The rack and gourmet plate supplied

with the appliance are designed to be

compatible with microwaves and can

therefore be used for grilling with or

without the microwave function. Do not

use the rack for microwave solo mode.

Do not reheat food in the oven in

heat-retaining bags which are intended

for normal ovens, such as roasting

bags. 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.

Do not use the rack and the gourmet

plate at the same time. This will

damage the gourmet plate.

Danger of burning.

Never place the hot glass tray (or

any other hot cooking containers) on a

cold surface, such as a tiled or granite

worktop. The glass tray or container

could crack or shatter, and the worktop

surface could get damaged. Use a

suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest.

Do not use the appliance to heat up

the room. Due to the high temperatures

radiated, objects left near the appliance

could catch fire.

When using kitchen appliances

connected to sockets near the

appliance, ensure that the cable cannot

get trapped in a hot oven door, which

could melt the cable insulation and be

dangerous. Additionally, they could

damage a ceramic hob as they melt.

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. Never use a thermometer

containing mercury or liquid, as these

are not suitable for use with very high

temperatures and will break very easily.

How the microwave oven works

In a microwave oven there is a

high-frequency tube called a

As heat is produced directly in the

food,

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.

Microwave distribution is improved with

the turntable engaged.

– food can generally be cooked

without adding much liquid or

cooking oil.

– cooking, reheating and defrosting in

a microwave oven is quicker than

using conventional methods.

– nutrients, such as vitamins and

minerals, are generally retained.

In order for microwaves to reach the

food, they must be able to penetrate

the cooking utensil being used.

– the colour, texture and taste of food

are not impaired.

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 lead to the creation of

sparks. The microwaves cannot be

absorbed.

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.

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.

Modes of operation

What can a microwave oven

do?

In what ways can a microwave

oven be used?

In the microwave oven, food can be

cooked, reheated or defrosted quickly.

Microwave Solo mode

Suitable for defrosting, reheating and

cooking.

You can use the microwave in the

following ways:

– Food can be defrosted, reheated or

cooked by entering a power setting

and a duration.

Grilling

Ideal for grilling very thin cuts of meat,

e.g. bacon.

– Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can

be defrosted and then reheated or

cooked.

Combination mode

(Microwave + Grill)

– The microwave oven can also be

used for other tasks, e.g. for proving

dough, melting chocolate and butter,

dissolving gelatine etc.

Ideal for browning dishes with

toppings. The microwave cooks the

food, and the grill browns it.

Automatic programmes

You can choose from the following

Automatic programmes:

– Five defrosting programmes

(N: Ad 1 to Ad 5),

– Four cooking programmes for frozen

food

(N °: AC 1 to AC 4)

– and eight cooking programmes for

fresh food

(°: AC 1 to AC 8).

These programmes are weight

dependent. You enter the weight of the

food, and then the cooking duration is

calculated automatically.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Microwaves

Containers and lids with hollow

handles or knobs in which moisture

can collect are unsuitable, unless

the hollowed handles are

adequately vented.

Without vent holes pressure can

build up, causing the container to

crack or shatter with the danger of

injury.

– are reflected by metal,

Metal

Metal containers, aluminium foil,

metal cutlery, and china with metalic

decoration such as gold rims or

cobalt blue must not be used on

microwave mode.

Metal relfects microwaves and

obstructs the cooking process.

Also, avoid using plastic pots where

the foil lid has not be completely

removed.

– pass through glass, porcelain,

plastic and card,

Exceptions:

– Ready-meals in aluminium foil

dishes.

These can be defrosted and reheated

in the microwave oven, if

recommended by the manufacturer.

Important: Remove the lid and make

sure the foil dish is at least 2 cm from

the oven walls at all times.

– and are absorbed by food.

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 a microwave oven.

The heat distribution will be more even.

Material and shape

The material and shape of containers

used affect cooking results and

durations. Heat distribution is more

even in round and oval shaped flat

containers than in rectangular

containers, providing better results.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Earthenware

Do not place aluminium foil dishes

Decorated earthenware is only suitable

if the decoration is beneath an all-over

glaze.

on the rack in case the dish sparks

or arcs. If sparks occur, transfer

food to a microwave-safe container.

Earthenware can get very hot and

may crack.

– Pieces of aluminium foil

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.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain

metals which make them unsuitable

for use in a microwave oven.

Make sure that the aluminium foil is

at least 2 cm from the oven walls at

all times. It must not touch the walls.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable.

Moisture contained in the wood

evaporates when exposed to

microwave energy, causing the

wood to dry and crack.

– 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.

Plastics

Glassware

When purchasing plasticware, make

sure that it is suitable for use in a

microwave oven.

