Warning and Safety instructions  
Before connecting the appliance,  
make sure that the connection data  
on the data plate (voltage and  
connected load) match the mains  
electricity supply. This data must  
correspond in order to avoid risk of  
damage to the appliance. Consult a  
qualified electrician if in any doubt.  
Installation work and repairs may  
only be carried out by suitably  
qualified and competent persons in  
accordance with local and national  
safety regulations. Repairs and other  
work by unqualified persons could be  
dangerous and the manufacturer will  
not be held liable.  
Ensure current is not supplied to the  
appliance until after maintenance or  
repair work has been carried out.  
Do not connect the appliance to  
the mains electricity supply by an  
extension lead.  
Extension leads do not guarantee the  
required safety of the appliance (e.g.  
danger of overheating).  
This equipment may only be  
installed in mobile installations  
such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if  
a risk assessment of the installation has  
been carried out by a suitably qualified  
engineer.  
The electrical safety of this  
appliance can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between it  
and an effective earthing system which  
complies with local and national safety  
The appliance is only completely  
isolated from the electricity supply  
regulations. It is most important that this when:  
basic safety requirement is present and  
– the mains fuse is disconnected,  
regularly tested, and where there is  
any doubt, the household wiring system – or the screw-out fuse is removed (in

Warning and Safety instructions  
Use  
Do not use the microwave function  
to heat up cushions or pads filled  
General notes  
Always ensure that food is  
sufficiently cooked or reheated.  
Many factors will affect the overall  
cooking time, including the size and  
amount of food, its initial temperature,  
changes to recipe and the shape and  
size of cooking container.  
with cherry kernels, wheat grain,  
lavender or gel, such as those used in  
aromatherapy. These pads can ignite  
when heated even after they have been  
removed from the appliance.  
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 ensure that  
this type of procedure is supervised.  
Some foods may contain  
micro-organisms which are only  
destroyed by thorough cooking,  
therefore when cooking or re-heating  
foods, e.g. poultry it is particularly  
important that food is fully cooked  
through (at temperatures of over 70°C  
for more than 10 minutes). If in doubt,  
select a longer cooking or reheating  
time.  
It is important that the heat is allowed to  
spread evenly throughout the food  
being cooked. This can be achieved by  
stirring and/or turning the food, and by  
observing a sufficiently long standing  
time, which should be added to the  
time needed for cooking, reheating or  
defrosting.  
Do not use full power to warm  
empty dishes. The lack of food or  
incorrect loading could cause damage  
to the appliance.  
Do not leave the oven unattended  
when cooking with oils and fats as  
these can be a fire hazard if allowed to  
overheat.  
If smoke occurs in the oven, to  
avoid fuelling any flame do not  
open the oven door. Switch the  
appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF  
selector, switch off at the mains socket  
and remove the plug from the socket.  
Do not open the oven door until the  
smoke has dispersed.  
Always remember that cooking  
times using microwave power are  
usually considerably shorter than with  
traditional methods of food preparation  
(Fan plus, Auto Roast, Grill, Fan Grill).  
Excessively long cooking times can  
lead to food drying out and burning, or  
could even cause it to catch fire. Do not  
use the microwave function to dry  
breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, grain etc.  
Use the Fan plus function for this type  
of procedure and do not leave the oven  
unattended.  
Only use the Miele roast probe  
supplied with this appliance.  
If a replacement is necessary it can be  
obtained from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department or your Miele dealer.  
When not in use do not leave the  
roast probe in the oven, especially  
when grilling.  
The high temperatures used for grilling  
could cause plastic components on the  
roast probe to melt.  
10  
 
