Not microwave-safe
Cookware and accessor-
ies
Reason
Metal cookware
Microwaves cannot pass
through metal. The food is
barely heated or not
heated at all.
Cookware with gold or sil-
ver decoration
Microwaves can damage
gold and silver decora-
tion. Only use this kind of
cookware if the manufac-
turer guarantees that it is
microwave-safe.
Microwave-safe in MicroCombi mode
In MicroCombi mode, a microwave output of up to 600
W watts can be added to a type of heating. This means
that metal dishes can be used in MicroCombi mode.
Cookware and accessor-
ies
Reason
Accessories supplied
The accessories supplied,
e.g. the wire rack, do not
create sparks in Micro-
Combi mode.
Metal baking tins
Cakes will brown both on
top and on the bottom, as
baking tins made of metal
conduct heat more effi-
ciently.
Note:
Metal may create
sparks, which could dam-
age the cooking compart-
ment and the inner door
pane. Metal must be kept
at least 2 cm from the
cooking compartment
walls and the inside of the
door.
