Notes regarding ovenware
Suitable ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass,
glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic.
These materials allow microwaves to pass through.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having to
transfer food from one dish to another. You should only use
ovenware with decorative gold or silver trim if the manufacturer
guarantees that they are suitable for use in microwaves.

Wire rack
For ovenware, cake tins, grilled
food and frozen meals.
You can pull the wire rack two
thirds of the way out without it tip-
ping. This allows dishes to be
removed more easily.
Special accessories

or from specialist retailers.

Hiding the clock
You can hide the clock. You can then only see the clock when
the oven is in operation. For more information, please refer to
the section Changing the basic settings.
Note: In order to reduce the standby energy consumption of
your appliance, you can hide the clock. Read about this in the
Changing basic settings section.
Cleaning accessories
Before using the accessories for the first time, clean them
thoroughly using hot, soapy water and a soft cloth.
Unsuitable ovenware
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow microwaves
to pass through. Food in covered metal containers will remain
cold.
Caution!
Creation of sparks: metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass – must be
kept at least 2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the
door. Sparks could destroy the glass on the inside of the door.
Ovenware test
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside. The
following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your
ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to
1.
1 minute.
Check the temperature occasionally during that time.
2.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
