Guide to the appliance

Accessories supplied

Cover

The cover supplied must only be used

in the Microwave Solo mode.

Grilling rack

The grilling rack can be used for all

functions with and without

microwave power, except for

Microwave Solo mode.

It prevents the food from drying out and

the oven from becoming dirty, and it

accelerates the heating process.

Boiling rod

To avoid the grilling rack being used

inadvertently on Microwave Solo, it

should not be kept inside the

microwave oven.

When heating liquids, the boiling rod

provided should always be placed in

the container. It helps liquids to heat

evenly.

Glass tray

The glass tray is suitable for use with all

cooking functions.

When grilling directly on the rack, the

glass tray should be placed underneath

the rack to catch any fat or juices.

Gourmet plate

The gourmet plate is a round, non-stick

grilling plate. It can be used to heat

snacks or small meals quickly whilst

maintaining crispness.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of it

with your household waste.

The transport and protective packaging

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and should be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,

bags, etc are disposed of safely and

kept out of the reach of babies and

young children. Danger of suffocation.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection / recycling

centre or contact your dealer for

advice. Ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

controls.

Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. cling film,

polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept out of

the reach of babies and children. Dispose of or recycle

all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Danger of burning. Children's skin is far more

sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. When

grilling with or without the microwave function, the oven

interior, the grill element and the oven door get hot.

Great care should be taken to ensure that children do

not touch the appliance when it is in use.

Technical safety

Check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do

not use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous.

If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only

be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to

protect the user from danger.

Warning and Safety instructions

Operating a damaged appliance can result in

microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user.

Do not use the appliance if

– the door is warped.

– the door hinges are loose.

– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or

the oven interior walls.

Do not open the casing of the appliance. Tampering

with electrical connections or components and

mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and

can cause operational faults.

To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make

sure that the connection data (fuse rating, frequency

and voltage) on the data plate corresponds to the

household supply before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply. Consult a qualified electrician if in

any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity

supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead.

These do not guarantee the required safety of the

appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Warning and Safety instructions

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be

guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is most important

that this basic safety requirement is observed and

regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the

household wiring system should be inspected by a

qualified electrician.

To ensure adequate ventilation, a minimum gap of

5 cm is required between the appliance and any

neighbouring furniture or walls. There must be a

minimum gap of 19.5 cm between the top of the

appliance and anything above it

Repairs may only be carried out by a suitably

qualified and competent person in strict accordance

with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and

other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs

should only be undertaken by a service technician

authorised by Miele. Otherwise the guarantee is

invalidated.

The appliance must be disconnected from the mains

electricity supply during repair work, cleaning or

maintenance.

Warning and Safety instructions

The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of

the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine

Miele original spare parts.

If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture

door, it may only be used with the furniture door open.

Do not close the furniture door while the appliance is in

use.

The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary

location (e.g. on a ship).

In areas which may be subject to infestation by

cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to

keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean

condition at all times. Any damage which may be

caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the guarantee.

Correct use

,^{Danger of burning. The microwave oven gets hot}

during grilling (with and without the microwave

function). You could burn yourself on the oven

interior, grill element, hot food, accessories and oven

door. Use oven gloves when working with hot food in

the oven or placing food in or removing it from the hot

oven.

Warning and Safety instructions

Always ensure that food is sufficiently heated.

Many factors will affect the overall cooking time,

including the size and amount of food, its initial

temperature, changes to the recipe, and the shape and

size of the cooking container.

Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are

only destroyed by thorough cooking. Therefore, when

cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is

particularly important that food is fully cooked through

(at temperatures over 70°C for more than 10 minutes).

If in doubt select a longer cooking or reheating time.

It is important that the heat is allowed to spread

evenly throughout the food being cooked. This can be

achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and

observing a sufficiently long standing time, which

should be added to the time needed for cooking,

reheating or defrosting.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Always remember that times for cooking, reheating

and defrosting in a microwave oven are usually

considerably shorter than with traditional methods of

food preparation.

Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying

out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire.

Do not dry breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., in the

microwave oven as these could catch fire.

