Warning and Safety instructions
7
If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised technician to protect the user from danger.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system
complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the
domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be
maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.
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 mains 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. Compare this before
connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician
if in any doubt.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use them to
connect the appliance to the mains.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
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. 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 or incorrect repairs can cause considerable danger
to users. Repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised
technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department.
While the microwave oven is under warranty, repairs should only
be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise
the warranty is invalidated.
The microwave oven must be disconnected from the mains power
supply during repairs or cleaning and maintenance. 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.
Pull by the plug and not by the mains connection cable to
disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off.
– the mains screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable).
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine
original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must
only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the furniture
door while the appliance is in use. 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 front/door open until
the appliance has cooled down completely.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Correct use
Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.
The time required for this depends a number of factors, such as the
nature of the food, its initial temperature and the amount to be
cooked and recipe variations.
Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed
by thorough cooking at temperatures over 70°C for 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.
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 times 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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 or a suitable microwave browning dish
has been placed in the microwave oven and that the turntable is in
position before switching on.
Pressure can build up when reheating in sealed containers,
causing the container 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.
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 actual 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 preparing 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. Double check
after it has been left to stand.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc, 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, which can
lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of
burning.
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 appliance door if
there is smoke inside the oven compartment.
Interrupt the process by switching the microwave oven off using the
On/Offbutton and disconnect the plug 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-fat frying. Never attempt to put out oil or
fat fires with water. Switch the oven off and extinguish the flames by
leaving the door closed.
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 this can easily ignite. Fire hazard.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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, worktop 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 to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet.
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 or present
a fire risk.
Only those plastic disposable containers which are specified by the
manufacturer as suitable for use in a microwave oven may be used.
Do not leave the oven unattended when heating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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, such as bags for grilled
chicken for warming food in the microwave oven.
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, sausage,
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 with
microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow
recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If
the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used.
However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the
microwave oven.
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 cleaning appliance could reach live
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:
Adhesives will damage the coating of the stainless steel surface
and cause it to lose its dirt-repellent effect. 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.
Before using for the first time
15
After transportation, let the unpacked
appliance stand for approx. 2hours
at room temperature before using it.
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 due to
packaging material.
While 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 the packaging materials
from the appliance.
Do not remove the cover from the
microwave outlet inside the oven
compartment.
Check the appliance for any damage.
Health risk caused by a faulty
appliance.
Operating a damaged appliance can
result in microwave leakage and
present a hazard to the user.
Do not use the microwave oven 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 oven compartment and all
the accessories with sponge or cloth
and hot water.

appliance.
Before connecting the appliance,
ensure that it has not been damaged
in any way.
Never use a faulty appliance.
The appliance is supplied ready for
connection with a cable and plug.
Ensure that the protective contact
socket is easily accessible at all times.
If that is not possible, ensure that a
suitable means of disconnection is
provided on the installation side for
each pole.
Fire hazard due to 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.
These reduce the amount of energy
supplied to the appliance, causing it

For safety reasons, do not use an
extension lead or multi-socket plug
adapter.
Connect the appliance directly to the
power supply using the original cable
and do not use any intermediate
elements.
The electrical installation must comply
with VDE0100 requirements and local
regulations (e.g. BS 7671 in the UK).
If the connection cable is damaged, it
must only be replaced with a specific
connection cable of the same type
(available from the Miele Customer
Service Department). For safety
reasons, such replacement may only be
carried out by a qualified technician or
the Miele Customer Service
Department.
The necessary 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 electricity
supply. Make sure that they match.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation on
an autonomous power supply system or
a power supply system that is not
synchronised with the mains power
supply (e.g. island networks, back-up
systems) is possible. A prerequisite for
operation is that the power supply
system complies with the specifications
of EN50160 or an equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the
protective measures provided in the
domestic electrical installation and in
this Miele product must also be
maintained in isolated operation or in
operation that is not synchronised with
the mains power supply, or these
measures must be replaced by
equivalent measures in the installation.
As described, for example, in the
current version of
BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.
Caring for the environment
22
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material
reduces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will
take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the
environment if disposed of with
household waste or if handled
incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with
household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, with your dealer
or with Miele, free of charge. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the old
appliance prior to disposal. You are
legally obliged to remove any old
batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the appliance and to
remove any lamps without destroying
them, where this is possible. These
must be taken to a suitable collection
point where they can be handed in free
of charge. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored for disposal.

