requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should
be 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.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the microwave oven must match the domestic electrical supply in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the microwave oven. Compare
this before connecting the appliance to the domestic electrical
supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Power bars and extension cords do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance. Do not use these to connect the microwave
oven to the power supply.
For safety reasons, only use the microwave oven when it has been
fully installed.
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.,
on a ship).
Risk of injury due to electric shock. 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 microwave oven housing under any circumstances.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician authorized by Miele Customer

power cord by a Miele authorized technician (see “Installation –
Electrical connection”).
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the microwave
oven must be completely disconnected from the power supply. To
ensure this:
- The circuit breakers have been switched off, or
- the fuses of the electrical installation have been completely
removed, or
- the plug (if present) is removed from the outlet. To do this, pull the
plug not the cord.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
The microwave oven requires a sufficient supply of cool air for
efficient operation. Make sure that the supply of cool air is not
hindered in any way (e.g., by installing heat insulation strips in the
cabinet niche). In addition, the required supply of cool air must not
be excessively heated by other heat sources.
If the microwave oven is built in behind a cabinet door front, do
not close the cabinet door while the microwave oven is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind the cabinet door when closed.
This can result in damage to the microwave oven, cabinet niche, and
floor. Leave the cabinet door front open until the microwave oven
has cooled down completely.
Correct use
Do not let food sit in the oven for an extended period of time
before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
Never store flammable liquids and materials in, above or under the
microwave oven.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
This microwave oven must only be used for cooking food.
Corrosive chemicals and vapors as well as 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.
To avoid fueling any flames, do not open the microwave 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.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
microwave oven could catch fire. Do not use the microwave oven to
heat up the room.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Oils and fats are a fire hazard if allowed to overheat. Never leave
the microwave oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Never
attempt to put out oil or fat fires with water. Turn the microwave oven
off and extinguish the flames by leaving the door closed.
Fire hazard. If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that
high temperatures can cause the alcohol to evaporate. The vapor
can catch fire on hot surfaces.
Do not heat undiluted alcohol in the appliance.
Food which is stored in the oven interior or left there to be kept
warm can dry out, and the moisture released can lead to corrosion
damage in the microwave oven. The control panel, countertop and
surrounding cabinetry can also be damaged.
Always cover food that is left in the appliance.
The microwave oven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting
items. Items can get extremely hot. There is a risk of burning when
items are removed from the microwave oven.
Always ensure that food is sufficiently heated.
Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the type,
amount and nature of the food, its initial temperature, and changes
to the recipe. Some foods may contain microorganisms which are
only destroyed by thorough cooking. Therefore, when cooking or
reheating food, it is particularly important that food is heated at
adequate temperatures for a sufficient amount of time. When in
doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
You can ensure this 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting
in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than in the
case of traditional methods of food preparation. Excessively long
cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or may even
cause it to catch fire.
Do not dry bread, rolls, flowers, herbs, etc., in the microwave oven
as these could also catch fire.
When heating food, and in particular liquids, using microwave
power, the boiling point may be reached without the typical bubbles
being produced. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This
boiling delay can result in the liquid boiling over explosively. Take
care when taking the container out of the microwave oven, as the
hot liquid can cause severe scalding. Under certain circumstances,
the pressure can be so high that the door opens automatically.
Stir liquids well before heating or cooking. After heating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the container from the microwave oven.
In addition, you can place a glass rod or similar item, if available, in
the container during the heating process.
Risk of injury caused by hot food. When you heat food up, the
heat is created directly in the food itself. For this reason, the
dishware will remain cooler than the food (except when you use
ovenproof stoneware). The dishware 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 oven. The temperature of the container
is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This
is particularly important when preparing food for babies,
children, and the elderly or infirm. After heating food, especially
food for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the
container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger
of burning. Double check after it has been left to stand.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
Risk of injury from increased pressure in sealed containers or
bottles. Pressure can build up when reheating food or drinks in
sealed containers or bottles, which can cause them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand and with baby bottles, the screw top
and nipple must be removed.
