8.2 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.
Read the manufacturer's instructions before using any
cookware in the microwave. If in doubt, carry out a
cookware test. Testing cookware for microwave suitab-

Microwave-safe
Cookware and accessor-
ies
Cookware made from
heat-resistant, microwave-
safe material:
¡ Glass
¡ Glass ceramic
¡ Porcelain
¡ Temperature-resistant
plastic
¡ Fully glazed ceramic
without cracks
Accessories supplied:
Wire rack
Metal cutlery
Not microwave-safe
Cookware and accessor-
ies
Metal cookware
Cookware with gold or sil-
ver decoration
Microwave-safe in MicroCombi mode
In MicroCombi mode, a microwave output of up to 600
W watts can be added to a type of heating. This means
that metal dishes can be used in MicroCombi mode.
Reason
Microwaves do not dam-
age heat-resistant mater-
ial.
The wire rack supplied
has been designed spe-
cifically for the appliance
and is therefore suitable
for microwave use.
You can use metal cut-
lery, e.g. place a spoon in
a glass, to prevent
delayed boiling.
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.
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.

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.
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, the stop the cookware test. The cookware
is not microwave-safe.
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.

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.
