Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.
Correct application
The microwave combination oven is intended for domestic use only: to cook food, and in particular to defrost, reheat, cook, bake, roast and to grill. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.
Never use the appliance to store or dry items which could ignite easily. Moisture evaporates. Fire hazard.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it correctly by a person responsible for their safety.
Safety with children
Keep children away from the microwave combination oven at all times. It is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow them to play with it or to play with the controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.
Older children may only use the microwave combination oven when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
Great care should be taken to ensure that small children do not touch the appliance when it is being used. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent become quite hot.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Installation, maintenance and repairs should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person 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 installation, maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Before installation, check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install or attempt to 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 casing, 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 current 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).
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a competent person if in doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead or a multi-socket unit. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in.
Never open the casing 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 guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Correct use
Caution. Danger of burning.
The oven interior will become very hot when operating with functions which do not use microwave power and also combination programmes which do use microwave power.
Use oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
Take great care not to come in contact with the upper heating / grill element when using the Grill , Fan plus , Fan grill , Microwave+Grill , Microwave+Fan grill functions as it becomes extremely hot.
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele approved service technician.
This appliance may only be used in mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
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 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.
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 functions which use 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.
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 oven. Pressure can build up and they may explode, resulting in injury or damage.
If smoke occurs in the oven, to avoid fuelling any flame do not open the door. 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.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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, as this will prevent it from drying out.
Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven could catch fire.
Do not lean or sit on an open door, or place heavy items on it. This could damage the appliance. The door can support a maximum load of 8 kg.
Do not use full power to warm empty dishes or to dry out herbs. Do not use the appliance 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.
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. Always ensure that this type of procedure is supervised.
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 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.
This is particularly important when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby. When heating 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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be loosened. Otherwise pressure builds up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.
When heating liquids using microwave power, the boiling rod provided should always be placed into the container.
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.
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that bubbles form at an early stage during the operation.
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 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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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 power only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode. Danger of inury.
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.
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 thermometer containing mercury or liquid, as these are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and will break very easily.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance 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. Please do
not therefore dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. 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.

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 |
|
over-use 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. |

Functions
Microwave
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 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.
18
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.
19
Before using for the first time
The controls which may be pushed in when the microwave combination oven is delivered need to be released before it can be used.
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,
–and "I2:00" and triangle underneath the symbol will start flashing.
I2:00
Use the or sensors to enter the hour first of all.
Touch the OK sensor.
This confirms the hour and the minutes will then start to flash.
Now use the or sensors to enter the minutes.
Touch the OK sensor.
This confirms the minutes.
The time of day you have selected has now been entered.
After a power failure the current time-of-day starts flashing.
To confirm the time-of-day:
Touch the OK sensor.
The appliance will store this time for approx. 24 hours. After 24 hours it will show "12:00" and will need to be re-set.
Changing the time of day
Touch the OK sensor twice.
Use the or sensors to enter the hour first of all.
Touch the OK sensor.
Now use the or sensors to enter the minutes.
Touch the OK sensor.
The time of day has been changed.
20
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 compartment 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 times - to switch a programme off automatically").
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.
