General notes

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated.

Many factors will affect the overall

cooking time, including the size and

amount of food, its initial temperature,

changes to recipe and the shape and

size of cooking container.

The appliance must be built in

before operation to ensure that no

electrical components are accessible.

Some foods may contain

micro-organisms which are only

destroyed by thorough cooking,

therefore when cooking or re-heating

foods, e.g. poultry it is particularly

important that food is fully cooked

through (at temperatures of over 70°C

for more than 10 minutes). If in doubt,

select a longer cooking or reheating

time.

Installation work and repairs may

only be carried out by suitably

qualified and competent persons in

accordance with local and national

safety regulations. Repairs and other

work by unqualified persons could be

dangerous and the manufacturer will

not be held liable.

the food could lead to corrosion

damage in the oven. This also prevents

the food from drying out.

Do not use the microwave function

to heat up cushions or pads filled

with cherry kernels, wheat grain,

lavender or gel, such as those used in

aromatherapy. These pads can ignite

when heated even after they have been

removed from the appliance.

Try to avoid the interior walls being

splashed with food or liquids

containing salt. If it does happen wipe

these away thoroughly, to avoid

corrosion on stainless steel surfaces.

The glass tray and the combi rack

take a maximum load of 8 kg.

Exceeding this weight limit can cause

them damage.

Exercise caution when cooking or

reheating food with a high sugar

content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If

heated for too long the sugar may

caramelise or ignite.

on a cold surface, such as a tiled or

granite worktop.

The glass tray or container could crack

or shatter and the worktop surface

could get damaged. Place it on a

suitable pot rest or a wire rack.

Never cook or reheat food or

liquids in sealed containers, jars or

bottles.

With baby bottles, the screw top and

teat must be removed. Otherwise

pressure builds up which can cause

the bottle or container to explode

posing a severe risk of injury.

Do not use a steam-cleaning

appliance to clean this appliance.

Pressurised steam could reach the

electrical components and cause a

short circuit.

When heating liquids, the boiling

rod provided should always be

placed into the container.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up the room. Due to the high

temperatures radiated, objects left near

the appliance could catch fire.

When using kitchen appliances

connected to sockets near the

appliance, ensure that the cable cannot

get trapped in a hot oven door, which

could melt the cable insulation and be

dangerous.

Microwave function

Before serving, remember to allow

a sufficient standing time and then

always check the temperature of the

food after taking it out of the oven. The

temperature of the container is not an

indication of the temperature of the

food or liquid in it. When heating food

and drink, remember that the heat is

created in the food itself and that the

container will normally be cooler. The

dish is only warmed by the heat of the

food.

When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,

using microwave heat without the

boiling rod, the boiling point of the

liquid may be reached without the

production of typical bubbles. The

liquid does not boil evenly throughout.

This so-called "boiling delay" can cause

a sudden build up of bubbles when the

container is removed from the oven or

shaken.

This is paricularly important when

preparing food for babies, children,

and the elderly or infirm.

Warning and Safety instructions

This can lead to the liquid boiling over

suddenly and explosively. Danger of

burning.

available from specialist shops.

Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not

be reheated using microwave heat as

this may lead to the eggs exploding,

even after they have been taken out of

the oven.

The formation of bubbles can be so

strong that the pressure forces the oven

door open. The user could be injured

and the appliance damaged.

The boiling rod ensures that the liquid

boils evenly and that bubbles form at

an early stage during the operation.

Eggs can be cooked without their

shells using microwave heat only if

the yolk membrane has been

punctured several times first.

The pressure could otherwise cause

the egg yolk to explode.

Do not use any containers or

cutlery made from or containing

metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal

glassware, temperature-sensitive

plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery,

metal clips or wire ties. Do not use

bowls with milled rims, or cream pots

Danger of injury.

Do not reheat food in the oven in

which reflects microwaves. This

reflected energy can, in turn, cause the

outer paper covering to become so hot

that it ignites.

