Warning and Safety instructions
Warning and Safety instructions
Repairs may only be carried out by
suitably competent and qualified ser-
vice technicians trained by Miele to en-
sure safety. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous.
This appliance complies with all rele-
vant legal safety requirements. Im-
proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using
the appliance for the first time, read
the operating instructions carefully.
They contain important notes on
safety, on the operation and care of
the appliance. This way you will
avoid the risk of accidents and dam-
age to the appliance.
Never open the casing of the ap-
pliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or
components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults or electric shock.
If the connection cable is dam-
aged the new cable must be fitted
by a Miele service engineer or an auth-
orised agent.
Do not let children access the ap-
pliance or its controls. Supervise its
use by the elderly or infirm.
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that the
rating on the data plate corresponds to
the voltage and frequency of the house-
hold supply. It is essential that these data
correspond as otherwise damage will
occur to the machine. If in doubt consult
a suitably competent person.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any fu-
ture user.
Correct usage
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only: to cook food, and
in particular to defrost, re-heat, cook,
and to grill. Any other usage is at the
owner’s risk and could be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for damage caused by im-
proper use of the appliance.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system, which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system such as electric
shock.
Technical safety
Do not use the microwave if
– 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. Switching on with this
type of damage could result in micro-
waves no longer being contained
within the oven, and presenting a ha-
zard to the user.

Always remember that cooking
times in a microwave oven are
usually considerably shorter than with
traditional methods of food preparation.
Excessively long cooking times can
lead to food drying out and eventually
burning, or could even cause it to
catch fire.

– The house mains fuse is switched off.
– The fuse is screwed out ( in countries
where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance, (for
example danger of overheating).
There is also a danger of fire if bread-
crumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., are dried
in the microwave oven. Always ensure
that this type of procedure is super-
vised.

contain micro organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking, there-
fore when cooking or reheating foods,
e.g. poultry it is particularly important

more than 70 °C, for more than 10
minutes). If in any doubt as to whether
the selected time or temperature is suffi-
cient, select a slightly longer time or
higher temperature.
bottles. With babies’ bottles the screw
top and teat must be removed. Other-
wise pressure builds up which can
cause the bottle or container to ex-
plode posing a severe risk of injury.
Always check the temperature of
the actual food itself after taking it
out of the microwave. Do not be misled
by the temperature of the container. In
particular when preparing food for
babies, children, and the elderly or
infirm, it is essential to check the
temperature of the food or liquid it-
self, after stirring and before serving
to avoid a burnt mouth. The tempera-
ture of the container does not necessar-
ily give a correct indication of the tem-
perature of the food or liquid it contains.
It is important that the heat is
allowed to spread evenly throug-
hout the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which

removed. Such items could be dam-
aged, or cause a fire hazard.
The rack supplied with the appliance is
designed to be compatible with micro-
waves, and can therefore be used for
grilling with and without the microwave
function.
When heating, and especially reheating
liquids, milk, sauces etc., in the micro-
wave oven, the boiling point of the liq-
uid may be reached without the produc-
tion of typical bubbles. The liquid does
not boil evenly throughout. This so-
called ’boiling delay’ can cause a sud-
den build up of bubbles, when the con-
tainer is removed from the oven or
shaken. This can lead to the liquid boil-
ing over suddenly and explosively.
There is a danger of burning. The for-
mation of bubbles can be so strong
that the pressure forces the oven door
open. The user could be injured and
the appliance damaged.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device.
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.
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.
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid
boils evenly and that bubbles form at
an early stage during the operation.

