Warning and Safety instructionsUseGeneral notesAlways ensure that food issufficiently cooked or reheated.Many factors will affect the overallcooking time, including the size andamount of food, its initial temperature,changes to recipe and the shape andsize of cooking container.Some foods may containmicro-organisms which are onlydestroyed by thorough cooking,therefore when cooking or re-heatingfoods, e.g. poultry it is particularlyimportant that food is fully cookedthrough (at temperatures of over 70°Cfor more than 10 minutes). If in doubt,select a longer cooking or reheatingtime.It is important that the heat is allowed tospread evenly throughout the foodbeing cooked. This can be achieved bystirring and/or turning the food, and byobserving a sufficiently long standingtime, which should be added to thetime needed for cooking, reheating ordefrosting.Always remember that cookingtimes using microwave power areusually considerably shorter than withtraditional methods of food preparation(Fan plus, Auto Roast, Grill, Fan Grill).Excessively long cooking times canlead to food drying out and burning, orcould even cause it to catch fire. Do notuse the microwave function to drybreadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, grain etc.Use the Fan plus function for this typeof procedure and do not leave the ovenunattended.10Do not use the microwave functionto heat up cushions or pads filledwith cherry kernels, wheat grain,lavender or gel, such as those used inaromatherapy. These pads can ignitewhen heated even after they have beenremoved from the appliance.Exercise caution when cooking orreheating food with a high sugarcontent, e.g. Christmas pudding. Ifheated for too long the sugar maycaramelise or ignite. Always ensure thatthis type of procedure is supervised.Do not use full power to warmempty dishes. The lack of food orincorrect loading could cause damageto the appliance.Do not leave the oven unattendedwhen cooking with oils and fats asthese can be a fire hazard if allowed tooverheat.If smoke occurs in the oven, toavoid fuelling any flame do notopen the oven door. Switch theappliance off by pressing the ON/OFFselector, switch off at the mains socketand remove the plug from the socket.Do not open the oven door until thesmoke has dispersed.Only use the Miele roast probesupplied with this appliance.If a replacement is necessary it can beobtained from the Miele Spare PartsDepartment or your Miele dealer.When not in use do not leave theroast probe in the oven, especiallywhen grilling.The high temperatures used for grillingcould cause plastic components on theroast probe to melt.

Warning and Safety instructionsNever heat undiluted alcohol in theoven as this can easily ignite.Do not heat up tins in theappliance. Pressure can build upand they may explode, resulting ininjury or damage.Cover any food which is left in theoven to be kept hot, as moisture inthe food could lead to corrosiondamage in the oven. This also preventsthe food from drying out.Try to avoid the interior walls beingsplashed with food or liquidscontaining salt. If it does happen wipethese away thoroughly, to avoidcorrosion on the stainless steelsurfaces.If you wish to leave food in theoven after cooking, e.g. to takeadvantage of the residual heat, do notturn the oven off. Simply select thelowest temperature, and leave thefunction at the position set.Do not switch the appliance off until thefood has been removed. Otherwisemoisture in the oven could lead tocondensation forming on the controlpanel and surrounding kitchen furnitureand drops of moisture collecting underthe worktop.Condensation can:– damage the housing unit / worktop.– lead to moisture damage in the oven.The glass tray and the combi racktake a maximum load of 8 kg.Exceeding this weight limit can causethem damage.Do not lean or sit on an open ovendoor, or place heavy items on it.This could damage the appliance. Theoven door can support a maximum loadof 8 kg.Never place the hot glass tray (orany other hot cooking containers)on a cold surface, such as a tiled orgranite worktop.The glass tray or container could crackor shatter and the worktop surfacecould get damaged. Place it on asuitable pot rest or a wire rack.Do not use a steam-cleaningappliance to clean this appliance.Pressurised steam could reach theelectrical components and cause ashort circuit.Do not use the appliance to heatup the room. Due to the hightemperatures radiated, objects left nearthe appliance could catch fire.When using kitchen appliancesconnected to sockets near theappliance, ensure that the cable cannotget trapped in a hot oven door, whichcould melt the cable insulation and bedangerous.11

Warning and Safety instructionsMicrowave functionBefore serving, remember to allowa sufficient standing time and thenalways check the temperature of thefood after taking it out of the oven. Thetemperature of the container is not anindication of the temperature of thefood or liquid in it. When heating foodand drink, remember that the heat iscreated in the food itself and that thecontainer will normally be cooler. Thedish is only warmed by the heat of thefood.This is particularly important whenpreparing food for babies, children,and the elderly or infirm.Always stir or shake baby milk and foodafter heating it up, and taste it first tomake sure it is not too hot.Never cook or reheat food orliquids in sealed containers, jars orbottles.With baby bottles, the screw top andteat must be removed. Otherwisepressure builds up which can causethe bottle or container to explodeposing a severe risk of injury.When heating liquids, the boilingrod provided should always beplaced into the container.When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,using microwave heat without theboiling rod, the boiling point of theliquid may be reached without theproduction of typical bubbles. Theliquid does not boil evenly throughout.This so-called 'boiling delay' can causea sudden build up of bubbles, when thecontainer is removed from the oven orshaken. This can lead to the liquidboiling over suddenly and explosively.Danger of burning.The formation of bubbles can be sostrong that the pressure forces the ovendoor open. The user could be injuredand the appliance damaged.The boiling rod ensures that the liquidboils evenly and that bubbles form atan early stage during the operation.12

Warning and Safety instructionsDo not use any containers orcutlery made from or containingmetal, aluminium foil, lead crystalglassware, temperature-sensitiveplastics, wooden utensils or cutlery,metal clips or wire ties. Do not usebowls with milled rims, or cream potswith the tinfoil lid only partially removed.Such items could be damaged orcause a fire hazard.The combi rack supplied with theappliance must be used with theglass tray. It is designed to becompatible with microwaves and cantherefore be used with the microwavefunction. Do not place it on the ovenfloor.N.B. It gets hot when using themicrowave function. Danger of burning.Do not leave the oven unattendedwhen reheating or cooking food indisposable containers made of plastic,paper or other inflammable materials.Before using single use containersmake sure they are suitable for use inmicrowave ovens. See appropriatesection.Eggs can only be cooked in theirshells using microwave heat in aspecially designed egg-boiling deviceavailable from specialist shops.Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should notbe reheated using microwave heat asthis may lead to the eggs exploding,even after they have been taken out ofthe oven.Eggs can be cooked without theirshells using microwave heat only ifthe yolk membrane has beenpunctured several times first. Thepressure could otherwise cause theegg yolk to explode. Danger of injury.Do not reheat food in the oven inheat-retaining bags which areintended for use in normal ovens.These heat-retaining bags usuallycontain a thin layer of aluminium foilwhich reflects microwaves. Thisreflected energy can, in turn, cause theouter paper covering to become so hotthat it ignites.Food with a thick skin or peel, suchas tomatoes, sausages, jacketpotatoes and aubergines, should bepierced or cut in several places to allowsteam to escape and prevent the foodfrom bursting.Ovenproof earthenware can retaina considerable amount of moisture.Earthenware and porcelain containerswith hollow handles and lid knobs mustonly be used with the microwavefunction if they have vent holes, whichallow the moisture to escape. Withoutvent holes there can be a pressurebuild-up, causing the container to crackor shatter, with the danger of injury.To check food temperature, firstinterrupt the cooking process.Then use a thermometer specificallyapproved for food use to measure thetemperature of the food. Never use athermometer containing mercury orliquid, as these are not suitable for usewith very high temperatures and willbreak very easily.13

Warning and Safety instructionsTraditional oven functions:Fan plus, Auto roast, Grill, Fan grillCaution. Danger of burning.When the oven is being used as atraditional oven it can get very hot.Great care should be taken toensure that small children do nottouch the oven when it is being used.Children's skin is far more sensitive tohigh temperatures than that of adults.External parts of the oven such as thedoor glass, vents, handle and fasciapanel can become quite hot.Danger of burning.Wear oven gloves when placingfood in the oven, turning it orremoving it. When the Grill is beingused, either solo or in a combinationprogramme, the element becomes veryhot and there is a danger of burning.Wait until the grill element hascooled down before lowering it forcleaning. Danger of burning! Do notuse force to lower it as this can cause itto break.In countries where there are areaswhich may be subject to infestationby cockroaches or other vermin, payparticular attention to keeping theappliance and its surroundings in aclean condition at all times.

Theduration and power level can bechanged.16

Functions and featuresSafety featuresSystem lockThis safety feature prevents functionsbeing entered unintentionally (see"Settings - Safety").Safety cut-outA process using a traditional ovenfunction can be started withoutprogramming in a time. To preventover-use and the consequent danger offire, the appliance switches offautomatically after a certain length oftime. This can be between 1 hour and10 hours depending on the functionand temperature chosen.If the microwave is switched off inbetween using two microwave cookingprocesses, there will be a delay ofabout 30 seconds before the newsetting is accepted. Therefore wait ashort while before starting the secondprocess.Energy saving functionsDoor contact switchIf the door is opened during aprogramme, the heating element andfan are automatically switched off.The programme will continue to runagain as soon as you shut the door andconfirm "Start". If the door is openedduring a conventional programme, i.e.one without microwave power, theprogramme will continue to run againas soon as the door is shut. You do notneed to start it again.Making use of residual heatWith Fan plus and Auto roast theheating shuts off automatically if theambient temperature is sufficient tofinish cooking the food and the doorhas not been opened. Whenever heat islost, e.g. if the door is opened, theheating will switch on againautomatically.Optional oven interior lightingYou can turn off the oven interiorlighting if you do not want it to remainon during the entire cooking process.17

