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 damaged it must only be
replaced by a Miele authorised service technician in order to prevent a hazard.
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 power 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. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use multi-socket adapters and extension leads to connect
the microwave oven to the electricity supply. They are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
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 due to a missing or disconnected protective conductor. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has
been built in.
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorised technician will
void the warranty.
During repairs or cleaning and maintenance, the microwave oven
must be disconnected from the mains power supply. 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been disconnected from the back of the appliance or the appliance has been switched off at the wall socket and the plug withdrawn. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply. – the mains circuit breaker is switched off.
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).
The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the furniture door while the appliance is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed furniture door. This can result in damage to the appliance and furniture unit. Leave the furniture door open until the appliance has cooled down completely.
The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Reliable and safe operation of this microwave oven can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
Correct use
Danger of burning on the grill. When grilling with or without the microwave function, the
microwave oven will get hot. You could burn yourself on the oven interior walls, the grill element, food, accessories or the oven door.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it, and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.
The time required for this depends on a number of factors, such as the nature of the food, its initial temperature, the amount to be cooked and recipe variations. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at sufficiently high temperatures (over 70°C) for long enough (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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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 durations 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!
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, a gourmet plate or a browning dish has
been placed in the microwave, and that the turntable is in place, before switching on.
Pressure can build up when reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers, jars or bottles, which can cause them 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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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 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 heating 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 of burning. Double check after it has been left to stand.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc. using microwave power,
the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of the typical bubbles. Liquids do 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 and scalding! 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 oven door if smoke
occurs in the oven interior. Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect it from the electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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 frying. Never attempt to put out oil or fat fires with water. Switch the microwave 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.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire on hot surfaces. Never heat undiluted alcohol in the microwave, as it can easily ignite. Fire hazard!
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, benchtop and surrounding kitchen furniture. Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm.
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.
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”.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
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 and/or present a fire risk.
Disposable plastic containers must be specified by the
manufacturer as suitable for use in a microwave oven. 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 for warming food in the microwave oven, such as bags for grilled chicken.
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, sausages,
potatoes and aubergines can burst when heated. Pierce or score the skin of these types of food several times to allow steam to escape.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use in a
microwave oven. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the items can explode (this risk is reduced if the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated). 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 cleaner could reach electrical
components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
The following applies for stainless steel surfaces:
The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives
and will lose its dirt-repelling properties. Do not use sticky notes, adhesive tape or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surface.
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.
The rack and gourmet plate supplied are designed for use with
microwave power and can be used for grilling with or without the microwave function. They must not, however, be used at the same time, as this would damage the gourmet plate. Always place the gourmet plate directly on the turntable.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
The gourmet plate gets extremely hot when in use. Always use
oven gloves when handling it to avoid burns. Place it on a suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest. The rack and the gourmet plate get hot during grilling (with or without the microwave function). Danger of burning! Do not place the hot gourmet plate (or any other hot cooking container) on a cold surface, such as a tiled or granite benchtop. The glass tray or container could crack or shatter. Use a suitable heat­resistant mat or pot rest.
Do not use the gourmet plate together with a commercially
available microwave cover because the cover would become too hot.
15
Before using for the first time
After unpacking, let the appliance stand for approx. 2 hours at room temperature after transporting it to its final location before connecting it to the electricity supply.
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 from
packaging material. Whilst 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 packaging materials from
the appliance.
Danger to health due to a
defective device. 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.
Clean the inside of the microwave
oven and all the accessories with a soft sponge and warm water.
Do not remove the cover of the microwave outlet inside the oven.
Check the appliance for any damage.

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 valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.
