Technical safety
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. Check the appliance
for visible signs of damage. Do not use the appliance if it is
damaged.
If the electrical connection cable is damaged it must only be
replaced by a Miele authorised service technician in order to prevent
a hazard.
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the domestic installation and in
this Miele product must also be assured in their function and
operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous
operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if
– the appliance door is warped.
- the door hinges are loose.
– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven
interior walls.
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the microwave oven will endanger
your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the
appliance housing under any circumstances.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
Do not use multi-socket adapters and extension leads to connect
the microwave oven to the electricity supply. They are a fire hazard
and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
The electrical safety of this microwave oven can only be
guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective
earthing system. It is essential that this standard safety requirement
is met to avoid the risk of damage or electric shock due to a missing
or disconnected protective conductor. If in any doubt, please have
the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has
been built in.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorised technician will
void the warranty.
During repairs or cleaning and maintenance, the microwave oven
must be disconnected from the mains power supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– the plug has been disconnected from the back of the appliance or
the appliance has been switched off at the wall socket and the plug
withdrawn.
Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to
disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off.
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable).
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 spare parts.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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. Heat and moisture can build up
behind the closed furniture door. This can result in damage to the
appliance and furniture unit. Leave the furniture door open until the
appliance has cooled down completely.
The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Correct use
Danger of burning on the grill.
When grilling with or without the microwave function, the
microwave oven will get hot. You could burn yourself on the oven
interior walls, the grill element, food, accessories or the oven door.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it,
and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.
The time required for this depends on a number of factors, such as
the nature of the food, its initial temperature, the amount to be
cooked and recipe variations.
Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed
by thorough cooking at sufficiently high temperatures (over 70°C) for
long enough (a minimum of 10minutes). Therefore when cooking or
reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is
fully cooked through. If in any doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached, continue reheating for a little longer.
It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing a
sufficiently long standing time (see charts) which should be added to
the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking. During the
standing time the temperature is distributed evenly in the food.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting
in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with
traditional methods of cooking food.
Excessively long cooking durations can lead to food drying out and
burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. Fire hazard! There is
also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs etc. are dried in
the microwave oven. Do not dry these items in the microwave oven.
Cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender,
or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy can ignite when heated,
even after they have been removed from the microwave oven. Do not
heat these up in the microwave oven. Fire hazard!
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 preheat crockery or to dry herbs or similar items.
Always ensure that food, a gourmet plate or a browning dish has
been placed in the microwave, and that the turntable is in place,
before switching on.
Pressure can build up when reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers, jars or bottles, which can cause them to explode. Never
cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be taken off.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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. The dish is only
warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving, always check the
temperature of the food itself after taking it out of the microwave. The
temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of
the food or liquid in it. This is particularly important when heating
food for babies, children, and the elderly or infirm. 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 of burning. Double check after it has been left to stand.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc. using microwave power,
the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production
of the typical bubbles. Liquids do 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, which can
lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of
burning and scalding!
The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces
the oven door open. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance!
Stir liquids well before heating. After heating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the container from the oven. In
addition, during heating a glass rod or similar item, if available, can
be placed in the container.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs in the oven interior.
Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect
it from the electricity supply.
Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the
microwave oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Do not
use the appliance for deep frying. Never attempt to put out oil or fat
fires with water. Switch the microwave oven off and extinguish the
flames by leaving the door closed.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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. The vapour can
catch fire on hot surfaces. Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave, as it can easily ignite. Fire hazard!
Food which is stored in the oven or left in it to be kept warm can
dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in
the microwave oven. This can also cause damage to the control
panel, benchtop and surrounding kitchen furniture. Always cover
food that is left in the oven to keep warm.
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 interior and accessories as soon as it has cooled down.
Waiting too long can make cleaning unnecessarily difficult and in
some cases impossible. Stubborn soiling could damage the
microwave oven in certain circumstances and could even be
dangerous. Fire hazard!
Please refer to the relevant instructions in “Cleaning and care”.
Fire hazard! Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in
microwave ovens can be badly damaged and cause damage to the
appliance if used. 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 use”).
Using these items could result in damage to the container and/or
present a fire risk.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Disposable plastic containers must be specified by the manufacturer as
suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Do not leave the oven unattended when heating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials.
Heat-retaining packaging consists of, among other things, a thin
layer of aluminium foil. Microwaves are reflected by metal. This
reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to
become so hot that it ignites.
