Rapid Preheating
The microwave
With rapid preheating, your oven reaches the set tem-
perature particularly quickly.
Rapid Preheating is available for the following types of
heating:
Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. The
microwave can be used solo, i.e. on its own, or in
combination with a different type of
heating. You will find information about
ovenware and how to set the microwave.
Notes regarding ovenware
Suitable ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of
glass, glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resis-
tant plastic. These materials allow microwaves to pass
through.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having
to transfer food from one dish to another. You should
only use ovenware with decorative gold or silver trim if
the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for
use in microwaves.
Unsuitable ovenware
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow
microwaves to pass through. Food in
covered metal containers will remain cold.
Caution!
Creation of sparks: metal - e.g. a spoon in a glass -
must be kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the
inside of the door. Sparks could destroy the glass on
the inside of the door.
To ensure an oven cooking result, only put your food in
the cooking compartment when the preheating phase
is complete.

to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether
your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for
to 1 minute.
2. Check the temperature occasionally during that
time.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks
are generated.
