The microwave
Microwaves are converted to heat in foodstuffs. You will find
information about ovenware and how to set the microwave.
Note:
In the
Tested for you in our cooking studio
section, you
will find examples for defrosting, heating and cooking with the
microwave oven.
Try out the microwave straight away. You could heat up a cup
of water for your tea, for example.
Use a large cup without any decorative gold or silver trim and
place a teaspoon in it. Place the cup containing the water on
the turntable.

After 1 minute 30 seconds, a signal sounds. The water for the
tea is hot.
As you are drinking your tea, please take time to read again the
safety information that can be found at the front of the
instruction manual. This is very important.
Notes regarding ovenware
Suitable ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass,
glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant 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.
Ovenware test
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The
following ovenware test is the only exception 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 ½ 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.
Microwave power settings
Note:
You can set the 900 W microwave power setting for 30
minutes, 600 W for 1 hour, the other power settings for 1 hour
