8.2 Microwave-safe cookware and

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-

Defrosting delicate foods.
Defrosting food and continued cooking.
Cooking meat and fish or heating delicate foods.
Heating and cooking food.
Heating liquids.
The maximum power setting is not designed for heating food.
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.

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.
Microwave en
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.
