Miele M8260-1 - Manual (Page 14)

Plastic
When purchasing plasticware, be
sure it is suitable for use in a
microwave.
It must be heat resistant up to 230°F
(110°C) otherwise the plastic may
melt into the food. Otherwise the
plastic may melt.
Special plasticware, designed for use
in microwaves is available in retail
outlets.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating.
They should be pierced beforehand
so that steam can escape. This
prevents a build-up of pressure and
reduces the risk of the bag bursting.
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
with metal parts, or twist ties
containing wire. They could ignite
when heated.
Disposable containers
Only those plastic disposable
containers specified under "Plastics"
are suitable for use in the microwave.
Do not leave the microwave
unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or
other flammable materials.
Disposable containers are not always
microwave safe.