Do not use heat-retaining packaging for warming food in the
microwave oven, such as bags for grilled chicken.
If you cook eggs without their shells using microwave power, the
yolks could explode due to the resulting pressure. Prick the yolk
several times before cooking to avoid this.
Eggs heated in their shells using microwave power can burst,
even after they have been taken out of the oven. Eggs can only be
cooked in their shells in a specially designed egg-boiling device.
Do not reheat hard-boiled eggs in the microwave oven.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages,
potatoes and aubergines can burst when heated. Pierce or score the
skin of these types of food several times to allow steam to escape.
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use in a
microwave oven. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow
recesses can cause pressure to build up and the items can explode
(this risk is reduced if the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated). We
recommend that you do not use such dishes in the microwave oven.
Do not use a thermometer containing mercury or liquid as these are
not suitable for use with very high temperatures and break very easily.
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.
The steam from a steam cleaner could reach electrical
components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
The following applies for stainless steel surfaces:
The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives
and will lose its dirt-repelling properties. Do not use sticky notes,
adhesive tape or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel
surface.
The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratches.
Accessories
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your microwave oven.
The rack and gourmet plate supplied are designed for use with
microwave power and can be used for grilling with or without the
microwave function.
They must not, however, 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 it on a suitable
heat-resistant mat or pot rest.
The rack and the gourmet plate get hot during grilling (with or
without the microwave function).
Danger of burning!
Do not place the hot gourmet plate (or any other hot cooking
container) on a cold surface, such as a tiled or granite benchtop. The
glass tray or container could crack or shatter. Use a suitable heat-
resistant mat or pot rest.
Do not use the gourmet plate together with a commercially
available microwave cover because the cover would become too hot.
Before using for the first time
15
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 electricity supply.
This is to allow time for the temperature
to equalise between the temperature in
the room and the appliance. This is
important for the correct electronic
functioning of the appliance.
Risk of suffocation from
packaging material.
Whilst playing, children may become
entangled in packaging material
(such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head with the risk of
suffocation.
Keep packaging material away from
children.
Remove all packaging materials from
the appliance.
Do not remove the cover of the
microwave outlet inside the oven.
Check the appliance for any damage.
Danger to health due to a
defective device.
Operating a damaged appliance can
result in microwave leakage and
present a hazard to the user.
Do not use the appliance if
– the appliance door is warped.
- the door hinges are loose.
– holes or cracks are visible in the
casing, the door or the oven interior
walls.
Clean the inside of the microwave
oven and all the accessories with a
soft sponge and warm water.

Electrical connection
Danger of injury due to a
defective appliance.
Before connecting the appliance,
ensure that it has not been damaged
in any way.
Do not use a damaged appliance.
The appliance is supplied with a power
cord and plug for connection.
Make sure that the earthed socket is
freely accessible at all times. If the
switch is not accessible after
installation an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the appliance to a multi-
socket plug adapter or to an
extension lead can overload the
cable.
The appliance must not be used with
so-called energy saving devices
either. These reduce the amount of
energy supplied to the appliance,
causing it to overheat.
Do not use an extension lead or
multi-socket plug adapter.
Connect the appliance directly with
the original cable without any
intermediate elements.
The electrical system must comply with
the applicable standards and with local
and national regulations.
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from Miele) in order to avoid a
hazard. For safety reasons, such
replacement may only be carried out by
a qualified and competent technician or
Miele.
The connection data can be found on
the data plate located on the front of
the oven interior or on the back of the
appliance.
Compare the specifications on the data
plate with those of the mains electricity
supply. The data must match.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation with
a self-sufficient or non-mains
synchronous energy supply system
(e.g. isolated networks, back-up
systems) is possible. A requirement for
the operation is that the energy supply
system complies with all current local
and national requirements that apply to
stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in
the domestic installation and in this
Miele product must also be assured in
their function and operation in isolated
operation or in non-mains synchronous
operation, or replaced with equivalent
measures in the installation.
Caring for the environment
22
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. 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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of the functions
30
In a microwave oven there is a high-
frequency tube called a magnetron.
This converts electrical energy into
electromagnetic waves (microwaves).
These microwaves are distributed
evenly throughout the oven interior, and
are reflected off the metal appliance
walls. This enables the microwaves to
reach the food from all sides and heat it
up. Microwave distribution is improved
with the turntable engaged.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate the
cooking container being used.
