tion.

You can only use this

kind of cookware if the
manufacturer guarantees
that it is microwave-safe.

6.3 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.

Place the empty cookware in the cooking compart-
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.

– If the cookware becomes hot or sparks are cre-

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

6.4 Configuring the microwave settings

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.
