This appliance must be installed and connected in compliance
with the installation instructions.
Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations and the provided installation
instructions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for
examination, repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by
unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the
warranty.
Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.
Before installing the oven, check for externally visible damage. Do
not operate a damaged appliance.
Reliable and safe operation of the oven can only be guaranteed if
it is connected to the power supply.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
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 housing, the door, the door seal
or the oven interior walls.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity
must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding
system. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. See "Electrical connection - GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS". It is imperative that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician.
Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been
installed correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified
technician.
Before installation, make sure that the voltage and frequency
listed on the data plate correspond with the household electrical
supply. This data must correspond to prevent injury and machine
damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Before installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the
work area by
– removing the fuse,
– "tripping" the circuit breaker, or
– unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord.
Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not use an extension cord
to connect this appliance to electricity.
The oven is not to be operated until it has been properly installed
within cabinetry.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Danger of electric shock!
Under no circumstances open the outer casing of the appliance.
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in the operating instructions. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
In order for the oven to function correctly, it requires an adequate
supply of cool air. Ensure that the air flow is not impaired (e.g.
insulation in the cabinetry). Also be sure that the cool air supply is
not heated by other sources nearby.
If the oven is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the oven is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up
behind the closed door and cause damage to the oven, cabinetry
and flooring. Do not close the door until the oven has completely
cooled down.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Proper use
Danger of burns!
The Speed Oven becomes hot when in use.
Depending on the mode selected, you could burn yourself on the
heating elements, oven interior, cooked food or oven accessories.
Wear pot holders when placing food in or removing food, or when
making adjustments in the hot Speed Oven.
Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not
glowing. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, vents, and
the control panel can become hot. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact
with heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
Do not let food sit in the oven for more than one hour before or
after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
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.
Use only dry, heat-resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let
potholders come in contact with oil or grease. Do not substitute dish
towels or other bulky items for potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating elements.
Loose fitting or hanging garments present a fire hazard. Wear
proper apparel while operating the appliance.
Do not heat unopened containers of food in the oven, pressure
may cause the containers to burst and result in injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height
while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is
hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
Open the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before
placing or removing food.
To prevent burns, allow the heating elements to cool before
cleaning by hand.
Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may
trip over it or be injured by it.
Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or
fat. They can ignite if overheated. Do not use the oven for frying.
Do not use water on grease fires. Turn off the Speed Oven
immediately and suffocate the flames by keeping the door closed.
Never store flammable liquids and materials in, above or under an
oven, or near cooking surfaces.
To avoid fueling any flames, do not open the Speed Oven door if
smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by turning
the appliance off and disconnecting it from the power. Do not open
the door until the smoke has dissipated.
Do not use the oven to heat the room. The high temperatures
radiated could cause objects near the oven to catch fire.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the
room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as storage space. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so
blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
Please be aware that durations for using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using modes without microwave power. Excessively long
cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even
cause it to catch fire.
Be sure you keep to recommended broiling times when using the
"Broil" mode. Do not use the "Microwave" mode for dehydrating
items such as flowers, herbs, bread, or rolls. Never use "Broil"
modes for pre-baked products such as bread or rolls or for drying
flowers or herbs. Use "Convection Bake" for these items and
monitor the process carefully.
Use caution when using alcohol in your recipes. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures but may, in rare circumstances,
combust on the hot heating elements.
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave modes. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow
recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode.
Fire hazard! Using Microwave or Microwave combination
modes 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,
aluminum foil, lead, crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper
covered wire ties. Do not use plastic containers with the foil lid only
partially removed (see "Containers suitable for microwave use").
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
For modes without microwave power: Plastic containers which are
not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and
can even damage the oven or catch fire.
Only use containers which are declared by the manufacturer as
being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on use.
Do not leave the microwave 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 "Containers suitable for microwave use
- Plastics").
Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are
intended for use in normal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminum
foil which reflects microwaves.This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become hot and ignite.
The Speed Oven can be damaged when using Microwave or
Microwave Combination modes if it is empty or incorrectly loaded.
For this reason please do not use modes with microwave power to
pre-heat cookware or to dry herbs.
Instead use Convection Bake or Surround for these
procedures.
When using residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the high
humidity and amount of condensation in the Speed Oven can cause
corrosion. The control panel, the countertop or the cabinetry can
also suffer damage.