Microwaves can pass through
porcelain, glass, cardboard and
plastics, but not metal. Therefore do not
use utensils that are made of metal or
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 into the food. All food
contains water molecules which, when
subjected to microwave energy, start to
oscillate 2.5 billion times a second. This
vibration creates heat. It first starts
developing around the outside of the
food and then slowly penetrates
towards the centre. The more water a
food contains, the faster it is heated or
cooked.
The heat is produced directly in the
food. This has the following
advantages:
– Food can generally be cooked without
adding liquid or cooking oil, or with just
a little water or oil.
– Cooking, reheating and defrosting in a
microwave oven is quicker than using
conventional methods.
– 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. When the appliance is in
operation, the closed, sealed door
prevents microwaves escaping from the
appliance.
Modes of operation
31
In the microwave oven, food is cooked,
reheated or defrosted quickly.
You can use the microwave oven in the
following ways:
– Food can be defrosted, reheated or
cooked by entering a power level and a
duration.
– Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can
be defrosted and then heated or
cooked.
– The microwave oven can also be used
for other tasks, e.g. for proving yeast
dough, melting chocolate and butter,
dissolving gelatine, preparing cake
icing, and preserving small amounts of
fruit, vegetables and meat.
Functions
Microwave Solo mode
Suitable for defrosting, reheating and
cooking.
Grilling
Ideal for grilling thin cuts of meat, e.g.
steak or sausages.
Combination mode (Microwave +
Grill)
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:
You can choose from four different
categories of Automatic programmes.
- Cook
- Defrost
- Reheat
- Popcorn
The programmes are weight-
dependent.
You can specify the weight of food in
grams (g), pounds (lb) or pounds/ounces
(lb/oz) (see “Settings - Changing
settings”).
Suitable containers for microwave use
32
Microwaves
- are reflected by metal,
- pass through glass, porcelain, plastic
and cardboard,
- and are absorbed by food.
Risk of fire due to unsuitable
crockery.
Containers which are not suitable for
use in microwave ovens can be
badly damaged and cause damage
to the appliance if used.
Please observe the information on
suitable containers for microwave
use.
Material and shape
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.
Risk of injury due to hollow
handle parts and lid knobs.
Moisture can penetrate hollow
handles and lid knobs of crockery.
This can lead to a build-up of
pressure, which can cause the
hollow parts to crack or shatter with
the danger of injury.
Do not use crockery with hollow
handles or lid knobs, unless the
hollow parts are sufficiently vented.
Metal
Metal containers, aluminium foil,
metal cutlery, and china with
metallic decoration such as gold rims
or cobalt blue must not be used with
microwave mode. Metal reflects
microwaves and obstructs the
cooking process.
Do not use containers where the foil
lid has not been completely removed
as small pieces of foil can cause
sparking.
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 2cm from the oven walls
at all times. However, food is only
Suitable containers for microwave use
33
heated from the top. Transferring the
food from the aluminium foil container
to a dish suitable for microwave use will
result in a more even heat distribution.
Do not place aluminium foil dishes
on the rack, in case the dish sparks
or arcs.
- 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.
Make sure that the aluminium foil is
at least 2 cm 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 colours
Some dishes have glazes and
colours containing metallic
substances. These dishes are
unsuitable for microwave use.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass is
ideal for use in the microwave oven.
Crystal glass is unsuitable as it
usually contains lead which could
cause the glass to crack in the
microwave.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
However do not use porcelain with
gold or silver edging, or items with
hollow knobs or handles.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Earthenware can get very hot and
may crack.
Wear oven gloves when removing
the dishes from the oven.
Wood
Water contained in wood evaporates
during the cooking programme. This
causes the wood to dry and crack.
Wooden dishes are therefore not
suitable.
Suitable containers for microwave use
34
Plastics
Damage caused by heat-
sensitive plastics.
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 110°C. Otherwise the
plastic may melt and fuse with the
food.
Use plastic containers only with
Microwave Solo mode.
Special plastic utensils designed for use
in microwave ovens are available from
retail outlets.
Melamine containers are not suitable.
They absorb energy and become hot.
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a
microwave oven.
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. They should
be pierced beforehand to allow the
steam to escape. This prevents a
build-up of pressure from forming
and the bag from bursting.
There are also special bags available for
steam cooking which do not need to be
pierced. Please follow the instructions
given on the packet.
Risk of fire due to unsuitable
material.
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.
Disposable containers
Disposable plastic containers must
have the characteristics listed under
“Plastics”.
Risk of fire due to unsuitable
crockery.
Disposable containers made out of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials can ignite.
