7
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct application
This oven is designed for domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts
and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/
shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed
& breakfasts.
The oven is not suitable for outdoor use.
The oven is intended only to cook, bake, roast, grill, defrost, bottle
and reheat food.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk.
Do not use the oven to store or dry items which could ignite
easily.
If such items were dried in the oven, the moisture in the item would
evaporate causing it to dry out and even self-ignite.
This oven 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 given instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.
They must be able to recognise the dangers of misuse.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Children should be supervised near the appliance. Ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves
in packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of
suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material.
Danger of burning! Children's skin is far more sensitive to high
temperatures than that of adults. Great care should be taken to
ensure that children do not touch the appliance when it is being
used. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, control
panel and the vents become quite hot.
Danger of injury! The maximum load capacity for the door is 8 kg.
Children can hurt themselves on an open door.
Ensure that children do not sit on or swing on the door.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use 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.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. 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.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure
that the rating on the data plate (voltage and frequency) corresponds
to that of the household supply.
This data must correspond in order to avoid risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has
been built in.
This oven must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
If the oven is delivered without a mains connection cable, or if the
mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician (see "Electrical connection") in
order to avoid a hazard.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply, e.g. if the
oven lighting is faulty (see "Problem solving guide").It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn
from the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the
mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains
electricity supply.
For the oven to function correctly, it requires a sufficient intake of
cool air. Ensure the intake of cool air to the oven is not impaired (e.g.
due to the installation of insulation material inside the housing unit).
Furthermore, the incoming cool air must not be excessively heated
by other heat sources (e.g. fuel furnaces).
If the oven is installed behind a furniture door, do not close the
door while the oven is in operation. Heat and moisture would build
up behind a closed furniture door, potentially causing damage to the
oven, the furniture unit and the flooring. Wait until the oven has
cooled down completely before closing the furniture door.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Danger of burning!
The oven becomes hot when in use.
Depending on the function being used, you could burn yourself on
the heating elements, oven interior, cooked food or oven
accessories.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or
removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
Do not use the oven to heat up the room.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
appliance could catch fire.
Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. Do not use the oven for
deep fat frying.
Never use water to extinguish ignited oil or fat. Switch the oven off
immediately and then suffocate the flames by keeping the oven door
closed.
Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively
long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could
even cause it to catch fire.
Make sure you keep to recommended grilling times when using the
grill. Do not use Microwave Solo for drying items such as
flowers, herbs, bread or rolls. Never use functions with the grill for
drying flowers or herbs. Use Fan Plus for these procedures and
monitor the process carefully.
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.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
When using residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the high
humidity and amount of condensation in the oven can cause
corrosion in the oven. The control panel, the worktop or the housing
unit can also suffer damage.
Always cover food when using the Microwave Solo function.
Once food is cooked through, use a lower power level for continued
cooking to reduce the amount of steam produced from the food.
When using residual heat, do not switch the oven off. Instead set the
temperature to the lowest setting and leave the oven on the selected
function. The fan will then remain on automatically and dissipate the
moisture.
Food which is stored in the oven or left in it to be kept warm can
dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in
the oven.
Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm.
A build-up of heat can cause damage to the enamel on the floor
of the oven.
When using Fan Plus do not line the floor of the oven with
anything, e.g. aluminium foil or so-called protective liners. Neither
should you place roasting pans or glass trays directly on the oven
floor.
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 observing a sufficiently long standing
time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking,
reheating or defrosting.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
When heating food and drinks using microwave power, 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.
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.
The 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 from the appliance.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed.
Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or
container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.
When boiling and in particular when re-heating liquids, milk,
sauces etc., using microwave power without a 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 socalled '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 scalding
and burning! The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the
pressure forces the oven door open, with a danger of injury and
damage.
Before cooking or reheating, thoroughly stir the liquid. Then wait at
least 20 seconds before removing the container from the oven.
During cooking and reheating you can also place a glass rod or
similar in the container and use as a boiling rod, if available.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven.
They can only be cooked in their shells using microwave heat in a
specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist
shops. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated in the microwave
oven either as they too will explode, even after taking them out of
the oven.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages,
jacket potatoes and eggplants, should be pierced or cut in several
places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.
