Technical safety
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance until after installlation,
maintenance or repair work has been
carried out.
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install or attempt to use a
damaged appliance. Danger of injury.
~Do not use the microwave function
of the appliance if
– the door is warped,
– the door hinges are loose,
– holes or cracks are visible in the
casing, the door, the door seal or the
oven interior walls.
Operating the appliance with this type
of damage will result in microwave
leakage and present a hazard to the
user.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly, and
where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~Before connecting the appliance,
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply, otherwise the appliance could
be damaged. Consult a competent
person if in doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
~Never open the casing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
~While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee will be
invalidated.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
–the mains fuse is disconnected,
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
–or it has been switched off at the
isolator or at the wall socket and the
plug has been withdrawn.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a Miele
approved service technician.
~This equipment may only be used in
mobile installations such as ships,
caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment has been carried out by a
suitably qualified engineer.
~In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
Correct use
Caution. Danger of burning.
The oven interior gets very hot when
operating with functions which do
not use microwave power and also
with combination programmes which
do use microwave power.
~Use oven gloves when placing food
in the oven, turning or removing it and
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a
hot oven.
The top heat/grill elements get very hot
when the oven is being used on the
Conventional, Grill, Fan grill, MW+Grill
and MW+Fan grill functions. Danger of
burning.
~Plastic containers must only be used
with Microwave Solo. These melt at
high temperatures, and if used with any
other function the appliance could be
damaged.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its initial temperature, changes to
recipe and the shape and size of
cooking container.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking,
therefore when cooking or re-heating
foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly
important that food is fully cooked
through (at temperatures of over 70°C
for more than 10 minutes). If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

It is important that the heat is allowed to
spread evenly throughout the food
being cooked. This can be achieved by
stirring and/or turning the food, and by
observing a sufficiently long standing
time, which should be added to the
time needed for cooking, reheating or
defrosting.
~Please be aware that using
microwave power will shorten cooking,
reheating and defrosting times
considerably compared to when using
functions without microwave power.
Make sure that you keep to the
recommended grilling times when
using the Grill and Fan grill functions.
However, excessively long cooking
times can lead to food drying out and
burning or could even cause the food
to catch fire.
– Do not use the microwave function to
dry breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs,
grain etc.
– Do not use any functions which use
the grill to heat and crisp up rolls or
bread, or to dry flowers, herbs, grain
etc.
Use the Fan plus function for these
types of procedure and do not leave
the oven unattended.
~Never cover the floor of the oven
with aluminium foil when using the oven
on the Conventional, Bottom heat,
Intensive bake and Fan plus functions.
Never place a cooking container or the
glass tray directly on the floor of the
oven. The resulting build-up of heat can
damage the oven.
~Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or
fats, as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
~Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave, as this can easily ignite.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please
be aware that high temperatures can
cause the alcohol to vaporise and even
to ignite on the hot heating elements.
Alcohol should be burnt off before the
dish is placed in the oven to avoid this
danger. Fire hazard.
~Do not heat up unopened tins or jars
of food in the oven. Pressure can build
up and they may explode, resulting in
injury or damage.
~If smoke occurs in the oven, to avoid
fuelling any flame do not open the door.
Cancel the cooking process by
switching the appliance off, switch off
at the socket and remove the plug. Do
not open the oven door until the smoke
has dispersed.
Warning and Safety instructions

