12.2 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 29
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.