How does the microwave oven function?
How does the microwave oven function?
In the microwave oven, food is cooked,
reheated or defrosted more quickly
than by any other method.
Microwaves pass through a suitable
container and find their way directly
into the foodstuff. All foodstuffs contain
moisture molecules which, when sub-
jected to microwave energy, start to os-
cillate 2.5 thousand million times a sec-
ond. The friction caused by this
How does the microwave oven func-
tion?
vibration creates heat, which first starts
developing around the outside of the
foodstuff and then slowly penetrates to-
wards the centre. The moisture, fat and
sugar content of food will affect the
speed at which it is cooked.
As heat is produced directly in the food,
– food can generally be cooked with-
out adding much liquid or cooking
oil.
– cooking, re-heating and defrosting in
a microwave oven is quicker than
using conventional methods.
In a microwave oven there is a high-fre-
quency tube called a magnetron b.
This converts electrical energy into
microwaves. These microwaves are dis-
tributed evenly throughout the oven in-
terior by a metal fan blade known as a
stirrer c -, rebounding off the metal
sides of the oven interior and thereby
reaching the food from all sides. Micro-
wave distribution is improved by engag-
ing the turntable.
– nutrients, such as vitamins and mine-
rals, are retained.
– colour, texture and taste of food are
not impaired.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate
the cooking utensil being used. Micro-
waves 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.

Calculating power settings
Calculating power settings
This microwave has 9 power settings.
Where the recipe gives a wattage
which does not correspond exactly to
the table, select the nearest power set-
ting available. It may be necessary to
adjust the time very slightly to compen-
sate.
Very often, power is expressed in watts
on food packaging or in general
recipes for microwaving.
The following table should help to con-
vert the watts given to a matching
power setting with these ovens.
For appliances with a maximum setting
of 1000 watts we recommend using the
top setting (9) to heat clear liquids and
keep them simmering. To prepare
noodles and vegetables setting 8 is
suggested followed by 4 or 5.

Microwaves
Material and shape
The material and shape of containers
used affect the cooking results and
times. Round and oval shaped ones
provide good results. Heat distribution
is more even than it is in rectangular
containers.
Metal
The following do not belong in an
oven being used in microwave
mode. Metal containers, aluminium
foil and metal cutlery, or china with
metallic decoration, such as gold
rims or cobalt blue.
– 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. Import-
ant: remove the lid first. The disadvant-
age is that the food is only heated from
the top. It is better to remove the food
from the aluminium foil container and
transfer it to a dish suitable for a micro-
wave oven. The heat distribution will be
more even.
– pass through glass and china-
ware, . . .
If sparks and arcing occur when using
a metal container, stop and transfer the
food to a microwave safe container.
– Small pieces of aluminium foil. For
even defrosting and to avoid overcook-
ing unevenly shaped cuts of meat,
poultry or fish, small areas of aluminium
foil may be used to mask wingtips or
other thin parts for the last few minutes
– and are absorbed by food.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens
of the process. The aluminium foil must
not touch the interior walls of the oven.
Glazes and colours
Some glazes and colours contain
metal.
Make sure that the aluminium foil is
at least 2 cm from the oven walls at
all times. It must not touch the walls.
This makes them unsuitable for use in a
microwave oven.
– Metal meat skewers or clamps:
Metal skewers and clamps should only
be used if they are very small in com-
parison to the size of the cut of meat.
Plastics
Plastic containers must only be
used for microwave mode alone
and not in normal oven mode. Plas-
tics must be heat-resistant to a mini-
mum of 180°C.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.
Otherwise the plastic may melt and
fuse with the food.
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 for use.
Special plastic utensils, designed for
use in microwave ovens are available
from most department and hardware
stores. Melamine ware is not suitable
as it absorbs energy and heats up.
Porcelain (chinaware)
Porcelain (chinaware) is a suitable ma-
terial.
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a micro-
wave oven.
Do not use porcelain with gold or sil-
ver edging or items with hollow
knobs or handles, as insufficient
ventilation may cause pressure.
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used for very short timed warming and
re-heating of food.
Earthenware
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and re-heating. They
should be pierced beforehand so
that steam can escape.
Decorated earthenware is only suit-
able if the decoration is beneath an
all-over glaze. Earthenware can get
very hot, and may crack.
This prevents a build-up of pressure
and reduces the risk of the bag bur-
sting.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
Roasting bags and tubes can be used.
Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm
longer and roasting bags about 20 cm
longer than the food being roasted, and
carefully tied with string. Turn the ends
over and secure them. Holes should be
made according to the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
Testing dishes for their suita-
bility
If in doubt as to whether glass, earthen-
ware or porcelain plates or dishes are
suitable for use in a microwave oven, a
simple test can be performed:
Place the item you wish to test in the
centre of the oven, fill a suitable
glass with water and also place this
in the oven.
Do not use metal clips or wire ties,
even if bound by paper.
Close the door.
There is a danger that they will ignite
when heated.
Enter a time of 30 seconds with the
time selector m.
Wood
Select power setting P 8 with the ü
touchpad, or for the M 616 EG P 9.
Wooden dishes are not suitable
Do not switch off the turntable ä.
Moisture contained in the wood evap-
orates when exposed to microwave en-
ergy, causing the wood to dry and
crack.
Press the START control.
If a crackling noise is heard accom-
panied by sparks during the test,
switch off the appliance immediately.
Disposable containers
Only those plastic disposable con-
tainers which are specified by the pro-
ducer as suitable for use in a micro-
wave oven may be used.
Any crockery which causes this reac-
tion is unsuitable for use in the micro-
wave oven.
The water in the glass should be warm,
but the dish cool. If the dish is very hot
and the water is cold, it would be un-
wise to use the dish.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when re-heating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of plas-
tic paper or other inflammable ma-
terial.
Disposable containers are not always
recyclable or degradable.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens
Note: Although some ovenproof earth-
enware can be used in a microwave
oven, it may contain a considerable
amount of moisture, causing it to
become hot during use. It is normally
advisable to avoid using it in a micro-

