Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with statutory safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance.

Miele cannot be held liable for non-compliance with these instructions.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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").

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Features

Miele microfibre cloth

Light soiling and fingerprints can be easily removed with the microfibre cloth.

Miele oven cleaner

Miele oven cleaner is suitable for removing very stubborn soiling. It is not necessary to pre-heat the oven beforehand.

Features

Oven controls

In addition to operating the various cooking functions for baking, roasting and grilling, the oven controls are also used to operate

the time of day display,

–

a minute minder,

–

a timer to automatically switch

–

cooking programmes on and off,

Automatic programmes,

–

create User programmes,

–

– settings that can be customised.

Safety features

System lock 0

The system lock prevents the oven from being used unintentionally (see "Settings - System lock 0").

The system lock will remain activated even after an interruption to the power supply.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan will come 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 over-use 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 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.

Features

PerfectClean treated surfaces

PerfectClean surfaces have very good non-stick properties and are much easier to keep clean than conventional enamel surfaces, if cleaned regularly.

Food can be taken off these surfaces easily, and soiling from baking and roasting is simple to remove.

Food can be sliced or cut up on PerfectClean surfaces.

However, do not use ceramic knives as these will scratch the PerfectClean surface.

Surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel can be cleaned as you would clean glass.

Read the instructions in "Cleaning and care" so that the benefits of the non-stick properties and easy cleaning are retained.

The oven compartment and the rack have a PerfectClean finish.

Overview of functions

Your oven has a range of oven functions for preparing food.

Functions which do not use microwave energy

Fan plus U

This function is used for baking and roasting on different levels at the same time. A lower temperature can be selected than when using Conventional heat V, as the fan distributes the heat to the food straight away.

Auto roast [

This is used for roasting at a high temperature and continued cooking at a lower temperature. During the searing phase the oven heats up to a high temperature (230 °C) to seal the meat and keep it succulent and tasty. As soon as this temperature has been reached, the oven temperature automatically drops back down to the pre-selected temperature for continued roasting.

Intensive bake O

For baking cakes with moist toppings. Intensive bake is not suitable for baking thin biscuits or for roasting as the juices will become too dark.

Conventional heat V

For baking and roasting traditional recipes, preparing soufflés and cooking at low temperatures.

If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven temperature for Conventional heat 10 °C lower than that recommended. This will not change cooking times.

Bottom heat X

Use this setting towards the end of cooking to brown the base of a cake, quiche or pizza.

Gentle bake K

Ideal for cooking bakes and gratins that need to be crispy on top.

Grill Y

For grilling thin cuts (e.g. steaks) and browning baked dishes.

Fan grill \

For grilling thicker cuts of meat (e. g. roulades, chicken). Lower temperatures can be used than when using the Grill Y function, as the fan distributes the heat to the food straight away.

Overview of functions

Microwave solo _

This function is used to rapidly defrost, reheat and cook food

Microwave combination programmes

With Microwave combination programmes the heating element and the magnetron switch on and off alternating one after the other. The heating element browns the food and the magnetron helps it cook quickly.

A maximum microwave power level of 300 W can be used with Microwave combination programmes.

MW + Fan plus a

For rapid reheating and cooking of food, browning it at the same time. This combination programme saves the most time and energy.

MW + Auto roast L

MW + Grill b

For grilling thin cuts (e.g. steaks) and browning baked dishes.

The grilling duration is shorter.

MW + Fan grill M

For grilling larger items, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.

The grilling duration is shorter.

When baking do not set the microwave power higher than 150 W.

Microwave power

How it works

In a microwave combination 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 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. 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 thousand million 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 more water a food contains, the quicker it is to reheat or cook.

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

–

quicker than using conventional methods.

nutrients, such as vitamins and

–

minerals, are generally retained.

the colour, texture and taste of food

–

are not 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.

Power levels

The following power levels can be selected: 80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W, 850 W, 1000 W

Suitable containers for microwave use

Microwaves are reflected by metal,

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 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

pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and card,

and are absorbed by food.

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use with microwave power.

Exception: Do not use crystal glass as it contains lead which can crack or shatter in a microwave oven.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a suitable material.

Exception: Do not use porcelain with gold or silver edging or items with hollow knobs or handles, as insufficient ventilation may cause a build-up of pressure.

Suitable containers for microwave use

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.

Plastics

Plastic containers and plastic disposable containers may only be used for 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.

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.

Plastic containers must only be used with Microwave solo _. They must not be used with Microwave combination programmes. They must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 110 °C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food.

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.

Suitable containers for microwave use

Unsuitable

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.

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 Microwave solo _. 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 using microwave power 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.

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.