Always cover food when using Microwave . Once food is cooked
through, use a lower power for continued cooking to reduce the
amount of steam produced from the food. When using residual heat
do not turn the Speed Oven off. Instead set the temperature to the
lowest setting and leave the oven on the selected mode. The fan will
then remain on automatically and dissipate the moisture.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15
It is recommended to cover all cooked food that is left in the oven
to be kept warm. This will prevent moisture from condensing on the
interior of the oven.
A build-up of heat can cause damage to the enamel on the floor
of the oven.
When using Surround , Bake , Intensive or Convection
Bake, do not line the floor of the oven with anything, e.g.,
aluminum foil or protective liners. Do not place any pans or trays
directly on the oven floor.
The door can support a maximum weight of 17.5lbs (8kg). Do not
sit on or lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects
on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door
and the oven cavity. The oven could get damaged.
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. The temperature of the
container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid
in it.
Check the food for the desired temperature after removing it. This is
particularly important when preparing food for babies. Shake or
stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try it for
temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.
The Speed 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.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and nipple must be
removed.
Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or
container to explode. Risk of injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
16
When boiling and in particular when re-heating liquids, milk,
sauces etc., using microwave power without a 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 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 oven door open, with a danger of injury and
damage.
Before cooking or reheating, thoroughly stir the liquid. Then wait at
least 20seconds before removing the container from the oven.
During cooking and reheating you can also place a glass rod or
similar in the container and use as a boiling rod, if available.
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 in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven.
They can only be cooked in their shells using microwave heat in a
specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist
shops. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated in the microwave
oven either as they too will explode.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,
potatoes and eggplant, should be pierced or cut in several places to
allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.
To check food temperature, 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 thermometers
containing mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use with
very high temperatures and break very easily
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
17
Do not use the oven to heat up heating pads filled with grains, gel,
etc.
These pads can ignite even after they have been removed from the
Speed Oven.
This oven must only be used for cooking food. Fumes, vapors or
heat given off by glues, plastics or flammable liquids and materials
could be hazardous. Do not use it as a dryer, kiln, dehumidifier, etc.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Do not let metal objects (aluminum foil, pans) come in contact
with the heating element.
Make certain that the power cords of small appliances do not
come in contact with or get caught in the oven door.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
18
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this oven.
Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Only clean parts listed in these Operating and Installation
Instructions.
Scratches on the door glass can cause the glass to break.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean the door glass.
To avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surfaces of the Speed
Oven, remove any splashes on the interior walls of the oven from
food or liquids containing salt.
Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaners or oven
liners of any kind should not be used in or around any part of the
oven.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty will become void.
Only use the Miele roast probe supplied with this oven. If it is
faulty, it must only be replaced with a Miele genuine roast probe.
The plastic on the roast probe can melt at very high temperatures.
Do not use the roast probe when using the broil functions (exception:
Convection Broil). Do not store the roast probe in the oven if it is
not in use.

Oven safety features
System lock
The system lock prevents the oven from
being used unintentionally (see
"Settings - System lock").
The system lock will remain activated
even after a power failure.
Safety switch-off
A mode without Microwave can be
started without specifying a cooking
time. To prevent continuous use and
avoid the risk of fire, the Speed Oven
will turn itself off automatically after a
time between 1 hour and 12 hours
depending on the function and
temperature chosen.
If a Combi Mode is followed in quick
succession by another program using
microwave power, the magnetron
(which produces the microwaves)
cannot be turned on again until approx.
10 seconds have elapsed. Therefore
wait a short time before starting the
second process.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on automatically
when a cooking program is started. The
cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven
cavity with cool room air before venting
it out into the kitchen through vents
located between the appliance door
and the control panel.
The cooling fan will continue to run for a
while after a cooking process to prevent
moisture building up in the oven, on the
control panel or on the surrounding
cabinetry. It will turn itself off
automatically after a while.
Features
32
PerfectClean surfaces
The revolutionary PerfectClean finish is
a smooth, non-stick surface that is
exceptionally easy to clean.
Food and grime from baking or roasting
are easily removed.
Do not use ceramic knives, as these
will scratch the PerfectClean surface.
Follow the instructions in the "Cleaning
and Care" section of this manual so the
anti-stick and easy cleaning properties
are retained.

How it works
The Speed Oven contains a high-
frequency tube called a magnetron. It
converts electrical energy into
microwaves. The microwaves are then
distributed evenly throughout the metal
sides of the oven interior to reach the
food from all sides.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate the
cooking container being used.
Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,
glass, cardboard and plastics, but not
metal. Do not, therefore, use dishes
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 cause sparking. 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
billion 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 center. The
moisture, fat and sugar content of food
will affect the speed at which it is
cooked.
Advantages
– Food can generally be cooked with
little liquid or oil.
– Defrosting, heating and cooking is
faster than using a conventional
oven.
– Nutrients, such as vitamins and
minerals, are generally retained.
– The color, texture and taste of food
are not impaired.
Microwaves stop being produced
when the program is interrupted or the
door is open. While in operation the
closed, sealed door prevents
microwaves from escaping the
appliance.
Microwave power levels
Microwave power levels 1 to 7 can be
selected.
Selecting cookware
57
Microwaves are reflected by metal.
They pass through glass, porcelain,
plastic and cardboard.
They are absorbed by food.
Non-microwave safe dishes can
suffer damage or cause damage to
the oven when using the the
Microwave (Solo) and
Combination modes with Microwave.
Risk of Fire!
The material and shape of containers
used affect cooking results and times.
Circular and oval containers work best.
The food will heat more evenly than in a
square container.
Containers suitable for
microwave use
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use with microwave power.
Exception: Do not use crystal glass
as it contains lead which can crack
or shatter in a microwave.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
Exception: Do not use porcelain with
gold, silver or cobalt blue edging or
items with hollow knobs or handles,
as insufficient ventilation may cause
a build-up of pressure.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Danger of burning! Wear pot holders
when removing earthenware dishes
from the Speed Oven.
Selecting cookware
58
Plastics
Plastic containers and plastic
disposable containers may only be
used with Microwave (Solo) if they
have been declared as suitable for
microwave use by the manufacturer. To
protect the environment, it is best to
avoid using single-use containers.
Do not leave the Speed Oven
unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or
other flammable materials.
Plastic cookware must be heat-
resistant up to at least 230°F (110°C).
Otherwise the cookware will deform
and possibly come in contact with
the food.
Only use plastic dishes in the
Microwave and combination
modes.
– Plastic microwave containers
Readily available from retail stores.
– Styrofoam containers
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from styrofoam, can only be used
for very short, timed warming and
reheating of food.
– Plastic cooking bags
Plastic cooking bags can be used for
cooking and reheating food.
They should be pierced beforehand so
that steam can escape. This prevents a
build-up of steam and reduces the rish
of the bag bursting.
There are also cooking bags that do not
need to be pierced. Following the
instructions listed on the packaging.
– Roasting bags
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Fire hazard!
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
containing metal parts, or paper ties
containing wire. There is a danger
that they will ignite when heated.
– Melamine
Plastic tableware made from melamine
is not suitable for use in this oven.
Melamine absorbs microwave energy
and becomes very hot. Before
purchasing plasticware be sure that is is
microwave-safe.
Selecting cookware
59
Unsuitable containers for
microwave use
Dishes with hollow knobs or
handles are not suitable for use with
microwave modes. Moisture which
has gathered in the hollow recesses
can cause pressure to build up and
the item can explode.
Metal
Metal reflects microwaves and
obstructs the cooking process.
Do not use metal containers, aluminum,
foil, metal cutlery and china with
metallic decoration such as gold rims or
cobalt blue with Microwave
combination modes.
Do not use containers where the foil
lid has not been completely removed
as small pieces of foil can cause
sparking.
Exceptions:
The rack supplied is only suitable for
cooking in Combination modes and
modes that do not use microwave. It
is not suitable for cooking in the
Microwave (Solo) mode.
The rack should be used on a shelf
level. Do not place it on the floor of
the oven.
– Metal bakeware can be used with
Microwave combination modes.
– Ready-meals in aluminum foil trays
can be defrosted and reheated using
microwave power as long as the lid is
removed.
When using foil trays there is a risk of
arcing or sparks occurring in the
oven. For this reason, place the foil
tray on the glass tray and not on the
rack.
The foil tray must be at least
3/4" (2cm) away from the oven
walls. It must not touch them.
However, as food is only heated from
the top, it is better to remove the food
from the aluminum foil container and
transfer it to a dish suitable for use in a
microwave oven. The heat distribution
will be more even.
Selecting cookware
60
– Aluminum foil pieces
For even defrosting and to avoid
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of
meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of
aluminum foil may be used to mask thin
pieces for the last few minutes of the
program.
