~Supervise cooking with grease or
oils. Oils and grease could ignite.
~Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave oven, it can easily ignite.
~If materials inside the oven ignite,
keep the oven door closed to avoid
fueling any flames. Turn the oven off or
disconnect the power supply.
~Cover food stored in the oven
interior. Condensation from food and
drinks could cause corrosion damage.
It also prevents the food from drying
out.
~Spills or stains from food and liquids
containing salt should be immediately
cleaned from the stainless steel interior.
Corrosion may occur.
~If smoke occurs in the oven, to avoid
fueling any flame, do not open the oven
door. Switch the appliance off by
pressing the ON/OFF button, switch off
at the mains and remove the plug from
the socket. Do not open the oven door
until the smoke has dispersed.
~Only use the Miele roast probe
supplied with this appliance. If a
replacement is necessary it can be
ordered from Miele or your Miele
dealer.
~When not in use do not leave the
roast probe in the oven, especially
when broiling. The high temperatures
used for broiling could cause plastic
components on the roast probe to melt.
~When using residual heat to keep
food warm leave the selected function
on and select the lowest temperature.
Do not turn the oven off. Condensation
from food and drinks could cause
damage at the machine or the
countertop and cabinetry. Leaving the
machine on will keep the fan running to
aid in dissipating the condensation.
~The glass tray and combi rack can
support a maximum weight of 17.5 lb (8
kg). These accessories may be
damaged if over strained.
~Do not lean, sit or place heavy items
on the open oven door. The machine
may be damaged.
~Never place the hot glass tray
directly on a cold surface, such as a
tiled or granite countertop. The glass
tray may crack.
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
penetrate live components and
permanently damage the oven or cause
injury.
~Do not operate this appliance if it
has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly or has been damaged
or dropped.
~Do not cover or block any opening
on the appliance.
~This appliance must not be installed
or operated outdoors.
~Do not use this appliance near
water, e.g. sink, wet basement,
swimming pool, etc.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
Do not attempt to operate this oven
with the door open since open-door
operation can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to damage or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the
oven front and the door or allow soil
or cleaner residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is
damaged. It is particularly important
that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent), (2) hinges and
latches (broken or loosened),
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.
~Do not operate the Microwave
empty! The oven will be damaged.
~Items not suitable for use when
using the microwave function or any
combination functions: metal,
aluminum foil, cutlery, dishware with
metal decoration, crystal glass
containing lead, bowls with a knurled
rim, non-temperature safe dishware,
wooden dishware, metal clips, wire
twist ties, food containers with metal
coverings or residues.
Danger of machine damage and fire.
The provided combi rack is specially
designed for use in this oven.
~Do not leave the appliance
unattended when heating food in
disposable, e.g. plastic, paper or other
flammable materials.
See "Selecting cookware".
~Do not use the oven to heat food in
heat retaining packaging, e.g. take-out
food bags.
This packaging contains a thin layer of
aluminum foil which reflects the
microwaves. This reflected energy can
cause the paper layer to ignite.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Before serving food allow a
sufficient standing time. Always check
the temperature of the food itself after
taking it out of the microwave. Do not
judge by the plate temperature. The
heat is created in the food, the dishes
may stay cool to the touch.
~Always check the temperature
before serving heated baby food.
~Use a food thermometer to measure
the foods temperature. Do not use
thermometers containing mercury or
liquids, they are not suitable for high
temperatures and break easily.
~Never cook or reheat food and
liquids in sealed containers or bottles.
Remove the nipple or lid before heating
in the microwave. Built-up pressure
may cause them to burst. Danger of
injuries.
~The combi rack will get hot when
used in the microwave. Danger of
burns.
~When heating liquids, the provided
boiling wand should be placed into the
container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces,
etc., in the oven without the boiling
wand, the boiling point of the liquid may
be reached without the production of
bubbles. The liquid will not boil evenly.
This "boiling delay" can cause a sudden
build up of steam bubbles, when the
container is removed from the oven or
shaken. This can lead to the liquid
boiling over suddenly and explosively.
Danger of burning!
The built-up pressure may force the
oven door open. This could result in
injury or damage. The boiling wand
ensures that the liquid boils evenly and
that steam bubbles form at an early
stage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Eggs must only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device.
Hard-boiled eggs should not be
reheated in the microwave oven. The
eggs may burst, even once they have
been removed from the oven.
~Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave oven only if the
yolk membrane has been punctured
first. The pressure could otherwise
cause the egg yolk to explode. Danger
of injuries.
~Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages and potatoes
should be pierced in several places
before cooking to allow steam to vent
and prevent the food from bursting.
~Do not use dishware with hollow
handles or lid knobs. Moisture can get
into the hollow parts. (The hollow parts
of some dishware can be vented).
Danger of built-up pressure and the
explosion of the hollow parts may
cause injuries.
Solo functions:
Convection Bake, Auto Roast, Broil,
Convection Broil
Caution! Danger of burns!
When using solo functions the oven
interior gets very hot.
~Do not allow children to touch or
play in, on or near the oven when it is in
operation. The oven gets hot at the
oven door glass, the vapor vent, the
handle and the operating controls.
Danger of burns.
~Use pot holders when working with
a hot appliance. Especially the upper
heating element gets extremely hot
when using the functions broil and
convection broil. Danger of burning!
~Allow the heating element to cool
before attempting to lower it to clean
the oven. Danger of burns.
~Do not use force to lower the upper
heating element. It may get damaged.