Description of function
29
The microwave oven contains a
magnetron. This converts electrical
energy into electromagnetic waves
(microwaves). These microwaves are
distributed evenly throughout the oven
compartment, 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. Do not,
therefore, use containers made of
metal, or which contain metal, for
example in the form of gold or silver
trim. The metal reflects 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 at a
rate of 2.5billion 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 reheated
or cooked.
As 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
30
Food is cooked, reheated or defrosted
quickly in a microwave oven.
You can use the microwave oven in the
following ways:
– Food can be defrosted, reheated or
cooked by entering a power setting and
a duration.
– Deep-frozen, ready meals can be
defrosted and then reheated 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
glazes and bottling small amounts of
fruit and vegetables.
Functions
Microwave Solo mode
Suitable for defrosting, reheating and
cooking.
Automatic programmes
You can choose from the following
automatic programmes:
You can choose from four different
automatic programme categories.
- Cook
- Defrost
- Reheat
- Popcorn
The programmes are weight dependent.
You can set the weight of food in grams
(g), pounds (lb) or pounds/ounces (lb/oz)
(see “Changing settings” section in the
“Settings” chapter).
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
31
Microwaves:
- are reflected by metal.
- pass through glass, porcelain, plastic
and cardboard.
- are absorbed by food.
Fire hazard due to unsuitable
container.
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.
Material and shape
The material and shape of the container
used affect reheating and cooking
durations. Round and oval-shaped shallow
containers are particularly suitable. Food
heats up more evenly in these containers
than in square containers.
Risk of injury due to hollow
handle elements and lid knobs.
When using containers with hollow
parts, moisture can get inside and
pressure can build up, causing the
container to crack or shatter.
Do not use containers with hollow
handle elements or lid knobs unless
the hollow parts are sufficiently
ventilated.
Metal
Metal containers, aluminium foil,
metal cutlery, and crockery with
metallic decoration, such as gold
rims or cobalt blue, must not be
used in the microwave oven. Metal
reflects microwaves and obstructs
the cooking process.
Do not use containers where the foil
lid has not been completely removed.
Exceptions:
- Ready meals in aluminium foil dishes.
These can be defrosted and reheated in
the microwave oven. 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 heated from
the top. Transferring the food from the
aluminium foil container to a dish
suitable for use in a microwave oven will
result in more even heat distribution.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
32
Please note that sparks and arcing
can occur when using aluminium foil
dishes in the microwave. If this
occurs transfer the food to a
microwave safe container.
- 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 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 colours
Some dishes have glazes and
colours containing metallic
substances. These dishes are
unsuitable for microwave ovens.
Glass
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic dishes
are ideal for use with microwave power.
Crystal glass is unsuitable as it
contains lead which could cause the
glass to crack in the microwave.
It is therefore not suitable.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
However do not use porcelain with gold
or silver edging or items with hollow
knobs or handles, as insufficient
ventilation may cause pressure.
Stoneware
Decorated stoneware is only suitable if
the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Stoneware can get hot.
Wear oven gloves.
Wood
Moisture contained in the wood
evaporates during the cooking
process. This causes the wood to
dry and crack.
Wooden dishes are therefore not
suitable.
Plastics
Damage due to heat-sensitive
plastic.
Plastic containers must be heat-
resistant to a minimum of 110°C.
Otherwise the plastic may warp and
fuse with the food.
Use only plastic containers suitable
for use with Microwave Solo.
Special plastic containers designed for
use in microwave ovens are available
from specialist retail outlets.
Melamine containers are unsuitable.
Melamine absorbs microwave energy
and gets hot. When purchasing plastic
containers, make sure that they are
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
33
suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used to reheat food for a short time.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should
be pierced beforehand. The holes
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 instructions given
on the packet.
Fire hazard due to unsuitable
material.
Metal clips and plastic or paper ties
containing wire can ignite.
Avoid using these clips and ties.
Single-use containers
Single-use containers made of plastic
must meet the requirements indicated
under “Plastics”.
Fire hazard due to unsuitable
container.
Single-use containers made of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials can ignite.
Do not leave the appliance
unattended when reheating or
cooking food in single-use
containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable materials.
To protect the environment, we do not
recommend the use of single-use
containers.
