Microwave-safe
Cookware and accessor ies | Reason |
---|
Cookware made from heat-resistant, microwave- safe material:
- Glass
- Glass ceramic
- Porcelain

glass, to pre- vent delayed boiling.
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
Not microwave-safe
Cookware and accessor ies | Reason |
---|---|
Metal cookware | Metal does not allow microwaves to pass through. The food |
hardly heats up.
Cookware with gold or silver decoration| Microwaves can damage gold and silver
decoration.
Tip: You can only use this kind of cookware if the manufacturer guarantees that it is microwave-safe.
Testing cookware for microwave suitability
Test cookware to see whether it is suitable for microwave use. Testing cookware is the only time the appliance should be operated in microwave mode without any food inside.

How it works
Here, you can find the ideal settings for various dishes as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have tailored these recommendations to your appliance.
What is the best way to proceed?
In this section, you will find out the best way to proceed step-by-step in order to be able to make optimum use of the recommended settings. You will get information on many meals, with details and tips on how to best use and set your appliance.
Tip
Cooking tips
- The recommended settings always apply to the cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
- The times specified in the overviews are intended as a guide only. They will depend on the quality and composition of the food.
-
Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary cookware from the cooking compartment.
-
Select the desired food from the recommended settings.
-
. Place the food in suitable cookware.
-
Place the cookware in the middle on the cooking compartment floor.
The food will then absorb the microwaves from all sides. -
Use the recommended settings when configuring the appliance settings.
Set the shorter cooking time first. If necessary, increase the cooking time. -
Use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot cookware out of the cooking compartment.
Defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave
Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave.
The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as on the temperature,
composition and quantity of the food. This is why ranges are given in the
tables. Begin with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher setting the
next time. It may be that you have different quantities from those specified
in the tables. There is a rule of thumb for this: Double the amount = almost
double the time, half the amount = half the time.
Defrosting with the microwave
Note:
Cooking tips
- Freeze the food flat.
- Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
- Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
- Turn or stir the food 2–3 times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.
- Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry. When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
- After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.
- Separate any defrosted parts when turning.
- After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 10–60ºminutes

Tips on defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave next time
Follow these tips for good results when defrosting, heating and cooking with
the microwave.
Issue | Tip |
---|---|
Your food is too dry. |
- Reduce the cooking time or select a lower microwave power set- ting.
- Cover the food and add more liquid.
The time has elapsed but the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked.| Increase
the cooking time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer
times.
The time has elapsed but your food is not yet done on the inside, but is
already overdone on the outside.|
- Stir while cooking.
- Reduce the microwave power setting and in- crease the cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not defrosted in the middle.|
- Reduce the microwave power setting.
- Turn large pieces of frozen food several times.
Heating
Heating food in the microwave
Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to heat food.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means
that the liquid reaches the boiling temperature without the usual steam
bubbles rising to the surface. Exercise caution even when only gently shaking
the container. The hot liquid may suddenly boil over and splatter.
- Always place a spoon in the container when heating liquids. This prevents delayed boiling.
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.
Note:
Cooking tips
-
Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can also use a plate or microwave film to cover the dish.
Take ready meals out of the packaging. -
Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
-
Turn or stir the food two or three times during the defrosting time.
-
After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 2– 5ºminutes.
-
The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