Warning and Safety instructions  
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the  
oven as this can easily ignite.  
The glass tray and the combi rack  
take a maximum load of 8 kg.  
Exceeding this weight limit can cause  
them damage.  
Do not heat up tins in the  
appliance. Pressure can build up  
and they may explode, resulting in  
injury or damage.  
Do not lean or sit on an open oven  
door, or place heavy items on it.  
This could damage the appliance. The  
oven door can support a maximum load  
of 8 kg.  
Cover any food which is left in the  
oven to be kept hot, as moisture in  
the food could lead to corrosion  
damage in the oven. This also prevents  
the food from drying out.  
Never 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 and the worktop surface  
could get damaged. Place it on a  
suitable pot rest or a wire rack.  
Try to avoid the interior walls being  
splashed with food or liquids  
containing salt. If it does happen wipe  
these away thoroughly, to avoid  
corrosion on the stainless steel  
surfaces.  
Do not use a steam-cleaning  
appliance to clean this appliance.  
Pressurised steam could reach the  
electrical components and cause a  
short circuit.  
If you wish to leave food in the  
oven after cooking, e.g. to take  
advantage of the residual heat, do not  
turn the oven off. Simply select the  
lowest temperature, and leave the  
function at the position set.  
Do not use the appliance to heat  
up the room. Due to the high  
temperatures radiated, objects left near  
the appliance could catch fire.  
Do not switch the appliance off until the  
food has been removed. Otherwise  
moisture in the oven could lead to  
condensation forming on the control  
panel and surrounding kitchen furniture  
and drops of moisture collecting under  
the worktop.  
When using kitchen appliances  
connected to sockets near the  
appliance, ensure that the cable cannot  
get trapped in a hot oven door, which  
could melt the cable insulation and be  
dangerous.  
Condensation can:  
– damage the housing unit / worktop.  
– lead to moisture damage in the oven.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Microwave function  
When heating liquids, the boiling  
rod provided should always be  
placed into the container.  
Before serving, remember to allow  
a sufficient standing time and then  
always check the temperature of the  
food after taking it out of the oven. The  
temperature of the container is not an  
indication of the temperature of the  
food or liquid in it. When heating food  
and drink, remember that the heat is  
created in the food itself and that the  
container will normally be cooler. The  
dish is only warmed by the heat of the  
food.  
This is particularly important when  
preparing food for babies, children,  
and the elderly or infirm.  
Always stir or shake baby milk and food  
after heating it up, and taste it first to  
make sure it is not too hot.  
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,  
using microwave heat 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.  
This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause  
a sudden build up of bubbles, when the  
container is removed from the oven or  
shaken. This can lead to the liquid  
boiling over suddenly and explosively.  
Danger of burning.  
Never cook or reheat food or  
liquids in sealed containers, jars or  
bottles.  
With baby bottles, the screw top and  
teat must be removed. Otherwise  
pressure builds up which can cause  
the bottle or container to explode  
posing a severe risk of injury.  
The formation of bubbles can be so  
strong that the pressure forces the oven  
door open. The user could be injured  
and the appliance damaged.  
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid  
boils evenly and that bubbles form at  
an early stage during the operation.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not use any containers or  
Eggs can be cooked without their  
shells using microwave heat only if  
the yolk membrane has been  
punctured several times first. The  
pressure could otherwise cause the  
egg yolk to explode. Danger of injury.  
cutlery made from or containing  
metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal  
glassware, temperature-sensitive  
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery,  
metal clips or wire ties. Do not use  
bowls with milled rims, or cream pots  
with the tinfoil lid only partially removed.  
Such items could be damaged or  
cause a fire hazard.  
Do not reheat food in the oven in  
heat-retaining bags which are  
intended for use in 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.  
The combi rack supplied with the  
appliance must be used with the  
glass tray. It is designed to be  
compatible with microwaves and can  
therefore be used with the microwave  
function. Do not place it on the oven  
floor.  
Food with a thick skin or peel, such  
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket  
potatoes and aubergines, should be  
pierced or cut in several places to allow  
steam to escape and prevent the food  
from bursting.  
N.B. It gets hot when using the  
microwave function. Danger of burning.  
Do not leave the oven unattended  
when reheating or cooking food in  
disposable containers made of plastic,  
paper or other inflammable materials.  
Before using single use containers  
make sure they are suitable for use in  
microwave ovens. See appropriate  
section.  
Ovenproof earthenware can retain  
a considerable amount of moisture.  
Earthenware and porcelain containers  
with hollow handles and lid knobs must  
only be used with the microwave  
function if they have vent holes, which  
allow the moisture to escape. Without  
vent holes there can be a pressure  
build-up, causing the container to crack  
or shatter, with the danger of injury.  
Eggs can only be cooked in their  
shells using microwave heat in a  
specially designed egg-boiling device  
available from specialist shops.  
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not  
be reheated using microwave heat as  
this may lead to the eggs exploding,  
even after they have been taken out of  
the oven.  
To check food temperature, first  
interrupt the cooking process.  
Then use a thermometer specifically  
approved for food use to measure the  
temperature of the food. Never use a  
thermometer containing mercury or  
liquid, as these are not suitable for use  
with very high temperatures and will  
break very easily.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Traditional oven functions:  
Fan plus, Auto roast, Grill, Fan grill  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Before disposing of your old  
appliance, first make it unusable.  
Disconnect it from the mains, cut off the  
cable near the appliance and render  
any plug unusable. Appliances which  
have been built-in should be  
disconnected from the mains supply by  
a qualified person. This will prevent the  
appliance from being misused.  
Caution. Danger of burning.  
When the oven is being used as a  
traditional oven it can get very hot.  
Great care should be taken to  
ensure that small children do not  
touch the oven when it is being used.  
Children's skin is far more sensitive to  
high temperatures than that of adults.  
External parts of the oven such as the  
door glass, vents, handle and fascia  
panel can become quite hot.  
The manufacturer cannot be held  
liable for damage caused by  
non-compliance with these Warning  
and Safety instructions.  
Danger of burning.  
Wear oven gloves when placing  
food in the oven, turning it or  
removing it. When the Grill is being  
used, either solo or in a combination  
programme, the element becomes very  
hot and there is a danger of burning.  
Wait until the grill element has  
cooled down before lowering it for  
cleaning. Danger of burning! Do not  
use force to lower it as this can cause it  
to break.  
In countries where there are areas  
which may be subject to infestation  
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay  
particular attention to keeping the  
appliance and its surroundings in a  
clean condition at all times. Any  
damage which may be caused by  
cockroaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the guarantee.

Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of your  
old appliance with your household  
waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for disposal  
and can normally be recycled.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
Rather than just throwing these  
materials away, please ensure they are  
offered for recycling.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre and ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
It should be unplugged or disconnected  
from the mains electricity supply by a  
competent person. The plug must be  
rendered useless and the cable cut off  
directly behind it to prevent misuse.  
See the "Warning and Safety" section of  
this booklet for further details.

Operating modes  
Microwave function  
All food contains moisture molecules  
which, when subjected to microwave  
energy, start to oscillate 2.5 thousand  
million times a second. The friction  
caused by this vibration creates heat,  
which first starts developing around the  
outside of the food and then slowly  
penetrates towards the centre.  
Microwave cooking offers the benefits  
of speed, convenience and nutritional  
advantages when food does not require  
browning or crisping.  
The following power levels can be  
selected:  
80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W,  
850 W and 1000 W.  
The moisture, fat and sugar content of  
food will affect the speed at which it is  
cooked.  
How does the microwave oven  
function?  
As heat is produced directly in the  
food,  
In a microwave oven there is a  
high-frequency tube called a  
– food can generally be cooked  
without adding much liquid or  
cooking oil.  
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.  
– cooking, reheating and defrosting in  
a microwave oven is quicker than  
using conventional methods.  
– nutrients, such as vitamins and  
minerals, are generally retained.  
In order for microwaves to reach the  
food, they must be able to penetrate  
the cooking utensil being used.  
– the colour, texture and taste of food  
are not impaired.  
Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,  
glass, cardboard and plastics, but not  
metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils  
made of metal, or which contain metal,  
for example in the form of gold or silver  
trim. The metal reflects the microwaves  
and this could lead to the creation of  
sparks. The microwaves cannot be  
absorbed.  
Microwaves stop being produced as  
soon as the cooking process is  
interrupted or the appliance door is  
opened.  
When the appliance is in operation, the  
closed, sealed door prevents  
microwaves escaping from the  
appliance.  
Microwaves pass through a suitable  
container and find their way directly into  
the food.

on. Pre-heat the with the oven door  
closed for approx. 5 minutes before  
starting to cook. Grill with the oven door  
closed.  
Fan plus  
This system works by the circulation of  
heated air.  
A fan in the back wall draws in the air,  
heats it over a heater element and  
blows it back into the oven cavity  
through the carefully spaced openings  
in the back panel.  
Fan grill  
The hot air from the grill is distributed  
over the food by the fan on the back  
wall of the oven. This enables a lower  
temperature to be selected than for  
normal oven grilling. Pre-heat the with  
the oven door closed for approx. 5  
minutes before starting to cook. Grill  
with the oven door closed.  
The oven does not usually need to be  
pre-heated as the heated air reaches  
the food straight away. Pre-heating may  
be necessary for foods such as puff  
pastry and yeast mixtures where instant  
heat is required to make them rise  
quickly.  
When using Fan plus, you can bake  
and roast on two different levels at the  
same time.

The combination programmes enable

automatically.  
The Microwave + Fan plus combination  
programme is the most effective  
because the heat reaches the food to  
be baked or cooked immediately,  
giving the greatest savings in both time  
and energy.  
In general when using the combination  
programmes, you should not set the  
microwave power level higher than  
150 W for baking, and not higher than  
450 W for cooking, roasting and grilling.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
Microwaves  
When using microwave power you  
should always place the food / dish  
centrally on the glass tray and slide  
the tray into the first shelf level from  
the bottom. Placing the dish on the  
floor of the oven will give  
unsatisfactory and uneven results.  
Material and shape  
– are reflected by metal,  
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.  
Metal  
Metal containers, aluminium foil and  
metal cutlery, or china with metallic  
decoration such as gold rims or  
cobalt blue must not be used in  
microwave mode.  
– pass through glass, porcelain,  
plastic and card,  
The metal reflects the microwaves,  
hindering the cooking process.  
Exceptions:  
– If recommended by the producer,  
pre-cooked meals in aluminium foil  
containers can be defrosted and  
reheated in the appliance using  
microwave power. Important:  
– and are absorbed by food.  
Remove the lid first.  
However, as food is only heated from  
the top it is better to remove the food  
from the aluminium foil container and  
transfer it to a dish suitable for a  
microwave oven. The heat  
distribution will be more even.  
38  
 
Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
Do not place aluminium foil  
Glassware  
containers on the metal rack as this  
can cause arcing to occur and  
damage the oven.  
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass  
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.  
Crystal glass contains lead which  
could cause the glass to crack.  
Glass dishes with a milled rim are  
subject to the same risk.  
– 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  
wing-tips or other thin parts for the  
last few minutes of the process.  
Both are unsuitable.  
Porcelain  
Make sure that the aluminium foil is  
at least 2 cm from the oven walls at  
all times. It must not touch the walls.  
Porcelain is a suitable material.  
Do not use porcelain with gold or  
silver edging or items with hollow  
knobs or handles, as insufficient  
ventilation may cause pressure.  
– Metal meat skewers or clamps  
should only be used if they are very  
small in comparison to the size of the  
cut of meat.  
Earthenware  
Decorated earthenware is only suitable  
if the decoration is beneath an all-over  
glaze.  
The combi rack supplied with the  
appliance is suitable for use with  
microwave power. However, it must not  
be placed on the oven floor.  
Earthenware can get very hot, and  
may crack.  
Glazes and colours  
The rack can get hot.  
Some glazes and colours contain  
metals which make them unsuitable  
for use in a microwave oven.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
Plastics

Plastics must only be used with  
Microwave Solo. They must be  
heat-resistant to a minimum of  
110 °C. Otherwise the plastic may  
melt and fuse with the food.  
containing metal parts or paper ties  
containing wire.  
There is a danger that they will ignite  
when heated.  
Wood  
Special plastic utensils designed for  
use in microwave ovens are available  
from good retail outlets. When  
purchasing plasticware, make sure that  
it is suitable for use in a microwave  
oven.  
Wooden dishes are not suitable.  
Moisture contained in the wood  
evaporates when exposed to  
microwave energy, causing the wood to  
dry and crack.  
Melamine is not suitable for use in this  
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave  
energy and gets hot.  
Disposable containers  
Only those plastic disposable  
containers which are specified by the  
manufacturer as suitable for use in a  
microwave oven may be used.  
Plastic boiling bags can be used for  
cooking and reheating.  
Disposable containers, such as trays  
made from polystyrene, can only be  
used for very short timed warming and  
reheating the food.  
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.  
Do not leave the oven unattended  
when reheating or cooking food in  
disposable containers made of  
plastic, paper or other inflammable  
materials.  
Roasting bags and tubes  
Roasting tubes should be about 40 cm  
longer and roasting bags about 20 cm  
longer than the food being roasted, and  
carefully tied with string. Turn the ends  
over and secure them. The bag should  
be pierced according to the  
Disposable containers are not always  
recyclable or bio-degradable.

Testing dishes for their  
suitability  
This test cannot be used to check  
whether items with hollow knobs or  
handles are suitable for use with  
microwave power.  
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:  
^ Place the empty container centrally  
on the glass tray and slide into the  
lowest shelf level.  
^ Close the door.  
A microwave oven process cannot  
be started until the door is closed.  
^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor to call up  
the main menu.  
^ Select Microwave.  
The highest microwave power level is  
then highlighted (1000 W).  
^ Confirm with "OK".  
^ Enter a duration of 30 seconds and  
confirm with "OK".  
If a crackling noise is heard  
accompanied by sparks during the  
test, switch off the appliance imme-  
diately by touching the ON/OFF  
sensor.  
Any crockery which causes this  
reaction is unsuitable for use with  
microwave power.  
If any doubt exists about the  
suitability of containers, please  
contact the supplier.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
A cover  
Sealed glass containers, such as  
– prevents too much steam escaping,  
especially when cooking foods which  
need longer to cook, such as  
potatoes.  
jars of baby food must be opened  
before they are placed in the oven.  
Do not attempt to heat them up  
unopened.  
– speeds up the cooking process.  
– prevents food from drying out.  
– prevents any loss of aroma.  
Do not use a cover if  
– food coated with breadcrumbs is  
being cooked.  
– helps keep the oven interior clean.  
– cooking meals which are to be given  
a crisp finish.  
– using a combination programme.  
The cover supplied may only be  
used in microwave-solo operation.  
The cover can only withstand  
temperatures of up to 110 °C.  
Higher temperatures generated by  
grilling or fan heat could cause the  
plastic to distort and fuse with the  
food.  
The cover must not create a seal  
over the container. If the cover is  
used with a container which only has  
a narrow diameter, condensation  
may not be able to escape through  
the holes in the cover. The cover  
could get too hot and could start to  
melt.  
Always use lids or covers made of  
microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use  
a clingfilm recommended for use in a  
microwave oven, (pierce as instructed  
by the manufacturer).  
Unsuitable clingfilm can melt into the  
food.

