unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the
warranty.
Maint
enance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.
Befor
e installing the oven, check for externally visible damage. Do
not operate a damaged appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
Reliable
and safe operation of the oven can only be guaranteed if
it is connected to the public power supply.
Op
erating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:
– the door is warped,
– the door hinges are loose,
– holes or cracks are visible in the housing, the door, the door seal
or the o
ven interior walls.
T
o guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity
must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding
system. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. See "Electrical connection - GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS". It is imperative that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician.
P
roper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been
installed correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified
technician.
Before installation, make sure that the voltage and frequency
listed on the data plate correspond with the household electrical
supply. This data must correspond to prevent injury and machine
damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Befor
e installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the
work area by
– removing the fuse,
– "tripping" the circuit breaker, or
– unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord.
Ext
ension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not use an extension cord
to connect this appliance to electricity.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
The ove
n is not to be operated until it has been properly installed
within cabinetry.
Danger of electric shock!
Under no ci
rcumstances open the outer casing of the appliance.
This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Do not r
epair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in the operating instructions. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Defective co
mponents should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
In or
der for the oven to function correctly, it requires an adequate
supply of cool air. Ensure that the air flow is not impaired (e.g.
insulation in the cabinetry). Also be sure that the cool air supply is
not heated by other sources nearby.
If
the oven is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the oven is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up
behind the closed door and cause damage to the oven, cabinetry
and flooring. Do not close the door until the oven has completely
cooled down.
Proper use
Danger of burns!
The Speed Oven becomes hot when in use.
De
pending on the mode selected, you could burn yourself on the
heating elements, oven interior, cooked food or oven accessories.
Wear pot holders when placing food in or removing food, or when
making adjustments in the hot Speed Oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
C
aution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not
glowing. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, vents, and
the control panel can become hot. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact
with heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
Do not let foo
d sit in the oven for more than one hour before or
after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
It
is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly
throughout the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and
observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added
to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
Use onl
y dry, heat-resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let
potholders come in contact with oil or grease. Do not substitute dish
towels or other bulky items for potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating elements.
L
oose fitting or hanging garments present a fire hazard. Wear
proper apparel while operating the appliance.
Do not hea
t unopened containers of food in the oven, pressure
may cause the containers to burst and result in injury.
T
o prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height
while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is
hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
Op
en the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before
placing or removing food.
T
o prevent burns, allow the heating elements to cool before
cleaning by hand.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may
trip over it or be injur
ed by it.
Never leave
the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or
fat. They can ignite if overheated. Do not use the oven for frying.
Do not use water on grease fires. Turn off the Speed Oven
immediately and suffocate the flames by keeping the door closed.
Never st
ore flammable liquids and materials in, above or under an
oven, or near cooking surfaces.
T
o avoid fueling any flames, do not open the Speed Oven door if
smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by turning
the appliance off and disconnecting it from the power. Do not open
the door until the smoke has dissipated.
Do not use the o
ven to heat the room. The high temperatures
radiated could cause objects near the oven to catch fire.
W
ARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the
r
oom. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
W
ARNING
NEVER use this appliance as storage space. Doing so may result
i
n carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
W
ARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or
co
ver an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
Please be awar
e that durations for using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using modes without microwave power. Excessively long
cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even
cause it to catch fire.
Be sure you keep to recommended broiling times when using the
"Broil" mode. Do not use the "Microwave" mode for dehydrating
items such as flowers, herbs, bread, or rolls. Never use "Broil"
modes for pre-baked products such as bread or rolls or for drying
flowers or herbs. Use "Convection Bake" for these items and
monitor the process carefully.
Use cautio
n when using alcohol in your recipes. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures but may, in rare circumstances,
combust on the hot heating elements.
Dishes with ho
llow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave modes. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow
recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode.
Fir
e hazard! Using Microwave or Microwave combination
modes with plastic dishes which are not microwave safe can cause
them to melt and damage the appliance.
Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal,
aluminum foil, lead, crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper
covered wire ties. Do not use plastic containers with the foil lid only
partially removed (see "Containers suitable for microwave use").
F
or modes without microwave power: Plastic containers which
are not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and
can even damage the oven or catch fire.
Only use containers which are declared by the manufacturer as
being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
Do not lea
ve the microwave oven unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable materials.
Before using single-use containers, make sure they are suitable for
use in microwave ovens (See "Containers suitable for microwave
use - Plastics").
