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.  
Please be aware that using  
~
Use oven gloves when placing food  
~
microwave power will shorten cooking,  
reheating and defrosting times  
considerably compared to when using  
functions without microwave power.  
Make sure that you keep to the  
recommended grilling times when

Take great care not to come in contact  
with the upper heating / grill element  
when using the Grill Y, Fan plus U,  
Fan grill \, Mikrowave+Grill b,  
Mikrowave+Fan grill M functions as it  
becomes extremely hot. Danger of  
burning.  
However, excessively long cooking  
times can lead to food drying out and  
burning or could even cause the food  
to catch fire.  
Plastic containers must ony be used  
~
with Microwave Solo. These melt at  
high temperatures and if used with any  
other fucntion could damage the  
appliance.  
– Do not use the microwave function to  
dry breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs,  
grain etc.  
– Do not use any functions which use  
the grill to heat and crisp up rolls or  
bread, or to dry flowers, herbs, grain  
etc.  
Always ensure that food is  
~
sufficiently 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  
cooking container.  
Use the Fan plus U function for this  
type of procedure and do not leave the  
oven unattended.  
Some foods may contain micro-  
organisms which are only destroyed by  
thorough cooking, therefore when  
cooking or re-heating foods, e.g.  
poultry, it is particularly important that  
food is fully cooked through (at

Warning and Safety instructions  
The microwave combination oven is  
~
not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting  
When heating liquids using  
~
microwave power, the boiling rod  
items.  
provided should always be placed in  
the container.  
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.  
10  
Warning and Safety instructions  
Make sure that you only use  
even after they have been taken out of  
~
microwave safe containers when using  
the Microwave (Solo) function or a  
combination programme which uses  
microwave power. Observe the  
instructions given in "Suitable  
the oven.  
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  
containers for microwave ovens".  
Ovenproof earthenware can retain a egg yolk to explode. Danger of injury.  
~
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.  
Accessories  
Do not leave the oven unattended  
~
Only use genuine Miele original  
~
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 "Suitable  
containers for microwave ovens -  
Plastics".  
spare parts and accessories with this  
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,

Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose it with  
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.

Guide to the appliance  
Boiling rod  
When pushing the rack back in,  
always ensure that the safety  
notches are at the rear of the oven  
(see illustration).  
When heating liquids, the boiling rod  
provided should always be placed in  
the container. It helps liquids to heat  
evenly.  
To remove the rack, lift it upwards  
slightly at the front when the safety  
notches connect with the sides of the  
oven.  
We recommend using the rack  
together with the glass tray when  
cooking items on the rack which might  
drip.

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").

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  
The following power levels can be  
selected:  
80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W,  
friction caused by this vibration creates 850 W, 1000 W  
heat which first starts developing  
Microwaves stop being produced as  
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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  
43  
Defrosting, reheating and cooking using microwave power  
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.

Cooking vegetables  
Add a little water to vegetables which have been kept

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.

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

Useful tips  
– Check if the food is cooked at the  
end of the shortest time quoted.  
To check if a cake is ready, insert a  
wooden skewer into the centre.  
It is ready if the skewer comes out  
clean, without dough or crumbs  
sticking to it.  
You can also programme the duration  
(see "Operation - Programming cooking  
durations). However, do not delay the  
start too long when baking as the cake  
mixture or dough will dry out, and the  
raising agents will lose their  
effectiveness.  
– Place chips, croquettes and similar  
Place cakes being baked in retangular  
tins with the longer side across the  
width of the oven for optimum heat  
distribution and even results.

Baking  
Problem  
Possible cause and remedy  
Cakes or biscuits are  
not properly cooked  
after the time  
Check that the correct temperature has been set.  
Check whether there has been a change to the recipe.  
The addition of more liquid or more eggs makes a  
moister mix which would take longer to cook.  
recommended in the  
chart.  
Check the material and colour of the baking tins being  
used.  
Bright shiny tins are not very suitable. Try using a  
different tin next time. These reflect heat, making it  
more difficult for the heat to reach the food. The food  
will not cook through properly.  
Cakes or biscuits are  
unevenly browned.  
There is always likely to be small differences in the level  
of browning.  
If the difference is very noticeable, check whether the  
temperature setting is high enough, and also the  
material and colour of the baking tins.  
Bright shiny tins are not very suitable. Try using a  
different tin next time. These reflect heat, which means  
that the heat does not penetrate the food effectively,  
resulting in uneven or poor browning.

– It also ensures that sufficient stock  
remains for making gravy.  
^ Place the rack or the glass tray on  
the lowest shelf level.  
Season the meat and place it in the pot.  
Add some butter or margarine or baste  
with a little oil or cooking fat. Add about  
125 ml water when roasting a large,  
lean joint of meat (2 – 3 kg) or poultry  
with a high fat content.  
Temperature  
Please refer to the roasting chart.  
The larger the joint of meat (max. 3 kg,  
except for poultry), the lower the  
temperature required. For poultry  
above 3 kg select a temperature  
approx. 10 °C lower than that given in  
the roasting chart. Roasting will take  
longer at the lower temperature, but the  
poultry will be more evenly cooked, and  
the skin is less likely to burn.  
Put meat or poultry into the oven  
without pre-heating. Exception: Pre-  
heat the oven at the temperature  
suggested when roasting beef and  
beef fillet.

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.

Preparing food for grilling  
Shelf level  
Rinse meat under cold running water  
and then pat dry. Do not season meat  
with salt before grilling as this draws  
the juices out.  
^ Depending on the size of the food,  
select the 2nd or 3rd shelf level from  
the bottom.  
Add a little oil if necessary. Do not use  
other types of fat as they can get too  
dark, burn and cause smoke. A little  
melted butter can be brushed onto  
chicken if desired.  
^ Turn the food halfway through the  
cooking time.  
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.

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.

Useful tips  
,It is particularly important to  
observe food hygiene rules when  
defrosting poultry. Do not use the  
liquid from the defrosted poultry.  
Pour it away, and wash the tray, the  
sink and your hands. Danger of  
salmonella poisoning.

Small pieces of poultry can be placed  
on an upturned saucer in the glass tray.  
This way it will not be lying in defrosted  
liquid.  
Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently  
soft to take herbs and seasoning.  
,Do not refreeze food once it has  
thawed.  
^ Depending on the size of the food  
being defrosted select the 1st or 2nd  
shelf level from the bottom.  
Defrosting times  
The time needed for defrosting  
depends on the type and weight of the

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  
surfaces could even cause a  
breakage.  
Contact with unsuitable cleaning  
agents can alter or discolour  
external surfaces.  
Glass surfaces are susceptible to  
scratches. Scratches can cause  
glass surfaces to break.  
When cleaning glass surfaces do not  
use:  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.  
powder cleaners and cream  
cleaners,  
– hard, abrasive sponges and  
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,  
– sharp metal scrapers.  
64  
Cleaning and care  
To prevent damage to external  
Accessories supplied  
surfaces, when cleaning do not use:  
Rack  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
ammonia, acids or chlorides,  
The surface has been treated with  
PerfectClean. The rack should be  
cleaned according to the cleaning  
instructions for PerfectClean described  
in "Cleaning and care - oven interior".  
– cleaning agents containing  
descaling agents,  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.  
powder cleaners and cream  
cleaners,  
Glass tray  
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