To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process.
Only use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to
measure the temperature of the food. Do not use a thermometer
containing mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use with
very high temperatures and break very easily.
Do not use the oven to heat up cushions or pads filled with cherry
kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such as those used in
aromatherapy.
These pads can ignite when heated even after they have been
removed from the oven.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching the
appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do
not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow
recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If
the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used.
However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the
oven.
Fire hazard! Using Microwave Solo or Microwave combination
programmes with plastic dishes which are not microwave safe can
cause them to melt and damage the appliance.
Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper
covered wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots
with the foil lid only partially removed (see "Suitable containers for
microwave use").
For functions without microwave power: plastic containers which
are not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and
can even damage the oven or catch fire. Only use containers which
are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an
oven. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on use.
Do not leave the microwave 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 "Containers suitable for microwave
use - Plastics").
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.
16
Warning and Safety instructions
The oven can suffer damage when using Microwave Solo or
Microwave combination programmes if it is empty or incorrectly
loaded.
For this reason, please do not use functions with microwave power
to pre-heat crockery or to dry herbs.
Instead use Fan Plus for these procedures.
Do not use the appliance to heat up or bottle food in sealed jars
and tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing
damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.
Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may
trip over it or be injured by it.
The oven door can support a maximum load of 8 kg. Do not lean
or sit on an open oven door, or place heavy items on it. Also make
sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven
cavity. This could damage the oven.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
17
Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this oven.
Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause
a short circuit.
Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean the door glass.
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.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
18
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. 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.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
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.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

Oven safety features
System lock
The system lock prevents the oven from
being used unintentionally (see
"Settings - System lock ").
The system lock will remain activated
even after an interruption to the power
supply.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on automatically
when a cooking programme is started.
The cooling fan mixes hot air from the
oven cavity with cool room air before
venting it out into the kitchen through
vents located between the appliance
door and the control panel.
The cooling fan will continue to run for
a while after a cooking process to
prevent moisture building up in the
oven, on the control panel or on the
oven housing unit. It will switch itself off
automatically after a while.
Safety switch-off
A function without microwave can be
started without selecting a cooking
duration. To prevent overuse and the
consequent danger of fire, the oven will
switch itself off automatically after a
certain length of time. This can be
between 1 hour and 12 hours
depending on the function and
temperature chosen.
If a Microwave combination
programme is followed in quick
succession by another programme
using microwave power, the magnetron
(which produces the microwaves)
cannot be switched on again until
approx. 10 seconds have elapsed.
Therefore, wait a short while before
starting the second process.

How the microwave function works
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 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 cause sparking as the
microwaves cannot be absorbed.
Microwaves pass through a suitable
container and find their way directly into
the food. All food contains moisture
molecules which, when subjected to
microwave energy, start to oscillate
2.5 billion times a second. The friction
caused by this vibration creates heat,
which first starts developing around the
outside of the food and then slowly
penetrates towards the centre. The
moisture, fat and sugar content of food
will affect the speed at which it is
cooked. The heat is generated in the
food itself.
Advantages
– Food can generally be cooked
without adding much liquid or
cooking oil.
– Cooking, reheating and defrosting is
quicker than using conventional
methods.
– Nutrients, such as vitamins and
minerals, are generally retained.
– The colour, texture and taste of food
are not significantly impaired.
Microwaves stop being produced as
soon as the cooking process is
interrupted or the appliance door is
opened. When the appliance is in
operation, the closed, sealed door
prevents microwaves escaping from
the appliance.
Microwave power
The following power levels can be
selected:
80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W,
850 W, 1000 W

Selecting containers for microwave use
Fire hazard! Non-microwave safe
dishes can suffer damage or
damage the oven if used with
Microwave Solo or Microwave
combination programmes.
The material and shape of the
containers used affect cooking results
Microwaves are reflected by metal.
They pass through glass, porcelain,
plastic and cardboard.
and times.
Heat distribution is more even in round
and oval shaped flat containers than in
rectangular containers, providing better
results.
Suitable containers for microwave use
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.
