vant legal safety requirements. Im-  
proper use of the appliance can,  
however, present a risk of both per-  
sonal injury and material damage.  
If the connection cable is damaged  
the new cable must be fitted by a  
Miele approved service technician.  
Do not use the microwave function  
of the appliance if  
Before installation and before using  
the appliance for the first time, read  
the operating instructions carefully.  
They contain important notes on in-  
stallation, safety, operation and care  
of the appliance. This way you will  
avoid the risk of accidents and dam-  
age to the appliance.  
- the door is warped.  
- the door hinges are loose.  
- holes or cracks are visible in the cas-  
ing, the door, the door seal or the oven  
interior walls.  
Operating the appliance with this type  
of damage will result in microwave leak-  
age, and present a hazard to the user.  
Keep these instructions in a safe  
place and pass them on to any fu-  
ture user.  
Never open the casing of the appli-  
ance.  
Tampering with electrical connections  
or components and mechanical parts is  
highly dangerous to the user and can  
cause operational faults or electric  
shock.  
Correct usage  
The appliance is intended for do-  
mestic use only: to cook food, and  
in particular to defrost, reheat, cook,  
bake, and to brown food. Any other us-  
age is at the owner's risk and could be  
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot  
be held responsible for damage  
caused by improper use of the appli-  
ance.  
Before connecting the appliance to  
the mains supply make sure that  
the rating on the data plate corre-  
sponds to the voltage and frequency of  
the household supply. It is essential that  
these data correspond as otherwise  
damage will occur to the appliance. If  
in doubt consult a suitably qualified  
electrician.  
Do not let children access the appli-  
ance or its controls. Supervise its use  
by the elderly or infirm.  
Do not connect the appliance to  
the mains electricity supply by an

General notes  
Always ensure that food is suffi-  
ciently cooked or reheated. Many  
factors will affect the overall cooking  
time, including the size and amount of  
food, its initial temperature, changes to  
recipe and the shape and size of cook-  
ing container. Some foods may contain  
micro organisms which are only de-  
stroyed by thorough cooking, therefore  
when cooking or reheating foods, e.g.  
poultry, it is particularly important that  
food is fully cooked through (at over  
70°C, for a minimum of 10 minutes). If  
in doubt select a longer cooking or re-  
heating time.

dance with local and national safety  
regulations. Repairs and other work by  
unqualified persons could be danger-  
ous. The manufacturer cannot be held  
responsible for unauthorised work.  
This equipment is not designed for  
maritime use or for use in mobile  
installations such as caravans, aircraft  
etc. However it may be suitable for  
such usage subject to a risk assess-  
ment of the installation being carried

It is important that the heat is al-  
lowed to spread evenly throughout  
the food being cooked.  
This can be achieved by stirring and/or  
turning the food, and by observing a  
sufficiently long standing time, which  
should be added to the time needed for  
cooking, reheating or defrosting.

to avoid a possible build-up of conden-  
sation which could adversely affect the  
oven interior.  
Try to avoid the interior walls being  
splashed with food or liquids con-  
taining salt. If it does happen wipe  
these away thoroughly, to avoid corro-  
sion on the stainless steel surface.  
Wear oven gloves when removing  
the glass tray from the oven. If the  
glass tray has a heavy load, pull it only  
slightly towards you, and then hold  
firmly at the sides as you take it out.  
Exercise caution when cooking or  
reheating food with a high sugar  
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If  
heated for too long the sugar may  
caramelise or ignite.  
The glass dish and the rack take a  
maximum load of 8 kg. Do not ex-  
ceed this or the accessories may be  
damaged.  
Do not use full power if you warm  
empty dishes or dry herbs. The  
lack or minimum amount of food could  
cause damage to the appliance.  
Do not lean or sit on the open oven  
door. This could damage the appli-  
ance. Take care in the region of the  
hinges. An oven door can support a  
maximum load of 8 kg.  
Do not leave the oven unattended  
when cooking with oils and fats as  
these can be a fire hazard if allowed to  
overheat.  
If smoke occurs in the oven, to  
avoid fuelling any flame do not  
open the oven door. Turn the function  
selector to "0", or switch off at the mains  
and remove the plug from the socket.  
Do not open the oven door until the  
smoke has dispersed.  
When it is hot do not place the  
glass tray on a cold surface, such  
as a tile or granite worktop . It could  
break. Place it on a pot rest or a wire  
rack.  
Under no circumstances use a  
steam cleaner to clean this appli-  
ance. The steam could attack the elec-  
trical components and cause a short  
circuit, or permanent damage to the  
surface and to components, for which  
the manufacturer of the oven cannot  
accept any responsibility.  
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the  
microwave oven as this can easily  
ignite.  
Do not heat up unopened tins of  
food in the oven as pressure will  
build up in the tin and it can explode.  
This could result in injury or damage.