Do not r
eheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are
intended for use in normal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminum
foil which reflects microwaves.This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become hot and ignite.
The Speed O
ven can be damaged when using Microwave or
Microwave Combination modes if it is empty or incorrectly loaded.
For this reason please do not use modes with microwave power to
pre-heat cookware or to dry herbs.
Instead use Convection Bake or Surround for these
procedures.
When using
residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the high
humidity and amount of condensation in the Speed Oven can cause
corrosion. The control panel, the countertop or the cabinetry can
also suffer damage.
Always cover food when using Microwave . Once food is cooked
through, use a lower power for continued cooking to reduce the
amount of steam produced from the food. When using residual heat
do not turn the Speed Oven off. Instead set the temperature to the
lowest setting and leave the oven on the selected mode. The fan will
then remain on automatically and dissipate the moisture.
It
is recommended to cover all cooked food that is left in the oven
to be kept warm. This will prevent moisture from condensing on the
interior of the oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15
A b
uild-up of heat can cause damage to the coating on the floor
of the oven.
When using Convection Bake do not line the floor of the Speed
Oven with anything, e.g. aluminum foil or oven liners. Universal trays
and glass trays should not be placed directly on the oven floor.
The door can
support a maximum weight of 33 lbs (15 kg). Do not
sit on or lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects
on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door
and the oven cavity. The oven could get damaged.
When heatin
g food and drinks, remember that the heat is created
in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The
dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. The temperature of the
container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid
in it.
Check the food for the desired temperature after removing it. This is
particularly important when preparing food for babies. Shake or
stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try it for
temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.
The Speed O
ven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items.
Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning when
the item is removed from the appliance.
Do not coo
k or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and nipple must be
removed.
Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or
container to explode. Risk of injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
16
The boil
ing wand ensures that the liquid heats up evenly with
bubbles forming at the right time.
When reheating liquids, always place the boiling wand supplied into
the cup or glass. When boili
ng and in particular when reheating
liquids, milk, sauces etc, using microwave power without the boiling
wand, 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 "superheating" can cause a sudden build
up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or
shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and
explosively. Danger of scalding and burning! The formation of
bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door
open, with a danger of injury and damage. The user could be injured
and the appliance damaged.
Ensure you use only the boiling wand supplied with your appliance.
Eggs can be cook
ed without their shells using microwave power
only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
Eggs in their
shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven.
They can only be cooked in their shells using microwave heat in a
specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist
shops. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated in the microwave
oven either as they too will explode.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
17
F
ood with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,
potatoes and eggplant, should be pierced or cut in several places to
allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.
T
o check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process.
Only use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to
measure the temperature of the food. Do not use a thermometers
containing mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use with
very high temperatures and break very easily
Do not use the o
ven to heat up heating pads filled with grains, gel,
etc.
These pads can ignite even after they have been removed from the
Speed Oven.
This oven must only be used for cooking food. Fumes, vapors or
heat given off by glues, plastics or flammable liquids and materials
could be hazardous. Do not use it as a dryer, kiln, dehumidifier, etc.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Do not let metal objects (aluminum foil, pans) come in contact
with the heating element.
Mak
e certain that the power cords of small appliances do not
come in contact with or get caught in the oven door.
Cleaning and care
Do not use a st
eam cleaner to clean this oven.
Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Only clean par
ts 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
18
T
o avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surfaces of the Speed
Oven, remove any splashes on the interior walls of the oven from
food or liquids containing salt.
Do not use ove
n cleaners. Commercial oven cleaners or oven
liners of any kind should not be used in or around any part of the
oven.
Accessories
Use only ge
nuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty will become void.
Only use the Miele
roast probe supplied with this oven. If it is
faulty, it must only be replaced with a Miele genuine roast probe.
V
ery high temperatures can damage the roast probe and cause
the silicon to melt. Do not keep the roast probe in the oven. Do not
use the roast probe in Broil modes (except for Convection Broil).

How it works
The Speed Oven contains a high-
fr
equency tube called a magnetron. It
converts electrical energy into
microwaves. The microwaves are then
distributed evenly throughout the metal
sides of the oven interior to reach the
food from all sides.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be
able to penetrate
the cooking container being used.
Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,
glass, cardboard and plastics, but not
metal. Do not, therefore, use dishes
made of metal, or which contain metal,
for example in the form of gold or silver
trim. The metal reflects the microwaves
and this could cause sparking. The
microwaves cannot be absorbed.
