You can use the microwave to cook, heat up or defrost food very quickly.
8.1 Microwave output settings
This is where you can find an overview of the different microwave power settings and when to use them.

The "boost" microwave output setting is not de-
signed for heating liquids. To protect the appliance, the
maximum power of the microwave is gradually reduced
from 900 watts to 600 watts after the first few minutes.
Full output is made available again after a cooling
period.
8.2 Microwave-safe cookware and
accessories
To heat food evenly and avoid damaging your appli-
ance, it is important to use the right cookware and ac-
cessories.
Note:

ing any cookware in the microwave. If in doubt, carry
out a cookware test.

will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
▶

2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.

You can only use this
kind of cookware if the

that it is microwave-safe.
8.3 Testing cookware for microwave
suitability

crowave use. Testing cookware is the only time the ap-
pliance should be operated in microwave mode without
any food inside.

ing operation.
▶
Never touch these hot parts.

setting for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

ated, stop the cookware test. The cookware is
not microwave-safe.