If any doubt exists about the suita-
bility of containers, please contact
the maker.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use in a micro-

especially when cooking foodstuffs
which need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
Sealed glass containers, such as

process.
Do not use a lid or cover if:
– keeps the oven interior cleaner.
– prevents food from drying out.
– contains the aroma.
– food coated with breadcrumbs is
being cooked.
– cooking meals which are to be given
a crisp finish.

Microwave-Solo
There is a choice of 9 power settings.
The higher the power setting, the more
microwaves reach the food.
When heating up food of differing com-
position, or which cannot be stirred or
turned during cooking, as with a plated
meal, it is preferable to heat these on a
lower power setting. This ensures that
the heat is distributed evenly. Heat for
long enough to reach the temperature
required.
Press the m touchpad and use the
+/- touchpads to enter the cooking
time you require (5 seconds up to 99
minutes).
Press the ü touchpad.

Times for defrosting, reheating and
cooking
The necessary time depends on:
An audible tone sounds when the
cooking time has elapsed.
– the initial temperature of the food.
Food taken from the refrigerator will
need longer to be reheated or
cooked than food already at room
temperature.
– the type and texture of the food.
Fresh vegetables probably contain
more water and cook more quickly
than stored vegetables.
Press touchpad C to turn off the tone
early.
Press the ü touchpad if you want to
call up the power setting while the ap-
pliance is in operation.
– the shape and material of the con-
tainer.
– the amount of food.
Automatic "Keeping warm"
The automatic "keeping warm" function
will switch on for a maximum of 15
minutes after a cooking process using
a power setting of 5 or higher has fin-
ished.
In general:
Double the amount of food - at least
one third extra cooking time.
For smaller amounts of food reduce
the time accordingly.
H:H and the symbol h appear in the
display area. The turntable continues to
operate.
The process is cut short if the door is
opened during this time.
Ideally the container should be
placed in the middle of the oven.

Reheating
Select the following microwave power
settings to reheat food:

pecially jars of baby food.

When re-heating liquids place the
boiling rod supplied with the ma-
chine into the cup or glass.
(See table on page 12 for ovens with
maximum microwave output of less
than 900/1000 watts.)
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a
microwave oven, even without the
shell. The eggs can burst.
* 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 ut-
most care. Pasteurised or sterilised
cooked food should be gently
heated on level 4, (5 or 6) accord-
ing to model, see table on page 12,
and tasted so that it is not too hot
for a baby’s palate before serving.
Other food or drink when reheated
should be heated to a high tempera-
ture and allowed to cool to a suit-
able heat for eating. For made-up
milk follow the maker’s instructions.
The time required depends largely on
the nature and initial temperature of the
food and the amount to be cooked.
Food taken straight from the fridge or
freezer requires for example longer to
reheat than food stored at room tem-
perature.
Always ensure that the food is thor-
oughly heated.
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached, con-
tinue re-heating for a little longer.
Stir or turn food from time to time dur-
ing cooking. Stir the food from the out-
side towards the middle, as food heats
more quickly from the outside.