Exception: Do not use crystal glass
as it contains lead which can crack
or shatter with microwave power.
They are absorbed by food.
54
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
Exception: Do not use porcelain with
gold or silver edging, cobalt blue, or
items with hollow knobs or handles,
as insufficient ventilation may cause
a build-up of pressure.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Danger of burning! Wear oven gloves
when removing earthenware dishes
from the oven.
Selecting containers for microwave use
Plastics
Plastic containers and plastic
disposable containers may only be
used with Microwave Solo if they
have been declared as suitable for
microwave use by the manufacturer. To
protect the environment, it is best to
avoid using single-use containers.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when reheating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials.
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 110 °C. Otherwise the
plastic may melt and fuse with the
food.
Only use plastic containers in
Microwave Solo programmes,
not in combination programmes.
– Plastic microwave containers
These are readily available from retail
outlets.
– Styrofoam containers
Styrofoam containers can be used for
short, timed warming and reheating of
food.
– Plastic "Boil-in-the-bag" bags
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.
There are also special steaming bags
available which do not need to be
pierced. Please follow instructions
given on the packet.
– Roasting bags and tubes
Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions when using roasting bags
and tubes.
Fire hazard!
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
containing metal parts, or paper ties
containing wire. There is a danger
that they will ignite when heated.
– Melamine containers
Melamine is not suitable for use in this
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave
energy and gets hot. When purchasing
plasticware, make sure that it is suitable
for use in a microwave oven.
55
Selecting containers for microwave use
Unsuitable containers for microwave use
Dishes with hollow knobs or
handles are not suitable for use with
microwave power. Moisture which
has gathered in the hollow recesses
can cause pressure to build up and
the item can explode. If the hollow
recess is sufficiently ventilated, the
item could be used. However, we
recommend that you do not use
such dishes in the oven.
Metal
Metal reflects microwaves and
obstructs the cooking process.
Do not use metal containers,
aluminium, foil, metal cutlery and china
with metallic decoration such as gold
rims or cobalt blue with Microwave
combination programmes.
Do not use containers where the foil
lid has not been completely removed
as small pieces of foil can cause
sparking.
Exceptions:
The rack supplied can be used with
microwave combination programmes
or with oven functions without
microwave power. However, it is not
suitable for use with the Microwave
Solo function.
Do not place the rack directly on the
floor of the oven. Instead, use one of
the oven shelves.
– Metal bakeware can be used with
Microwave combination
programmes.
– Ready-meals in aluminium foil trays
can be defrosted and reheated in the
oven as long as the lid is removed.
When using foil trays there is a risk
of arcing or sparks occurring in the
oven. For this reason, place the foil
tray on the glass tray and not on the
rack.
The foil tray must be at least 2 cm
away from the oven walls. It must
not touch them.
56
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 use in
a microwave oven. The heat
distribution will be more even.
Selecting containers for microwave use
– Aluminium foil pieces
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
wingtips or other thin parts for the last
few minutes of the programme.
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
These should only be used if they are
very small in comparison to the size of
the cut of meat.
Glazes and colours
Some glazes and colours contain metal
and are therefore unsuitable for
microwave functions.
Wood
Wooden dishes are not suitable.
Moisture contained in the wood
evaporates when exposed to
microwave energy, causing the wood to
dry and crack.
Testing dishes for their suitability
If in doubt as to whether glass,
earthenware or porcelain plates or
dishes are suitable for use with
microwave energy, a simple test can be
performed:
Place the container in the middle of
the glass tray and slide the tray into
shelf level 1.
Close the door.
Select Microwave Solo .
Set the highest power level (1000 W)
and a duration of 30 seconds.
Confirm with OK and start the
process.
If a cracking noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
test, switch the appliance off
immediately. Any crockery which
causes this reaction is unsuitable for
use with microwave power. If any
doubt exists about the suitability of a
container, please contact the
supplier.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
57
Selecting containers for microwave use
Placing the dish in the oven
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1.
The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the
glass tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
Cover
The cover:
– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
– speeds up the reheating process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven interior clean.
58
When using Microwave Solo ,
always cover the food with a lid or
cover made of microwave safe glass
or plastic.