Make sure that the aluminum foil is
at least 3/4" (2cm) from the oven
walls at all times. It must not touch
the walls.
– 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.
Glazes and colors
Some glazes and colors contain metal
and are therefore unsuitable for
microwave modes.
Wood
Wooden dishes are not suitable.
Moisture contained in the wood
evaporates when exposed to
microwave energy, causing the wood to
dry and crack.
Testing dishes for their
suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass,
earthenware or porcelain plates or
dishes are suitable for use with
microwave energy, a simple test can be
performed:
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1
and place the empty item you wish to
test on the glass tray. Fill a suitable
glass with water and also place this
on the glass tray.
Close the door.
Select Microwave .
Set the highest microwave power
level (7) and a cooking duration of
30seconds.
Confirm with OK and start the
program.
If a cracking noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
test, turn the appliance off
immediately. Any cookware which
causes this reaction is unsuitable for
use with microwave power. If in
doubt, contact the cookware
manufacturer.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
Selecting cookware
61
Placing the dish in the Speed
Oven
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1.
The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the
glass tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
Lid
The lid offers the following advantages:
– Prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
– Speeds up the cooking process.
– Prevents food from drying out.
– Helps keep the oven interior clean.
When using Microwave (Solo) ,
always cover the food with a lid or
cover made of microwave safe glass
or plastic.
These covers are available at retail
stores.
Alternatively, use plastic wrap
recommended for use in a microwave
oven (pierce as instructed by the
manufacturer). Heat can cause normal
plastic wrap to distort and fuse with
the food.
Selecting cookware
62
The cover can only withstand
temperatures up to 230°F (110°C).
Higher temperatures (e.g. those used
for Broil and Convection Bake) can
cause the plastic to distort and fuse
with the food. The cover should only
be used with Microwave (Solo) .
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.
Do not use the cover if:
– cooking breaded food,
– cooking food which requires a crisp
finish,
– cooking food with a Combi mode.
Otherwise pressure can build up,
causing the container to explode,
posing a severe risk of injury.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
Otherwise pressure will build up
which can cause the bottle or
container to explode. Risk of injury.
Energy saving tips
63
– Remove any accessories from the
oven that you do not require for
cooking.
– If possible, do not open the door
during a program. If the door is
opened during a program that is not
using microwave power, the heat in
the oven automatically turns off. The
fan continues to run. As soon as the
door is closed again, the program will
continue.
– If a temperature range is given, it is
best to select the lower temperature
and check the food after the shortest
cooking time given.
– Convection Broil can be used for
a wide variety of foods. Lower
temperatures can be used than with
other Broil modes which use the
maximum temperature setting.
– The default setting for the Time of
Day display Time - Display - Off will
consume the least amount of energy.
– With the factory default setting
Lighting - On for 15 seconds the oven
interior lighting turns off automatically
after 15 seconds. It can be turned on
again at any time by touching "Light".
– When cooking with automatic shut-
off or the wireless roast probe, the
oven heating will turn off
automatically shortly before the end
of cooking. The residual heat is
sufficient to finish the cooking
process. Energy Save will appear in
the display. The cooling fan or hot air
fan (depending on mode used) will
remain on.
– The oven turns off automatically if a
button is not pressed to save power.
The amount of time before the oven
turns off depends on the selected
settings, e.g. mode, temperature,
cooking duration, etc.

Bake
86
Eating food which has been cooked
correctly is important for good
health.
Only bake cakes, pizza, french fries,
etc. until they are golden brown. Do
not overcook them.
Oven modes
Depending on how you would like the
food prepared, you can use Convection
Bake , Surround , Intensive ,
or Combi Bake (see "Guide to the
modes").
Combi Bake is particularly suitable
for baking dough with a longer baking
time, such as yeast-based dough,
enriched dough, and kneaded dough,
because the cooking time is shortened.
During this mode, power level 2 must
not be exceed throughout the entire
baking time.
Bakeware
The bakeware used depends on the
oven mode chosen and how the food is
prepared.
– Convection Bake , Intensive :
Bakeware made of any heat-resistant
material is suitable. Light-colored,
thin, non-reflective metal baking pans
can be used, but results may not be
as good as with dark non-reflective
bakeware.
– Surround :
Dark metal, enamel or aluminum
baking tins with a matte finish, as
well as heat-resistant glass, ceramic
and coated dishes can be used.
