Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Keep children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the risk of injury.

Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

Technical safety

Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person authorised by Miele in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Great care should be taken to ensure that children do not touch the appliance when it is being used. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent become quite hot. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. Danger of burning!

Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. Danger of injury!

Do not use the microwave function of the appliance if

– the door is warped,

– the door hinges are loose,

– holes or cracks are visible in the housing, the door, the door seal or the oven interior walls.

Operating the appliance with this type of damage will result in microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user.

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. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

6

Warning and Safety instructions

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 doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply via a multisocket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been fully installed.

Never open the housing of the appliance.

Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

the mains fuse is disconnected,

the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable),

or it has been switched off at the isolator or at the wall socket and the plug has been withdrawn.

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.

If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele approved service technician.

This microwave compact oven must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

cooking, reheating or defrosting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.

The top heat/grill elements get very hot when the oven is being used on the Grill , Fan Plus , Fan Grill , Microwave+Grill , Microwave+Fan Grill functions. Danger of burning!

Plastic containers must only be used with Microwave solo. These melt at high temperatures, and if used with any other function could damage the appliance.

Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size, amount and type of food, its initial

temperature, changes to recipe and the shape and size of cooking containers. Always ensure that food is suitably cooked or reheated. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at temperatures over 70 °C for a minimum of 10 minutes. Therefore, when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Please be aware that using microwave power will shorten cooking, reheating and defrosting times considerably compared to when using functions without microwave power. Make sure that you keep to the recommended grilling times when using the Grill and Fan Grill functions.

However, excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even cause the food to catch fire.

Do not use the microwave function to dry breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, grain etc.

Do not use any grilling functions to heat and crisp up rolls or bread, or to dry flowers, herbs, grain etc.

Use the Fan Plus function for this type of procedure and do not leave the oven unattended.

Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fats as these are a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Never heat undiluted alcohol in the microwave, as this can easily ignite.

If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on the hot heating elements. Alcohol should be burnt off before the dish is placed in the oven to avoid this danger.

Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food in the appliance. Pressure can build up and they may explode, resulting in injury or damage.

To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke occurs in the oven interior. Cancel the cooking process by switching the appliance off, switch off at the socket and remove the plug. Do not open the oven door until the smoke has dispersed.

Moisture in food could lead to corrosion in the oven interior and corrosion damage of the control panel, worktop or housing unit.

Always cover food when using the Microwave (Solo) function. After food has been brought to the boil, continue cooking it at a lower setting to avoid excess steam escaping.

If you wish to complete a cooking process using the residual heat in the oven, do not switch the appliance off. Leave the function selector at the position set and turn the temperature selector to the lowest setting.

Cover any food which is left in the oven to be kept hot. This also prevents the food from drying out.

Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire.

Do not lean or sit on an open oven door, or place heavy items on it. This can damage the appliance. The maximum load bearing capacity of the door is 8 kg.

Do not use full power to warm empty dishes or to dry out herbs. The appliance could be damaged if used without food, or if it is incorrectly loaded.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

The microwave combination 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.

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.

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.

The boiling rod ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that bubbles form at an early stage during the operation.

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!

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Make sure that you only use microwave safe containers when using the Microwave (Solo) function or a combination programme which uses microwave power. Observe the instructions given in "Suitable containers for microwave ovens".

Ovenproof earthenware can retain a 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.

Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are intended for use in normal ovens. These heatretaining 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.

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 "Suitable containers for microwave ovens - Plastics".

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!

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and eggplants, should be pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.

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.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

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

11

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance or machine. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person.

The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance or the machine to prevent misuse.

Guide to the appliance

Accessories supplied

Rack with non-tip safety notches

Glass tray

The glass tray is suitable for use with all cooking functions.

Always use the glass tray when using the Microwave (Solo) function.

Do not place items weighing more than 8 kg on it.

Do not place the hot glass tray on a cold surface, such as a tiled or granite worktop.

The glass tray could get damaged. Use a suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest.

The rack is designed to be compatible with microwaves and so can be used with programmes which use microwave power (combination programmes).

Do not place the rack directly on the floor of the oven and do not use it with the Microwave (Solo) function. This could cause arcing which could damage the oven.

Do not place items weighing more than 8 kg on the rack.

The rack gets hot when used with combination programmes which use the microwave function. Danger of burning.

The rack has non-tip safety notches which prevent it being pulled right out when it only needs to be pulled out partially.

14

Guide to the appliance

When pushing the rack back in, always ensure that the safety notches are at the rear of the oven (see illustration).

To remove the rack, lift it upwards slightly at the front when the safety notches connect with the sides of the oven.

We recommend using the rack together with the glass tray when cooking items on the rack which might drip.