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 empty item you wish to test
in the centre of the oven
compartment.
Close the door.
Press the button.
Select the 900watt power level.
Use the arrow buttonsand to
set a duration of 30seconds and
confirm with OK.
Press button to start the test.
If you hear a crackling noise
accompanied by sparks during the
test, switch the appliance off
immediately (press the button and
confirm with OK). Any containers
which cause this reaction is
unsuitable for use with microwave
power. If in any doubt about the
suitability of a container, please
contact the manufacturer or supplier
of the container.
This test cannot be used to check
whether hollow handles are
sufficiently ventilated.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
34
A heat-retaining cover
- prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods with
longer reheating times.
- speeds up the reheating process.
- prevents food from drying out.
- helps keep the oven compartment
clean.
When using Microwave Solo mode,
always cover food with a microwave-
safe heat-retaining cover.
Suitable heat-retaining covers are
available from retail outlets.
You can use a cling film recommended
for use in a microwave oven instead of
the cover. Heat can cause normal cling
film to distort and fuse with the food.
Damage due to heat-sensitive
plastic.
The material of the cover can generally
withstand temperatures of up to
110°C (see manufacturer information).
At higher temperatures the plastic can
distort and fuse with the food.
The cover may therefore only be
used in microwave ovens and only in
Microwave Solo mode.
Damage due to covered
openings.
If the cover is used with a container
with a small diameter, the cover
could form a seal around the
container and steam may not be able
to escape through the openings in
the side of the cover. The cover
could get too hot and could start to
melt.
Make sure that the cover does not
form a seal.
Do not use a heat-retaining cover if:
- food coated with breadcrumbs is
being heated.
- cooking food which needs a crisp
finish, e.g. toast.
Danger of explosion due to
pressure build-up.
Pressure can build up during
reheating in sealed containers or
bottles, causing them to explode.
Sealed glass containers, such as jars
of baby food, must be opened before
they are heated in the microwave
oven. Do not attempt to heat them
up unopened. With baby bottles, the
screw top and teat must be taken
off.

Reheat
54
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.
Only heat it for 1/2 to 1minute at
450watts.
Tips on reheating
Always use a lid or cover when
reheating food, except when a crispier
finish is needed, e.g. food with a
breadcrumb coating.
Danger of explosion due to
pressure build-up.
Pressure can build up during
reheating in sealed containers or
bottles, causing them to explode.
Sealed glass containers, such as jars
of baby food, must be opened before
they are heated in the microwave
oven. Do not attempt to heat them
up unopened. With baby bottles, the
screw top and teat must be taken
off.
Risk of injury caused by
overboiling.
When heating 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 microwave 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 appliance door open.
A boiling delay can be avoided by
stirring liquids before reheating them.
After reheating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the
container from the oven
compartment. 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 using
the microwave oven, even without
the shell.
Reheat
55
Food taken straight from the refrigerator
takes longer to cook than food which is
at room temperature. The 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
from the outside.
After reheating
Be careful when taking out a
container. It may be hot.
Although the container is not normally
heated by the microwaves (apart from
stoneware), heat may transfer from the
food to the container.
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at
room temperature at the end of a
reheating process. This enables the
heat to spread evenly throughout 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
56
Place the food in a microwave safe
container and cover it.
When cooking, it is a good idea to
select a power level of 900W to start
with and then when the food is hot
reduce the power level to 450W for
more gentle continued cooking.
For dishes such as rice 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 vegetable. Fresh
vegetables contain more water than
vegetables which have been stored,
and usually cook more quickly. Add a
little water to vegetables which have
been stored.
Food taken straight from the refrigerator
takes longer to cook than food at room
temperature.
Stir or turn food from time to time
during cooking. This helps it cook more
evenly.
Health risk due to insufficient
cooking duration.
It is very important to make sure that
food which goes off easily, such as
fish, is cooked for a sufficient time.
Ensure that this type of food is
cooked for an appropriate length of
time.
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 due to eggs with
shells.
Eggs heated in their shells can burst,
even after they have been taken out
of the oven compartment.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling
device.
Risk of burning due to eggs
without shells.
If you cook eggs without their shells
using microwave power, the yolks
could explode due to the resulting
pressure.
Eggs can only be cooked without
their shells in the microwave oven if
the yolk membrane has been
punctured several times first.
After cooking
Be careful when removing a dish
from the oven. It may be hot.