radiated, objects left near the oven  
could catch fire.  
When using kitchen appliances  
connected to sockets near the  
oven ensure that the cable cannot get  
trapped in a hot oven door, which could  
melt the cable insulation and be dan-  
gerous.  
In countries which may be subject  
to infestation by cockroaches or  
other vermin, pay particular attention to

Any damage which might be caused by  
cockroaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the appliance guarantee.  
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,  
in the oven without the boiling rod, the  
boiling point of the liquid may be  
reached without the production of typi-  
cal bubbles. The liquid does not boil  
evenly throughout. This so-called 'boil-  
ing delay' can cause a sudden build up

Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not use any containers or cut-  
lery made from or containing metal,  
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware,  
temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden  
utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire  
ties. Such items could be damaged, or  
cause a fire hazard.  
The rack supplied with the appliance is  
designed to be compatible with micro-  
waves, and can therefore be used with  
or without the microwave function.  
Food with a thick skin or peel, such  
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket po-  
tatoes, aubergines, should be pierced  
or cut in several places to allow steam  
to escape and prevent the food from  
bursting.  
Ovenproof earthenware can retain  
a considerable amount of moisture.  
Earthenware and porcelain containers  
with hollow handles and lid knobs must  
only be used in this oven if they have  
vent holes, which allow the moisture to  
escape. Without vent holes there can  
be a pressure build-up, causing the  
container to crack or shatter, with the  
danger of injury.  
The rack gets hot when operating  
either the micwowave function or  
the browning element, or both. There is  
a danger of burning.  
Eggs can only be cooked in their  
shells in the microwave oven in a  
specially designed egg-boiling device  
available from specialist shops. Simi-  
larly, hard-boiled eggs should not be  
reheated in the microwave oven as this  
may lead to the eggs bursting, even  
once they have been removed from the  
oven.  
Traditional oven functions:  
Fan Heat, Grill  
Caution - Danger of burning  
When the oven is being used as a  
traditional oven it can get very hot.  
Great care should be taken to en-  
sure that small children do not  
touch the oven when it is being used.  
External parts of the oven such as door  
glass, handle vents and the facia panel  
can become quite hot.  
Eggs can be cooked without their  
shells in the microwave oven only if  
the yolk membrane has been punc-  
tured several times first. The pressure  
could otherwise cause the egg yolk to  
explode.  
Wearing heat-resistant oven gloves  
is recommended when placing  
food in the oven, turning it or removing  
it. When the Grill function has been  
chosen, either solo or in a combination  
programme the element becomes very  
hot and there is a danger of burning.  
Do not reheat food in the oven in  
heat-retaining bags intended for  
normal ovens. These heat-retaining  
bags usually contain a thin layer of alu-  
minium foil which reflects microwaves.  
This reflected energy can, in turn,  
cause the outer paper covering to be-  
come so hot that it ignites.