Avoid bright, shiny metal tins as they
result in uneven or poor browning,
and in some cases cakes might not
cook properly.
– Combi Bake
Only use oven-safe dishware suitable
for microwave use (see "Containers
suitable for microwave use"), such as
oven-safe glass or ceramic dishes as
these allow microwaves through
them.
Metal containers reflect microwaves
so food will only cook from above.
Cooking durations would therefore be
longer and metal tins could also
cause sparking. Place the dish on the
glass tray such that it cannot touch
the oven walls. If the dish being used
causes sparking, do not use it for
combination cooking modes again.
Parchment paper
Place french fries, croquettes and
similar types of food on paper.
Bake
87
Temperature
Select the suggested temperature if
possible.
Choosing a baking temperature higher
than those recommended may reduce
the cooking time, but will lead to
uneven browning, and unsatisfactory
cooking results.
Baking duration
Check if the food is cooked at the end
of the shortest duration quoted. To
check if a cake is ready insert a wooden
skewer or toothpick into the center, it
should come out clean.
Shelf levels
The shelf level that you place the food
on for baking depends on the oven
mode and the number of trays being
used.
– Convection Bake
Cakes in pans: Level 1 from the
bottom
Flat baked goods (e.g. cookies,
cakes): Level 2 from the bottom
Baking on 2 levels at the same time:
Levels 1+3 from the bottom or levels
2+3 from the bottom
– Surround
Cakes in pans: Level 1 from the
bottom
Flat baked goods (e.g. cookies,
cakes: Level 2 from the bottom
– Intensive
In general use Level 1 from the
bottom.
– Combi Bake
Insert the glass tray on Level 1 from
the bottom and place the bakeware
on it.
Tips
– Setting the cooking duration. When
baking, the oven should not be set to
start after an extended period of time.
Otherwise the cake mixture or dough
will dry out, and the raising agents
will lose their effectiveness.
– Place cakes in rectangular bakeware
on the rack with the longer side
across the width of the oven for
optimum heat distribution and even
results.
Roast
88
Always observe the USDA guidelines
for food safety.
Oven modes
Convection Bake / Convection Roast
, Auto Roast
For roasting meat, fish and poultry
dishes in which a browned finish is
desired.
Combi Bake ,
Combi Auto Roast
The program duration is shorter with
these modes.
Set the microwave to the following
power levels for the entire roasting time:
– For meat and fish: max. Level 3
– For poultry: max. Level 2
This combination program is not
suitable for cooking roast beef or
tenderloins. The center would be too
well cooked before the exterior is
browned.
Cooking accessories
Please take into account the material of
your bakeware in your choice of oven
mode:
– Convection Bake / Convection Roast
/ Auto Roast :
Roasting pans, ovenproof ceramic
dishes, and clay roasting pans.
Make sure that the pot and lid have
heat-resistant handles.
– Combi Bake /
Combi Auto Roast :
Dishes must be suitable for use in a
microwave oven and must not have
metal lids (see "Containers suitable
for microwave use").
Roasting in a closed pan
Season the meat and place it in the
roasting dish. Dot with butter or
margarine or brush with oil if
necessary. For large lean cuts of meat
(4–6 lbs.) and fatty poultry, add about
1/2 cup of water to the dish.
When using a roasting bag, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Roasting on the rack
Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or
wrap with bacon.
Do not add too much liquid during
cooking as this will hinder the
browning process.
Roast
89
Temperature
Select the suggested temperature if
possible.
If higher temperatures are used, the
meat will brown on the outside, but will
not be properly cooked through.
Shelf levels
– Convection Bake / Convection Roast
/ Auto Roast :
Rack with meat on it on shelf level 1
– Combi Bake /
Combi Auto Roast :
Rack or glass tray with meat on it on
shelf level 1
Tips
– Resting time: At the end of the
program, take the roast out of the
oven, cover with aluminum foil and let
stand for about 10 minutes. This
helps retain the juices when the meat
is sliced.
– The larger the cut of meat, the lower
the temperature setting should be.
– Use a roast probe for accurate
cooking temperatures and best
results.
Roast
90
Roast Probe
The roast probe enables the roasting
process to be monitored simply and
reliably.
How the roast probe works
The metal tip of the roast probe is
inserted into the food. There is a
temperature sensor in the metal tip
which measures the core temperature
of the food during cooking. The rise in
the core temperature reflects the extent
to which the food is cooked. You can
program the core temperature to be
lower or higher, depending on how you
would like the meat cooked, rare,
medium or well-done.
