Heat and moisture can build up behind the door and cause damage to the appliance and cabinetry. Do not close the door until the appliance has cooled down completely.
The microwave oven may not
~
be used in mobile installations (e.g. on ships).
Proper use
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to damage or tamper with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always ensure that food is
~
sufficiently heated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the type, amount and nature of the food, its initial temperature, and changes to the recipe. Some foods may contain micro­organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food, it is particularly important that food is heated at adequate temperatures for a sufficient amount of time. When in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is important that enough
~
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. Standing times are "resting" times in which the heat is uniformly distributed in the food.
Always remember that times
~
for cooking, reheating and defrosting in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than in the case of traditional methods of food preparation. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or may even cause it to catch fire. Do not dry bread, rolls, flowers, herbs, etc., in the microwave oven as these could also catch fire.
Do not use the microwave
~
oven to heat up pads or cushions filled with cherry pits, 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 appliance.
The microwave oven 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 appliance.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The microwave oven can be
~
damaged if it is used without food or when loaded incorrectly. Therefore, do not use the appliance to warm empty dishes or to dry herbs or other similar items.
Always ensure that food or a
~
browning dish has been placed in the microwave oven and that the turntable is in position before switching on the appliance.
Do not cook or reheat food or
~
liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. Otherwise, pressure will build up and can cause the bottle or container to explode.
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. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid it contains. Check the food for the desired temperature after removing it. This is particularly
important when preparing food for babies. Shake or stir baby
milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try it yourself first to ensure that it will not burn the baby.
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The boiling stick ensures that
~
liquids heat up evenly, allowing bubbles to form at the right time.
When boiling and, in particular, when reheating liquids using microwave power without the boiling wand, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the typical production of bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This "boiling delay" can cause a sudden buildup of bubbles when the container is removed from the microwave oven or when it is shaken. This can ultimately lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Burn
hazard!
The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the appliance door open. Risk of injury and damage! When reheating liquids, always
place the boiling wand supplied into the cup or glass.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid fueling any flames,
~
do not open the appliance door if you see smoke coming from the food in the oven interior. Interrupt the current process by turning off the appliance and disconnecting it from the power. Do not open the door until the smoke has dissipated.
Never leave the microwave
~
oven unattended when cooking with oil or fat.
Due to the high temperatures
~
radiated by the microwave oven, nearby flammable objects can catch fire while the appliance is in use. Do not use the microwave oven to heat the room.
If using alcohol in your
~
recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporize and even to ignite on hot surfaces. Do not heat undiluted alcohol in the appliance. Fire hazard!
Food which is stored in the
~
oven interior or left there to be kept warm can dry out, and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the microwave oven. The control panel, countertop and surrounding cabinetry can also be damaged. Always cover food that is left in the appliance.
Do not use the microwave
~
oven to heat up or can food in closed containers, such as tins or jars, as pressure will build up in the container and may cause it to explode.
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid corrosion on the
~
stainless steel surfaces of the microwave oven, thoroughly wipe away any splashes on the interior walls from food or liquids containing salt immediately after they occur.
The oven interior can get hot
~
during use. Burn hazard! Clean the appliance interior and accessories as soon as they have cooled down. Waiting too long can make cleaning unnecessarily difficult and, in extreme cases, impossible. Under certain conditions, strong grease and gunk buildup can damage the appliance and even be dangerous. Fire hazard! Please follow the instructions on cleaning in "Cleaning and care".
containing wire. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic containers without a fully removed aluminum lid (see "Suitable cookware for microwave ovens"). These items can be damaged or cause a fire hazard.
Do not leave the microwave
~
oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other flammable materials. Before using disposable containers, make sure they are suitable for use in microwave ovens. See "Suitable cookware for microwave ovens".
Fire hazard! Using
~
microwave power with plasticware that is not microwave safe can cause it to melt and damage the appliance. Do not use any containers, dishware or utensils made of or containing metal. Do not use aluminum foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden dishes, metal clips, plastic clips with metal parts or paper twist ties
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not reheat food in the
~
microwave oven in heat-retaining bags intended for normal ovens, such as bags used for grilled chicken.
Eggs can be cooked without
~
their shells using microwave power only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. Otherwise, the pressure may cause the egg yolk to explode.
When eggs are cooked with
~
their shells in the microwave oven, they may explode, even after being removed from the oven interior. Only cook eggs in their shells in the microwave using a specially designed egg boiler. Do not reheat hard-boiled eggs in the microwave oven.
Cookware with hollow knobs
~
or handles is not suitable for use in the microwave. Moisture gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up, and the item can explode (unless the recesses are sufficiently ventilated). We recommend that you do not use these types of dishes for cooking in the microwave oven.
To check the food
~
temperature, interrupt the cooking process. Only use a thermometer specifically approved for use with food to measure the temperature. Do not use thermometers containing mercury or liquid, as these are not suitable for use at very high temperatures and can break easily.
Food with a thick skin or peel,
~
such as tomatoes, sausage, potatoes and eggplant, should be pierced or cut in several places before heating in order to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.
14
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use a steam cleaner to
~
clean the microwave oven. The steam may reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Stainless steel surfaces
Adhesives will damage the
~
stainless steel surface and cause it to lose its resistance to grease and grime. Do not use sticky notes, transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surface.
Stainless steel is easily
~
scratched. Even magnets can cause scratching.
Accessories
Only use genuine original
~
Miele accessories and spare parts. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will void the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability for damage caused by the use of such parts.
