Choosing the Accessories

Traditional convection cooking does require cookware. You should, however, use only cookware that you would use in your normal oven.

Microwave-safe containers are not usually suitable for convection cooking; don’t use plastic containers, dishes, paper cups, towels, etc.

If you wish to select a combined cooking mode (microwave and grill or convection), use only recipients that are microwave-safe and oven-proof. Metallic cookware or utensils may damage your oven.

For further details on suitable cookware and utensils, refer to the Cookware Guide on page 27.

Combining Microwaves and the Grill

You can also combine microwave cooking with the grill, to cook quickly and brown at the same time.

ALWAYS use microwave-safe and oven-proof cookware. Glass or ceramic dishes are ideal as they allow the microwaves to penetrate the food evenly.

ALWAYS use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven, as they will be very hot.

You can improve cooking and grilling, if you use the high rack.

Open the door. Place the food on the rack best suited to the type of food to be cooked. Place the rack on the turntable. Close the door.
