This microwave oven complies with current safety requirements.

Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and

material damage.

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the

appliance. They contain important information on safety,

installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal

injury and damage to the appliance.

In accordance with standard IEC/EN60335-1, Miele expressly and

strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the

chapter on installing the appliance as well as the safety

instructions and warnings.

Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-

compliance with these instructions.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any

future owner.

Correct application

 This microwave oven is intended for private domestic use.

This appliance is not intended for outdoor use.

 Do not use the appliance at altitudes of above 2000m.

 The microwave oven is intended for domestic use only to cook,

defrost and to reheat food. Any other use is not permitted.

 Do not use the microwave oven to store or dry items which could

ignite easily. If such items were dried in the microwave oven, the

moisture in the item would evaporate causing it to dry out and even

self-ignite. Never use the microwave oven to store or dry items which

could ignite easily.

 This microwave oven can only be used by people with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and

knowledge if they are supervised whilst using it. They may only use it

unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way.

They must be able to recognise and understand the consequences

of incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

 The oven compartment is fitted with a special lamp to cope with

particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,

abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used

for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room

lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised

technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department.

 The microwave oven contains 1light source corresponding to

energy efficiency classE.

Safety with children

 Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the

appliance unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children aged eight and older may only use the microwave oven

without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe

manner. Children must be able to recognise and understand the

potential risks of improper use.

 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance

unsupervised.

 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the microwave

oven. Never allow children to play with the appliance.

 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children could become

entangled in packaging (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their

head and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children.

 Danger of burning. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high

temperatures than that of adults. When grilling with or without the

microwave function, the oven interior, grill element and door can get

hot. Do not let children touch the microwave oven when it is in

operation.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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 EN50160 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

 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

 The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.

on a ship).

Correct use

 Risk of burning due to the grill.

When grilling with or without the microwave function, the

microwave oven can get hot. You could burn yourself on the oven

compartment, the grill element, food, accessories or the appliance

door.

Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or

removing it and when working in the hot oven compartment.

 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

10minutes. 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

 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.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 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 20seconds

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 inside the appliance.

Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect

it from the mains electricity supply.

Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

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 10years and up to 15years 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 glass tray get hot during grilling (with and without the

microwave function).

Danger of burning.

 Do not use the gourmet plate together with a commercially

available, microwave-safe heat-retaining cover because the cover

will get too hot.

Before using for the first time

After transportation, let the unpacked

appliance stand for approx. 2hours

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 or the film on the

inside of the door.

 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.

 Stick the enclosed short instructions

to the frame behind the door as

illustrated, making sure they do not

block any of the vents.

Electrical connection

 Risk of injury caused by a faulty

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

to overheat.

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 VDE0100 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 EN50160 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

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

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 2.5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 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

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.

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:

- 5defrosting programmes

(A1toA5)

- 4cooking programmes for frozen

food

(A6toA9)

- 8cooking programmes for fresh food

(A10toA17)

These programmes are weight

dependent. You enter the weight of the

food and then the cooking duration is

calculated automatically.

The weight of the food can be

displayed as metric (g) or imperial (lb)

(see “Changing settings”).

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

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 2cm 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

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 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

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.

 Select the maximum power level.

 Confirm the flashing 0 for the minutes

with OK.

 Use the arrow buttonsand to

enter 30seconds and confirm the

entry with OK.

 Press the Start button.

If you hear a crackling noise

accompanied by sparks during the

test, switch the appliance off

immediately (touch the Stop/

Cbutton twice). 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

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 heat-retaining 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 can therefore only be used

in microwave ovens and only in

Microwave Solo mode without the

gourmet plate.

 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.

- the gourmet plate is being used.

 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.

Before using for the first time

The microwave oven must be built in

before it can be operated.

The microwave oven is ready to use

as soon as it has been connected to

the electricity supply.

middle of the oven.

Turntable

If the appliance is built-in or installed

at a height of 900mm or higher above

floor level, please make sure the

turntable does not slip when removing

dishes from the cabinet.

The turntable helps the food to cook,

reheat or defrost evenly.

Do not operate the microwave

without the turntable in place.

