 The oven compartment is fitted with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by
a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service
Department.
Safety with children
 Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the
appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged eight and older may only use the microwave oven
without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe
manner. Children must be able to recognise and understand the

Technical safety
 A damaged appliance could be dangerous. Check the appliance
for visible signs of damage. Do not use the appliance if it is
damaged.
 If the electrical connection cable is faulty, it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised technician to protect the user from danger.
 Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if
– the appliance door is warped.
– the door hinges are loose.
– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven
interior walls.
 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the microwave oven will endanger
your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the
appliance housing under any circumstances.
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Compare this before
connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician
if in any doubt.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use them to
connect the appliance to the mains.
 The electrical safety of this microwave oven can only be
guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective
earthing system. It is essential that this standard safety requirement
is met to avoid the risk of damage or electric shock. If in any doubt,
please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.

Warning and Safety instructions

 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has
been built in.
 Unauthorised or incorrect repairs can cause considerable danger
to users. Repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised
technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department.
 While the microwave oven is under warranty, repairs should only
be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise
the warranty is invalidated.
 The microwave oven must be disconnected from the mains power
supply during repairs or cleaning and maintenance. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– the plug has been disconnected from the back of the appliance or
the appliance has been switched off at the wall socket and the plug
withdrawn.
Pull by the plug and not by the mains connection cable to
disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off.
– the mains screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable).
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare
parts.
 If the appliance is installed behind a kitchen furniture door, it may
only be used with the furniture door open. Do not close the furniture
door while the appliance is in use. Heat and moisture can build up
behind the closed furniture door. This can result in damage to the
appliance and furniture unit. Leave the furniture front/door open until
the appliance has cooled down completely.
 The appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions

 Reliable and safe operation of this microwave oven can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
 Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.
The time required for this depends a number of factors, such as the
nature of the food, its initial temperature and the amount to be
cooked and recipe variations.
Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed
by thorough cooking at temperatures over 70°C for a minimum of
10minutes. Therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry,
it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through. If in any
doubt that a sufficiently high temperature has been reached,
continue reheating for a little longer.
 It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing a
sufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be added
to the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking. During the
standing time the temperature is distributed evenly in the food.
 Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting
in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with
traditional methods of cooking food.
Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and
burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. Fire hazard. There is
also a danger of fire if breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., are dried in
the microwave oven. Do not dry these items in the microwave oven.
 Cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender
or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy can ignite when heated
even after they have been removed from the microwave oven. Do not
heat these up in the microwave oven. Fire hazard.
 The microwave 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 from the appliance. Fire hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 The appliance can be damaged if it is used without food being
placed in it or if it is incorrectly loaded. Therefore do not use the
appliance to preheat crockery or to dry herbs or similar items.
 Always ensure that food or a suitable microwave browning dish
has been placed in the microwave oven and that the turntable is in
position before switching on.
 Pressure can build up when reheating in sealed containers,
causing the container to explode. Never cook or reheat food or
liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be taken off.
 Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. Although
heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the
microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to
the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot.
The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving,
always check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it
out of the microwave. The temperature of the container is not an
indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is
particularly important when preparing food for babies, children,
and the elderly or infirm. After reheating food, especially food for
babies and small children, stir the food or shake the container and
check that the temperature does not pose any danger. Double check
after it has been left to stand.