These are available from retail outlets.
Alternatively, use a clingfilm
recommended for use in a microwave
oven (pierce as instructed by the
manufacturer). Heat can cause normal
clingfilm to distort and fuse with the
food.
Selecting containers for microwave use
The cover can only withstand
temperatures up to 110 °C. Higher
temperatures (e.g. those used for
grilling and Fan Plus) can cause the
plastic to distort and fuse with the
food. The cover should only be used
with Microwave Solo .
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the cover is
used with a container which only has
a narrow diameter, there might not
be enough room for condensation to
escape through the holes in the top.
The cover could get too hot and
could start to melt.
Do not use the cover if:
– cooking breaded food,
– cooking food which requires a crisp
finish,
– cooking food with a Microwave
combination programme.
Pressure can build up when
reheating in sealed containers, jars
or bottles, causing them to explode.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be removed.
59
Tips on saving energy
– Remove any accessories from the
oven that you do not require for
cooking.
– Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to
do so in the recipe or the cooking
chart.
– If possible, do not open the door
during a programme. If the door is
opened during a programme that is
not using microwave power, the heat
in the oven automatically switches
off. The fan continues to operate. As
soon as the door is closed again, the
programme will continue.
– In general, if a range of temperatures
is given, it is best to select the lower
temperature and to check the food
after the shortest given time.
– Use Fan Plus as you can cook at
temperatures 10–30 °C lower than
when using other functions.
– Fan Grill can be used for a wide
variety of food. With Fan Grill you can
use lower temperatures than with
other grill functions which use the
maximum temperature setting.
– Your oven will use as little energy as
possible if you set the time of day
display to Time – Show – Off.
– With the factory default setting
Lighting – On for 15 seconds the oven
interior lighting switches off
automatically after 15 seconds. It can
be switched on again at any time by
touching .
– The oven heating will switch off
automatically shortly before the end
of a cooking process for which an
automatic switch-off time has been
set. Cooking continues using residual
heat. The heat in the oven is
sufficient to complete the cooking
process. Energy save phase will
appear in the display. The cooling fan
and, depending on the function
selected, also the hot air fan remain
switched on.
– The oven will switch itself off
automatically to save energy if no
other action is taken within a certain
time frame after switching it on or
after the end of a cooking
programme. The time when this
happens will depend on the selected
settings (function, temperature and
duration).

– Some programmes require a pre-
heating phase before food is placed
in the oven. A prompt will appear to
tell you when to add the food.
– The duration quoted for Automatic
programmes is an estimate. It may
increase or decrease depending on
the programme. The duration, in
particular with meat, will vary
depending on the initial temperature
of the food.

86
Baking
Eating food which has been cooked
correctly is important for preventing
food poisoning or other ailments.
Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc.
until they are golden brown. Do not
overcook them.
Oven functions
Fan Plus
Ideal for baking biscuits, sponges,
choux pastry, puff pastry and filo
pastry.
MW + Fan Plus
Suitable for dough which requires
longer baking, such as rubbed in and
beaten mixtures and yeast recipes.
The baking duration is shortened..
During baking the microwave power
level must not exceed 150 W.
Bakeware
The choice of bakeware depends on
the oven function and how the food is
prepared.
– Fan Plus :
Bakeware made of any heat-resistant
material is suitable. Light-coloured,
thin-walled, non-reflective metal tins
can be used, but results may not be
as good as with dark non-reflective
tins.
– MW + Fan Plus :
Only use ovenproof dishes suitable
for microwave use (see "Suitable
containers for microwave use"), such
as ovenproof glass or ceramic dishes
as these allow microwaves through
them.
Metal containers reflect microwaves
so food will only cook from above.
Cooking durations would therefore
be longer and metal tins could also
cause sparking. Place the dish on the
glass tray such that it cannot touch
the oven walls. If the dish being used
causes sparking, do not use it for
combination cooking again.
Baking paper
Place chips, croquette potatoes and
similar types of food on baking paper.
87
Baking
Baking charts
In the charts the data for the
recommended function is printed in
bold.