A core temperature of up to 210°F
(99°C) can be set. Please refer to the
roasting chart and "Slow cooking" for
the core temperatures applicable for
different types of meat.
The cooking time will be similar when
cooking with or without the roast probe.
When to use the roast probe
Some MasterChef programs and
Special modes will prompt you to use
the roast probe.
You can also use it with your own
Favorite programs and with the
following functions:
– Auto Roast
– Convection Bake / Convection Roast
– Surround / Surround Roast
– Convection Broil
– Microwave
– Combi Auto Roast
– Combi Bake
– Combi Broil
Roast
91
Important notes regarding the roast
probe
Please note:
– You can place the meat in a pot, on
the rack or in the glass tray,
depending on the mode selected.
– The metal tip of the roast probe must
be fully inserted into the center of the
food.
– When cooking poultry, insert the
metal tip into the thickest part of the
breast. You can find the thickest part
of the breast by pressing the area
with your thumb and index finger.
– Do not let the metal tip touch any
bones or insert it into a fatty area of
the meat. If fat or bone come into
contact with the probe, this can lead
to the oven being turned off too early.
– If the meat is very heavily marbled
with fat, select the highest core
temperature given in the roasting
chart.
– When using roasting bags or
aluminum foil, insert the probe
through the bag or foil into the center
of the meat. You can also place the
meat, with the roast probe inserted,
inside the foil. Follow the roasting
bag / aluminum foil manufacturer's
instructions.
Using the roast probe
Insert the metal tip of the roast probe
fully into the food.
Place the food in the oven.
Insert the plug of the roast probe into
the socket until you feel it engage.
Close the door.
Select an oven mode or MasterChef
program.
Set the temperature or power level if
necessary.
Set the core temperature if
necessary.
The core temperatures cannot be
changed for the MasterChef
programs.
Roast
92
You can also delay the start of the
cooking program to a later time. To do
this, select Start at. In the MasterChef
programs, select Start Later.
You can estimate approximately when
the food will be ready as the duration of
the cooking program is about the same
as if you were cooking food without
using the roast probe.
Duration and Ready at cannot be set
because the total time depends on how
long it takes for the core temperature to
be reached.
Time left display
If you have set a cooking temperature
above 275°F (140°C), the estimated
duration of the cooking process
remaining (time left) will appear on the
display.
The time left is calculated from the
cooking temperature selected, the set
core temperature, and the pattern of the
increasing core temperature.
The time left first shown is an estimate.
As the cooking process continues, the
time is revised continuously, and a
more accurate figure is shown.
The time left will be deleted if the
cooking or core temperature is changed
or if a different mode is selected. If the
door is opened for a longer time, the
time left will be recalculated.

Displaying the core temperature
As soon as the time remaining appears,
you can also display the actual core
temperature.
Select Change.
Select Display core temperature.
Select On.
Confirm with OK.
The actual core temperature will also
appear in the display.
Using residual heat
Shortly before the end of the cooking
program the oven heating will turn off.
The residual heat in the oven is
sufficient to complete the cooking
process.
Using the residual heat in the oven
saves energy.
Energy Save Phase will appear in the
display to show that the oven is in
energy save mode. The measured core
temperature is no longer visible.
The cooling fan and hot air fan (if turned
on) will continue to run.
When the selected core temperature
has been reached,
– Program Finished appears in the
display,
– A buzzer will sound if turned on (see
"Settings - Volume - Buzzer tones").
Tip: If the food is not sufficiently
cooked, insert the probe into another
place and repeat the program.
Slow Roasting
94
This cooking method is ideal for
cooking beef, pork, veal or lamb when a
tender result is desired.
First, using a cooktop sear the meat on
all sides to seal in the juices.
Then place the meat in a preheated
oven. It will be cooked at a low
temperature for an extended time
allowing the meat to become very
tender.
The meat will rest and the juices start to
circulate evenly throughout.
This gives the meat a very tender and
juicy result.
Tips
– Use fresh, lean meat that has been
trimmed. Remove the bones before
cooking.
– When searing, use a suitable cooking
oil or fat that can withstand high
temperatures (e.g. clarified butter,
vegetable oil).
– Do not cover the meat during
cooking.
