Description of the functions

Functions

User responsive

The appliance is designed to be “user responsive”. When the user presses a function control the relevant display and control lamp will automatically light up.

Operating modes

You can choose from the following operating modes:

–Microwave For defrosting, reheating and cooking food in a short time

– Fan Heat (hot air) For baking, cooking food using hot air circulation.

– Auto Roast For automatic browning and continued cooking.

– Grill For grilling flat food. Grilling takes place with the door shut.

Automatic programmes

For cooking, reheating and defrosting selected food groups using the microwave.

The automatic programmes are dependent on weight, i.e. after selecting the appropriate food group, you then enter the weight of the food and the microwave power setting and time will be calculated automatically.

Memory function

For storing in the memory up to 5 steps for a cooking process, e.g. for initial and continued cooking.

Short step system

For storing in the memory the microwave power setting and the time for cooking processes you use frequently.

Automatic timer

For programming a process up to 23 hours and 59 minutes beforehand.

–Fan Grill For grilling thick cuts, e.g. rolled meat, poultry. Grilling takes place with the door shut.

Combination programmes

For combining the microwave with a normal oven operating mode.

Minute minder

For monitoring other kitchen activities, e.g. boiling an egg on a hob.

Time of day display

When the appliance is switched off the time of day is shown in the digital display. You can also turn off this display.

Description of the functions

Safety features

Door lock

Once a cooking process using the microwave has begun, the door will remain locked until the end of the programme. You can cancel the door lock by pressing the Stop/C touch control. The programme will then be interrupted.

Programming lock

The programming lock prevents functions being entered unintentionally.

Safety cut-out

A process using a normal oven operating mode can be started without programming in a time. To prevent overuse and the consequent danger of fire, the appliance switches off automatically one hour after a process using a selected operating mode and temperature has begun, or up to 9 hours 59 minutes after it was last used.

If the microwave is switched off in between using two microwave cooking processes, there will be a delay of about 30 seconds before the new setting is accepted. Please therefore wait a short while before starting the second process.

Energy saving functions

Door contact switch

If the door is opened during a process using the hot air fan and / or heating element(s), a contact switch for the door switches these off automatically. If the door is opened during a process which is using only a normal oven operating mode, the programme will continue to run again as soon as the door is shut. If ’Stop/C’ was pressed before opening the door, then ’Start’ must be pressed for the programme to continue.

Making use of residual heat

With the Fan Heat (hot air) and Auto Roast systems the heating shuts off automatically with the door closed when the current ambient temperature is sufficient to finish cooking the food. Whenever heat is lost, e.g. when the door is opened, the heating will switch on again automatically.

“Night time dimming” option

You can programme the appliance so that the brightness of the display is dimmed between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am. (22.00 to 6.00 hours).

Optional oven interior lighting

You can turn off the oven interior lighting if you do not want it to remain on during the entire cooking process. It will then only light up for approx. 10 seconds after you have pressed the Enter touch control.

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.

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

Disposal of your old machine

Old machines may contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the machine presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

See the appropriate section in the Warning and Safety instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

Before installation and before using the appliance for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully. They contain important notes on safety, on the operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance. Do not let children access the appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.

Correct usage

The appliance is intended for do-

mestic use only: to cook food, and in particular to defrost, re-heat, cook, bake, roast, and to grill. Any other usage is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of the appliance.

Technical safety

If the connection cable is dam-

aged the new cable must be fitted by a Miele service engineer or an authorised agent.

Do not use the microwave function

of the appliance if – the door is damaged or broken. – the door hinges are loose. – holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven interior walls. Switching on with this type of damage could result in microwaves no longer being contained within the oven, and presenting a hazard to the user.

Never open the casing of the ap-

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

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.

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, (for example danger of overheating).

Warning and Safety instructions

The electrical safety of this ap-

pliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system, which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system.

This appliance must only be oper-

ated as a built-in appliance. This is necessary to ensure that all electric components are shielded.

Installation work and repairs may

only be carried out by suitably competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the wall socket,

and the plug removed – or the mains fuse is withdrawn – or the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable)

Do not pull on the cable, only on the

plug.

Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or

between the door and the oven.