programme for defrosting:  
The following settings are  
recommended as a general guide:  
When defrosting a large amount of food  
which has been wrapped in individual  
portions, enter a lower total weight than  
the actual total weight.  
This will give a more even result.  
Example:  
– 80 W  
for defrosting very delicate food, e.g.  
cream, butter, gateau and cheese.  
– 150 W  
1.5 kg sliced steak packed into  
3 individual 500 g portions  
Enter weight as: 1000 g instead of  
1500 g  
for defrosting everything else.  
The appropriate automatic programmes  
are ideal for defrosting.  
Turn, stir or separate the food about  
half-way through the defrosting time.  
The automatic programme has an  
audible tone which sounds as a  
reminder.  
See the chart on the next page for  
defrosting durations.  
^ Remove the food from its packaging  
and place it in a microwave-safe  
container.  
After defrosting  
^ Place the container centrally on the  
glass tray and slide into the lowest  
shelf level.  
Allow the food to stand at room  
temperature long enough to allow the  
temperature to spread evenly  
throughout the food.  
If defrosting a large quantity, e.g. 2 kg  
of fish, you can place the food directly  
on the glass tray and then slide it into  
the lowest shelf level.

manufacturer’s instructions.  
With the automatic programme a  
buzzer sounds as a reminder. Stir the  
food from the outside towards the  
middle, as food heats more quickly  
from the outside.  
The appropriate automatic programmes  
are also ideal for reheating.  
Always use a lid or cover for reheating  
food, except when a drier finish is  
needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.  
45  
 
Reheat  
After reheating  
Be careful when removing a dish  
from the oven. It may be hot.  
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.  
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at  
room temperature once a programme  
has ended to allow the heat to be  
distributed evenly.  
After reheating food, especially food  
for babies and small children, stir  
the food or shake the container and  
check that the temperature does not  
pose any danger. Double check  
after it has been left to stand.

reminder.  
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as  
tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes  
and aubergines, should be pierced or  
cut in several places to allow steam to  
escape and prevent the food from  
bursting.  
Fan plus  
This method is recommended for  
cooking and steaming food such as  
potatoes and vegetables.  
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should  
not be cooked using microwave  
power as this may lead to the eggs  
exploding, even after they have  
been taken out of the oven. Eggs  
can, however, be cooked using  
microwave power if you have  
purchased special containers  
designed for this purpose.  
Microwave + Fan plus  
This method is useful when you want to  
shorten cooking times and have a  
browned finish to the dish.  
Microwave + Grill  
This method is good for cooking food  
which needs a well cooked top or  
browned finished to it, such as  
macaroni cheese or pasta tuna bake.  
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.  
Microwave  
Place the food in a microwave-safe dish  
and cover it.  
Place the dish on the glass tray and  
slide into the lowest shelf level.  
Add a little water to vegetables which  
have been kept stored. Vegetable  
cooking times depend on the texture of  
the vegetable. Fresh vegetables  
contain more water than vegetables  
which have been stored and usually  
cook more quickly.

The following containers are suitable:  
Ovenproof glass, china and  
earthenware pots with heat-resistant  
handles and knobs.  
Generally you can cook without a lid  
when using the combination  
programmes.  
Cover dishes which are to be cooked in  
their own juice and/or steam, e.g.

Defrosting and Reheating / Cooking  
For simultaneous defrosting and  
reheating or cooking the following  
functions are suitable:  
Combination programme  
Select Microwave + Grill for cooking  
ready made meals, which are to be  
crisped and browned. Select a  
– Microwave  
microwave power level of 450 watts.  
The grill temperature is automatically  
set and cannot be changed.  
– Microwave + Grill  
Microwave is suitable for defrosting  
and then reheating or cooking deep  
frozen ready made meals which you do  
not wish to brown.  
Put the ready made meal in a heat  
resistant, microwave-proof dish, and  
place on the glass tray. Slide the glass  
tray into the second shelf level. Do not  
cover.  
Microwave + Grill is suitable for ready  
made meals which also need to be  
browned.  
Ready made meals in aluminium dishes  
must be placed directly on to the glass  
tray.  
Microwave  
Deep frozen ready made meals can be  
defrosted and then reheated or cooked.  
Please follow instructions given on the  
packet.  
If this does not brown the food as much  
as you would like, next time put the dish  
on the rack, and slide this together with  
the glass tray into the first level from the  
bottom.  
Remove the food from its packaging  
and place in a covered microwave-safe  
dish for defrosting and reheating or  
cooking. Soups, stew and vegetables  
should be stirred several times during  
the process. Carefully separate and  
turn slices of meat halfway through the  
programme. Turn pieces of fish at the  
halfway stage.  
Deep-frozen ready made meals in card  
trays which, according to  
manufacturer’s instructions, are suitable  
for use in a normal oven, are normally  
also microwave-safe.  
52  
 