Operating modesMicrowave functionMicrowave cooking offers the benefitsof speed, convenience and nutritionaladvantages when food does not requirebrowning or crisping.The following power levels can beselected:80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W,850 W and 1000 W.How does the microwave ovenfunction?In a microwave oven there is ahigh-frequency tube called amagnetron. This converts electricalenergy into microwaves. Thesemicrowaves are distributed evenlythroughout the oven interior andrebound off the metal sides of the oveninterior to reach the food from all sides.In order for microwaves to reach thefood, they must be able to penetratethe cooking utensil being used.Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,glass, cardboard and plastics, but notmetal. Do not, therefore, use utensilsmade of metal, or which contain metal,for example in the form of gold or silvertrim. The metal reflects the microwavesand this could lead to the creation ofsparks. The microwaves cannot beabsorbed.Microwaves pass through a suitablecontainer and find their way directly intothe food.All food contains moisture moleculeswhich, when subjected to microwaveenergy, start to oscillate 2.5 thousandmillion times a second. The frictioncaused by this vibration creates heat,which first starts developing around theoutside of the food and then slowlypenetrates towards the centre.The moisture, fat and sugar content offood will affect the speed at which it iscooked.As heat is produced directly in thefood,– food can generally be cookedwithout adding much liquid orcooking oil.– cooking, reheating and defrosting ina microwave oven is quicker thanusing conventional methods.– nutrients, such as vitamins andminerals, are generally retained.– the colour, texture and taste of foodare not impaired.Microwaves stop being produced assoon as the cooking process isinterrupted or the appliance door isopened.When the appliance is in operation, theclosed, sealed door preventsmicrowaves escaping from theappliance.18

Operating modesTraditional oven functionsThis oven offers the following traditionaloven functions:– Fan plus– Auto roast– Grill– Fan grillThese cook and brown the food.Fan plusThis system works by the circulation ofheated air.A fan in the back wall draws in the air,heats it over a heater element andblows it back into the oven cavitythrough the carefully spaced openingsin the back panel.The oven does not usually need to bepre-heated as the heated air reachesthe food straight away. Pre-heating maybe necessary for foods such as puffpastry and yeast mixtures where instantheat is required to make them risequickly.When using Fan plus, you can bakeand roast on two different levels at thesame time.Auto roastAfter the selected temperature isentered, the oven heats initially to ahigh temperature which seals the meatto keep it succulent and tasty. The oventemperature is then automaticallyreturned to the pre-selected settingafter this initial boost of heat.GrillThe grill is ready for use when it glowsred a few minutes after being switchedon. Pre-heat the with the oven doorclosed for approx. 5 minutes beforestarting to cook. Grill with the oven doorclosed.Fan grillThe hot air from the grill is distributedover the food by the fan on the backwall of the oven. This enables a lowertemperature to be selected than fornormal oven grilling. Pre-heat the withthe oven door closed for approx. 5minutes before starting to cook. Grillwith the oven door closed.19

Operating modesCombination programmes– Microwave + Fan plus– Microwave + Auto roast– Microwave + Grill– Microwave + Fan grillThe combination programmes enablefood to be reheated and cookedquickly with even browning results.The combination programmes enablethe grill or the fan setting to be used inconjunction with the microwave facility.The Microwave + Fan plus combinationprogramme is the most effectivebecause the heat reaches the food tobe baked or cooked immediately,giving the greatest savings in both timeand energy.In general when using the combinationprogrammes, you should not set themicrowave power level higher than150 W for baking, and not higher than450 W for cooking, roasting and grilling.Automatic programmes– Defrosting– Reheating– CookingFood can be cooked, reheated ordefrosted using microwave power orcombination programmes. Automaticprogrammes are dependent on weight,i.e. after selecting the appropriate foodgroup, you then enter the weight of thefood and the microwave power settingand time will be calculatedautomatically.20

Suitable containers for microwave ovensMicrowaves– are reflected by metal,When using microwave power youshould always place the food / dishcentrally on the glass tray and slidethe tray into the first shelf level fromthe bottom. Placing the dish on thefloor of the oven will giveunsatisfactory and uneven results.Material and shapeThe material and shape of containersused affect cooking results and times.Heat distribution is more even in roundand oval shaped flat containers than inrectangular containers, providing betterresults.Metal– pass through glass, porcelain,plastic and card,– and are absorbed by food.Metal containers, aluminium foil andmetal cutlery, or china with metallicdecoration such as gold rims orcobalt blue must not be used inmicrowave mode.The metal reflects the microwaves,hindering the cooking process.Exceptions:– If recommended by the producer,pre-cooked meals in aluminium foilcontainers can be defrosted andreheated in the appliance usingmicrowave power. Important:Remove the lid first.However, as food is only heated fromthe top it is better to remove the foodfrom the aluminium foil container andtransfer it to a dish suitable for amicrowave oven. The heatdistribution will be more even.38

Suitable containers for microwave ovensDo not place aluminium foilcontainers on the metal rack as thiscan cause arcing to occur anddamage the oven.– For even defrosting and to avoidovercooking unevenly shaped cuts ofmeat, poultry or fish, small pieces ofaluminium foil may be used to maskwing-tips or other thin parts for thelast few minutes of the process.Make sure that the aluminium foil isat least 2 cm from the oven walls atall times. It must not touch the walls.– Metal meat skewers or clampsshould only be used if they are verysmall in comparison to the size of thecut of meat.The combi rack supplied with theappliance is suitable for use withmicrowave power. However, it must notbe placed on the oven floor.The rack can get hot.GlasswareHeat-resistant glass or ceramic glassare ideal for use in the microwave oven.Crystal glass contains lead whichcould cause the glass to crack.Glass dishes with a milled rim aresubject to the same risk.Both are unsuitable.PorcelainPorcelain is a suitable material.Do not use porcelain with gold orsilver edging or items with hollowknobs or handles, as insufficientventilation may cause pressure.EarthenwareDecorated earthenware is only suitableif the decoration is beneath an all-overglaze.Earthenware can get very hot, andmay crack.Glazes and coloursSome glazes and colours containmetals which make them unsuitablefor use in a microwave oven.39

