Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
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 by
observing a sufficiently long standing
time, which should be added to the
time needed for cooking, reheating or
defrosting.
Caution. Danger of burning.
The oven interior will become very
hot when operating with functions
which do not use microwave power
and also combination programmes
which do use microwave power.

Items can get extremely hot and there
is a danger of burning when the item is
removed.
Before serving, remember to allow a
~
sufficient standing time and then
always check the temperature of the
food after taking it out of the oven. The
temperature of the container is not an
indication of the temperature of the
food or liquid in it.
This is particularly important when
preparing food for babies, children
and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir
baby milk and food thoroughly after
heating, and try it for temperature to
ensure that it will not scald the baby.
When heating food and drinks
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc,
using microwave power without the
boiling rod, the boiling point of the
liquid may be reached without the
production of typical bubbles. The
liquid does not boil evenly throughout.
This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause
a sudden build up of bubbles when the
container is removed from the oven or
shaken. This can lead to the liquid
boiling over suddenly and explosively.
Danger of burning.
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.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids
~
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be loosened. Otherwise
pressure builds up which can cause
the bottle or container to explode,
posing a severe risk of injury.
The formation of bubbles can be so
strong that the pressure forces the oven
door open. The user could be injured
and the appliance damaged.

considerable amount of moisture.
Earthenware and porcelain containers
with hollow handles and lid knobs must
only be used with microwave power 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.
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.
To check the temperature of the
~
food, first interrupt the cooking process.
Only use a thermometer specifically
approved for food use to measure the
temperature of the food. Never use a
thermometer containing mercury or
liquid, as these are not suitable for use
with very high temperatures and will
break very easily.
Do not reheat 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 aluminium foil which reflects
microwaves. This reflected energy can,
in turn, cause the outer paper covering
to become so hot that it ignites.

appliance. If spare parts or accessories
from other manufacturers are used, this
will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.
Eggs can only be cooked in their

shells using microwave heat in a
specially designed egg-boiling device
available from specialist shops.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not
be reheated using microwave power as
this may lead to the eggs exploding,

your household waste.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Description of functions
Safety features
System lock
Use
The system lock prevents the appliance being used
by children, for example.
Safety cut-out
A function without microwave can be started
without selecting a cooking duration. To prevent
over-use and the consequent danger of fire, the
appliance switches off automatically after a certain
length of time. This can be between 1 hour and 10
hours, depending on the function and temperature
chosen.
If a combination programme is followed in quick
succession by another combination programme, the
magnetron (which produces the microwaves) cannot
be switched on again until after approx. 10 seconds
have elapsed. For this reason you will need to wait a
short while before starting the second programme.
Energy saving function
Door contact switch
Use
If the door is opened during a programme that is not
using microwaves, the heat in the oven automatically
switches off. The fans continue to operate. As soon
as the door is closed again, the programme will
continue.
However, if the door is opened during a
combination programme, the cooling fan will
switch off and the programme must be started again
after you have closed the door.
"Switch off time-of-day
display" function
The standard factory default setting can be changed
so that the time of day continues to run unseen in
the background. The display remains dark. The time
of day display is switched on and is visible in the
display when the appliance is operated (see
"Settings - Time of day display").
17
Functions
_ Microwave
As heat is produced directly in the
food,
In a microwave oven there is a high-
frequency tube called a magnetron.
This converts electrical energy into
microwaves. These microwaves are
distributed evenly throughout the oven
interior and rebound off the metal sides
of the oven interior to reach the food
from all sides.
– food can generally be cooked
without adding much liquid or
cooking oil.
– cooking, reheating and defrosting is
much quicker than when using a
function which does not use
microwave energy.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate
the cooking container being used (see
"Suitable containers for microwave
ovens"). Microwaves pass through a
suitable container and find their way
directly into the food.
– nutrients, such as vitamins and
minerals, are generally retained.
– the colour, texture and taste of food
are not impaired.
Power level
All food contains moisture molecules
which when subjected to microwave
energy start to oscillate vigorously. The

selected:

(Combination programmes)
U Fan plus
b Microwave+Grill
This system works by the circulation of
heated air. As the heated air reaches
the food straight away, temperatures
are lower than those needed for
"Conventional heat" where the heat is
directed at the food from above and
below.
a Microwave+Fan plus
M Microwave+Fan grill
The combination programmes enable
food to be reheated and cooked
quickly with even browning results.
When using Fan plus you can cook on
two different levels at the same time.
The Microwave+Fan plus combination
programme is the most effective
because the heat reaches the food im-
mediately giving the greatest savings in
both time and energy.
Y Grill
This function can be used for grilling
thin cuts and for browning cooked
dishes, e.g. pasta bakes. The grill is
ready for use when it glows red.
In general when using the combination
programmes, you should not set the
microwave power level higher than
150 W for baking, and not higher than
300 W for cooking, roasting and grilling.
P Defrost
The air in the oven is kept at room
temperature and circulated by the fan
to gently defrost frozen food.
\ Fan grill
Temperatures used for Fan grill are
lower than those used with the Grill
function.
For grilling thick cuts, e.g. rolled meat,
poultry.
S Rapid heat-up
This function heats up the appliance
quickly to the temperature required.
The temperature indicator light will go

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 flat containers than in
rectangular containers, providing better
results.
,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

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.

However, it must not be placed on
the oven floor.
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.
– Metal baking trays can be used with
combination programmes which use
microwave power.
Crystal glass is unsuitable as it
contains lead which could cause the
glass to crack in the microwave.
– If recommended by the producer,
pre-cooked meals in aluminium foil
containers can be defrosted and
reheated in the appliance using
microwave power. Important:
Remove the lid first.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
Do not use porcelain with gold or
silver edging or items with hollow
knobs or handles, as insufficient
ventilation may cause pressure.
However, as 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

Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Do not place aluminium foil dishes
on the rack in case the dish sparks
or arcs. If sparks occur, transfer
food to a microwave-safe container.
Earthenware can get very hot, and
may crack.
– For even defrosting and to avoid
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts
of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces
of aluminium foil may be used to
mask wing-tips or other thin parts for
the last few minutes of the process.
Glazes and colours
Some glazes and colours contain
metals which make them unsuitable
for use in a microwave oven.
Make sure that the aluminium foil is

from good retail outlets.
Melamine is not suitable for use in this
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave
energy and gets hot. When purchasing
plasticware, make sure that it is suitable
for use in a microwave oven.
Do not leave the oven unattended

Testing dishes for their
Placing the dish in the oven
suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass,
earthenware or porcelain plates or
dishes are suitable for use in a
microwave oven, a simple test can
be performed:
^ Insert the glass tray in the oven at the
lowest shelf level 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.
^ Insert the glass tray at the lowest
shelf level.
^ The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the
glass tray.
^ Close the door.
^ Select the microwave function _
and select the highest power level
(1000 W).
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven defrosting/cooking/
reheating results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
^ Confirm with "OK".
^ Enter a duration of 30 seconds and
confirm with "OK".
At the end of the test, the water in
the glass should be warm and the
dish cool. If the dish is hot, it would
be unwise to use the dish.
If a cracking noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
test, switch the appliance off imme-
diately. Any crockery which causes
this reaction is unsuitable for use
with microwave power.
If any doubt exists about the
suitability of a container, please
contact the supplier.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
25
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
A cover
Do not use a cover if
– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
– food coated with breadcrumbs is
being cooked.
– cooking meals which are to be given
a crisp finish.
– speeds up the cooking process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven interior clean.
– using a combination programme
which uses microwave power.
,The cover supplied may only be
used in Microwave _ (Solo) mode.
The cover can only withstand
temperatures of up to 110 °C.
Higher temperatures generated by
grilling or fan heat could cause the
plastic to distort and fuse with the
food.
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.
When using programmes which use the
microwave function always cover the
food with lids or covers made of
microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use
a clingfilm recommened for use in a
microwave oven (pierce as instructed
by the manufacturer).
Unsuitable clingfilm can melt into the
food.
,Sealed glass containers, such as
jars of baby food, must be opened
before they are placed in the oven.

The duration required depends largely on the nature of the food, the amount and

longer to reheat than foods that are at room temperature.
Please refer to the relevant tables.

