Guidelines for microwave 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 1 if you use the
microwave function.
