Miele M8260-1 - Manual (Page 12)

Microwaves:
– are reflected by metal,
– pass through glass and chinaware,
– are absorbed by the food.
Material and shape
The material and shape of containers
used affect cooking results and times.
Circular and oval containers work best.
The food will heat more evenly than in a
square container.
Container and lids which contain
hollow handles or knobs are not
suitable for use in the microwave.
The handles or knobs could collect
moisture if not adequately vented.
Without vent holes pressure can
build up, causing the container to
crack or shatter, danger of injury.
Metal
,
Do not use metal containers,
aluminum foil, cutlery or dishes with
metal decor in the microwave.
The metal reflects the microwaves
which can damage the microwave.
