Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety A damaged appliance could be dangerous. Check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the appliance if it is damaged. If the electrical connection cable is damaged it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician in order to prevent a hazard. Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or nonmains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible.
Warning and Safety instructions Do not use multi-socket adapters and extension leads to connect the microwave oven to the electricity supply. They are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance. The electrical safety of this microwave oven can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system.
Warning and Safety instructions If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the furniture door while the appliance is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed furniture door. This can result in damage to the appliance and furniture unit. Leave the furniture door open until the appliance has cooled down completely. The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with traditional methods of cooking food. Excessively long cooking durations can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. Fire hazard! There is also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs etc. are dried in the microwave oven. Do not dry these items in the microwave oven.
Warning and Safety instructions Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. 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. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving, always check the temperature of the food itself after taking it out of the microwave.
Warning and Safety instructions Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the microwave oven when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire on hot surfaces. Never heat undiluted alcohol in the microwave, as it can easily ignite.
Warning and Safety instructions Disposable plastic containers must be specified by the manufacturer as suitable for use in a microwave oven. Do not leave the oven unattended when heating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials. Heat-retaining packaging consists of, among other things, a thin layer of aluminium foil. Microwaves are reflected by metal. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
Warning and Safety instructions The following applies for stainless steel surfaces: The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives and will lose its dirt-repelling properties. Do not use sticky notes, adhesive tape or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surface. The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause scratches. Accessories Only use original Miele accessories.
Before using for the first time 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 electricity supply. This is to allow time for the temperature to equalise between the temperature in the room and the appliance. This is important for the correct electronic functioning of the appliance.

Description of the functions In a microwave oven there is a highfrequency tube called a magnetron. This converts electrical energy into electromagnetic waves (microwaves). These microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the oven interior, and are reflected off the metal appliance walls. This enables the microwaves to reach the food from all sides and heat it up. Microwave distribution is improved with the turntable engaged.
Modes of operation In the microwave oven, food is cooked, reheated or defrosted quickly. Functions You can use the microwave oven in the following ways: Suitable for defrosting, reheating and cooking. – Food can be defrosted, reheated or cooked by entering a power level and a duration. Grilling – Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can be defrosted and then heated or cooked. – The microwave oven can also be used for other tasks, e.g.
Suitable containers for microwave use Microwaves Material and shape The material and shape of containers used affect cooking results and times. Heat distribution is more even in round and oval shaped flat containers than in rectangular containers, providing better results. Risk of injury due to hollow - are reflected by metal, - pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and cardboard, - and are absorbed by food. Risk of fire due to unsuitable crockery.
Suitable containers for microwave use heated from the top. Transferring the food from the aluminium foil container to a dish suitable for microwave use will result in a more even heat distribution. Do not place aluminium foil dishes on the rack, in case the dish sparks or arcs. Glassware Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass is ideal for use in the microwave oven. Crystal glass is unsuitable as it usually contains lead which could cause the glass to crack in the microwave.
Suitable containers for microwave use Plastics Damage caused by heatsensitive plastics. Plastics must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 110 °C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food. Use plastic containers only with Microwave Solo mode. Special plastic utensils designed for use in microwave ovens are available from retail outlets. Melamine containers are not suitable. They absorb energy and become hot. When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Suitable containers for microwave use Testing containers A microwave lid or cover 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: - prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook, such as potatoes. Place the item you wish to test in the centre of the oven. Close the door. - speeds up the cooking process. - prevents food from drying out.
Suitable containers for microwave use Damage caused by heat- Risk of explosion due to sensitive plastics.

Reheating Select the following microwave power levels to reheat food: Drinks 900 W Food 600 W Food for babies and children 450 W Risk of burning due to hot food. Food for babies and children must not be too hot. Reheat it for only 1/2 to 1 minute at 450 W. Tips on reheating Always use a lid or cover for reheating food, except when a crispy finish is required, e.g. crumbed poultry/meat. Risk of explosion due to pressure build-up.
Reheating Food taken straight from the refrigerator takes longer to reheat than food which has been kept at room temperature. The reheating time required depends on the nature of the food, its initial temperature and the amount to be cooked. Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. If in any doubt that a sufficiently high temperature has been reached, continue reheating for a little longer. Stir or turn larger amounts of food from time to time during reheating.
Cooking Place the food in a microwave-proof dish and cover it. When cooking, it is a good idea to select a power level of 900 W to start with, and when the food is hot reduce the power level to 450 W for more gentle continued cooking. For dishes such as rice pudding or semolina pudding, first select a power level of 900 W, and then reduce it to 150 W for simmering. Tips on cooking Vegetable cooking durations depend on the texture of the vegetables.
Defrosting Health risk due to refreezing. Thawed or defrosted food loses nutritional value through refreezing and can go off. Do not refreeze food once it has thawed. Use it as quickly as possible. Defrosted food may only be refrozen after it has been cooked. Select the following microwave power settings to defrost food: - 80 W for defrosting very delicate food, e.g. cream, butter, gateau and cheese. - 150 W for defrosting other types of food. Meat and poultry need to be fully defrosted before cooking.
Bottling You can preserve small portions of fruit, vegetables and meat in microwave-safe jars that are available from specialist retailers. Prepare the jars in the usual way. Fill the jars no more than up to 2 cm below the rim. Seal the microwave-safe preserving jars with clear adhesive tape or clips suitable for microwave use. Never use metal clips, jars with screw-on lids or cans in order to prevent sparking. For best results do not use more than 1 four /2- litre jars at a time when bottling.
