8.3 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.
▶
Place the empty cookware in the cooking compart-
1.
ment.
Set the appliance to run for 30 seconds to 1 minute
2.
at maximum power.
Press to start.
3.
Check the cookware several times:
4.
– 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, the stop the cookware test. The cookware
is not microwave-safe.
Reason
Microwaves cannot pass
through metal. The food is
barely heated or not
heated at all.
Microwaves can damage
gold and silver decora-
tion. Only use this kind of
cookware if the manufac-
turer guarantees that it is
microwave-safe.
Reason
The accessories supplied,
e.g. the wire rack, do not
create sparks in Micro-
Combi mode.
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.
8.4 Configuring the microwave settings
Different power levels and settings are available for dif-
ferent types of food and recipes.
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.
