COMBINING MICROWAVES AND THE GRILL
You can also combine microwave cooking with the grill, to cook quickly and brown at the
same time.
ALWAYS
use microwave-safe and oven-proof cookware. Glass or ceramic dishes
are ideal as they allow the microwaves to penetrate the food evenly.
ALWAYS
use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven, as they will be
very hot.
1.
Open the oven door by pushing the large button in the
bottom right-hand corner of the control panel. Place the
food on the rack and the rack on the turntable. Close the
door.
2.
Turn the
COOKING POWER CONTROL
knob to the
appropriate power Level (

3.
Turn the

The maximum microwave power for the combined microwave and grill mode is
600 W.
CHOOSING THE ACCESSORIES
Use microwave-safe recipients; do not use plastic containers,
dishes, paper cups, towels, etc.
If you wish to select the combined cooking mode (grill and
microwave), use only dishes that are microwave-safe and oven-
proof.
For further details on suitable cookware and utensils, refer to the cookware guide on
page 17-18.
cookware guide
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food,
without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used.
Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked
microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.
The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they
should be used in a microwave oven.
