Description of the appliance  
Accessories supplied  
If using a metal baking tin in  
combination mode (Microwave + Fan  
grill or Microwave + Fan heat), do not  
place it on the rack as this could create  
sparks between the rack and the tin.  
Place the tin on the glass tray.  
Side runners  
The side runners can be inserted into  
the oven walls to hold the grilling rack  
and the glass tray. When dishes are  
placed directly on the turntable, the  
microwave can be used without the  
side runners.  
Glass tray  
The glass tray is suitable for use with all  
cooking functions.  
The side runners are supplied as a  
separate accessory, and have to be  
fitted if required.  
When grilling directly on the rack, the  
glass tray should be placed underneath  
the rack to catch any fat or juices.  
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.  
Cover  
The cover supplied may only be used  
in the microwave-solo mode.  
It prevents the food from drying out and  
the oven from becoming dirty, and it  
accelerates the heating process.  
Grilling rack  
Boiling rod  
The grilling rack is suitable for use  
when grilling with the addition of  
microwave power. It must, however,  
not be used in Microwave Solo  
mode as this would cause damage.  
When heating liquids, the boiling rod  
provided should be placed into the  
container. It helps liquids to heat evenly.  
To avoid the risk of using it in  
Microwave Solo mode it should not be  
left in the oven cavity when not in use  
for grilling.

of damage will result in microwave  
leakage and present a hazard to the  
user.  
Keep these instructions in a safe  
place and pass them on to any  
future user.  
Never open the casing of the  
appliance.  
Tampering with electrical connections  
or components and mechanical parts is  
highly dangerous and can cause  
operational faults or electric shock.  
Correct usage  
The appliance is intended for  
domestic use only: to cook,  
defrost, reheat and to grill food. Any  
other usage is not supported by the  
manufacturer and could be dangerous.  
The manufacturer cannot be held liable  
for damage caused by improper or  
incorrect use of the appliance.  
Before connecting the appliance to  
the mains supply, make sure that  
the rating on the data plate

Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not connect the appliance to  
the mains electricity supply by an  
extension lead.  
Extension leads do not guarantee the  
required safety of the appliance (e.g.  
danger of overheating).  
The appliance is only completely  
isolated from the electricity supply  
when:  
- it is switched off at the wall socket and  
the plug removed.  
- the mains fuse is withdrawn.  
- or the screw-out fuse is removed (in  
countries where this is applicable).  
The electrical safety of this  
appliance can only be guaranteed  
when continuity is complete between  
the appliance and an effective earthing  
system which complies with local and  
national safety regulations. It is most  
important that this basic safety  
requirement is present and regularly  
tested. Where there is any doubt, the  
electrical wiring in the home should be  
checked by a qualified electrician.  
The manufacturer cannot be held liable  
for the consequences of an inadequate  
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).  
This equipment may only be used  
in mobile installations such as  
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk  
assessment of the installation has been  
carried out by a suitably qualified  
engineer.  
Use  
Always ensure that food is  
sufficiently heated.  
Many factors will affect the overall  
cooking time, including the size and  
amount of food, its initial temperature,  
changes to the recipe and the shape  
and size of cooking container.  
Some foods may contain  
micro-organisms which are only  
destroyed by thorough cooking,  
therefore when cooking or reheating  
foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly  
important that food is fully cooked  
through (at temperatures over 70°C for  
more than 10 minutes). If in doubt,  
select a longer cooking or reheating  
time.  
The appliance must be built in  
before operation to ensure that no  
electrical components are accessible.  
Repairs may only be carried out by  
a suitably qualified and competent  
person in accordance with national and  
local safety regulations. Repairs and  
other work by unqualified persons  
could be dangerous. The manufacturer  
cannot be held liable for unauthorised  
work.  
Ensure current is not supplied to the  
appliance while maintenance or repair  
work is being carried out.