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass

are ideal for use in the microwave oven.

Plastics must only be used with

Microwave Solo.

Crystal glass is unsuitable as it

contains lead which could cause the

glass to crack in the microwave

oven.

They must be heat-resistant to a

minimum of 110°C. Otherwise the

plastic may melt and fuse with the

food.

Porcelain

Special plastic utensils designed for

use in microwave ovens are available

from good retail outlets.

Porcelain is a suitable material.

Do not use porcelain with gold or

silver edging or items with hollow

knobs or handles, as insufficient

ventilation may cause pressure.

Melamine is not suitable as it absorbs

energy and heats up.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens

Disposable containers, such as trays

made from polystyrene, can only be

used for very short, timed warming and

reheating of food.

Testing dishes for their

suitability

If in doubt as to whether glass,

earthenware or porcelain plates or

dishes are suitable for use in a

microwave oven, a simple test can be

performed:

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.

^ Place the item you wish to test in the

centre of the oven, fill a suitable glass

with water and also place this in the

oven.

There are also special steaming

bags available which do not need to

be pierced. Please follow

^ Close the door.

instructions given on the packet.

^ Turn the power selector to 800 W.

^ Enter a duration of 30 seconds with

the time selector.

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.

^ Press the Start button.

At the end of the test, the water in

the glass should be warm and the

dish cool. If the dish is hot and the

water cold, it would be unwise to

use the dish.

Disposable containers

Only those plastic disposable

containers which are specified by the

manufacturer as suitable for use in a

microwave oven may be used.

If a crackling noise is heard

accompanied by sparks during the

test, switch the appliance off imme-

diately (press Stop/C button twice).

Do not leave the oven unattended

when reheating or cooking food in

disposable containers made of

plastic, paper or other inflammable

materials.

Any crockery which causes this

reaction is unsuitable for use with

microwave power.

Disposable containers are not always

recyclable or biodegradable.

If any doubt exists about the

suitability of containers, 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 ovens

The cover

Do not use a lid or cover if

– prevents too much steam escaping,

especially when cooking foods which

need longer to cook such as

potatoes.

– food coated with breadcrumbs is

being cooked.

– cooking meals which are to be given

a crisp finish.

– speeds up the cooking process.

– prevents food from drying out.

– helps keep the oven interior clean.

– the gourmet plate is being used.

Because the cover can only

withstand temperatures of up to

110°C, it must only be used in

Microwave Solo mode. It must not

be used in conjunction with the

gourmet plate. At temperatures in

excess of 110°C, the plastic can

melt and get into the food.

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.

Always cover food with the cover

supplied.

Alternatively, use lids or covers made of

microwave-safe glass or plastic, or 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.

Sealed glass containers, such as

jars of baby food, must be opened

before they are placed in the oven.

Before using for the first time

^ Check the appliance for any

damage.

Important:

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 mains.

Do not use the microwave if

– the door is warped.

– the door hinges are loose.

– holes or cracks are visible in the

casing, the door or the oven interior

walls.

This is important for the correct

electronic functioning of the appliance.

Operating the appliance with this

type of damage will result in

microwave leakage and present a

hazard to the user.

^ Remove all the packaging materials

from the appliance.

^ Clean the inside of the oven and all

the accessories with warm water

applied with a well wrung-out soft

sponge or cloth.

Operation - Grilling

The grill can be used on 4 settings: by

itself, and in combination with the

Microwave function at one of three

different power levels.

If the total grilling time required is less

than 15 minutes, the grill should be

pre-heated for approx. 5 minutes

before placing food under it.

Thin, flat cuts of fish and meat should

usually be turned half way through

grilling for even results. Larger,

chunkier pieces should be turned

several times.

^ Turn the power selector to n.

The grill symbol n will light up in the

display. 0:00 will flash.

^ Select a cooking duration using the

time selector.

Grilling times depend on the type and

thickness of the food and on the user's

preference for a rare or well-cooked

result.

^ Press the Start button.

An audible tone will sound at the end

of the process.

When grilling directly on the rack, the

glass tray should be placed underneath

the rack to catch any fat or juices.

To change a cooking duration

The cooking duration can be changed

during operation. To do this, interrupt

the cooking programme by pressing

the Stop/C button, and change the

duration. Continue the cooking process

by pressing the Start button.

^ Place the food in a suitable dish.

^ Place the glass tray, the rack and

glass tray, or the dish containing the

food on the turntable.

The cooking duration can also be

extended during operation by pressing

the Start button once for each minute

you wish to extend the cooking duration

by.

Caution. The rack and glass tray

become hot during use.

Danger of burning.

The glass tray and grill rack will be

easier to clean if washed in soapy

water immediately after grilling.

