8
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct application
This oven is intended for use in domestic households and similar
~
working and residential environments.
The oven is not intended for outdoor use.
~
It is intended for domestic use only to cook food, and in particular
~
to bake, roast, grill, cook, reheat, defrost and dry food.
Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
Do not use the microwave combination oven to store or dry items
~
which could ignite easily.
If such items were dried in the microwave oven, the moisture in the
item would evaporate causing it to dry out and even self-ignite.
People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
~
lack of experience or knowledge who are not able to use the
appliance safely on their own must be supervised whilst using it.
They may only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how to
use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
~
appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the oven unsupervised if
~
they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and
understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
~
unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the oven and do not let
~
them play with it.
Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must
~
be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing,
children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their
head and suffocate.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Danger of burning.
~
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 vents become quite hot during use. Do not let
children touch the oven whilst it is in use.
Danger of injury
~
The oven door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg. Do not let
children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
~
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Never use a damaged oven. It could be dangerous. Check it for
~
visible signs of damage before using it.
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 correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
To avoid the risk of damage to the oven, make sure that the
~
connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply before connecting the oven to the
mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in 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 (fire hazard).
12
Warning and Safety instructions
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
~
been built in.
The oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
~
ship).
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
~
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Never open the casing of the appliance.
While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be
~
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
~
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
If the connection cable is damaged or if the oven is supplied
~
without a cable, it must be replaced or fitted with a special
connection cable by a Miele authorised technician (see "Electrical
connection").
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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" and "Electrical
connection").
In order to function correctly, the oven requires an adequate
~
supply of cool air. Ensure that the supply of cool air is not impaired
(e.g. by heat insulation strips in the housing unit). Please also ensure
that the cool air supply is not unduly heated by other heat sources
such as a solid fuel stove.
If the oven is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),
~
ensure that the door is never closed whilst the oven is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and
cause subsequent damage to the oven, the housing unit and the
floor. Do not close the door until the oven has cooled down
completely.
14
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.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven
~
when it is in use could start to burn.
Do not use the oven to heat up the room.
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.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
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 bake-off
products such as bread or bread rolls, or for drying flowers or herbs.
Use Fan plus U for these procedures and monitor the process
carefully.
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 Microwave solo _ function. Once
food is cooked through, use a lower power 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.
16
Warning and Safety instructions
A build-up of heat can cause damage to the enamel on the floor
~
of the oven.
When using Conventional heat V, Bottom heat X, Intensive
bake O or Fan plus U 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.
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.
Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and
then always check the temperature of the food after taking it out of
the microwave 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.
17
Warning and Safety instructions
When boiling and in particular when heating up liquid using
~
microwave power, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached
with 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. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.
Stir liquid before cooking/heating it up. After heating it up wait for at
least 20 seconds before removing the container from the oven.
Placing a suitable glass rod or utensil in the container whilst heating
liquid up can also help prevent it from boiling over.
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.
18
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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. 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.
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
microwave oven.
19
Warning and Safety instructions
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
"Suitable containers for microwave ovens".
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.
The oven can suffer damage when using Microwave solo _ or
~
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 U or Conventional heat V.
Do not bottle or heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or
~
sealed jars in the oven, as pressure will build up in the container,
causing it to explode.
20
Warning and Safety instructions
You could injure yourself on the open oven door or trip over it.
~
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
The door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg.
~
Do not sit on or lean against an open door, and do not place heavy
objects on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between
the door and the oven cavity. The oven could get damaged.
21
Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
~
The steam could reach 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
Only use genuine original Miele accessories. Using accessories
~
from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is
~
faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food
probe.
22
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also 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. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.
