Suitable utensils and materials
When you prepare food in the microwave oven, you should
preferably use the following utensils and materials:
Glass and glass bowls
Stoneware (glazed and unglazed). The food stays hot longer in
glazed stoneware than in other dishes.
Plastic containers. Can be used for many heating purposes.
Caution! Plastic containers made from melamine, polyethylene
and phenol must NOT be used.
Porcelain. All porcelain can be used in microwave ovens,
although fireproof porcelain is preferable.
Fireproof covered dishes. Glass dishes with lids that fit so closely
that steam cannot escape are ideal for vegetables and fruit to
which no liquid is added (however, the cooking time must not
exceed 5 minutes).
Browning dishes. You must be very careful when using this type
of dish. Never heat the browning dish for more than 5 minutes
on the turntable. Suitable insulation, such as a heat-tested plate,
should be placed between the browning dish and the turntable to
prevent the turntable from overheating.
Microwave oven roasting film can be used, particularly for soups,
sauces, stewed dishes or when defrosting food. Can also be
used as a loose covering to prevent fat, etc. from spraying out
into the oven compartment.
Kitchen roll is ideal, as it absorbs moisture and fat. For example,
bacon can be placed in layers, with kitchen roll between each
layer. The bacon will then be completely crispy, as it does not sit
in its own fat. Home-baked bread can be taken directly from the
freezer, packed in kitchen roll and heated in the microwave oven.
Wet kitchen roll can be used for fish or vegetables. Covering the
food prevents it from drying out.
Greaseproof paper Fish, large vegetables, such as cauliflower,
corn on the cob and similar can be packed in wet greaseproof
paper.
Roasting bags are ideal for meat, fish and vegetables. However,
they must never be closed using metal clips. Cotton thread
should be used instead. Prick the bag with small holes, and place
it in the microwave oven on a plate or glass dish.
Unsuitable utensils and materials
When you prepare food in the microwave oven, you should not
use the following utensils and materials:
Sealed glass/bottles with small openings, as they may explode.
General purpose thermometers
Silver foil/foil trays, as the microwave rays cannot penetrate the
material and the food will not cook.
Recycled paper, as it may contain small metal splinters that could
cause sparks and/or a fire.
Closed tins/containers with tightly sealed lids, as excess pressure
may cause the tin/container to explode.
Metal clips and other lids/foils, containing metal wires. These
can form sparks in the microwave oven and must therefore be
removed.
Metal bowls/containers and packaging, unless they are designed
specifically for use in microwave ovens. The microwaves are
reflected and cannot penetrate the food through the metal.
Plates, dishes and bowls/containers with metal, gold and silver
decorations. They may break and/or cause sparks to form in the
oven compartment.
CLEANING
When cleaning the microwave oven, you should pay attention to
the following points:
• Switch the microwave oven off and remove the plug from the
wall socket before cleaning.
• Never use scouring powder, steel scourers or other strong
cleaning agents to clean the interior or exterior surfaces of the
microwave oven, as they may scratch the surfaces.
• Instead use a cloth dampened with hot water, and add
detergent if the microwave oven is very dirty.
• Make sure that no water gets into the vent holes.
• The turning ring and the floor of the microwave oven must be
cleaned regularly so that the glass turntable can move around
without hindrance.
• The glass turntable and turning ring can be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
• Do not remove the magnetron cover (6) on the inside of the
oven!
• Tip: When the oven has been in use for some time, the oven
compartment can begin to smell. If the smell is not dispersed
by ordinary cleaning, place a few lemon slices in a cup
and cook them in the microwave oven at full power for 2-3
minutes. This will effectively disperse the smell.
BEFORE GOING TO A REPAIR CENTRE
If the microwave oven will not start:
• Check that the plug is correctly in place in the wall socket. If
that is not the case, remove the plug, wait 10 seconds and
then plug it in again.
• Check whether a fuse has blown or whether the fuse relay
has been switched off. If it is not that, you can check that the
socket itself is working by plugging in another device.
• Check that the oven door is closed properly. If this is not the
case, the automatic safety system via the lock dowels (1)
ensures that the microwave oven cannot be started.
• Check if the timer is activated.
If the microwave oven still does not work, you should contact a
repair engineer.
