Care and maintenance
Microwave suitable dishes are transparent to microwaves (i.e. made of such materials as
plastic, glass and ceramics), especially when also fireproof. Suitable dishes only become
slightly warm after one minute microwave cooking at high power.
Dishes unsuitable for microwave ovens are all metal dishes which reflect microwaves.
Also unsuitable for microwaves are dishes made of lead glass, dishes with metal applications
(gold edged), paper or plastic containers which cannot withstand high temperatures (120° C).
◆ If in doubt, check for information such as "microwave suitable".
◆ Dishes, foils and covers should never be allowed to touch the walls of the
oven compartment.
Best cooking results are achieved if not only the material but also the shape of the dish is
suitable.
Round dishes promote more even heating, whereas in square or rectangular dishes the food
can easily dry out or char in the corners.
Food in flat dishes will cook more evenly.
Small pieces of aluminium foil are good for covering any vulnerable sections (e.g. the thin flat
tail end of a fish).
Although this microwave oven is fitted with state-of-the-art safety arrangements ...
◆ never manipulate or tamper with the door locks or hinges,
◆ make sure the seals and seal surfaces are free of contamination e.g. food remains or
cleaner residues.
Clean the oven – especially the seal areas of the door – with a mild cleaning agent.
Do not use any abrasive agents or abrasive pads.
◆ Make sure the oven door is not mistreated (e.g. that children don't swing on it). Do not use
the oven if it is damaged.
It is especially important that the door closes properly. The door must have no distortions,
the hinges and locks must not be broken, bent or loose and the seal surfaces must not be
corroded.
◆ Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.
◆ The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the
temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns;
