11.1 Cookware and accessories with
microwave
To heat food evenly and avoid damaging your appli-
ance, it is important to only use the right cookware and
accessories.
Follow the cookware manufacturer's instructions.
Unless otherwise specified, place the cookware and
accessory on level 1.
Microwave-safe cookware
Cookware made from heat-resistant, microwave-safe
material:
¡
Glass
¡
Glass ceramic
¡
Porcelain
¡
Temperature-resistant plastic
¡
Fully glazed ceramic without cracks
¡
Serving dishes
Only use cookware with decorative gold or silver
trim if the manufacturer guarantees its suitability for
microwave use.
¡
Supplied wire rack
Baking trays, e.g. the universal pan or the baking
tray, may create sparks and are not suitable.
These materials allow microwaves to pass through and
are not damaged.
Cookware that is not microwave-safe
Note:
Observe the specifications for preventing mater-
ial damage.

Metal cookware and bakeware
Microwaves cannot pass through metal. The food is
barely heated or not heated at all. Metal may create
sparks in microwave-only operation.
Cookware when adding microwave to an operating
mode
If you switch on the microwave for another operating
mode, metal is also an option, in addition to mi-
crowave-safe cookware and accessories:
¡
Metal cookware and bakeware
Metal must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking
compartment walls and the inside of the door.
¡
Accessories supplied:
Wire rack
Universal pan
Baking tray
Testing cookware for microwave suitability
If you are unsure whether your cookware is suitable for
use in the microwave, carry out a cookware test.
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.
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
The accessible parts of the appliance become hot dur-
ing operation.
▶
Never touch these hot parts.
▶
Keep children at a safe distance.
1.
Place the empty cookware in the cooking compart-
ment.
2.
Set the appliance to run for 30 seconds to 1 minute
at maximum power.
3.
Start the operation.
4.
Check the cookware several times:
‒
If the cookware remains 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.
11.2 Setting options with the microwave
You can use the microwave on its own or in combina-
tion with a different operating mode.
Microwave-only operation
The electromagnetic waves of the microwave alone
generate energy and this is converted into heat in food,
for example.