If you cook eggs without their shells, the yolks could explode due
to the resulting pressure.
Prick the yolk several times before cooking to avoid this.
Eggs heated in their shell can burst, even after they have been
removed from the microwave 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 eggplant can burst when heated or cooked.
Pierce or score the skin of these foods several times to allow steam
to escape.
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.
Cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, gel, etc., 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15
Moisture can collect in the hollow spaces on dishware and lids
with hollow handles or knobs. When the moisture evaporates,
pressure can build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess
is sufficiently ventilated, the item can be used.
Do not use dishware with hollow knobs or handles.
Non-microwave-safe plastic dishes can suffer damage or damage
the microwave oven.
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 bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the
foil lid only partially removed (see the requirements specified for
dishware in the section on microwave operation).
Fire hazard due to containers made of flammable materials.
Plastic disposable containers must meet the requirements specified
for dishware in the section on microwave operation.
Do not leave the microwave oven unattended when heating or
cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper, or
other flammable materials.
Heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminum foil
that reflects microwave radiation. As a result, the paper surrounding
the aluminum foil can become so hot that it combusts.
Do not use heat-retaining packaging, such as bags for roasted
chicken, for warming food.
If the microwave oven is used without food or the food is loaded
incorrectly, the appliance can become damaged.
Do not use the microwave oven to preheat dishware or to dry herbs.
Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door. Do not leave the door open unnecessarily.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
16
The door can support a maximum load of 17.5lbs (8kg). Do not
lean or sit on an open door, or place heavy items on it. Make sure
that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven
compartment. This could damage the microwave oven.
The following applies to stainless steel surfaces:
Adhesives will damage the coated stainless steel surface and
cause it to lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky
notes, adhesive tape, or other types of adhesive on the stainless
steel surface.
Magnets can cause scratches. Do not use the stainless steel
surface as a magnetic notice board.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
17
Cleaning and care
Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause
a short circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning.
Risk of burns. The appliance interior can get hot during use.
Clean the appliance interior and accessories as soon as they have
cooled down. Waiting too long can make cleaning unnecessarily
difficult and, in extreme cases, impossible.
Risk of fire. Under certain conditions, strong grease and gunk
buildup can damage the appliance and even be dangerous.
Follow the instructions on cleaning in "Cleaning and care".
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.
Try to prevent the interior walls being splashed with food
containing salt. If this does happen, wipe it away thoroughly to avoid
corrosion to stainless steel surfaces inside the oven compartment.
In warm, moist environments, there is a higher probability of pest
infestations. Ensure the microwave oven and the area surrounding it
are always kept clean.
Damage caused by pests is not covered by the warranty.
Accessories
Only use original Miele accessories. Using parts or accessories
from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele
cannot accept liability.

Microwave operation

How it works
The microwave oven contains a
magnetron that converts electrical
energy into electromagnetic waves
(microwaves). These microwaves are
distributed evenly throughout the oven
compartment and are also reflected by
the metal walls inside the oven.
The microwaves penetrate the food
from all sides. Food consists of many
molecules. When subjected to
microwave energy, these molecules
(particularly the water molecules) start
to oscillate. This heats the food from
the outside to the inside. The more
water a food contains, the faster it is
reheated or cooked.
Advantages of the microwave oven
- Food can generally be cooked with
little or no liquid or cooking oil.
- The times for defrosting, reheating, or
cooking are shorter than with a
cooktop or oven.
- Vitamins, minerals, natural color, and
taste of the food are generally
retained.
Suitable dishware
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate the
dishware being used. Microwaves can
pass through porcelain, glass,
cardboard, and plastics, but not metal.
Therefore, do not use metal containers
or dishware that contains metal. Metal
reflects the microwaves which can
create sparks and the microwaves are
not absorbed by the metal.
Danger of injury from increased
pressure in sealed containers or
bottles
Pressure can build up when
reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers or bottles, which can
cause them to explode.
