Testing cookware for microwave suitability

If you are unsure whether your cookware is suitable for

use in the microwave, carry out a cookware test.

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.

WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!

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-

ment.

Set the appliance to run for 30 seconds to 1 minute

at maximum power.

Start the operation.

Check the cookware several times:

If the cookware remains cold or warm to the

‒

touch, it is suitable for microwave use.

If the cookware becomes hot or sparks are cre-

‒

ated, stop the cookware test. The cookware is

not microwave-safe.

10.2 Setting options with the microwave

The microwave can be used on its own, or in combina-

tion with a different operating mode.

Microwave-only operation

The electromagnetic waves of the microwave alone

generate energy and this is converted into heat in food,

for example.

Added microwave

Adding the microwave to an operating mode reduces

the cooking time.

You can combine the microwave with the following

functions:
