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.

ment.
2. Set the appliance to the maximum microwave power
setting for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
3. Start the operation.
4. Check the cookware several times:
– If the cookware is cold or warm to the touch, it is
suitable for microwave use.

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