Do not use the appliance 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. ~ Do not open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is observed and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. ~ For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been fully installed.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply during repair work, cleaning or maintenance. ~ 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 original spare parts. ~ If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may only be used with the furniture door open.
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, the sugar may caramelise or 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 heating liquids, the boiling rod provided should always be placed in the container. 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 heat up 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 replacement parts. 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 so can be used for grilling with or without the microwave function. They must not be used at the same time as this would damage the gourmet plate.
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 what ways can a microwave oven be used? In the microwave oven, food can be cooked, reheated or defrosted quickly. Microwave Solo mode You can use the microwave in the following ways: – Food can be defrosted, reheated or cooked by entering a power setting and a duration. – Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can be defrosted and then reheated or cooked. – The microwave oven can also be used for other tasks, e.g.
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.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens Earthenware Do not place aluminium foil dishes on the rack in case the dish sparks or arcs. If sparks occur, transfer food to a microwave-safe container. – 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.
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. 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. There are also special steaming bags available which do not need to be pierced. Please follow instructions given on the packet.
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. – speeds up the cooking process. – cooking meals which are to be given a crisp finish. – the gourmet plate is being used. – prevents food from drying out. – helps keep the oven interior clean.
