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 Conventional Heat , Bottom Heat , Intensive Bake or Fan Plus , do not line the floor of the oven with anything, e.g. aluminium foil or so-called protective liners. Nor 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 or Conventional Heat .
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.

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.
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.
The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures.
Do not use the food probe when grilling (Exception: Fan Grill ). If you are not using the food probe, do not store it in the oven.
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.

Features

Glass tray

The glass tray is suitable for use with all cooking functions.
Always use the glass tray when using the Microwave Solo function .
Do not place items weighing more than 8 kg on it.
Do not place the hot glass tray on a cold surface, such as a tiled or granite worktop. The glass tray could get damaged. Use a suitable heat­resistant mat or pot rest.
The glass tray has a non-tip safety notch which prevents it being pulled right out when it only needs to be pulled our partially.
When pushing the glass tray back in, always ensure that the safety notch is at the back of the oven (see illustration).
To remove the glass tray, lift it
upwards slightly at the front when the safety notch connects with the sides of the oven.

Features

Rack with non-tip safety notches

The rack 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.
Danger of burning! The rack gets hot when used with cooking programmes. Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
Do not use the rack with Microwave Solo . This could cause arcing which could damage the oven and the rack. Do not place the rack directly on the floor of the oven. Instead, use one of the oven shelves.
Do not place items weighing more than 8 kg on the rack.
To remove the rack, lift it upwards
slightly at the front when the safety notches connect with the sides of the oven.
We recommend using the rack
together with the glass tray when cooking items on the rack which might drip.

Features

Oven controls

The oven controls are used to operate the various cooking functions for baking, roasting, grilling and heating.
They 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, – the creation of User programmes, – settings that can be customised.

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.
33
Features

PerfectClean treated surfaces

Surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel are characterised by their exceptional non-stick properties and ease of cleaning.
Food can be taken off easily, and soiling from baking and roasting is simple to remove.
You can cut up food on surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel.
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 non­stick properties and easy cleaning are retained.

Microwave power

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
58

Selecting containers for microwave use

Microwaves are reflected by metal.
They pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and cardboard.
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

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.

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.
59
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.

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.
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.
61
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.
62
This test cannot be used to check whether items with hollow knobs or handles are suitable for use with microwave power.
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.
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.
63
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.
64

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 TimeDisplayOff.
– 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 or which is using the food probe. Cooking continues using residual heat. The heat in the oven is sufficient to complete the cooking process. Energy save 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).

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

Depending on how the food is prepared, you can use Fan Plus , Conventional Heat , Intensive Bake or MW + Fan Plus (see "Overview of functions").
MW + Fan Plus is particularly suitable for dough which requires longer baking, such as rubbed in, beaten mixtures and yeast recipes, because the cooking 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 , Intensive Bake
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.
– Conventional Heat
Dark metal, enamel or aluminium baking tins with a matt finish, as well as heat-resistant glass, ceramic and coated dishes can be used. Avoid bright, shiny metal tins as they result in uneven or poor browning, and in some cases cakes might not cook properly.
– 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.

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.
Conventional Heat
Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1 Flat items (e.g. biscuits, tray bakes): Shelf level 2
Intensive bake
As a general rule, use shelf level 1.
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.

Shelf levels

The shelf level on which you place your food for baking depends on the oven function and number of trays being used.
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 shelf levels 2+3

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").
96

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.

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.

Shelf levels

– Fan Plus / Auto Roast :
Rack with meat on it on shelf level 1
