Coloured glass or glass with decorations shall be avoided since metal e. g. gold, might be part of the decoration and such decorations will be damaged. Plastics and paper can also be used, provided they can withstand the temperature of the heated food. For cooking only use plastics, which will withstand a temperature of over 1200 C Some plastic materials, e. g. Square or rectangular containers may over-cook foods in the corners because more energy is absorbed there. Shallow containers give more even cooking results.

It is possible to use aluminium foil to shield delicate areas of food (this prevents over-cooking). To find out if a certain container is suitable, the following simple test can be made: Place the empty container and a glass of water inside the microwave oven. The water is needed because the oven must not be operated empty or with empty containers. A suitable container will only be lukewarm. Suitable Not suitable Metal containers, e. g. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven just as they bounce off the metal walls of the oven and cause "arcing", a phenomenon that resembles lightning. Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used, but only to shield the areas that would over-cook (e. g. for covering chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails) but the foil must not touch the side of the oven as arcing (damage) may occur. CAUTION! There are a number of accessories avaliable on the market Before you buy, make sure they are suitable for microwave use. When you put food in the microwave oven, make sure that food, food supports or covering do not come in direct contact with any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity. Aluminium foil containers and microwaves It is now possible to use disposable aluminium foil containers in this new generation of microwave ovens, providing these simple rules are followed: * Always remove foil-laminated fibre board lid from the container before heating, otherwise oven damage can occur. * Aluminium foil containers with a height exceeding 3 cm should be avoided and the container must be at leas t 2/3 full. * There must be a minimum of 1 cm between the aluminium foil container and the walls of the oven, to avoid sparking. * Aluminium foil containers should always be used singly in a microwave oven, and placed on the glass turn-table provided. * Follow the instructions provided by the food producer to ensure thorough heating of the food product throughout. If you are using a foil container for self produced foods they * may take longer to heat than when using plastic, glass, porcelain or paper containers. A useful tip is to place the foil container in a heat resisting glass or plastic bowl, adding some hot water (not more than 1 cm deep) to provide heating for the foil container base. Stir if appropriate or let the food stand for 2-3 minutes after heating, to assist heat distribution within the container. 10 Hints Points to remember when defrosting manually * The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. * Separate pieces as they begin to defrost; free-flow slices defrost more easily. [. . . ] Do not spray directly on the oven Service If the oven does not work, do not make a service call until youhave made the following checks: * The Turn-table and turn-table support is in place. When calling for Service, please give the serial number and type number of the oven (see Service label). Important: If the mains cord needs replacing it should be replaced by the original mains cord which is available via our service organisation. The mains cord must only be replaced by a trained service technician. WARNING! Service only to be carried out by a service technician trained by the manufacture. [. . . ]
