Warning and Safety instructions

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply make sure that
the rating on the data plate
corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household supply. This
data must correspond in order to avoid
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 an
extension lead.
Extension leads 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
the appliance 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 regularly
tested, and where there is any doubt,
the household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

The appliance must be built in

before operation to ensure that no
electrical components are accessible.

Installation work and repairs may

only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons in
accordance with local and national
safety regulations. Repairs and other
work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous and the manufacturer will
not be held liable.
Ensure current is not supplied to the

appliance until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.

This equipment may only be

installed in mobile installations
such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if
a risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply
when:

the mains fuse is withdrawn,

–

or the screw-out fuse is removed (in

–

countries where this is applicable),

– or it has been switched off at the

isolator switch or at the wall socket
and the plug has been withdrawn.

Use

General notes

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 re-heating
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.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

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 cooking,

reheating and defrosting times
using microwave power are usually
considerably shorter than with
traditional methods of food preparation
(Fan plus, Grill). Excessively long
cooking times can lead to food drying
out and burning, or could even cause it
to catch fire. Do not use the microwave
function to dry breadcrumbs, flowers,
herbs, grain etc. Use the Fan plus
function for this type of procedure and
do not leave the oven unattended.

Do not use the microwave function

to heat up cushions or pads filled
with cherry kernels, wheat grain,
lavender or gel, such as those used in
aromatherapy. These pads can ignite
when heated even after they have been
removed from the appliance.

Exercise caution when cooking or

reheating food with a high sugar
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If
heated for too long the sugar may
caramelise or ignite.

Do not use full power to warm

empty dishes. The lack of food or
incorrect loading could cause damage
to the appliance.

these can be a fire hazard if allowed to
overheat.

If smoke occurs in the oven, to

avoid fuelling any flame do not
open the oven door. Turn the function
selector to "0", or switch off at the mains
and remove the plug from the socket.
Do not open the oven door until the
smoke has dispersed.

Never heat undiluted alcohol in the

oven as this can easily ignite.

Do not heat up tins in the

appliance. Pressure can build up
and they may explode, resulting in
injury or damage.

Cover any food which is left in the

oven to be kept hot, as moisture in
the food could lead to corrosion
damage in the oven. 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 stainless steel surfaces.

The glass tray and the combi rack

take a maximum load of 8 kg.
Exceeding this weight limit can cause
them damage.

Do not lean or sit on an open oven

door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. The
oven door can support a maximum load
of 8 kg.

Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils and fats as

8

Warning and Safety instructions

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. Place it on a
suitable pot rest or a wire rack.

Do not use a steam-cleaning

appliance to clean this appliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects left near
the appliance could catch fire.

When using kitchen appliances

connected to sockets near the
appliance, ensure that the cable cannot
get trapped in a hot oven door, which
could melt the cable insulation and be
dangerous.

Always stir or shake baby milk and food
after heating it up, and taste it first to
make sure it is not too hot.

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.

When heating liquids, the boiling

rod provided should always be
placed into the container.

Microwave function

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. When heating food
and drink, 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 paricularly important when
preparing food for babies, children,
and the elderly or infirm.

When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,
using microwave heat 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.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

This 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. The user could be injured
and the appliance damaged.
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid
boils evenly and that bubbles form at
an early stage during the operation.

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 cream pots
with the tinfoil lid only partially removed.
Such items could be damaged or
cause a fire hazard.

The combi rack supplied with the

appliance must be used with the
glass tray. It is designed to be
compatible with microwaves and can
therefore be used with the microwave
function. Do not place it on the oven
floor.
N.B. It gets hot when using the
microwave function. Danger of burning.

Do not leave the oven unattended

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 appropriate
section.

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 heat 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.

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.

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.

Ovenproof earthenware can retain

a considerable amount of moisture.
Earthenware and porcelain containers
with hollow handles and lid knobs must
only be used with the microwave
function 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.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

To check food temperature, first

interrupt the cooking process.
Then 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.

Traditional oven functions: Fan plus,
Grill

Caution. Danger of burning.
When the oven is being used as a
traditional oven it can get very hot.

Great care should be taken to

ensure that small children do not
touch the oven when it is being used.
External parts of the oven such as the
door glass, vents, handle and fascia
panel can become quite hot. Danger of
burning!

damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before disposing of your old

appliance, first make it unusable.
Cut off the cable and render any plug
unusable. Appliances which have been
built-in should be disconnected from
the mains supply by a qualified person.
This will prevent the appliance from
being misused.