Do not use the microwave function to heat up

cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat

grains, lavender or gel, such as those used in

aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated

even after they have been removed from the

microwave oven.

The microwave oven is not suitable for cleaning or

disinfecting items.

Items can get extremely hot, and there is a danger of

burning when the item is removed from the appliance.

Fire hazard.

The appliance can be damaged if it is used without

food being placed in it or if it is incorrectly loaded.

Therefore do not use the appliance to warm empty

dishes or to dry herbs.

Warning and Safety instructions

Always ensure that food has been placed in the

microwave oven and that the turntable is in position

before switching on.

Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed

containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw

top and teat must be loosened. Otherwise pressure

builds up which can cause the bottle or container to

explode, posing a severe risk of injury.

Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient

standing time and then always check the temperature

of the food after taking it out of the microwave oven.

The temperature of the container is not an indication of

the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is

particularly important when preparing food for

babies, children, and the elderly or infirm. Shake or

stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try

it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the

baby. When heating food and drinks, 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

When reheating liquids, place the boiling rod

supplied into the cup or glass.

When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc, using

microwave power 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 microwave oven or

shaken, which can lead to the liquid boiling over

suddenly and explosively. Danger of scalding and

burning.

The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the

pressure forces the microwave oven door open, with a

danger of injury and damage.

Warning and Safety instructions

To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the door if

smoke occurs inside the microwave oven.

Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off

and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do

not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.

Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave

the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat.

Do not use the appliance to fry food. If oil or fat does

catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with

water. Disconnect the appliance from the mains

electricity supply and use a suitable fire blanket,

saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the

flames.

Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left

near the microwave oven when it is in use could catch

fire. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room.

If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that

high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise

and even to ignite on hot surfaces. Do not heat

undiluted alcohol in the appliance. Fire hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use the appliance to heat up tins. Pressure

can build up and they may explode.

Cover any food which is left in the microwave oven to

be kept hot, as moisture in the food could lead to

corrosion damage in the appliance and could also

damage the control panel, worktop and surrounding

kitchen furniture. Covering the food also prevents it

from drying out.

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 the

stainless steel surface.

The oven interior can get hot during use. Danger of

burning. Clean the oven and any accessories as soon

as they have cooled down. Waiting too long can make

cleaning unnecessarily difficult and in some cases

impossible. In certain circumstances, very heavy

soiling can damage the appliance and even be

dangerous. Fire hazard! Please follow the instructions

on cleaning in "Cleaning and care".

Warning and Safety instructions

Fire hazard. Using microwave power with plastic

dishes which are not microwave-safe can cause them

to melt and damage the appliance.

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 plastic or paper

covered wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or

plastic pots with the foil lid only partially removed (see

"Suitable containers for microwave ovens"). Such items

could be damaged or cause a fire hazard.

Do not leave the microwave 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 "Suitable

containers for microwave ovens".

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags

intended for normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags

usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which

reflects microwaves.This reflected energy can, in turn,

cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that

it ignites.

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.

Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in the

microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling

device available from specialist shops. Hard-boiled

eggs should not be reheated in the microwave oven as

this may lead to the eggs bursting even after they have

been taken out of the appliance.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes,

sausages, jacket potatoes and aubergines, should be

pierced or the skin cut in several places before cooking

to allow steam to escape and prevent food from

bursting.

Warning and Safety instructions

Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable

for use with microwave power. Moisture which has

gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to

build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess

is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used.

However, we recommend that you do not use such

dishes in the microwave oven.

To check the temperature of the food, first interrupt

the cooking process. Only use a thermometer

specifically approved for food use to measure the

temperature of the food. Do not use a thermometer

containing mercury or liquid, as these are not suitable

for use with very high temperatures and break very

easily.

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean the

microwave oven. The steam could attack electrical

components and cause a short circuit.

Stainless steel surfaces

The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even

magnets can cause scratching.

Accessories

Only use genuine original Miele replacement parts.

Using spare parts or accessories from other

manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele

cannot accept liability.

Warning and Safety instructions

The rack and gourmet plate supplied are designed

for use with microwave power and so can be used for

grilling with or without the microwave function.

They must not be used at the same time as this would

damage the gourmet plate. Always place the gourmet

plate directly on the turntable.

