Choosing the accessories

Use microwave-safe recipients; do not use plastic

containers, dishes, paper cups, towels, etc.

If you wish to select the combined cooking mode (grill and microwave), use only dishes 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 19.

Cookware guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
