8

Correct application

This oven is intended for use in domestic households and similarworking and residential environments.

The oven is not intended for outdoor use.

It is intended for domestic use only to cook food, and in particularto bake, roast, grill, cook, reheat, defrost and dry food. Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could bedangerous.

Danger of burning. Do not use the microwave combination ovento store or dry items which could ignite easily. If such items were dried in the microwave combination oven, themoisture in the item would evaporate causing it to dry out and evenself-ignite.

People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, orlack of experience or knowledge who are not able to use theappliance safely on their own must be supervised whilst using it. They may only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how touse it safely and recognise and understand the consequences ofincorrect operation.


9

Safety with children

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from theappliance unless they are constantly supervised.

Children 8 years and older may only use the oven unsupervised ifthey have been shown how to use it safely and recognise andunderstand the consequences of incorrect operation.

Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the applianceunsupervised.

Please supervise children in the vicinity of the oven and do not letthem play with it.

Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must bekept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, childrencould become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head andsuffocate.

Danger of burning. Children's skin is far more sensitive to hightemperatures than that of adults. External parts of the oven such asthe door glass, control panel and the vents become quite hot duringuse. Do not let children touch the oven whilst it is in use.

Danger of injury. The door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg.Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it. Theycould injure themselves.


10

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can causeconsiderable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance andrepairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

Never use a damaged oven. It could be dangerous. Check it forvisible signs of damage before using it.

Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakageand present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:

– the door is warped,

– the door hinges are loose,

– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oveninterior walls.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safetyrequirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electricalinstallation tested by a qualified electrician.

To avoid the risk of damage to the oven, make sure that theconnection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match themains electricity supply before connecting the oven to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee therequired safety of the appliance (fire hazard).

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it hasbeen built in.

The oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on aship).


11

Tampering with electrical connections or components andmechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can causeoperational faults. Never open the casing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only beundertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise theguarantee is invalidated.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance whengenuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faultycomponents must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

If the connection cable is damaged or if the oven is suppliedwithout a cable, it must be replaced or fitted with a specialconnection cable by a Miele authorised technician (see "Electricalconnection").

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply, e.g. if theoven lighting is faulty (see "Problem solving guide" and "Electricalconnection").

In order to function correctly, the oven requires an adequatesupply of cool air. Ensure that the supply of cool air is not impaired(e.g. by heat insulation strips in the housing unit). Please also ensurethat the cool air supply is not unduly heated by other heat sourcessuch as a solid fuel stove.

If the oven is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),ensure that the door is never closed whilst the oven is in use. Heatand moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and causesubsequent damage to the oven, the housing unit and the floor. Donot close the door until the oven has cooled down completely.


12

Correct use

Danger of burning. The oven becomes hot when in use. Depending on the function being used, you could burn yourself onthe heating elements, oven interior, cooked food or ovenaccessories. Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning orremoving it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.

Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the ovenwhen it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the oven to heat up the room.

Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the ovenunattended when cooking with oil and fat. Do not use the oven fordeep fat frying. Never use water to extinguish ignited oil or fat. Switch the oven offimmediately and then suffocate the flames by keeping the oven doorclosed.

Please be aware that durations when using microwave power areoften considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrostingthan when using functions without microwave power. Excessivelylong cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or couldeven cause it to catch fire.Make sure you keep to recommended grilling times when using thegrill. Do not use Microwave solo for drying items such asflowers, herbs, bread or rolls. Never use functions with the grill forbake-off products such as bread or bread rolls, or for drying flowersor herbs. Use Fan plus for these procedures and monitor theprocess carefully.

If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that hightemperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour cancatch fire on hot heating elements.


13

When using residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the highhumidity and amount of condensation in the oven can causecorrosion in the oven. The control panel, the worktop or the housingunit can also suffer damage. Always cover food when using Microwave solo function. Oncefood is cooked through, use a lower power for continued cooking toreduce the amount of steam produced from the food.When using residual heat do not switch the oven off. Instead set thetemperature to the lowest setting and leave the oven on the selectedfunction. The fan will then remain on automatically and dissipate themoisture.

Food which is stored in the oven or left in it to be kept warm candry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage inthe oven. Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm.

A build-up of heat can cause damage to the enamel on the floorof the oven.When using Conventional heat , Bottom heat , Intensivebake or Fan plus do not line the floor of the oven withanything, e.g. aluminium foil or so-called protective liners. Neithershould you place roasting pans or glass trays directly on the ovenfloor.

It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenlythroughout the food being cooked and that it is hot enough.This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, andobserving a sufficiently long standing time, which should be addedto the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.


14

When heating food and drinks, remember that the heat is createdin the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. Thedish is only warmed by the heat of the food.Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time andthen always check the temperature of the food after taking it out ofthe steam oven. The temperature of the container is not an indicationof the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularlyimportant when preparing food for babies, children, and theelderly or infirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly afterheating, and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald thebaby.

The oven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items. Itemscan get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning when the itemis removed from the appliance.

Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars orbottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed. Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle orcontainer to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.

When heating up liquids, always place a suitable glass rod orutensil into the cup or glass.When boiling and in particular when heating up liquids usingmicrowave power, the boiling point of the liquid may be reachedwithout the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boilevenly throughout. This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause a suddenbuild up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven orshaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly andexplosively. The formation of bubbles can be so strong that thepressure forces the oven door open. Stir liquid before it heats up orboils. Once it has heated up wait for a minimum of 20 secondsbefore removing the container from the microwave oven.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave poweronly if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.