The gourmet plate gets extremely hot when in use.

Always use oven gloves when handling it to avoid

burns. Place the hot gourmet plate on a suitable

heat-resistant mat or pot rest. The rack gets hot during

grilling (with and without the microwave function).

Danger of burning.

Do not use the cover with the gourmet plate, as the

cover will get too hot.

Do not place the hot glass tray (or any other hot

cooking containers) on a cold surface, such as a tiled

or granite worktop. The glass tray or container could

crack or shatter. Use a suitable heat-resistant mat or

pot rest.

Optional accessories:

If your microwave oven is built in with a lift-up door,

do not bring the door down into the closed position

when the oven is in operation.

How the microwave oven works

In a microwave oven there is a

high-frequency tube called a

– cooking, reheating and defrosting in

a microwave oven is quicker than

using conventional methods.

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.

Microwave distribution is improved with

the turntable engaged.

– nutrients, such as vitamins and

minerals, are generally retained.

– the 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.

In order for microwaves to reach the

food, they must be able to penetrate

the cooking utensil being used.

When the appliance is in operation, the

closed, sealed door prevents

microwaves escaping from the

appliance.

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 will affect the speed at which it is

cooked.

As heat is produced directly in the

food,

– food can generally be cooked

without adding much liquid or

cooking oil.

Modes of operation

What can a microwave oven

do?

In what ways can a microwave

oven be used?

In the microwave oven, food can be

cooked, reheated or defrosted quickly.

Microwave Solo mode

Suitable for defrosting, reheating and

cooking.

You can use the microwave in the

following ways:

– Food can be defrosted, reheated or

cooked by entering a power setting

and a duration.

Grill

Ideal for grilling very thin cuts of meat,

e.g. bacon.

– Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can

be defrosted and then reheated or

cooked.

Combination mode

(Microwave + Grill)

– The microwave oven can also be

used for other tasks, e.g. for proving

dough, melting chocolate and butter,

dissolving gelatine etc.

Ideal for browning dishes with

toppings. The microwave cooks the

food, and the grill browns it.

Automatic programmes

You can choose from the following

Automatic programmes:

– Five defrosting programmes

(N: Ad 1 to Ad 5),

– Four cooking programmes for frozen

food

(N °: AC 1 to AC 4)

– and eight cooking programmes for

fresh food

(°: AC 1 to AC 8).

These programmes are weight

dependent. You enter the weight of the

food and then the cooking duration is

calculated automatically.

The weight of the food can be

displayed as metric (g) or imperial (lb).

See "Changing the settings"

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

Containers and lids with hollow

handles or knobs in which moisture

can collect are unsuitable, unless

the hollowed handles are

adequately vented.

Without vent holes, pressure can

build up, causing the container to

crack or shatter with the danger of

injury.

– are reflected by metal,

Metal

Metal containers, aluminium foil,

metal cutlery, and china with

metallic decoration such as gold

rims or cobalt blue must not be used

on microwave mode.

Metal reflects microwaves and

obstructs the cooking process.

Also, avoid using plastic pots where

the foil lid has not be completely

removed.

– pass through glass, porcelain,

plastic and card,

Exceptions:

– Ready-meals in aluminium foil

dishes.

These can be defrosted and reheated

in the microwave oven, if

recommended by the manufacturer.

Important: Remove the lid and make

sure the foil dish is at least 2 cm from

the oven walls at all times.

– and are absorbed by food.

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.

Material and shape

The material and shape of containers

used affect cooking results and

durations. Heat distribution is more

even in round and oval shaped flat

containers than in rectangular

containers, providing better results.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Earthenware

Do not place aluminium foil dishes

Decorated earthenware is only suitable

if the decoration is beneath an all-over

glaze.

on the rack in case the dish sparks

or arcs. If sparks occur, transfer

food to a microwave-safe container.

Earthenware can get very hot and

may crack.

– Pieces of aluminium foil

For even defrosting and to avoid

overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of

meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of

aluminium foil may be used to mask

wingtips or other thin parts for the last

few minutes of the programme.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain

metals which make them unsuitable

for use in a microwave oven.

