Place the empty container on the turntable together with a glass of water and run the oven for one minute at maximum power.

After one minute :

•if the container is cold, it is “transparent” and can be used for micro- wave cooking,

•if the container is warm or hot it is absorbent and must not be used for microwave cooking.

Never use hermetically sealed containers.

Remember to remove covers and stoppers from feeding bottles, jars, bottles and plastic containers.

Disposable containers

Never leave the appliance to run unsupervised when using disposable containers in plastic, paper or other inflammable materials.

If you see smoke appear, keep the oven door closed and disconnect your appliance.

Metal containers

Never use metallic materials and containers for microwave cooking. You can, however, use your appliance to heat or defrost certain prepara- tions in metallic trays, provided the height of the tray does not exceed 4 cm, not including the cover.

With regard to the cover, follow the instructions on the package. It will have to be removed or left in place, as the case may be. If not indicated otherwise, play safe and remove it.

Centre the tray(s) on the turntable, leaving at least 1 cm clearance from the oven walls. If there are several trays, space them at least 2 cm apart.

“grill” and “air” (fan oven) modes

These cooking modes do not require the use of special containers. Use the same kind of heatproof containers as you would use in a conventional oven.

Never use plastic containers (they may melt) or containers in paper or cardboard (fire-risk).

Maintain a minimum clearance of 2 cm between the food and the grill element.

“micro grill” and “micro air” modes (combined cooking)

Containers not permitted in “micro” mode are also not permitted in “micro grill” and “micro air” modes.

Containers not permitted in “grill” and “air” modes are also not per- mitted in “micro grill” and “micro air” modes.

Use only containers that can withstand both microwaves and high temperatures.
