The microwave is used for: • the microwave function. • the combi functions. Cooking principle 1. The microwaves generated by the microwave are spread evenly by a distribution system. This cooks the dish evenly. 2. The food absorbs the microwaves to a depth of approximately 2.5 cm. Cooking then continues, because the heat is spread in the dish.

Guidelines for microwave cookware Cookware that you use for the microwave function should not block the microwaves. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper reflect microwaves. For that reason, do not use metal cookware. Cookware which is designated as microwave-safe can be used safely. For more information about suitable cookware, consult the following guidelines and always use the glass baking tray on level 1 if you use the microwave function.
Cookware Microwave safe Remarks Plastic Especially heat-resistant thermoplastic material. Other types of plastic can warp or discolour at high temperatures. Do not use melamine plastic. Can be used to hold moisture. May not touch the food. Be careful when you remove the fi lm; hot steam can escape. Only if boil-proof or ovenproof.