Suitable containers for microwave ovensPlasticsPlastics must only be used withMicrowave Solo. They must beheat-resistant to a minimum of110 °C. Otherwise the plastic maymelt and fuse with the food.Special plastic utensils designed foruse in microwave ovens are availablefrom good retail outlets. Whenpurchasing plasticware, make sure thatit is suitable for use in a microwaveoven.Melamine is not suitable for use in thisoven. Melamine absorbs microwaveenergy and gets hot.Plastic boiling bags can be used forcooking and reheating.They should be pierced beforehand sothat steam can escape. This prevents abuild-up of pressure and reduces therisk of the bag bursting.Roasting bags and tubesRoasting tubes should be about 40 cmlonger and roasting bags about 20 cmlonger than the food being roasted, andcarefully tied with string. Turn the endsover and secure them. The bag shouldbe pierced according to themanufacturer's instructions.Do not use metal clips, plastic clipscontaining metal parts or paper tiescontaining wire.There is a danger that they will ignitewhen heated.WoodWooden dishes are not suitable.Moisture contained in the woodevaporates when exposed tomicrowave energy, causing the wood todry and crack.Disposable containersOnly those plastic disposablecontainers which are specified by themanufacturer as suitable for use in amicrowave oven may be used.Disposable containers, such as traysmade from polystyrene, can only beused for very short timed warming andreheating the food.Do not leave the oven unattendedwhen reheating or cooking food indisposable containers made ofplastic, paper or other inflammablematerials.Disposable containers are not alwaysrecyclable or bio-degradable.40

Suitable containers for microwave ovensTesting dishes for theirsuitabilityIf in doubt as to whether glass,earthenware or porcelain plates ordishes are suitable for use in amicrowave oven, a simple test can beperformed:^ Place the empty container centrallyon the glass tray and slide into thelowest shelf level.^ Close the door.This test cannot be used to checkwhether items with hollow knobs orhandles are suitable for use withmicrowave power.A microwave oven process cannotbe started until the door is closed.^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor to call upthe main menu.^ Select Microwave.The highest microwave power level isthen highlighted (1000 W).^ Confirm with "OK".^ Enter a duration of 30 seconds andconfirm with "OK".If a crackling noise is heardaccompanied by sparks during thetest, switch off the appliance immediatelyby touching the ON/OFFsensor.Any crockery which causes thisreaction is unsuitable for use withmicrowave power.If any doubt exists about thesuitability of containers, pleasecontact the supplier.41

Suitable containers for microwave ovensA cover– prevents too much steam escaping,especially when cooking foods whichneed longer to cook, such aspotatoes.– speeds up the cooking process.– prevents food from drying out.– prevents any loss of aroma.– helps keep the oven interior clean.Sealed glass containers, such asjars of baby food must be openedbefore they are placed in the oven.Do not attempt to heat them upunopened.Do not use a cover if– food coated with breadcrumbs isbeing cooked.– cooking meals which are to be givena crisp finish.– using a combination programme.The cover supplied may only beused in microwave-solo operation.The cover can only withstandtemperatures of up to 110 °C.Higher temperatures generated bygrilling or fan heat could cause theplastic to distort and fuse with thefood.Always use lids or covers made ofmicrowave-safe glass or plastic, or usea clingfilm recommended for use in amicrowave oven, (pierce as instructedby the manufacturer).Unsuitable clingfilm can melt into thefood.The cover must not create a sealover the container. If the cover isused with a container which only hasa narrow diameter, condensationmay not be able to escape throughthe holes in the cover. The covercould get too hot and could start tomelt.42

DefrostThe microwave function can be used todefrost food gently and quickly.The following settings arerecommended as a general guide:– 80 Wfor defrosting very delicate food, e.g.cream, butter, gateau and cheese.– 150 Wfor defrosting everything else.The appropriate automatic programmesare ideal for defrosting.See the chart on the next page fordefrosting durations.^ Remove the food from its packagingand place it in a microwave-safecontainer.^ Place the container centrally on theglass tray and slide into the lowestshelf level.If defrosting a large quantity, e.g. 2 kgof fish, you can place the food directlyon the glass tray and then slide it intothe lowest shelf level.Important when using an automaticprogramme for defrosting:When defrosting a large amount of foodwhich has been wrapped in individualportions, enter a lower total weight thanthe actual total weight.This will give a more even result.Example:1.5 kg sliced steak packed into3 individual 500 g portionsEnter weight as: 1000 g instead of1500 gTurn, stir or separate the food abouthalf-way through the defrosting time.The automatic programme has anaudible tone which sounds as areminder.After defrostingAllow the food to stand at roomtemperature long enough to allow thetemperature to spread evenlythroughout the food.43