Use

General notes

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 ensure that food is suffi-

ciently 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 more than 70°C, for more than 10 minutes). If in doubt select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Always remember that cooking

times 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 eventually 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not leave the oven unattended

when cooking with oils and fats as these can be a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.

If you see smoke rising from the

food in the oven keep the oven door closed. Turn the oven selector switch to “0", or remove the plug from the socket. Do not open the oven door until the smoke has dispersed.

Never heat undiluted alcohol in the

microwave oven as this can easily ignite.

Do not heat up unopened tins of

food in the oven as pressure will build up in the tin and it will explode.

Food left in the oven to take ad-

vantage of residual heat should always be covered to avoid it drying out, and to avoid a possible build-up of condensation which could adversely affect the oven interior.

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.

The glass dish and the rack take a

maximum load of 8 kg. Do not exceed this.

Wear oven gloves when removing the glass tray from the oven. If the glass tray has a heavy load, pull it only slightly towards you, and then hold firmly at the sides as you take it out.

Do not lean or sit on the open oven

door. This could damage the appliance. Take care in the region of the hinges. An oven door can support a maximum load of 8 kg.

When it is hot do not place the glass

tray on a cold surface, such as a tile or granite worktop . It could break. Place it on a pot rest or a wire rack.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could give rise to a short circuit, or cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer of the oven cannot accept any responsibility.

Microwave mode

Never operate the oven without

any absorbing material such as food or liquid inside, unless specifically allowed in the manufacturer’s literature.

Always check the temperature of

the actual food itself after taking it out of the oven. Do not be misled by the temperature of the container. In

particular when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly or infirm, it is essential to check the temperature of the food or liquid itself, after stirring and before serving.

The temperature of the container does not necessarily give a correct indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it.

Warning and Safety instructions

Never cook or reheat food or

liquids in sealed containers 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 be placed into the container.

When heating, and especially reheating liquids, milk, sauces etc., in the microwave oven, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This socalled ’boiling delay’ can cause a sudden build up of bubbles, when the container is shaken on removal from the oven. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. There is a 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 cut-

lery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire ties. Such items could be damaged, or cause a fire hazard. The rack supplied with the appliance is designed to be compatible with microwaves, and can therefore be used with the combined microwave and browning functions.

The rack gets hot when operating

either the microwave function or the browning element, or both. There is a danger of burning.

Eggs can only be cooked in their

shells in the microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling device. Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not be reheated in the microwave oven as this may lead to the eggs bursting, even once they have been removed from 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 would otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Do not reheat food in the oven in

heat-retaining bags intended for 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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Food with a thick skin or peel,

such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes, 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 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, dangerously.

Normal oven functions: Fan Heat, Auto Roast, Grill, Fan Grill

Caution - Danger of burning High temperatures arise when the oven is being used as a normal oven.

Great care should be taken to en-

sure that small children do not touch the oven when it is being used. External parts of the oven such as door glass, vents and the facia panel can become quite hot.

Wearing heat-resistant oven gloves

is recommended when placing food in the oven, turning it or removing it.

When the Grill or Fan Grill function has been chosen, either solo or in a combination programme the grill element becomes very hot and there is a danger of burning.

Wait until the grill element has

cooled down before lowering it for cleaning.

Do not use force to pull it down as

this can cause the element to break.

Do not use the oven to heat up the

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

Warning and Safety instructions

When using kitchen appliances

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

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 might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine

switch off and disconnect it from the power supply. Cut off and render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the machine to prevent misuse.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by noncompliance with safety instructions.

Before using for the first time

Wipe out the oven interior with hot water and washing up liquid. Dry using a soft cloth.

Do not shut the oven door until the interior is completely dry, to avoid odours and the possibility of corrosion developing.

Wash the accessories.

With new appliances there is usually a smell during the first use. It is dispelled more quickly by using a high temperature as follows:

Run the oven on the FAN HEAT setting for at least an hour.

Select FAN HEAT with the oven function selector.

Confirm by pressing Enter.

Enter

Enter a time (at least 1 hour) with the + touch control.

Press the Start touch control.

Ensure the room is well ventilated during this process.

Enter

Enter the highest possible temperature with the + touch control.

Operating modes

Microwave Mode

When using the microwave mode, food is cooked, re-heated or defrosted in a short time.

