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.

The accessible parts of the appliance become hot dur-
ing operation.
Never touch these hot parts.

4.
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.
11.2 Setting options with the microwave
You can use the microwave 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.
To prevent condensation, when the microwave output
is 600 watts and "Boost", the appliance automatically
switches on a heating element. The cooking compart-
ment and the accessories become hot. The cooking
result is not affected by this.
You can switch off this automatic drying function in the
basic settings.
→ "Basic settings", Page 24
WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
At the highest settings in microwave only mode, the
drying function will automatically switch on an addi-
tional heating element to heat the cooking compart-
ment.
Never touch the inside surfaces of the cooking com-
▶
partment or the heating elements while they are hot.
Keep children at a safe distance.
▶
Added microwave
Adding the microwave to an operating mode reduces
the cooking time.
You can combine the microwave with the following
functions:
