heat-resistant, microwave-
safe material:
¡
Glass
¡
Glass ceramic

cutlery, e.g. place a
spoon in a glass, to pre-
vent delayed boiling.
ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
▶
Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least
2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the
inside of the door.