The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Wear oven gloves when placing

food in the oven, turning it or
removing it. When the Grill is being
used, either solo or in a combination
programme, the element becomes very
hot and there is a danger of burning.

Wait until the grill element has

cooled down before lowering it for
cleaning. Danger of burning! Do not
use force to lower it as this can cause it
to break.

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

Operating modes

Microwave function

Microwave cooking offers the benefits
of speed, convenience and nutritional
advantages when food does not require
browning or crisping.

How does the microwave oven
function?

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.

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

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

– 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.

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

Operating modes

Traditional oven functions

This oven offers the following traditional
oven functions:

Fan plus Y

–

Grill n.

–
These cook and brown the food.

Fan plus Y

This system works by the circulation of
heated air.

A fan in the back wall draws in the air,
heats it over a ring element and blows it
back into the oven cavity through the
carefully spaced openings in the back
panel.

The oven does not usually need to be
pre-heated as the heated air reaches
the food straight away. Pre-heating may
be necessary for foods such as puff
pastry and yeast mixtures where instant
heat is required to make them rise
quickly.

Combination programmes

Microwave + Fan plus h Y

–

Microwave + Grill h n

–
The combination programmes enable

food to be reheated and cooked
quickly with even browning results.

Combining microwave power with Fan
plus ensures that heat reaches food
being roasted or baked very quickly.
This helps reduce cooking durations
and keeps energy consumption to a
minimum.

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.

When using Fan plus, you can bake
and roast on two different levels at the
same time.
Because the fan circulates the heated
air throughout the oven, lower
temperatures can be used than with
Conventional heating.

Grill n

The grill is ready for use when it glows
red a few minutes after being switched
on. Pre-heat with the oven door closed
for approx. 5 minutes before starting to
cook. Grill with the oven door closed.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

When using microwave power you
should always place the food / dish
centrally on the glass tray and slide
the tray into the first shelf level from
the bottom. Placing the dish on the
floor of the oven will give
unsatisfactory and uneven results.

Material and shape

are reflected by metal,

–

– pass through glass, porcelain,

plastic and card,

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.

Metal

Metal containers, aluminium foil and
metal cutlery, or china with metallic
decoration such as gold rims or
cobalt blue must not be used in
microwave mode.

–

and are absorbed by food.

16

The metal reflects the microwaves,
hindering the cooking process.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Exceptions:

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.
However, as food is only heated from
the top it is better to remove the food
from the aluminium foil container and
transfer it to a dish suitable for a
microwave oven. The heat
distribution will be more even.
Do not place aluminium foil
containers on the metal rack as this
can cause arcing to occur and
damage the oven.

– 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.

Glassware

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.

Crystal glass contains lead which
could cause the glass to crack.
Glass dishes with a milled rim are
subject to the same risk. Both are
unsuitable.

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.

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
should only be used if they are very
small in comparison to the size of the
cut of meat.

The combi rack supplied with the
appliance is suitable for use with
microwave power. However it must not
be placed on the oven floor.

The rack can get hot.

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.

17

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Plastics

Plastics must only be used with
Microwave-Solo. 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. When
purchasing plasticware, make sure that
it is suitable for use in a microwave
oven.

Melamine is not suitable for use in this
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave
energy and gets hot.

Disposable containers, such as trays
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.

There is a danger that they will ignite
when heated.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable.
Moisture contained in the wood
evaporates when exposed to
microwave energy, causing the wood to
dry and crack.

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.

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.

Roasting bags and tubes

Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm
longer and roasting bags about 20 cm
longer than the food being roasted, and
carefully tied with string. Turn the ends
over and secure them. The bag should
be pierced according to the
manufacturer's instructions.

Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
containing metal parts or paper ties
containing wire.

Programming a cooking
duration

The timer can be used to switch the
appliance off or on and off
automatically.

It is a good idea to set the oven to
switch on and off automatically for
reheating meals and for roasting.

When baking, the oven should not be
set to start a long time off. Otherwise
batter or dough will dry out and raising
agents will lose their effectiveness.

A maximum cooking duration of 12
hours can be set for the Fan plus and
Grill functions.

For combination programmes with
microwave mode, a maximum duration
of 2 hours can be set.

For microwave solo, a maximum

Defrosting

The microwave function can be used to
defrost food gently and quickly.

The following settings are
recommended as a general guide:

80 W

–

for defrosting very delicate food, e.g.
cream, butter, gateau and cheese.

150 W

–

for defrosting everything else.

See the chart on the next page for
defrosting durations.

