Microwave
Caution!
■Creation of sparks: 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.
Sparks can irreparably damage the glass on the
inside of the door.
■Combining accessories: Do not combine the wire
rack with the universal pan. Sparks may be created if
they are inserted directly on top of one another. Only
insert them into their own shelf level.
■Microwave only: The universal pan and baking tray
are unsuitable when using the microwave only. If you
use either of these, this may create sparks, which
may damage the cooking compartment. Place
cookware on the wire rack provided, or place it in
the microwave and set a type of heating.
■Foil containers: Do not use foil containers in the
appliance. They damage the appliance by producing
sparks.
■Operating the microwave without food: Operating the
appliance without food in the cooking compartment
may lead to overloading. Never switch on the
microwave unless there is food inside. The short
crockery test is the exception to this rule.

■Microwave popcorn: Never set the microwave output
too high. Use a maximum microwave output of 600
watts. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass
plate. The door panels may crack if overloaded.
