Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
A damaged appliance could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the appliance if it is damaged.
If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised technician to protect the user from danger.
Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if
– the appliance door is warped.
– the door hinges are loose.
– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven interior walls.
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the microwave oven will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the appliance housing under any circumstances.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use them to connect the appliance to the mains.
The electrical safety of this microwave oven can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met to avoid the risk of damage or electric shock. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been built in.
Unauthorised or incorrect repairs can cause considerable danger to users. Repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician or by your Miele dealer.
While the microwave oven is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by your Miele dealer. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated.
The microwave oven must be disconnected from the mains power supply during repairs or cleaning and maintenance. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– the plug has been disconnected from the back of the appliance or the appliance has been switched off at the wall socket and the plug withdrawn.
Pull by the plug and not by the mains connection cable to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off.

8
Warning and Safety instructions
Reliable and safe operation of this microwave oven can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.
The time required for this depends a number of factors, such as the nature of the food, its initial temperature and the amount to be cooked and recipe variations.
Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at temperatures over 70 °C for a minimum of 10 minutes. Therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through. If in any doubt that a sufficiently high temperature has been reached, continue reheating for a little longer.
It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing a sufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be added to the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking. During the standing time the temperature is distributed evenly in the food.
Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with traditional methods of cooking food.
Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. Fire hazard. There is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., are dried in the microwave oven. Do not dry these items in the microwave oven.
Cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy can ignite when heated even after they have been removed from the microwave oven. Do not heat these up in the microwave oven. Fire hazard.
The microwave 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. Fire hazard.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance can be damaged if it is used without food being placed in it or if it is incorrectly loaded. Therefore do not use the appliance to preheat crockery or to dry herbs or similar items.
Always ensure that food or a suitable microwave browning dish has been placed in the microwave oven and that the turntable is in position before switching on.
Pressure can build up when reheating in sealed containers, causing the container to explode. Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be taken off.
Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. Although heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it out of the microwave. 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. After reheating food, especially food for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger. Double check after it has been left to stand.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc, using microwave power, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build-up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken, which 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 liquids well before heating. After heating, wait at least
20 seconds before removing the container from the oven. In addition, during heating a glass rod or similar item, if available, can be placed in the container.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the appliance door if there is smoke inside the oven compartment.
Interrupt the process by switching the microwave oven off using the On/Off button and disconnect the plug from the electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the microwave oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Do not use the appliance for deep-fat frying. Never attempt to put out oil or fat fires with water. Switch the oven off and extinguish the flames by leaving the door closed.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the microwave oven when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room.
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 microwave oven. This can also cause damage to the control panel, worktop and surrounding kitchen furniture. Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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 to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet.
The oven interior can get hot during use. Danger of burning! Clean the oven interior and accessories as soon as it has cooled down. Waiting too long can make cleaning unnecessarily difficult and in some cases impossible. Stubborn soiling could damage the microwave oven in certain circumstances and could even be dangerous. Fire hazard.
Please refer to the relevant instructions in “Cleaning and care”.
Fire hazard. Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in microwave ovens can be badly damaged and cause damage to the appliance if used. 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).
Using these items could result in damage to the container or present a fire risk.
Only those plastic disposable containers which are specified by the manufacturer as suitable for use in a microwave oven may be used.
Do not leave the oven unattended when heating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials.
Heat-retaining packaging consists of, among other things, a thin layer of aluminium foil. Microwaves are reflected by metal. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
Do not use heat-retaining packaging, such as bags for grilled chicken for warming food in the microwave oven.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
If you cook eggs without their shells using microwave power, the yolks could explode due to the resulting pressure. Prick the yolk several times before cooking to avoid this.
Eggs heated in their shells using microwave power can burst, even after they have been taken out of the oven. Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in a specially designed egg-boiling device. Do not reheat hard-boiled eggs in the microwave oven.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage, potatoes and aubergines can burst when heated. Pierce or score the skin of these types of food several times to allow steam to escape.
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.
Do not use a thermometer containing mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and break very easily.
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.
The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
The following applies for stainless steel surfaces:
Adhesives will damage the coating of the stainless steel surface and cause it to lose its dirt-repellent effect. Do not use sticky notes, adhesive tape or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surface.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratches.
Accessories
Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
15
Before using for the first time
After transportation, let the unpacked appliance stand for approx. 2 hours at room temperature before using it.
This is to allow time for the temperature to equalise between the temperature in the room and the appliance. This is important for the correct electronic functioning of the appliance.
Risk of suffocation due to packaging material.
While playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation.
Keep packaging material away from children.
Remove all the packaging materials from the appliance.
Do not remove the cover from the microwave outlet inside the oven compartment.
Check the appliance for any damage.
Health risk caused by a faulty appliance.
Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user.
Do not use the microwave oven if:
–the appliance door is warped.
–the door hinges are loose.
–holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven interior walls.
Clean the oven compartment and all the accessories with sponge or cloth and hot water.
16

Installation
Electrical connection
Risk of injury caused by a faulty appliance.
Before connecting the appliance, ensure that it has not been damaged in any way.
Never use a faulty appliance.
The appliance is supplied ready for connection with a cable and plug.
Ensure that the protective contact socket is easily accessible at all times. If that is not possible, ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation side for each pole.
Fire hazard due to overheating. Connecting the appliance to a multisocket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable.
For safety reasons, do not use an extension lead or multi-socket plug adapter.
Connect the appliance directly to the power supply using the original cable and do not use any intermediate elements.
The electrical installation must comply with local regulations.
If the connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a specific connection cable of the same type (available from your Miele dealer). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be carried out by a qualified technician or your Miele dealer.
The necessary connection data can be found on the data plate located on the front of the oven interior or on the back of the appliance.
Compare the specifications on the data plate with those of the electricity supply. Make sure that they match.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
The appliance must not be connected to the inverter of an autonomous power supply, such as a solar power system. When the appliance is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. This could damage the electronic module.
The appliance must not be used with so-called energy-saving devices. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the appliance, causing it to overheat.
