of plastic may become limp and deform, while some types of ceramics may crack (particularly when heating small quantities of food).
In order to test if a container is suitable for use in a microwave oven:
•Place the container in the microwave oven.
•At the same time, place a
•Start the microwave oven, and run it for
•If the container becomes very hot to the touch, you should avoid using it in the microwave oven.
When you prepare food in the microwave oven, you should preferably use the following utensils and materials:
•Glass and glass bowls
•Stoneware (glazed and unglazed). The food stays hot longer in glazed stoneware than in other dishes.
•Plastic containers. Can be used for many heating purposes. Caution! Plastic containers made from melamine, polyethylene and phenol must NOT be used.
•Porcelain. All porcelain can be used in microwave ovens, although fireproof porcelain is preferable.
•Fireproof covered dishes. Glass dishes with lids that fit so closely that steam cannot escape are ideal for vegetables and fruit to which no liquid is added (however, the cooking time must not exceed 5 minutes).
•Browning dishes. You must be very careful when using this type of dish. Never heat the browning dish for more than 5 minutes on the turntable. Suitable insulation, such as a
•Microwave oven roasting film can be used, particularly for soups, sauces, stewed dishes or when defrosting food. Can also be used as a loose covering to prevent fat, etc. from spraying out into the oven compartment.
•Kitchen roll is ideal, as it absorbs moisture and fat. For example, bacon can be placed in layers, with kitchen roll between each layer. The bacon will then be completely crispy, as it does not sit in its own fat. Home- baked bread can be taken directly from the freezer, packed in kitchen roll and heated in the microwave oven.
•Wet kitchen roll can be used for fish or vegetables. Covering the food prevents it from drying out.
•Greaseproof paper Fish, large vegetables, such as cauliflower, corn on the cob and similar can be packed in wet greaseproof paper.
•Roasting bags are ideal for meat, fish and vegetables. However, they must never be closed using metal clips. Cotton thread should be used instead. Prick the bag with small holes, and place it in the microwave oven on a plate or glass dish.
Important!
When you prepare food in the microwave oven, you should not use the following utensils and materials:
•Sealed glass/bottles with small openings, as they may explode.
•General purpose thermometers
•Silver foil/foil trays, as the microwave rays cannot penetrate the material and the food will not cook.
•Recycled paper, as it may contain small metal splinters that could cause sparks and/or a fire.
•Closed tins/containers with tightly sealed lids, as excess pressure may cause the tin/container to explode.
•Metal clips and other lids/foils, containing metal wires. These can form sparks in the microwave oven and must therefore be removed.
•Metal bowls/containers and packaging, unless they are designed specifically for use in microwave ovens. The microwaves are reflected and cannot penetrate the food through the metal.
•Plates, dishes and bowls/containers with metal, gold and silver decorations. They may break and/or cause sparks to form in the oven compartment.
CLEANING
When cleaning the microwave oven, you should pay attention to the following points:
•Switch the microwave oven off and remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
•Never use scouring powder, steel scourers or other strong cleaning agents to clean the interior or exterior surfaces of the microwave oven, as they may scratch the surfaces.
•Instead use a cloth dampened with hot water, and add detergent if the microwave oven is very dirty.
•Make sure that no water gets into the vent holes.
•The turning ring and the floor of the microwave oven must be cleaned regularly so that the glass turntable can move around without hindrance.
•The glass turntable and turning ring can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
•Do not remove the magnetron cover (4) on the inside of the oven!
•Tip: When the oven has been in use for some time, the oven compartment can begin to smell. If the smell is not dispersed by ordinary cleaning, place a few lemon slices in a cup and cook them in the microwave oven at full power for
BEFORE GOING TO A REPAIR CENTRE
If the microwave oven will not start:
•Check that the plug is correctly in place in the wall socket. If that is not the case, remove the plug, wait 10 seconds and then plug it in again.
•Check whether a fuse has blown or whether the fuse relay has been switched off. If it is not that, you can check that the socket itself is working by plugging in another device.
•Check that the oven door is closed properly. If this is not the case, the automatic safety system via the lock dowels (2) ensures that the microwave oven cannot be started.
•Check if the timer is activated.
If the microwave oven still does not work, you should contact a repair engineer.