Operating modes  
Microwave h  
All food contains moisture molecules  
which, when subjected to microwave  
energy, start to oscillate 2.5 thousand  
million 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 centre. The  
moisture, fat and sugar content of food  
will affect the speed at which it is  
cooked.  
Microwave cooking offers the benefits  
of speed, convenience and nutritional  
advantages when food does not require  
browning or crisping.  
Functional description  
As heat is produced directly in the  
food,  
– food can generally be cooked with-  
out adding much liquid or cooking oil  
– cooking, reheating and defrosting in  
a microwave oven is quicker than us-  
ing traditional oven methods  
– nutrients, such as vitamins and min-  
erals, are generally retained  
This oven is equipped with a magne-  
tron a, which converts electrical en-  
ergy into microwaves.  
– colour, texture and taste of food are  
not impaired  
A stirrer fan b above the oven ceiling  
distributes the microwaves evenly  
throughout the oven interior, rebound-  
ing them off the walls so that they reach  
and enter the food from all sides.  
– the surface temperature stays cool  
enough to avoid browning.  
In order for microwaves to reach the  
food, they must be able to penetrate  
the cooking utensil being used.  
Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,  
glass, cardboard and plastics but not  
metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils  
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 lead to the creation of  
sparks. The microwaves cannot be ab-  
sorbed.

These cook and brown the food.  
The combination programmes enable  
the grill or the fan setting to be used in  
conjunction with the microwave facility.  
Fan Heat D  
The fan circulates heat constantly  
around the oven, giving a very even  
temperature throughout.  
A microwave power level and cooking  
time are programmed together with ei-  
ther the grill or the fan to run simulta-  
neously.

ement and blows it back through the  
carefully spaced openings in the back  
panel.  
This enables cooking times to be re-  
duced, yet a crisp, brown result can still  
be achieved without compromising the  
flavour or texture of the recipe.  
As the heat is quickly transferred to the  
food, it is not usually necessary to pre-  
heat the oven, except when roasting  
sirloin or fillet or for foods such as puff

With Fan Heat food can be baked or  
roasted on both levels at the same time.  
Grill n  
Note that this function is best suited to  
browning food and for grilling very thin  
cuts of food.  
As the element needs to radiate a high  
heat in order to cook the food, it will  
take several minutes after being  
switched on to glow red hot and so pro-  
duce sufficient infra-red heat for grilling.  
Pre-heat the with the oven door closed  
for approx. 5 minutes before starting to

Before using for the first time  
^ Wipe out the oven interior with hot  
water and a little washing up liquid.  
Dry using a soft cloth.  
Do not shut the oven door until the  
interior is completely dry, to avoid  
odours and the possibility of corro-  
sion developing.  
^ Wash the accessories.  
With new appliances there is usually a  
smell during the first use. It is dispelled  
more quickly by using a high tempera-  
ture as follows:  
^ Turn the temperature selector to  
200 °C.  
Only turn the temperature selector  
clockwise and then back again anti-  
clockwise. Do not force it past the  
resistance. Otherwise it could be  
damaged.  
Run the oven on the Fan Heat D set-  
ting for at least an hour:  
The oven begins to heat up. The indica-  
tor light on the control panel stays alight

Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
Microwaves  
Material and shape  
The material and shape of containers  
used affect cooking results and times.  
Heat distribution is more even in round  
and oval shaped dishes than in rectan-  
gular containers, providing better re-  
sults.  
Metal  
Metal containers, aluminium foil and  
metal cutlery, or china with metallic  
decoration such as gold rims or co-  
balt blue must not be used in micro-  
wave mode.  
– are reflected by metal,  
The metal reflects the microwaves, hin-  
dering the cooking process.  
Exceptions:  
If recommended by the producer, pre-  
cooked meals packed in aluminium foil  
containers can be defrosted and re-  
heated in the microwave oven. Impor-  
tant: remove the lid first. However, as  
food is only heated from the top, it is  
better to remove the food from the alu-  
minium foil container and transfer it to a  
dish suitable for a microwave oven. The  
heat distribution will be more even. If  
sparks and arcing occur when using a  
metal container, stop and transfer the  
food to a microwave safe container.  
– pass through glass, chinaware, plas-  
tic and card,  
– and are absorbed by food.  
For even defrosting and to avoid over-  
cooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat,  
poultry or fish, small pieces of alu-  
minium foil may be used to mask wing-  
tips or other thin parts for the last few  
minutes of the process.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
Decorated earthenware is only suitable  
if the decoration is beneath an all-over  
glaze.  
Make sure that the aluminium foil is  
at least 2 cm from the oven walls at  
all times. It must not touch the walls.  
Earthenware can get very hot, and  
may crack.  
Metal meat skewers or clamps should  
only be used if they are very small in  
comparison to the size of the cut of  
meat.  
Porcelain (chinaware)  
Porcelain is suitable, however contain-  
ers with hollow handles and lid knobs  
must only be used if they have vent  
holes, which allow the moisture to es-  
cape. Without vent holes there can be a  
pressure build-up, causing the con-  
tainer to crack or shatter, with the dan-  
ger of injury.  
The rack supplied with the appliance is  
suitable for use in a microwave oven.  
Do not place the rack on the oven floor.  
The rack can get hot.  
Glassware  
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass  
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.  
Do not use porcelain with gold or silver  
edging or items with hollow knobs or  
handles as insufficient ventilation may  
cause pressure.  
Crystal glass contains lead which could  
cause the glass to crack. Glass dishes  
with a milled rim are subject to the  
same risk. Both are unsuitable.  
Glazes and colours  
Some glazes and colours contain  
metal.  
Earthenware  
Although some ovenproof earthenware  
can be used in a microwave oven it  
may contain a considerable amount of  
moisture, causing it to become hot dur-  
ing use. It is normally advisable to  
avoid using it in a microwave oven.  
This makes them unsuitable for use in a  
microwave oven.  
Earthenware containers with hollow  
handles and lid knobs must only be  
used if they have vent holes, which al-  
low the moisture to escape. Without  
vent holes there can be a pressure  
build-up, causing the container to crack  
or shatter, with the danger of injury.

Disposable containers, such as trays  
made from polystyrene, can only be  
used for very short timed warming and  
reheating of food.  
Plastic boiling bags can be used for  
cooking and reheating. To reduce the  
risk of the bag bursting, they should be  
pierced first so that steam can escape  
and prevent a build-up of pressure.  
Disposable containers  
Only those plastic disposable contain-  
ers which are specified by the manu-  
facturer as suitable for use in a micro-

Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
A cover  
Sealed glass containers, such as  
jars of food, must be opened before  
they are placed in the oven.  
– prevents too much steam escaping,  
especially when cooking food which  
needs longer to cook, such as pota-  
toes,  
Do not use a cover if  
– shortens and evens out the cooking  
process,  
– cooking meals which are to be given  
a crisp finish,  
– prevents food from drying out,  
– prevents any loss of aroma.  
– cooking breaded or battered foods  
– using a combination programme.  
Always use lids or covers made of mi-  
crowave-safe glass or plastic, or use a  
clingfilm recommended for use in a mi-  
crowave oven, (pierce as instructed by  
the manufacturer). Unsuitable clingfilm  
can melt into the food.

Defrosting  
The microwave function can be used to After defrosting  
defrost food gently and quickly.  
Allow the food to stand at room temper-  
ature long enough to allow the tempera-  
ture to spread evenly throughout the  
food.  
The following settings are recom-  
mended as a general guide:  
– 150 W  
for defrosting quite delicate food e.g.  
milk, cake etc.  
For more detailed information on de-  
frosting consult a good microwave  
or microwave combi-oven cookbook.  
– 80 W  
for defrosting very delicate food e.g.  
cream, butter, gateau and cheese.  
^ Remove the food from its packaging  
and place it in a microwave-safe con-  
tainer.  
^ Place the container in the middle of  
the oven floor.  
If defrosting a large quantity, e.g. 2 kg  
of fish, you can also use the glass tray  
as a container. Place the glass tray on  
the oven floor.  
Turn, stir or separate the food about  
half-way through the defrosting time.