Remove the food from its packaging

^

and place it in a microwave-safe

container.
^ Place the container centrally on the

glass tray and slide into the lowest

shelf level.
If defrosting a large quantity, e.g. 2 kg

of fish, you can place the food directly
on the glass tray and then slide it into
the lowest shelf level.

After defrosting

Allow the food to stand at room
temperature long enough to allow the
temperature to spread evenly
throughout the food.

Turn, stir or separate the food about
half-way through the defrosting time.

Reheating

The microwave function is particularly
suitable for reheating food.

Select the following microwave power
settings to reheat food

drinks. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1000 W

food . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 850 W or 600 W

baby food . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 450 W

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
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.

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,
e.g. jars of baby food.
Remove the rubber teat and screw
cap 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 using
microwave power, even without the
shell. The eggs can explode.

The time required depends largely on
the nature of the food, its initial
temperature and the amount to be
cooked. Food taken straight from the
refrigerator takes longer to reheat than
food stored at room temperature.

Always ensure that food is
sufficiently 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
reheating. 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 once a programme
has ended to allow the heat to be
distributed evenly.

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.

Cooking

Microwave, traditional and combination
programmes are all suitable for
cooking.

Microwave

This method is suitable for cooking
casseroles as well as dishes with pasta,
rice and semolina etc. which need
water to help them swell up.
First select 850 W to bring the food up
to a boil and then turn the power level
down to 450 W to continue cooking or
to 150 W for simmering.

Fan plus

This method is recommended for
cooking and steaming food such as
potatoes and vegetables.

Microwave + Fan plus

This method is useful when you want to
shorten cooking times and have a
browned finish to the dish.

Microwave + Grill

This method is good for cooking food
which needs a well cooked top or
browned finished to it, such as
macaroni cheese or pasta tuna bake.

Microwave h

Place the food in a microwave-safe dish
and cover it.

Place the dish on the glass tray and
slide into the lowest shelf level.

Add a little water to vegetables which
have been kept stored. 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.

Food taken straight from the refrigerator
requires longer to reheat than food
stored at room temperature.

Stir and turn food at least once during
cooking.

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 microwave
power 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 heat if you have
purchased special containers
designed for this purpose.

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.

37

Cooking

Fan plus Y

Slide the glass tray with the combi

^

rack into the first shelf level from the

bottom.
The following containers are suitable:
Ovenproof glass, china and

earthenware pots with heat-resistant
handles and knobs.

Cover dishes which are to be cooked in
their own juice and/or steam, e.g.
potatoes or vegetables. This also
prevents the food from drying out.

Where a crisp finish is required e.g. for
meat, cook without a lid.

Combination programmes

Place the dish on the glass tray and

^

slide into the lowest shelf level.

Only use heat-resistant,
microwave-safe crockery. No metal.

Generally you can cook without a lid
when using the combination
programmes.

Never use a lid when using Microwave
+ Grill h n! The food will not brown!

Ensure that foods such as meat and
fish are thoroughly cooked for an
appropriate length of time.

Microwave + Grill h n

–
Microwave is suitable for defrosting

and then reheating or cooking deep
frozen ready made meals which you do
not wish to brown.

Microwave + Grill is suitable for ready
made meals which also need to be
browned.

Microwave h

Deep frozen ready made meals can be
defrosted and then reheated or cooked.
Please follow instructions given on the
packet.

Remove the food from its packaging
and place in a covered microwave-safe
dish for defrosting and reheating or
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.

Combination programme

Microwave + Grill hn is suitable for
cooking and then browning the top of
ready made meals. Select a microwave
power level of 450 watts. The grill
temperature is automatically set and
cannot be changed.

Put the ready made meal in a heat
resistant, microwave-proof dish, and
place on the glass tray. Slide the glass
tray into the second shelf level. Do not
cover.

Ready made meals in aluminium dishes
must be placed directly on to the glass
tray.

If this does not brown the food as much
as you would like, next time put the dish
on the rack, and slide this together with
the glass tray into the first level from the
bottom.

Deep-frozen ready made meals in card
trays which, according to
manufacturer's instructions, are suitable
for use in a normal oven, are normally
also microwave-safe.

41

Grilling

The following grill settings are suitable
for browning food:

Grill n

–

Microwave + Grill h n,

–
Grill n is suitable for flat items which

require a crisp finish or browning.
With Microwave + Grill h n, the

microwave power output is limited to
450 W.

Preparing food for grilling

Meat should be rinsed under fresh
running water and then patted dry.
Do not season with salt before grilling,
as the salt will draw the meat juices out.
Lean meat can be brushed with a little
oil if necessary. Do not use other types
of fat as they can get too dark, burn
and cause smoke. A little butter can be
added to chicken if desired.
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.