Warning and Safety instructions  
It is important that the heat is  
allowed to spread evenly  
Do not use full power to warm  
empty dishes. Do not use the  
throughout the food being cooked. This appliance without food, or if it is  
can be achieved by stirring and/or  
turning the food, and by observing a  
sufficiently long standing time, which  
should be added to the time needed for  
cooking, reheating or defrosting.  
incorrectly loaded.  
Never cook or reheat food or  
liquids in sealed containers or  
bottles.  
With baby bottles, the screw top and  
teat must be removed. Otherwise  
pressure builds up which can cause  
the bottle or container to explode  
posing a severe risk of injury.  
Always remember that times for  
cooking, reheating and defrosting  
in a microwave oven are usually  
considerably shorter than with  
traditional methods of food preparation.  
Excessively long cooking times can  
lead to food drying out and burning or  
could even cause it to catch fire. Do not  
use the microwave function to dry  
breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, grains  
etc. Use the fan heat function for this  
type of procedure and do not leave the  
oven unattended.  
Before serving, remember to allow  
a sufficient standing time and then  
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. Shake or stir  
baby milk and food thoroughly after  
heating, and try it for temperature to  
ensure that it will not scald the baby.  
When heating food and drink remember  
that the heat is created in the food  
itself, and that the container will  
Do not use the microwave function  
to heat up cushions or pads filled  
with cherry kernels, wheat grains,  
lavender or gel, such as those used in  
aromatherapy. These pads can ignite  
when heated, even after they have  
been removed from the microwave.  
normally be cooler. The dish is only  
warmed by the heat of the food.  
Exercise caution when cooking or  
reheating food with a high sugar  
content, e.g. Christmas pudding. If  
heated for too long the sugar may  
caramelise or ignite.  
10  
 
Warning and Safety instructions  
When heating liquids, the boiling  
rod provided should be placed into  
the container.  
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not  
open the oven door if smoke  
occurs in the oven interior.  
Interrupt the process (by pressing the  
Stop/C button twice). Switch off at the  
wall socket, and where applicable  
remove the plug. Do not open the door  
until the smoke has dispersed.  
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the  
microwave oven as this can easily  
ignite.  
Do not heat up tins in the  
microwave oven. Pressure can  
build up and they may explode. This  
could result in injury or damage.  
When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc.,  
in the oven without the boiling rod, the  
boiling point of the liquid may be  
reached without the production of  
typical bubbles. The liquid does not  
boil evenly throughout. This so-called  
‘boiling delay’ can cause a sudden  
build up of bubbles when the container  
is removed from the oven or shaken.  
This can lead to the liquid boiling over  
suddenly and explosively. Danger of  
burning.  
Cover any food which is left in the  
oven to be kept hot, as moisture in  
the food could lead to corrosion  
damage in the oven. This also prevents  
the food from drying out.  
Try to avoid the interior walls being  
splashed with food or liquids  
containing salt. If it does happen wipe  
these away thoroughly, to avoid  
corrosion on the stainless steel surface.  
The formation of bubbles can be so  
strong that the pressure forces the oven  
door open. The user could be injured  
and the appliance damaged.  
The boiling rod ensures that the liquid  
boils evenly and that bubbles form at  
an early stage during the operation.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not use any containers or  
cutlery made from or containing  
Eggs can be cooked without their  
shells in the microwave oven only if  
metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal  
glassware, temperature-sensitive  
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery,  
metal clips or wire ties. Do not use  
bowls with milled rims, or cream pots  
with the tinfoil lid only partially removed.  
Such items could be damaged or  
cause a fire hazard.  
The rack and gourmet plate supplied  
with the appliance are designed to be  
compatible with microwaves and can  
therefore be used for grilling with or  
without the microwave function.  
the yolk membrane has been  
punctured several times first.  
The pressure could otherwise cause  
the egg yolk to explode.  
Danger of injury.  
Food with a thick skin or peel, such  
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket  
potatoes and aubergines, should be  
pierced or the skin cut in several places  
before cooking to allow steam to  
escape and prevent the food from  
bursting.  
Do not reheat food in the oven in  
heat-retaining bags which are  
intended for normal ovens. These  
heat-retaining bags usually contain a  
thin layer of aluminium foil which  
reflects microwaves. This reflected  
energy can, in turn, cause the outer  
paper covering to become so hot that it  
ignites.  
Do not use the rack and the  
gourmet plate at the same time.  
This will damage the gourmet plate.  
Always place the gourmet plate directly  
on the turntable.  
Do not leave the oven unattended  
when reheating or cooking food in  
disposable containers made of plastic,  
paper or other inflammable materials.  
Before using single use plastic  
containers, make sure they are suitable  
for use in microwave ovens. See  
appropriate section.  
Always ensure that food, the  
gourmet plate or a browning dish  
has been placed in the microwave, and  
that the turntable is in place, before  
switching on.  
Eggs can only be cooked in their  
shells in the microwave oven in a  
specially designed egg-boiling device  
available from specialist shops.  
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not  
be reheated in the microwave oven as  
this may lead to the eggs bursting,  
even after they have been taken out of  
the oven.  
Do not use the appliance for deep  
frying food and do not leave it  
unattended when cooking with oils and  
fats as these can be a fire hazard if  
allowed to overheat.