The combi rack supplied with the

appliance must be used with the

glass tray. It is designed to be

compatible with microwaves and can

therefore be used with the microwave

function. Do not place it on the oven

floor.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such

as tomatoes, sausages, jacket

potatoes and aubergines, should be

pierced or cut in several places to allow

steam to escape and prevent the food

from bursting.

N.B. It gets hot when using the

microwave function. Danger of burning.

Ovenproof earthenware can retain

a considerable amount of moisture.

Earthenware and porcelain containers

with hollow handles and lid knobs must

only be used with the microwave

function if they have vent holes, which

allow the moisture to escape. Without

vent holes there can be a pressure

build-up, causing the container to crack

or shatter, with the danger of injury.

Do not leave the oven unattended

when reheating or cooking food in

disposable containers made of plastic,

paper or other inflammable materials.

Before using single use containers

make sure they are suitable for use in

microwave ovens. See appropriate

section.

Eggs can only be cooked in their

shells using microwave heat in a

specially designed egg-boiling device

interrupt the cooking process.

Then use a thermometer specifically

approved for food use to measure the

temperature of the food. Never use a

thermometer containing mercury or

liquid, as these are not suitable for use

with very high temperatures and will

break very easily.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before disposing of your old

appliance, first make it unusable.

Cut off the cable and render any plug

unusable. Appliances which have been

built-in should be disconnected from

the mains supply by a qualified person.

This will prevent the appliance from

being misused.

Caution. Danger of burning.

When the oven is being used as a

traditional oven it can get very hot.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

Great care should be taken to

ensure that small children do not

touch the oven when it is being used.

External parts of the oven such as the

door glass, vents, handle and fascia

panel can become quite hot. Danger of

burning!

Wear oven gloves when placing

food in the oven, turning it or

removing it. When the Grill is being

used, either solo or in a combination

programme, the element becomes very

hot and there is a danger of burning.

Wait until the grill element has

cooled down before lowering it for

cleaning. Danger of burning! Do not

use force to lower it as this can cause it

to break.

Operating modes

Microwave function

will affect the speed at which it is

cooked.

Microwave cooking offers the benefits

of speed, convenience and nutritional

As heat is produced directly in the

advantages when food does not require food,

browning or crisping.

– food can generally be cooked

without adding much liquid or

cooking oil

How does the microwave oven

function?

– cooking, reheating and defrosting in

a microwave oven is quicker than

using conventional methods.

In a microwave oven there is a

high-frequency tube called a

magnetron. This converts electrical

energy into microwaves. These

microwaves are distributed evenly

throughout the oven interior and

rebound off the metal sides of the oven

interior to reach the food from all sides.

– nutrients, such as vitamins and

minerals, are generally retained

– colour, texture and taste of food are

not impaired.

Microwaves stop being produced as

soon as the cooking process is

interrupted or the appliance door is

opened.

When the appliance is in operation, the

closed, sealed door prevents

microwaves escaping from the

appliance.

In order for microwaves to reach the

food, they must be able to penetrate

the cooking utensil being used.

Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,

glass, cardboard and plastics but not

metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils

made of metal, or which contain metal,

for example in the form of gold or silver

trim. The metal reflects the microwaves

and this could lead to the creation of

sparks. The microwaves cannot be

absorbed.

Microwaves pass through a suitable

container and find their way directly into

the food.

All food contains moisture molecules

which, when subjected to microwave

energy, start to oscillate 2.5 thousand

million times a second. The friction

caused by this vibration creates heat,

which first starts developing around the

outside of the food and then slowly

penetrates towards the centre. The

moisture, fat and sugar content of food

food to be reheated and cooked

quickly with even browning results.

These cook and brown the food.

Combining microwave power with Fan

plus ensures that heat reaches food

being roasted or baked very quickly.

This helps reduce cooking durations

and keeps energy consumption to a

minimum.

Fan plus Y

This system works by the circulation of

heated air.

A fan in the back wall draws in the air,

heats it over a ring element and blows it

back into the oven cavity through the

carefully spaced openings in the back

panel.

