Miele H 4088 BM - Manual (Page 22)

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.
,
Containers and lids which
contain hollow handles or knobs are
not suitable for use in the oven. 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 during the
microwave-solo function. Metal
reflects the microwaves which
hinders the cooking process. Sparks
may occur.
Do not use plastic cups with
incompletely removed aluminum lids
(such as cream cups). The remnants
of the lids can lead to sparking.