We do not recommendheating or reheating foods or drinksfor babies or young children in themicrowave oven. Any decision to dothis is the responsibility of the user,and should only be done with theutmost care. Pasteurised orsterilised cooked food should begently heated using 450 watts, andtasted to make sure it is not too hotfor a baby’s palate before serving.When reheating other food or drink,heat to a high temperature and allowto cool to a suitable heat for eating.For formula milk follow themanufacturer’s instructions.The appropriate automatic programmesare also ideal for reheating.Always use a lid or cover for reheatingfood, except when a drier finish isneeded, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.Always remove the lids from jars,e.g. jars of baby food.Remove the rubber teat and screwcap before warming baby bottles.When reheating liquids, place theboiling rod supplied with theappliance into the cup or glass.Never reheat hard boiled eggs usingmicrowave power, even without theshell. The eggs can explode.The time required depends largely onthe nature of the food, the amount andits initial temperature. Food takenstraight from the refrigerator takeslonger to reheat than food stored atroom temperature.Always ensure that food issufficiently reheated.If in any doubt that a sufficiently hightemperature has been reached,continue reheating for a little longer.Stir or turn food from time to time duringreheating.With the automatic programme abuzzer sounds as a reminder. Stir thefood from the outside towards themiddle, as food heats more quicklyfrom the outside.45

ReheatAfter reheatingBe careful when removing a dishfrom the oven. It may be hot.Although heat is not normally producedin the container itself by themicrowaves (apart from stoneware),heat transfer from the food to thecontainer may be considerable, makingthe container itself hot.Allow food to stand for a few minutes atroom temperature once a programmehas ended to allow the heat to bedistributed evenly.After reheating food, especially foodfor babies and small children, stirthe food or shake the container andcheck that the temperature does notpose any danger. Double checkafter it has been left to stand.46

CookingMicrowave, traditional and combinationprogrammes are all suitable forcooking.MicrowaveThis method is suitable for cookingcasseroles as well as dishes with pasta,rice and semolina etc. which needwater to help them swell up.First select 850 W to bring the food upto a boil and then turn the power leveldown to 450 W to continue cooking orto 150 W for simmering.Fan plusThis method is recommended forcooking and steaming food such aspotatoes and vegetables.Microwave + Fan plusThis method is useful when you want toshorten cooking times and have abrowned finish to the dish.Microwave + GrillThis method is good for cooking foodwhich needs a well cooked top orbrowned finished to it, such asmacaroni cheese or pasta tuna bake.MicrowavePlace the food in a microwave-safe dishand cover it.Place the dish on the glass tray andslide into the lowest shelf level.Add a little water to vegetables whichhave been kept stored. Vegetablecooking times depend on the texture ofthe vegetable. Fresh vegetablescontain more water than vegetableswhich have been stored and usuallycook more quickly.Food taken straight from the refrigeratorrequires longer to reheat than foodstored at room temperature.Stir and turn food at least once duringcooking. With the automaticprogramme a buzzer sounds as areminder.Food with a thick skin or peel, such astomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoesand aubergines, should be pierced orcut in several places to allow steam toescape and prevent the food frombursting.Similarly, hard-boiled eggs shouldnot be cooked using microwavepower as this may lead to the eggsexploding, even after they havebeen taken out of the oven. Eggscan, however, be cooked usingmicrowave power if you havepurchased special containersdesigned for this purpose.Eggs can be cooked without their shellsusing microwave power only if the yolkmembrane has been punctured severaltimes first. The pressure couldotherwise cause the egg yolk toexplode.48

CookingFan plus^ Slide the glass tray with the combirack into the first shelf level from thebottom.The following containers are suitable:Ovenproof glass, china andearthenware pots with heat-resistanthandles and knobs.Cover dishes which are to be cooked intheir own juice and/or steam, e.g.potatoes or vegetables. This alsoprevents the food from drying out.Where a crisp finish is required e.g. formeat, cook without a lid.Combination programmes^ Place the dish on the glass tray andslide into the lowest shelf level.Only use heat-resistant,microwave-safe crockery. No metal.Generally you can cook without a lidwhen using the combinationprogrammes.Never use a lid when using Microwave+ Grill!

Defrosting and Reheating / CookingFor simultaneous defrosting andreheating or cooking the followingfunctions are suitable:– Microwave– Microwave + GrillMicrowave is suitable for defrostingand then reheating or cooking deepfrozen ready made meals which you donot wish to brown.Microwave + Grill is suitable for readymade meals which also need to bebrowned.MicrowaveDeep frozen ready made meals can bedefrosted and then reheated or cooked.Please follow instructions given on thepacket.Remove the food from its packagingand place in a covered microwave-safedish for defrosting and reheating orcooking. Soups, stew and vegetablesshould be stirred several times duringthe process. Carefully separate andturn slices of meat halfway through theprogramme. Turn pieces of fish at thehalfway stage.Deep-frozen ready made meals in cardtrays which, according tomanufacturer’s instructions, are suitablefor use in a normal oven, are normallyalso microwave-safe.Combination programmeSelect Microwave + Grill for cookingready made meals, which are to becrisped and browned. Select amicrowave power level of 450 watts.The grill temperature is automaticallyset and cannot be changed.Put the ready made meal in a heatresistant, microwave-proof dish, andplace on the glass tray. Slide the glasstray into the second shelf level. Do notcover.Ready made meals in aluminium dishesmust be placed directly on to the glasstray.If this does not brown the food as muchas you would like, next time put the dishon the rack, and slide this together withthe glass tray into the first level from thebottom.52

