Materials That Are Partially Suitable; Unsuitable Materials - Medion MD 17495 Mode D'emploi

5.2. Materials that are partially suitable

• Stoneware and ceramics. Use clay containers only for defrosting and for short
cooking times because the air and water content of the material could cause the
clay to crack or break.
• Dishes with gold or silver trim should only be used if they have been labelled
"microwave-safe" by the manufacturer.
• Never use aluminium foil in large quantities. It can however be used e.g. in small
pieces to cover sensitive parts. You can also cover the corners of containers to
prevent overcooking as the microwave energy is primarily concentrated on the
corners. Maintain a distance of 2.5 cm between the foil and the internal wall.
• Aluminium containers (e.g. those for ready-to-serve meals) are suitable, but they
must be at least 3cm high to be used in the microwave oven.

5.3. Unsuitable materials

• Metal, i.e. metal pots, pans and lids.
ATTENTION!
Risk of damage!
Risk of damage due to improper use of the device.
 Never use dishes with metal trim, metal utensils or the grill
rack in microwave mode as the sparks which are generated
could damage the device and/or the dishes.
 The grill rack supplied with the product may only be used in
grill mode.
 Do not use crystal or lead crystal in microwave mode. It can
shatter, and coloured glass may become discoloured.
 Do not use materials which are not resistant to heat. They
may warp or may even catch fire.
In order to test whether a dish is suitable for use in the microwave oven,
put some water in it and place it in the microwave oven.
Press the
mode for 1 minute. If you ascertain that the container is hotter than the
food, then it is not suitable for the microwave oven. Microwave-safe
dishes are only warmed by the heat of the food.
