dangers of misuse.
~Great care should be taken to
ensure that children do not touch the
appliance when it is being used.
External parts of the oven such as the
door glass, control panel and the vent
become quite hot. Children's skin is far
more sensitive to high temperatures
than that of adults. Danger of burning!
Technical safety
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person authorised by Miele in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for unauthorised

of the appliance if
– the door is warped,
– the door hinges are loose,
– holes or cracks are visible in the
housing, the door, the door seal or
the oven interior walls.
Operating the appliance with this type
of damage will result in microwave
leakage and present a hazard to the
user.
~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
regulations. It is most important that this
basic safety requirement is present and
tested regularly and, where there is any
doubt, the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualified
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g.
electric shock).
Warning and Safety instructions
6

~Before connecting the appliance,
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and rated load)
match the mains electricity supply. This
data must correspond in order to avoid
the risk of damage to the appliance.
Consult a qualified electrician if in
doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply via a multi-
socket unit or an extension lead. These
do not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
~Never open the housing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
~While the appliance is under
warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the warranty will be
invalidated.
~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
–the mains fuse is disconnected,
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
–or it has been switched off at the
isolator or at the wall socket and the
plug has been withdrawn.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician.
~This microwave compact oven must
not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions
7

Correct use
Caution! Danger of burning.
The oven interior will become very
hot when operating with functions
which do not use microwave power
and also combination programmes
which do use microwave power.
~Use oven gloves when placing food
in the oven, turning or removing it and
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a
hot oven.
The top heat/grill elements get very hot
when the oven is being used on the
Grill Y, Fan Plus U, Fan Grill \,
Microwave+Grill b, Microwave+Fan
Grill Mfunctions. Danger of burning!
~Plastic containers must only be used
with Microwave solo. These melt at high
temperatures, and if used with any
other function could damage the
appliance.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size,
amount and type of food, its initial
temperature, changes to recipe and the
shape and size of cooking containers.
Always ensure that food is suitably
cooked or reheated. Some foods may
contain micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at
temperatures over 70 °C for a minimum
of 10 minutes. Therefore, when cooking
or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is
particularly important that food is fully
cooked through. 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.
~Please be aware that using
microwave power will shorten cooking,
reheating and defrosting times
considerably compared to when using
functions without microwave power.
Make sure that you keep to the
recommended grilling times when
using the Grill Yand Fan Grill \
functions.
However, excessively long cooking
times can lead to food drying out and
burning or could even cause the food
to catch fire.
– Do not use the microwave function to
dry breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs,
grain etc.
–Do not use any grilling functions to
heat and crisp up rolls or bread, or to
dry flowers, herbs, grain etc.
Use the Fan Plus Ufunction for this
type of procedure and do not leave the
oven unattended.
~Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or
fats as these are a fire hazard if allowed
to overheat.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

~Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave, as this can easily ignite.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please
be aware that high temperatures can
cause the alcohol to vaporise and even
to ignite on the hot heating elements.
Alcohol should be burnt off before the
dish is placed in the oven to avoid this
danger.
~Do not heat up unopened tins or jars
of food in the appliance. Pressure can
build up and they may explode,
resulting in injury or damage.
~To avoid fuelling any flames, do not
open the oven door if smoke occurs in
the oven interior. Cancel the cooking
process by switching the appliance off,
switch off at the socket and remove the
plug. Do not open the oven door until
the smoke has dispersed.
~Moisture in food could lead to
corrosion in the oven interior and
corrosion damage of the control panel,
worktop or housing unit.
–Always cover food when using the
Microwave (Solo) function. After food
has been brought to the boil,
continue cooking it at a lower setting
to avoid excess steam escaping.
–If you wish to complete a cooking
process using the residual heat in
the oven, do not switch the
appliance off. Leave the function
selector at the position set and turn
the temperature selector to the
lowest setting.
–Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. This also
prevents the food from drying out.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire.
~Do not lean or sit on an open oven
door, or place heavy items on it. This
can damage the appliance. The
maximum load bearing capacity of the
door is 8 kg.
~Do not use full power to warm empty
dishes or to dry out herbs. The
appliance could be damaged if used
without food, or if it is incorrectly
loaded.
~Do not use the microwave function
to heat up cushions or pads filled 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~The microwave combination oven is
not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting
items.
Items can get extremely hot and there
is a danger of burning when the item is
removed.
~Before serving, remember to allow a
sufficient standing time and then
always check the temperature of the
actual food itself after taking it out of the
microwave. The temperature of the
container is not an indication of the
temperature of the food or liquid in it.
When heating food and drinks,
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.
Shake or stir baby milk and food
thoroughly after heating, and try it for
temperature to ensure that it will not
scald the baby.
~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.
~When heating liquids, the boiling rod
provided should always be placed into
the container.
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid
boils evenly and that bubbles form at
an early stage during the operation.
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. 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!
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~Make sure that you only use
microwave safe containers when using
the Microwave (Solo) function or a
combination programme which uses
microwave power. Observe the
instructions given in "Suitable
containers for microwave ovens".
~Ovenproof earthenware can retain a
considerable amount of moisture.
Earthenware and porcelain containers
with hollow handles and lid knobs must
only be used with microwave power 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.
~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.
~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 "Suitable
containers for microwave ovens -
Plastics".
~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 power as
this may lead to the eggs exploding,
even after they have been taken out of
the oven.
~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!
~Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes
and eggplants, should be pierced or
cut in several places to allow steam to
escape and prevent the food from
bursting.
~To check food temperature, first
interrupt the cooking process. Only use
a thermometer specifically approved for
food use to measure the temperature of
the food. Never use a mercury or liquid
thermometer as they are unsuitable for
such high temperatures and break
easily.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele spare parts
and accessories with this appliance. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, the warranty
will be invalidated, and Miele cannot
accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions

Disposal of the packing
material
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.
Disposal of your old appliance
or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines 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 or machine. Therefore,
please do not dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.
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 the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.

Safety features Use
System lock The system lock prevents the appliance being used
by children, for example.
Safety cut-out Afunction without microwave can be started
without selecting a cooking duration. To prevent
overuse and the consequent danger of fire, the
appliance switches off automatically after a certain
length of time. This can be between 1 hour and 10
hours, depending on the function and temperature
chosen.
Ifacombination programme is followed in quick
succession by another combination programme, the
magnetron (which produces the microwaves) cannot
be switched on again until after approx. 10 seconds
have elapsed. For this reason you will need to wait a
short while before starting the second programme.
Energy saving function Use
Door contact switch If the door is opened during a programme that is not
using microwaves, the heat in the oven automatically
switches off. The fans continue to operate. As soon
as the door is closed again, the programme will
continue.
However, if the door is opened during a
combination programme, the cooling fan will
switch off and the programme must be started again
after you have closed the door.
"Switch off time-of-day
display" function
The standard factory default setting can be changed
so that the time of day continues to run unseen in
the background. The display remains dark. The time
of day display is switched on and is visible in the
display when the appliance is operated (see
"Settings - Time of day display").
Description of functions
17

_Microwave
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.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate
the cooking container being used (see
"Suitable containers for microwave
ovens"). Microwaves pass through a
suitable container and find their way
directly into the food.
All food contains moisture molecules
which when subjected to microwave
energy start to oscillate vigorously. The
friction caused caused by this vibration
creates heat which first starts
developing around the outside of the
food and then slowly penetrates
towards the centre. The moisture, fat
and sugar content of food will affect the
speed at which it is cooked.
As heat is produced directly in the
food,
–food can generally be cooked
without adding much liquid or
cooking oil.
–cooking, reheating and defrosting is
much quicker than when using a
function which does not use
microwave energy.
–nutrients, such as vitamins and
minerals, are generally retained.
–the colour, texture and taste of food
are not impaired.
Power level
The following power levels can be
selected:
80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W,
850 W, 1000 W
Microwaves stop being produced as
soon as the cooking process is
interrupted or the appliance door is
opened.
Functions
18

