Microwave

Cleaning the cooking compartment and

accessories

To eliminate the new-appliance smell, heat up the

cooking compartment with nothing in it except the

turntable and with the oven door closed.

Make sure that there is no leftover packaging, such as

polystyrene pellets, in the cooking compartment. Before

heating the appliance, wipe the smooth surfaces in the

cooking compartment with a soft, damp cloth. Keep the

kitchen ventilated while the appliance is heating.

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.

Try out the microwave straight away. You could heat up

a cup of water for your tea, for example.

Use a large cup without any decorative gold or silver

trim and place a teaspoon in it. Place the cup

containing the water on the turntable, slightly off-centre.

Press 900 W.

Use the rotary selector to set to 1:30 minutes.

Press the "Start" button.

A signal sounds after 1 minute and 30 seconds. The

water is hot.

Warning – Risk of scalding!

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is

heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling

temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to

the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little,

the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When

heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will

prevent delayed boiling.

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.

Heat the empty cookware at maximum power for ½

to 1 minute.

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.