a considerable amount of moisture.  
Earthenware and porcelain containers  
with hollow handles and lid knobs must  
only be used in this oven if they have  
vent holes which allow the moisture to  
escape. Without vent holes pressure  
can build-up, causing the container to  
crack or shatter, with the danger of  
injury.  
The gourmet plate gets extremely  
hot when in use. Always use oven  
gloves when handling it to avoid burns.  
Place it on a heat-resistant mat.  
Never place the hot glass tray (or  
any other hot cooking containers)  
on a cold surface, such as a tiled or  
granite worktop. The glass tray or  
container could crack or shatter, and  
the worktop surface could get  
damaged. Use a heat-resistant mat or  
wire cooling rack.  
With all functions, except the  
microwave solo mode, the oven  
interior, grill element, side runners and  
door can get hot! Do not let small  
children touch the oven while it is in  
operation, there is the danger of being  
burnt. Supervise its use by the elderly  
or infirm.  
Do not use the appliance to heat  
up the room. Due to the high  
temperatures radiated, objects left near  
the appliance could catch fire.  
Wear oven gloves when taking  
dishes in and out of the oven, or  
when handling dishes or food in the  
oven if the grill is on or has just been in  
operation. Danger of burning.  
When using kitchen appliances  
connected to sockets near the  
microwave oven, ensure that the cable  
cannot get trapped in a hot oven door,  
which could melt the cable insulation  
and be dangerous.  
Wait until the grill element has  
cooled down before lowering it for  
cleaning. Danger of burning.  
To check food temperature, first  
interrupt the cooking process. Only  
use a thermometer specifically  
approved for food use to measure the  
temperature of the food. Never use a  
thermometer containing mercury or  
liquid, as these are not suitable for use  
with very high temperatures and will  
break very easily.  
Do not use force to lower the  
element as this can cause it to  
break.

Warning and Safety instructions  
Do not use a steam-cleaning  
appliance to clean this appliance.  
Pressurised steam could reach the  
electrical components and cause a  
short circuit.  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Before disposing of your old  
appliance, first make it unusable.  
Switch it off and disconnect it from the  
power supply. Cut off and render any  
plug unusable. Cut off the cable

competent person.  
damage which may be caused by  
cockroaches or other vermin will not be  
covered by the appliance guarantee.  
The manufacturer cannot be held  
liable for damage caused by  
non-compliance with these Warning  
and Safety instructions.  
When using browning dishes:  
Always use oven gloves when  
handling the browning dish to  
avoid burns.  
Never place the browning dish  
directly onto a table or work  
surface. Use a suitable heat-resistant  
mat, grid or board to protect the work  
surface or table and prevent heat  
marks.  
Browning dishes should only be  
used in a microwave oven, or as a  
serving dish.  
In a conventional oven the special  
glaze would suffer damage.

