6.2 Microwave-safe cookware and
accessories
To heat food evenly and avoid damaging your appli-
ance, it is important to use the right cookware and ac-
cessories.
Note: Read the manufacturer's instructions before us-
ing any cookware in the microwave. If in doubt, carry
out a cookware test.

ies

heat-resistant, microwave-
safe material:

ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment
will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or
the inner door pane.
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.

6.3 Testing cookware for microwave
suitability
Test cookware to see whether it is suitable for mi-
crowave use. Testing cookware is the only time the ap-
pliance should be operated in microwave mode without
any food inside.
Reason
These materials allow mi-
crowaves to pass
through. Microwaves do
not damage heat-resistant
cookware.
Note: You can use metal
cutlery, e.g. place a
spoon in a glass, to pre-
vent delayed boiling.
Reason
Metal does not allow mi-
crowaves to pass
through. The food hardly
heats up.
Microwaves can damage
gold and silver decora-
tion.
Tip: You can only use this
kind of cookware if the
manufacturer guarantees
that it is microwave-safe.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
The accessible parts of the appliance become hot dur-
ing operation.