Cooking will take approx. 2-4 hours,
depending on the size and weight of
the meat, as well as the desired
degree of doneness and browning.

be kept warm until you serve it.
– The meat is at an ideal temperature
to be eaten right away. Serve on pre-
warmed plates with a hot sauce or
gravy to keep warm.

enable the heat to spread evenly
throughout the food.
Burn hazard!
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 after
it has been left to stand.
Danger of burns!
Be careful when removing dishes
from the appliance. Although heat is
not normally produced in the
container itself by the microwaves
(apart from stoneware), heat transfer
from the food to the container may
be considerable, making the
container itself hot.
Use pot holders when removing
dishes.
Always ensure that food is sufficiently
cooked or reheated.
If you are unsure whether a
sufficiently high temperature has
been reached or whether the food is
sufficiently cooked, continue
reheating a little longer.
Always follow proper food safety
guidelines.
Tips on reheating
Danger of burns! Food for infants
and children must not be too hot.
Heat baby food for only approx.
30-60 seconds at power level 4. You
can also use the roast probe for
temperature-controlled heating.
Otherwise pressure can build up,
causing the container to explode,
posing a severe risk of injury.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
Otherwise pressure will build up
which can cause the bottle or
container to explode. Risk of injury.
Eggs may burst.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs using
Microwave , even without the
shell. The eggs can explode.
Microwave: Defrosting/Reheating/Cooking
102
When boiling and in particular when
reheating liquids using microwave
power, 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 can lead to
the liquid boiling over suddenly and
explosively. The formation of bubbles
can be so strong that the pressure
forces the oven door open.
To avoid this, always wait a minimum
of 20seconds before removing the
container from the oven and place a
suitable glass rod or utensil into the
cup or glass when heating liquids.
Cooking tips
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausage, potatoes and
egg plant can burst when heated.
Pierce or score the skin of these
foods several times to allow steam to
escape.
Eggs heated in their shell can burst,
even after removed from the oven.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells using Microwave (Solo) in
a specially designed egg-boiling
device available from speciality
stores.
When heating shelled eggs, the yolk
may still burst after cooking.
Prick the yolk several times before
cooking to avoid this.

When to use Notes
Defrosting large quantities
of food at once, e.g. 4 lbs.
of fish
The glass tray can be used on shelf level 1 for
defrosting food.
Reheating food Always cover food when reheating it, except when
reheating fried food or food with breading.
Cooking vegetables 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.
Cooking frozen meals Deep frozen meals can be defrosted and then
reheated or cooked in one process. Follow the
instructions on the package.
Tables for defrosting, reheating and cooking food using the
Microwave mode
The following notes apply to all tables:
Always observe the USDA guidelines for food safety.
Take note of the default microwave power levels, durations and standing times.
These take the consistency, the quantity and the initial temperature of the food
into account.
In general you are recommended to select the middle duration.
Place the food on the glass tray and use shelf level 1.

Cleaning and care
118
Danger of burns!
Make sure the heating elements are
turned off and allowed to cool
completely.
Danger of injury! The steam from
a steam cleaner could reach
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance.
All surfaces can discolor or be
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. The front of the
oven, in particular, will be damaged
by oven cleaners and descalers.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratches. Scratches on glass
surfaces could cause a breakage.
Remove any cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Stubborn soiling may damage the
oven.
Once the oven has cooled clean the
oven, the inside of the door and the
door seal. Waiting too long to clean
the oven will make if much more
difficult to clean.
Check the door and door seal for any
sign of damage. If any damage is
seen, the oven should not be used
again. Contact Miele.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To better maintain your appliance avoid
the following:
– Cleaners containing soda, ammonia,
thinners, or chlorides
– Cleaners containing descaling agents
or lime removers
– Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g.,
powder or cream cleansers, pumice
stones)
– Solvent-based cleaners
– Stainless steel cleaners
– Dishwasher cleaners
– Glass cleaning agents
– Ceramic cooktop cleaners
– Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scrubbers or scrub sponges,
sponges which have previously been
used with abrasive cleaning agents)
– Eraser sponges
– Sharp metal scrapers
– Steel wool
– Stainless steel spiral pads
– Spot cleaners
– Oven cleaners*
* These can, however, be used to
remove very heavy soiling from
PerfectClean treated surfaces.
Cleaning and care
119
If stains and food residues are
allowed to remain on surfaces for a
longer period of time, it may no
longer be possible to remove them.