How the microwave oven functions  
How does the microwave oven As heat is produced directly in the  
food,  
function?  
– food can generally be cooked  
without adding much liquid or  
cooking oil.  
In a microwave oven there is a  
high-frequency tube called a  
magnetron. This converts electrical  
energy into microwaves. These  
microwaves are distributed evenly  
throughout the oven interior and  
rebound off the metal sides of the oven  
interior to reach the food from all sides.  
Microwave distribution is improved with  
the turntable engaged.  
– cooking, reheating and defrosting in  
a microwave oven is quicker than  
using conventional methods.  
– nutrients, such as vitamins and  
minerals, are generally retained.  
– the colour, texture and taste of food  
are not impaired.  
In order for microwaves to reach the  
food, they must be able to penetrate  
the cooking utensil being used.  
Microwaves stop being produced as  
soon as the cooking process is  
interrupted or the appliance door is  
opened.  
When the appliance is in operation, the  
closed, sealed door prevents  
microwaves escaping from the  
appliance.  
Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,  
glass, cardboard and plastics, but not  
metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils  
made of metal, or which contain metal,  
for example in the form of gold or silver  
trim. The metal reflects the microwaves  
and this could lead to the creation of  
sparks. The microwaves cannot be  
absorbed.  
Microwaves pass through a suitable  
container and find their way directly into  
the food. All food contains moisture  
molecules which, when subjected to  
microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5  
thousand million times a second. The  
friction caused by this vibration creates  
heat, which first starts developing  
around the outside of the food and then  
slowly penetrates towards the centre.  
The moisture, fat and sugar content of  
food will affect the speed at which it is  
cooked.

Programmes  
What can a microwave oven  
do?  
Fan heat D  
Ideal for baking.  
In the microwave oven, food is cooked,  
reheated or defrosted quickly.  
Combination mode  
(Microwave + Grill)  
You can use your microwave in the  
following ways:  
Ideal for dishes with toppings. The  
microwave cooks the food and the grill  
browns it.  
– Food can be defrosted, reheated or  
cooked by entering a power setting  
and a time.  
Combination mode  
(Microwave + Fan grill)  
– Deep frozen ready-made meals can  
be defrosted and then reheated or  
cooked.  
This combination is particularly suited  
to food which needs to be cooked and  
browned all round.  
– The microwave oven can also be  
used for other tasks, e.g. for proving  
dough, melting chocolate and butter,  
dissolving gelatine etc.  
Combination mode  
(Microwave + Fan heat)  
This combination is ideal for reheating  
and cooking one pot dishes e.g.  
casseroles.  
In what ways can a microwave  
oven be used?  
Automatic programmes  
Microwave-solo mode  
You can choose from the following auto-  
matic programmes:  
Suitable for defrosting, reheating and  
cooking.  
– three automatic defrosting  
Grill n  
programmes (N OM),  
Ideal for grilling thin cuts of meat, e.g.  
steak or sausages.  
– two automatic cooking programmes  
(°Q)  
– two combination programmes  
Fan grill N  
(Q X).  
This function is suitable for cooking  
food which needs to be browned at the  
same time, e.g. thicker cuts of meat  
and pieces of poultry. The fan and the  
browning element work at the same  
time.  
These programmes are weight  
dependent. You enter the weight of the  
food and then the cooking time is  
calculated automatically.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
Microwaves  
Material and shape  
The material and shape of containers  
used affect cooking results and times.  
Heat distribution is more even in round  
and oval shaped flat containers than in  
rectangular containers, providing better  
results.  
Metal  
Metal containers, aluminium foil and  
– are reflected by metal,  
metal cutlery, or china with metallic  
decoration, such as gold rims or  
cobalt blue must not be used in an  
oven being used in microwave  
mode.  
The metal reflects the microwaves,  
hindering the cooking process.  
Exceptions:  
– pass through glass, porcelain,  
plastic and card,  
– Ready-meals in aluminium foil dishes  
These can be defrosted and reheated  
in the microwave oven, if recommended  
by the manufacturer. Important:  
Remove the lid first.  
However, as food is only heated from  
the top it is better to remove the food  
from the aluminium foil container and  
transfer it to a dish suitable for a  
microwave oven. The heat distribution  
will be more even.  
– and are absorbed by food.  
If sparks and arcing occur when using  
an aluminium container, stop and  
transfer the food to a microwave-safe  
container.  
17  
 