Practical tips
Practical tips
After re-heating
Ensure that perishable types of
food, such as meat and fish, are
cooked for an appropriate length of
time.
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.
For dishes such as rice or semolina
pudding first select power setting 8 or
for M 616 EG setting 9 and then turn
down to power setting 2 to complete
cooking.
Allow food to stand for a few minutes
once a programme has ended to allow
heat to be distributed evenly.
For food with skin or peel, such as to-
matoes, some types of sausage, jacket
potatoes and aubergines, should be
pricked or the skin cut several times be-
fore cooking to prevent food from bur-
sting.
After re-heating food, especially
food for babies and small children,
stir the food or shake the container
and check that the temperature
does not pose any danger. Double
check after it has been left to stand.
Boiling eggs in the microwave oven
is not possible without a special
egg-boiling device, available from
specialist shops.
Cooking
Place the food in a covered microwave-
safe dish.
Otherwise the eggs will burst. Eggs
can only be cooked in a microwave
oven out of their shells in a glass dish.
The yolk must be pricked several times
first with a sharp object.
When cooking fresh vegetables, fish,
meat, poultry first select power setting
8 or for M 616 EG setting 9, and then
select power setting 5 or for M 616 EG
setting 6 to continue cooking.
Add a little water to vegetables which
have been kept stored. Vegetable cook-
ing times depend on the texture of the
vegetable. Fresh vegetables contain
water and usually cook more quickly.
Stir and turn food at least once during
cooking.

Defrosting
Defrosting and reheating or
cooking
Deep-frozen pre-cooked food can be
defrosted and immediately reheated or
cooked, using the combination of the
two automatic programmes, Auto de-
frost and Auto cook.
Remove the frozen food from its packa-
ging and place in a covered micro-
wave-safe container, to defrost without
a lid. Turn, stir or separate the food
about half-way through the programme.
To defrost delicate foods, e.g. cream,
butter, gateaux and cheese, select the
microwave setting 1. However to
achieve an even result remove from the
oven and allow to finish defrosting at
room temperature.
Remove the food from its packaging
and place in a covered microwave-safe
dish for defrosting and re-heating or
cooking. Exception: Minced meat
should be left uncovered while cook-
ing. Soups, stew and vegetables
should be stirred several times during
the process. Separate slices of meat
half-way through the programme. Turn
pieces of meat and fish at the half-way
stage.
To defrost meat unpack the frozen
meat and lay it on an upturned plate in
a glass or china container so that the
meat juice can run out, but be col-
lected. Turn half way through defrost-
ing.
Deep-frozen pre-cooked meals in card-
board trays which, according to manu-
facturer’s instructions are suitable for
use in a conventional oven, are micro-
wave-safe.
For defrosting basic food stuffs such
as bread, cakes or fruit microwave
power setting 2 is recommended.
After defrosting
Allow the food to stand at room tem-
perature for approximately the same
amount of time spent for defrosting to
enable the heat to spread evenly
throughout the food.
After defrosting followed by re-heat-
ing or cooking.
Allow the food to stand at room tem-
perature long enough to enable the
heat to spread evenly throughout the
food.

ably qualified and competent ser-
vice technicians trained by Miele.
Improper repairs may pose a
serious risk to the user.
Check whether the path described
by the ring on the base of the oven
interior under the turntable is clean,
and if not remove any soiling.
The following minor malfunctions how-
ever can usually be resolved without
calling the Service Department:
. . . strange noises are heard when

a time has been entered.
. . . food cools down too quickly.
the appliance is plugged in to the
mains supply.
In the microwave oven, food begins to
cook from the outside first, the inside of
the food relying on the slower conduc-
tion of heat.
the mains fuse has blown (call a
qualified electrician or the Service
department, see "After Sales Ser-
vice").
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.
When reheating food with different den-
sities, such as plated meals it is sen-
sible to start with a low power level and
lengthen the time required.
. . . food is not adequately defrosted,
heated or cooked at the end of the
selected process time.
check whether the correct power set-
ting was selected for the time set.
The lower the power setting the longer
the time required.
check whether the process has been
interrupted and not restarted.
