8 Microwave
You can use the microwave to cook, heat up, bake or
defrost food very quickly. The microwave can be used
on its own or in combination with a type of heating.
8.1 Microwave-safe cookware and
accessories
To heat food evenly and avoid damaging your appli-
ance, it is important to use the right cookware and ac-
cessories.
Note:
Read the manufacturer's instructions before us-
ing any cookware in the microwave. If in doubt, carry
out a cookware test.
Microwave-safe
Cookware and accessor-
ies
Reason
Cookware made from
heat-resistant, microwave-
safe material:
¡
Glass
¡
Glass ceramic
¡
Porcelain
¡
Temperature-resistant
plastic
¡
Fully glazed ceramic
without cracks
These materials allow mi-
crowaves to pass
through. Microwaves do
not damage heat-resistant
cookware.
Metal cutlery
Note:
You can use metal
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.
Not microwave-safe
Cookware and accessor-
ies
Reason
Metal cookware
Metal does not allow mi-
crowaves to pass
through. The food hardly
heats up.
Cookware with gold or sil-
ver decoration
Microwaves can damage
gold and silver decora-
tion.
Tip:
You can only use this
kind of cookware if the
manufacturer guarantees
that it is microwave-safe.
8.2 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.
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.
Press
to start.
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.
