Cleaning and care

							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.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting Miele.
Please note: A call-out charge will be
applied to unnecessary service visits
where the problem could have been
rectified as described in these
operating instructions.
What to do if...
...aprogramme will not start.
Check whether,
^the appliance door is closed
properly.
^
the system lock has been activated
(see "System lock").
^
"door" appears in the display. The
door has not been opened for a long
time (approx. 20 minutes). See "door"
message.
^
the appliance is plugged into the
mains supply and switched on at the
socket.
^
the mains fuse has tripped because
the mains voltage or another
appliance is faulty (disconnect the
appliance from the mains supply and
call a qualified electrician or Miele.
See "After sales service".).. . . a noise can be heard after a
cooking programme.
This is not a fault.
The cooling fan will continue to run for a
while after the oven has been switched
off to prevent any humidity building up
in the oven, on the control panel or on
the oven housing unit.
It will switch off automatically.
. . . the display does not light up.
Check whether,
^the time of day display has been
switched off (press and hold them
button for a few seconds).
^the time of day display has been
programmed to switch off at night.
. . . the turntable does not turn
smoothly.
^Check whether the area underneath
the roller ring is clean.
^
Check whether the surfaces between
the turntable and the carrier are
clean.
Remove any soiling.
. . . food is not adequately defrosted,
heated or cooked at the end of the
selected cooking duration.
^
Check whether the correct power
level was selected for the duration
set.
The lower the power level, the longer
the duration required.
^
Check whether the programme has
been interrupted and not restarted.

							. . . the microwave operation works
but not the lighting.
^You can then operate the appliance
as normal, but not the lighting.
Contact Miele if you need to replace
the lighting.
. . . strange noises are heard when
the microwave oven is being used.
Check whether,
^the food is covered with aluminium
foil.
If so, remove it.
^Sparks are being created by the use
of crockery with a metallic finish. See
notes on suitable types of containers.
. . . the time of day in the display is
not accurate.
If there has been a power cut, the time
automatically switches back to 12:00.
The time of day needs to be re-set.
^
Set the correct time of day.
. . . food cools down too quickly.
In the microwave oven, food begins to
cook from the outside first, the inside of
the food relying on the slower
conduction of heat.
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
middle but cool on the outside. When
reheating food with different densities,such as plated meals, it is therefore
sensible to select a lower power level
and lengthen the duration required.
. . . the microwave switches itself off
during a cooking, reheating or
defrosting programme.
There may be insufficient air circulation.
Check whether,
^the air inlet or outlet is blocked.
If so, remove it. The appliance switches
off automatically in cases of
overheating. Cooking can be continued
after a cooling-down period.
If the microwave oven switches itself off
repeatedly, please call Miele.
If it is not possible to remedy a fault
by following the instructions given
above, on no account open the
appliance casing.
This microwave oven should only be
repaired by a suitably qualified
technician trained by Miele.

							Before connecting the appliance,
ensure that it has not been
damaged in any way. Do not use a
damaged appliance.
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable and moulded plug ready for
connection to an AC single phase
220-240 V 50 Hz supply.
Fuse protection is to be conducted as
follows: Connection to an earthed
power socket, protected with 10 A-L
automat or fuse 10 A.
Connection must only be made via a
suitable switched socket. The electrical
system must comply with VDE0100.
The appliance should be positioned so
that the plug is accessible.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket, or via a
suitable isolator, which complies with
national and local safety regulations,
and the on/off switch should be easily
accessible after the appliance has
been installed. If it is installed via an
isolator switch, connectionmustbe
carried out by an electrician.
When switched off, there must be an
all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the
switch (including switch, fuses and
relays).The voltage, rated load and fuse rating
are given on thedata platesituated at
the front of the oven interior. Please
ensure these match the household
mains supply.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a Miele approved ser
-
vice technician to avoid a hazard.
Do not connect the machine to an
inverter such as those used with an
autonomous energy source e.g. Solar
power. When switched on, peak loads
in the system can cause the safety
switch off mechanism to be triggered.
This can damage the electronic unit.
The machine must not be used with
so-calledEnergy saving devices
either. These reduce the amount of
energy supplied to the machine,
causing it to overheat.

							When building in the appliance,
ensure that the vents at the front of
the appliance are not hindered.
Make sure that there is a gap of at
least 2.5 mm between the sides of
the appliance and adjoining furniture
doors and at least 4 mm above the
appliance.
The appliance is designed to be built
into a tall unit and is also suitable for
underbench installation.
The installation of the microwave oven
below a cooktop or above a plate
warming drawer is not permitted.
Building-in dimensions
Underbench
To transport the appliance, make
sure that you lift it by the appliance
housing and not by the frame. The
frame is not sturdy enough to bear
the weight of the appliance when it
is being carried.

							Tall unit
Building-in kit
The following items are supplied in the
accessory pack for installing the
appliance:
Installation
The appliance must be built in
before it can be used. Otherwise it
poses an electric shock hazard.
There are three spacers in the
accessory pack: one for the right-hand
side (R) and two for the left-hand side
(L), depending on whether the housing
unit wall is 16 or 19 mm thick.
^Attach the correct left-hand spacer
applicable to the thickness of the
housing unit wall to one of the hooks
supplied.
^
Attach the other hook to the
right-hand spacer.
^
Before securing the hooks, make
sure that the screws are fitted where
the housing unit wall is at least 16
mm thick.
^
Draw a line on both sides of the
housing unit 420 mm above the floor
of the housing unit.
^
Position the lower edge of the spacer
on this line and align the stopper at
the front of the spacer with the front
of the housing unit side wall.
Installation

							^To secure the spacers and hooks,
place a screw in one of the front two
holes and another in the middle of
the long hole at the back.
The long hole allows for adjustment if
necessary, and the two additional
holes are in case additional screws
are required.
^
Slide the appliance into the housing
unit, and pull the cable with the plug*
through the back of the unit.
* Plug shown is for illustration
purposes only.^Secure the appliance at the front by
lifting it over the hooks and lowering it
into position.
^Check that the appliance is secure
by pushing lightly on the upper edge
of the front frame.
^Check that it is correctly aligned.
