USING THE MICROWAVE FUNCTION
Guidelines for microwave cookware
Cookware that you use for the microwave setting may 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
ceramic baking tray on level 1 if you use the microwave setting.