Never cook or reheat solid or liquid
food in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand and,
with baby bottles, remove the screw
top and teat.
Risk of fire due to unsuitable
dishware
Dishware that is not microwave-safe
can be destroyed and may damage
the microwave oven.
Only use microwave-safe dishware in
the microwave oven.
The material and shape of dishware
used affect reheating and cooking
durations.
Heat distribution is more even in round
and oval-shaped flat containers. Food is
reheated more evenly in these
containers than in square ones.
Microwave operation
34
Suitable dishware
Fire hazard due to flammable
materials
Disposable containers made out of
plastic, paper, or other flammable
materials can ignite, causing damage
to the microwave oven.
Do not leave the microwave oven
unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper, or
other flammable materials.
You can use the following dishware and
materials:
- Heat-resistant glass and ceramic
glass
Exception: crystal glass as it contains
lead and may crack.
- Porcelain
– Without metallic decoration
Metallic decoration (e.g., gold rims
or cobalt blue) can cause sparking.
– Without hollow knobs and handles
Moisture can gather in hollow
knobs and handles. When the
moisture evaporates, pressure can
build up and the item can explode.
- Unpainted stoneware and stoneware
with underglaze paints
Danger of injury caused by hot
dishware.
Stoneware can get hot.
Use pot holders when using
stoneware.
- Plastic dishware and disposable
plastic containers
Tip: To protect the environment, avoid
the use of disposable containers.
Plastic dishware and bags that are
not heat-resistant may melt and fuse
with the food inside.
Only use plastic dishware or bags that
are heat-resistant. Plastic dishware
and bags must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 230°F (110°C).
- Microwave-safe plastic dishware
Special plastic dishware designed for
use in microwave ovens is available
from retail outlets.
- Styrofoam dishware
For briefly heating food.
- Plastic boiling bags
For cooking and reheating. They
should be pierced before use. 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.
- Roasting bags and tubes
Please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Risk of fire due to metal parts.
Metal parts such as metal clips or
plastic and paper ties that have wire
running through them can heat
flammable materials until they burn.
Do not use metal clips or plastic and
paper ties containing wire.
Microwave operation
35
Tip: Metallic dishes are not very
suitable for use in the microwave oven.
Metal reflects microwaves and
obstructs the cooking process.
Using aluminum foil trays and
aluminum foil can cause crackling
and sparks.
Place aluminum foil trays on the
turntable.
Aluminum foil and aluminum foil
trays must not touch the oven
compartment walls and must remain
at least 3/4" (2cm) from the walls at
all times.
- Aluminum foil trays without lids for
defrosting and reheating TV dinners
The food is only heated from the top.
If you remove the food from the
aluminum foil container and transfer it
to dishware suitable for use in a
microwave oven, the heat distribution
will generally be more even.
- Metal skewers or clips
The size of the cut of meat must be
much larger than the metal skewers
and clips.
Unsuitable dishware
Moisture can collect in the hollow
spaces on dishware and lids with
hollow handles or knobs. When the
moisture evaporates, pressure can
build up and the item can explode. If
the hollow recess is sufficiently
ventilated, the item can be used.
Do not use dishware with hollow
knobs or handles for cooking.
Do not use the following dishware and
material:
- Wire racks are not at all suitable for
use in the microwave.
- Metal containers
- Aluminum foil
Exception: in the case of unevenly
shaped cuts of meat – e.g., poultry –
small pieces of aluminum foil may be
used to cover thin parts for the last
few minutes of the process to ensure
even defrosting, reheating, or
cooking.
- Metal clips, or plastic or paper ties
containing wire
- Plastic containers where the
aluminum lid has not been
completely removed
- Crystal glass
- Utensils and dishware with metallic
decoration (e.g., gold rims, cobalt
blue)
- Dishware with hollow handles
- Plastic dishware made of melamine
Melamine absorbs microwave energy
and gets hot.
Microwave operation
36
When purchasing plastic dishware,
make sure that it is suitable for use in
a microwave oven.
