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.
Tip: These products and others can be
ordered through the Miele Webshop.
They can also be ordered from Miele
(see end of this booklet for contact
details) or from your Miele dealer.

Caring for the environment
7
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
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, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.

8
This appliance complies with current safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, 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 the home and in
similar environments, for example
– in shops, offices and similar work settings
– 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 of above 2000m.
 The microwave oven is intended for domestic use only to cook,
defrost and to reheat food. Any other use is not permitted.
 Do not use the microwave oven to store or dry items which could
ignite easily. If such items were dried in the microwave oven, the
moisture in the item would evaporate causing it to dry out and even
self-ignite. Never use the microwave oven to store or dry items which
could ignite easily.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 This microwave oven can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they are supervised whilst using it. They may only use it
unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way.
They must be able to recognise and understand the consequences
of incorrect operation.
 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
a Miele authorised person or by Miele Service.
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
potential risks of improper use.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the microwave
oven. Never allow children to play with the appliance.
 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children could become
entangled in packaging (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their
head and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children.

Warning and Safety instructions

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 service 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.