In general when using the combination

programmes, you should not set the

microwave power level higher than 150

W for baking, and not higher than 300

W for cooking, roasting and grilling.

The oven does not usually need to be

pre-heated as the heated air reaches

the food straight away. Pre-heating may

be necessary for foods such as puff

pastry and yeast mixtures where instant

heat is required to make them rise

quickly.

When using Fan plus, you can bake

and roast on two different levels at the

same time.

Because the fan circulates the heated

air throughout the oven, lower

temperatures can be used than with

Conventional heating.

Grill n

The grill is ready for use when it glows

red a few minutes after being switched

on. Pre-heat with the oven door closed

for approx. 5 minutes before starting to

cook. Grill with the oven door closed.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

When using microwave power you

should always place the food / dish

centrally on the glass tray and slide

the tray into the first shelf level from

the bottom. Placing the dish on the

floor of the oven will give

unsatisfactory and uneven results.

Material and shape

– are reflected by metal,

The material and shape of containers

used affect cooking results and times.

Heat distribution is more even in round

and oval shaped flat containers than in

rectangular containers, providing better

results.

Metal

Metal containers, aluminium foil and

metal cutlery, or china with metallic

decoration such as gold rims or

cobalt blue must not be used in

microwave mode.

– pass through glass, porcelain,

plastic and card,

The metal reflects the microwaves,

hindering the cooking process.

– and are absorbed by food.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Exceptions:

Glassware

– If recommended by the producer,

pre-cooked meals in aluminium foil

containers can be defrosted and

reheated in the appliance using

microwave power. Important:

Remove the lid first.

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass

are ideal for use in the microwave oven.

Crystal glass contains lead which

could cause the glass to crack.

Glass dishes with a milled rim are

subject to the same risk. Both are

unsuitable.

However, as food is only heated from

the top it is better to remove the food

from the aluminium foil container and

transfer it to a dish suitable for a

microwave oven. The heat

distribution will be more even.

Do not place aluminium foil

containers on the metal rack as this

can cause arcing to occur and

damage the oven.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a suitable material.

Do not use porcelain with gold or

silver edging or items with hollow

knobs or handles, as insufficient

ventilation may cause pressure.

– For even defrosting and to avoid

overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of Earthenware

meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of

Decorated earthenware is only suitable

if the decoration is beneath an all-over

glaze.

aluminium foil may be used to mask

wing-tips or other thin parts for the

last few minutes of the process.

Earthenware can get very hot, and

may crack.

Make sure that the aluminium foil is

at least 2 cm from the oven walls at

all times. It must not touch the walls.

Glazes and colours

– Metal meat skewers or clamps

should only be used if they are very

small in comparison to the size of the

cut of meat.

Some glazes and colours contain

metals which make them unsuitable

for use in a microwave oven.

The combi rack supplied with the

appliance is suitable for use with

microwave power. However it must not

be placed on the oven floor.

The rack can get hot.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Plastics

There is a danger that they will ignite

when heated.

Plastics must only be used with

Microwave-Solo. They must be

heat-resistant to a minimum of

110 °C. Otherwise the plastic may

melt and fuse with the food.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable.

Moisture contained in the wood

evaporates when exposed to

microwave energy, causing the wood to

dry and crack.

Special plastic utensils designed for

use in microwave ovens are available

from good retail outlets. When

purchasing plasticware, make sure that

it is suitable for use in a microwave

oven.

Disposable containers

Only those plastic disposable

containers which are specified by the

manufacturer as suitable for use in a

microwave oven may be used.

Melamine is not suitable for use in this

oven. Melamine absorbs microwave

energy and gets hot.

Do not leave the oven unattended

when reheating or cooking food in

disposable containers made of

plastic, paper or other inflammable

materials.

Disposable containers, such as trays

made from polystyrene, can only be

used for very short timed warming and

reheating of food.

Plastic boiling bags can be used for

cooking and reheating.

Disposable containers are not always

recyclable or bio-degradable.