Microwaves pass through a suitable
conta
iner and find their way directly into
the food. All food contains moisture
molecules which, when subjected to
microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5
billion times a second. The friction
caused by this vibration creates heat,
which first starts developing around the
outside of the food and then slowly
penetrates towards the center. The
moisture, fat and sugar content of food
will affect the speed at which it is
cooked.
Advantages
– Food can generally be cooked with
little liquid or oil.
– Defrosting, heating and cooking is
fast
er than using a conventional
oven.
– Nutrients, such as vitamins and
min
erals, are generally retained.
– The color, texture and taste of food
are not impaired.
Microwaves stop being produced
when the pr
ogram is interrupted or the
door is open. While in operation the
closed, sealed door prevents
microwaves from escaping the
appliance.
Microwave power levels
Microwave power levels 1 to 7 can be
selected.

Microwaves are reflected by metal.
They pass through glass, porcelain,
plastic and cardboard.
They are absorbed by food.
Non-microwave safe dishes can
suffer damage or cause damage to
the oven when using the the
Microwave (Solo) and
Combination modes with Microwave.
Risk of Fire!
The material and shape of containers
used affect cooki
ng results and times.
Circular and oval containers work best.
The food will heat more evenly than in a
square container.
Containers suitable for
micr
owave use
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
ar
e ideal for use with microwave power.
Exception: Do not use crystal glass
as it contai
ns lead which can crack
or shatter in a microwave.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
Exception: Do not use porcelain with
gold, silver or cobalt blue edging or
it
ems with hollow knobs or handles,
as insufficient ventilation may cause
a build-up of pressure.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decor
ation is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Danger of burning! Wear pot holders
when removing earthenware dishes
from the Speed Oven.
Selecting cookware
54
Plastics
Plastic containers and plastic
disposable containers may only be
used with Micr
owave (Solo) if they
have been declared as suitable for
microwave use by the manufacturer. To
protect the environment, it is best to
avoid using single-use containers.
Do not leave the Speed Oven
un
attended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or
other flammable materials.
Plastic cookware must be heat-
r
esistant up to at least 230°F
(110°C). Otherwise the cookware will
deform and possibly come in
contact with the food.
Only use plastic dishes in the
Microwave and combination
modes.
– Plastic microwave containers
Readily available from retail stores.
– Styrofoam containers
Disposable containers, such as trays
made fr
om styrofoam, can only be used
for very short, timed warming and
reheating of food.
– Plastic cooking bags
Plastic cooking bags can be used for
coo
king and reheating food.
They should be pierced beforehand so
that steam can escape. This prevents a
build-up of steam and reduces the rish
of the bag bursting.
There are also cooking bags that do not
need t
o be pierced. Following the
instructions listed on the packaging.
– Roasting bags
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Fire hazard!
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
co
ntaining metal parts, or paper ties
containing wire. There is a danger
that they will ignite when heated.
– Melamine
Plastic tableware made from melamine
is not suitable for use in this oven.
Melam
ine absorbs microwave energy
and becomes very hot. Before
purchasing plasticware be sure that is
is microwave-safe.
Selecting cookware
55
Unsuitable containers for
micr
owave use
Dishes with hollow knobs or
h
andles are not suitable for use with
microwave modes. Moisture which
has gathered in the hollow recesses
can cause pressure to build up and
the item can explode.
Metal
Metal reflects microwaves and
obst
ructs the cooking process.
Do not use metal containers, aluminum,
foil, metal cu
tlery and china with
metallic decoration such as gold rims or
cobalt blue with Microwave
combination modes.
Do not use containers where the foil
li
d has not been completely removed
as small pieces of foil can cause
sparking.
Exceptions:
The rack supplied
is only suitable for
cooking in Combination modes and
modes that do not use microwave. It
is not suitable for cooking in the
Microwave (Solo) mode.
The rack should be used on a shelf
level. Do not place it on the floor of
the oven.
– Metal bakeware can be used with
Mic
rowave combination modes.
– Ready-meals in aluminum foil trays
can
be defrosted and reheated using
microwave power as long as the lid is
removed.
When using foil trays there is a risk
of ar
cing or sparks occurring in the
oven. For this reason, place the foil
tray on the glass tray and not on the
rack.
The foil tray must be at least 3/4"
(2 cm) away from the oven walls. It
must not touch them.