Unless otherwise stated, the times
given are for an oven which has not
been pre-heated. With a pre-heated
oven, shorten times by up to 10
minutes.
Temperature
As a general rule, select a temperature
in the middle of those given in the
chart.
Baking at temperatures higher than
those recommended may reduce the
cooking time, but will lead to uneven
browning, and unsatisfactory cooking
results.
Baking duration
Check if the food is cooked at the end
of the shortest time quoted. To check if
a cake is ready, insert a wooden
skewer into the centre. It is ready if the
skewer comes out clean, without dough
or crumbs sticking to it.
Shelf levels
– Fan Plus
Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1
Flat items (e.g. biscuits, tray bakes):
Shelf level 2
Baking on two levels at once
(depending on the height of the items
to be baked):
Shelf levels 1+3 or 2+3
– MW + Fan Plus
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1
and place the baking container on it.
Useful tips
– Set the cooking duration. When
baking, the oven should not be set to
start a long time off. Otherwise the
cake mixture or dough will dry out,
and the raising agents will lose their
effectiveness.
– Place cakes in rectangular tins on the
rack with the longer side across the
width of the oven for optimum heat
distribution and even results.

Roasting
Oven functions
Fan Plus , Auto Roast
For roasting meat, fish and poultry that
needs to be well-browned.
MW + Fan Plus ,
MW + Auto Roast
The programme duration is shorter with
these functions.
The following microwave power levels
should be used throughout roasting:
– For meat and fish: max. 300 W.
– For poultry: 150 W.
This combination programme is not
suitable for cooking delicate cuts of
meat such as roast beef or fillet steak.
The centre would be too well cooked
before the exterior is browned.
Cooking containers
Please take into account the material of
your cookware in your choice of oven
function:
Pot roasting
We recommend roasting in covered
oven dishes. Meat will be tender and
there will be sufficient stock for making
gravy. The oven also stays cleaner than
when roasting on the rack.
Season the meat and place it in the
roasting dish. Dot with butter or
margarine or brush with oil if
necessary. For large lean cuts of
meat (2–3 kg) and fatty poultry, add
about 1/8 litre of water to the dish.
When using a roasting bag, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
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 during
cooking as this will hinder the
browning process.
– Fan Plus / Auto Roast :
Gourmet oven dishes, ovenproof
ceramic dishes and glass dishes.
Make sure that the dish and lid have
heat-resistant handles.
– MW + Fan Plus / MW + Auto
Roast :
Dishes must be suitable for use in a
microwave oven and must not have
metal lids (see "Suitable containers
for microwave use").
91
Roasting
Useful tips
– Browning: Browning only occurs
towards the end of the roasting time.
If cooking with a roasting dish,
remove the lid about halfway through
the roasting time if a more intensive
browning result is desired.
– Standing time: At the end of the
programme, take the roast out of the
oven, wrap in aluminium foil and
leave to stand for about 10minutes.
This helps retain juices when the
meat is carved.
– Roasting poultry: For a crisp skin,
baste the poultry 10 minutes before
the end of the cooking time with
slightly salted water.
92
Roasting
Roasting charts
Unless otherwise stated, the durations
given are for an oven which has not
been pre-heated.
Please observe the temperature range,
the microwave power level, the shelf
levels and the durations. These also
take the type of cooking container, the
size of the meat and cooking practices
into account.
Temperature
As a general rule, select a temperature
in the middle of those given in the
chart.
If higher temperatures are used, the
meat will brown on the outside, but will
not be properly cooked through.
For cuts which weigh more than 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.
When roasting on the rack, set a
temperature approx. 20 °C lower than
for roasting in a covered oven dish.
Pre-heating
Pre-heating is only required when
roasting beef sirloin joints and fillets.
Roasting duration
The roasting time can be determined by
multiplying the thickness of the roast
[cm] with the time per cm [min./cm]
stated below, depending on the type of
meat:
– Beef/Venison: 15–18 min./cm
– Pork/Veal/Lamb: 12–15 min./cm
– Sirloin joints/Fillets: 8–10 min./cm
Roasting times are approx. 20 minutes
longer per kilo for frozen meat. Frozen
meat weighing less than approx. 1.5 kg
does not need to be defrosted before
roasting.