Reheating  
The microwave function h can be  
used to reheat food.  
Always use a lid or cover for reheating  
food, except when a drier finish is  
needed, e.g. breaded poultry / meat.  
Select the following microwave power  
settings to reheat food  
When reheating liquids place the boil-  
ing rod supplied into the cup or glass.  
– drinks  
900 W,  
900 W or 600 W  
450 W.  
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a mi-  
crowave oven, even without the shell.  
The eggs can burst.  
– food  
– * food for babies  
Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-  
retaining bags intended for normal ov-  
ens. These usually contain a thin layer  
of aluminium foil which reflects micro-  
waves. This reflected energy can cause  
the outer paper covering to become so  
hot that it ignites.  
* Baby food  
We do not recommend heating or re-  
heating foods or drinks for babies or  
young children in the microwave  
oven. Any decision to do this is the  
responsibility of the user, and should  
only be done with the utmost care.  
The time required depends largely on  
the nature of the food, its initial temper-  
ature and the amount to be cooked.  
Food taken straight from the refrigerator  
takes longer to reheat than food stored  
at room temperature.  
Always remove the lids from jars, es-  
pecially jars of baby food. Remove  
the rubber teat and seal top before  
warming baby bottles.  
Pasteurised or sterilised cooked  
food should be gently heated at  
450 watts, and tasted so that it is not  
too hot for a baby's palate before  
serving. Other food or drink when re-  
heated should be heated to a high  
temperature and allowed to cool to a  
suitable heat for consumption. For  
made-up milk follow the manufac-  
turer's instructions.  
Always ensure that the food is ade-  
quately heated.  
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high  
temperature has been reached, con-  
tinue reheating for a little longer.  
Stir or turn food from time to time during  
cooking. Stir the food from the outside  
towards the middle, as food heats more  
quickly from the outside.  
After reheating stir the food or shake  
the container and check that the  
temperature does not pose any dan-  
ger. Double check after it has been  
left to stand.

Reheating  
After re-heating  
For more detailed information on re-  
heating consult a good microwave  
or microwave combi-oven cookbook.  
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 micro-  
waves, (apart from stoneware and simi-  
lar dishes), 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 once a programme  
has ended to allow heat to be distrib-  
uted evenly.  
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.

Cooking  
Microwave, traditional and combination Eggs can be cooked without their shells  
programmes are all suitable for cook-  
ing.  
in the microwave oven only if the yolk  
membrane has been punctured several  
times first. The pressure could other-  
wise cause the egg yolk to explode.  
Microwave h  
This method is suitable for cooking noo-  
dles, pasta, rice, semolina pudding etc.  
Fan Heat D  
First select 900 W and then turn down  
to 450 W to continue cooking, or 150 W  
for simmering.  
This method is recommended for every-  
day cooking, e.g. cakes, pastry, me-  
ringues, pizza, potatoes and other veg-  
etables.  
Place the food in a microwave-safe dish  
and cover it.  
Slide the glass tray with the rack into  
the lowest runner level.  
Place the dish on the oven floor.  
The following containers are suitable:  
Vegetable cooking times depend on the  
texture of the vegetable. Fresh vegeta-  
bles contain more water than vegeta-  
bles which have been stored and usu-  
ally cook more quickly. Add a little wa-  
ter to vegetables which have been kept  
stored. Stir and turn food at least once  
during cooking.  
Ovenproof china or glassware, earthen-  
ware, pans with heat resistant handles.  
Cover foods such as potatoes or vege-  
tables which are to be simmered or  
poached, to avoid them drying out.  
Where a crisp finish is required e.g. for  
meat, cook without a lid.  
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as  
tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes  
and aubergines, should be pierced or  
cut in several places to allow steam to  
escape and prevent the food from  
bursting.  
Eggs can only be cooked in their shells  
in the microwave oven in a specially  
designed egg-boiling device available  
from specialist shops. Similarly, hard-  
boiled eggs should not be reheated in  
the microwave oven as this may lead to  
the eggs bursting, even once they have  
been removed from the oven.