Continued use without cleaning will
make the oven much harder to clean.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Only the glass tray is dishwasher
proof.
Tips
– Soiling caused by spilt juices and
cake mixtures is best removed while
the oven is still warm. Use caution
and make sure the oven is not too hot
- Danger of burns.
– The Browning/Broiling element can
be lowered for easier cleaning.
– To neutralize odors in the oven, put a
container of water with some lemon
juice in the oven and heat for a few
minutes.
Normal soiling
Moisture inside the oven can cause
damage.
Wipe out the oven with a damp cloth
so no excess moisture enters the
interior of the appliance through the
openings.
Remove normal soiling immediately
using a clean sponge with warm
water and liquid dish soap applied
with a clean, damp microfiber cloth.
After cleaning, ensure that any
detergent residue is removed with
clean water.
This is particularly important when
cleaning surfaces treated with
PerfectClean enamel as detergent
residue can impair the non-stick
properties.
After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a
soft cloth.
Roast Probe
Do not put the roast probe into water
or clean it in the dishwasher, this will
damage it.
Clean the roast probe with a damp
towel.
Cleaning and care
120
Stubborn soiling
Fruit juices and roasting juices may
cause permanent discoloration to the
surfaces of the oven. This will not
affect the performance of the oven.
Do not use force to remove stains.
Clean only as described in this
manual.
Moisten stubborn soiling with a
solution of warm water and liquid
dish soap, leave for a few minutes to
take effect.
If necessary, the rough side of a dish
sponge can be used to remove the
soiling.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Stubborn soiling on PerfectClean
surfaces can be cleaned using Miele
Oven Cleaner. It must only be applied
to cold surfaces in accordance with
the instructions on the packaging.
Non-Miele oven spray must only be
used in a cold oven and for no longer
than 10 minutes.

A different temperature than that given in the recipe
was used.
Select the temperature required for the recipe.
The ingredient quantities are different from those
given in the recipe.
Double check the recipe. The addition of more
liquid or more eggs will make a wetter mixture
which will take longer to cook.
The browning is
uneven.
The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected.
There will always be a slight unevenness. If the
unevenness is great, check whether the correct
temperature and shelf level were selected.
The cookware used was not right for the program
chosen. Bright, shiny pans are not very suitable.
These reflect heat, which means that the heat does
not penetrate to the food effectively, resulting in
uneven or poor browning.
Dark, matte pans are best for baking.
Frequently Asked Questions
125
Problem Possible cause and solution
The food is not
sufficiently heated or is
not cooked at the end
of a set duration when
using Microwave (Solo)
.
Check that the program was restarted after
interrupting a cooking process using microwave
power.
Restart the program to ensure the food is heated
or cooked properly.
When cooking for heating with microwave, the time
set was too short.
Check that the correct time is selected for the
microwave power level. The lower the microwave
power level the longer the cooking time.
The food has cooled
down too quickly after
being reheated or
cooked in microwave
mode.
Due to the microwave properties, the heat is
generated first at the edges of the food and is then
transferred to the center of the food. If the food is
heated with a high microwave power level the food
may be hot on the outside but not heated through to
the center.
When cooking foods with different sizes, such as
with menu cooking, a lower microwave power level
for a longer period of time is most suitable.
The oven lighting turns
off after a short time.
The oven is factory set to turn off automatically after
15 seconds. This setting can be changed (see
"Settings - Lighting").
Frequently Asked Questions

Problem Possible cause and solution
The oven lighting does
not turn on.
The halogen bulb needs to be replaced.
Danger of burns!
Make sure the heating elements are turned off and
allowed to cool completely.
The light cover consists of two seperate parts, a
glass cover and mounting. If it falls it can be
damaged.
When removing the cover hold it firmly so that it
does not fall. Place a towel on the oven floor and
open door to avoid damage.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Remove the screw to the lamp cover using a T20
Torx screwdriver, and take off the cover.
Do not touch the halogen bulb with bare fingers.
Observe the manufacturers instructions.
Remove the halogen bulb.
Replace it with a new halogen bulb (Sylvania
66740, 120 V, 40 W, G9, FS1). It must be thermally
stable up to 575°F (300°C).
Replace the glass piece in the mounting, and refit
the lamp cover. Make sure that the lug on the
mounting is correctly located in the notch in the
roof of the oven, then screw the mounting back
into place.
Reconnect the oven to the electrical supply.