The area on the ceiling around the grill

becomes discoloured over time. This is

an unavoidable consequence of use,

and does not impair the function of the

heat-resistant mat or pot rest.

Before using for the first time

Before using the gourmet plate for the

first time, fill it with 400 ml water and

add 3-4 tbsps vinegar or lemon juice.

Heat for 5 minutes on 450 W + Grill L.

^ Heat the plate up on 450 W + Grill

L for up to 5 minutes.

Do not overheat the empty gourmet

plate, otherwise the coating could

be damaged.

The gourmet plate has an

easy-to-clean anti-stick coating so

that food can be removed easily.

The coating is susceptible to cuts

and scratches. Therefore do not cut

food up directly on the plate.

If using oil, you can either heat up the

oil on the gourmet plate, or you can

heat the oil separately and then add it

to the plate.

Use wooden or plastic utensils to

mix or turn food. Metallic or sharp

objects can damage the coating.

Butter, however, should always be

added after heating up the gourmet

plate. It has a lower burning point than

oil and would get too dark or burn if

added too soon.

Searing/browning food

Because food does not stick to the

anti-stick coating, only very little fat or

oil is necessary when cooking with this

dish.

Always dry meat, poultry, fish and

vegetables thoroughly before placing

them on the gourmet plate.

Do not use the gourmet plate to

cook eggs or reheat cooked eggs.

The eggs can explode.

Never leave the gourmet plate

unattended when cooking with oil or

fats, as these are a fire hazard if

allowed to overheat.

^ When using the gourmet plate, make

sure that the food is ready to transfer

to the hot gourmet plate as soon as it

has heated up.

Reheating

Select the following microwave power

levels to reheat food:

required depends on the nature of the

food, its initial temperature and the

amount to be cooked.

Drinks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 800 W

Food . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 600 W

Food for babies and toddlers . 450 Watt

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated.

We do not recommend heating or

reheating food or drinks for babies

or young children in the microwave

oven. Any decision to do this is the

responsibility of the user, and should

only be done with the utmost care.

Pasteurised or sterilised cooked

food should be gently heated at 450

W, and tasted to make sure it is not

too hot for a baby's palate before

serving. When reheating other food

or drink, heat to a high temperature

and allow to cool to a suitable heat

for eating. For formula milk follow the

manufacturer's instructions.

If in any doubt that a sufficiently high

temperature has been reached,

continue reheating for a little longer.

Stir or turn food from time to time during

cooking. Stir the food from the outside

towards the middle, as food heats more

quickly from the outside.

After reheating

Be careful when removing a dish

from the oven. It may be hot.

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.

Tips on reheating

Always use a lid or cover for reheating

food, except when a drier finish is

needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.

Allow food to stand for a few minutes at

room temperature at the end of a

reheating process to enable the heat to

spread evenly throughout the food.

After heating 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.

When reheating liquids, place the

boiling rod supplied with the

appliance into the cup or glass.

Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a

microwave oven, even without the

shell. The eggs can burst.

Food taken straight from the refrigerator

will take longer to reheat than food

stored at room temperature. The time

Cooking

Place the food in a microwave-proof

dish and cover it.

Foods with a thick skin or peel, such as

tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes

and aubergines, should be pierced or

the skin cut in several places before

cooking to allow steam to escape and

to prevent the food from bursting.

When cooking, it is a good idea to

select a power level of 800 W to start

with and then when the food is hot

reduce the power level to 450 W for

more gentle continued cooking.

Eggs can only be cooked in their

shells in the microwave oven in a

specially designed egg-boiling

device available from specialist

shops.

For dishes such as rice or semolina

pudding, first select a power level of

800 W, and then reduce it to 150 W for

simmering.

Eggs can burst, even after they have

been taken out of the oven.

Tips on cooking

Vegetable cooking durations depend

on the texture of the vegetable.

Fresh vegetables contain more water

than vegetables which have been

stored, and usually cook more quickly.

Add a little water to vegetables which

have been stored.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells

in the microwave oven, only if the yolk

membrane has been punctured several

times first.

The pressure could otherwise cause

the egg yolk to explode.

Food taken straight from the refrigerator

takes longer to cook than food which

has been kept at room temperature.

After cooking

Be careful when removing a dish

from the oven. It may be hot.

Stir or turn food from time to time during

cooking to help it cook more evenly.

Remove the food from its packaging

and place in a microwave-proof

container. Do not cover. Turn, stir or

separate the food about halfway

through the defrosting time.

Soups, stew and vegetables should be

stirred several times during the

process. Carefully separate and turn

slices of meat halfway through the

programme. Turn pieces of fish at the

halfway stage.

