Warning and Safety instructions
5
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 safety,
installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. This prevents
both personal injury and damage to the appliance.
In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in
“Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or 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
 The microwave oven is intended for use in private households.
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
6
 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 appliance is equipped 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 Miele.
Safety with children
 Young children must not be allowed to use the appliance.
 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
7
 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.
 Danger of injury! The oven door can support a maximum weight of
8kg. Children could injure themselves on an open door. Do not let
children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it.
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 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.
 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 due to a missing
or disconnected protective conductor. If in any doubt, please have
the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has
been built in.
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
 Any repairs not performed by a Miele authorised technician will
void the warranty.
 During repairs or cleaning and maintenance, the microwave oven
must be disconnected from the mains power supply. 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.
Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to
disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off.
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable).
 The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must
only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 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 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).
 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
Danger of burning on the grill.
When grilling with or without the microwave function, the
microwave oven will get hot. You could burn yourself on the oven
interior walls, the grill element, food, accessories or the oven door.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it,
and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
 Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.
The time required for this depends on a number of factors, such as
the nature of the food, its initial temperature, the amount to be
cooked and recipe variations.
Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed
by thorough cooking at sufficiently high temperatures (over 70°C) for
long enough (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 durations 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.