 
Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
– Pieces of aluminium foil  
Earthenware can get very hot, and  
may crack.  
For even defrosting and to avoid  
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of  
meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of  
aluminium foil may be used to mask  
wingtips or other thin parts for the last  
few minutes of the programme.  
Glazes and colours  
Some glazes and colours contain  
metals which make them unsuitable  
for use in a microwave oven.  
Make sure that the aluminium foil is  
at least 2 cm from the oven walls at  
all times. It must not touch the walls.  
Plastics  
Plastic containers must only be used  
for microwave mode alone.  
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a  
minimum of 110 °C.  
Otherwise the plastic may melt and  
fuse with the food.  
– Metal meat skewers or clamps  
These should only be used if they are  
very small in comparison to the size of  
the cut of meat.  
Glassware  
Special plastic utensils designed for  
use in microwave ovens are available  
from good retail outlets.  
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass  
are ideal for use in the microwave oven.  
Crystal glass contains lead which  
could cause the glass to crack.  
Glass dishes with a milled rim are  
also subject to this risk.  
When purchasing plasticware, make  
sure that it is suitable for use in a  
microwave oven. Melamine is not  
suitable as it absorbs energy and heats  
up.  
Both are unsuitable.  
Disposable containers, such as trays  
made from polystyrene, can only be  
used for very short timed warming and  
reheating of food.  
Porcelain  
Porcelain is a suitable material.  
Do not use porcelain with gold or  
silver edging or items with hollow  
knobs or handles, as insufficient  
ventilation may cause pressure.  
Plastic boiling bags can be used for  
cooking and reheating.  
They should be pierced beforehand so  
that steam can escape. This prevents a  
build-up of pressure and reduces the  
risk of the bag bursting.  
Earthenware  
Decorated earthenware is only suitable  
if the decoration is beneath an all-over  
glaze.

used. Roasting tubes should be about  
40 cm longer and roasting bags about  
20 cm longer than the food being  
roasted, and carefully tied with string.  
Turn the ends over and secure them.  
The bag should be pierced according  
to the manufacturer’s instructions.  
If in doubt as to whether glass,  
earthenware or porcelain plates or  
dishes are suitable for use in a  
microwave oven, a simple test can be  
performed:  
^ Place the item you wish to test in the  
centre of the oven, fill a suitable glass  
with water and also place this in the  
oven.  
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips  
containing metal parts or paper ties  
containing wire.  
There is a danger that they will ignite  
when heated.  
^ Close the door.  
^ Turn the power selector to 900 watts.  
Wood  
^ Enter a time of 30 seconds with the  
time selector.  
Wooden dishes are not suitable.  
Moisture contained in the wood  
evaporates when exposed to  
microwave energy, causing the  
wood to dry and crack.  
^ Press START.  
At the end of the test, the water in the  
glass should be warm and the dish  
cool. If the dish is hot the water cold it  
would be unwise to use the dish.  
Disposable containers  
Only those plastic disposable

containers which are specified by the  
manufacturer as suitable for use in a  
microwave oven may be used.  
accompanied by sparks during the  
test, switch the appliance off imme-  
diately (press button Stop/C twice).  
Do not leave the oven unattended  
when reheating or cooking food in  
disposable containers made of  
plastic, paper or other inflammable  
materials.  
Any crockery which causes this  
reaction is unsuitable for use in the  
microwave oven.  
If any doubt exists about the  
suitability of containers, please  
contact the supplier.  
Disposable containers are not always  
recyclable or bio-degradable.  
This test cannot be used to check  
whether items with hollow knobs or  
handles are suitable for use in a  
microwave oven.

Suitable containers for microwave ovens  
The cover  
Sealed glass containers, such as  
jars of baby food must be opened  
before they are placed in the oven  
– prevents too much steam escaping,  
especially when cooking foods which  
need longer to cook, such as  
potatoes.  
Do not use a lid or cover if  
– shortens and evens out the cooking  
process.  
– food coated with breadcrumbs is  
being cooked  
– prevents food from drying out.  
– prevents any loss of aroma.  
– cooking meals which are to be given  
a crisp finish.  
– helps keep the oven interior clean.  
The cover supplied may only be  
used in microwave-solo operation.  
The cover can only withstand  
temperatures of up to 110 °C.  
Higher temperatures generated by  
grilling or fan heat could cause the  
plastic to distort and fuse with the  
food.  
Always cover food with the cover  
supplied.  
Alternatively, use lids or covers made of  
microwave-safe glass or plastic, or use  
a clingfilm recommended for use in a  
microwave oven (pierce as instructed  
by the manufacturer).  
Heat can cause normal clingfilm to  
distort and fuse with the food.

