Microwave
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 can irreparably damage the glass on the
inside of the door.
Combining accessories: Do not combine the wire
■
rack with the universal pan. Sparks may be created if
they are inserted directly on top of one another. Only
insert them into their own shelf level.
Microwave only: The universal pan and baking tray
■
are unsuitable when using the microwave only. If you
use either of these, this may create sparks, which
may damage the cooking compartment. Place
cookware on the wire rack provided, or place it in
the microwave and set a type of heating.
Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
■
appliance. They damage the appliance by producing
sparks.
Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
■
appliance without food in the cooking compartment
may lead to overloading. Never switch on the
microwave unless there is food inside. The short
crockery test is the exception to this rule.

Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave output
■
too high. Use a maximum microwave output of 600
watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass
plate. The door panels may jump if overloaded.

Here you can find tips on how to save even more
energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose
of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the
■
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
Leave frozen food to defrost before placing it in the
■
cooking compartment.
Use baking tins that are dark-coloured, painted black
■
or have an enamel coating. These absorb the heat
particularly well.
Remove any unnecessary accessories from the
■
cooking compartment.