GrillingThis oven offers several grill settings:Grill, Fan Grill, Microwave + Grill andMicrowave + Fan Grill.Grill is suitable for flat items such ascutlets, steak, burgers, toast etc.Fan grill is suitable for grilling thickcuts, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.In the Combination programmesmicrowave power output is limited to450 W for the entire duration of theprogramme.Preparing food for grillingRinse meat under cold running waterand then pat dry. Do not season meatwith salt before grilling as this drawsthe juices out. Add a little oil ifnecessary. Do not use other types of fatas they can get too dark, burn andcause smoke. A little butter can beadded to chicken if desired.Clean flat fish and slices of fish in thenormal way. To enhance the taste add alittle salt or squeeze a little lemon juiceover the fish.GrillingThe grill temperature cannot be altered,the grill is either on or off.Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minuteswith the oven door shut before grilling.Do not engage microwave powerduring the pre-heating phase.Brush the rack with oil and place theprepared food on the rack.It is best to grill food of a similarthickness at the same time so that thegrilling time for each item does not varytoo greatly.Place the rack on the glass tray andslide into the second or third shelf levelfrom the bottom, depending on the typeof food you are grilling.The rack can be used either way up toachieve the best distance from the grillelement.Most items should be turned half waythrough cooking.Fan grillIt is usually best to use the lowest shelflevel. The rack can be used either wayup. Using the rack with the raisedsection facing upwards allows morespace underneath the food for hot air tocirculate. If necessary you can use thesecond shelf level from the bottom, forinstance where the meat is not too thickor large.Test to see if cookedOne way of finding out how far througha piece of meat has been cooked is topress down on it with a spoon:– If there is very little resistance to thepressure of the spoon, it is still red onthe inside ("rare").– If there is some resistance the insidewill be pink ("medium").– If there is great resistance, it isthroughly cooked through ("welldone").53

RoastingThe following settings are suitable forroasting:– Auto roast– Microwave + Auto roastUse Auto roast to give meat or poultrya crisp browned finish.Select the combination programme tocook in a shorter time.The combination programme is notusually suitable for cooking roast beefor fillet steak. The centre would be toowell cooked before the exterior isbrowned.Put meat or poultry into the ovenwithout pre-heating.Exception: Pre-heat at the temperaturesuggested when cooking beef and beeffillet.Cooking in a covered pot is highlyrecommended:– the meat stays succulent,– the oven interior stays cleaner thanwhen roasting on the rack.– this ensures that sufficient stockremains for making gravy.Half way through the cooking timeremove the lid from the pot if browningthe meat.Auto roastSlide the glass tray with the combi rackinto the first shelf level from the bottom.Roasting pots with a lid, made fromearthenware, cast iron, ovenproof chinaor glass, and roasting foil are suitable.Make sure that the pot and lid haveheat-resistant handles.Place the dish directly on the glass tray.The roasting time will depend on thetype of meat, the size and thickness ofthe cut, and can be calculated asfollows:The traditional method is to calculate 20mins per lb plus 20 mins over.The larger the roast, the lower thetemperature to be selected. For cutsabove 3 kg select a temperatureapprox. 10 °C lower than that given inthe roasting chart. Roasting will takelonger at the lower temperature, but willbe more even.To roast on the rack place the rack withthe raised side upwards on the glasstray and set the temperature 20°C lowerthan for pot roasting.Do not select a higher temperature thanthat advised. This would brown, but notcompletely cook the meat.55

RoastingMicrowave + Auto roastSlide the glass tray with the rack intothe first runner level from the bottom.Use only heat resistant pots, with nometal in the pot or lid. Microwavescannot penetrate metal to reach thefood in the pot.If using roasting foil– cut the foil approx. 40 cm longer thanthe piece of food– and tie carefully. Make sure the pot,foil and ties are suitable formicrowave use.After selecting an Auto roasttemperature, select a microwave settingfor the total cooking time of:– 300 W for roasting meat or fish,– 150 W for roasting poultry.After the roasting process isfinishedTake the roast out of the oven, wrap inaluminium foil and leave to stand forabout 10 minutes. This helps retain thejuices when the meat is carved.Useful hintsRoasting in a covered potSeason the meat and place in the pot.Add some knobs of butter or margarineor baste with a little oil or cooking fat.Add about 1/8 litre of water whenroasting a big lean joint of meat (2-3 kg)or roasting poultry with a high fatcontent.Browning only occurs towards the endof the roasting time. 15 - 20 minutesbefore the end of roasting time take thelid off the pot.Roasting on the rackAdd a little fat or oil to very lean meat orplace a few strips of streaky bacon onthe top.Do not add too much liquid to the trayduring cooking as this will hinder thebrowning process.Please note that open roasting can giverise to excessive smoke.The temperature required can be set20°C lower than for pot roasting.Roasting poultryFor a crisp finish, baste the poultry tenminutes before the end of cooking timewith slightly salted water.Frozen meatDeep frozen meat should be thoroughlydefrosted before roasting.56

