Testing dishes for their suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass, earthen-
ware or porcelain plates or dishes are
suitable for use in a microwave oven, a
simple test can be performed:
Place the item you wish to test in the
centre of the oven, fill a suitable
glass with water and also place this
in the oven.
Shut the door.
A microwave oven process cannot
be started until the door is closed.
Select Microwave mode
h
with the
function selector.
The cooling fan will run.
The oven will offer a microwave power
setting of 900 W.
Press the " - " button and set the
power setting to 600 W.
Press the
g
button.

appears for approx. 4 second-
s in the display.
While it is visible enter a time of 30 sec-
onds with the "+" control.
The
@
symbol appears above the dot.
Press the Start/Stop button.
The oven interior lighting comes on.
The time entered counts down in the
display in second steps. The
@
sym-
bol stays on constantly.
If a crackling noise is heard accom-
panied by sparks during the test,
switch off the appliance immediate-
ly. Turn the function selector switch
to the “0" position.
Any crockery which causes this reac-
tion is unsuitable for use in the micro-
wave oven.
At the end of this period a beep
sounds three times and the
@
symbol
flashes. Press any button to cancel the
beep. The time of day reappears in the
display and the oven interior lighting
goes out.
The water in the glass should be warm,
but the dish cool. If the dish is very hot
and the water is cold, it would be un-
wise to use the dish.
If any doubt exists about the suita-
bility of containers, please contact
the maker.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use in a micro-
wave oven.
