Microwave
Microwave
You can use the microwave to cook, heat up or defrost
food quickly. You can use the microwave on its own or
in combination with the grill.
To ensure optimum use of the microwave, please
observe the notes on cookware and familiarise yourself
with the data in the application tables at the end of the
instruction manual.
Cookware
Not all cookware is microwavable. So that your food is
heated and the appliance is not damaged, only use
microwavable cookware.
Suitable cookware
Heat-resistant cookware made of glass, glass ceramic,
porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic are suitable.
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 cookware with decorative gold or silver trim if
the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for
use in microwaves.
Unsuitable cookware
Metal cookware 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 cooking
compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks
can irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the
door.
Cookware test
Never switch on the microwave unless there is food
inside. The short cookware test is the only exception to
this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether
your cookware is suitable for use in the microwave.
1.
Heat the empty cookware at maximum power for ½
to 1
minute.
2.
Check the temperature of the cookware during this
time.
The cookware should remain cold or warm to the touch.
The cookware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks
are generated.
In this case, stop the test.
:
Warning – Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in
operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a
safe distance.