Using the roast probeThis appliance is supplied with a roastprobe, which enables the roastingprocess to be monitored simply andreliably.The tip of the probe is pushed into thecentre of the meat where it measuresthe core temperature continuously.When the pre-selected coretemperature is reached, the ovenheating is switched off automatically.The roast probe can be used with thefollowing functions:– Auto roast– Fan plus– Microwave (Solo and combinationprogrammes)Using the roast probe^ Prepare the meat in the usual way.^ Insert the probe into the meat untilthe tip of the probe reaches thecentre of the meat.Please note:You can place the meat in a pot or onthe rack on the glass tray. Roastingbags or foil may also be used. Insertthe probe through the foil or bag intothe centre of the meat.If fat or bone come into contact with theprobe, this can lead to the oven beingswitched off too early. Therefore:– do not let the probe touch anybones.– do not insert it into a particularly fattyarea of the meat.If the meat is very heavily marbled withfat, select the highest core temperaturegiven in the roasting chart.The roast probe should not be usedwith poultry or fish. Because of theamount of bone and cavity space it isdifficult to find a good place to insertthe probe.57

Using the roast probe^ Place the food in the oven.^ Insert the plug of the roast probe intothe socket until you feel it engage.^ Close the door.^ Select the required function.The recommended oven tempterature(e.g. 160 °C) and the recommendedcore temperature of 60°C will appearin the display.^ Alter the recommended oventemperature if necessary^ Call up and change the "Coretemperature".The core temperature required willdepend on what is being roasted. Seethe Roasting chart for suggestedtemperatures.Once the programme has started, thecore temperature rise can be followedin the display.The cooking duration is calculatedautomatically.As soon as the core temperatureselected has been reached– the "Programme finished" messagewill appear in the display.– the audible tone will sound. (See"Settings - Buzzer tones" for detailson how to alter the tone).– the oven will switch itself offautomatically.– the cooling fan will continue to run fora while.NoteYou can also delay the start of theprogramme.When finished, cover the meat withaluminium foil and allow to stand forapprox. 10 minutes. During this timethe core temperature rises another5 – 10°C.You may need to insert the probe in adifferent place and start again, if:– the cut of meat was too large (3 kg ormore) for the probe to be insertedright to the centre.– the meat is not sufficiently roasted toyour taste.The duration for roasting meat bytemperature using the probe is similarto the duration when cooking by time.58

BakingThe following settings are suitable forbaking:– Fan plus– Microwave + Fan plusFan plus is suitable for baking smallcakes, swiss roll and pastries.Microwave + Fan plus is suitable fordoughs which require longer baking,such as rubbed in and beaten mixtures,yeast recipes and cheesecake.not be as good as with darknon-reflective tins.Baking times should not be set toolong. This can lead to the cake etc.drying out.Microwave + Fan plusFan plusCake tins should be placed on the firstshelf level from the bottom. Place therack with the raised section facingupwards in the glass tray. This ensuressufficient air circulation all around thetin.When baking flat items such as biscuitsyou should select the second shelf levelfrom the bottom to ensure evenbrowning results.When baking on two levels at the sametime select the second and third shelflevels from the bottom.Any heat-resistant material is suitablefor baking in.Thin-walled and bright, non-reflectivemetal tins can be used, but results may^ Slide the glass tray into the 1st shelflevel from the bottom, and place thebaking container on it.For preference use ovenproof glass orceramic baking dishes, as microwavescan penetrate these materials into thefood being cooked. Metal tins wouldreflect microwaves so that they wouldonly reach the cakes from the top,resulting in a longer cooking time.Metal baking tins can also causesparking. Place the tin on the glass tray,and make sure it does not touch theinterior walls.If sparking continues, do not use this tinagain in microwave combination mode.Do not use paper based containerscoated with aluminium foil, such asare sometimes provided with packetcake mixes. There is the danger ofthese catching fire.60

BakingSwitch on the microwave setting for thetotal cooking time. The microwavesetting should not be higher than150 W.Tips on bakingTemperature settings, times andmicrowave power settings in theBaking Chart are suggestions only.Select an average temperature andtime for first attempts and adaptaccordingly.Place cakes in rectangular tins withthe longer side across the width of theoven for optimum heat distribution andeven results.Eating food which has been cookedcorrectly is important for goodhealth.Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etcuntil they are golden brown. Do notallow them to become dark brown.To achieve even results withoutover-browning the food . . .. . . when baking cakes, pastries, deepfrozen foods such as chips, croquettes,frozen pizza, baguettes etc.– always select the lowest temperaturegiven in the recipe/cookinginstructions on the packaging.Do not set a temperature higher thanthat recommended. Increasing thetemperature may reduce the cookingtime, but will lead to unevenbrowning, and unsatisfactorycooking results.– Check if the food is cooked at theend of the shortest time quoted.To check if a cake is ready, insert awooden skewer into the centre.It is ready if the skewer comes outclean, without dough or crumbssticking to it.– Place chips, croquettes and similartypes of food on baking parchment.61