Place the rack on the glass tray and
slide into the second or third shelf level
from the bottom, depending on the type
of food you are grilling.
The rack can be used either way up to
achieve the best distance from the grill
element.

Most items should be turned half way
through cooking.

Test 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:

– If there is very little resistance to the

pressure of the spoon, it is still red on
the inside ("rare").

– If there is some resistance the inside

will be pink ("medium").

– If there is great resistance, it is

throughly cooked through ("well
done").

Grilling

The grill temperature cannot be altered,
the grill is either on or off.

Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes
with the oven door shut before grilling.
Do not engage microwave power
during the pre-heating phase.

Brush the rack with oil and place the
prepared food on the rack.

It is best to grill food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that the
grilling time for each item does not vary
too greatly.

such as rubbed in and beaten mixtures,
yeast recipes and cheesecake.

Fan plus Y

Cake tins should be placed on the first
shelf level from the bottom. Place the
rack with the raised section facing
upwards in the glass tray. This ensures
sufficient air circulation all around the

When baking flat items such as biscuits
you should select the second shelf level
from the bottom to ensure even
browning results.
When baking on two levels at the same
time you should select the second and
third levels from the bottom.

as with dark non-reflective tins.

Baking times should not be set too
long. This can lead to the cake etc.
drying out.

Microwave + Fan plus

Slide the glass tray into the 1st shelf
level from the bottom, and place the
baking container on it.

For preference use ovenproof glass or
ceramic baking dishes, as microwaves
can penetrate these materials into the
food being cooked. Metal tins would
reflect microwaves so that they would
only reach the cakes from the top,
resulting in a longer cooking time.

Metal baking tins can also cause
sparking. 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 in microwave combination mode.

Most types of heat-resistant tins or
dishes are suitable. Thin-walled and
bright, non-reflective metal tins can be

44

Baking

Do not use paper based containers
coated with aluminium foil, such as
are sometimes provided with packet
cake mixes. There is the danger of
these catching fire.

Switch on the microwave setting for the
total cooking time. The microwave
setting should not be higher than 150
W.

Tips on baking

Temperature settings, times and
microwave power settings in the
Baking Chart are suggestions only.
Select an average temperature and
time for first attempts and adapt
accordingly.

Place cakes in rectangular tins with
the longer side across the width of the
oven for optimum heat distribution and
even results.

Eating food which has been cooked
correctly is important for good
health.

Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc
until they are golden brown. Do not
allow them to become dark brown.

To achieve even results without
over-browning the food . . .

. . . when baking cakes, pastries, deep
frozen foods such as chips, croquettes,
frozen pizza, baguettes etc.

– always select the lowest temperature

given in the recipe/cooking
instructions on the packaging.
Do not set a temperature higher than
that recommended. Increasing the
temperature may reduce the cooking
time, but will lead to uneven
browning, and unsatisfactory
cooking results.

– 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.

Place chips, croquettes and similar
types of food on baking parchment.

Cleaning and care

Appliance front and control
panel

All surfaces and controls should be

^

cleaned using warm water with a little
washing up liquid applied with a soft
sponge or cloth.

Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft

^

cloth.

E-cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.

To prevent the risk of scratches and
damage to the surface structure of
glass, stainless steel and aluminium
fronted appliances pay particular
attention to the following cleaning
instructions.

Glass fronted appliances

The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasions.

Avoid:
–

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

Clean the door handle and the control
elements regularly, preferably after
each use.
This will help prevent grease and other
deposits adhering to surfaces and
becoming difficult to remove.

Aluminium fronted appliances

Aluminium is affected by the way that
light falls on it, by the surrounding
environment and by the angle you
observe it from.

Aluminium surfaces and controls
may suffer discolouration or damage
if soiling is left on them for too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.

The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasions.

Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,

acids or chlorides,

–

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

–

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents,

–

stainless steel cleaners,

–

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents,

–

oven sprays.

–

cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,

–

dishwasher detergent,

–

oven sprays.

47

Cleaning and care

Stainless steel fronted
appliances

The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasions.

Please observe the separate cleaning
instructions for

stainless steel surfaces,

–

stainless steel coloured controls.

–

Stainless steel surfaces

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a proprietary non-abrasive
cleaning agent designed specifically
for use on stainless steel.
N.B. Do not use on the controls.

Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,

acids or chlorides,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

–

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers,
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.

