What cookware may be used in your appliance?
In the mode “only microwaves” and in the combination modes with microwaves all containers made of
glass (Pyrex even better), ceramic, porcelain or terracotta may be used as long as they have no
decorations and metal parts (decorative or gold edges, handles, feet). Heat-resistant plastic containers
(200 °C) may also be used.
Containers made of metal, wood, straw and crystal are unsuitable for cooking with microwaves.
At this point you should be reminded once again that the microwaves heat the food and not the cook-
ware and therefore the meals can be cooked directly in the serving dishes; this dispenses with the use
and subsequent washing-up of pots and pans. However, it is possible for the very hot food to transfer its
heat to the plate, thus necessitating the use of oven cloths.
If the appliance is set at the modes “
Only hot air oven
” or “
Only grill
”, all containers suitable for a stan-
dard oven may be used.
However, their shape and size must always permit the turntable to rotate properly.
To find out whether a container is suitable for a microwave oven, please conduct the following
small test:
Place an empty container in the oven for 30 seconds at the maximum power level (function “Only mic-
rowaves”). If the container does not become warm at all or becomes only slightly warm, it is suitable for
cooking with microwaves. If, on the other hand, it heats up a lot (or sparks develop), it is unsuitable.
