28You can make use of all types of containersmade of glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics,porcelain and glazed pottery as long as they donot have decorations or metal parts (gildedborders, handles, feet). Heat resistant plasticcontainers can also be used, but only for“Microwave Only” cooking. If you are stilldoubtful about using a particular container, youcan perform a simple test. Place the emptycontainer in the oven for 30 seconds atmaximum power (“Microwave Only” function).If the container is still cold or only slightly warm,it is suitable for microwave cooking. If it is veryhot or gives out sparks, it is not suitable.For short heating periods, you may use papernapkins, cardboard trays and plastic“throwaway” plates as a base. As far as shapeand size are concerned, it is absolutely essentialthat containers be such as to allow the turntableto rotate. In order to use large-size rectangularcontainers (which may not be able to rotateinside the cooking cavity), you can remove thespindle (D) from its housing to prevent theturntable (F) moving. Bear in mind that to beassured of good results when carrying this outyou must stir the food and turn the containeraround several times during the cookingprocess. Containers made of metal, wood,recycled kitchen paper, cane and plate glassare not suitable for use in microwave ovens.The metal rack supplied with your microwavehave been fully tested for safe use. You shouldremember, too, that since microwaves heat thefood and not the glassware, earthenware orsimilar containers for that food, it is possible tocook such foods in the serving dish and therebyavoid the problem of having to clean pans laterIf the oven is used in its grill only functions, anytype of oven container may be used (see chart).OVENWAREPlastic formicro-wavesYESNOPapercups*YESNOPaperplates*YESNOPyrexYESYESCard-board*YESNOMetalcontain-ersNOYESGlass-ware withmetalpartsNOYESSpecialroastingpaperYESYESMicrowave onlyGrill onlyClayplatesYESYESPorce-lainYESYESCera-micsYESYESGlassYESNO* If the heating time is too long, it may catch fire.00 00DISPLAY• Displays cooking time• Displays weight for auto-defrostNO NO NO YES NO YESmicrowave + grill YESYESYESNO NO NOTIME/ADJUST KNOB KG• Selects cooking time• Select weight for auto-defrostSTART BUTTONStarts cookingGRILL/COMBI/MICRO BUTTONSSelects the type of cookingrequiredMEMORY BUTTONMemorises cooking programmesBUTTONAutomatic defrostingAUTO BUTTONAutomatic cooking programmesSTOP/CLEAR BUTTONStops cookingDESCRIPTION AND USE OF THE CONTROLS