Cooking  
Combination programmes  
For more detailed information on  
cooking consult a good microwave  
or microwave combi-oven cookbook.  
Microwave + Fan Heat h + D  
is suitable if you want a shorter cooking  
time.  
Microwave + Grill h + n  
is suitable for cooking food which re-  
quires a crisp finish or browning.  
Place the cooking container on the  
glass tray and slide into the lowest run-  
ner level.  
Only use heat-resistant, microwave-  
safe crockery. No metal.  
Cover food being cooked in the Micro-  
wave + Fan Heat combination to avoid  
it drying out.  
Leave food being cooked in the Micro-  
wave + Grill combination uncovered so  
that it can brown.  
Ensure that food, such as meat and  
fish, are cooked for an appropriate  
length of time.

Defrosting and Reheating / Cooking  
For simultaneous defrosting and reheat- Microwave + Grill h + n  
ing or cooking the following functions  
This method is suitable for defrosting  
are suitable:  
and then reheating or cooking deep  
frozen ready made meals, which are to  
Microwave h  
be crisped and browned. Microwave  
output is limited to 450 watts when  
used with the grill.  
This method is suitable for defrosting  
and then reheating or cooking deep  
frozen ready made meals which you do  
not wish to brown.  
For deep-frozen pre-cooked meals  
which are to be crisped and browned,  
the Microwave + Grill combination can  
be selected. Select microwave power  
450 watts. The grill temperature cannot  
be altered.  
Deep frozen ready made meals can be  
defrosted and immediately reheated or  
cooked in the same process, selecting  
900 W and then 450 W.  
Put the ready made meal in a heat re-  
sistant, microwave-proof dish, and  
place on the glass tray. Slide the tray  
into the 2nd level. Do not cover.  
Remove the food from its packaging  
and place in a covered microwave-safe  
dish for defrosting and reheating or  
cooking. Exception: Minced meat  
should be left uncovered while cooking.  
Soups, stew and vegetables should be  
stirred several times during the pro-  
cess. Separate slices of meat half-way  
through the programme. Turn pieces of  
meat and fish at the half-way stage.  
Ready made meals in aluminium dishes  
can be placed directly on to the glass  
tray. If this does not brown the food as  
much as you would like, next time put  
the dish on the rack, and slide this to-  
gether with the glass tray into the first  
level from the bottom.  
Deep-frozen ready made meals in card-  
board trays which, according to manu-  
facturer's instructions, are suitable for  
use in a normal oven, are microwave-  
safe.  
For more detailed information on de-  
frosting followed by reheating or  
cooking consult a good microwave  
or microwave combi-oven cookbook.

Grilling  
The following grill settings are suitable  
for browning food:  
Slide the glass tray with the rack  
– into the upper (2nd) runner level for  
flat pieces of food  
Grill n is suitable for browning dishes  
such as cauliflower cheese. It can be  
used for grilling very thin meat or fish.  
– into the lowest runner level for thicker  
pieces of food  
Microwave + Grill h + n is suitable  
for cooking food which requires a crisp  
finish or browning. The microwave  
power output is limited to 450 W with  
this setting.  
Most items should be turned half way  
through cooking.  
Test to see if cooked  
One way of finding out how far through  
a piece of meat has been cooked is to  
press down on it with a spoon:  
Preparation of meat or fish  
Clean, wipe and season. Do not salt  
slices of meat beforehand as this draws – If there is very little resistance to the  
the juices out.  
pressure of the spoon, it is still red on  
the inside ("rare").  
Add a little oil if necessary. Other fats  
quickly become black or cause the  
food to smoke. A little butter can be  
added to chicken if desired.  
– If there is some resistance the inside  
will be pink ("medium").  
– If there is great resistance, it is  
throughly cooked through ("well  
done").  
Clean flat fish and slices of fish in the  
normal way. To enhance the taste add a  
little salt or squeeze a little lemon juice  
over the fish.  
For more detailed information on  
grilling consult a good microwave or  
microwave combi-oven cookbook.  
Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes  
with the oven door shut.  
Do not select a microwave setting.  
Brush the rack with oil and place the  
prepared food on the rack.  
It is best to grill food of a similar thick-  
ness at the same time so that the grill-  
ing time for each item does not vary too  
greatly.