Although heat is not normally produced
in the container itself by the
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 throughout the food.
Defrost
57
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
re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Select the following microwave power
levels for defrosting food:
- 80W
for defrosting very delicate food, e.g.
cream, butter, gateau and cheese.
- 150W
for defrosting everything else.
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, poultry and fish does not need to
be fully defrosted before cooking.
Defrost until the food has started to
thaw. The surface will then be
sufficiently thawed to absorb herbs and
seasoning.
Defrosting and cooking
Deep-frozen food can be defrosted and
immediately reheated 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 throughout
the food.

Cleaning and care
60
Disconnect the microwave oven from
the power supply before cleaning.
Under no circumstances should a
pressure cleaner be used to clean
the microwave oven.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance 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 compartment as
soon as 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
appliance as this will make cleaning
unnecessarily difficult and in extreme
cases, impossible.
The oven compartment and the inside
of the door can be wiped using a mild
detergent or a little washing-up liquid
and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
For heavier soiling, heat a glass of water
inside the oven compartment for 2 or
3minutes 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 to 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 and do
not let water or any other liquid find
its way into any openings.
Do not use scouring agents. These
will scratch.
To neutralise odours in the microwave
oven compartment, put a cup of water
with some lemon juice in the appliance
and simmer for a few minutes.
Cleaning and care
61
Health risk caused by a faulty
appliance.
If any damage to the door is noticed,
the appliance should not be used
until the fault has been rectified by a
Miele authorised and trained service
technician. Operating a damaged
appliance can result in microwave
leakage and present a hazard to the
user.
The door should be kept clean at all
times and checked at regular
intervals for any signs of damage. Do
not use the microwave oven 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.
To clean the interior:
Remove the turntable, and wash in
the dishwasher or by hand.
Always keep the roller ring
underneath it clean as well as the
oven floor. Otherwise the turntable
will not turn smoothly.
Clean the surfaces between the
turntable and the roller ring.
Do not turn the turntable and/or
locator manually, as this could
damage the drive motor.
Cleaning and care
62
Appliance front
Do not let water or any object find its
way into or block the air vents in the
door frame.
Soiling that is left too long might
become impossible to remove and
could cause the surfaces to alter or
discolour.
Remove any soiling on the front of
the appliance straight away.
Clean the appliance front with a clean
soft sponge and a solution of warm
water and washing-up liquid. After
cleaning, wipe dry using a soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfibre cloth without
cleaning agent can also be used.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass can in
some circumstances lead to
breakage.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
external surfaces.
Please observe the cleaning
instructions.
To avoid damaging the surfaces of
the appliance, do not use:
- detergents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or
pumice stones
- cleaning agents containing solvents
- stainless steel cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaner
- oven sprays
- glass cleaning agents
- hard, abrasive sponges and brushes,
e.g. pot scourers
- eraser stain remover blocks
- sharp metal scrapers
Problem solving guide
63
Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily
remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be
needed.
The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault,
and to correct it.
Problem Cause and remedy
A programme will not
start.
Check whether:
the appliance door is closed.
the system lock has been activated (see “System
lock” section in the “Operation” chapter).
Food in oven? has appeared in the display. The door
has not been opened for a long time (approx.
20minutes) (see “Food in oven?” section in the
“Operation” chapter).
the appliance is plugged into the electricity supply
and switched on at the socket.
the mains fuse has tripped. If it has, there could be
a fault with the appliance, the household electricity
supply or another appliance (disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply and contact a
qualified electrician or the Miele Customer Service
Department, see “Customer service” chapter).
A noise can be heard
after a cooking
programme.
This is not a fault. The cooling fan will continue to
run for a while after the oven has been switched off
to prevent any humidity building up in the oven
compartment, on the control panel or on the oven
housing unit. It will switch off automatically.
The display does not
light up.
The time of day display has been switched off.
Switch on the appliance using the On/Off
button.
The turntable does not
turn smoothly.
The area underneath the turntable could be dirty.
Check whether there is any soiling underneath the
turntable.
Check whether the surfaces between the turntable
and the roller ring are clean.
Clean the area underneath the turntable.
Problem solving guide

Food cools down too
quickly.
In the 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.
When reheating food with different densities, such
as plated meals, it is therefore sensible to select a
lower power level and lengthen the duration
required.