Functional description

This oven is equipped with two magne-

b. These convert electrical en-

trons ergy into microwaves.

There are two stirrer fans the oven ceiling and the other under the oven floor. These two interior surfaces can be penetrated by microwaves. The fans distribute the microwaves from above and below evenly throughout the oven interior, rebounding off the walls to reach and enter the food.

This contributes to the food being heated through evenly, also when food is being cooked on two levels, e.g. on the floor of the oven and on the lower shelf level.

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.

c, one above

Operating modes

Microwaves pass through a suitable container and find their way directly into the foodstuff. All foodstuffs contain 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 foodstuff 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 with-

out adding much liquid or cooking oil

– cooking, reheating and defrosting in

a microwave oven is quicker than using normal oven methods

– nutrients, such as vitamins and mine-

rals, are retained

– colour, texture and taste of food are

not impaired

– the surface temperature stays cool

enough to avoid browning.

Normal oven operating systems

In Miele ovens these include Fan Heat, Auto Roast, Grill and Fan Grill.

With these normal oven methods food is cooked and browned.

Fan Heat

This method works by the circulation of hot air.

A fan situated on the back wall sucks in the air, heats it over a ring element and blows the heated air through the carefully spaced openings in the back panel.

As the heat is quickly transferred to the food, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven, except when roasting sirloin.

With Fan Heat food can be baked or roasted at both levels at the same time.

Auto Roast

After the selected temperature is entered, the oven heats initially to a preset high temperature which seals the meat to keep it succulent and tasty. The oven temperature is then automatically returned to the temperature setting selected.

When roasting, you are strongly recommended to cover the food. Not only does this help retain all the juices, but will also make cleaning the oven easier afterwards.

Operating modes

Grill

As the grill element needs to radiate a high heat in order to cook the food, it will take several minutes after being switched on for the element to glow red hot and so produce sufficient infra-red heat for grilling.

Combination programmes

By using the combination programmes you can quickly reheat and cook food while browning it at the same time.

You can combine the microwave operating mode with each of the normal oven modes.

The Fan Heat (hot air) mode is best suited for combining with the microwave since the heat reaches the baked, roasted or cooked food immediately, maximising the time and energy saved.

Fan Grill

The hot air from the grill is distributed by the fan in the rear of the oven evenly over all the food being grilled. This enables a lower temperature to be selected than for normal oven grilling.

Programmes

Automatic programmes

The microwave’s automatic programmes can be used to cook, warm up or defrost food. The relevant power setting and time are selected automatically. You only need to enter the food group and the weight.

“Solo” refers to one operating mode in contrast to “Combination programme” which can include more than one operating mode.

In general when using the modes in combination, you should set the microwave power level for baking not higher than 150 W, and for cooking, roasting and grilling not higher than 450 W.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

– are reflected by metal.

Metal

When working in microwave mode metal containers, aluminium foil and metal cutlery, as well as china with metallic decor (e.g. gold trim, cobalt blue), must not be placed in the microwave oven. The metal reflects the microwaves and so hinders the cooking process.

We recommend when defrosting and cooking pre-cooked meals packed in metal containers, the food should be removed from the foil container and placed in a container suitable for use in a microwave oven. Microwaves cannot penetrate aluminium foil, so the food can only be heated from the top. Re-heating / cooking will take longer and be less even than if the food was transferred to a dish suitable for a microwave oven.

Sparks and arcing may occur when using metal containers.

– pass through glass and chinaware...

– and are absorbed by food.

Exceptions:

– Small pieces of aluminium foil For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small quantities of aluminium foil may be used to mask wingtips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the process. Important: 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 Metal skewers and clamps should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

The microwave oven rack is suitable for use in a microwave oven.

Do not place it on the oven floor!

The rack can get hot.

Glassware

Heat-resistant glass is 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 for use.

Porcelain (chinaware)

Porcelain (chinaware) is suitable.

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.

Plastics

Plastic containers must only be used for microwave mode alone and not in normal oven mode. Plastics must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 180 °C.

Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food.

Special plastic utensils, designed for use in microwave ovens are available from most department and hardware stores. Melamine ware is not suitable as it absorbs energy and heats up. When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven. 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. 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.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain metal.

This makes them unsuitable for use in a microwave oven.

