Warning and Safety instructions This microwave oven complies with current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material damage. Read the operating instructions carefully before using the appliance. They contain important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions The oven compartment is fitted with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department.
Warning and Safety instructions If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised technician to protect the user from danger. Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard.
Warning and Safety instructions The electrical safety of this microwave oven can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met to avoid the risk of damage or electric shock. If in any doubt, please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician. For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been built in.
Warning and Safety instructions The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship). Correct use Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. The time required for this depends a number of factors, such as the nature of the food, its initial temperature and the amount to be cooked and recipe variations. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at temperatures over 70 °C for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Warning and Safety instructions The appliance can be damaged if it is used without food being placed in it or if it is incorrectly loaded. Therefore do not use the appliance to preheat crockery or to dry herbs or similar items. Always ensure that food or a suitable microwave browning dish has been placed in the microwave oven and that the turntable is in position before switching on. Pressure can build up when reheating in sealed containers, causing the container to explode.
Warning and Safety instructions When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc, using microwave power, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build-up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken, which can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning.
Warning and Safety instructions Food which is stored in the oven or left in it to be kept warm can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the microwave oven. This can also cause damage to the control panel, worktop and surrounding kitchen furniture. Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm. Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids containing salt.
Warning and Safety instructions 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. Do not use heat-retaining packaging, such as bags for grilled chicken for warming food in the microwave oven. If you cook eggs without their shells using microwave power, the yolks could explode due to the resulting pressure.
Warning and Safety instructions The following applies for stainless steel surfaces: Adhesives will damage the coating of the stainless steel surface and cause it to lose its dirt-repellent effect. 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 transportation, let the unpacked appliance stand for approx. 2 hours at room temperature before using it. 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. Risk of suffocation due to packaging material.

Reheat 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. Only heat it for 1/2 to 1 minute at 450 watts. Tips on reheating Always use a lid or cover when reheating food, except when a crispier finish is needed, e.g. food with a breadcrumb coating. Danger of explosion due to pressure build-up.
Reheat Food taken straight from the refrigerator takes longer to cook than food which is at room temperature. The 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 safe container and cover it. When cooking, it is a good idea to select a power level of 900 W to start with and then when the food is hot reduce the power level to 450 W for more gentle continued cooking. For dishes such as rice or semolina pudding, first select a power level of 900 W, and then reduce it to 150 W for simmering. Risk of injury due to eggs with Tips on cooking without shells.
Defrost 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 re-frozen after it has been cooked. Select the following microwave power levels for defrosting food: - 80 W for defrosting very delicate food, e.g. cream, butter, gateau and cheese. - 150 W for defrosting everything else.