- Wooden dishes
Water contained in wood evaporates
during the cooking process. This
causes the wood to dry and crack.
Testing dishware
Unsuitable dishware can cause sparks
or crackling noises during microwave
operation. If you are not sure whether
glass, porcelain, or stoneware dishware
is suitable, test it.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow grips or
handles are suitable for use.
Place the empty dishware on the
turntable.
Close the door.
Set the microwave power level to
(900W) and the cooking duration to
30seconds.
Start the process.
Observe the dishware during the
entire duration.
Immediately open the door if there
are sparks or crackling noises.
If there are sparks or if you can hear
crackling noises, the tested dishware is
not suitable for microwave use.
Cover
Tip: Covers are available from retail
outlets.
- A cover prevents too much steam
escaping, especially when cooking
foods which need longer to cook.
- It speeds up the process of heating
the food.
- It prevents food from drying out.
- It helps keep the oven compartment
clean.
When cooking in the microwave, use
a microwave-safe cover made of
glass or plastic.
Tip: Alternatively, use a cling film
suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Heat can cause normal cling film to
melt and fuse with the food.
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the container
has a narrow diameter, the steam
may not be able to escape. The
cover could get too hot and start to
melt.
Use containers with a sufficiently
large diameter.
Do not use a cover for heating or
reheating the following types of food:
- Food coated in breadcrumbs
- Food which requires a crisp finish,
e.g., toast

Tips for cooking with the
microwave
- You can choose from 7different
microwave power levels. The higher
the power level, the more microwaves
reach the food.
- When heating up foods that cannot
be stirred or turned during cooking,
or foods with very different
consistencies, it is best to use a
lower microwave power level. This
ensures that the heat is distributed
evenly.
Extend the cooking duration
accordingly to cook the food
properly.
- Food taken straight from the
refrigerator takes longer to defrost,
reheat, and cook than food which has
been kept at room temperature.
- Fresh vegetables contain more water
and cook more quickly than stored
vegetables.
- Frequent stirring or turning heats the
food more evenly, and it is therefore
ready in less time.
- The more food you place inside the
oven, the longer it will take to cook
(twice the amount = almost twice as
long). Reducing the quantity of food
shortens the cooking duration.
- The shape of the dishware and
material from which it is made may
affect the cooking duration (see
“Microwave operation – Suitable
dishware”).
Using the turntable
Placing food directly on the floor of
the oven can cause damage to the
microwave oven.
Always use the turntable, placing the
dishware on top.
The turntable begins turning
automatically whenever you start a
process. This ensures that the food
gets defrosted, reheated, or cooked
evenly.
Tips
- Do not place food directly on the
turntable when cooking, reheating, or
defrosting.
- Make sure that the dishware is
smaller than the turntable.
- Turn or stir food during cooking so
that it heats up evenly.
Switch on the microwave oven.
Select Operating Mode appears.

This section provides information on the
following applications:
- Defrost
- Reheat
- Cooking
- Canning
Defrost
Gentle defrosting of frozen food means
that the vitamins and minerals are
generally retained.
Use the More| Defrost mode or
the following microwave power
levels:
- Microwave power level (80W)
For defrosting very delicate food,
e.g., cream, butter, gateau,
buttercream cake, and cheese
- Microwave power level (150W)
For defrosting everything else
When using this mode, enter the
weight or – if you have selected a
microwave power level – the
defrosting duration.
Always observe USDA/CFIA food
safety guidelines.
Risk of infection from bacteria.
Bacteria such as salmonella can
cause life-threatening food
poisoning.
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
fish and meat, and in particular when
defrosting poultry.
Do not use the liquid produced
during defrosting.
Process the food as required as soon
as it has been defrosted.
Tips for defrosting
- Only use dishware that is microwave
safe.
- Remove the frozen food from its
packaging and defrost uncovered.
- Place frozen meat on an upturned
plate inside a glass or porcelain
container. This way the frozen food
will not be lying in the defrosted
liquid.
