The microwave

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The energy makes it possible to cook or
warm up dishes without affecting the form or colour.
Note! never use the (combi) microwave function without a dish in the oven! The oven
can become damaged if the microwave cannot apply its power.
Important!
The food is cooked from the inside out by means of heat distribution. The cooking continues
even when you take the dish from the oven. Standing times in recipes and in this book should
therefore be adhered to, in order to ensure:
• Even heating into the middle of the dish.
• Equal temperatures in all parts of the dish.
Guidelines for microwave cookware
Cookware you use for the microwave function should not block the microwaves.
Metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper reflect microwaves. For that reason, do not
use metal cookware. Cookware which is designated as microwave-safe can be used safely. For
more information about suitable cookware, consult the following guidelines and always use the
turntable or the glass baking tray on level 1
if you use the microwave function.
