1.7 OVENWARE TO BE USED
You can make use of all types of containers made of glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics, porcelain and glazed pottery as long as they do not have decorations or metal parts (gilded borders, handles, feet). Heat resistant plastic containers can also be used, but only for “Microwave Only” cooking. If you are still doubtful about using a particular container, you can perform a simple test. Place the empty container in the oven for 30 seconds at maximum power (“Microwave Only” function).
If the container is still cold or only slightly warm, it is suitable for microwave cooking. If it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is not suitable.
For short heating periods, you may use paper napkins, cardboard trays and plastic “throwaway” plates as a base.
As far as shape and size are concerned, it is absolutely essential that containers be such as to allow the turntable to rotate.
In order to use
Containers made of metal, wood, recycled kitchen paper, cane and plate glass are not suitable for use in microwave ovens. The metal grill rack supplied with your microwave have been fully tested for safe use. You should remember, too, that since microwaves heat the food and not the glassware, earthenware or similar containers for that food, it is possible to cook such foods in the serving dish and thereby avoid the problem of having to clean pans later.
If the oven is used in its grill only functions, any type of oven container may be used (see chart).