Roasting bags and -tubes can be used. 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. Holes should be made according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Do not use metal clips or wire ties, even if bound by paper.

There is a danger that they will ignite when heated.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable.

Select Microwave mode with the

Moisture contained in the wood evaporates when exposed to microwave energy, causing the wood to dry and crack.

function selector.

Enter

Disposable containers

Only those plastic disposable containers which are specified by the producer as suitable for use in a microwave oven may be used.

Do not leave the oven unattended when re-heating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic paper or other inflammable material.

Disposable containers are not always recyclable or 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.

Select the highest microwave power setting (1200 W) with the + control.

Confirm by pressing “Enter”.

Enter

Enter a time of 30 seconds with the + touch control.

Press the Start control.

Shut the door.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

If a crackling noise is heard accompanied by sparks during the test, switch off the appliance immediately. Turn the function selector switch to the “0" position. The water in the glass should be warm, but the dish cool. If the dish is very hot and the water is cold, it would be unwise to use the dish. Any crockery which causes this reaction, or which is hot on removal is unsuitable for use in the microwave oven.

Note: Although some ovenproof earthenware can be used in a microwave oven, it may contain a considerable amount of moisture, causing it to become hot during use. It is normally advisable to avoid using it in a microwave oven.

If any doubt exists about the suitability of containers, please contact the maker.

This test cannot be used to check whether items with hollow knobs or handles are suitable for use in a microwave oven.

Always use lids or covers made of microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use a clingfilm recommended for use in a microwave oven, (pierce as instructed by the producer).

Sealed glass containers, such as jars of food, must be opened before they are placed in the oven.

Do not use a lid if – cooking meals which are to be given

a crisp topping.

– using a combination programme.

A cover

– prevents too much steam escaping,

especially when cooking foodstuffs which need longer to cook, such as potatoes,

– shortens and evens out the cooking

process, – prevents food from drying out, – prevents any loss of aroma.

Operation - Controls

The function selector switch and the touch controls are used to operate the appliance.

Defrosting

Defrost with – the automatic defrosting programme, – or the microwave. We recommend the Automatic Defrost

programme for defrosting meat, poultry, fish, fruit, bread, soup, plated meals, casseroles, vegetables.

This programme is also the best for defrosting dishes containing other ingredients besides meat, poultry or fish, e.g goulash, casseroles, soups etc. Select “Casseroles” from the food groups.

When using the automatic defrost programme select “Bread” from the food groups for defrosting cakes which have a moist topping, such as fruit or cream cheese and also for defrosting bread rolls.

We recommend using the microwave mode for defrosting delicate foods.

Select a microwave power setting

Remove the food from its packaging and place it in a microwave-safe dish.

Place it in the middle of the oven floor. If you are defrosting a large quantity,

e.g. 2 kg of fish, you can also use the glass tray as a container. Place the glass tray on the oven floor.

Turn, divide up or stir the food halfway through the defrosting time. The automatic programme has an audible tone which sounds as a reminder.

After defrosting

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

–of 150 W

for defrosting quite delicate foodstuffs, e.g. milk, cake etc.

–of 80 W

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

Re-heating

Reheat with – the automatic programme for

reheating, – the microwave. We recommend the Automatic Reheat

programme for reheating meat, poultry, fish, soup, plated meals, casseroles and vegetables.

Use the Microwave mode to reheat foodstuffs which are unsuitable for the automatic programme.

Select the following microwave power settings to reheat food

–drinks1200 W, – food 850 W or 600 W – food for babies 450 W.

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 at 450 Watt, and tasted so that it is not too hot for a baby’s palate before serving. Other food or drink when reheated should be heated to a high temperature and allowed to cool to a suitable heat for eating. For made-up milk follow the maker’s instructions.

Always remove the lids from jars, especially jars of baby food.

Remove the rubber teat and seal top before warming baby bottles.

When re-heating liquids place the boiling rod supplied with the machine into the cup or glass.

Never re-heat hard boiled eggs in a microwave oven, even without the shell. The eggs can burst.

The time required depends largely on the nature and initial temperature of the food and the amount to be cooked. Food taken straight from the fridge requires for example longer to re-heat than food stored at room temperature.

Always ensure that the food is adequately heated.

