Testing dishes for their
suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass,
earthenware or porcelain plates or
dishes are suitable for use in a
microwave oven, a simple test can be
performed:
^
Place the empty container centrally
on the glass tray and slide into the
lowest shelf level.
^
Close the door.
A microwave oven process cannot
be started until the door is closed.
^
Touch the ON/OFF sensor to call up
the main menu.
^
Select Microwave.
The highest microwave power level is
then highlighted (1000 W).
^
Confirm with "OK".
^
Enter a duration of 30 seconds and
confirm with "OK".
If a crackling noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
test, switch off the appliance imme-
diately by touching the ON/OFF
sensor.
Any crockery which causes this
reaction is unsuitable for use with
microwave power.
If any doubt exists about the
suitability of containers, please
contact the supplier.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