Boiling rod

When heating liquids, the boiling rod provided should always be placed in the container. It helps liquids to heat evenly.

Safety features

Use

 

 

System lock

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

 

overuse 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

Use

 

 

Door contact switch

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

The standard factory default setting can be changed

display" function

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

In a microwave oven there is a highfrequency 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 container being used (see "Suitable containers for microwave ovens"). 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 vigorously. The friction caused 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 is much quicker than when using a function which does not use microwave energy.

nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are generally retained.

the colour, texture and taste of food are not impaired.

Power level

The following power levels can be selected:

80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W, 850 W, 1000 W

Microwaves stop being produced as soon as the cooking process is interrupted or the appliance door is opened.

Functions

Functions which do not use microwave energy

Fan Plus

This system works by the circulation of heated air. As the heated air reaches the food straight away, temperatures are lower than those needed for "Conventional heat" where the heat is directed at the food from above and below.

When using Fan Plus you can cook on two different levels at the same time.

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.

Defrost

The air in the oven is kept at room temperature and circulated by the fan to gently defrost frozen food.

Fan Grill

Temperatures used for Fan Grill are lower than those used with the Grill function.

For grilling thick cuts, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.

Rapid Heat-up

This function heats up the appliance quickly to the temperature required. The temperature indicator light will go out when the pre-selected temperature has been reached. The function selector must then be turned to the function you wish to use for cooking.

Functions which use microwave energy (Combination programmes)

Microwave+Grill

Microwave+Fan Plus

Microwave+Fan Grill

The combination programmes enable food to be reheated and cooked quickly with even browning results.

The Microwave+Fan Plus combination programme is the most effective because the heat reaches the food immediately giving the greatest savings in both time and energy.

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.

Before using for the first time

Before the oven can be used, you will need to

release the controls by pressing them if they are retracted when delivered.

set the time of day.

Setting the time of day

The time of day can only be entered when the function selector is at "0".

In the display:

the clock symbol will light up.

the time of day and the triangle underneath the symbol will start flashing.

I2:00

Use the temperature selector or theor sensors to enter the hour first.

Touch the OK sensor.

This confirms the hour and the minutes will then start to flash.

Use the temperature selector or theor sensors to enter the minutes.

Touch the OK sensor.

This confirms the minutes.

The time of day you have selected has now been entered.

If there is a power cut, the current time of day will be stored by the appliance for 24 hours. After 24 hours, "i2:00" will appear and the clock will need to be reset.

Once it has been reset, the time of day needs to be confirmed with the OK sensor.

Changing the time of day

Touch the OK sensor twice.

Use the temperature selector or the

or sensors to enter the hour first.

Touch the OK sensor.

Use the temperature selector or the

or sensors to enter the minutes.

Touch the OK sensor.

The time of day has been changed.

Before using for the first time

Cleaning and heating up for the first time

Remove any protective foil from the front of the appliance.

See "Cleaning and care" for more information.

Before using the appliance for the first time,

take all accessories out of the oven and wash them.

heat up the appliance once with nothing in it.

With new appliances, there is usually a smell during first use. High temperatures will help dissipate this smell more quickly.

Please ensure the room is well ventilated during this operation. Close doors to other rooms to prevent the smell spreading throughout the house.

Before heating it up, it is a good idea to wipe the interior out with a damp cloth first. This way any dust or bits of packaging that may have accumulated in the oven compartment during storage and unpacking will be removed.

Turn the function selector to Fan Plus .

The recommended temperature of 160 °C will appear.

Use the temperature selector to set the highest temperature (250 °C).

Heat up the empty appliance for at least an hour.

The timer can be used to set the finish time (see "Operation - Programming cooking durations - Automatic switchoff").

Leave the appliance to cool down to room temperature.

Then wipe the oven interior out with a solution of hot water and a mild detergent and then dry it thoroughly with a soft clean cloth.

Leave the oven door open until the oven interior is completely dry.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

– are reflected by metal,

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.

Ovenproof earthenware can retain a considerable amount of moisture. Earthenware and porcelain containers with hollow handles and lid knobs must only be used in this oven 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.

Metal

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

Metal reflects microwaves and obstructs the cooking process.

Do not use plastic pots where the foil lid has not been completely removed as small pieces of foil could cause sparks.

22

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Exceptions:

The rack supplied with the appliance is suitable for use with microwave power (combination programmes).

However, it must not be placed on the oven floor.

Metal baking trays can be used with combination programmes which use microwave power.

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 dishes on the rack in case the dish sparks or arcs. If sparks occur, transfer food to a microwave-safe container.

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.

Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times.

Metal meat skewers or clamps 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.
