Testing dishes
The microwave function can be used

for this test.
To check whether the cookware is suitable for
use with microwave cooking, carry out this
simple test:
1. Remove all accessories from the oven
cavity.
2. Place the cookware to be tested on the rack
inserted in the first shelf.
3. Select the microwave function at maximum
power level (e.g. 1000 W).

4. Set a cooking time of 30 seconds.
5. Start cooking.
Unsuitable cookware
Risk of damage to the appliance
• Stop the test immediately if there is a
cracking sound or if sparks are emitted from
the cookware. If this happens, it means that
the cookware is not suitable for microwave
cooking.
At the end of the test the cookware must be
either cold or slightly warm. If the cookware is
hot then it should be considered as unsuitable
for microwave use.
Using the accessories
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the side
guides until they come to a complete stop.
• The mechanical safety locks that prevent the
rack from being removed accidentally must
face downwards and towards the back of
the oven cavity.
Gently insert racks and trays into the
oven until they come to a stop.
Clean the trays before using them for
the first time to remove any residues left
by the manufacturing process.
Tray rack
The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray. In
this way fat can be collected separately from
the food which is being cooked.