Check if the meat is cooked after the
shortest time quoted.

Grilling
Danger of burning!
Grill with the oven door closed. If
you grill with the door open, hot air
will escape from the oven instead of
being cooled by the cooling fan.
The controls will get hot.
Oven functions
Grill
For grilling and toasting bread, open
sandwiches etc. and browning baked
dishes.
The whole of the top heat/grill element
will get hot and glow red.
Fan Grill
For grilling thicker items, e.g. rolled
meat, poultry pieces.
The top heat/grill element and fan are
switched on alternately.
MW + Grill , MW + Fan Grill
The grilling duration is shorter.
Cooking containers
Grill on the rack.
Brush the rack with oil, and place the
food on it. It is best to grill food of a
similar thickness at the same time so
that the grilling duration for each item
does not vary too greatly.
Preparing food for grilling
Rinse meat under cold running water
and then pat dry. Do not season meat
with salt before grilling as this draws
the juices out.
Add a little oil to lean meat if necessary.
Do not use other types of fat as they
can burn and cause smoke.
Clean fish in the normal way. To
enhance the flavour, add a little salt or
squeeze a little lemon juice over the
fish.
A microwave power level of maximum
300 W can be set for a Microwave
combination programme.
96

Danger of burning!
Wear oven gloves when placing food
in the oven or removing it and when
adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot
oven.
Place the food on the appropriate
shelf level (see Fan Grilling guide).
Close the door.
Turn the food halfway through grilling
if you want both sides to be brown.
Grilling chart
Check the food after the shortest time
quoted.
Take note of the temperature range, the
shelf levels and the durations. These
take the size of the meat and cooking
practices into account.
Grill setting (Grill , MW + Grill )
– Setting 3: Thinner foods are cooked
quickly when placed close to the grill
element on this setting.
– Setting 2: For a lighter, golden finish,
e.g. on gratins and bakes.
– Setting 1: Thicker foods should be
grilled further from the grill on this
setting.
Temperature (Fan Grill ,
MW + Fan Grill )
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart. If higher
temperatures are used, the meat will
brown on the outside but will not be
properly cooked through. Thin cuts can
generally be grilled at 220 °C, thicker
cuts at 180–200 °C.
97
Grilling
Pre-heating
Always pre-heat the top heat/grill
element for approx. 5 minutes with the
door closed.
Do not set a microwave power level
during pre-heating.
Shelf levels
– Grill , MW + Grill :
Use shelf level 2 or 3 depending on
the height of the food.
– Fan Grill , MW + Fan Grill :
Use shelf level 1 or 2 depending on
the height of the food.
Grilling duration
– Flat pieces of fish and meat usually
take 6–8 minutes per side. It is best
to grill food of a similar thickness at
the same time so that the grilling
duration for each item does not vary
too greatly.
Testing to see if cooked
One way of finding out how far through
a piece of meat has been cooked is to
press down on it with a spoon:
Rare: If there is very little
resistance to the pressure
of the spoon, it will still be
red on the inside.
Medium: If there is some resistance,
the inside will be pink
Well-done: If there is great resistance,
it is cooked through.
Check if the meat is cooked after the
shortest time quoted.
Useful tip: If the surface of thicker cuts
of meat is cooked but the centre is still
raw, continue grilling at a lower
temperature setting or use a lower shelf
level to allow the food to cook through
to the centre.
– Thicker pieces need about 7–
9 minutes.
– With rolled meat, allow approx.
10 minutes per cm diameter.
98
Grilling
Fan Grill
– Use the Fan Grill function for meat, fish, poultry and vegetables.
– Always pre-heat for at least 5 minutes before Fan Grilling.
– It is not necessary to turn food when Fan Grilling. Only one side of the food,
however, will become brown.
– The door must be closed when using Fan Grill .
– When using red meat, pat the meat dry before Fan Grilling as this encourages a
richer colour.
All temperatures are approximations and must be varied according to the
thickness and preparation of the meat. The chart below is a suggested guide
only. Personal taste and size of serves will vary times and temperatures. We
recommend you monitor cooking results for best outcomes.