Functions which do not use
microwave energy
UFan Plus
This system works by the circulation of
heated air. As the heated air reaches
the food straight away, temperatures
are lower than those needed for
"Conventional heat" where the heat is
directed at the food from above and
below.
When using Fan Plus you can cook on
two different levels at the same time.
YGrill
This function can be used for grilling
thin cuts and for browning cooked
dishes, e.g. pasta bakes. The grill is
ready for use when it glows red.
PDefrost
The air in the oven is kept at room
temperature and circulated by the fan
to gently defrost frozen food.
\Fan Grill
Temperatures used for Fan Grill are
lower than those used with the Grill
function.
For grilling thick cuts, e.g. rolled meat,
poultry.
SRapid Heat-up
This function heats up the appliance
quickly to the temperature required.
The temperature indicator light will go
out when the pre-selected temperature
has been reached. The function
selector must then be turned to the
function you wish to use for cooking.
Functions which use
microwave energy
(Combination programmes)
bMicrowave+Grill
aMicrowave+Fan Plus
MMicrowave+Fan Grill
The combination programmes enable
food to be reheated and cooked
quickly with even browning results.
The Microwave+Fan Plus combination
programme is the most effective
because the heat reaches the food im-
mediately 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
300 W for cooking, roasting and grilling.

Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
Remove any protective foil from the
front of the appliance.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.
Before using the appliance for the first
time,
–take all accessories out of the oven
and wash them.
–heat up the appliance once with
nothing in it.
With new appliances, there is usually
a smell during first use. High
temperatures will help dissipate this
smell more quickly.
Please ensure the room is well
ventilated during this operation.
Close doors to other rooms to
prevent the smell spreading
throughout the house.
^Before heating it up, it is a good idea
to wipe the interior out with a damp
cloth first. This way any dust or bits of
packaging that may have
accumulated in the oven
compartment during storage and
unpacking will be removed.
^Turn the function selector to Fan
Plus U.
The recommended temperature of
160 °C will appear.
^Use the temperature selector to set
the highest temperature (250 °C).

–are reflected by metal,
– pass through glass, porcelain,
plastic and card,
–and are absorbed by food.
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.
,Ovenproof earthenware can
retain a considerable amount of
moisture. Earthenware and porcelain
containers with hollow handles and
lid knobs must only be used in this
oven 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.
Metal
Metal containers, aluminium foil,
metal cutlery and china with metallic
decoration such as gold rims or
cobalt bule must not be used with
microwave power.
Metal reflects microwaves and
obstructs the cooking process.
Do not use plastic pots where the
foil lid has not been completely
removed as small pieces of foil
could cause sparks.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
22

Exceptions:
The rack supplied with the
appliance is suitable for use with
microwave power (combination
programmes).
However, it must not be placed on
the oven floor.
–Metal baking trays can be used with
combination programmes which use
microwave power.
–If recommended by the producer,
pre-cooked meals in aluminium foil
containers can be defrosted and
reheated in the appliance using
microwave power. Important:
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.
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.
–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.
Make sure that the aluminium foil is
at least 2 cm from the oven walls at
all times.
–Metal meat skewers or clamps
should only be used if they are very
small in comparison to the size of the
cut of meat.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.
Crystal glass is unsuitable as it
contains lead which could cause the
glass to crack in the microwave.
Porcelain
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.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Earthenware can get very hot, and
may crack.
Glazes and colours
Some glazes and colours contain
metals which make them unsuitable
for use in a microwave oven.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
23

Wood
Wooden dishes are not suitable.
Moisture contained in the wood
evaporates when exposed to
microwave energy, causing the
wood to dry and crack.
Plastics
Only plastic containers and plastic
disposable containers which are
specified by the manufacturer as
suitable for use in a microwave oven
may be used. Disposable containers
are not always recyclable or
biodegradable.
,Plastic items may 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.
Special plastic utensils designed for
use in microwave ovens are available
from good retail outlets.
Melamine is not suitable for use in this
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave
energy and gets hot. When purchasing
plasticware, make sure that it is suitable
for use in a microwave oven.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when reheating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials.
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.
Roasting bags and tubes can be
used. Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
,Do not use metal clips, plastic
clips containing metal parts, or
paper ties containing wire.
There is a danger that they will ignite
when heated.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
24