Do not leave the appliance
unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable materials.
To protect the environment we do not
recommend the use of single-use
containers.
Suitable containers for microwave use
35
Testing containers
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 item you wish to test in the
centre of the oven.
Close the door.
Touch the sensor.
Select the 900 Watt power level.
Enter 30 seconds using the and
arrow sensors and confirm the entry
with OK.
Touch the sensor to start the
test.
If a crackling noise is heard during
the test accompanied by sparks,
switch the appliance off immediately
(touch and confirm with OK)! Any
crockery which causes this reaction
is unsuitable for use with microwave
power. If any doubt exists about the
suitability of containers, please
contact the manufacturer or supplier.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for microwave
use.
A microwave lid or cover
- 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 food with a microwave-safe lid.
Suitable covers are available from retail
outlets.
Alternatively, you can use cling film
recommended for use in a microwave
oven by the manufacturer. Normal cling
film may distort with the heat and fuse
with the food.
Suitable containers for microwave use
36
Damage caused by heat-
sensitive plastics.
The material of the microwave cover
must be able to withstand
temperatures of up to 110°C (see
manufacturer information). At higher
temperatures the plastic may distort
and fuse with the food.
Therefore the cover must only be
used in microwave ovens and only
with Microwave Solo mode without
the gourmet plate.
Damage due to covered
openings.
If a lid is used with a container which
only has a narrow diameter, the
cover could form a seal around the
container and there might not be
enough room for condensation to
escape through any holes in the top.
The cover could get too hot and start
to melt.
Make sure that the cover does not
form a seal.
Do not use a lid or cover when
- cooking food coated with
breadcrumbs.
- cooking meals which are to be given
a crisp finish, such as toast.
- the gourmet plate is being used.
Risk of explosion due to
pressure build-up.
Pressure can build up when
reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers, jars or bottles, which can
cause them to explode.
Sealed glass containers, such as jars
of baby food, must be opened before
they are placed in the microwave. Do
not attempt to heat them up
unopened. With baby bottles, the
screw top and teat must be taken
off.

The sensor on the control panel will
light up orange.
Use the arrow sensors to set the
cooking duration you want and
confirm your selection with OK.
Touch the sensor.
The cooking programme starts.
You can choose between 7power
levels.
The higher the power level, the more
microwaves reach the food.
When heating up food which cannot be
stirred or turned during cooking, as with
a plated meal, it is best to use a lower
microwave power level.
This ensures the heat is distributed
evenly. Heat for long enough to cook
the food properly.
The time required depends on:
- the initial temperature of the food.
Food taken straight from the
refrigerator takes longer to cook than
food which has been kept at room
temperature.
- the type and texture of the food.
Fresh vegetables contain more water
and cook more quickly than stored
vegetables.
- the frequency of stirring or turning
the food.
Frequent stirring or turning heats the
food more evenly, and it is therefore
ready in a shorter time.
- the amount of food.

Operation - Grilling
48
The grill has 4settings: Grill solo and
3combination settings where the grill is
used together with a specific
microwave power level.
If the total grilling duration required is
less than 15minutes, the grill should be
preheated for approx. 5minutes.
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.
Grilling times depend on the type and
thickness of the food and on the user's
preference for a rare, medium or well
done result.
When grilling directly on the rack, a
heat-resistant, microwave-safe
container should be placed underneath
the rack to catch any fat or juices.
Risk of damage due to
overheating.
The gourmet plate supplied is not
suitable for catching fat. It could
overheat when empty. This would
damage the coating.
Use a heat-resistant, microwave-safe
dish instead.
Place the food in a suitable dish.
Place the rack and a heat-resistant,
microwave-safe dish or the container
with the food to be cooked on the
turntable.
Danger of burning due to hot
dishes.
The rack and container will become
hot during cooking.
Wear oven gloves when removing
the dishes from the oven.
The container and grill rack will be
easier to clean if washed in soapy water
immediately after grilling.
The area on the ceiling around the grill
becomes discoloured over time. This is
an unavoidable consequence of use,
and does not impair the function of the
appliance in any way.

Gourmet plate
51
Instructions for use
Danger of burning due to hot
dishes.
The gourmet plate gets extremely hot
when in use.
Always use oven gloves when
handling it to avoid burns. Place it on
a suitable heat-resistant mat or pot
rest.
Before using for the first time
Before using the gourmet plate for the
first time, fill it with 400ml water and
add 2 to 3tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice.