Make sure that the aluminium foil is

at least 2 cm from the oven walls at

all times. It must not touch the walls.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable.

Moisture contained in the wood

evaporates when exposed to

microwave energy, causing the

wood to dry and crack.

– Metal meat skewers or clamps

These should only be used if they are

very small in comparison to the size of

the cut of meat.

Plastics

Glassware

When purchasing plasticware, make

sure that it is suitable for use in a

microwave oven.

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass

are ideal for use in the microwave oven.

Plastics must only be used with

Microwave Solo.

Crystal glass is unsuitable as it

contains lead which could cause the

glass to crack in the microwave

oven.

They must be heat-resistant to a

minimum of 110°C. Otherwise the

plastic may melt and fuse with the

food.

Porcelain

Special plastic utensils designed for

use in microwave ovens are available

from good retail outlets.

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.

Melamine is not suitable as it absorbs

energy and heats up.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Disposable containers, such as trays

made from polystyrene, can only be

used for very short, timed warming and

reheating of food.

Testing dishes for their

suitability

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:

Plastic boiling bags can be used for

cooking and reheating. 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.

^ Place the item you wish to test in the

centre of the oven, fill a suitable glass

with water and also place this in the

oven.

There are also special steaming

bags available which do not need to

be pierced. Please follow

^ Close the door.

instructions given on the packet.

^ Turn the power selector to 900 W.

^ Enter a duration of 30 seconds with

the time selector.

Do not use metal clips, plastic clips

containing metal parts, or paper ties

containing wire. There is a danger

Disposable containers

Only those plastic disposable

containers which are specified by the

manufacturer as suitable for use in a

microwave oven may be used.

If a crackling noise is heard

accompanied by sparks during the

test, switch the appliance off imme-

diately (press Stop/C button twice).

Do not leave the oven unattended

when reheating or cooking food in

disposable containers made of

plastic, paper or other inflammable

materials.

Any crockery which causes this

reaction is unsuitable for use with

microwave power.

Disposable containers are not always

recyclable or biodegradable.

If any doubt exists about the

suitability of containers, please

contact the supplier.

This test cannot be used to check

whether items with hollow knobs or

handles are suitable for use with

microwave power.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

The cover

Do not use a lid or cover if

– prevents too much steam escaping,

especially when cooking foods which

need longer to cook such as

potatoes.

– food coated with breadcrumbs is

being cooked.

– cooking meals which are to be given

a crisp finish.

– speeds up the cooking process.

– prevents food from drying out.

– helps keep the oven interior clean.

– the gourmet plate is being used.

Because the cover can only

withstand temperatures of up to

110°C, it must only be used in

Microwave Solo mode. It must not

be used in conjunction with the

gourmet plate. At temperatures in

excess of 110°C, the plastic can

melt and fuse with the food.

The cover should not form a seal

with the container. If the cover is

used with a container which only has

a narrow diameter, there might not

be enough room for condensation to

escape through the holes in the top.

The cover could get too hot and

could start to melt.

Always cover food with the cover

supplied.

Alternatively, 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).

Heat can cause normal clingfilm to

distort and fuse with the food.

Sealed glass containers, such as

jars of baby food, must be opened

before they are placed in the oven.

Before using for the first time

^ Check the appliance for any

damage.

Important:

After unpacking, let the appliance

stand for approx. 2 hours at room

temperature after transporting it to

its final location before connecting it

to the mains.

Do not use the microwave if

– the door is warped.

– the door hinges are loose.

– holes or cracks are visible in the

casing, the door or the oven interior

walls.

This is important for the correct

electronic functioning of the appliance.

Operating the appliance with this

type of damage will result in

microwave leakage and present a

hazard to the user.

^ Remove all the packaging materials

and any protective foil from the

appliance.

^ Clean the inside of the oven and all

the accessories with warm water

applied with a well wrung-out soft

sponge or cloth.

Do not remove the cover to the

microwave outlet inside the oven,

Operation - Grilling

The grill can be used on 4 settings: by

itself, and in combination with the

Microwave function at one of three

different power levels.

If the total grilling time required is less

than 15 minutes, the grill should be

pre-heated for approx. 5 minutes

before placing food under it.