If in any doubt that a sufficiently high temperature has been reached, continue re-heating 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. With the automatic programme an audible tone sounds as a reminder.

Always use a lid or cover for reheating food, except when a drier finish is needed, e.g. breaded poultry / meat.

Re-heating

Heating on two levels

Because of the way that microwaves are introduced from top and bottom it is possible to reheat food on two levels at the same time.

Place dishes on the oven floor and

on the glass tray. Insert the glass

tray on the upper level supports. You can arrange – three plates (Ø 20 cm) in a triangle,

two plates (Ø 22 cm) side by side,

or two plates (Ø 24.5 cm) diagonally

on the oven floor,

After re-heating

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 and similar dishes), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot.

Allow food to stand for a few minutes once a programme has ended to allow 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.

– two plates (Ø 20 cm) side by side, or

two plates (Ø 22 cm) diagonally on

the glass tray.

Cooking

The following modes are suitable for cooking

– the Automatic-Programme, Cooking – the microwave operating mode, – the oven mode Fan Heat, – the combination programme

Microwave + Fan Heat,

– the combination programme

Microwave + Grill.

The Automatic-Programme is suitable for cooking meat and poultry which are not required to be crisped or browned, fish, soups, casseroles and vegetables.

The Microwave mode is suitable for cooking noodles, etc, pasta, rice and semolina pudding. First select 850 W and then turn down to 450 W to continue cooking, or 150 W for simmering.

Fan Heat is recommended for everyday cooking, e.g. cakes, pastry, meringues, pizza, potatoes and other vegetables.

Select a Combination programme, if you want a shorter cooking time and a browned finish.

Microwave

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

Place the dish on the oven floor. Add a little water to vegetables which

have been kept stored. Vegetable cooking times depend on the texture of the vegetable. Fresh vegetables contain water and usually cook more quickly.

Stir and turn food at least once during cooking. With the automatic programme an audible tone sounds as a reminder.

Food with skin or peel, such as tomatoes, some types of sausage, jacket potatoes and aubergines, should be pricked or the skin cut several times before to prevent food from bursting.

Boiling eggs in the microwave oven is only possible with a special egg-boiling device, available from specialist shops.

Otherwise the eggs will burst. Eggs can only be cooked in a microwave oven out of their shells in a glass dish. The yolk must be pricked several times first with a sharp object.

The Microwave + Grill Combination programme is very suitable for cooking and crisping or browning.

Cooking

Fan Heat

Slide the glass tray with the rack into the lowest runner level.

The following pots are suitable: ovenproof china or glassware, earthen-

ware, pans with heat resistant handles. Cover foods such as potatoes or veget-

ables which are to be simmered or poached, to avoid them drying out.

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

Combination programmes

Slide the glass tray with the rack into the lowest runner level.

With the browning element - microwave combination only use heat-resistant, microwave-safe crockery. No metal.

Cover food being cooked in the Microwave + Fan Heat combination to avoid it drying out.

Ensure that perishable types of food, such as meat and fish, are cooked for an appropriate length of time.

Leave food being cooked in the Microwave + Grill combination uncovered so that it can brown.

Defrosting and Re-heating / Cooking

For simultaneous defrosting and reheating or cooking one of two procedures is suitable

– using microwave mode, – using the combination programme

Microwave + Grill

The Microwave mode is suitable for deep frozen food which you do not wish to brown.

The Combination programme is suit- able for deep frozen pre-cooked meals, which are to be crisped and browned.

Microwave mode

Deep-frozen pre-cooked meals can be defrosted and immediately re-heated in the same process, selecting 850 W and then 450 W .

See table on the next page for times. Remove the food from its packaging

and place in a covered microwave-safe dish for defrosting and re-heating or cooking. Exception: Minced meat should be left uncovered while cooking. Soups, stew and vegetables should be stirred several times during the process. Separate slices of meat half-way through the programme. Turn pieces of meat and fish at the half-way stage.

Combination programme

For deep-frozen pre-cooked meals which are to be crisped and browned, the microwave + Grill combination can be selected. Choose a microwave power setting of 450 W and a temperature of 220 – 250 °C.

Put the pre-cooked meal in a heat resistant, microwave-proof dish, and place on the glass tray. Slide the tray into the 2nd level. Do not cover.