Grilling  
This oven offers several grill settings:  
Grill, Fan Grill, Microwave + Grill and  
Microwave + Fan Grill.  
grilling time for each item does not vary  
too greatly.  
Place the rack on the glass tray and  
slide into the second or third shelf level  
from the bottom, depending on the type  
of food you are grilling.  
The rack can be used either way up to  
achieve the best distance from the grill  
element.  
Grill is suitable for flat items such as  
cutlets, steak, burgers, toast etc.  
Fan grill is suitable for grilling thick  
cuts, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.  
In the Combination programmes  
microwave power output is limited to  
450 W for the entire duration of the  
programme.  
Most items should be turned half way  
through cooking.  
Fan grill  
Preparing food for grilling  
It is usually best to use the lowest shelf  
level. The rack can be used either way  
up. Using the rack with the raised  
section facing upwards allows more  
space underneath the food for hot air to  
circulate. If necessary you can use the  
second shelf level from the bottom, for  
instance where the meat is not too thick  
or large.  
Rinse meat under cold running water  
and then pat dry. Do not season meat  
with salt before grilling as this draws  
the juices out. Add a little oil if  
necessary. Do not use other types of fat  
as they can get too dark, burn and  
cause smoke. A little butter can be  
added to chicken if desired.  
Clean flat fish and slices of fish in the  
normal way. To enhance the taste add a  
little salt or squeeze a little lemon juice  
over the fish.  
Test to see if cooked  
One way of finding out how far through

Roasting  
The following settings are suitable for  
roasting:  
Auto roast  
Slide the glass tray with the combi rack  
into the first shelf level from the bottom.  
– Auto roast  
– Microwave + Auto roast  
Roasting pots with a lid, made from  
earthenware, cast iron, ovenproof china  
or glass, and roasting foil are suitable.  
Make sure that the pot and lid have  
heat-resistant handles.  
Use Auto roast to give meat or poultry  
a crisp browned finish.  
Select the combination programme to  
cook in a shorter time.  
Place the dish directly on the glass tray.  
The combination programme is not  
usually suitable for cooking roast beef  
or fillet steak. The centre would be too  
well cooked before the exterior is  
browned.  
The roasting time will depend on the  
type of meat, the size and thickness of  
the cut, and can be calculated as  
follows:  
The traditional method is to calculate 20  
mins per lb plus 20 mins over.  
Put meat or poultry into the oven  
without pre-heating.  
Exception: Pre-heat at the temperature  
The larger the roast, the lower the  
suggested when cooking beef and beef temperature to be selected. For cuts  
fillet.  
above 3 kg select a temperature  
approx. 10 °C lower than that given in  
the roasting chart. Roasting will take  
longer at the lower temperature, but will  
be more even.  
Cooking in a covered pot is highly  
recommended:  
– the meat stays succulent,  
– the oven interior stays cleaner than  
when roasting on the rack.  
To roast on the rack place the rack with  
the raised side upwards on the glass  
tray and set the temperature 20°C lower  
than for pot roasting.  
– this ensures that sufficient stock  
remains for making gravy.  
Do not select a higher temperature than  
that advised. This would brown, but not  
completely cook the meat.  
Half way through the cooking time  
remove the lid from the pot if browning  
the meat.  
55  
 
Roasting  
Microwave + Auto roast  
Useful hints  
Slide the glass tray with the rack into  
the first runner level from the bottom.  
Roasting in a covered pot  
Season the meat and place in the pot.  
Add some knobs of butter or margarine  
or baste with a little oil or cooking fat.  
Add about 1/8 litre of water when  
roasting a big lean joint of meat (2-3 kg)  
or roasting poultry with a high fat  
content.  
Use only heat resistant pots, with no  
metal in the pot or lid. Microwaves  
cannot penetrate metal to reach the  
food in the pot.  
If using roasting foil  
– cut the foil approx. 40 cm longer than  
the piece of food  
Browning only occurs towards the end  
of the roasting time. 15 - 20 minutes  
before the end of roasting time take the  
lid off the pot.  
– and tie carefully. Make sure the pot,  
foil and ties are suitable for  
microwave use.  
After selecting an Auto roast  
Roasting on the rack  
temperature, select a microwave setting  
for the total cooking time of:  
Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or  
place a few strips of streaky bacon on  
the top.  
– 300 W for roasting meat or fish,  
– 150 W for roasting poultry.  
Do not add too much liquid to the tray  
during cooking as this will hinder the  
browning process.  
Please note that open roasting can give  
rise to excessive smoke.  
After the roasting process is  
finished  
Take the roast out of the oven, wrap in  
aluminium foil and leave to stand for  
about 10 minutes. This helps retain the  
juices when the meat is carved.  
The temperature required can be set  
20°C lower than for pot roasting.  
Roasting poultry  
For a crisp finish, baste the poultry ten  
minutes before the end of cooking time  
with slightly salted water.  
Frozen meat  
Deep frozen meat should be thoroughly  
defrosted before roasting.  
56  
 
