Unsuitable containers for
microwave use
Dishes with hollow knobs or
handles are not suitable for use with
microwave modes. Moisture which
has gathered in the hollow recesses
can cause pressure to build up and
the item can explode.
Metal
Metal reflects microwaves and
obstructs the cooking process.
Do not use metal containers, aluminum
foil, or metal cutlery and dishes with a
metallic finish (gold rims or cobalt blue,
for example) with Microwave
combination programs.
Do not use containers where the foil
lid has not been completely removed
as small pieces of foil can cause
sparking.
Exceptions:
The rack
supplied
is only suitable for
cooking in Combination modes and
modes that do not use microwave. It
is
not suitable
for cooking in the
Microwave (Solo)
mode.
The rack should be used on a shelf
level. Do not place it on the floor of
the oven.
– Metal bakeware can be used with
Microwave combination programs.
– Ready-meals in aluminum foil trays
can be defrosted and reheated using
microwave power as long as the lid is
removed.
Using aluminum foil trays can cause
crackling and sparking. Therefore,
place aluminum foil trays on the
glass tray and not on the wire rack.
Make sure that the aluminum tray is
at least 3/4" (2 cm) from the oven
walls at all times. It must not touch
the walls.
However, as food is only heated from
the top, it is better to remove the food
from the aluminum foil container and
transfer it to a dish suitable for use in a
microwave oven. The heat distribution
will be more even.