Operation  
Starting a programme  
Use the appropriate selector to choose  
the microwave power level and the  
time. It does not matter which is chosen  
first.  
^ Use the time selector to enter the  
required time.  
Any time between 5 seconds and  
60 minutes can be selected. Exception:  
if you select the highest microwave  
setting of 900 W, the maximum time you  
can select is 10 minutes.  
^ Turn the power selector to the  
required level. hlights up in the  
dixplay and 0:00 flashes.  
The time required depends on:  
– the initial temperature of the food.  
Food taken from the refrigerator will  
need longer to reheat or cook than  
food already at room temperature.  
There is a choice of 7 power levels.  
The higher the power level, the more  
microwaves reach the food.  
When heating up food which cannot be  
stirred or turned during cooking, as with  
a plated meal, it is best to use a lower  
microwave power level.  
– the type and texture of the food.  
Fresh vegetables contain more water  
and cook more quickly than stored  
vegetables.  
This ensures the heat is distributed  
evenly. Heat for long enough to cook  
the food properly.  
– the frequency of stirring or turning  
the food.  
Frequent stirring or turning heats the  
food more evenly, and it is therefore  
ready in a shorter time.  
– the amount of food.  
As a general rule, allow approx. time  
and a half for double the quantity.  
For a smaller quantity, possibly  
shorten the time but ensure food is  
cooked thoroughly.

Take care. The grill element  
becomes very hot during the auto-  
matic pre-heating period. Danger of  
burning.  
Thin, flat cuts of fish and meat should  
usually be turned half way through  
grilling for even results. Larger,  
chunkier pieces should be turned  
several times.  
Grilling times depend on the type and  
thickness of the food and on the user’s  
preference for a rare or well-cooked  
result.  
When grilling directly on the rack, the  
glass tray should be placed underneath  
the rack to catch any fat or juices.

Gourmet plate  
Use  
The gourmet plate has an easy to  
clean anti-stick coating so that food  
can be removed easily. The coating,  
like Teflon, is susceptible to cuts and  
scratches. Therefore do not cut food  
up directly on the plate.  
The gourmet plate gets extremely  
hot when in use. Always use oven  
gloves when handling it to avoid  
burns. Place it on a heat-resistant  
mat.  
Use wooden or plastic utensils to  
mix or turn food. Metallic or sharp  
objects can damage the coating.  
Searing / browning food  
^ When using the gourmet plate, make  
sure that the food is ready to transfer  
to the gourmet plate as soon as it has  
heated up.  
Some suggested uses  
Pre-heat the gourmet plate directly on  
the turntable on 900 watts, grill setting  
3, for a maximum of 21/2 minutes.  
^ Place the gourmet plate directly on  
the turntable.  
Fish fingers (frozen)  
150 g + 2 tablespoons oil  
3 - 4 minutes each side  
Do not place it on the rack as this  
could cause sparking and damage  
the gourmet plate.  
Hamburgers  
2 burgers + 2 tablespoons oil  
3 - 4 minutes each side  
^ Heat the plate up on 900 watts, grill  
setting 3, for a maximum of 21/2  
minutes.  
Croquettes (frozen)  
10 -12 + 2 tablespoons oil  
4 - 5 minutes, turn half-way through  
cooking  
If using oil, you can either heat up the  
oil on the gourmet plate, or you can  
heat the oil separately and then add it  
to the plate.  
Fillet steak, approx. 200 g  
Q, 5 minutes each side (according to  
taste)  
Butter, however, should always be  
added after heating up the gourmet  
plate. It has a lower burning point than  
oil and would get too dark or burn if  
added too soon.  
Pizza (frozen) 300 g,  
L, 7 - 9 minutes  
Pizza (fresh), without pre-heating  
L, 15 minutes approx. (depending on  
topping)  
Always dry meat, poultry, fish and