Using the roast probe  
This appliance is supplied with a roast  
probe, which enables the roasting  
process to be monitored simply and  
reliably.  
Using the roast probe  
^ Prepare the meat in the usual way.  
^ Insert the probe into the meat until  
the tip of the probe reaches the  
centre of the meat.  
The tip of the probe is pushed into the  
centre of the meat where it measures  
the core temperature continuously.  
When the pre-selected core  
temperature is reached, the oven  
heating is switched off automatically.  
Please note:  
You can place the meat in a pot or on  
the rack on the glass tray. Roasting  
bags or foil may also be used. Insert  
the probe through the foil or bag into  
the centre of the meat.  
The roast probe can be used with the  
following functions:  
– Auto roast  
– Fan plus  
If fat or bone come into contact with the  
probe, this can lead to the oven being  
switched off too early. Therefore:  
– Microwave (Solo and combination  
programmes)  
– do not let the probe touch any  
bones.  
– do not insert it into a particularly fatty  
area of the meat.  
If the meat is very heavily marbled with  
fat, select the highest core temperature  
given in the roasting chart.  
The roast probe should not be used  
with poultry or fish. Because of the  
amount of bone and cavity space it is  
difficult to find a good place to insert  
the probe.  
57  
 
Using the roast probe  
^ Place the food in the oven.  
As soon as the core temperature  
selected has been reached  
– the "Programme finished" message  
will appear in the display.  
– the audible tone will sound. (See  
"Settings - Buzzer tones" for details  
on how to alter the tone).  
– the oven will switch itself off  
automatically.  
– the cooling fan will continue to run for  
a while.  
^ Insert the plug of the roast probe into  
the socket until you feel it engage.  
Note  
You can also delay the start of the  
programme.  
^ Close the door.  
^ Select the required function.  
When finished, cover the meat with  
aluminium foil and allow to stand for  
approx. 10 minutes. During this time  
the core temperature rises another  
5 – 10°C.  
The recommended oven tempterature  
(e.g. 160 °C) and the recommended  
core temperature of 60°C will appear  
in the display.  
^ Alter the recommended oven  
temperature if necessary  
You may need to insert the probe in a  
different place and start again, if:  
^ Call up and change the "Core  
temperature".  
– the cut of meat was too large (3 kg or  
more) for the probe to be inserted  
right to the centre.  
The core temperature required will  
depend on what is being roasted. See  
the Roasting chart for suggested  
temperatures.  
– the meat is not sufficiently roasted to  
your taste.  
The duration for roasting meat by  
temperature using the probe is similar  
to the duration when cooking by time.  
Once the programme has started, the  
core temperature rise can be followed  
in the display.  
The cooking duration is calculated  
automatically.

drying out.  
– Microwave + Fan plus  
Fan plus is suitable for baking small  
cakes, swiss roll and pastries.  
Microwave + Fan plus  
Microwave + Fan plus is suitable for  
doughs which require longer baking,  
such as rubbed in and beaten mixtures,  
yeast recipes and cheesecake.  
Fan plus  
^ Slide the glass tray into the 1st shelf  
level from the bottom, and place the  
baking container on it.  
For preference use ovenproof glass or  
ceramic baking dishes, as microwaves  
can penetrate these materials into the  
food being cooked. Metal tins would  
reflect microwaves so that they would  
only reach the cakes from the top,  
resulting in a longer cooking time.  
Cake tins should be placed on the first  
shelf level from the bottom. Place the  
rack with the raised section facing  
upwards in the glass tray. This ensures  
sufficient air circulation all around the  
tin.  
Metal baking tins can also cause  
sparking. Place the tin on the glass tray,  
and make sure it does not touch the  
interior walls.  
When baking flat items such as biscuits  
you should select the second shelf level  
from the bottom to ensure even  
browning results.  
When baking on two levels at the same  
time select the second and third shelf  
levels from the bottom.  
If sparking continues, do not use this tin  
again in microwave combination mode.  
Do not use paper based containers  
coated with aluminium foil, such as  
are sometimes provided with packet  
cake mixes. There is the danger of  
these catching fire.  
Any heat-resistant material is suitable  
for baking in.  
Thin-walled and bright, non-reflective  
metal tins can be used, but results may  
60  
 