Testing dishes for their
suitability
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:
^Insert the glass tray in the oven at the
lowest shelf level and place the
empty item you wish to test on the
glass tray. Fill a suitable glass with
water and also place this on the
glass tray.
^Close the door.
^Select the microwave function _
and select the hightest power level
(1000 W).
^Confirm with "OK".
^Enter a duration of 30 seconds and
confirm with "OK".
At the end of the test, the water in
the glass should be warm and the
dish cool. If the dish is hot, it would
be unwise to use the dish.
If a cracking noise is heard
accompanied by sparks during the
test, switch the appliance off imme-
diately. Any crockery which causes
this reaction is unsuitable for use
with microwave power.
If any doubt exists about the
suitability of a container, please
contact the supplier.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
Placing the dish in the oven
^Insert the glass tray at the lowest
shelf level.
^The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the
glass tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven defrosting/cooking/
reheating results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
Suitable containers for microwave ovens
25

A cover (optional accessories)
–prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook, such as
potatoes.
–speeds up the cooking process.
–prevents food from drying out.
–helps keep the oven interior clean.
When using programmes which use the
microwave function always cover the
food with lids or covers made of
microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use
a clingfilm recommened for use in a
microwave oven (pierce as instructed
by the manufacturer).
Unsuitable clingfilm can melt into the
food.
,Sealed glass containers, such as
jars of baby food, must be opened
before they are placed in the oven.
Do not use a cover if
–food coated with breadcrumbs is
being cooked.
–cooking meals which are to be given
a crisp finish.
–using a combination programme
which uses microwave power.
,The cover supplied may only be
used in Microwave _(Solo) mode.
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 should not form a seal
with the container. If the cover is
used with a container which only has
a narrow diameter, there might not
be enough room for condensation to
escape through the holes in the top.
The cover could get too hot and
could start to melt.

Defrosting, reheating and cooking using microwave power
42

Before defrosting, reheating and
cooking
^Place food (including frozen) in a
dish that is suitable for the
microwave, and cover it.
^Place the container in the middle of
the glass tray and insert it at the
lowest shelf level.
With combination programmes
Only use heat-resistant containers
which are microwave-safe.
A lid is generally not required.
It is essential not to cover food when
using "Microwave+Grill", as the food
will not brown.
^Place the glass tray on the second
lowest shelf level.
Ready made meals in aluminium
containers must be placed directly onto
the glass tray.
During the defrosting, reheating and
cooking process
Turn or stir the food several times. Stir
the food from the outside towards the
middle, as food heats more quickly
from the outside.
After defrosting, reheating and
cooking
Allow the food to stand at room
temperature long enough to allow the
temperature to spread evenly
throughout the food.
,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.
,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.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
If in any doubt that the food has been
sufficiently reheated/cooked, place it
back in the appliance and reheat/cook
it for a little longer.
It is very important to make sure that
food which goes off easily, such as fish,

Guidance on reheating food
Food for babies and young children
or the elderly must not be allowed to
get too hot. We do not recommend
heating or reheating foods or drinks
for babies or young children in the
microwave oven. Any decision to do
this is the responsibility of the user,
and should only be done with the
utmost care. Pasteurised or
sterilised cooked food should be
gently heated using 450 watts, and
tasted to make sure it is not too hot
for a baby's palate before serving.
When reheating other food or drink,
heat to a high temperature and allow
to cool to a suitable heat for eating.
For formula milk, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Always open glass jars.
Remove the lid from jars of baby
food.
Remove the screw cap and the teat
before heating up bottles of baby milk.
When reheating liquids place the
boiling rod supplied into the cup or
glass.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a
microwave oven, even without the
shell. The eggs can explode.
Guidance on cooking
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.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should
not be cooked using the Microwave
_function 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.
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.

