Testing dishes for their
suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass,
earthenware or porcelain plates or
dishes are suitable for use in a
microwave oven, a simple test can be
performed:
^
Place the item you wish to test in the
centre of the oven, fill a suitable glass
with water and also place this in the
oven.
^
Close the door.
^ Turn the power selector to 800 W.
^ Enter a time of 30 seconds with the
time selector.
^ Press the Start button.
At the end of the test, the water in
the glass should be warm and the
dish cool. If the dish is hot, it would
be unwise to use the dish. If a
crackling noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
test, switch the appliance off imme
-
diately (press Stop/C button twice).
Any crockery which causes this
reaction is unsuitable for use with
microwave power.
If any doubt exists about the
suitability of containers, please
contact the supplier.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
