Accessories supplied
Cover
The cover supplied must only be used
with Microwave Solo mode. It prevents
the food from drying out and the oven
from becoming dirty, and it accelerates
the heating process.
Grilling rack
The grilling rack can be used for all
functions with and without
microwave power, except for
Microwave Solo mode.
To avoid the grilling rack being used
inadvertently with Microwave Solo
mode, it should not be stored inside the
microwave oven.

Guide to the appliance

Gourmet plate
The gourmet plate is a round, non-stick
grilling plate. It can be used to heat
snacks or small meals quickly whilst
maintaining crispness.
Optional accessories
Glass tray
The glass tray is suitable for use with all
cooking functions. It is heat-resistant
and microwave-safe.
When grilling directly on the rack, the
glass tray should be placed underneath
the rack to catch any fat or juices.
Useful tip: These products and others
can be ordered from the Miele online
shop.
They can also be ordered directly from
Miele (see the end of this booklet for
contact details).

Caring for the environment
7
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
This appliance complies with current safety regulations. However,
inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to
property.
Read the Operating instructions carefully before using the
appliance. They contain important information on the safety,
installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. This prevents
both personal injury and damage to the appliance. Miele cannot be
held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these
instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Correct application
 This microwave oven is intended for use in a home and similar
environments, for example
– in shops, offices and similar work settings
– on farmsteads
– by the guests in hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts and other typical
home settings.
This appliance is not intended for outdoor use.
 Do not use the appliance at altitudes above 2000m.
 The microwave oven is intended for domestic use only to cook,
defrost, and reheat food. Any other use is not permitted.
 If flammable items were dried in the microwave oven, the moisture
in the items would evaporate. This could cause them to dry out and
possibly self-ignite. Never use the microwave oven to store or dry
items which could ignite easily.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 This microwave oven is not intended for use by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision and instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety. They may only use the appliance
unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way.
They must be able to recognise the dangers of misuse.
 This microwave oven is supplied 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
Miele or a Miele authorised technician.
Safety with children
 Children under eight years of age must be kept away from the
appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
 Older children may use the appliance without supervision if its
operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to
use it safely. Children must be able to recognise and understand the
potential risks of improper use.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the microwave oven
and do not let them play with it.
 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become
entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material
away from children.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 Danger of burning! Children's skin is far more sensitive to high
temperatures than that of adults. When grilling with or without the
microwave function, the oven interior, the grill element and the door
will get hot. Do not let children touch the microwave oven when it is
in operation.
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 damaged it must only be
replaced by a Miele authorised service technician in order to prevent
a hazard.
 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 power 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. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
 Do not use multi-socket adapters and extension leads to connect
the microwave oven to the electricity supply. They are a fire hazard
and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