Useful tips
Use Tips
Defrosting large
quantities of food at
once, e.g. 2 kg fish
The glass tray placed on the lowest level can be used
for defrosting food.
Reheating food Always cover food when reheating it, except when
reheating meat/fish coated in breadcrumbs.
Cooking vegetables 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.
Cooking frozen ready-
meals
These can be defrosted and reheated or cooked at the
same time. Please follow instructions given on the
packet.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The food is not
sufficiently heated or is
not cooked at the end
of a set time.
Check that you remembered to restart the programme
after interrupting a cooking process using microwave
power.
Check that the correct duration was selected for the
power level chosen when cooking or reheating in
microwave mode.
The lower the power level the longer the duration.
Food cools down too
quickly after being
reheated or cooked in
microwave mode.
When cooked by microwaves, food begins to cook from
the outside first, the inside of the food relying on the
slower conduction of heat.
If food is cooked at a high power level it is possible that
the heat may not have reached the centre of the food.
Food may be warm in the middle but cool on the edge.
When reheating food with different densities, such as
plated meals, it is sensible to start with a low power
level and select a longer reheating time.

Functions
ßFan Plus U
Ideal for baking biscuits, sponges,
choux pastry, puff pastry and filo

ßMicrowave+Fan Plus a
Suitable for doughs which require
longer baking, such as rubbed in and
beaten mixtures and yeast recipes.
The baking duration is shorter.
A microwave power level of no more
than 150 W is used throughout the
baking duration.
Bakeware
For the best baking results make sure
that you chose bakeware in a material
suitable for the particular oven function
you are using.
Fan Plus U
Bakeware made of any heat-resistant
material is suitable. Light-coloured,
thin-walled, non-reflective metal tins
can be used, but results may not be as
good as with dark non-reflective tins.
Microwave+Fan Plus a
Only use heat-resistant bakeware which
is microwave-safe (see "Suitable
containers for microwaves" ), e.g
bakeware made of heat-resistant glass
or ceramics, as microwaves can
penetrate these materials.
Metal bakeware, on the other hand,
reflects microwaves, which are then
only able to access the cake from
above. A longer baking time would be
required. Furthermore, metal baking
tins can also cause sparking.
To check for suitability, place the tin on the
glass tray, and make sure it does not
touch the interior walls. If sparking
continues, do not use this tin again with a
microwave combination programme.

Useful tips
You can also programme the duration
(see "Operation - Programming cooking
durations). However, do not delay the
start too long when baking as the cake
mixture or dough will dry out, and the
raising agents will lose their
effectiveness.
Place cakes being baked in retangular
tins with the longer side across the
width of the oven for optimum heat
distribution and even results.
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
overcook them.
Even baking and browning is achieved
when baking cakes, pastries, frozen
foods such as chips, croquettes, pizza,
baguettes etc. by
–selecting 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.
Baking
50

Problem Possible cause and remedy
Cakes or biscuits are
not properly cooked
after the time
recommended in the
chart.
Check that the correct temperature has been set.
Check whether there has been a change to the recipe.
The addition of more liquid or more eggs makes a
moister mix which would take longer to cook.
Check the material and colour of the baking tins being
used.
Bright shiny tins are not very suitable. Try using a
different tin next time. These reflect heat, making more
difficult for the heat to reach the food. The food will not
cook through properly.
Cakes or biscuits are
unevenly browned.
There is always likely to be small differences in the level
of browning.
If the difference is very noticeable, check whether the
temperature setting is high enough, and also the
material and colour of the baking tins.
Bright shiny tins are not very suitable. Try using a
different tin next time. These reflect heat, which means
that the heat does not penetrate to the food effectively,
resulting in uneven or poor browning.