To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel

Apply sparingly with an even pressure
following the direction of the grain.

Stainless steel coloured controls

The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

acids or chlorides,
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

–

powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive

cleaning agents,
– stainless steel cleaners,
– oven sprays.

Oven interior

The oven interior is stainless steel. The
high temperatures possible when
operating in a traditional oven mode
can cause the steel to darken slightly.

The oven interior gets 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. If left too
long cleaning becomes
unnecessarily difficult, and in
extreme cases impossible.

48

Turn the function selector to the Light
H / v setting.

Cleaning and care

Clean the oven interior using a solution
of hot water and washing up liquid or
mild detergent applied with a sponge,
soft brush or damp cloth. 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.

If food has burnt on, use a mild
non-abrasive cleaner or a proprietary
cleaner for stainless steel, applied with
a non-scouring kitchen sponge.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents
as the material is susceptible to
scratching.

If using an oven spray, the
manufacturer's instructions must be
followed. Do not spray into any of
the openings.

To neutralise odours in the oven, put a
cup of water with some lemon juice in
the oven and simmer for a few minutes.

Residues of fruit juices as well as cake
mixtures are best removed while the
oven is warm.

Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting
discolouration to the surfaces.

Oven interior roof

If the oven interior roof is badly soiled,
the grill element can be lowered to
make cleaning easier.

Wait until the grill element has
cooled down before lowering it to
avoid the danger of being burnt.

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.

^

To lower the grill element loosen and
then remove the nut.

49

Cleaning and care

Lower the grill element gently.

^

Accessories supplied

Combi rack

Wash and dry the rack after each use.
Remove stubborn soiling with a
stainless steel cleaner.

Glass tray

The glass tray can be washed in hot
water and washing up liquid, or in the
dishwasher.

Do not use force to lower the
element as this could cause
damage.

^ After cleaning the grill element, raise

it gently back up again. Refit the nut
and tighten to secure the grill
element back in position.

Door interior

Always keep the door interior clean. Do
not use any scouring agents. 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.

Do not use scouring agents. These
would scratch.

Boiling rod

The boiling rod can be washed in a
dishwasher.

What to do if . . . .

. . . the display does not light up

^ Check whether,
– the appliance is correctly plugged in

at the mains socket and switched on,

Problem solving guide

. . . the microwave / heating functions
but not the interior lighting

The halogen lamp is defective and
needs to be replaced:

Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, (switch off and
unplug at the socket, or remove the
fuse, or switch off at the isolator as
appropriate).

Unscrew and remove the lamp cover.

^

Pull the halogen lamp out.

^
^ Fit a new halogen lamp.

Specification:
12 V, 10 W,
heat resistant to 300 °C,

^ Replace the cover and screw into

place.

^ Reconnect the appliance to the

mains supply.

–

the mains fuse has blown (call the
Service Department),

–

the time display had been switched
off (see "Altering the time of day
display and buzzer").

. . . a programme will not start

Check whether,

–

the appliance door is properly shut if
operating in microwave mode,

–

a power setting and time have been
entered if operating in microwave
mode.

51

Problem solving guide

. . . the food is not sufficiently heated
or is not cooked at the end of a set
time

Check whether,

^

after interrupting a cooking process

–

using microwave power that you
remembered to restart the
programme,

if cooking / reheating in microwave

–

mode the correct duration was
selected for the setting chosen.
The lower the power level the longer
the duration.

. . . cakes or biscuits are not cooked
after a recommended time

^ Check whether,
– the correct temperature was set.
– there were any alterations to the

recipe. The addition of more liquid or
more eggs makes a moister mix
which would take longer to cook.

...food cools down too quickly after
being reheated or cooked in
microwave mode.

When cooked by microwaves, 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. Food
may be warm in the middle but cool on
the edge. When reheating food with
different densities, such as plated
meals, it is sensible to start with a low
power level and lengthen the time
required.

. . . cakes or biscuits are unevenly
browned

There will always be a slight
unevenness.

^

If browning is very uneven, check

–

whether the temperature was set too
high,

–

the colour and material of the baking
tins being used. Bright shiny tins are
not very suitable. Try using a different
tin next time.

52

. . . strange noises are heard when
the microwave or microwave /
combination mode is being used.

Check whether,

^

sparks are being created by the use

–

of metallic crockery, (see "suitable
crockery").

the food is covered with aluminium

–

foil. If so, remove it.

If it is not possible to remedy a fault
by following the instructions given
above, contact the Service
Department. On no account open
the appliance casing.

This appliance should only be
repaired by a suitably qualified