However, as food is only heated from
the t
op, it is better to remove the food
from the aluminum foil container and
transfer it to a dish suitable for use in
a microwave oven. The heat
distribution will be more even.
Selecting cookware
56
– Aluminum foil pieces
For even defrosting and to avoid
over
cooking unevenly shaped cuts of
meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of
aluminum foil may be used to mask thin
pieces for the last few minutes of the
program.
Make sure that the aluminum foil is
at least 3/4
" (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
ver
y small in comparison to the size of
the cut of meat.
Glazes and colors
Some glazes and colors contain metal
and are therefore unsuitable for
microwave modes.
Wood
Wooden dishes are not suitable.
Moistu
re contained in the wood
evaporates when exposed to
microwave energy, causing the wood to
dry and crack.
Testing dishes for their
suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass,
ea
rthenware or porcelain plates or
dishes are suitable for use with
microwave energy, a simple test can be
performed:
Inse
rt the glass tray on shelf level 1
and place the empty item you wish to
test on the glass tray. Fill a suitable
glass with water and also place this
on the glass tray.
Cl
ose the door.
Sel
ect Microwave .
Set the hig
hest microwave power
level (7) and a cooking duration of
30 seconds.
Co
nfirm with OK and start the
program.
If a cracking noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
t
est, turn the appliance off
immediately. Any cookware which
causes this reaction is unsuitable for
use with microwave power. If in
doubt, contact the cookware
manufacturer.
This test cannot be used to check
whether it
ems with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
Selecting cookware
57
Placing the dish in the Speed
Oven
Inser
t the glass tray on shelf level 1.
The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the
gl
ass tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven woul
d give unsatisfactory
and uneven results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
Lid
The lid offers the following advantages:
– Prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
nee
d longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
– Speeds up the cooking process.
– Prevents food from drying out.
– Helps keep the oven interior clean.
When usin
g Microwave (Solo) ,
always cover the food with a lid or
cover made of microwave safe glass
or plastic.
These covers are available at retail
st
ores.
Alternatively, use plastic wrap
r
ecommended for use in a microwave
oven (pierce as instructed by the
manufacturer). Heat can cause normal
plastic wrap to distort and fuse with
the food.
Selecting cookware
58
The cover can only withstand
t
emperatures up to 230°F (110°C).
Higher temperatures (e.g. those used
for Broil and Convection Bake) can
cause the plastic to distort and fuse
with the food. The cover should only
be used with Microwave (Solo) .
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the cover is
used with a container which only has
a narrow diameter, there might not
be enough room for condensation to
escape through the holes in the top.
The cover could get too hot and
could start to melt.
Do not use the cover if:
– cooking breaded food,
– cooking food which requires a crisp
finish,
– cooking food with a Combi mode.
O
therwise pressure can build up,
causing the container to explode,
posing a severe risk of injury.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
Other
wise pressure will build up
which can cause the bottle or
container to explode. Risk of injury.
Energy saving tips
59
– Remove any accessories from the
oven
that you do not require for
cooking.
– If possible, do not open the door
during
a program. If the door is
opened during a program that is not
using microwave power, the heat in
the oven automatically turns off. The
fans continue to run. As soon as the
door is closed again, the program will
continue.
– If a temperature range is given, it is
best to select the lower temperature
and check the food after the shortest
cooking time given.
– Convection Broil can be used for
a wide variety of foods. L
ower
temperatures can be used than with
other Broil modes which use the
maximum temperature setting.
– The default setting for the Time of
Day display Time - Show - Off will
consume the
least amount of energy.
– With the factory default setting
Lighting
- On for 15 Seconds the oven
interior lighting turns off automatically
after 15 seconds. It can be turned on
again at any time by touching "Light".
– When cooking with automatic shut-
off or the roast probe, the oven
heating will turn off automatically
shortly before the end of cooking.
The reqidual heat is sufficient to finish
the cooking process. Energy Save
Phase will appear in the display. The
cooling fan or hot air fan (depending
on mode used) will remain on.
– The oven turns off automatically if a
butt
on is not pressed to save power.
The amount of time before the oven
turns off depends on the selected
settings, e.g. mode, temperature,
cooking duration, etc.

Bake
83
Eating food which has been cooked
correctly is important for good
health.
Only bake cakes, pizza, french fries,
etc. until they are golden brown. Do
not overcook them.