The turntable starts turning

automatically when the appliance is

operated.

Do not cook, reheat or defrost food

directly on the turntable. Check that the

dish is not larger in size than the

turntable.

Turn or stir food during cooking, or turn

the dish so that it heats up evenly.

Closing the door

 Push the door shut.

Press the Start button again to resume

an interrupted cooking programme.

The appliance will not start again if

the door has not been closed

properly.

Starting a programme

Select a microwave power level by

pressing the corresponding sensor

control.

 Touch the sensor control for the

power level you want.

 and the microwave power level will

light up in the display.

 Use the arrow buttons to set the

cooking duration you want (minutes

first) and confirm your selection with

OK.

 Then set the seconds and confirm

again with OK.

 Press the button.

The cooking programme starts.

You can choose between 7power

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 duration can be selected up to

90minutes. Exception: If the maximum

microwave power level has been

selected, a maximum cooking duration

of 15minutes can be set. If you then

continue to use the appliance at full

power, the power level may reduce, and

this is indicated in the display

(overheating protection).

Operation

The duration required depends on:

- the initial temperature of the food.

Food taken straight from the

refrigerator takes longer to heat or

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.

As a general rule, allow almost

double the time for double the

quantity

and for a smaller quantity, shorten

the duration accordingly.

- the shape and material of the

container.

“door” message

The “door” message in the display is a

reminder that the appliance should not

be used without food inside it.

Operating the appliance without food

can damage the appliance.

If the Start button is pressed without

the door having first been opened, the

word door appears in the display. It is

possible that there is no food in the

appliance because the door has not

Operation – grilling

The grill has 4settings: grill solo and

3combination settings where the grill is

used together with a specific

microwave power level.

If the total grilling duration required is

less than 15minutes, the grill should be

pre-heated for approx. 5minutes.

Thin, flat cuts of fish and meat should

be turned half way through grilling for

even results. Larger, chunkier pieces

should be turned several times.

Grilling durations depend on the type

and thickness of the food and on the

user’s preference for a rare or well-

cooked 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.

 Risk of burning due to hot

dishes.

Gourmet plate

Tips for use

 Risk 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

stand.

Before using for the first time

Before using the gourmet plate for the

first time, fill it with 400ml water and

add 3 to 4tbsp vinegar or lemon juice.

Heat for 5minutes at 450W + 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

 Fire hazard due to overheating.

Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to

overheat.

Never leave the gourmet plate

unattended when cooking with oil or

fats.

 Only very little fat or oil is necessary

when cooking with this dish. This is

because food does not stick to the

non-stick coating. This has the added

advantage of keeping down the

calorie count.

 When using the gourmet plate, make

sure that the food is ready to transfer

to the gourmet plate as soon as it has

heated up.

 Place the gourmet plate directly on

the turntable.

Sparking can damage the gourmet

plate and the oven compartment.

Do not place the gourmet plate on

the rack. Make sure there is a gap of

approx. 2cm between the gourmet

plate and the interior walls of the

microwave oven so that sparking

cannot occur.

 Heat the plate at 450W + Grill for

max. 5minutes.

 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, 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

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.

Examples of use:

Pre-heat the gourmet plate directly on

the turntable for up to max. 5minutes

at 450W + Grill.

- Fish fingers (frozen), 150g + 2tbsp

oil, 3 – 4minutes each side

- Hamburgers, 2burgers + 2tbsp

oil, 3 – 4minutes each side

- Croquette potatoes (frozen), 10 –

12pieces + 2tbsp oil, 6 –

8minutes, turning halfway through

- Fillet steak, approx. 200g,

5minutes each side (according to

taste)

- Pizza (frozen), 300g,, 7–

9minutes

- Pizza (fresh), without pre-heating,

15minutes approx. (depending on

topping)

Operation - Automatic programmes

All of the automatic programmes are

weight dependent.

The weight of the food can be

displayed as metric (g) or imperial (lb)

(see “Changing settings”).

After selecting a programme, enter the

weight of the food. The appliance

automatically calculates the duration

according to the weight entered.

After cooking, allow the food to stand at

room temperature for the suggested

number of minutes (“standing time”) to

allow the heat to be distributed evenly

through the food.