- Turn, separate, or stir the food about
halfway through the defrosting time.
- Meat, poultry, or 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 take herbs and
seasoning.
Additional applications
57
Tips for combining the Defrost
function with subsequent reheating/
cooking
Frozen food can be defrosted and
then reheated or cooked in the
microwave as well.
The time required depends on the
nature of the food, its initial
temperature, and the amount to be
cooked.
- Take the food out of its packaging
and place it inside a microwave-safe
dish.
- Cover the food.
Exception: chopped steak should be
left uncovered during cooking.
- Select microwave power level
(900W) first, followed by microwave
power level (450W).
- If the food has a high water content
(e.g., soups and vegetables), stir it
several times during cooking.
- Carefully separate and turn slices of
meat halfway through.
- Turn pieces of fish at the halfway
stage.
- Allow food to stand at room
temperature after defrosting and then
reheating/cooking it. This standing
time allows the heat to spread more
evenly throughout the food.
Using the Defrostmode
There are 13defrosting categories
covering different types of food. The
standing time for each one is approx.
10minutes.

Reheat
It is essential that the information in
“IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– Correct use” is observed.
Always observe USDA/CFIA food
safety guidelines.
Danger of injury caused by hot
food.
If food for babies and children is
heated at too high a temperature,
they can burn themselves.
Only heat food for babies and
children for 30–60seconds at
microwave power level (450W).
After heating food – especially food
for babies and small children – stir
the food or shake the container, and
then taste the food to make sure it
will not burn the mouths of the
children.
Danger of injury from increased
pressure in sealed containers or
bottles
Pressure can build up when
reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers or bottles, which can
cause them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers or bottles. Open
containers beforehand and, with
baby bottles, remove the screw top
and teat.
Danger of injury caused by hot
liquids.
When using the microwave oven to
heat food, particularly liquids, the
boiling point may be reached without
the typical bubbles being produced.
The liquid does not boil evenly
throughout.
This boiling delay can result in the
liquid boiling over explosively. Take
care when taking the container out of
the oven, as the hot liquid can cause
severe scalding. Under certain
circumstances, the pressure can be
so high that the door bursts open.
Stir liquids well before heating or
cooking.
After heating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the
container from the oven.
In addition, you can place a glass
rod or similar item, if available, in the
container during the heating process.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, potatoes,
and eggplant can burst when heated
or cooked.
Pierce or score the skin of these
foods several times to allow steam to
escape.
Eggs heated in their shell can burst,
even after they have been removed
from 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.
Additional applications
59
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The microwave oven gets hot during
operation. There is a risk of burning
yourself on the hot oven
compartment, dishware, or food.
Spots of condensation may form on
the bottom of the dishware.
Wear oven gloves when reaching into
the hot oven compartment and when
removing the dishware.
Tips on reheating
- Only use dishware that is microwave
safe.
- Always cover food when reheating it,
except when reheating food coated in
breadcrumbs.
- The time required depends on the
nature of the food, its initial
temperature, and the amount to be
cooked. For example, food taken
straight from the refrigerator takes
longer to reheat than food which has
been kept at room temperature. Take
note of the standing times.
- Turn, separate, or stir the food several
times. Stir the food from the outside
toward the middle, as food heats up
more quickly at the edges.
- The purpose of the standing time is
to allow the food to develop a more
even temperature.
- After reheating, allow the food to
stand at room temperature for a few
minutes to enable the heat to spread
more evenly throughout the food.

Cooking
It is essential that the information in
“IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– Correct use” is observed.
Risk of infection due to
insufficient cooking
Highly perishable foods – e.g., fish –
must be cooked thoroughly.
Otherwise, they can pose a health
risk.
It is essential to cook highly
perishable foods for a sufficient
length of time.
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The microwave oven gets hot during
operation. There is a risk of burning
yourself on the hot oven
compartment, dishware, or food.
Spots of condensation may form on
the bottom of the dishware.