They should be pierced beforehand so

that steam can escape. This prevents a

build-up of pressure and reduces the

risk of the bag bursting.

Roasting bags and tubes

Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm

longer and roasting bags about 20 cm

longer than the food being roasted, and

carefully tied with string. Turn the ends

over and secure them. The bag should

be pierced according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

Do not use metal clips, plastic clips

containing metal parts or paper ties

containing wire.

Testing dishes for their

suitability

The h symbol will flash in the display

to tell you to start the process.

If in doubt as to whether glass,

earthenware or porcelain plates or

dishes are suitable for use in a

microwave oven, a simple test can be

performed:

^ Place the container centrally on the

glass tray and slide into the lowest

shelf level.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

A cover

Sealed glass containers, such as

– prevents too much steam escaping,

especially when cooking foods which

need longer to cook, such as

potatoes.

jars of baby food must be opened

before they are placed in the oven.

Do not attempt to heat them up

unopened.

– speeds up the cooking process.

– prevents food from drying out.

– prevents any loss of aroma.

Do not use a cover if

– food coated with breadcrumbs is

being cooked.

– helps keep the oven interior clean.

– cooking meals which are to be given

a crisp finish.

Always use lids or covers made of

microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use

a clingfilm recommended for use in a

microwave oven, (pierce as instructed

by the manufacturer).

– using a combination programme.

The cover supplied may only be

used in microwave-solo operation.

The cover can only withstand

temperatures of up to 110 °C.

Higher temperatures generated by

grilling or fan heat could cause the

plastic to distort and fuse with the

food.

Unsuitable clingfilm can melt into the

food.

Operation

Controls

Temperature selection

Always use a lid or cover for reheating

food, except when a drier finish is

needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.

Allow food to stand for a few minutes at

room temperature once a programme

has ended to allow the heat to be

distributed evenly.

Always remove the lids from jars,

e.g. jars of baby food.

Remove the rubber teat and screw

cap before warming baby bottles.

When reheating liquids, place the

boiling rod supplied with the

appliance into the cup or glass.

Never reheat hard boiled eggs using

microwave power, even without the

shell. The eggs can explode.

After reheating food, especially food

for babies and small children, stir

the food or shake the container and

check that the temperature does not

pose any danger. Double check

Cooking

Microwave, traditional and combination Microwave h

programmes are all suitable for

cooking.

Place the food in a microwave-safe dish

and cover it.

Microwave

Place the dish on the glass tray and

slide into the lowest shelf level.

This method is suitable for cooking

casseroles as well as dishes with pasta,

rice and semolina etc. which need

water to help them swell up.

First select 850 W to bring the food up

to a boil and then turn the power level

down to 450 W to continue cooking or

to 150 W for simmering.

Add a little water to vegetables which

have been kept stored. Vegetable

cooking times depend on the texture of

the vegetable. Fresh vegetables

contain more water than vegetables

which have been stored and usually

cook more quickly.

Fan plus

This method is recommended for

cooking and steaming food such as

potatoes and vegetables.

Food taken straight from the refrigerator

requires longer to reheat than food

stored at room temperature.

tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes

and aubergines, should be pierced or

cut in several places to allow steam to

escape and prevent the food from

bursting.

Microwave + Grill

This method is good for cooking food

which needs a well cooked top or

browned finished to it, such as

macaroni cheese or pasta tuna bake.

Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should

not be cooked using microwave

power as this may lead to the eggs

exploding, even after they have

been taken out of the oven. Eggs

can, however, be cooked using

microwave heat if you have

purchased special containers

designed for this purpose.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells

using microwave power only if the yolk

membrane has been punctured several

times first. The pressure could

otherwise cause the egg yolk to

explode.

Defrosting and Reheating / Cooking

For simultaneous defrosting and

reheating or cooking the following

functions are suitable:

Combination programme

Microwave + Grill hn is suitable for

cooking and then browning the top of

ready made meals. Select a microwave

power level of 450 watts. The grill

temperature is automatically set and

cannot be changed.