Oven modes
Depending on how you would like the
fo
od prepared, you can use Convection
Bake , Surround , Intensive ,
or Combi Bake (see "Guide to the
modes").
Combi Bake is particularly suitable for
baking doughs with a longer baking
time, because the cooking time is
shor
tened.
For baking, the microwave power level
must not e
xceed level 2.
Bakeware
The bakeware used depends on the
oven mode chosen and how the food is
pr
epared.
– Convection Bake , Int
ensive :
Bakeware made of any heat-resistant
material is suitable. Light-colored,
thin, non-reflective metal baking
pans can be used, but results may
not be as good as with dark non-
reflective bakeware.
– Surround :
Dark metal, enamel or aluminum
baking
tins with a matte finish, as
well as heat-resistant glass, ceramic
and coated dishes can be used.
Avoid bright, shiny metal tins as they
result in uneven or poor browning,
and in some cases cakes might not
cook properly.
– Combi Bake
Only use ove
n-safe dishware suitable
for microwave use (see "Containers
suitable for microwave use"), such as
oven-safe glass or ceramic dishes as
these allow microwaves through
them.
Metal containers reflect microwaves
so food will only cook from above.
Cooking durations would therefore
be longer and metal tins could also
cause sparking. Place the dish on the
glass tray such that it cannot touch
the oven walls. If the dish being used
causes sparking, do not use it for
combination cooking modes again.
Parchment paper
Place french fries, croquettes and
simil
ar types of food on paper.
Bake
84
Temperature
As a general rule, select the lower
t
emperature given in the chart.
Choosing a baking temperature higher
than tho
se recommended may reduce
the cooking time, but will lead to
uneven browning, and unsatisfactory
cooking results.
Baking duration
Check if the food is cooked at the end
of the shor
test duration quoted. To
check if a cake is ready insert a
wooden skewer or toothpick into the
center, it should come out clean.
Shelf levels
The shelf level that you place the food
on for baking depends on the oven
mode and the number of tr
ays being
used.
– Convection Bak
e
Cakes in pans: Level 1 from the
bottom
Flat baked goods (e.g. cookies,
cakes): Level 2 from the bottom
Baking on 2 levels at the same time:
Levels 1+3 from the bottom or levels
2+3 from the bottom
– Surround
Cakes in pans: Level 1 from the
bottom
Flat baked goods (e.g. cookies,
cakes: Level 2 from the bottom
– Int
ensive
In general use Level 1 from the
bottom.
– Combi
Bake
Insert the glass tray on Level 1 from
the bottom and place the bakeware
on it.
Tips
– Setting the cooking duration. When
baking
, the oven should not be set to
start after an extended period of time.
Otherwise the cake mixture or dough
will dry out, and the raising agents
will lose their effectiveness.
– Place cakes in rectangular bakeware
on the
rack with the longer side
across the width of the oven for
optimum heat distribution and even
results.
Roast
85
Always observe the USDA guidelines
for food safety
.
Oven modes
Convection Bake / Convection Roast
, Aut
o Roast
For roasting meat, fish and poultry
dish
es in which a browned finish is
desired.
Combi Bake ,
C
ombi Auto Roast
The program duration is shorter with
these modes.
Set the microwave to the following
power levels for the entire roasting
time:
– For meat and fish: max. Level 3
– For poultry: max. Level 2
This combination program is not
suitable for cooking roast beef or
tenderloins. The center would be too
well cooked before the exterior is
browned.
Cookware
Please take into account the material of
y
our bakeware in your choice of oven
mode:
– Convection Bake / Convection Roast
/ Aut
o Roast :
Oven dishes, ovenproof ceramic
dishes and glass dishes.
Make sure that the pot and lid have
hea
t-resistant handles.
– Combi Bake
/ Combi Auto Roast
:
Dishes must be suitable for use in a
microwave oven and must not have
metal lids (see "Containers suitable
for microwave use").
Roasting in a closed pan
Season the meat and place it in the
r
oasting dish. Dot with butter or
brush with oil if necessary. For large
lean cuts of meat 4.5-6.5 lbs (2–3 kg)
and fatty poultry, add about 1/2 cup
(1/8 l) of water to the dish.
When usin
g a roasting bag, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Roasting on the rack
Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or
place a few strips
of bacon on the top.
Do not add too much liquid during
cooking as this will hinder the
br
owning process.
Roast
86
Temperature
As a general rule, select the medium
t
emperature provided in the chart.
