Microwaves
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The energy makes it possible to cook
or warm up a dish without affecting the form or colour.
Cooking principle
• The microwaves the microwave generates are spread evenly by a distribution system.
This cooks the dish evenly.
• The food absorbs the microwaves to a depth of approximately 2.5 cm. Cooking then
continues, because the heat is spread in the dish.
• The cooking times vary and depend on the dish you use and the properties of the food:
▷Quantity and density
▷Moisture content
▷Starting temperature (whether or not it is chilled)
Please note!
The dish is cooked from the inside out by means of heat distribution. The cooking
continues even when you take the dish from the oven. Standing times in recipes should
therefore be adhered to, in order to ensure:
• Even heating into the middle of the dish.
• Equal temperatures in all parts of the dish.
Microwave power setting
Power Use

Guidelines for 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 one if you use the microwave function.
Cookware Microwave
safe Remarks
Aluminium foil 37 Can be used in small quantities to prevent certain parts of
the dish from overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too
close to the oven wall or if too much foil is used.

Please note!
Warning!
• Heating liquids in the microwave can result in delayed boiling. This means that the liquid
may start to boil furiously after it is removed from the microwave, with the risk of scalding.
You can offset the delayed boiling effect by placing a plastic or glass spoon in the liquid
prior to heating it in the microwave.
• Take care with baby food:
▷Shake or stir the content of babies’ bottles or pots of baby food after heating.
▷Check the temperature of the food carefully prior to consumption to prevent
scalding injuries.
• Cutlery and tableware may become hot after using the microwave.