Heat for 5minutes at 450W + Grill .
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.
Metallic or sharp objects can
damage the non-stick coating.
Therefore do not cut food up directly
on the plate.
Use wooden or plastic utensils to
mix or turn food.
Searing/browning food
Risk of fire from overheating.
Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to
overheat.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or
fats.
Only use very little oil when grilling
with this dish. The anti-stick coating
will prevent food from sticking to it,
and this way you can reduce the
amount of heated oil used.
When using the gourmet plate, make
sure that the food is ready to transfer
to the gourmet plate as soon as the
gourmet plate has heated up.
Place the gourmet plate directly on
the turntable.
Sparking can damage the gourmet
plate and the oven interior.
Do not place the gourmet plate on
the rack. Make sure there is a gap of
approx. 2cm between the gourmet
plate and the interior walls of the
microwave oven so that sparking
cannot occur.
Heat the plate up at 450W + Grill
for up to max. 5minutes.
Risk of damage due to
overheating.
Do not overheat the empty gourmet
plate. This would damage the
coating.
For this reason do not place the
gourmet plate under the rack to
catch the fat when grilling.
If using oil for grilling, 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.
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.
Gourmet plate
52
Always dry meat, poultry, fish and
vegetables thoroughly before placing
them on the gourmet plate.
Eggs can explode.
Do not use the gourmet plate to
cook eggs or reheat cooked eggs.

Reheating
70
Select the following microwave power
levels to reheat food:
Drinks 900W
Food 600W
Food for babies and
children
450W
Risk of burning due to hot food.
Food for babies and children must
not be too hot.
Reheat it for only 1/2 to 1 minute at
450 W.
Tips on reheating
Always use a lid or cover for reheating
food, except when a crispy finish is
required, e.g. crumbed poultry/meat.
Risk of explosion due to
pressure build-up.
Pressure can build up when
reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers, jars or bottles, which can
cause them to explode.
Sealed glass containers, such as jars
of baby food, must be opened before
they are placed in the microwave. Do
not attempt to heat them up
unopened. With baby bottles, the
screw top and teat must be taken
off.
Risk of injury from boiling liquids.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces
etc. using microwave power, the
boiling point of the liquid may be
reached without the production of
the typical bubbles. Liquids do 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, which 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.
Flash boiling can be avoided by
stirring liquids before heating them.
After heating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the
container from the oven. In addition,
a glass rod or similar item, if
available, can be placed in the
container during heating.
Eggs can explode.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in the
microwave, even without the shell.
Reheating
71
Food taken straight from the refrigerator
takes longer to reheat than food which
has been kept at room temperature.
The reheating time required depends on
the nature of the food, its initial
temperature and the amount to be
cooked.
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 larger amounts of food from
time to time during reheating. Stir the
food from the outside towards the
middle, as food heats more quickly
around the outside.
After reheating
Be careful when removing the dish
from the oven. It may be hot.
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.
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at
room temperature at the end of
cooking. This enables the heat to
spread evenly through the food.
Risk of burning due to hot food.
The food can be very hot after
reheating.
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.
Cooking
72
Place the food in a microwave-proof
dish and cover it.
When cooking, it is a good idea to
select a power level of 900 W to start
with, and when the food is hot reduce
the power level to 450 W for more
gentle continued cooking.
For dishes such as rice pudding or
semolina pudding, first select a power
level of 900W, and then reduce it to
150W for simmering.
Tips on cooking
Vegetable cooking durations depend on
the texture of the vegetables. 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 kept stored.
Food taken straight from the refrigerator
takes longer to cook than food which
has been kept at room temperature.
Stir or turn food from time to time
during cooking. This helps it cook more
evenly.
Health risk due to cooking time
being too short.
It is very important to make sure that
food which goes off easily, such as
fish, is cooked for a sufficient time.
When cooking these types of food,
ensure that the stated cooking
durations are observed.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes
and aubergines, should be pierced or
the skin scored in several places before
cooking to allow steam to escape and
to prevent the food from bursting.
Risk of injury from eggs with
shells.
Eggs heated in their shells can burst,
even after they have been taken out
of the oven.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device
available from specialist shops.
Risk of burning from eggs
without shells.
If you cook eggs without their shells
using microwave power, the yolks
could explode due to the resulting
pressure.
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave oven only if
the yolk membrane has been
punctured several times first.
After cooking
Be careful when removing the dish
from the oven. It may be hot.
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.
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at
room temperature at the end of
cooking. This enables the heat to
spread evenly through the food.