If higher temperatures are used, the
meat will brown on the outside, but will
not be properly cooked through.
Select the lower temperature quoted in
the r
oasting chart for meat weighing
more than 6.5 lbs (3 kg).
The roasting process will take longer,
but the meat will cook evenly through
and the skin or crackling will not be too
thick.
When roasting on the rack, set a
t
emperature approx. 25°F (20°C) lower
than for roasting in a covered oven
dish.
Preheating
Preheating is only required when
r
oasting sirloins and tenderloins.
Roasting duration
The roasting time can be determined by
multiplyi
ng the thickness of the roast (in
cm (approx. 3/8 in.)) by the time per
centimeter thickness [min/cm] (listed
below), depending on the type of meat:
– Beef / Game: 15–18 min/cm
– Pork / Veal / Lamb: 12–15 min/cm
– Sirloin / Fillet: 8–10 min/cm
Roasting times are approx. 20 minutes
lon
ger per kilo (approx. 2 lbs.) for frozen
meat. Frozen meat weighing less than
approx. 1.5 kg (approx. 3 lbs.) does not
need to be defrosted before roasting.
Check if the meat is cooked after the
shortest duration quoted.
Shelf levels
– Convection Bake / Convection Roast
/ Aut
o Roast :
Rack with meat on it on shelf level 1
– Combi Bake
/
Combi Auto Roast :
Rack or glass tray with meat on it on
shelf level 1
Tips
– Resting time: At the end of the
program, take the roast out of the
oven, cover with aluminum foil and
let stand for about 10 minutes. This
helps retain the juices when the meat
is sliced.
– The larger the cut of meat to be
r
oasted, the lower the temperature
should be. The roasting process will
take a little longer, but the meat will
be cooked evenly and the outside will
become crisp.
– Use a roast probe for accurate
coo
king temperatures and best
results.
Roast
87
Roast Probe
The roast probe enables the roasting
pr
ocess to be monitored simply and
reliably.
How the roast probe works
The metal tip of the roast probe is
inserted into the food. There is a
temperature sensor in the metal tip
which measures the core temperature
of the food during cooking. The rise in
the core temperature reflects the extent
to which the food is cooked. You can
program the core temperature to be
lower or higher, depending on how you
would like the meat cooked, rare,
medium or well-done.
A core temperature of up to 210°F
(99°C) can be set.
Please refer to the
roasting chart and "Slow cooking" for
the core temperatures applicable for
different types of meat.
The cooking time will be similar when
coo
king with or without the roast probe.
When to use the roast probe
Apart from MasterChef programs,
Special Mo
des and Favorites, the roast
probe can be used with the following
oven modes:
– Auto Roast
– Convection Bake / Convection Roast
– Surround / Surround Roast
– Convection Broil
– Microwave
– Combi Auto Roast
– Combi Bake

Important notes regarding the roast
pr
obe
Please note:
– You can place the meat in a pot, on
the r
ack or in the glass tray,
depending on the mode selected.
– The metal tip of the roast probe must
be fully inse
rted into the center of the
food.
– When cooking poultry, insert the
metal
tip into the thickest part of the
breast. You can find the thickest part
of the breast by pressing the area
with your thumb and index finger.
– Do not let the metal tip touch any
bones or in
sert it into a fatty area of
the meat. If fat or bone come into
contact with the probe, this can lead
to the oven being turned off too early.
– If the meat is very heavily marbled
with fat, select the hig
hest core
temperature given in the roasting
chart.
– When using roasting bags or
alu
minum foil, insert the probe
through the bag or foil into the center
of the meat. You can also place the
meat, with the roast probe inserted,
inside the foil. Follow the roasting
bag / aluminum foil manufacturer's
instructions.

another place and repeat the program.
Slow Roasting
91
This cooking method is ideal for
cooking beef, pork, veal or lamb when
a t
ender result is desired.
First, using a cooktop sear the meat on
all sides t
o seal in the juices.
Then place the meat in a preheated
oven. It will be cooked at a low
temperature for an extended time
allowing the meat to become very
tender.
The meat will rest and the juices start to
cir
culate evenly throughout.
This gives the meat a very tender and
juicy result.
Tips
– Use fresh, lean meat that has been
trimmed. Remove the bones befor
e
cooking.
– When searing, use a suitable cooking
oil or fat that can withstand high
t
emperatures (e.g. clarified butter,
vegetable oil).