Pre-cooked meals in aluminium dishes can 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 pre-cooked meals in cardboard trays which, according to manufacturer’s instructions are suitable for use in a normal oven, are microwavesafe.

Grilling

The following offer a grilling option: – Grill mode, –Fan Grill mode, – The combination programme

Microwave + Grill,

– The Combination programme

Microwave + Fan Grill.

Remember to fit the grease filter to the back panel in front of the fan when using Fan Grill, either Solo or in a Combination programme.

Grill mode is suitable for grilling flat pieces of food, e.g. chops, steak, toast, burgers.

Fan Grill mode is suitable for grilling larger pieces of meat, e.g. poultry and kebabs.

With the Combination programmes the microwave power output is limited to 300 W maximum for the total grilling time.

Grill

Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes

with the oven door shut. Do not select a microwave setting.

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.

Slide the glass tray with the rack – into the 2nd runner level from bottom

for flat pieces of food,

– into the lowest runner level for

thicker pieces of food,

Most items should be turned half way through cooking.

To grill thicker pieces of food more gradually after an initial high temperature, continue grilling at a lower temperature setting to allow the food to cook through to the centre.

Preparing food for grilling

Clean, wipe and season. Do not salt slices of meat beforehand as this detracts from the taste.

Add a little oil if necessary. Other fats quickly become black or cause the food to 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.

Test for 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”).

Data given are for guidelines only. Values obtained from a machine designed for the German market.

Roasting

Suitable cooking modes for roasting are:

– Auto Roast, – the combination programme

Microwave + Auto Roast

When open roasting on the rack fit the grease filter in front of the fan grille at the rear of the oven.

Use Auto roast to give meat or poultry a crisp browned finish.

Select a combination programme to cook in a shorter time.

The combination programme is not usually suitable for cooking roast beef or fillet steak. The centre would be too well cooked before the exterior is browned.

Put fish or poultry into the oven without pre-heating. Exception: Pre-heat beef and beef fillet at the temperature suggested.

Cooking in a covered pot is highly recommended:

– the meat stays succulent, – the oven interior stay cleaner than

when roasting on the rack.

Half way through the cooking time remove the lid from the pot if browning the meat.

Auto Roast

Slide the glass tray with the rack into the first runner from the bottom.

The following pots can be used: roasting tins, pots, earthenware, ovenproof glass, roasting foil. Make sure the pots and lid have heatresistant handles.

The roasting time depends on the type of meat, the size and thickness of the cut, and can be calculated as follows:

Thickness of the roasting cut of meat x time per cm per type of meat, see chart.

Type of meat time per cm

Beef topside / Venison Pork / Veal / Lamb Sirloin fillet

thickness

15 – 18 mins. 12 – 15 mins.

8 – 10 mins.

Example: Lamb roast, 8 cm thick 8 x 12 minutes per cm = 96 mins. roasting time

(NB there is also a traditional calculation of approx. 20 minutes to the lb, (454 grammes) and 20 minutes over).

The larger the roast, the lower the temperature to be selected. For cuts above 3 kg select a temperature approx. 10 °C lower than that given in the roasting chart. Roasting will take longer at the lower temperature, but will be more even.

Note: When roasting on the rack set a temperature of approx. 20 °C lower than in a covered pot.

Roasting

Browning only occurs towards the end of the roasting time. 15 – 20 minutes before the end of roasting time take the lid off the pot.

Do not select a higher temperature than that advised. The meat will brown, but not be completely cooked.

Microwave + Auto Roast

Slide the glass tray with the rack into the first runner level from the bottom.

Use only heat resistant pots, with no metal in the pot or lid. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal to reach the food in the pot.

If using roasting foil – cut the foil approx 40 cm longer than

the piece of food

– and tie carefully. Make sure the pot,

foil and ties are suitable for microwave use.

Together with Auto roast, select a microwave setting for the total cooking time of:

– 300 W for roasting meat or fish, – 150 W for roasting poultry.

Useful hints

Roasting in a covered pot

Season the meat and place in the pot. Add some knobs of butter or margarine or a little oil or cooking fat. Add about

/8 l water when roasting a big lean joint of meat (2 – 3 kg), or roasting poultry with a high fat content.

