IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using electrical appliances always observe basic safety precautions, including the following: WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy: Read all instructions before installing or using the oven. Read and follow the specific, "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY". This appliance is intended for residential use only.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Technical Safety ~ Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national and local safety regulations and the provided installation instructions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty. ~ Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to electricity.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety ~ Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. ~ Do not use the oven to heat the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven could catch fire. ~ Times for cooking, heating and defrosting food in the convection microwave oven are shorter than that of traditional food preparation methods. Extensive microwaving could dry out food and cause possible ignition.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ~ Only use accessories approved by Miele for use with this machine. Use of other accessories may cause damage and void the warranty. ~ Do not lean, sit or place heavy items on the open oven door. The machine may be damaged. The door can hold a max. of 17.5 lbs (8 kg). ~ Do not cover or block any opening on the appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ~ Do not leave the appliance unattended when heating food in disposable, e.g. plastic, paper or other flammable materials. See "Selecting cookware". ~ Do not use the oven to heat food in heat retaining packaging, e.g. take-out food bags. This packaging contains a thin layer of aluminum foil which reflects the microwaves. This reflected energy can cause the paper layer to ignite. ~ Before serving food allow a sufficient standing time.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ~ Eggs must only be cooked in their shells in the microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling device. Hard-boiled eggs should not be reheated in the microwave oven. The eggs may burst, even once they have been removed from the oven. ~ Eggs can be cooked without their shells in the microwave oven only if the yolk membrane has been punctured first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode. Danger of injuries.

Guide to the display Function selector Temperature selector The left-hand selector is used to select the function. It can be turned clockwise or counter clockwise. The right-hand selector V °F W is used to – Microwave – Combination Bake – Micro Broil – Combination Broil – Rapid Heat – select the temperature. – enter times (as an alternative to using the V or W touch controls). It can be turned clockwise to increase the value or counter clockwise to reduce the value.
Guide to the display Touch controls The microwave oven is operated by electronic sensor controls which react to the touch of a finger. Every touch of the controls is confirmed by a tone. The tone can be turned off. See "Settings % – P 4" Use OK – For selecting an entry. A triangle V appears under the selected symbol. – To confirm an entry. V – Moves triangle V in the display to the left or right. W – Increases or reduces the microwave power setting / time entered.
Guide to the display Triangle V in the display When the triangle lights up V below a symbol in the display, the corresponding function is indicated. If the triangle flashes V below a symbol, the function has been selected and can be changed. The triangle V flashes for about 15 seconds. The setting can be changed using V or W only while it is flashing. If this entry time elapses, you must once again call up the desired symbol with "OK".
Oven accessories Boiling wand Glass tray with non-tip safety notches This tray is suitable for all microwave oven functions. When heating liquids, the provided boiling wand should be placed into the container. It results in even boiling of the liquid. Always use the glass tray when using the Microwave (Solo) function. When inserted the safety notches should face the rear. The glass tray can hold a max. of 17.5 lbs (8 kg).
Oven accessories Combi rack The combi rack is specially designed for microwaves and can be used with programs that use microwave power (combi programs). It should not be set on the bottom of the oven and do not use it with the Microwave (Solo) function. This could cause arcing which could damage the oven. The combi rack can hold a max. of 17.5 lbs (8 kg). The combi rack becomes very hot during use. Use caution. When inserting a rack, always check that the safety notches are at the rear of the oven.
Safety and energy saving features System lock Automatic Safety Shut-off The oven can be locked 0 to prevent unauthorized use. A function without Microwave can be started without a duration set. To prevent a run-on operation and a fire hazard the oven shuts off automatically. Depending on the temperature and function selected, the oven will turn off 1 to 10 hours after the last operation was selected.
Safety and energy saving features Door contact switch Switching off time display If the door is opened during a function without microwave, the heat will automatically turn off but the fans will remain on. The function will continue again once the door is closed. If the door is opened during a function with microwave, the heat and fan will both turn off automatically. After closing the door, the operation must be restarted. The display darkens when the function selector is in "Off" position.
Settings % The default oven settings can be changed in the function "Settings %". In this function you can customize the oven to suit your preferences. Setting Status (* Factory setting) P I Time display S 0 The time display is turned off. The display is dark when the function selector is in the "0ff" position. The time runs in the background. S I* The time display is turned on and visible. S 0 When a set duration time expires, no signal sounds.
Settings % Changing the status of a setting ^ Turn the function selector to Light / %. The settings will remain saved in the case of a power failure. ^ Select "OK". P I "P I" appears in the display. The settings "P I" to "P 7" can be changed individually. ^ Press V or W until the desired setting number appears in the display. ^ Select "OK". S 0 The current status of the setting "S" (example) appears in the display. ^ Use V or W to change the setting status (see table). ^ Select "OK".
Selecting cookware Microwaves: Material and shape The material and shape of containers used affect cooking results and times. Circular and oval containers work best. The food will heat more evenly than in a square container. ,Containers and lids which – are reflected by metal, contain hollow handles or knobs are not suitable for use in the oven. The handles or knobs could collect moisture if not adequately vented. Without vent holes pressure can build up, causing the container to crack or shatter.
Selecting cookware Exceptions: The enclosed combi rack is only suitable for combi functions not the microwave solo function. Do not set it on the oven floor. – Metal baking dishes are suitable for baking with a combination microwave baking method. However they are not recommended, metal reflects the microwaves causing longer cooking times. In addition, the use of metal pans could cause sparking. – Pre-cooked meals in aluminum foil containers can be defrosted and reheated in the oven.
Selecting cookware Plastics Use plastic dishes only for Microwave - Solo. They must be heat resistant up to 230°F (110°C) otherwise the plastic may melt into the food. Special plasticware, designed for use in microwave ovens is available in retail outlets. 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.
Selecting cookware Covering the food Use a cover only during the Microwave function. Plastics are only heat-resistant up to 230°F (110°C). Higher temperatures (Broiling, Convection Bake, etc.) can cause the cover to melt into the food. The cover should not completely seal the container. This may prevent steam from escaping causing the cover to melt. A cover: – prevents most of the steam from escaping, especially when cooking foods which needs longer to cook, such as potatoes.