15

Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,even after taking them out of the oven. They can only be cooked in their shells using microwave heat in aspecially designed egg-boiling device available from specialistshops. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated in the microwaveoven either as they too will explode.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacketpotatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or cut in several placesto 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 tomeasure the temperature of the food. Do not use a thermometercontaining mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use withvery high temperatures and break very easily.

Do not use the oven to heat up cushions or pads filled with cherrykernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such as those used inaromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated even after they have beenremoved from the oven.

To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smokeoccurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching theappliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Donot open the door until the smoke has dispersed.

Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use withmicrowave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollowrecesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. Ifthe hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used. However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes inMicrowave mode.


16

Fire hazard. Using Microwave solo or Microwave combinationprogrammes with plastic dishes which are not microwave safe cancause them to melt and damage the appliance. Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal,aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics,wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper coveredwire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with thefoil lid only partially removed (see "Suitable containers for microwaveuse").

For functions without microwave power: plastic containers whichare not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures andcan even damage the oven or catch fire. Only use containers which are declared by the manufacturer asbeing suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer'sinstructions on use.

Do not leave the microwave oven unattended when reheating orcooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper orother inflammable materials. Before using single-use containers make sure they are suitable foruse in microwave ovens. See "Suitable containers for microwave use- Plastics".

Do not heat food up in the oven in heat-retaining bags which areintended for use in normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminiumfoil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn,cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.

The oven can suffer damage when using Microwave solo orCombination programmes if it is empty or incorrectly loaded.For this reason please do not use functions with microwave power topre-heat crockery or to dry herbs. Instead use Fan plus orConventional heat .


17

Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars inthe oven, as pressure will build up in the container, causing it toexplode.

You could injure yourself on the open oven door or trip over it.Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

The door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg. Do not sit on orlean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door andthe oven cavity. The oven could get damaged.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches orother vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance andits surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage whichmay be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be coveredby the guarantee.


18

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a shortcircuit.

Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Donot use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metaltools to clean the door glass.

Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquidscontaining salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly toavoid corrosion to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet.

Accessories

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts withthis appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from othermanufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot acceptliability.

Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it isfaulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele foodprobe.

The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures.Do not use the food probe when using the grill functions (exception:Fan Grill ). Do not store the food probe in the oven if it is not inuse.

Oven controlsThe oven controls are used to operatethe various cooking functions forbaking, roasting and grilling andheating.

They are also used for

– the time of day display,

– a minute minder,

– a timer to automatically switchcooking programmes on and off,

– Automatic programmes,

– creating User programmes,

– settings that can be customised.

Safety features

System lock

The system lock prevents the oven frombeing used unintentionally (see"Settings – Safety").

The system lock will remain activatedeven after an interruption to the powersupply.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan will come onautomatically when a cookingprogramme is started. The cooling fanmixes hot air from the oven cavity withcool room air before venting it out intothe kitchen through vents locatedbetween the appliance door and thecontrol panel.

The cooling fan will continue to run for awhile after a cooking process to preventmoisture building up in the oven, on thecontrol panel or on the oven housingunit. It will switch itself off automaticallyafter a while.

Safety switch-off

A function without microwave can bestarted without selecting a cookingduration. To prevent over-use and theconsequent danger of fire, the oven willswitch itself off automatically after acertain length of time. This can bebetween 1 hour and 12 hoursdepending on the function andtemperature chosen.

If a combination programme isfollowed in quick succession by anotherprogramme using microwave power,the magnetron (which produces themicrowaves) cannot be switched onagain until approx. 10 seconds haveelapsed. Therefore wait a short whilebefore starting the second process.

How it worksIn a microwave combination oven thereis a high-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 penetrate thecooking utensil being used. Microwavescan penetrate porcelain, glass,cardboard and plastics, but not metal.Do not, therefore, use utensils made ofmetal, or which contain metal, forexample in the form of gold or silvertrim. The metal reflects the microwavesand this could cause sparking. Themicrowaves cannot be absorbed.

Microwaves pass through a suitablecontainer and find their way directly intothe food. All food contains moisturemolecules which, when subjected tomicrowave energy, start to oscillate2.5 thousand million times a second.The friction caused by this vibrationcreates heat, which first startsdeveloping around the outside of thefood and then slowly penetratestowards the centre. The moisture, fatand sugar content of food will affect thespeed at which it is cooked. The heat isgenerated in the food itself.

Advantages

– Food can generally be cookedwithout adding much liquid orcooking oil.

– Cooking, reheating and defrosting isquicker than using conventionalmethods.

– 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 inoperation, the closed, sealed doorprevents microwaves escaping fromthe appliance.

Microwave power levelThe following power levels can beselected:80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W,850 W, 1000 W

Suitable containers for microwave use

58

Microwaves are reflected by metal,

pass through glass, porcelain, plasticand card,

and are absorbed by food.

Fire hazard. Non-microwave safedishes can suffer damage or damagethe oven if used with Microwave solo or Microwave combinationprogrammes.

The material and shape of thecontainers used affect cooking resultsand times.Heat distribution is more even in roundand oval shaped flat containers than inrectangular containers, providing betterresults.

Suitable containers formicrowave use

Glassware

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic dishesare ideal for use with microwave power.