instructions on the packaging.  
Do not set a temperature higher than  
that recommended. Increasing the  
temperature may reduce the cooking  
time, but will lead to uneven  
browning, and unsatisfactory  
cooking results.  
Make use of residual heat by leaving  
the baking in the oven for five minutes  
after the end of the cooking time.  
Eating food which has been cooked  
correctly is important for good  
health.  
– Check if the food is cooked at the  
end of the shortest time quoted.  
To check if a cake is ready, insert a  
wooden skewer into the centre.  
It is ready if the skewer comes out  
clean, without dough or crumbs  
sticking to it.  
Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc  
until they are golden brown. Do not  
allow them to become dark brown.  
Place cakes in rectangular tins with  
the longer side across the width of the  
oven for optimum heat distribution and  
even results.  
– Place chips, croquettes and similar  
types of food on baking parchment.

Reheating  
Select the following microwave power  
settings to reheat food:  
Food taken straight from the refrigerator  
will take longer to reheat than food  
stored at room temperature. The time  
required depends on the nature of the  
food, its initial temperature and the  
amount to be cooked.

Food for babies and toddlers. 450 watts  
We do not recommend heating or  
reheating foods or drinks for babies  
or young children in the microwave  
oven. Any decision to do this is the  
responsibility of the user, and should  
only be done with the utmost care.  
Pasteurised or sterilised cooked  
food should be gently heated using  
450 watts, and tasted to make sure it  
is not too hot for a baby’s palate  
before serving. When reheating  
other food or drink, heat to a high  
temperature and allow to cool to a  
suitable heat for eating. For formula  
milk follow the manufacturer’s  
Always ensure that food is  
sufficiently cooked or reheated.  
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high  
temperature has been reached,  
continue reheating for a little longer.  
Stir or turn food from time to time during  
cooking. Stir the food from the outside  
towards the middle, as food heats more  
quickly from the outside.

instructions.  
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.  
Tips on reheating  
Always use a lid or cover for reheating  
food, except when a drier finish is  
needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.  
Always remove the lids from jars.  
Remove the rubber teat and screw  
cap before warming baby bottles.  
When reheating liquids, place the  
boiling rod supplied with the

appliance into the cup or glass.  
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a  
microwave oven, even without the  
shell. The eggs can burst.  
After heating 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.  
41  
 
 
Cooking  
Place the food in a microwave-proof  
dish and cover it.  
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as  
tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes  
and aubergines, should be pierced or  
the skin cut in several places before  
cooking to allow steam to escape and  
prevent the food from bursting.  
When cooking it is a good idea to  
select a power level of 600 watts to  
start with and then when the food is hot  
reduce the power level to 450 watts for  
more gentle continued cooking.  
Eggs can only be cooked in their  
shells in the microwave oven in a  
specially designed egg-boiling  
device available from specialist  
shops.  
For dishes such as rice or semolina  
pudding first select a power level of  
600 watts and then reduce it to  
150 watts for simmering.  
Eggs can burst, even after they have  
been taken out of the oven.  
Tips on cooking  
Vegetable cooking times depend on the  
texture of the vegetable.  
Fresh vegetables contain more water  
than vegetables which have been  
stored and usually cook more quickly.  
Add a little water to vegetables which  
have been kept stored.  
Eggs can be cooked without their shells  
in the microwave oven only if the yolk  
membrane has been punctured several  
times first.  
The pressure could otherwise cause  
the egg yolk to explode.  
Food taken straight from the refrigerator After cooking  
requires longer to reheat than food  
stored at room temperature.  
Be careful when removing a dish  
from the oven. It may be hot.  
Stir or turn food from time to time during  
cooking to help it will cook more evenly.  
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.  
Ensure that foods such as meat and  
fish are thoroughly cooked for an  
appropriate length of time.  
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at  
room temperature at the end of cooking  
to enable the heat to spread evenly  
throughout the food.