To defrost meat, unpack the frozen

meat and place it on an upturned plate

in a glass or china container so that the

meat juice can run off and be collected.

Turn halfway through defrosting.

It is particularly important to observe

food hygiene rules when defrosting

poultry. Do not use the liquid from

the defrosted poultry. Pour it away,

and wash the tray, the sink and your

hands. Danger of salmonella

Allow the food to stand at room

temperature for a few minutes to enable

the heat to spread evenly throughout

from the Miele Spare Parts Department

or via the internet at

www.miele-shop.com.

Disconnect the microwave oven

from the power supply before

cleaning (e.g. switch off at the

socket and remove the plug).

Oven interior and inside of the

door

The oven interior can get hot during

use. To avoid the danger of being

burnt, wait until it has cooled down

before cleaning. It should be

cleaned after each use. Waiting too

long can make cleaning

Do not remove the cover to the

microwave outlet inside the oven,

nor the film covering the inside of

the door.

unnecessarily difficult and in some

cases impossible.

In certain circumstances, very heavy

soiling can even damage the

appliance.

Do not let water or any small

particles penetrate the vents in the

appliance.

The oven interior and door interior can

be cleaned using a damp cloth with a

little washing up liquid or a mild

detergent and water. Wipe dry with a

soft cloth.

Wring out cloths before using them

to wipe out the oven to avoid

moisture getting into the openings.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, as

these scratch the surface.

For more heavy soiling, heat a glass of

water for 2 to 3 minutes until the water

begins to boil. The steam will collect on

the walls and soften the soiling.

The oven interior can now be wiped

clean using a little washing-up liquid if

necessary.

To neutralise odours in the oven, put a

cup of water with some lemon juice in

the oven and simmer for a few minutes.

Cleaning and care

The door should be kept clean at all

times and checked at regular intervals

for any signs of damage.

Do not turn the carrier manually, as

this could damage the drive motor.

If any damage is noticed, the

appliance should not be used until

the fault has been rectified by a

Miele authorised and trained service

technician.

Appliance front

Do not let water or any other object

find its way into or block the air

vents in the door frame.

To clean the interior:

Remove any soiling immediately.

If not, it might become impossible to

remove and could cause the surface

to alter or discolour.

Clean the front using a damp Miele

microfibre E-cloth or with a clean

sponge and a solution of hot water and

washing-up liquid. Then dry with a soft

cloth.

^ Remove the turntable, and wash in

the dishwasher or by hand.

The external surfaces are

susceptible to scratching. Scratches

on glass surfaces could even cause

a breakage.

Contact with unsuitable cleaning

agents can alter or discolour the

external surfaces.

^ Always keep the roller ring

underneath it clean as well as the

oven floor to enable the turntable to

turn smoothly.

^ Clean the contact area between the

turntable and the carrier.

Cleaning and care

To avoid damaging the surface of

your appliance, do not use:

Rack

Wash and dry the rack after each use.

It is dishwasher-proof, or can be

washed by hand in hot water with a little

washing up liquid.

– cleaning agents containing soda,

ammonia, acids or chlorides,

– cleaning agents containing

descaling agents,

Remove stubborn soils with a stainless

steel cleaner.

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream

cleaners.

Glass tray

The glass tray can be washed by hand

using a solution of hot water and

washing up liquid, or it can be washed

in a dishwasher.

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

– oven sprays,

Gourmet plate

– glass cleaning agents,

Clean the gourmet plate with hot water

and a cloth with a little washing up

liquid to remove any grease.

– hard, abrasive sponges and

brushes, e.g. pot scourers,

– sharp metal scrapers.

Do not use wire wool, or abrasive

sponges, aggressive or abrasive

cleaning agents.

Accessories supplied

The gourmet plate is not suitable for

cleaning in a dishwasher.

Boiling rod

The boiling rod can be washed in a

dishwasher.

If the gourmet plate has been used to

prepare foods with a strong aroma, you

can neutralise any odours by adding

some water and lemon juice to the

gourmet plate and heating in the

microwave at maximum power for a few

minutes. Rinse the gourmet plate

afterwards with clean water.

Cover

Wash and dry the cover after each use.

The cover can be washed in a

dishwasher. However, discolouration

caused by natural dyes, e.g. from

carrots, tomatoes or ketchup, may

occur.

This discolouration is irreversible but

does not affect the stability of the cover.

it is possible that the heat may not have

reached the centre of the food, so it is

hot on the outside but cold in the

centre. During standing time, heat is

transferred to the centre of the food.

This may leave the food warm in the

middle but cool on the outside. When

reheating food with different densities,

such as plated meals, it is therefore

sensible to select a lower power level

and lengthen the duration required.
