Danger of burning.
Earthenware can get very hot and
may crack.
Wear protective gloves when remov-
ing dishes from the steam oven.
Plastics
Plastic containers and plastic dispos-
able containers may only be used with
the Microwave function
if they have
been declared as suitable for mi-
crowave use by the manufacturer. To
protect the environment it is best to
avoid using single-use containers.
Do not leave the steam oven unat-
tended when reheating or cooking
food in disposable containers made
of plastic, paper or other inflam-
mable materials.
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 110 °C. Otherwise the
plastic may melt and fuse with the
food.
When cooking food with fat, or food
containing fat, do not use plastic
containers. Use only glass or porcel-
ain.
– Plastic microwave containers
These are readily available from retail
outlets.
– Styrofoam containers
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used for very short, timed warming and
reheating of food.
– Plastic "Boil-in-the-bag" bags
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should be
pierced beforehand so that steam can
escape.
This prevents a build-up of pressure
and reduces the risk of the bag burst-
ing.
There are also special steaming bags
available which do not need to be
pierced. Please follow instructions given
on the packet.
– Roasting bags and tubes
Please follow the manufacturer's in-
structions when using roasting bags
and tubes.
Fire hazard.
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
containing metal parts, or paper ties
containing wire. There is a danger
that they will ignite when heated.
– Melamine containers
Melamine is not suitable for use in this
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave en-
ergy and gets hot. When purchasing
plasticware, make sure that it is suitable
for use in a microwave oven.