Wear oven gloves when reaching into
the hot oven compartment and when
removing the dishware.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, potatoes,
and eggplant can burst when heated
or cooked.
Pierce or score the skin of these
foods several times to allow steam to
escape.
Eggs heated in their shell can burst,
even after they have been removed
from 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.
If you cook eggs without their shells,
there is a risk of the yolks exploding
due to the resulting pressure.
Prick the yolk several times before
cooking to avoid this.
Tips for cooking
- Only use dishware that is microwave
safe.
- Always use a cover.
- The time required depends on the
nature of the food, its initial
temperature, and the amount to be
cooked. For example, food taken
straight from the refrigerator takes
longer to cook than food which has
been kept at room temperature. Take
note of the standing times.
- Fresh vegetables contain more water
than vegetables which have been
stored, and usually cook more
quickly. Add 3–4tbsp of water to
vegetables which have been stored.
- Turn, separate, or stir the food several
times. Stir the food from the outside
toward the middle, as food heats up
more quickly at the edges.
Additional applications
62
- The purpose of the standing time is
to allow the food to develop a more
even temperature.
- After cooking, allow the food to stand
at room temperature for a few
minutes to enable the heat to spread
more evenly throughout the food.
- If possible, use the automatic
programs for cooking.
- Select microwave power level
(900W) to start cooking and then
continue cooking at power level
(450W).
- When cooking foods that swell, such
as rice pudding or semolina, start
with microwave power level
(900W) and then switch to power
level (150W).
Canning
Risk of infection from bacteria.
The spores of the botulinum
bacterium are not sufficiently killed
by canning pulses and meat only
once. Toxins may form which can
lead to serious poisoning. These
spores are only destroyed by
canning the food again.
After they have cooled down, always
reheat pulses and meat a second
time within 2days.
If unsuitable materials are used,
there is a risk of generating sparks
and damaging the microwave oven
as a result.
Use microwave-safe canning jars
and seal them with clear adhesive
tape or clips suitable for microwave
use.
Do not use metal clips, jars with
screw-top lids, or cans, as these will
generate sparks.
Always observe USDA/CFIA food
safety guidelines.
Additional applications
63
Preparing fruit and vegetables
The instructions are for a maximum of
4jars with a capacity of 2cups (0.5l)
each.
Only use special jars from a specialist
retailer (microwave-safe canning jars
with glass lids, sealed with clear
adhesive tape).
Only use undamaged jars.
Rinse the jars with hot water before
canning and fill them up to a
maximum of 3/4" (2cm) below the
rim.
Seal the jars with clear adhesive tape
only.
Do not use metal clips, jars with
screw-top lids, or cans, as these will
generate sparks.
Place the jars on the turntable.
Canning fruit and vegetables
Select microwave power level
(900W).
Wait until bubbles rise evenly in the
jars. This takes about 3minutes per
jar. With 4jars, therefore, it takes
12minutes.
This is sufficient time for canning fruit
and cucumbers.
When canning other vegetables,
reduce the microwave power level to
microwave power level (450W)
as soon as bubbles become visible in
the jars.
Continue cooking at microwave
power level (450W) for approx.
15minutes if canning carrots and for
approx. 25minutes if canning peas.
Removing the jars after canning
Danger of injury caused by hot
surfaces
The jars will be very hot after
canning.
Use oven gloves when removing the
jars from the oven.
Take the jars out of the oven.
Cover the jars with a towel and leave
to stand for approx. 24hours in a
draft-free area.
After they have cooled down, always
reheat pulses and meat a second
time within 2days.
Remove the clips or the adhesive
tape and then make sure that all jars
are sealed properly.
Either boil open jars again or store
them in a cool place and consume the
canned fruit or vegetables
immediately.
Check the jars during storage. If jars
have opened during storage or if the
screw cap is bulging and does not
make a popping noise when opened,
destroy the contents.
Cleaning and care
64
Danger of injury caused by hot
surfaces
The microwave oven gets hot during
operation. There is a risk of burning
yourself on the hot oven
compartment or accessories.
