ance, it is important to use the right cookware and ac-
cessories.
Read the manufacturer's instructions before using any
cookware in the microwave. If in doubt, carry out a
cookware test. Testing cookware for microwave suitab-

Microwave-safe
Cookware and accessor-
ies
Reason
Cookware made from
heat-resistant, microwave-
safe material:
¡
Glass
¡
Glass ceramic
¡
Porcelain
¡
Temperature-resistant
plastic
¡
Fully glazed ceramic
without cracks
Microwaves do not dam-
age heat-resistant mater-
ial.
Accessories supplied:
Wire rack
The wire rack supplied
has been designed spe-
cifically for the appliance
and is therefore suitable
for microwave use.
Metal cutlery
You can use metal cut-
lery, e.g. place a spoon in
a glass, to prevent
delayed boiling.
Note:
Metal may create
sparks, which could dam-
age the cooking compart-
ment and the inner door
pane. Metal must be kept
at least 2 cm from the
cooking compartment
walls and the inside of the
door.
Not microwave-safe
Cookware and accessor-
ies
Reason
Metal cookware
Microwaves cannot pass
through metal. The food is
barely heated or not
heated at all.
Cookware with gold or sil-
ver decoration
Microwaves can damage
gold and silver decora-
tion. Only use this kind of
cookware if the manufac-
turer guarantees that it is
microwave-safe.
Microwave-safe in MicroCombi mode
In MicroCombi mode, a microwave output of up to 600
W watts can be added to a type of heating. This means
that metal dishes can be used in MicroCombi mode.
Cookware and accessor-
ies
Reason
Accessories supplied
The accessories supplied,
e.g. the wire rack, do not
create sparks in Micro-
Combi mode.
Metal baking tins
Cakes will brown both on
top and on the bottom, as
baking tins made of metal
conduct heat more effi-
ciently.
Note:
Metal may create
sparks, which could dam-
age the cooking compart-
ment and the inner door
pane. Metal must be kept
at least 2 cm from the
cooking compartment
walls and the inside of the
door.
8.3 Testing cookware for microwave
suitability
Test cookware to see whether it is suitable for mi-
crowave use. Testing cookware is the only time the ap-
pliance should be operated in microwave mode without
any food inside.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
The accessible parts of the appliance become hot dur-
ing operation.
▶
Never touch these hot parts.
▶
Keep children at a safe distance.
1.
Place the empty cookware in the cooking compart-
ment.
2.
Set the appliance to run for 30 seconds to 1 minute
at maximum power.
3.
Press to start.
4.
Check the cookware several times:
– If the cookware is cold or warm to the touch, it is
suitable for microwave use.
– If the cookware becomes hot or sparks are cre-
ated, the stop the cookware test. The cookware
is not microwave-safe.
8.4 Configuring the microwave settings
Different power levels and settings are available for dif-
ferent types of food and recipes.
ATTENTION!
Operating the appliance without food in the cooking
compartment may lead to overloading.
▶
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test.