Defrosting
73
Health risk due to refreezing.
Thawed or defrosted food loses
nutritional value through refreezing
and can go off.
Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed. Use it as quickly as
possible. Defrosted food may only be
refrozen after it has been cooked.
Select the following microwave power
settings to defrost food:
- 80W
for defrosting very delicate food, e.g.
cream, butter, gateau and cheese.
- 150W
for defrosting other types of food.
Remove the food from its packaging
and place in a microwave-proof
container. Defrost uncovered. Turn, stir
or separate the food about halfway
through the defrosting time.
To defrost meat, unpack the frozen
meat and place it on an upturned plate
in a glass or porcelain container so that
the meat juice can run off and be
collected. Turn halfway through
defrosting.
Health risk due to risk of
salmonella.
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
poultry.
Do not use the liquid produced
during defrosting.
Meat and poultry need to be fully
defrosted before cooking.
Fish, on the other hand, can be partially
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently soft to
take herbs and seasoning.
Defrosting and cooking
Deep-frozen food can be defrosted and
immediately heated or cooked.
First select 900W followed by 450W.
Remove the food from its packaging
and place in a covered microwave-
proof dish for defrosting and reheating
or cooking. Exception: Minced meat
should be left uncovered while cooking.
Food with a high water content such as
soup, 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.
After defrosting and reheating or
cooking allow the food to stand at room
temperature for a few minutes to enable
the heat to spread evenly through the
food.
Bottling
74
You can preserve small portions of fruit,
vegetables and meat in microwave-safe
jars that are available from specialist
retailers. Prepare the jars in the usual
way.
Fill the jars no more than up to 2cm
below the rim.
Seal the microwave-safe preserving
jars with clear adhesive tape or clips
suitable for microwave use.
Never use metal clips, jars with
screw-on lids or cans in order to
prevent sparking.
For best results do not use more than
four
1
/
2
- litre jars at a time when
bottling.
Place the jars on the turntable.
Set to 900W and bring the jar
contents to the boil.
The time required depends on:
- the initial temperature of the
contents.
- the number of jars.
The amount of time required for the
contents in all jars to start bubbling
evenly is as follows:
1 jar approx. 3minutes
2 jars approx. 6minutes
3 jars approx. 9minutes
4 jars approx.
12minutes
This is sufficient time for bottling fruit
and cucumbers.
For vegetables, reduce the power to
450W once the produce starts boiling.
Cook
- carrots for approx. 15minutes
- peas for approx. 25 minutes.
After bottling
Remove jars from the oven, cover with
a towel and leave to stand in a draught-
free location for approx. 24hours.
Remove the clips or the adhesive tape
and make sure that all jars are sealed
properly.

Cleaning and care
76
Disconnect the microwave oven from
the power supply before cleaning.
Under no circumstances should a
steam cleaner be used to clean the
microwave oven.
The steam could reach live electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Oven interior and inside of the
door
Risk of burning due to hot oven
compartment.
The oven compartment may be too
hot to clean immediately after use.
Clean the oven interior once it has
cooled down.
Fire hazard due to excessive
soiling.
Excessive soiling could damage the
appliance in certain circumstances
and could even be dangerous due to
the fire risk.
Do not wait too long to clean the

unnecessarily difficult and in extreme
cases, impossible.
The microwave oven interior and door
interior 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.
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.
Do not remove the cover from the
microwave outlet inside the oven.
Do not let water or any object find its
way into or block the air vents of the
appliance.
Do not use too much water on the
cloth or sponge, otherwise water
may get into openings.
Do not use scouring agents. These
will scratch.
To neutralise odours in the microwave
oven, put a cup of water with some
lemon juice in the appliance and
simmer for a few minutes.
Cleaning and care

the selected cooking
duration.
The duration or power level were insufficient to cook
the food.
Check whether the correct power level was
selected for the duration set.
The lower the power level, the longer the duration
required.
Check whether the programme has been

Please observe the information on suitable
containers for microwave use.
The time of day in the
display is not accurate.
The time of day must be reset following an
interruption to the power supply.
Set the correct time of day.
Food cools down too
quickly.
In a microwave oven, food begins to cook from the
outside first, the inside of 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 hot on the outside but cold in the
centre. During standing time heat is transferred to the
centre of the food.
This may leave the food warm in the middle but
cool on the outside. When reheating food with
different densities, such as plated meals, it is
therefore recommended to select a lower power
level and lengthen the duration.