Allow the oven compartment and
accessories to cool before manual
cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock
The steam from a steam cleaner
could reach live electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Never use a steam cleaner for
cleaning.
Fire hazard due to excessive
soiling
Under certain circumstances heavy
soiling can catch fire, damaging the
the microwave oven.
Clean the oven compartment and
inside of the door as soon as they
have cooled. Waiting too long to
clean the oven will make it much
more difficult to clean.
All surfaces could become
discolored or damaged if unsuitable
cleaning agents are used. The front
of the microwave oven is particularly
susceptible to damage from oven
cleaners.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass can
lead to breakage in some
circumstances.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Operating a damaged microwave
oven can result in microwave
leakage and present a hazard to the
user.
Check the door for damage. If any
damage is seen, the microwave oven
should not be used again until it has
been repaired by a service
technician. Contact Miele.
Cleaning and care
65
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
- Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids, or chlorides
- Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents on the front
- Abrasive cleaning agents
(e.g.,powder cleaners and cream
cleaners)
- Solvent-based cleaning agents
- Stainless-steel cleaners
- Dishwasher cleaning agents
- Oven cleaners
- Glass cleaners
- Cleaning agents for ceramic-glass
cooktops
- Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g.,pot scourers, brushes, or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents)
- Eraser sponges
- Sharp metal scrapers
- Steel wool
- Spot cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
- Stainless-steel spiral pads
If soiling is allowed to sit for any length
of time, it may become impossible to
remove. If the appliance is used
frequently without being cleaned, it
may become very difficult to clean.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Removing soiling
Moisture inside the microwave oven
can cause damage.
Do not use too much water on the
cloth or sponge and do not let water
or any other liquid find its way into
any internal oven openings.
Remove soiling immediately with
warm water, liquid dish soap, and a
clean sponge or a clean, damp
microfiber cloth.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
thoroughly with clean water.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
- For heavier soiling, heat a glass of
water inside the oven compartment
for 2–3minutes until the water begins
to boil. The steam will collect on the
oven compartment walls and soften
the soiling. You will then be able to
remove the soiling (using a little dish
detergent if necessary).
- To neutralize odors in the oven
compartment, put a container of
water with some lemon juice inside
the microwave oven and heat for a
few minutes.
Cleaning and care

To remove the turntable, press down
on one side (1.) and lift it up by the
other (2.).
Wash the turntable in the dishwasher
or by hand with a weak solution of
dish detergent.

Remove the support on which the
turntable normally rotates.
Clean the support and the floor of the
oven. Otherwise the turntable will not
rotate smoothly.
Clean the contact surfaces between
the turntable and the support.
Put the support back inside and
place the turntable on top.

Problem Possible cause and solution
The microwave oven
has switched itself off.
There is insufficient air circulation.
Check whether the vents are blocked.
Remove the obstructions, if applicable.
For safety reasons, the microwave oven is designed
to switch off if it overheats.
Resume the cooking process once the oven has
cooled down.
The microwave oven keeps switching itself off.
Contact Miele Customer Service.
The food has not been
defrosted, heated, or
cooked sufficiently on
completion of the
cooking process.
Check whether the cooking process was interrupted
without restarting it.
Restart the cooking process to ensure the food
gets defrosted, heated, or cooked properly.
The cooking duration you set was too short.
Check that the correct duration is selected for the
microwave power level. The lower the microwave
power level, the longer the duration required.
Food has cooled down
too quickly after being
reheated or cooked
using microwave power.
In the microwave, 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
microwave power level, it is possible that the heat
may not have reached the center of the food, so it is
hot on the outside but cold in the centre. During the
standing time, the heat is transferred to the center of
the food.
When reheating food with different densities, such
as with menu cooking, it is sensible to start with a
low microwave power level and select a longer
reheating duration.
The oven interior
lighting does not switch
on.
The lamp is faulty. You can operate the appliance as
usual, but the lamp has blown.
