Problem Cause and remedy
Food is not ad-
equately defros-
ted, heated or
cooked at the end
of the selected
cooking duration.
The duration or power level were insufficient to cook the food.
Check whether the correct power level was selected for the
duration set.
The lower the power level, the longer the duration required.
Check whether the programme has been interrupted and not
restarted.
The micro-
wave function
is working but
not the oven
lighting.
The lamp is faulty.
You can then operate the appliance as normal, but not the lighting.
Contact Miele Customer Service if you need to replace the
lighting.
Strange
noises are
heard when
the micro-
wave oven is
being used.
The food is covered with aluminium foil.
Remove the aluminium foil.
Sparks are being created by the use of crockery with a metallic
finish.
Please observe the information on suitable containers.
The time of
day in the dis-
play is not ac-
curate.
If there has been a power cut, the time automatically switches
back to 12:00.
The time of day needs to be reset.
Set the correct time of day.
Food cools
down too
quickly.
In the microwave oven, food begins to cook from the outside first,
the inside of the food relying on the slower conduction of heat.
If food is cooked at a high power level, 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 trans-
ferred to the centre of the food.
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.
The micro-
wave oven
switches it-
self off during
a cooking, re-
heating or de-
frosting pro-
gramme.
There may be insufficient air circulation.
Check whether the air inlet or outlet is blocked.
Remove any obstruction.
The appliance switches off automatically in cases of overheating.
Cooking can be continued after a cooling-down period.
The appliance switches itself off again.
