Dear Reader,
When families come together, it is often
around the dining table and so often
when people enjoy each others'
company, food is at the centre of the
occasion.
We are privileged in being able to
contribute to this by helping you enjoy
your love of cooking. Every day,
knowledge, curiosity, routine and the
unexpected all converge in our Miele
test kitchen.
We have condensed our experience,
passion and pleasure of experimenting
with food into this cookbook by creating
recipes that are as imaginative as they
are successful. We hope that you will
enjoy the results as much as you do the
cooking.
If you have any questions, comments or
requests, please contact us on the
telephone number shown on the back
cover of this book.
Happy cooking from
The Miele test kitchen

Functions
A variety of oven functions are used in
the recipes.
Depending on model, your microwave
combination oven has further
Functions/Special applications, which
are not used in the following recipes.
For information on their use, please
refer to the Operating and installation
instructions.
Automatic programmes c
Depending on model, your microwave
combination oven has a variety of Auto-
matic programmes.
They are all listed under Automatic
programmes c.
Even if the appropriate Automatic
programme is not available, you can
still make all the recipes by using the
alternative settings.
Food probe
A food probe is supplied with some
microwave combination ovens
depending on model.
Further details on its use can be found
in the Operating and installation
instructions.
If your oven does not have a food
probe, use the alternative settings.
Dishes
Depending on function, the dishes
used must be microwave safe and heat
resistant. Please follow the guidance
given in the Operating and installation
instructions about suitable cooking
containers.
Temperatures
Temperatures are given in degrees
Celsius (°C).
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart.
You may need to increase or reduce
the temperature to suit the cooking
dish, quantity or desired level of
browning.
Eating food which has been cooked
correctly is important for good health.
Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc. until
they are golden. Do not overcook them.

Pre-heating
Most dishes can be placed in a cold
oven. They will then make use of the
heat produced during the heating-up
phase.
If pre-heating is necessary instructions
to do so will be given in the settings
charts for the recipe.
The time required for pre-heating is not
included in the overall baking or
cooking duration.
Pre-heating is, however, included in the
programme durations for Automatic
programmes c.
Heating-up phase/
Rapid heat-up
With some functions, if a temperature of
over 100 °C is set, all heating elements
are switched on to bring the oven up to
the desired temperature as rapidly as
possible.
During the Heating-up phase, Rapid
heat-up appears in the display.
If a recipe requires for Rapid heat-up to
be switched off, this will be mentioned
in the settings for that recipe.
Depending on model, select the
"Heating-up phase – normal" or "Rapid
heat-up – Off" option.
