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.