Baking  
Switch on the microwave setting for the  
total cooking time. The microwave  
setting should not be higher than  
150 W.  
Eating food which has been cooked  
correctly is important for good  
health.  
Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc  
until they are golden brown. Do not  
allow them to become dark brown.  
Tips on baking  
Temperature settings, times and  
microwave power settings in the  
Baking Chart are suggestions only.  
Select an average temperature and  
time for first attempts and adapt  
accordingly.  
To achieve even results without  
over-browning the food . . .  
. . . when baking cakes, pastries, deep  
frozen foods such as chips, croquettes,  
frozen pizza, baguettes etc.  
Place cakes in rectangular tins with  
the longer side across the width of the  
oven for optimum heat distribution and  
even results.  
– always select the lowest temperature  
given in the recipe/cooking  
instructions on the packaging.  
Do not set a temperature higher than  
that recommended. Increasing the  
temperature may reduce the cooking  
time, but will lead to uneven  
browning, and unsatisfactory  
cooking results.  
– Check if the food is cooked at the  
end of the shortest time quoted.  
To check if a cake is ready, insert a  
wooden skewer into the centre.  
It is ready if the skewer comes out  
clean, without dough or crumbs  
sticking to it.  
– Place chips, croquettes and similar  
types of food on baking parchment.

Cleaning and care  
Oven interior and inside of the  
door  
For more heavy soiling, heat a glass of  
water for 2 to 3 minutes until the water  
begins to boil. The steam will collect on  
the walls and soften the soiling. The  
oven interior can now be wiped clean  
using a little washing-up liquid if  
necessary.  
The oven interior and the inside of  
the door are hot after use.  
Danger of burning.  
Wait until the interior, inside of the  
door and the door seal have cooled  
down before cleaning them. Clean  
the oven at regular intervals,  
perferably after each use. Waiting  
too long can make cleaning  
unnecessarily difficult and in some  
cases impossible.  
If food has burnt on, use a mild  
non-abrasive cleaner or a proprietary  
cleaner for stainless steel, applied with  
a non-scouring kitchen sponge.  
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents  
as the material is susceptible to  
scratching.  
In certain circumstances, very heavy  
soiling can even damage the  
appliance.  
Do not use sharp metal tools to  
clean glass as these can scratch the  
surface.  
Check the oven interior, door and door  
seal at regular intervals for any sign of  
damage.  
If using an oven spray, the  
manufacturer's instructions must be  
followed. Do not spray into any of  
the openings.  
If any damage is noticed, the oven  
should not be used again in  
microwave mode until the fault has  
been rectified by a service  
technician.  
Do not use too much water on the cloth  
or sponge and do not let water or any  
other substance find its way into any  
openings.  
The oven interior is stainless steel. The  
high temperatures possible when  
operating in a traditional oven mode  
can cause the steel to darken slightly.  
To neutralise odours in the oven, put a  
cup of water with some lemon juice in  
the oven and simmer for a few minutes.  
Residues of fruit juices as well as cake  
mixtures are best removed while the  
oven is warm.  
Clean the oven interior, inside of the  
door and door seal using warm water  
with a little washing-up liquid applied  
with a soft spong or cloth. Wipe dry  
with a soft cloth.  
Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting  
discolouration to the surfaces.  
63  
 
Cleaning and care  
Oven interior roof  
Appliance front  
If the oven interior roof is badly soiled,  
the grill element can be lowered to  
make cleaning easier.  
^ All surfaces and controls should be  
cleaned using an E-Cloth or with  
warm water with a little washing up  
liquid applied with a soft sponge or  
cloth.  
Wait until the grill element has  
cooled down before lowering it to  
avoid the danger of being burnt.  
^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft  
cloth.  
Clean the door handle and the control  
elements regularly, preferably after  
each use.  
This will help prevent grease and other  
deposits adhering to surfaces and  
becoming difficult to remove.  
E-Cloth  
A micro-fibre "E-Cloth" is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,  
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces  
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic  
and chrome without the use of  
chemicals.  
^ To lower the grill element loosen and  
then remove the nut.  
Glass surfaces  
Glass surfaces are susceptible to  
scratches and abrasions.  
Avoid:  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.  
powder cleaners and cream  
cleaners,  
^ Lower the grill element gently.  
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers  
or sponges which have been  
previously used with abrasive  
cleaning agents,  
Do not use force to lower the  
element as this could break it.  
^ After cleaning the grill element, raise  
it gently back up again. Refit the nut  
and tighten to secure the grill  
– sharp metal tools,  
– oven sprays.

Cleaning and care  
Aluminium fronted appliances  
Stainless steel fronted appliances  
Aluminium is affected by the way that  
light falls on it, by the surrounding  
environment and by the angle you  
observe it from.  
Stainless steel surfaces are susceptible  
to scratches and abrasion.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a Miele E-Cloth or with a  
proprietary non-abrasive cleaning  
agent designed specifically for use on  
stainless steel.  
Aluminium surfaces and controls  
may suffer discolouration or damage  
if soiling is left on them for too long.  
Remove any soiling straight away.  
Avoid:  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
acids or chlorides,  
Aluminium surfaces are susceptible to  
scratches and abrasion.  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.  
powder cleaners and cream