Baking  
Fan Heat D  
Microwave + Fan Heat h + D  
This method is suitable for baking small This combination programme is suit-  
cakes, swiss roll, pastry doughs.  
able for doughs which require longer  
baking, such as rubbed in and beaten  
mixtures, yeast recipes and cheese-  
cake.  
Most types of heat-resistant tins or  
dishes are suitable, including thin-  
walled and bright, non-reflective metal  
tins.  
For preference use ovenproof glass or  
ceramic baking dishes, as microwaves  
can penetrate these materials into the  
food being cooked. Metal tins would re-  
flect microwaves, so that they would  
only reach the cakes from the top, re-  
sulting in a longer cooking time.  
Slide the glass tray with the rack into  
the 1st runner from the bottom, and  
place the baking tin on this.  
Do not push the glass tray right to  
the back wall, but leave a gap of  
about 2 cm. Otherwise browning will  
be uneven.  
Slide the glass tray into the 1st runner  
from the bottom, and place the baking  
dish on this.  
Baking time should not be too long.  
This can lead to the cake etc. drying  
out.  
Do not push the glass tray right to  
the back wall, but leave a gap of  
about 2 cm. Otherwise browning will  
be uneven.  
Increasing the temperature from sug-  
gested levels and reducing the time  
can have an adverse effect on brown-  
ing. To achieve even browning it might  
be better to select a slightly longer  
cooking time at a slightly lower temper-  
ature.

Baking  
With metal baking tins there may be  
sparking. Try positioning the tin differ-  
ently on the glass tray, and make sure  
the tin does not touch the interior walls.  
Temperature settings, times and micro-  
wave power settings in the Baking  
Chart are suggestions only. Select an  
average temperature and time for first  
attempts and adapt accordingly.  
If sparking continues, do not use this tin  
again in microwave combination mode.  
If the grease filter is in position in  
front of the fan grille opening this  
lengthens baking time.  
Do not use paper based containers  
coated with aluminium foil, such as  
are sometimes provided with packet  
cake mixes. There is the danger of  
these catching fire.  
At the end of the shorter time given,  
check to see whether the cake etc. is  
done. Insert a wooden or metal skewer  
in the centre. If it comes out clean with-  
out dough sticking to it, the cake is  
ready.  
Switch on the microwave setting for the  
total cooking time. The microwave set-  
ting should not be higher than 150 W.

be cleaned using warm water with a  
little washing up liquid applied with a  
soft sponge.  
Aluminium fronted appliances  
^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft  
cloth.  
Aluminium is affected by the way that  
light falls it, by the surrounding environ-  
ment and by the angle you observe it  
from.

Oven interior  
The oven interior is stainless steel. The  
high temperatures possible when oper-  
ating in a traditional oven mode can  
cause the steel to darken slightly.  
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers  
or sponges which have been previ-  
ously used with abrasive cleaning  
agents.  
The oven interior is hot after use.  
Take care not to burn yourself. Clean  
the oven interior regularly, preferably  
after each use. If left too long clean-  
ing becomes unnecessarily difficult,  
and in extreme cases impossible.  
To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary  
conditioning agent for stainless steel  
can also be used.  
Apply sparingly with even pressure us-  
ing a soft cloth.  
Turn the function selector to the Light  
nsetting and clean using a solution of  
hot water and washing up liquid or mild  
detergent applied with a sponge, soft  
brush or damp cloth. Wipe dry with a  
soft cloth.

