Selecting cookware Exceptions: The enclosed combi rack is only suitable for combi functions not the microwave solo function. Do not set it on the oven floor. - Metal baking dishes are suitable for baking with a combination microwave baking method. However they are not recommended, metal reflects the microwaves causing longer cooking times. In addition, the use of metal pans could cause sparking. - Pre-cooked meals in aluminum foil containers can be defrosted and reheated in the oven. Important: Remove the lid before heating the food. The food is heated only from above. To heat the food evenly place it in a container suitable for microwaving. When using aluminum foil containers, crackling and sparking may occur, do not place them on the combi rack. - Metal meat skewers or clamps should only be used if they are small in comparison to the size of the meat. Glassware Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glassware are ideal for use in the oven. Crystal contains lead and is unsuitable. Porcelain (china) Porcelain (china) is suitable for use in the oven. Do not use porcelain with gold or silver edging or items with hollow knobs or handles, insufficient ventilation may cause damage. Earthenware Decorated earthenware is only suitable if the decoration is beneath the glaze. Earthenware can get very hot and may crack. - For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of aluminum foil may be used to mask wing-tips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the process. Make sure that the aluminum foil is at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls. Glazes and colors Some glazes and colors contain metallic substances. They are not suitable for the oven. Wood Wood containers are not suitable. The water from the wood evaporates during the cooking process causing it to dry out and crack. 23