– Do not cover the meat during
cooking.
Cooking will take approx. 2-4 hours,
depending on the siz
e and weight of
the meat, as well as the desired
degree of doneness and browning.

oiling on the wire oven rack.
Brush the r
ack with oil, and place the
food on it. It is best to broil food of a
similar thickness at the same time so
that the broiling duration for each
item does not vary too greatly.
Broil level (Maxi Broil /
Micr
o Broil )
– Level 3: Thin cuts are cooked quickly
when placed clo
se to the Browning /
Broiling element
– Level 2: For lighter browning, e.g.
casser
oles.
– Level 1: Thicker cuts should be
br
oiled further from the Browning /
Broiling element.
Temperature (Convection
Br
oil , Combi Broil )
As a general rule, select the lower
t
emperature given in the chart. If higher
temperatures are used, the meat will
brown on the outside but will not be
properly cooked through.Thin cuts can
generally be broiled at 400°F (220°C),
thicker cuts at 250-400°F (180-200°C).

Preheating
Always preheat the oven for about
5 minut
es with the door closed before
Broiling.
Do not set a microwave power level
during
pre-heating.
Shelf level
– "Maxi Broil" ,
"Micro Broil" :
Use shelf level 2 or 3 from the
bottom depending on the thickness
of the food.
– "Convection Broil" , "Combi
Br
oil" :
Use self level 1 or 2 from the bottom
depending on the thickness of the
food.
Broiling duration
– Flat pieces of fish and meat usually
tak
e 6–8 minutes per side.
It is best to broil food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that
the broiling duration for each item
does not vary too greatly.
– Thicker pieces need about 7–9
min
utes.
– Roulades: allow approx.10 minutes
per cm diamet
er.
Testing doneness
Always observe USDA food safety
guidelines.
Tip: If the surface of a thicker cut of
meat is browned but the center is still
raw, move the food to a lower level or
reduce the temperature and continue
cooking. This will stop the surface from
becoming too dark.
Broil
96
Preparing food for broiling
Rinse the meat under cold water and
pat d
ry. Do not season the meat with
salt before broiling, this will draw out
the juices.
Brush the meat with oil, if necessary.
Do not use other types of fat as they
can easi
ly burn and cause smoke.
Clean fish as usual. To enhance the
flavor
, salt or lemon can be added.

The duration required depends largely on the nature of the food, the amount and its initial
t
emperature. Food that has been refrigerated, for example, takes longer to reheat than food
at room temperature. Please refer to the relevant charts.
Microwave: Defrosting/Reheating/Cooking
98
Before defrosting, reheating
and cooking
Pl
ace food (frozen or unfrozen) in a
dish that is suitable for microwave
use, and cover it.
Place the dish in the middle of the
gl
ass tray on shelf level 1.
The roast probe can be used to
moni
tor the temperature when
reheating or cooking (see "Roast -
Roast probe").
With Microwave Combi modes
Use on
ly microwave-safe and heat-
resistant cookware.
A lid is not usually required.
Never use a lid with the Combi Auto
Roast and Micr
o Broil modes
as the food will not brown.
Place
the glass tray on shelf level 2.
Place pre-made meals in aluminum
conta
iners directly on the glass tray.
During the defrosting,
r
eheating and cooking process
T
urn or stir the food several times.
Stir the food from the outside
towards the middle, as food heats
more quickly from the outside.
Microwave: Defrosting/Reheating/Cooking
99
After defrosting, reheating and
cooking
Compensating times are resting periods
in whi
ch the temperature is uniformly
distributed in the food.
All
ow the food to stand at room
temperature for a few minutes to
enable the heat to spread evenly
throughout the food.
Danger of burns!
After reheating food, especially food
for babies and small chi
ldren, stir the
food or shake the container and
check that the temperature does not
pose any danger. Double check after
it has been left to stand.
Danger of burns!
Be
careful when removing dishes
from the appliance. Although heat is
not normally produced in the
container itself by the microwaves
(apart from stoneware), heat transfer
from the food to the container may
be considerable, making the
container itself hot.
Use pot holders when removing
dishes.
Always ensur
e that food is sufficiently
cooked or reheated.
Always follo
w proper food safety
guidelines.
Microwave: Defrosting/Reheating/Cooking

Tips on reheating
Danger of burns! F
ood for infants
and children must not be too hot.
Heat baby food for only approx.