avoid any damage.  
Do not use too much water on the  
cloth or sponge and do not let water  
or any other substance find its way  
into any openings.  
Do not use any scouring agents.  
These cause scratches.  
Residues of fruit juices as well as cake  
mixtures are best removed while the  
oven is warm. Spillages of fruit juices  
can cause lasting discoloration.  
Carefully refit the glass pane as follows:  
If using an oven spray, the manufac-  
turer's instructions must be followed.  
Do not spray into any of the open-

Problem solving guide  
Repairs to this appliance should  
only be carried out by a suitably  
qualified and competent service  
technician approved by Miele. Un-  
authorised repairs could be danger-  
ous.  
The following can be corrected without  
calling the Miele Service Department:  
^ Loosen and remove the lamp cover  
(1.). This may be easier using a rub-  
ber glove.  
What to do if . . . .  
. . . the display area is dark  
^ Check whether:  
^ Take out the halogen lamp (2).  
Exercise caution when changing a  
light bulb. Halogen lights get very hot  
during use and will remain hot for  
some time after being switched off.  
– the appliance is correctly plugged in,  
– the mains fuse has blown (call the  
Service Department),  
^ Do not touch the surface directly  
when changing the bulb as grease  
particles from your fingers will adhere  
to the surface and damage it. Please  
follow manufacturer's instructions.  
. . . a process will not start.  
^ Check whether:  
– if operating in microwave mode the  
appliance door is properly shut,  
^ Fit a new halogen lamp.  
– if operating in microwave mode a  
power setting and time have been  
entered.  
Connection data for halogen lamp:  
12 V, 10 W  
Temperature resistant to 300 °C,  
W271 socket, Osram, Type 64418  
. . . the microwave / heating functions  
but not the interior lighting.  
The pins must lie horizontally to the ap-  
pliance. Push the lamp in until it en-  
gages.  
The halogen bulb needs replacing.  
Replace it with a new one as follows:  
^ Screw the lamp cover back on.  
Disconnect the appliance from the  
electricity supply, (switch off and un-  
plug at the socket, or remove the  
fuse, or switch off at the isolator as  
appropriate).  
^ Reconnect the appliance to the  
mains supply.

Problem solving guide  
. . . the food is not sufficiently heated  
or is not cooked at the end of a set  
time  
– the colour and composition of the  
baking tins being used. Try using a  
different tin next time.  
^ Check whether:  
. . . food cools down too quickly after  
being reheated or cooked in micro-  
wave mode.  
– the cooking process has been inter-  
rupted and was not re-started,  
– if cooking / reheating in microwave  
mode the correct time was selected  
for the setting chosen.  
When cooked by microwaves, food be-  
gins 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. During standing time heat  
is transferred to the centre of the food.  
Food may be warm in the middle but  
cool on the edge.  
A lower power setting normally re-  
quires a longer time.  
. . . cakes or biscuits are not cooked  
after a recommended time  
^ Check whether:  
– the correct temperature was set.  
When reheating food with different den-  
sities, such as plated meals, it is sensi-  
ble to start with a low power level and  
lengthen the time required.  
– there has been a change to the rec-  
ipe. The addition of more liquid or  
more eggs makes a moister mix  
which would take longer to cook.  
. . . strange noises are heard when  
the microwave or microwave / combi-  
nation mode is being used.  
– whether the grease filter had been  
left in place. A longer time would be  
needed if this were the case.  
^ Check whether  
. . . cakes or biscuits are unevenly  
browned  
– sparks are being created by the use  
of metallic crockery, (see "suitable  
crockery").  
There will always be a degree of differ-  
ence in browning.  
– the food is covered with aluminium  
foil. If so, remove it.  
^ If browning is very uneven, check:  
– whether the temperature was set too  
high,  
– whether the glass tray had been  
pushed so far in that it touched the  
back wall,  
– whether the grease filter had been  
left in place on the back wall,