Defrosting / Defrosting and reheating or cooking  
Defrosting  
Defrosting followed by  
reheating or cooking  
Select the following microwave power  
settings to defrost food:  
Deep-frozen food can be defrosted and  
immediately reheated or cooked.  
– 80 W:  
for defrosting very delicate foods,  
e.g. cream, butter, cheese and  
gateaux made with cream or butter

should be left uncovered while cooking.  
Remove the food from its packaging  
and place in a microwave-proof  
container. Do not cover. Turn, stir or  
separate the food about half-way  
through the defrosting time.  
Soups, stew and vegetables should be  
stirred several times during the  
process. Separate slices of meat  
half-way through the programme. Turn  
pieces of meat and fish at the half-way  
stage.  
To defrost meat, unpack the frozen  
meat and lay it on an upturned plate in  
a glass or china container so that the  
meat juice can run off and be collected.  
Turn halfway through defrosting.  
Deep-frozen pre-cooked meals in  
cardboard trays which, according to  
manufacturer’s instructions are suitable  
for use in a conventional oven, are  
microwave-safe.  
Poultry: It is particularly important to  
observe food hygiene rules when  
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and  
wash the container it was in, the sink  
and your hands. Danger of salmonella  
poisoning!  
After defrosting followed by  
reheating or cooking  
Allow the food to stand at room  
temperature for a few minutes to enable  
the heat to spread evenly throughout  
the food.

Cleaning and care  
Disconnect the microwave oven  
from the power supply before  
cleaning (e.g. switch off at the  
socket and remove the plug).  
^ A microfibre E-Cloth is available from  
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department  
which is suitable for cleaning  
surfaces such as stainless steel,  
glass, plastic and chrome without the  
use of chemicals. It can be washed  
300 times.  
Oven interior and door interior  
Do not remove the cover to the  
microwave outlet inside the oven.  
The oven can get hot during use. To  
avoid the danger of being burnt,  
wait until it has cooled down before  
cleaning. It should be cleaned after  
each use. If left too long cleaning  
becomes unnecessarily difficult, and  
in extreme cases impossible.  
Do not let water or any small  
particles penetrate the vents in the  
appliance.  
Wring out cloths before using them  
to wipe out the oven to avoid  
moisture getting into the openings.  
The oven interior and door interior can  
be cleaned using a damp cloth with a  
little washing up liquid or a mild  
detergent and water. Wipe dry with a  
soft cloth.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as  
these scratch the surface.  
For more heavy soiling, heat a glass of  
water for 2 to 3 minutes until the water  
begins to boil. The steam will collect on  
the walls and soften the soiling.  
The oven interior can now be wiped  
clean using a little washing-up liquid if  
necessary.  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaner  
for stainless steel, following the  
instructions given by the manufacturer  
on the packaging.  
To neutralise odours in the microwave  
oven, put a cup of water with some  
lemon juice in the oven and simmer for  
a few minutes.  
45  
 
 
Cleaning and care  
The door and door seal should be kept  
clean at all times and checked at  
regular intervals for any signs of  
damage.  
If any damage is noticed, the  
appliance should not be used until  
the fault has been rectified by a  
Miele authorised and trained service  
technician.  
^ Lower the grill element gently.  
To clean the inside of the oven:  
^ Remove the turntable, and wash in  
the dishwasher or with a spray  
cleaner and rinse in water.  
^ Always keep the roller ring  
underneath it clean as well as the  
oven floor to enable the turntable to  
turn smoothly.  
^ Remove the side runners. Pull the  
bottom of the runners away from the  
side walls and then pull up and out of  
the bracket at the top.  
^ Clean the area between the turntable  
and the carrier.  
The carrier is located in the middle of  
the oven floor and can be removed  
for cleaning.  
^ Refit in the reverse order.  
Wait until the grill element has  
cooled down before lowering it to  
avoid the danger of being burnt.  
Do not turn the carrier manually, as  
this could damage the drive motor.

the food relying on the slower  
conduction of heat.  
^ Set the correct time of day.  
If food is cooked at a high power level,  
it is possible that the heat may not have  
reached the centre of the food, so it is  
hot on the outside but cold in the  
centre. During standing time heat is  
transferred to the centre of the food.  
This may leave the food warm in the
