Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt. ~ Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated. ~ The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply during repair work, cleaning or maintenance. ~ Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct use ,Danger of burning. The microwave oven gets hot during grilling (with and without the microwave function). You could burn yourself on the oven interior, grill element, hot food, accessories and oven door. Use oven gloves when working with hot food in the oven or placing food in or removing it from the hot oven. ~ Always ensure that food is sufficiently heated.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Exercise caution when cooking or reheating food with a high sugar content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If heated for too long, sugar may caramelise and ignite. ~ Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with traditional methods of food preparation. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Always ensure that food has been placed in the microwave oven and that the turntable is in position before switching on. ~ Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles the screw top and teat must be loosened. Otherwise pressure builds up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ When reheating liquids, place the boiling rod supplied into the cup or glass. It will ensure that the liquid heats up evenly with bubbles forming at the right time. When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc, using microwave power without the boiling rod, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the door if smoke occurs inside the microwave oven. 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. ~ Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat. Do not use the appliance to fry food.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Do not use the appliance to bottle food or heat up food in tins. Pressure can build up and they may explode. ~ Cover any food which is left in the microwave oven to be kept hot, as moisture in the food could lead to corrosion damage in the appliance and could also damage the control panel, worktop and surrounding kitchen furniture. Covering the food also prevents it from drying out. ~ Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids containing salt.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Fire hazard. Using microwave power 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.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags intended for 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. ~ 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.
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 microwave oven. ~ To check the temperature of the food, first interrupt the cooking process.
Warning and Safety instructions Accessories ~ Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability. ~ 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.
Warning and Safety instructions Optional accessory ~ Do not 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. Use a suitable heat-resistant mat or pot rest.
How the microwave oven works In a microwave oven there is a high-frequency 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. Microwave distribution is improved with the turntable engaged. In order for microwaves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the cooking utensil being used.
Modes of operation What can a microwave oven do? In the microwave oven, food can be cooked, reheated or defrosted quickly. You can use the microwave oven in the following ways: Microwave oven functions Microwave Solo mode Suitable for defrosting, reheating and cooking.