Cleaning and careOven interior and inside of thedoorThe oven interior and the inside ofthe door are hot after use.Danger of burning.Wait until the interior, inside of thedoor and the door seal have cooleddown before cleaning them. Cleanthe oven at regular intervals,perferably after each use. Waitingtoo long can make cleaningunnecessarily difficult and in somecases impossible.In certain circumstances, very heavysoiling can even damage theappliance.Check the oven interior, door and doorseal at regular intervals for any sign ofdamage.If any damage is noticed, the ovenshould not be used again inmicrowave mode until the fault hasbeen rectified by a servicetechnician.The oven interior is stainless steel. Thehigh temperatures possible whenoperating in a traditional oven modecan cause the steel to darken slightly.Clean the oven interior, inside of thedoor and door seal using warm waterwith a little washing-up liquid appliedwith a soft spong or cloth. Wipe drywith a soft cloth.For more heavy soiling, heat a glass ofwater for 2 to 3 minutes until the waterbegins to boil. The steam will collect onthe walls and soften the soiling. Theoven interior can now be wiped cleanusing a little washing-up liquid ifnecessary.If food has burnt on, use a mildnon-abrasive cleaner or a proprietarycleaner for stainless steel, applied witha non-scouring kitchen sponge.Do not use abrasive cleaning agentsas the material is susceptible toscratching.Do not use sharp metal tools toclean glass as these can scratch thesurface.If using an oven spray, themanufacturer's instructions must befollowed. Do not spray into any ofthe openings.Do not use too much water on the clothor sponge and do not let water or anyother substance find its way into anyopenings.To neutralise odours in the oven, put acup of water with some lemon juice inthe oven and simmer for a few minutes.Residues of fruit juices as well as cakemixtures are best removed while theoven is warm.Spilt fruit juices may cause lastingdiscolouration to the surfaces.63

Cleaning and careOven interior roofIf the oven interior roof is badly soiled,the grill element can be lowered tomake cleaning easier.Wait until the grill element hascooled down before lowering it toavoid the danger of being burnt.^ To lower the grill element loosen andthen remove the nut.^ Lower the grill element gently.Do not use force to lower theelement as this could break it.^ After cleaning the grill element, raiseit gently back up again. Refit the nutand tighten to secure the grillelement back in position.Appliance front^ All surfaces and controls should becleaned using an E-Cloth or withwarm water with a little washing upliquid applied with a soft sponge orcloth.^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a softcloth.Clean the door handle and the controlelements regularly, preferably aftereach use.This will help prevent grease and otherdeposits adhering to surfaces andbecoming difficult to remove.E-ClothA micro-fibre "E-Cloth" is available fromthe Miele UK Spare Parts Department,which is suitable for cleaning surfacessuch as stainless steel, glass, plasticand chrome without the use ofchemicals.Glass surfacesGlass surfaces are susceptible toscratches and abrasions.Avoid:– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.powder cleaners and creamcleaners,– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourersor sponges which have beenpreviously used with abrasivecleaning agents,– sharp metal tools,– oven sprays.64

Cleaning and careAluminium fronted appliancesAluminium is affected by the way thatlight falls on it, by the surroundingenvironment and by the angle youobserve it from.Aluminium surfaces and controlsmay suffer discolouration or damageif soiling is left on them for too long.Remove any soiling straight away.Aluminium surfaces are susceptible toscratches and abrasion.Avoid:– cleaning agents containing soda,acids or chlorides,– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.powder cleaners and creamcleaners,– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourersor sponges which have beenpreviously used with abrasivecleaning agents,– stainless steel cleaners,– cleaning agents containingdescaling agents,– dishwasher detergent,– oven sprays.Stainless steel fronted appliancesStainless steel surfaces are susceptibleto scratches and abrasion.Stainless steel surfaces can be cleanedusing a Miele E-Cloth or with aproprietary non-abrasive cleaningagent designed specifically for use onstainless steel.Avoid:– cleaning agents containing soda,acids or chlorides,– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.powder cleaners and creamcleaners,– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers,or sponges which have beenpreviously used with abrasivecleaning agents.To help prevent re-soiling, aconditioning agent for stainless steelsuch as Neoblank (available from theMiele Spare Parts Department) can alsobe used.Apply sparingly following themanufacturer's instructions on thepackaging.65

Cleaning and careAccessories suppliedCombi rackWash and dry the rack after each use.Remove stubborn soiling with astainless steel cleaner.Glass traysThe glass trays can be washed in hotwater and washing up liquid, or in thedishwasher.Do not use scouring agents. Thesewould scratch.Boiling rodThe boiling rod can be washed in adishwasher.Roast probeThis should be wiped clean with adamp cloth only.Do not put the roast probe intowater, or clean it in the dishwasheras this would damage it.66
