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.

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

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.

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 -

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").

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,

Microwaves stop being produced as

around the outside of the food and then

slowly penetrates towards the centre.

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.

Temperatures used for Fan grill are

lower than those used with the Grill

function.

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.

Glassware

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.

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

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.

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

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

its initial temperature. Foods that have been refrigerated, for example, require

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.

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

ß Microwave+Fan plus a

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

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

normal way. To enhance the taste add

a little salt or squeeze a little lemon

juice over the fish.

Grilling

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