– Microwave h

– Microwave + Grill h n

Microwave is suitable for defrosting

and then reheating or cooking deep

frozen ready made meals which you do

not wish to brown.

Put the ready made meal in a heat

resistant, microwave-proof dish, and

place on the glass tray. Slide the glass

tray into the second shelf level. Do not

cover.

Microwave + Grill is suitable for ready

made meals which also need to be

browned.

Ready made meals in aluminium dishes

must be placed directly on to the glass

tray.

Microwave h

Deep frozen ready made meals can be

defrosted and then reheated or cooked.

Please follow instructions given on the

packet.

If this does not brown the food as much

as you would like, next time put the dish

on the rack, and slide this together with

the glass tray into the first level from the

bottom.

Remove the food from its packaging

and place in a covered microwave-safe

dish for defrosting and reheating or

cooking. Soups, stew and vegetables

should be stirred several times during

the process. Carefully separate and

turn slices of meat halfway through the

programme. Turn pieces of fish at the

halfway stage.

Deep-frozen ready made meals in card

trays which, according to

manufacturer's instructions, are suitable

for use in a normal oven, are normally

also microwave-safe.

Grilling

The following grill settings are suitable

for browning food:

Place the rack on the glass tray and

slide into the second or third shelf level

from the bottom, depending on the type

of food you are grilling.

– Grill n

– Microwave + Grill h n,

The rack can be used either way up to

achieve the best distance from the grill

element.

Grill n is suitable for flat items which

require a crisp finish or browning.

Most items should be turned half way

through cooking.

With Microwave + Grill h n, the

microwave power output is limited to

450 W.

Test to see if cooked

Preparing food for grilling

One way of finding out how far through

a piece of meat has been cooked is to

press down on it with a spoon:

Meat should be rinsed under fresh

running water and then patted dry.

Do not season with salt before grilling,

as the salt will draw the meat juices out.

Lean meat can be brushed with a little

oil if necessary. Do not use other types

of fat as they can get too dark, burn

and cause smoke. A little butter can be

added to chicken if desired.

Clean flat fish and slices of fish in the

normal way. To enhance the taste add a

little salt or squeeze a little lemon juice

over the fish.

– If there is very little resistance to the

pressure of the spoon, it is still red on

the inside ("rare").

– If there is some resistance the inside

will be pink ("medium").

– If there is great resistance, it is

throughly cooked through ("well

done").

Grilling

The grill temperature cannot be altered,

the grill is either on or off.

Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes

with the oven door shut before grilling.

Do not engage microwave power

during the pre-heating phase.

Brush the rack with oil and place the

prepared food on the rack.

It is best to grill food of a similar

thickness at the same time so that the

grilling time for each item does not vary

too greatly.

doughs which require longer baking,

such as rubbed in and beaten mixtures,

yeast recipes and cheesecake.

Fan plus Y

Slide the glass tray into the 1st shelf

level from the bottom, and place the

baking container on it.

For preference use ovenproof glass or

ceramic baking dishes, as microwaves

can penetrate these materials into the

food being cooked. Metal tins would

reflect microwaves so that they would

only reach the cakes from the top,

resulting in a longer cooking time.

Cake tins should be placed on the first

shelf level from the bottom. Place the

rack with the raised section facing

upwards in the glass tray. This ensures

sufficient air circulation all around the

tin.

Metal baking tins can also cause

sparking. Place the tin on the glass tray,

and make sure it does not touch the

interior walls.

When baking flat items such as biscuits

you should select the second shelf level

from the bottom to ensure even

browning results.

When baking on two levels at the same

time you should select the second and

third levels from the bottom.

If sparking continues, do not use this tin

again in microwave combination mode.

Most types of heat-resistant tins or

dishes are suitable. Thin-walled and

bright, non-reflective metal tins can be

Tips on baking

Temperature settings, times and

microwave power settings in the

Baking Chart are suggestions only.

Select an average temperature and

time for first attempts and adapt

accordingly.

