Dishes for microwave ovens
CAUTION!

•  Tightly sealed containers heated in a microwave can be explosive.
•  Sealed containers should be opened and plastic bags should be poked a few times with a fork in order to allow 

steam to escape before being placed in the microwave oven. 

•  If you are unsure about using a certain dish in the microwave oven, then conduct a test. 

Checking dishes before using them in the microwave

•  Place the dish in the cooking chamber of the oven (a plate, for example) and place a glass cup of water in the 

center of the dish. 

•  Set the microwave to maximum power and heat for no more than one minute. 
•  Carefully touch the dish you are testing: if it heated up and the water in the cup is cold, than the dish should not 

be used in the microwave. 

•  Avoid testing dishes for more than one minute.

Materials and dishes that are safe to use in your microwave oven 

Aluminum Foil

Foil can only be used in grill mode. The distance between the foil and the walls of 
the microwave oven should be no less than 2.5 cm. 
 Small pieces of foil can be used to cover thin pieces of meat or poultry to prevent 
overcooking. 

In microwave mode, if the foil is placed too close to the cooking chamber 
walls, arcing, burning out of the screening grill on the door and oven 
malfunction can occur. In this case, you void your free warranty service 
and repair. 

Dishes for frying

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The bottom of the dish for frying should be 5 mm thicker than the rotating glass 
tray. Improper use of dishes for frying can lead to cracks in the dishes themselves 
and in the glass tray.

Dinner plates

Only those designed for use in microwave ovens. Follow the manufacturer’s 
instructions.  Do not use cracked or chipped plates.

Glass containers

Only containers made from heat-resistant glass and designed for use in