Thin, flat cuts of fish and meat should

usually be turned half way through

grilling for even results. Larger,

chunkier pieces should be turned

several times.

^ Turn the power selector to n.

The grill symbol n will light up in the

display. 0:00 will flash.

^ Select a cooking duration using the

time selector.

Grilling times depend on the type and

thickness of the food and on the user's

preference for a rare or well-cooked

result.

^ Press the Start button.

An audible tone will sound at the end

of the process.

When grilling directly on the rack, the

glass tray should be placed underneath

the rack to catch any fat or juices.

To change a cooking duration

The cooking duration can be changed

during operation. To do this, interrupt

the cooking programme by pressing

the Stop/C button, and change the

Before using for the first time

Before using the gourmet plate for the

^ Heat the plate up on 450 W + Grill

L for up to 5 minutes.

Do not overheat the empty gourmet

plate, otherwise the coating could

be damaged.

The gourmet plate has an

easy-to-clean anti-stick coating so

that food can be removed easily.

The coating is susceptible to cuts

and scratches. Therefore do not cut

food up directly on the plate.

If using oil, you can either heat up the

oil on the gourmet plate, or you can

heat the oil separately and then add it

to the plate.

Use wooden or plastic utensils to

mix or turn food. Metallic or sharp

objects can damage the coating.

Butter, however, should always be

added after heating up the gourmet

plate. It has a lower burning point than

oil and would get too dark or burn if

added too soon.

Searing/browning food

Because food does not stick to the

anti-stick coating, only very little fat or

oil is necessary when cooking with this

dish.

Always dry meat, poultry, fish and

vegetables thoroughly before placing

them on the gourmet plate.

Do not use the gourmet plate to

cook eggs or reheat cooked eggs.

The eggs can explode.

Never leave the gourmet plate

unattended when cooking with oil or

fats, as these are a fire hazard if

allowed to overheat.

^ When using the gourmet plate, make

sure that the food is ready to transfer

to the hot gourmet plate as soon as it

has heated up.

Reheating

Select the following microwave power

levels to reheat food:

Food taken straight from the refrigerator

will take longer to reheat than food

stored at room temperature. The time

required depends on the nature of the

food, its initial temperature and the

amount to be cooked.

Drinks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 900 W

Food . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 600 W

Food for babies and toddlers . . . 450 W

We do not recommend heating or

reheating food or drinks for babies

or young children in the microwave

oven. Any decision to do this is the

responsibility of the user, and should

only be done with the utmost care.

Pasteurised or sterilised cooked

food should be gently heated at

450 W, and tasted to make sure it is

not too hot for a baby's palate

before serving. When reheating

other food or drink, heat to a high

temperature and allow to cool to a

suitable heat for eating. For formula

milk follow the manufacturer's

instructions.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated.

If in any doubt that a sufficiently high

temperature has been reached,

continue reheating for a little longer.

Stir or turn food from time to time during

cooking. Stir the food from the outside

towards the middle, as food heats more

quickly from the outside.

After reheating

Be careful when removing a dish

from the oven. It may be hot.

Although heat is not normally produced

in the container itself by the

Tips on reheating

Always use a lid or cover for reheating

food, except when a drier finish is

needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.

microwaves (apart from stoneware),

heat transfer from the food to the

container may be considerable, making

the container itself hot.

Always remove the lids from jars,

especially jars of baby food.

Loosen the screw cap and the

rubber teat before warming baby

bottles.

Allow food to stand for a few minutes at

room temperature at the end of a

reheating process to enable the heat to

spread evenly throughout the food.

When reheating liquids, place the

boiling rod supplied with the

appliance into the cup or glass.

Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a

microwave oven, even without the

shell. The eggs can burst.

After heating 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

after it has been left to stand.

Cooking

Place the food in a microwave-proof

dish and cover it.

Foods with a thick skin or peel, such as

tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes

and aubergines, should be pierced or

the skin cut in several places before

cooking to allow steam to escape and

to prevent the food from bursting.

When cooking, it is a good idea to

select a power level of 900 W to start

with and then when the food is hot

reduce the power level to 450 W for

more gentle continued cooking.