30
-60 seconds at microwave power
level 4. You can also use the roast
probe for temperature controlled
heating.
Otherwise pressure can build up,
cau
sing the container to explode,
posing a severe risk of injury.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
Other
wise pressure will build up
which can cause the bottle or
container to explode. Risk of injury.
The boiling wand ensures that the
liquid heats up evenly with bubbles
forming at the right time.
When reheating liquids place the
boil
ing wand supplied into the cup or
glass.
Eggs may burst.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs using
Mic
rowave (Solo) , even without
the shell. The eggs can explode.
Cooking tips
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as t
omatoes, sausage, potatoes and
egg plant can burst when heated.
Pierce or score the skin of these
foods se
veral times to allow steam to
escape.
Eggs heated in their shell can burst,
even
after removed from the oven.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shel
ls using Microwave (Solo) in
a specially designed egg-boiling
device available from speciality
stores.
When heating shelled eggs, the yolk
may still
burst after cooking.
Prick the yolk several times before
co
oking to avoid this.
Microwave: Defrosting/Reheating/Cooking
101
When to use Notes
Defrosting large quantities
of food at once, e.g. 4.5 lbs
(2 kg) fish
The glass tray can be used on shelf level 1 for
defr
osting food.
Reheating food Always cover food when reheating it, except when
r
eheating fried food or food with breading.
Cooking vegetables Add a little water to vegetables which have been
k
ept stored. Vegetable cooking times depend on the
texture of the vegetable. Fresh vegetables contain
more water than vegetables which have been stored
and usually cook more quickly.
Cooking frozen meals Deep frozen meals can be defrosted and then
reheated or cooked in one process. Follow the
instructions on the package.
Tables for defrosting, reheating and cooking food using
Microwave (Solo)
The following notes apply to all tables:
Always follow USDA guidelines on food safety.
T
ake note of the recommended microwave power levels, durations and standing
times. These take the consistency, the quantity and the initial temperature of the
food into account.
In gener
al you are recommended to select the middle duration.
Place

Cleaning and care
116
Danger of burns!
Make sure the heating elements are
turne
d off and allowed to cool
completely.
Danger of inj
ury! The steam from
a steam cleaner could reach
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance.
All surfaces can discolor or be
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
ag
ents are used. The front of the
oven, in particular, will be damaged
by oven cleaners and descalers.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scr
atches. Scratches on glass
surfaces could cause a breakage.
Remove any cleaning agent residues
imme
diately.
Stubborn soiling may damage the
oven.
Once the oven has cooled clean the
oven, the inside of the door and the
door seal
. Waiting too long to clean
the oven will make if much more
difficult to clean.
Check the door and door seal for
any sign of damage. If any damage
is seen, the oven should not be used
again. Contact Miele.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To better maintain your appliance avoid
the following:
– cleaners containing soda, ammonia,
thinners, or chlorides,
– cleaners containing descaling agents
or li
me removers,
– abrasive cleaning agents e.g. powder
or cr
eam cleansers, pumice stones,
– solvent-based cleaners,
– stainless steel cleaners,
– dishwasher soap (powder),
– glass cleaning agents,
– ceramic cooktop cleaner,
– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scour
ers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents,
– eraser sponges,
– metal scrapers,
– steel wool or scouring pads,
– stainless steel spiral pads,
– spot cleaners,
– oven cleaners*.
* These can, however, be used to
r
emove very heavy soiling from
PerfectClean treated surfaces.
Soiling not removed immediately can
become
difficult to remove.
Continued use without cleaning will
make the oven much harder to clean.
Remove any soiling immediately.

Frequently asked questions
124
Problem Possible cause and solution
The food is not
sufficiently he
ated or is
not cooked at the end
of a set duration when
using Microwave (Solo)
.
Check that the program was restarted after
int
errupting a cooking process using microwave
power.

or cooked properly.
When cooking for heating with microwave, the time
set was t
oo short.
Check that the co
rrect time is selected for the
microwave power level. The lower the microwave
power level the longer the cooking time.
The food has cooled
down t
oo quickly after
being reheated or
cooked in microwave
mode.
Due to the microwave properties, the heat is
g
enerated first at the edges of the food and is then
transferred to the center of the food. If the food is
heated with a high microwave power level the food
may be hot on the outside but not heated through to
the center.
When co
oking foods with different sizes, such as
with menu cooking, a lower microwave power
level for a longer period of time is most suitable.