Defrosting, reheating and cooking using microwave power
Before defrosting, reheating and
cooking
After defrosting, reheating and
cooking
^ Place food (including frozen) in a
dish that is suitable for the
microwave, and cover it.
Allow the food to stand at room
temperature long enough to allow the
temperature to spread evenly
throughout the food.
^ Place the container in the middle of
the glass tray and insert it at the
lowest shelf level.
,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.
With combination programmes
Only use heat-resistant containers
which are microwave-safe.
A lid is generally not required.
It is essential not to cover food when
using "Microwave+Grill", as the food
will not brown.
,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.
^ Place the glass tray on the second
lowest shelf level.
Ready made meals in aluminium
containers must be placed directly onto
the glass tray.
During the defrosting, reheating and
cooking process
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Turn or stir the food several times. Stir
the food from the outside towards the
middle, as food heats more quickly
from the outside.
If in any doubt that the food has been
sufficiently reheated/cooked, place it
back in the appliance and reheat/cook
it for a little longer.
It is very important to make sure that
food which goes off easily, such as fish,
poultry and minced meat is cooked
sufficiently.

Guidance on reheating food
Guidance on cooking
Food for babies and young children
or the elderly must not be allowed to
get too hot. We do not recommend
heating or reheating 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. Pasteurised or
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.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should
not be cooked using the Microwave
_ function as this may lead to the
eggs exploding, even after they
have been taken out of the oven.
Eggs can, however, be cooked
using microwave power if you have
purchased special containers
designed for this purpose.
sterilised cooked food should be
gently heated using 450 watts, and
tasted to make sure it is not too hot
for a baby's palate before serving.
When reheating other food or drink,
heat to a high temperature and allow
to cool to a suitable heat for eating.
For formula milk, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Eggs can be cooked 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.
Always open glass jars.
Remove the lid from jars of baby
food.
Remove the screw cap and the teat
before heating up bottles of baby milk.
When reheating liquids place the
boiling rod supplied into the cup or
glass.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a
microwave oven, even without the
shell. The eggs can explode.

Bakeware made of any heat-resistant
material is suitable. Light-coloured,
thin-walled, non-reflective metal tins
can be used, but results may not be as
good as with dark non-reflective tins.
Suitable for doughs which require
longer baking, such as rubbed in and
beaten mixtures and yeast recipes.
The baking duration is shorter.
A microwave power level of no more
than 150 W is used throughout the
baking duration.
Microwave+Fan plus a
Only use heat-resistant bakeware which
is microwave-safe (see "Suitable
containers for microwaves" ), e.g
bakeware made of heat-resistant glass
or ceramics, as microwaves can
penetrate these materials.
Metal bakeware, on the other hand,
reflects microwaves, which are then
only able to access the cake from
above. A longer baking time would be
required. Furthermore, metal baking
tins can also cause sparking.
To check for suitability, place the tin on the
glass tray, and make sure it does not
touch the interior walls. If sparking
continues, do not use this tin again with a
microwave combination programme.

It is ready if the skewer comes out
clean, without dough or crumbs
sticking to it.
You can also programme the duration

Roasting
Roasting time
Useful tips
The roasting time will depend on the
type of meat, the size and thickness of
Take the meat out of the oven, wrap in
aluminium foil and leave to stand for

according to the type of meat, plus
20 minutes, adjusting the duration as
roasting proceeds to obtain the
required result.
juices when the meat is carved.
Roasting on the rack
When roasting on the rack set a
temperature of approx. 20 °C lower than
in a covered pot.
Browning only occurs towards the end
of the roasting time.
Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or
place a few strips of streaky bacon on
the top.
Remove the lid about 15 – 20 minutes
before the end of the roasting time if a
more extensive browing result is
required.
Do not add too much liquid during
cooking as this will hinder the browning
process.
Roasting bags
When using a roasting bag, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Roasting poultry
For a crisp finish, baste the poultry ten
minutes before the end of cooking time
with slightly salted water.
Frozen meat
Deep frozen meat should be thoroughly
defrosted before roasting.