Eggs can only be cooked in their

shells in the microwave oven in a

specially designed egg-boiling

device available from specialist

shops.

For dishes such as rice or semolina

pudding, first select a power level of

900 W, and then reduce it to 150 W for

simmering.

Eggs can burst, even after they have

been taken out of the oven.

Tips on cooking

Vegetable cooking durations depend

on the texture of the vegetable.

Fresh vegetables contain more water

than vegetables which have been

stored, and usually cook more quickly.

Add a little water to vegetables which

have been stored.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells

in the microwave oven, only if the yolk

membrane has been punctured several

times first.

The pressure could otherwise cause

the egg yolk to explode.

Food taken straight from the refrigerator

takes longer to cook than food which

has been kept at room temperature.

After cooking

Be careful when removing a dish

from the oven. It may be hot.

Stir or turn food from time to time during

cooking to help it cook more evenly.

Although heat is not normally produced

in the container itself by the

Ensure that food such as meat and

fish are thoroughly cooked for an

appropriate length of time.

Cleaning and care

Miele branded cleaning and

conditioning products are available

from the Miele Spare Parts Department

or via the internet at www.

The oven interior can now be wiped

clean using a little washing-up liquid if

necessary.

To help prevent re-soiling, external

stainless steel surfaces can be treated

with a conditioning agent for stainless

steel (available from Miele).

miele-shop.com.

Disconnect the microwave oven

from the power supply before

cleaning (e.g. switch off at the

socket and remove the plug).

Do not use a steam-cleaning

appliance to clean this microwave

oven. Steam could reach the

electrical components and cause a

short circuit.

Oven housing, interior and

inside of the door

The oven interior can get hot during

use. Danger of burning. Clean the

oven interior as soon as it has

cooled down. Waiting too long can

make cleaning unnecessarily

difficult and in some cases

impossible.

Do not remove the cover to the

microwave outlet inside the oven,

nor the film covering the inside of

the door.

In certain circumstances, very heavy

soiling can even damage the

appliance.

Do not let water or any small

particles penetrate the vents in the

appliance.

The housing, interior and inside of the

door can be cleaned using a damp

cloth with a little washing up liquid or a

mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with

a soft cloth.

Wring out cloths before using them

to wipe out the oven to avoid

moisture getting into the openings.

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.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, as

these scratch the surface.

Cleaning and care

To neutralise odours in the oven, put a

cup of water with some lemon juice in

the oven and simmer for a few minutes.

^ Clean the contact area between the

turntable and the carrier.

Do not turn the carrier manually, as

this could damage the drive motor.

The door should be kept clean at all

times and checked at regular intervals

for any signs of damage.

Appliance front

If any damage is noticed, the

appliance should not be used until

the fault has been rectified by a

Miele authorised and trained service

technician.

Remove any soiling immediately.

If this is not done, it might become

impossible to remove and could

cause the surface to alter or

discolour.

To clean the interior:

Clean the front using a damp Miele

microfibre E-cloth or with a clean

sponge and a solution of hot water and

washing-up liquid. Then dry with a soft

cloth.

All external surfaces are susceptible

to scratching. Scratches on glass

surfaces could even cause a

breakage.

^ Remove the turntable, and wash in

the dishwasher or by hand.

Contact with unsuitable cleaning

agents can alter or discolour the

external surfaces.

^ Always keep the roller ring

underneath it clean as well as the

oven floor to enable the turntable to

turn smoothly.

Cleaning and care

To avoid damaging the surface of

your appliance, do not use:

carrots, tomatoes or ketchup, may

occur.

This discolouration is irreversible but

does not affect the stability of the cover.

liquid to remove any grease.

To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary

conditioning agent for stainless steel

can also be used which is available

from Miele. Follow the instructions on

the packaging. Wipe dry with a soft

cloth.

Do not use wire wool, or abrasive

sponges, aggressive or abrasive

cleaning agents.

The gourmet plate is not suitable for

cleaning in a dishwasher.

Accessories supplied

If the gourmet plate has been used to

the food relying on the slower

conduction of heat.

If food is cooked at a high power level,

it is possible that the heat may not have

reached the centre of the food, so it is