Automatic defrosting

There are 5programmes for defrosting

different types of food. The standing

time for programme A3 is up to

30minutes, depending on weight, and

approx. 10minutes for the other

programmes.

This programme is particularly suitable

for defrosting frozen sliced bread. If

possible, place single slices in the

appliance, or separate the slices when

the buzzer sounds halfway through the

defrosting time.

Automatic cooking

There are 4programmes for frozen food

and 8for fresh food.

The standing time for each of these

programmes is approx. 2 minutes.

 Damage due to heat-sensitive

plastic.

The material of a heat-retaining 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.

A heat-retaining cover must only be

used with Microwave Solo mode. On

no account may a cover be used if

the grill is switched on, i.e. for

programmes A9 and A13 to A17.

Reheat

Select the following microwave power

levels to reheat food:

Drinks 800W

Food 600W

Food for babies and children 450W

 Risk of burning due to hot food.

Food for babies and children must

not be too hot.

Only heat it for 1/2 to 1minute at

450watts.

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

20seconds 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

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

Place the food in a microwave safe

container and cover it.

When cooking, it is a good idea to

select a power level of 800W to start

with and then when the food is hot

reduce the power level to 450W for

more gentle continued cooking.

For dishes such as rice or semolina

pudding, first select a power level of

800W, and then reduce it to 150W 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

 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:

- 80W

for defrosting very delicate food, e.g.

cream, butter, gateau and cheese.

- 150W

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 800W followed by 450W.

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

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

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 to the

microwave outlet inside the oven,

nor the film covering the inside of the

door.

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

 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

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

Accessories supplied

Rack

Wash and dry the rack after each use. It

is dishwasher-proof. Remove stubborn

soiling with a stainless steel cleaner.

Gourmet plate

Clean the gourmet plate with hot water

and a cloth with a little washing-up

liquid to remove any grease.

Do not use wire wool, or abrasive

sponges, aggressive or abrasive

cleaning agents.

Do not clean the gourmet plate in a

dishwasher.

If the gourmet plate has been used to

cook food with a strong aroma, you can

neutralise any odours by adding some

water and lemon juice to the gourmet

plate and heating it up in the microwave

oven using maximum power for a

2-3minutes. Rinse the gourmet plate

afterwards with clean water.

Problem solving guide

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).

 “door” has appeared in the display. The door has not

been opened for a long time (approx. 20minutes) (see

“door message” 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.

It is between 11p.m. and 5a.m. and night time switch-off is

activated.

 Deactivate night time switch-off if you want to be able to

see the clock display at all times.

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

Problem Cause and remedy

Food is not

adequately

defrosted, heated

or cooked at the

end of 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 interrupted and

not restarted.

The microwave

function is

working but not

the oven lighting.

The lamp is faulty.

You can then operate the appliance as normal, but not the

lighting.

 Contact Miele Customer Service if you need to replace

the lighting.

Strange noises

are heard when

the microwave

oven is being

used.

The food is covered with aluminium foil.

 Remove the aluminium foil.

Sparks are being created by the use of crockery with a

metallic finish.

 Please observe the information on suitable containers.

The time of day

in the display is

not accurate.

If there has been a power cut, the time automatically

switches back to 12:00.

The time of day needs to be reset.

 Set the correct time of day.

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.

The microwave

oven switches

itself off during a

cooking,

reheating or

defrosting

programme.

There may be insufficient air circulation.

 Check whether the air inlet or outlet is blocked.

Remove any obstruction.

The appliance switches off automatically in cases of overheating.

 Cooking can be continued after a cooling-down period.

The appliance switches itself off again.

 Contact your Miele dealer.

After sales service

Contact in case of malfunction

In the event of any faults which you

cannot remedy yourself, please contact

your Miele Dealer or Miele Service.

Contact details for Miele are given at

the end of this booklet. N.B. A call-out

fee will be charged for service visits

where the problem could have been

resolved as described in these

instructions.

When contacting your Dealer or Miele,

please quote the model and serial

number of your appliance.

This information can be found on the

data plate located on the front of the

oven interior.
