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:
^
Insert the glass tray in the oven at the
lowest shelf level and place the
empty item you wish to test on the
glass tray. Fill a suitable glass with
water and also place this on the
glass tray.
^
Close the door.
^
Select the microwave function
_
and select the hightest power level
(1000 W).
^
Confirm with "OK".
^
Enter a duration of 30 seconds and
confirm with "OK".
At the end of the test, the water in
the glass should be warm and the
dish cool. If the dish is hot, it would
be unwise to use the dish.
If a cracking noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
test, switch the appliance off imme-
diately. Any crockery which causes
this reaction is unsuitable for use
with microwave power.
If any doubt exists about the
suitability of a container, 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.
Placing the dish in the oven
^
Insert the glass tray at the lowest
shelf level.
^
The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the
glass tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven
defrosting/cooking/reheating results
as the microwaves would not be able
to reach the food from below.
