Testing dishes for their suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass, earthen
-
ware 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.
^
Shut the door.
A microwave oven process cannot
be started until the door is closed.
^
Select Microwave h with the function
selector. The cooling fan will run.
The display will show a suggested
power level of 900 W.
^
Press the g button.
0•00 appears in the display for
approx. 4 seconds.
While it is visible enter a time of 30 sec
-
onds with the "+" control.
The c symbol appears above the dot.
^
Press the Start/Stop button.
The oven interior light comes on. The
time entered counts down in the display
in second steps. The c symbol stays
on constantly.
If a crackling noise is heard accom
-
panied by sparks during the test,
switch off the appliance immediately.
Turn the function selector to the "0"
position. Any crockery which causes
this reaction is unsuitable for use in
the microwave oven.
At the end of this period a beep sounds
three times and the c symbol flashes.
Press any button to cancel them. The
time of day reappears in the display
and the oven interior light goes out.
The water in the glass should be warm,
but the dish cool. If the dish is very hot
and the water is cold, it would be un-
wise to use the dish.
