8
Warning and Safety instructions
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 the rack etc. in a hot
oven.
The top heat/grill element gets very hot
when the oven is being used on the
Conventional, Grill, Fan grill, MW+Grill
and MW+Fan grill functions. Danger of
burning.
Plastic containers must ony be used
~
with Microwave Solo. These melt at
high temperatures and if used with any
other function, the appliance could be
damaged 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 microorganisms 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.
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.
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
the grill to heat and crisp up rolls or
bread, or to dry flowers, herbs, grain
etc.
Use the Fan plus function for these
types of procedure and do not leave
the oven unattended.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Never cover the floor of the oven
~
with aluminium foil when using the oven
on the Conventional, Bottom heat,
Intensive bake and Fan plus functions.
Never place a cooking container or the
glass tray directly on the floor of the
oven. The resulting build-up of heat can
damage the oven.
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.
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 oven on the
function set and select the lowest
temperature, to avoid a build-up of
condensate.
– 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.
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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
When heating liquids using
~
microwave power, the boiling rod
provided should always be placed in
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.
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 appliance
~
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".
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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 injury.
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 the temperature of the
~
food, 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 original
~
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.
Only use the special Miele food
~
probe for this microwave combi oven.
If the food probe breaks, it must be
replaced by an original Miele food
probe. If a replacement is necessary, it
can be obtained from the Miele or your
Miele dealer.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.
13
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which

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 levels
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 programme is
interrupted or the appliance door is
opened.