Only use heat-resistant dishes which
are microwave-safe. Do not use a metal
lid (see "Suitable containers for
microwave ovens").
Roasting
53

Pot roasting
Roasting in a covered pot is highly
recommended:
–The meat stays succulent,
–and the oven stays cleaner, too.
–It also ensures that sufficient stock
remains for making gravy.
Season the meat and place it in the pot.
Add some butter or margarine or baste
with a little oil or cooking fat. Add about
125 ml water when roasting a large,
lean joint of meat (2 – 3 kg) or poultry
with a high fat content.
Put meat or poultry into the oven
without pre-heating. Exception: Pre-
heat the oven at the temperature
suggested when roasting beef and
beef fillet.
Shelf level
Fan Plus U
^Insert the rack with the food on it at
the lowest shelf level.
Microwave+Fan Plus a
^Place the rack or the glass tray on
the lowest shelf level.
Temperature
Please refer to the roasting chart.
The larger the joint of meat (max. 3 kg,
except for poultry), the lower the
temperature required. For poultry
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 the
poultry will be more evenly cooked, and
the skin is less likely to burn.
Roasting
54

Roasting time
The roasting time will depend on the
type of meat, the size and thickness of
the cut, The traditional British method is
to allow 20 minutes per lb/450 g,
according to the type of meat, plus
20 minutes, adjusting the duration as
roasting proceeds to obtain the
required result.
Browning only occurs towards the end
of the roasting time.
Remove the lid about 15 – 20 minutes
before the end of the roasting time if a
more extensive browing result is
required.
Useful tips
Take the meat 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.
Roasting on the rack
When roasting on the rack set a
temperature of approx. 20 °C lower than
in a covered pot.
Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or
place a few strips of streaky bacon on
the top.
Do not add too much liquid during
cooking as this will hinder the browning
process.
Roasting bags
When using a roasting bag, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
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.

Preparing food for grilling
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
melted butter can be brushed onto
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.
Grilling on the rack
Pre-heat the grill for
approx. 5 minutes with the oven
door shut. Do not select or switch on
the microwave function during this

Testing to see if cooked
One way of finding out how far through
a piece of meat has been cooked is to
press down on it with a spoon.
–If there is very little resistance to the
pressure of the spoon, it will still be
red on the inside ("rare").
–If there is some resistance the inside
will be pink ("medium").
–If there is great resistance, it is
throughly cooked through ("well
done").

–When using red meat, pat the meat dry before Fan Grilling as this encourages a
richer colour.
–Note: all temperatures are approximations and must be varied according to the
thickness and preparation of the meat. The chart below is a suggested guide
only. Personal taste and size of serves will vary times and temperatures. We
recommend you monitor cooking results for best outcomes.

Function
ßDefrost P
The air in the oven is kept at room
temperature and circulated by the fan
to gently defrost frozen food.
Shelf level
^Place the food to be defrosted on the
glass tray or into a suitable dish.
Small pieces of poultry can be placed
on an upturned saucer in the glass tray.
This way it will not be lying in defrosted
liquid.
^Depending on the size of the food
being defrosted select the 1st or 2nd
shelf level from the bottom.
Defrosting times
The time needed for defrosting
depends on the type and weight of the
food, and at what temperature it was
deep frozen. The following chart is for
guidance only. It is important to
manually check the food to ensure it is
thoroughly defrosted.
Chicken, 800 g.........90–120min.
Meat, 500 g ............60–90min.
Meat, 1000 g ..........90–120min.
Sausage, 500 g .........30–50min.
Fish, 1000 g ............60–90min.
Strawberries, 300 g ......30–40min.
Cake, 500 g ............20–30min.
Bread, 500 g ...........30–40min.
Useful tips
,It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the
liquid from the defrosted poultry.
Pour it away, and wash the tray, the
sink and your hands. Danger of
salmonella poisoning.
Fish does not need to be fully defrosted
before cooking.
Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently
soft to take herbs and seasoning.
,Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
Defrosting without microwave power
61

,Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Clean the oven interior, inside of the
door and door seal as soon as it has
cooled down. Waiting too long can
make cleaning unnecessarily
difficult and in some cases
impossible.
In certain circumstances, very heavy
soiling can even damage the
appliance.
Oven interior
,The oven interior can get hot
during use. Danger of burning.
The oven interior is made from
stainless steel which has been treated
with a special finish called
PerfectClean. This finish has an
iridescent appearance. Perfect-Clean
surfaces have very good anti-stick
properties and are easy to clean.
However, it is important to clean the
surfaces each time the oven is used.
The surfaces will become harder to
clean and the anti-stick properties will
deteriorate if soiling is not removed
after each use and allowed to build-up
If the oven is used frequently without
being cleaned, it may become very
difficult or even impossible to get clean
again.
Normal soiling
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.
Clean the surfaces with hot water and a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
well wrung-out soft sponge.
Cleaning is easier if a little washing-up
liquid is applied to the soiling and left to
soak in for a few minutes before
cleaning.
If necessary, the reverse of a non-scrat-
ching washing-up sponge can be used.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water. The water must run off the
surface easily. Any residual cleaning
agents will hinder this effect.
Heavy soiling
Allow the surfaces to cool down to room
temperature. Apply a proprietary oven
cleaning spray (such as from Miele's
CareCollection), and leave to take effect
for a maximum of ten minutes only.
When using the Original Miele oven
cleaner, the time stated on the packaging
can be slightly extended if needed.
If necessary, the scouring pad on the
back of a non-scratch washing-up
sponge or a soft nylon brush can be
used to loosen the soiling. Repeat the
process if necessary.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water and then dry thoroughly.
These cleaning tips will help to assure
that the surface is cleaned thoroughly
and remains undamaged.
Cleaning and care
62

The following cause lasting damage
to the surface structure and reduce
the anti-stick effect and must not be
used on PerfectClean surfaces:
–Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
–Cleaning agents for ceramic
cooktops
–Wire wool or metal scourers
–Abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents
– Oven spray must not be used in a
hot oven or left on for too long
– Spot cleaning using mechanical
cleaning agents
Note:
–Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures are best removed whilst the
oven or tray is still warm. Exercise
caution, make sure the oven is not
too hot - danger of burning.
–Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting
discolouration to the surfaces. This
discolouration is permanent but will
not affect the efficiency of the
enamel. Clean these following the
instructions given above and do not
use force to remove them.
– To neutralise odours in the oven, put
a container of water with some lemon
juice in the oven and simmer for a
few minutes.
Cleaning and care
63

Oven interior roof
If the oven interior roof is badly soiled,
the grill element can be lowered to
make cleaning easier.
,Make sure the oven heating
elements are switched off and cool.
Danger of burning.
^To lower the grill element, the nut
needs to be unscrewed.
^Lower the grill element gently.
Do not use force! This can damage
the element.
^After cleaning the grill element, raise
it gently back up again. Refit the nut
and tighten to secure the grill
element back in position.
Cleaning and care
64

Door interior and door seal
,The oven interior can get hot
during use. Danger of burning.
Clean the front using a damp microfibre
cloth or with a clean sponge and a
solution of hot water and washing-up
liquid. Wipe the surfaces dry using a
soft cloth.
,Check the door and door seal at
regular intervals for any sign of
damage.
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.
Glass surfaces are susceptible to
scratches. Scratches can cause
glass surfaces to break.
When cleaning glass surfaces do not
use:
–Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
–Hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers
–sharp metal scrapers.
Appliance front
Remove any soiling on the front of
the appliance straight away. Soiling
that is left too long is harder to
remove, and the surface could
become discoloured or altered.
Clean the front using a damp microfibre
cloth or with a clean sponge and a
solution of hot water and washing-up
liquid. Wipe the surfaces dry using a
soft cloth.
The external surfaces of this
appliance are all susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass
surfaces could even cause a
breakage in certain circumstances.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
external surfaces.
Cleaning and care
65

Avoid damage to the surface. To
prevent damage to your appliance
when cleaning, do not use:
–Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