Roasting on the rack

Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or place a few strips of streaky bacon on the top. Do not add too much liquid to the tray during cooking as this will hinder the browning process. Please note that open roasting can give rise to excessive smoke.

Roasting poultry

For a crisp finish, baste the poultry 10 minutes before the end of cooking time with slightly salted water.

Roasting deep frozen meat

Deep frozen meat should be defrosted first.

After the roasting process is finished

Take the roast out of the oven, wrap in alluminium foil and leave to stand for about 10 minutes. This helps retain the juices when the meat is carved.

Baking

The following settings are recommended for baking:

– Fan Heat – the combination programme

Microwave + Fan Heat.

Select Fan Heat for baking small cakes, swiss roll, pastry doughs.

Select the combination programme for doughs which require longer baking, such as rubbed in and beaten mixtures, yeast recipes and cheesecake.

Fan Heat

Slide the glass tray with the rack into the 1st runner from the bottom, and place the baking tin on this.

Do not push the glass tray right to the back wall, but leave a gap of about 2 cm. Otherwise browning will be uneven.

Most types of heat-resistant tins or dishes are suitable, including thinwalled and bright, non-reflective metal moulds.

Increasing the temperature and reducing the time can have an adverse effect on browning.

To achieve even browning it might be better to select a slightly longer cooking time at a slightly lower temperature.

Combination programme

Slide the glass tray with the rack into the 1st runner from the bottom, and place the baking dish on this.

Do not push the glass tray right to the back wall, but leave a gap of about 2 cm. Otherwise browning will be uneven.

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.

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

Baking

With metal baking tins there may be sparking. Try positioning the tin differently on the glass tray.

If sparking continues, do not use this tin again in microwave combination mode.

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.

Temperature settings and microwave power settings are given within a range in the Baking Chart. These take into account different types of baking tin, quantities of dough and recipe preparation. Select an average temperature for first attempts and adapt accordingly.

The same applies to time settings. At the end of the shorter time given,

check to see whether the cake etc is done. Insert a wooden or metal skewer in the centre. If it comes out clean without dough sticking to it, the cake is ready.

Cleaning and care

Stainless steel surfaces

Never use abrasive cleaning agents or those containing sand, soda or chlorides, as these will damage the surface.

For the stainless steel surfaces use a non-abrasive mild cream cleaner for stainless steel. Apply with even pressure, afterwards using a damp cloth to wipe away and then a soft cloth to dry the surfaces.

Glass front, controls

Wipe the glass front and the controls with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid in water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaners as these will damage the surface.

For appliances with a white finish, please clean the door handle and the control panel after each use with a mild washing-up detergent. This will avoid a build-up of grease or other deposits which could burn on and become unsightly.

Oven interior

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

Clean the oven interior regularly, preferably after each use. If left too long cleaning becomes unnecessarily difficult, and in extreme cases impossible.

Clean with washing up liquid or a mild detergent and water, using a sponge, a soft brush or a damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

If anything has become burnt on, use a non-abrasive mild cream cleaner for stainless steel, applied with a sponge.

Do not use any scouring agent which could scratch. If using an oven spray, the manufacturer’s instructions must be followed. Do not spray into any of the openings.

Do not let water or any other substance find its way into any openings.

Cleaning and care

Residues of fruit juices as well as cake mixtures are best removed while the oven is warm. Spillages of fruit juices can cause lasting discoloration. Dull patches may remain permanently in the oven tray after roasting or grilling.

Glass back panel

The glass back panel can be removed for cleaning.

Gently lift the glass panel and take it out carefully.

Oven interior roof

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

Wait until the grill element has cooled down before lowering it. Otherwise there is the danger of being burnt.

Pull the fixing knob downwards to lower the grill element.

Clean in the dishwasher or wash by hand.

When washing the glass panel by hand lay it on a smooth surface, to avoid any damage.

Do not use any scouring agents. These cause scratches.

Reverse the procedure to refit the glass panel with care. The openings in the back wall of the oven must not be blocked.

Lower the grill element gently.

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

Cleaning and care Problem solving guide

After cleaning the grill element, raise it gently back up again and secure. The fixing knob must engage.

Door interior

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

Accessories

Grease filter

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

Rack

Wash and dry the rack after each use. Remove soils 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 scouring agents. These would scratch.

Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent service technicians trained by Miele. Improper repairs may pose a serious risk to the user. The following minor malfunctions can be corrected without calling the Service Department:

What to do if . . . .

. . . the display area is dark

Check whether: – the appliance is correctly plugged in, – the mains fuse has blown (call the

Service Department), – the time display had been switched

off (see Section on “Time of day dis-

play”).

. . . nothing happens when a touch control is pressed.

Check whether: – the indicator lamp for that control is

lit up, – the programme lock is activated

(see Section “Programme lock”).

Boiling rod

The boiling rod can be washed in a dishwasher.

. . . a process will not start.

Check whether:

– if operating in microwave mode the

appliance door is properly shut,

– if operating in microwave mode a

power setting and time have been entered,

– if operating with a combination pro-

gramme, the following have been entered: a power setting, a time, a time for the microwave mode and a temperature for the normal oven operating mode.

– if operating with an Automatic pro-

gramme the weight has been entered.

Problem solving guide

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

Check whether the oven interior lighting has been switched off, (see Section on choosing oven with or without interior lighting).

If this is not the case, the halogen bulb needs replacing. Change for a new one as follows:

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

Loosen and remove the lamp covers

(1.). This may be easier using a rub-

ber glove.

Take out the halogen lamps (2.).

Fit new halogen lamps. Connection data for halogen lamps:

12 V, 10 W, temperature resistant up to 300 °C, W271 socket, Osram, Type 64418

The wires must lie horizontally to the appliance. Push the lamps in until they engage.

Screw the lamp cover back on.

Reconnect the appliance to the

mains supply.

Problem solving guide

. . . no operating noise is heard when the appliance door is opened during a cooking process in normal oven mode

This is not a fault. If the door is opened during a cooking process the door contact switch will switch off the heating and depending on the function chosen, the hot air fan.

. . . a noise is heard after a process has finished

This is not a fault. The cooling fan continues to run for a short time. When the temperature has fallen sufficiently the fan switches off automatically.

If the door is opened during this run-on time the fan is switched off. If the door is then shut the fan will start again.

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

Check whether:

– the cooking process has been inter-

rupted and the microwave function did not re-start,

– if cooking / reheating in microwave

mode the correct time was selected for the setting chosen. A lower power setting normally requires a longer time.

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

Check whether: – the correct temperature was set. – there has been a change to the

recipe. The addition of more liquid or

more eggs makes a moister mix

which would take longer to cook. – whether the grease filter had been

left in place. A longer time would be

needed if this were the case.

. . . cakes or biscuits are unevenly browned

There will always be a degree of difference in browning.

If browning is very uneven, check: – whether the temperature was set too

high, – whether the glass tray had been

pushed so far in that it touched the

back wall, – whether the grease filter had been

left in place on the back wall, – the colour and composition of the

baking tins being used. Light col-

oured, shiny or thin-walled tins may

be less suitable.

Problem solving guide

. . . 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. During standing time heat is transferred to 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.

. . . the minute minder does not work

The short time programmed for the minute minder can only start counting down when the appliance door is shut and the Start touch control has been pressed.

. . . the touch control for the short step system will not register.

Check whether – microwave mode has been selected. – the time entered is less than 10

minutes. A time of more than 10

minutes cannot be stored.

. . . 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 Section on suitable crockery).

– the food is covered with aluminium

foil. If so, remove it.

. . . a programme can not be stored using “M”.

Check whether – microwave mode has been selected, – a power setting and time have been

entered.

. . . the required time for a MemoryProgramme can not be set

Check whether – the total of the times entered for all

the Memory-Programmes with a

power setting of 1200 W adds up to

more than 10 minutes. – the total of the times entered for all

the Memory-Programmes with a

power setting of 850 W adds up to

more than 60 minutes.

Problem solving guide

. . . An “F” appears in the display field together with a number

This combination indicates a fault message.

The fault message “F02” appears when the door is opened and at the same time the Start touch control is pressed.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply (switch off and remove the plug from the socket, or switch off at the isolator, and then reconnect

immediately. The Fault message disappears. If the fault message remains in the dis-

play field, or reappears after Start is pressed in, call the Service department.

If an F in combination with any other

number appears e.g. “F10", ”F11", “F12",

call the Service department.

Inform customer service of the fault code displayed.