Suitable containers for microwave use

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

–

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.

^ Start the programme.

At the end of the test, the water in the glass should be hot and the dish cool. If the dish is hot, it would be unwise to use the dish. If a cracking noise is heard accompanied by sparks during the test, switch the appliance off imme diately. 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.

Suitable 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

A cover:

prevents too much steam escaping,

–

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

speeds up the cooking process.

–

prevents food from drying out.

–

helps keep the oven interior clean.

–

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.

Suitable containers for microwave use

Do not use a cover if:

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 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 builds up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.

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 fans continue 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.

Tips on saving energy

Your oven will use as little energy as

–

possible if you set the time of day display to "Time - Display - Off".

In the factory default setting of

–

"Lighting – On for 15 seconds" the oven lighting will switch off automatically after 15 seconds if a programme is running. Touch I at any time to switch the light back on.

Residual heat use

The oven heating will switch off automatically shortly before the end of a cooking process for which an auto matic switch-off time has been set or which is using the food probe.

Cooking continues using residual heat. The heat in the oven is sufficient to complete the cooking process.

– Use Fan plus U 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.

Energy save mode

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).

The time of day will be displayed or the display will remain dark (see "Settings Time - Display").

Microwave + Fan plus a

Suitable for dough which requires longer baking, such as rubbed in, beaten mixtures and yeast recipes.

The baking duration is shorter.

Microwave + Fan plus a:

–

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 parchment

Place chips, croquette potatoes and similar types of food on baking parchment.

During baking the microwave power level must not exceed 150 W.

Bakeware

The choice of bakeware depends on the oven function.

–

Fan plus U: Bakeware made of any ovenproof 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.

Notes on the baking chart

Microwave + Fan plus a

Baking

Temperature 6

As a general rule, select the lower temperature 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 level ³

ß Fan plus U

– Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1

–

Flat items (e. g. biscuits, tray bakes): Shelf level 2

Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1

and place the baking container on it.

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.

Position rectangular tins with the

–

longer side across the width of the

oven for optimum heat distribution

and even baking results.

–

Baking on two levels at once (depending on the depth of the items to be baked): Shelf levels 1+3 or Shelf levels 2+3

Roasting

Functions

Fan plus U / Auto roast [

Use this programme for roasting meat, fish and poultry that needs to be well browned.

Microwave + Fan plus a / Microwave + Auto roast L

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.

These combination programmes are not suitable for roasting sirloin joints or fillet. The centre would be too well cooked before the exterior is browned.

Roasting dishes

Please take into account the material of your bakeware 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 U / Auto roast [: Gourmet oven dishes, oven proof ceramic dishes and glass dishes.

Make sure that the pot and lid have heat-resistant handles.

–

Microwave + Fan plus a / Microwave + Auto roast L: Dishes must be suitable for use in a microwave oven and must not have metal lids (see "Suitable containers for microwave use").

Roasting

Notes on the roasting chart

Temperature 6

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.

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 an oven dish.

Pre-heating

Pre-heating is required when roasting beef sirloin joints and fillet.

Roasting duration +

The traditional British method for calculating the roasting time is to allow 15 to 20 minutes per lb/450 grammes, according to type of meat, plus approx. 20 minutes, adjusting the length of time as roasting proceeds to obtain the required result. The roasting time can also be determined by multiplying the thickness of the roast [cm] with the time per cm [min/cm], depending on the type of meat:

Tips

Browning

Browning only occurs towards the end of the roasting time. 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 10 minutes. This helps retain juices when the meat is carved.

Roasting poultry

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

Beef/venison: .........15–18 min/cm

Veal/lamb: ............12–15 min/cm

Sirloin/fillet: ...........12–15 min/cm

Check if the meat is cooked after the shortest duration quoted.

Roasting

Food probe

The food probe enables the roasting process to be monitored simply and reliably.

How the food probe works

The metal tip of the food probe is inserted into the food. There is a temperature sensor in the metal tip which measures the core temperature of the food during cooking. The rise in the core temperature reflects the extent to which the food is cooked. You can programme the core temperature to be lower or higher, depending on whether you want your meat to be rare, medium or well done.

The core temperature of up to 99 °C can be set. Please refer to the Roasting chart and "Low temperature cooking" for the core temperatures applicable for different types of meat.

When to use it

Some Automatic programmes and Special applications will prompt you to use the food probe.

You can also use it with your own User programmes and with the following functions:

Auto roast [

–

Fan plus U

–

Conventional heat V

–

Fan grill \

–

– Microwave solo _

– MW + Auto roast L

– MW + Fan plus a

– MW + Fan grill M

The duration for roasting meat by temperature using the probe is similar to the duration when cooking by time.