~Moisture in food could lead to
corrosion in the oven interior and
corrosion damage of the control panel,
worktop or housing unit.
–Always cover food when using the
Microwave (Solo) function. After food
has been brought to the boil,
continue cooking it at a lower setting
to avoid excess steam escaping.
–If you wish to complete a cooking
process using the residual heat in
the oven, do not switch the
appliance off. Leave the function
selector at the position set and turn
the temperature selector to the
lowest setting.
– Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot, as this will
prevent it from drying out.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven
could catch fire.
~Do not lean or sit on an open door,
or place heavy items on it. This could
damage the appliance. The door can
support a maximum load of 8 kg.
~Do not use full power to warm empty
dishes or to dry out herbs. Do not use
the appliance without food, or if it is
incorrectly loaded.
~Do not use the microwave function
to heat up cushions or pads filled with
cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or
gel, such as those used in
aromatherapy. These pads can ignite
when heated even after they have been
removed from the appliance.
~Exercise caution when cooking or
reheating food with a high sugar
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If
heated for too long the sugar may
caramelise or ignite. Always ensure that
this type of procedure is supervised.
~The microwave combination oven is
not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting
items.
Items can get extremely hot and there
is a danger of burning when the item is
removed.
~Before serving, remember to allow a
sufficient standing time and then
always check the temperature of the
food after taking it out of the oven. The
temperature of the container is not an
indication of the temperature of the
food or liquid in it as the heat is
directed straight to the food. The
container is only warmed up through
the transfer of heat from the food, and
tends not to become as hot.
Be particularly careful when warming
up baby food that the food does not
get too hot.
Always stir or shake baby milk and food
after heating it up, and taste it first to
make sure it is not too hot.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~Never cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be loosened. Otherwise
pressure builds up which can cause
the bottle or container to explode,
posing a severe risk of injury.
~When heating liquids using
microwave power, the boiling rod
provided should always be placed in
the container.
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc,
using microwave power without the
boiling rod, the boiling point of the
liquid may be reached without the
production of typical bubbles. The
liquid does not boil evenly throughout.
This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause
a sudden build-up of bubbles when the
container is removed from the oven or
shaken. This can lead to the liquid
boiling over suddenly and explosively.
Danger of burning.
The formation of bubbles can be so
strong that the pressure forces the oven
door open. The user could be injured
and the appliance damaged. The
boiling rod ensures that the liquid boils
evenly and that bubbles form at an
early stage during the operation.
~Make sure that you only use
microwave safe containers when using
the Microwave (Solo) function or a
combination programme which uses
microwave power. Observe the
instructions given in "Suitable
containers for microwave ovens".
~Ovenproof earthenware can retain a
considerable amount of moisture.
Earthenware and porcelain containers
with hollow handles and lid knobs must
only be used with microwave power if
they have vent holes which allow the
moisture to escape. Without vent holes
there can be a pressure build-up,
causing the container to crack or
shatter, with the danger of injury.
~Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags which are intended
for use in normal ovens. These
heat-retaining bags usually contain a
thin layer of aluminium foil which
reflects microwaves. This reflected
energy can, in turn, cause the outer
paper covering to become so hot that it
ignites.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~Do not leave the oven unattended
when reheating or cooking food in
disposable containers made of plastic,
paper or other inflammable materials.
Before using single-use containers
make sure they are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. See "Suitable
containers for microwave ovens -
Plastics".
~Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells using microwave heat in a
specially designed egg-boiling device
available from specialist shops.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not
be reheated using microwave power as
this may lead to the eggs exploding,
even after they have been taken out of
the oven.
~Eggs can be cooked without their
shells using microwave power only if
the yolk membrane has been
punctured several times first. The
pressure could otherwise cause the
egg yolk to explode. Danger of inury.
~Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes
and aubergines, should be pierced or
cut in several places to allow steam to
escape and prevent the food from
bursting.
~To check food temperature, first
interrupt the cooking process. Only use
a thermometer specifically approved for
food use to measure the temperature of
the food. Never use a thermometer
containing mercury or liquid, as these
are not suitable for use with very high
temperatures and will break very easily.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele spare parts
and accessories with this appliance. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
~Only use the special Miele food
probe for this microwave combi oven.
If the food probe breaks, it must be
replaced by an original Miele food
probe. If a replacement is necessary, it
can be obtained from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele dealer.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Safety switch-off Afunction without microwave can be started
without selecting a cooking duration. To prevent
overuse and the consequent danger of fire, the
appliance switches off automatically after a certain
length of time. This can be between 1 hour and 10
hours, depending on the function and temperature
chosen.
Ifacombination programme is followed in quick
succession by another combination programme, the
magnetron (which produces the microwaves) cannot
be switched on again until after approx. 10 seconds
have elapsed. For this reason you will need to wait a
short while before starting the second programme.

Energy saving
function
Use
Door contact switch If the door is opened during a cooking programme (with
the exception of Microwave solo), the heating in the oven
and the fan will switch off automatically. As soon as the
door is closed again, the programme will continue.
If you open the door in the middle of a programme that
includes microwave, you must start the programme
again once the door is closed.
Using residual heat This function is activated in a cooking programme that
does not use the microwave and which
– requires a cooking duration to be entered, or where
– the food probe is being used.
Shortly before the end of the cooking programme, the
oven heating switches off automatically providing the
heat in the oven is sufficient to finish the cooking
process. If heat is lost, e.g. because the door has been
opened, the heating elements in the oven will switch on
again automatically.
Lighting The oven lighting is set to switch off 15 seconds after the
start of a cooking programme (default setting). If you
touch a sensor, the light will come on again for another
15 seconds. If you would like the lighting to remain on for
the entire cooking programme, the setting can be altered
(see "Settings - lighting").
Description of power levels

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