Exception: Do not use crystal glassas it contains lead which can crackor shatter with microwave power.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a suitable material.

Exception: Do not use porcelain withgold rims or cobalt blue or items withhollow knobs or handles, asinsufficient ventilation may cause abuild-up of pressure.

Earthenware

Decorated earthenware is only suitableif the decoration is beneath an all-overglaze.

Danger of burning. Wear oven gloveswhen removing earthenware dishesfrom the oven.


59

Plastics

Plastic containers and plasticdisposable containers may only beused for the Microwave solo function if they have been declared assuitable for microwave use by themanufacturer. To protect theenvironment it is best to avoid usingsingle-use containers.

Do not leave the oven unattendedwhen reheating or cooking food indisposable containers made ofplastic, paper or other inflammablematerials.

Plastics must be heat-resistant to aminimum of 110 °C. Otherwise theplastic may melt and fuse with thefood.Plastic containers must only be usedwith Microwave solo . They mustnot be used with Microwavecombination programmes.

– Plastic microwave containers

These are readily available from retailoutlets.

– Styrofoam containers

Disposable containers, such as traysmade from polystyrene, can only beused for very short, timed warming andreheating of food.

– Plastic "Boil-in-the-bag" bags

Plastic boiling bags can be used forcooking and reheating. They should bepierced beforehand so that steam canescape.This prevents a build-up of pressureand reduces the risk of the bagbursting.There are also special steaming bagsavailable which do not need to bepierced. Please follow instructions givenon the packet.

– Roasting bags and tubes

Please follow the manufacturer'sinstructions when using roasting bagsand tubes.

Fire hazard.Do not use metal clips, plastic clipscontaining metal parts, or paper tiescontaining wire. There is a dangerthat they will ignite when heated.

– Melamine containers

Melamine is not suitable for use in thisoven. Melamine absorbs microwaveenergy and gets hot. When purchasingplasticware, make sure that it is suitablefor use in a microwave oven.


60

Unsuitable containers formicrowave use

Dishes with hollow knobs orhandles are not suitable for use withmicrowave power. Moisture whichhas gathered in the hollow recessescan cause pressure to build up andthe item can explode. If the hollowrecess is sufficiently ventilated, theitem could be used. However, we recommend that youdo not use such dishes in Microwavemode.

Metal

Metal reflects microwaves andobstructs the cooking process.

Do not use metal containers,aluminium, foil, metal cutlery and chinawith metallic decoration such as goldrims or cobalt blue with Microwaveprogrammes.

Do not use containers where the foillid has not been completely removedas small pieces of foil can causesparking.

Exceptions:

The rack supplied can be used withmicrowave combination programmesor with oven functions withoutmicrowave power. However, it is notsuitable for use with the MicrowaveSolo function.Do not place the rack directly on thefloor of the oven. Instead, use one ofthe oven shelves.

– Metal bakeware can be used withmicrowave combination programmes.

– Ready-meals in aluminium foil trayscan be defrosted and reheated in theoven as long as the lid is removed.

When using foil trays there is a risk ofarcing or sparks occurring in theoven. For this reason place the foiltray on the glass tray and not on therack.

The foil tray must be at least 2 cmaway from the oven walls. It must nottouch them.

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 use in amicrowave oven. The heat distributionwill be more even.


61

– Pieces of aluminium foil

For even defrosting and to avoidovercooking unevenly shaped cuts ofmeat, poultry or fish, small pieces ofaluminium foil may be used to maskwingtips or other thin parts for the lastfew minutes of the programme.

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 clamps

These should only be used if they arevery small in comparison to the size ofthe cut of meat.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain metaland are therefore unsuitable formicrowave functions.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable.Moisture contained in the woodevaporates when exposed tomicrowave energy, causing the wood todry and crack.

Testing dishes for theirsuitabilityIf in doubt as to whether glass,earthenware or porcelain plates ordishes are suitable for use withmicrowave energy, a simple test can beperformed:

Place the container in the middle ofthe glass tray and slide the tray intoshelf level 1.

Close the door.

Select Microwave solo .

Set the highest microwave powerlevel (1000 W) and a duration of 30seconds.

Confirm with OK and start theprogramme

At the end of the test, the water inthe glass should be hot and the dishcool. If the dish is hot, it would beunwise to use the dish. If a crackingnoise is heard accompanied bysparks during the test, switch theappliance off immediately. Anycrockery which causes this reactionis unsuitable for use with microwavepower. If any doubt exists about thesuitability of a container, pleasecontact the supplier.

This test cannot be used to checkwhether items with hollow knobs orhandles are suitable for use withmicrowave power.


62

Placing the dish in the oven

Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1.

The dish containing the food shouldalways be placed in the middle of theglass tray.

Placing the food directly on the floorof the oven would give unsatisfactoryand uneven results as the microwaveswould not be able to reach the foodfrom below.

CoverA cover:

– prevents too much steam escaping,especially when cooking foods whichneed longer to cook.

– speeds up the cooking process.

– prevents food from drying out.

– helps keep the oven interior clean.

When using the Microwave solofunction always cover the foodwith a lid or cover made ofmicrowave safe glass or plastic.

These are available from retail outlets.

Alternatively, use a clingfilmrecommended for use in a microwaveoven (pierce as instructed by themanufacturer). Heat can cause normalclingfilm to distort and fuse with thefood.


63

The cover can only withstandtemperatures up to 110 °C. Highertemperatures (e.g. those used forgrilling and Fan plus) can cause theplastic to distort and fuse with thefood. The cover should only be usedwith Microwave solo .

The cover should not form a sealwith the container. If the cover isused with a container which only hasa narrow diameter, there might notbe enough room for condensation toescape through the holes in the top.The cover could get too hot andcould start to melt.

Do not use a cover if:

– cooking breaded food,

– cooking food which requires a crispfinish,

– cooking food with a Microwavecombination programme.

Pressure can build up whenreheating in sealed containers,causing the container to explode.Do not cook or reheat food or liquidsin sealed containers, jars or bottles.With baby bottles, the screw top andteat must be removed. Otherwisepressure builds up which can causethe bottle or container to explode,posing a severe risk of injury.

Tips on saving energy

64

Cooking process– Remove any accessories from the

oven that you do not require forcooking.

– Pre-heat the oven only if instructed todo so in the recipe or the cookingchart.

– If possible, do not open the doorduring a programme. If the door isopened during a programme that isnot using microwave power, the heatin the oven automatically switchesoff. The fans continue to operate. Assoon as the door is closed again, theprogramme will continue.

– In general, if a range of temperaturesis given, it is best to select the lowertemperature and to check the foodafter the shortest given time.

– When using functions withoutmicrowave: it is best to use darkbaking tins and containers with amatt finish made from non-reflectivematerials (enamelled steel, oven-proof glassware, non-stick coatedcast aluminium). Shiny materials suchas stainless steel or aluminium reflectheat, preventing it reaching the foodefficiently. Do not cover the oven flooror the rack with heat-reflectivealuminium foil.

– Monitor the cooking duration to avoidwasting energy when cooking. If possible set a cooking duration oruse a food probe.

– Use Fan plus as a lowertemperature can be selected thanwith other functions, because the fandistributes the heat to the foodstraight away.

– Fan grill can be used for a widevariety of food. With Fan grill you canuse lower temperatures than withother grill functions which use themaximum temperature setting.

– Whenever possible you should cookseveral dishes at the same time.Place them next to each other in theoven or on different shelf levels.

– Dishes which you are unable toprepare at the same time should, ifpossible, be cooked one after theother in order to make use of existingheat in the oven.

– Your oven will use as little energy aspossible if you set the time of daydisplay to Time – Display – Off.

– With the factory default settingLighting – On for 15 seconds the oveninterior lighting switches offautomatically after 15 seconds. It canbe switched on again at any time bytouching .

Tips on saving energy

65

– The oven heating will switch offautomatically shortly before the endof a cooking process for which anautomatic switch-off time has beenset or which is using the food probe.Cooking continues using residualheat. The heat in the oven is sufficientto complete the cooking process.Energy save will appear in the display.The cooling fan, and depending onthe function selected also the hot airfan, remain switched on.

– The oven will switch itself offautomatically to save energy if noother action is taken within a certaintime frame after switching it on orafter the end of a cookingprogramme. The time when thishappens will depend on the selectedsettings (function, temperature andduration).

Baking

90

Eating food which has been cookedcorrectly is important for goodhealth.Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc.until they are golden. Do notovercook them.

FunctionsDepending on how the food isprepared, you can use Fan Plus ,Conventional heat , IntensiveBake or MW + Fan plus (see"Overview of functions").

MW + Fan plus is particularlysuitable for dough which requires longerbaking, such as rubbed in, beatenmixtures and yeast recipes, becausethe cooking duration is shortened.

During baking the microwave powerlevel must not exceed 150 W.

BakewareThe choice of bakeware depends onthe oven function.

– Fan plus , Intensive bake : Bakeware made of any ovenproofmaterial is suitable. Light-coloured,thin-walled, non-reflective metal tinscan be used, but results may not beas good as with dark non-reflectivetins.

– Conventional heat : Dark metal, enamel, tin or aluminiumbaking tins with a matt finish, heat-resistant glass or ceramic dishes.Avoid using bright, shiny metal tinsas they give an uneven and poorbrowning result and in some casescakes might not cook properly.

– MW + Fan plus :Only use ovenproof dishes suitablefor microwave use (see "Suitablecontainers for microwave use"), suchas ovenproof glass or ceramic dishesas these allow microwaves throughthem. Metal containers reflect microwavesso food will only cook from above.Cooking durations would therefore belonger and metal tins could alsocause sparking. Place the dish on theglass tray such that it cannot touchthe oven walls. If the dish being usedcauses sparking do not use it forcombination cooking again.

Baking parchment

Place chips, croquette potatoes andsimilar types of food on bakingparchment.

Baking

91

Baking chartsThe data for the recommended functionis printed in bold.

Unless otherwise stated, the durationsgiven are for an oven which has notbeen pre-heated. With a pre-heatedoven, shorten durations by up to10 minutes.

Temperature

You are generally advised to select themiddle duration.

Baking at temperatures higher thanthose recommended may reduce thecooking time, but will lead to unevenbrowning, and unsatisfactory cookingresults.

Duration

Check if the food is cooked at the endof the shortest time quoted. To check ifa cake is ready, insert a wooden skewerinto the centre. It is ready if the skewercomes out clean, without dough orcrumbs sticking to it.

Shelf levels The shelf level on which you place yourfood for baking depends on the ovenfunction and number of trays beingused.

– Fan plus Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1Flat items (e.g. biscuits, tray bakes):Shelf level 2Baking on two levels at once(depending on the depth of the itemsto be baked): Shelf levels 1+3 or shelf levels 2+3

– Conventional heat Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1Flat items (e.g. biscuits, tray bakes):Shelf level 2

– Intensive bake As a general rule, use shelf level 1.

– MW + Fan plus Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1and place the baking container on it.

Tips

– Set the cooking duration. Whenbaking, the oven should not be set tostart a long time off. Otherwise thecake mixture or dough will dry out,and the raising agents will lose theireffectiveness.

– Position rectangular tins with thelonger side across the width of theoven for optimum heat distributionand even baking results.

Functions

Fan plus / Auto roast

Use this programme for roasting meat,fish and poultry that needs to be wellbrowned.

MW + Fan plus , MW + Auto roast

The programme duration is shorter withthese functions.

The following microwave power levelsshould be used throughout roasting:

– For meat and fish: max. 300 W,

– For poultry: 150 W.

These combination programmes arenot suitable for roasting sirloin joints orfillet. The centre would be too wellcooked before the exterior is browned.

DishesPlease take into account the material ofyour bakeware in your choice of ovenfunction:

– Fan plus / Auto roast :Gourmet oven dishes, oven proofceramic dishes and glass dishes.

Make sure that the pot and lid haveheat-resistant handles.

– MW + Fan plus / MW + Auto roast :Dishes must be suitable for use in amicrowave oven, must be heat-resistant and must not have metallids (see "Suitable containers formicrowave use").

Pot roasting

We recommend roasting in coveredoven dishes. Meat will be tender andthere will be sufficient stock for makinggravy. The oven also stays cleaner thanwhen roasting on the rack.

Season the meat and place it in theroasting dish. Dot with butter ormargarine or brush with oil ifnecessary. For large lean cuts of meat(2-3 kg) and fatty poultry add about1/8 litre of water to the dish.

When using a roasting bag, follow themanufacturer's instructions.

Roasting on the rack

Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat orplace a few strips of streaky bacon onthe top.

Do not add too much liquid duringcooking as this will hinder thebrowning process.

Roasting

97

Tips– Browning only occurs towards the

end of the roasting time. Remove thelid about halfway through the roastingtime if a more intensive browningresult is desired.

– At the end of the programme, takethe roast out of the oven, wrap inaluminium foil and leave to stand forabout 10 minutes. This helps retainjuices when the meat is carved.

– For a crisp finish, baste poultry10 minutes before the end of thecooking time with slightly saltedwater.

Roasting

98

Roasting chartsUnless otherwise stated, the durationsgiven are for an oven which has notbeen pre-heated.

Please observe the temperature range,the microwave power level, the shelflevels and the durations. These alsotake the type of cooking container, thesize of the meat and cooking practicesinto account.

Temperature

As a general rule, select the middletemperature given in the chart.If higher temperatures are used, themeat will brown on the outside, but willnot be properly cooked through.

For cuts which weigh more than 3 kg,select a temperature approx. 10 °Clower than that given in the roastingchart.Roasting will take longer at the lowertemperature, but will be more even.

When roasting on the rack, set atemperature approx. 20 °C lower thanfor roasting in a covered oven dish.

Pre-heating

Pre-heating is required when roastingbeef sirloin joints and fillet.

Roasting duration

The traditional British method forcalculating the roasting time is to allow15 to 20 minutes per lb/450 grammes,according to type of meat, plus approx.20 minutes, adjusting the length of timeas roasting proceeds to obtain therequired result. The roasting time canalso be determined by multiplying thethickness of the roast [cm] with the timeper cm [min/cm], depending on the typeof meat:

– Beef/venison: 15–18 min/cm

– Pork/veal/lamb: 12–15 min/cm

– Sirloin/fillet: 8–10 min/cm

Check if the meat is cooked after theshortest duration quoted.

Food probe

The food probe enables the roastingprocess to be monitored simply andreliably.

How it works

The metal tip of the food probe isinserted into the food. There is atemperature sensor in the metal tipwhich measures the core temperatureof the food during cooking. The rise inthe core temperature reflects the extentto which the food is cooked. You canprogramme the core temperature to belower or higher, depending on whetheryou want your meat to be rare, mediumor well done.

A core temperature of up to 99 °C canbe set. Please refer to the Roastingchart and "Low temperature cooking"for the core temperatures applicable fordifferent types of meat.

The duration for roasting meat bytemperature using the probe is similarto the duration when cooking by time.

When to use it

Some Automatic programmes andSpecial applications will prompt you touse the food probe.

You can also use it with your own Userprogrammes and with the followingfunctions:

– Auto roast

– Fan plus

– Conventional heat

– Fan grill

– Microwave solo

– MW * + Auto roast

Important notes about using the foodprobe

Please note:

– You can place the meat in a pot, onthe rack or in the glass dish,depending on the function selected.

– The metal tip of the food probe mustbe fully inserted into the centre of thefood.

– When cooking poultry, insert themetal tip into the thickest part of thebreast. You can find the thickest partof the breast by pressing the areawith your thumb and index finger.

– Do not let the metal tip touch anybones or insert it into a particularlyfatty area of the meat. If fat or bonecome into contact with the probe,this can lead to the oven beingswitched off too early.

– If the meat is very heavily marbledwith fat, select the highest coretemperature given in the Roastingchart.

– When using roasting bags oraluminium foil, insert the probethrough the bag or foil into the centreof the meat. You can also place themeat, with the food probe inserted,inside the foil. Follow the roastingbag / aluminium foil manufacturer'sinstructions.

Using the food probe

Insert the metal tip of the food probefully into the food.


Insert the plug of the food probe intothe socket until you feel it engage.

Close the door.

Select the oven function or Automaticprogramme.

Set the temperature or power level ifnecessary.

Set the core temperature ifnecessary.

The core temperatures cannot bechanged for the Automaticprogrammes.

Roasting

103

You can also delay the start of thecooking programme to a later time.Select the Start at option. In Automaticprogrammes select Start later.

You can estimate approximately whenthe food will be ready as the duration ofthe cooking programme is about thesame as if you were cooking foodwithout using the food probe.

You cannot enter a Duration or Ready attime, as the total cooking duration isdetermined by how long it takes for thecore temperature to be reached.

Tip: If the food is not yet cookedsufficiently, insert the food probe intoanother place and repeat theprogramme.

Low temperature cooking

105

This method is ideal for cooking beef,pork, veal or lamb when a tender resultis required.

First sear the meat all over at a hightemperature on the hob in order to sealit.

Then place the meat in the pre-heatedoven where the low temperature andlong cooking duration will cook it toperfection and ensure it is very tender.

The meat will relax and the juices insidewill start to circulate evenly throughoutthe meat to reach the outer layers. Thiswill give very tender and succulentresults.

Tips

– Use lean meat which has beencorrectly hung and trimmed. Bonesshould be removed before cooking.

– For searing, use a suitable cooking oilor fat that can withstand hightemperatures (e.g. clarified butter,vegetable oil).

– Do not cover meat during cooking.

Cooking takes between 2-4 hoursdepending on the size and weight ofthe meat and on how well cooked youwant it as well as the level of browningrequired.

After cookingBecause the cooking and coretemperatures are very low:

– Meat can be carved straight from theoven. It does not need to rest.

– The cooking result will not beaffected if the meat is left in the ovenafter the programme has finished. Itcan be kept warm until you serve it.

– The meat is an ideal temperature toeat straight away. Serve on pre-heated plates with very hot sauce orgravy to prevent it cooling down tooquickly.

Trays and racks Grill on the rack.

Brush the rack with oil, and place thefood on it. It is best to grill food of asimilar thickness at the same time sothat the grilling duration for each itemdoes not vary too greatly.

Preparing food for grillingTrim the meat. Do not season meat withsalt before grilling as this draws thejuices out.

Add a little oil to lean meat if necessary.Do not use other types of fat as theycan burn and cause smoke.

Clean fish in the normal way. Toenhance the flavour, add a little salt orsqueeze a little lemon juice over thefish.

Take note of the temperature range, theshelf levels and the durations. Thesetake the size of the meat and cookingpractices into account.

Grill level (Grill , MW + Grill )

– Level 3: Thin cuts are cooked quicklywhen placed close to the grillelement.

– Level 2: For a lighter, golden finish,e.g. on gratins and bakes.

– Level 1: Thicker cuts should begrilled further from the grill.

Temperature (Fan grill ,MW + Fan grill )

As a general rule, select the lowertemperature. If higher temperatures areused, the meat will brown on theoutside, but will not be properly cookedthrough.Thin cuts can generally begrilled at 220 °C, thicker cuts at 180–200 °C.

Grilling

110

Pre-heating

Always pre-heat the grill for approx.5 minutes with the door closed.

Do not set a microwave power levelduring pre-heating.

Shelf levels – Grill , MW + Grill :

Use shelf level 2 or 3 depending onthe height of the food.

– Fan grill \, MW + Fan grill :Use shelf level 1 or 2 depending onthe height of the food.

Grilling duration

– Thin pieces of fish and meat usuallytake 6–8 minutes per side.It is best to grill food of a similarthickness at the same time so thatthe grilling duration for each itemdoes not vary too greatly.

– Thicker pieces need about 7–9minutes per side

– With rolled meat, allow approx.10 minutes per cm diameter.

Testing to see if cooked

One way of finding out how well a pieceof meat has been cooked is to pressdown on it with a spoon:

Rare: If the meat gives easily tothe pressure of the spoon,it will still be red on theinside.

Medium: If there is some resistance,the inside will be pink.

Well-done: If there is very littleresistance, it is cookedthrough.

Check if the meat is cooked after theshortest time quoted.

Tip: If the surface of thicker cuts ofmeat is cooked but the centre is notcooked, continue grilling at a lowertemperature setting or use a lower shelflevel to allow the food to cook throughto the centre.

Never use a lid with MW + Autoroast and MW + Grill as thefood will not brown.

Place the glass tray on shelf level 2.

Place ready-meals in aluminium foildishes on the glass tray.

During the defrosting,reheating and cooking process Turn or stir the food several times.

Stir the food from the outsidetowards the middle, as food heatsmore quickly from the outside.

After defrosting, reheating andcookingDuring the standing time thetemperature is distributed evenly in thefood.

Allow the food to stand at roomtemperature for a few minutes toenable the heat to spread evenlythroughout the food.

Danger of burning.After reheating food, especially foodfor babies and small children, stir thefood or shake the container andcheck that the temperature does notpose any danger. Double check afterit has been left to stand. Danger ofburning.

Danger of burning.Be careful when removing dishesfrom the appliance. Although heat isnot normally produced in thecontainer itself by the microwaves(apart from stoneware), heat transferfrom the food to the container maybe considerable, making thecontainer itself hot.Wear oven gloves when removingdishes from the oven.

Always ensure that food is sufficientlycooked or reheated.

If in any doubt that a sufficiently hightemperature has been reached,continue cooking or reheating for alittle longer.

It is very important to make sure thatfood which goes off easily, such asfish, poultry and minced meat iscooked sufficiently.

Use the food probe to monitor thetemperature when reheating orcooking (see "Roasting - Food probe"in the operating instructions suppliedwith the appliance):

Fish minimum 70 °CPoultry minimum 85 °C


115

Tips on reheating

Danger of burning. Food forbabies and children must not be toohot.Heat baby food for only approx.30-60 seconds at 450 W. You canalso use the food probe fortemperature controlled heating.

Pressure can build up whenreheating in sealed containers,causing the container to explode.Do not cook or reheat food or liquidsin sealed containers, jars or bottles.With baby bottles, the screw top andteat must be removed. Otherwisepressure builds up which can causethe bottle or container to explode,posing a severe risk of injury.

Never reheat hard boiled eggs usingthe Microwave solo function even without the shell. The eggs canexplode.

When heating liquids, milk, saucesetc, using microwave power, theboiling point of the liquid may bereached without the production oftypical bubbles. The liquid does notboil evenly throughout.This so-called 'boiling delay' cancause a sudden build-up of bubbleswhen the container is removed fromthe oven or shaken, which can leadto the liquid boiling over suddenlyand explosively. The formation ofbubbles can be so strong that thepressure forces the oven door open.To avoid this, stir liquid beforeheating it up. After heating it up waitfor at least 20 seconds beforeremoving the container from theoven. Placing a suitable glass rod orsimilar utensil in the container canhelp prevent it from boiling over.


116

Tips on cooking

Food with a thick skin or peel, suchas tomatoes, sausage, potatoes andaubergines can burst when heated.Pierce or score the skin of thesetypes of food several times to allowsteam to escape.

Eggs heated in their shells can burst,even after they have been taken outof the oven.Eggs can only be cooked in theirshells using Microwave Solo in aspecially designed egg-boilingdevice.

If you cook eggs without their shellsusing microwave power, the yolkscould explode due to the resultingpressure.Prick the yolk several times beforecooking to avoid this.


117

Use Notes

Defrosting large quantitiesof food at once, e.g. 2 kgfish

The glass tray can be used on shelf level 1 fordefrosting food.

Reheating food Always cover food when reheating it, except whenreheating meat/fish coated in breadcrumbs.

Cooking vegetables Add a little water to vegetables which have beenkept stored. Vegetable cooking times depend on thetexture of the vegetable. Fresh vegetables containmore water than vegetables which have been storedand usually cook more quickly.

Cooking frozen ready-meals

Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can be defrostedand then reheated or cooked in one process. Followthe instructions on the packet.

Tables for defrosting, reheating and cooking food usingMicrowave solo The following notes apply to all charts:

Take note of the recommended microwave power levels, durations and standingtimes. These take the consistency, the quantity and the initial temperature of thefood into account.

You are generally advised to select the middle duration.

Place the food on the glass tray and use shelf level 1.

Cleaning and care

131

Danger of burning.Make sure the oven heatingelements are switched off and thatthe oven cavity is cool.

Danger of injury.The steam from a steam cleaningappliance could reach electricalcomponents and cause a shortcircuit.Do not use a steam cleaner to cleanthe oven.

All surfaces can become discolouredor damaged if unsuitable cleaningagents are used. The front of theoven, in particular, will be damagedby oven cleaners.All surfaces are susceptible toscratching. Scratches on glasssurfaces could cause a breakage incertain circumstances.Remove any residual cleaning agentimmediately.

Stubborn soiling could damage theoven in certain circumstances.Clean the oven interior, inside of thedoor and door seal as soon as theoven has cooled down. Waiting toolong can make cleaningunnecessarily difficult and in somecases impossible.

Check the door and door seal for anysign of damage. If any damage isnoticed, the oven should not be usedagain in Microwave mode until thefault has been rectified by a servicetechnician.

Unsuitable cleaning agentsTo avoid damaging the surfaces, do notuse:

– cleaning agents containing soda,ammonia, acids or chlorides,

– cleaning agents containing descalingagents on the oven front,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

– glass cleaning agents,

– cleaning agents for ceramic hobs,

– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,e.g. pot scourers, brushes orsponges which have been previouslyused with abrasive cleaning agents,

– melamine eraser blocks,

– sharp metal scrapers or tools,

– wire wool,

– stainless steel spiral pads,

– spot cleaning,

– oven cleaner*,

* these can, however, be used toremove very heavy soiling fromPerfectClean treated surfaces.

Cleaning and care

132

If soiling is left for a long time it mightbecome impossible to remove.Continued use of the oven withoutregular cleaning will make it muchharder to keep clean.

Soiling is, therefore, best removedafter each use of the oven.

Only the glass tray is dishwasherproof.

Tips– Soiling caused by spilt juices and

cake mixtures is best removed whilstthe oven is still warm. Exercisecaution and make sure the oven isnot too hot - danger of burning.

– The top heat/grill element can belowered to make it easier to clean theoven.

– To neutralise odours in the oven, puta container of water with some lemonjuice in the oven and heat for a fewminutes.

Normal soiling

Moisture inside the oven can causedamage.Do not use too much water on thecloth or sponge and do not let wateror any other liquid find its way intoany openings.

It is best to remove normal soilingimmediately using a clean spongeand a solution of hot water andwashing-up liquid or with a clean,damp microfibre cloth.

After cleaning make sure all residualcleaning agent is thoroughly removedwith clean water.This is particularly important whencleaning PerfectClean surfaces ascleaning agent residues can impairthe non-stick properties.

After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dryusing a soft cloth.

Cleaning and care

133

Food probe

Do not put the food probe into wateror clean it in the dishwasher as thiswill damage it.Clean the food probe with a dampcloth only.

Cleaning and care

134

Stubborn soiling

Spilt fruit and roasting juices maycause lasting discolouration or mattpatches on enamelled surfaces. Thisdiscolouration is permanent but willnot affect the efficiency of the finish.Do not try to remove thisdiscolouration! Clean these followingthe instructions given here.

Moisten stubborn soiling with asolution of hot water and washing-upliquid and leave for a few minutes totake effect.

You can then also use the scouringpad on the back of a washing-upsponge to remove the soiling.

After cleaning, rinse thoroughly withclean water, and dry with a soft cloth.

Very stubborn soiling on PerfectCleantreated enamel can be cleaned usingMiele oven cleaner. It must beapplied to the surface when cold.Follow instructions on the packaging.

Non-Miele oven cleaner must only beused in a cold oven and for no longerthan a maximum of 10 minutes.

You can then also use the scouringpad on the back of a washing-upsponge to remove the soiling.

After cleaning, remove all ovencleaning agent residues thoroughlywith clean water, and dry with a softcloth.

Cleaning and care

135

Lowering the top heat/grillelementIf the oven interior roof is badly soiled,the top heat/grill element can belowered to make cleaning easier. It isrecommended to clean the oven interiorroof regularly with a damp cloth ordishwashing sponge.

Danger of burning.Make sure the oven heatingelements are switched off and thatthe oven cavity is cool.

To lower the top heat/grill element,the nut needs to be unscrewed.

Use caution not to damage theelement.Do not use force to lower theelement.

Carefully lower the element.

Use caution not to damage the roofliner.Do not use the abrasive side of thedishwashing sponge to clean theroof liner.

Clean the roof of the oven with adamp cloth or a dishwashing sponge.

After cleaning, raise the top heat/grillelement gently back up again. Refitthe nut and tighten to secure theelement back in position.

If the oven still does not recognise the food probe itmust be faulty. A replacement food probe can beordered from Miele or from your Miele dealer.

If the door is openedwhilst using Microwavesolo , the oven stopsmaking a noise.

This is not a fault. If the door is opened whileMicrowave solo is being used, the door contactswitch will turn off the microwave and switch thecooling fan to a lower speed.

A noise can be heardafter a cooking process.

The fan remains switched on after a cookingprogramme (see "Settings - Cooling fan run-on").


138


An abnormal sound canbe heard when the ovenis operating inmicrowave mode.

Metal was used during a programme with microwavepower. Check if there are sparks caused by using metal

dishes (see "Suitable containers for microwaveuse").

The food was covered with aluminium foil during aprogramme with microwave power. If necessary, remove the foil cover.

The wire oven rack was used during a programmewith microwave. Always use the glass tray for programmes with

microwave power.

The oven has switcheditself off.

The oven will switch itself off automatically to saveenergy if no other action is taken within a certain timeframe after switching it on or after the end of acooking programme. Switch the oven back on.

Cakes and biscuits arenot sufficiently baked inthe times given in thechart

A different temperature from the one given in therecipe was used. Select the temperature required for the recipe.

The ingredient quantities are different from thosegiven in the recipe. Double check the recipe. The addition of more

liquid or more eggs makes a moister mix whichwould take longer to cook.

Browning is uneven. The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected. There will always be a slight unevenness. If the

unevenness is pronounced, check that the correcttemperature and shelf level have been selected.

The cookware used was not suitable for theprogramme chosen. Bright shiny tins are not verysuitable. Try using a different tin next time. Thesereflect heat, which means that the heat does notpenetrate to the food effectively, resulting in unevenor poor browning. Dark matt tins are best for baking.


139


The food is notsufficiently heated or isnot cooked at the endof a set duration whenusing microwave power

The oven was not restarted after interrupting acooking process using microwave power. Restart the programme to ensure the food is

heated or cooked properly.When cooking or heating with microwave power, thetime set was too short. Check that the correct duration is selected for the

microwave power level. The lower the microwavepower level the longer the cooking duration.

Food has cooled downtoo quickly after beingreheated or cooked inMicrowave mode.

Microwaves cause food to heat from the outside first.This heat then moves towards the middle of the food.If food is cooked at a high power level it is possiblethat the heat may not have reached the centre of thefood. Food may be hot on the outside but cool in themiddle. During the standing time the food in themiddle will become warmer and that on the outsidewill become cooler. When heating food with different densities, such

as with menu cooking, it is sensible to start with alow power level and select a longer reheatingduration.

The oven lightingswitches off after ashort time.

The oven lighting is set to switch off after 15 seconds(default setting). You can change the default settingfor this (see "Settings - Lighting").


140


The oven lighting doesnot switch on.
