Microwave
You can use the microwave to cook, heat up or defrost
food quickly. The microwave can be used on its own, or
in combination with a type of heating.
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.
Cookware
Not all cookware is suitable for microwaves. To ensure
that your food is heated and the appliance is not
damaged, only use cookware that is suitable for
microwaves.
Heat-resistant cookware made of glass, glass ceramic,
porcelain or heat-resistant plastic is suitable. These
materials allow microwaves to pass through. You can
also use ceramic if it has been fully glazed and has no
cracks.
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.
To bake in combined operation, you can use ordinary
metal baking tins. This means that the cake is also
browned from below.
Metal dishes are not suitable for other applications.
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 may 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.
1. Heat the empty cookware at maximum power for ½
to 1 minute.
2. 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.
In this case, stop the test.
:Warning – Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when in
operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a
safe distance.
Accessories included
Only the wire rack provided is suitable when using the
microwave only. If you use the universal pan or the
baking tray, this may create sparks, which may damage
the cooking compartment.
When using the appliance in combination with the
microwave or "Dishes" mode, you can use the universal
pan, baking tray or any other accessories that have
been included with the appliance.
When using the microwave, it is best to insert
accessories at level 1, unless otherwise specified.
Microwave power settings
A variety of microwave power settings that are suitable
for different types of food and food preparation are
available.
A cooking time must always be set to operate the
microwave. You can either apply the default cooking
time or adjust it in the relevant menu.
The maximum setting is designed for heating liquids
only; it is not designed for heating food. To protect the
appliance, the maximum power of the microwave is
gradually reduced to 600 W during the first few
minutes. Full power is made available again after a