Testing 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.
Temperature
220 °C
For thin cuts of meat
(e. g. chops or steak)
– If there is very little resistance to the
pressure of the spoon, it will still be
red on the inside ("rare").
180 - 200 °C For grilling thicker
items,
– If there is some resistance the inside
will be pink ("medium").
(e. g. rolled meat,
poultry)
– If there is great resistance, it is
throughly cooked through ("well
done").
To grill thicker pieces of food more
gradually after an initial high
temperature, continue grilling at a lower
temperature setting to allow the food to
cook through to the centre.
Shelf level
^ Depending on the size of the food,
select the 1st or 2nd shelf level from

Cleaning and care
Normal soiling
,Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
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.
Clean the oven interior, inside of the
door and door seal as soon as it has
cooled down. Waiting too long can
make cleaning unnecessarily
difficult and in some cases
impossible.
Clean the surfaces with hot water and a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
well wrung-out sponge.
Cleaning is easier if a little washing-up
liquid is applied to the soiling and left to
soak in for a few minutes before
cleaning.
In certain circumstances, very heavy
soiling can even damage the
appliance.
If necessary, the reverse of a non-
scouring washing-up sponge can be
used.
Oven interior
After cleaning, rinse all surfaces
thoroughly with clean water. The water
must run off the surface easily. Any
residual cleaning agents will hinder this
effect.
,The oven interior can get hot
during use. Danger of burning.
The oven interior is made from
stainless steel which has been treated
with a special finish called
Heavy soiling
Allow the PerfectClean surfaces to cool
down to room temperature before
cleaning. Apply a proprietary oven
cleaning spray, and leave to take effect
for up to ten minutes only. Miele oven
cleaning spray can be left on for longer.
Always follow the instructions on the
packaging.
PerfectClean. This finish has an
iridescent appearance. PerfectClean
surfaces have very good anti-stick
properties and are easy to clean.
However, it is very important to clean
the surfaces each time the microwave
combination oven is used. The surfaces
will become harder to clean and the
anti-stick properties will deteriorate if
soiling is not removed after each use
and allowed to build-up.
If necessary the scouring pad on the
back of a non-scratch washing-up
sponge or a soft nylon brush can be
used to loosen the soiling. Repeat the
process if necessary.
If the oven is used frequently without
being cleaned it may become very
difficult or even impossible to get clean
again.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water and then dry thoroughly.
61
Cleaning and care
The following cause lasting damage
to the surface structure and reduce
the anti-stick effect. They must not
be used on PerfectClean surfaces:
Note:
– Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures are best removed whilst the
oven or tray is still warm. Excercise
caution, make sure the oven is not
too hot - danger of burning.
– Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners.
– Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting
discolouration to the surfaces. This
discolouration is permanent but will
not affect the efficiency of the finish.
Clean these following the instructions
given above and do not use force to
remove them.
– Cleaning agents for ceramic hobs.
– Wire wool or metal scourers.
– Abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
– To neutralise odours in the oven, put
a container of water with some lemon
juice in the oven and simmer for a
few minutes.
– Oven spray must not be used in a
hot oven or left on for too long.
– Spot cleaning.
62
Cleaning and care
Oven interior roof
If the oven interior roof is badly soiled,
the grill element can be lowered to
make cleaning easier.
,Make sure the oven heating
elements are switched off and cool.
Danger of burning.
^ Lower the grill element gently.
Do not use force to lower it as this
can cause it to break.
^ After cleaning the grill element, raise
it gently back up again. Refit the nut
and tighten to secure the grill
element back in position.
^ To lower the grill element, the nut
needs to be unscrewed.
63
Cleaning and care
Door interior and door seal
Appliance front
,The oven interior can get hot
during use. Danger of burning.
Remove any soiling on the front of
the appliance straight away. Soiling
that is left too long is harder to
remove, and the surface could
become discoloured or altered.
Clean the interior of the door and the
seal using a damp Miele microfibre E-
cloth (see "Optional accessories") or
with a clean sponge and a solution of
hot water and washing-up liquid. Then
dry with a soft cloth.
Clean the front using a damp Miele
microfibre E-cloth (see "Optional
accessories") or with a clean sponge
and a solution of hot water and
washing-up liquid. Then dry with a soft
cloth.
,Check the door and door seal at
regular intervals for any sign of
damage. If any damage is noticed,
the oven should not be used again
in microwave mode until the fault
has been rectified by a service
technician.
The external surfaces of this
appliance are all susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass
