Operating the appliance with this type of damage will result in microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user. ~ Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous and can cause operational faults or electric shock. ~ Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt. ~ Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). ~ The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.

isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed. – the mains fuse is disconnected, – or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). ~ Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used. ~ Appliances which are built-in behind a furniture door must only be operated when the door is open. Do not close the furniture door when the appliance is in operation. ~ In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty. ~ This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship). Correct use ~ 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. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through (at temperatures of over 70 °C for more than 10 minutes). If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time. ~ 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. ~ Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting 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 burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. There is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., are dried in the microwave oven. Always ensure that this type of procedure is supervised.

to heat up cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated, even after they have been removed from the microwave. ~ The microwave is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items. Items can get extremely hot, and there is a danger of burning when the item is removed from the microwave. ~ Do not use full power to warm empty dishes or to dry out herbs. The appliance could be damaged is used without food, or if it is incorrectly loaded. ~ Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed. Otherwise pressure builds up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury. ~ Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and then always check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it out of the microwave. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. When heating food and drinks, 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. 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 liquids, the boiling rod provided should always be placed into the container. When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc. in the oven without the boiling rod, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of 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, which can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning! The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open, with a danger of burning. The boiling rod ensures that bubbles are produced, and that liquids heat evenly. Warning and Safety instructions 11 Downloaded From Microwave-Manual.com Manuals

open the oven door if smoke occurs in the oven interior. Interrupt the process by pressing the Stop/C button twice. Switch off at the wall socket, and where applicable, remove the plug. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed. ~ Never heat undiluted alcohol in the microwave, as this can easily ignite. ~ Do not heat up tins in the microwave. Pressure can build up and they may explode, resulting in injury or damage. ~ Cover any food which is left in the microwave to be kept hot, as moisture in the food could lead to corrosion damage in the microwave. This also prevents the food from drying out. ~ Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface. ~ Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the foil lid only partially removed. Such items could be damaged or cause a fire hazard. The rack and gourmet plate supplied with the appliance are designed to be compatible with microwaves and can therefore be used for grilling with or without the microwave function. Do not use the rack for Microwave Solo. ~ Do not use the rack and the gourmet plate at the same time. This will damage the gourmet plate. Always place the gourmet plate directly on the turntable. ~ Do not use the cover with the gourmet plate, as the cover will get too hot. ~ Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials. Only those plastic disposable containers which are specified by the manufacturer as suitable for use in a microwave oven may be used. ~ 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, even after they have been taken out of the oven. ~ Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave heat only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode. Danger of injury! Warning and Safety instructions 12 Downloaded From Microwave-Manual.com Manuals

as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or the skin cut in several places before cooking to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting. ~ Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags 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. ~ Always ensure that food, the gourmet plate or a browning dish has been placed in the microwave, and that the turntable is in place, before switching on. ~ Do not use the appliance for deep frying food, and do not leave it unattended when cooking with oils and fats as these can be a fire hazard if allowed to overheat. ~ Wear oven gloves when placing dishes in, and taking them out of the oven, or when handling dishes or food in the oven if the grill is on or has just been in operation. Danger of burning! ~ The gourmet plate gets extremely hot when in use. Always use oven gloves when handling it to avoid burns. Place it on a suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest. The rack and glass tray get hot during grilling (with and without the microwave function). Danger of burning! ~ Never place the hot glass tray (or any other hot cooking containers) on a cold surface, such as a tiled or granite worktop. The glass tray or container could crack or shatter, and the worktop surface could get damaged. Therefore, use a suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest. ~ Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire. ~ When using an electric socket near the appliance, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation of the cable could melt and get damaged. ~ To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process. Only use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to measure the temperature of the food. Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer as they are unsuitable for such high temperatures and break easily. ~ Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Warning and Safety instructions 13 Downloaded From Microwave-Manual.com Manuals

steel surfaces: ~ Do not adhere stickers, adhesive tape or any other adhesive materials to stainless steel surfaces.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions. Warning and Safety instructions 14 Downloaded From Microwave-Manual.com Manuals

works 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. Microwave distribution is improved with the turntable engaged. In order for microwaves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the cooking utensil being used. Microwaves can penetrate porcelain, glass, cardboard and plastics, but not metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils made of metal, or which contain metal, for example in the form of gold or silver trim. The metal reflects the microwaves and this could lead to the creation of sparks. The microwaves cannot be absorbed. Microwaves pass through a suitable container and find their way directly into the food. All food contains moisture molecules which, when subjected to microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5 thousand million times a second. The friction caused by this vibration creates heat, which first starts developing around the outside of the food and then slowly penetrates towards the centre. The moisture, fat and sugar content of food will affect the speed at which it is cooked. As heat is produced directly in the food, – food can generally be cooked without adding much liquid or cooking oil. – cooking, reheating and defrosting in a microwave oven is quicker than using conventional methods. – nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are generally retained. – the colour, texture and taste of food are not impaired. Microwaves stop being produced as soon as the cooking process is interrupted or the appliance door is opened. When the appliance is in operation, the closed, sealed door prevents microwaves escaping from the appliance. Description of the functions 15 Downloaded From Microwave-Manual.com Manuals

do? In the microwave oven, food is cooked, reheated or defrosted quickly. You can use the microwave in the following ways: – Food can be defrosted, reheated or cooked by entering a power setting and a time. – Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can be defrosted and then reheated or cooked. – The microwave oven can also be used for other tasks, e.g. for proving dough, melting chocolate and butter, dissolving gelatine or for bottling small amounts of fruit and vegetables. In what ways can a microwave oven be used? Microwave Solo mode Suitable for defrosting, reheating and cooking. Grilling Ideal for grilling very thin cuts of meat, e.g. bacon. Combination mode (Microwave + Grill) Ideal for browning dishes with toppings. The microwave cooks the food, and the grill browns it. Automatic programmes You can choose from the following automatic programmes: – Five defrosting programmes (N: Ad 1 bis Ad 5), – three cooking programmes for frozen food (N °: AC 1 bis AC 4 ), – three cooking programmes for fresh food (°: AC 1 bis AC 8 ), These programmes are weight dependent. You enter the weight of the food, and then the cooking time is calculated automatically. Description of functions 16 Downloaded From Microwave-Manual.com Manuals

– pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and card, – and are absorbed by food. 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. Containers and lids with hollow handles or knobs in which moisture can collect are unsuitable, Without vent holes, pressure can build up, causing the container to crack or shatter with the danger of injury. Metal Metal containers, aluminium foil, metal cutlery, and china with metallic decoration such as gold rims or cobalt blue must not be used on microwave mode. Metal reflects microwaves and obstructs the cooking process. Also, avoid using plastic pots where the foil lid has not be completely removed. Exceptions: – Ready-meals in aluminium foil dishes These can be defrosted and reheated in the microwave oven, if recommended by the manufacturer. Important: Remove the lid and make sure the foil dish is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. 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 microwave oven.

on the grilling rack in case the dish sparks or arcs. If sparks occur, transfer food to a microwave-safe container. – Pieces of aluminium foil 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 wingtips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the programme. Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls. – Metal meat skewers or clamps These should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat. Glassware Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use in the microwave oven. Crystal glass is unsuitable as it contains lead which could cause the glass to crack in the microwave. 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. Earthenware Decorated earthenware is only suitable if the decoration is beneath an all-over glaze. Earthenware can get very hot, and may crack. Glazes and colours Some glazes and colours contain metals which make them unsuitable for use in a microwave oven. Wood Wooden dishes are not suitable. Moisture contained in the wood evaporates when exposed to microwave energy, causing the wood to dry and crack. Plastics When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven. They must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 110°C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food. Special plastic utensils designed for use in microwave ovens are available from good retail outlets. Melamine is not suitable for use in this oven as it absorbs microwave energy and gets hot. Suitable containers for microwave ovens 18 Downloaded From Microwave-Manual.com Manuals

made from polystyrene, can only be used for very short, timed warming and reheating of food. Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating. They should be pierced beforehand so that steam can escape. This prevents a build-up of pressure and reduces the risk of the bag bursting. There are also special steaming bags available which do not need to be pierced. Please follow instructions given on the packet. Do not use metal clips, plastic clips containing metal parts, or paper ties containing wire. There is a danger that they will ignite when heated. Fire hazard. Disposable containers Only those plastic disposable containers which are specified by the manufacturer as suitable for use in a microwave oven may be used. Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials. Disposable containers are not always recyclable or bio degradable. Testing dishes for their 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: ^ 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. ^ Close the door. ^ Turn the power selector to 900 W. ^ Enter a time of 30 seconds with the time selector. ^ Press the Start button. At the end of the test, the water in the glass should be warm and the dish cool. If the dish is hot and the water cold, it would be unwise to use the dish.If a crackling noise is heard accompanied by sparks during the test, switch the appliance off immediately (press button Stop/C twice). Any crockery which causes this reaction is unsuitable for use with microwave power. If any doubt exists about the suitability of containers, please contact the supplier.

Before using for the first time Before using the gourmet plate for the first time, fill it with 400 ml water and add 3-4 tbsps vinegar or lemon juice. Heat for 5 minutes on 450 W + Grill L. The gourmet plate has an easy-to-clean anti-stick coating so that food can be removed easily. The coating is susceptible to cuts and scratches. Therefore do not cut food up directly on the plate. Use wooden or plastic utensils to mix or turn food. Metallic or sharp objects can damage the coating. Searing/browning food Because food does not stick to the anti-stick coating, only very little fat or oil is necessary when cooking with this dish. Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fats, as these are a fire hazard if allowed to overheat. ^ When using the gourmet plate, make sure that the food is ready to transfer to the gourmet plate as soon as it has heated up. ^ Place the gourmet plate directly on the turntable. Do not place it on the rack. Make sure there is a gap of approx. 2 cm between the gourmet plate and the interior walls of the appliance, otherwise sparking could occur and damage the gourmet plate and the oven interior. ^ Heat the plate up on 450 W + Grill L for approx. 5 minutes. Do not overheat the empty gourmet plate, otherwise the coating could be damaged. If using oil, you can either heat up the oil on the gourmet plate, or you can heat the oil separately and then add it to the plate. Butter, however, should always be added after heating up the gourmet plate. It has a lower burning point than oil and would get too dark or burn if added too soon. Always dry meat, poultry, fish and vegetables thoroughly before placing them on the gourmet plate. Do not use the gourmet plate to cook eggs or reheat cooked eggs. The eggs can explode.

levels to reheat food: Drinks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 900 W Food . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 600 W Food for babies and toddlers . . . 450 W We do not recommend heating or reheating food 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 sterilised cooked food should be gently heated for 1/2 to 1 minutes at 450 W, 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. Tips on reheating Always use a lid or cover for reheating food, except when a drier finish is needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat. Always remove the lids from jars, especially jars of baby food. Loosen the screw cap with the rubber teat before warming baby bottles. When reheating liquids, place the boiling rod supplied with the appliance into the cup or glass. Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a microwave oven, even without the shell, as they could explode. Food taken straight from the refrigerator takes longer to cook than food which has been kept at room temperature. The time required depends on the nature of the food, its initial temperature and the amount to be cooked. Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. If in any doubt that a sufficiently high temperature has been reached, continue reheating for a little longer. Stir or turn food from time to time during cooking. Stir the food from the outside towards the middle, as food heats more quickly from the outside. After reheating 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 microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot. Allow food to stand for a few minutes at room temperature at the end of a reheating process to enable the heat to spread evenly throughout the food. 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. Danger of burning. Reheating 48 Downloaded From Microwave-Manual.com Manuals