– always select the lowest temperature

given in the recipe/cooking

instructions on the packaging.

Do not set a temperature higher than

that recommended. Increasing the

temperature may reduce the cooking

time, but will lead to uneven

browning, and unsatisfactory

cooking results.

Place cakes in rectangular tins with

the longer side across the width of the

oven for optimum heat distribution and

even results.

– Check if the food is cooked at the

end of the shortest time quoted.

To check if a cake is ready, insert a

wooden skewer into the centre.

It is ready if the skewer comes out

clean, without dough or crumbs

sticking to it.

– Place chips, croquettes and similar

types of food on baking parchment.

Cleaning and care

Appliance front and control

panel

Clean the door handle and the control

elements regularly, preferably after

each use.

This will help prevent grease and other

deposits adhering to surfaces and

becoming difficult to remove.

^ All surfaces and controls should be

cleaned using warm water with a little

washing up liquid applied with a soft

sponge or cloth.

^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft

cloth.

Aluminium fronted appliances

Aluminium is affected by the way that

light falls on it, by the surrounding

environment and by the angle you

observe it from.

E-cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from

the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,

which is suitable for cleaning surfaces

such as stainless steel, glass, plastic

and chrome without the use of

chemicals.

Aluminium surfaces and controls

may suffer discolouration or damage

if soiling is left on them for too long.

Remove any soiling straight away.

To prevent the risk of scratches and

damage to the surface structure of

glass, stainless steel and aluminium

fronted appliances pay particular

attention to the following cleaning

instructions.

The appliance front and controls are

susceptible to scratches and

abrasions.

Avoid:

– cleaning agents containing soda,

acids or chlorides,

unnecessarily difficult, and in

extreme cases impossible.

Turn the function selector to the Light

H / v setting.

Cleaning and care

Clean the oven interior using a solution

of hot water and washing up liquid or

mild detergent applied with a sponge,

soft brush or damp cloth. Wipe dry with

a soft cloth.

To neutralise odours in the oven, put a

cup of water with some lemon juice in

the oven and simmer for a few minutes.

Residues of fruit juices as well as cake

mixtures are best removed while the

oven is warm.

For more heavy soiling, heat a glass of

water for 2 to 3 minutes until the water

begins to boil. The steam will collect on

the walls and soften the soiling. The

oven interior can now be wiped clean

using a little washing-up liquid if

necessary.

Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting

discolouration to the surfaces.

Oven interior roof

If the oven interior roof is badly soiled,

the grill element can be lowered to

make cleaning easier.

If food has burnt on, use a mild

non-abrasive cleaner or a proprietary

cleaner for stainless steel, applied with

a non-scouring kitchen sponge.

Wait until the grill element has

cooled down before lowering it to

avoid the danger of being burnt.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents

as the material is susceptible to

scratching.

If using an oven spray, the

manufacturer's instructions must be

followed. Do not spray into any of

the openings.

Do not use too much water on the cloth

or sponge and do not let water or any

other substance find its way into any

openings.

^ To lower the grill element loosen and

then remove the nut.

^ Check whether,

When cooked by microwaves, food

begins to cook from the outside first,

the inside of the food relying on the

slower conduction of heat.

– after interrupting a cooking process

using microwave power that you

remembered to restart the

programme,

If food is cooked at a high power level it

is possible that the heat may not have

reached the centre of the food. Food

may be warm in the middle but cool on

the edge. When reheating food with

different densities, such as plated

meals, it is sensible to start with a low

power level and lengthen the time

required.

– if cooking / reheating in microwave

selected for the setting chosen.

The lower the power level the longer

the duration.

. . . cakes or biscuits are not cooked

^ Check whether,

– the correct temperature was set.

– there were any alterations to the

recipe. The addition of more liquid or

more eggs makes a moister mix

which would take longer to cook.

. . . cakes or biscuits are unevenly

browned

There will always be a slight

unevenness.

^ If browning is very uneven, check

– whether the temperature was set too

high,