dish and cover it. When cooking, it is a good idea to select a power level of 900 W to start with and then when the food is hot, reduce the power level to 450 W for more gentle continued cooking. For dishes such as rice or semolina pudding, first select a power level of 900 W, and then reduce it to 150 W for simmering. Tips on cooking 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. Add a little water to vegetables which have been kept stored. Food taken straight from the refrigerator takes longer to cook than food which has been kept at room temperature. Stir or turn food from time to time during cooking to help it cook more evenly. Ensure that food such as meat and fish are thoroughly cooked for an appropriate length of time. Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and eggplants, should be pierced or the skin cut in several places before cooking to allow steam to escape and to prevent the food from bursting. Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in the microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist shops. Eggs can burst, even after they have been taken out of the oven. Eggs can be cooked without their shells in the microwave oven only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode. After cooking 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 microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot.

thawed. Defrosted food should be used up as quickly as possible as food soon loses it nutritional value and goes off. Defrosted food may only be refrozen after it has been cooked. Defrosting Select the following microwave power settings to defrost food: – 80 W for defrosting very delicate food, e.g. cream, butter, gateau and cheese. – 150 W for defrosting everything else. Remove the food from its packaging and place in a microwave-proof container. Do not cover. Turn, stir or separate the food about halfway through the defrosting time. To defrost meat, unpack the frozen meat and place it on an upturned plate in a glass or china container so that the meat juice can run off and be collected. Turn halfway through defrosting. It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away, and wash the tray, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning! Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently soft to take herbs and seasoning. Defrosting followed by reheating or cooking Deep-frozen food can be defrosted and immediately reheated or cooked. After defrosting, select 900 W followed by 450 W. Remove the food from its packaging and place in a covered microwave-proof dish for defrosting and reheating or cooking. Exception: Minced meat should be left uncovered while cooking. Soups, stew and vegetables should be stirred several times during the process. Carefully separate and turn slices of meat halfway through the programme. Turn pieces of fish at the halfway stage. After defrosting followed by reheating or cooking Allow the food to stand at room temperature for a few minutes to enable the heat to spread evenly throughout the food.

Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Oven interior and inside of the door The oven interior can get hot during use. To avoid the danger of being burnt, wait until it has cooled down before cleaning. It should be cleaned after each use. Waiting too long can make cleaning unnecessarily difficult and in some cases impossible. In certain circumstances, very heavy soiling can even damage the appliance. The oven interior and door interior can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a little washing-up liquid or a mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. For more heavy soiling, heat a glass of water for 2 to 3 minutes until the water begins to boil. The steam will collect on the walls and soften the soiling. The oven interior can now be wiped clean using a little washing-up liquid if necessary. Do not remove the cover to the microwave outlet inside the oven, nor the film covering the inside of the door. Do not let water or any small particles penetrate the vents in the appliance. Wring out cloths before using them to wipe out the oven to avoid moisture getting into the openings.

If there has been a power cut, the time automatically switches back to 12:00. The time of day needs to be re-set. ^ Set the correct time of day. . . . food cools down too quickly. In the microwave oven, food begins to cook from the outside first, the inside of the food relying on the slower conduction of heat. If food is cooked at a high power level, it is possible that the heat may not have reached the centre of the food, so it is hot on the outside but cold in the centre. During standing time heat is transferred to the centre of the food. This may leave the food warm in the middle but cool on the outside. When reheating food with different densities, such as plated meals, it is therefore sensible to select a lower power level and lengthen the duration required. . . . the microwave switches itself off during a cooking, reheating or defrosting programme. There may be insufficient air circulation. Check whether, ^ the air inlet or outlet is blocked. If so, remove it. The appliance switches off automatically in cases of overheating.
