children.
Technical safety
Installation, repair and maintenance
work should be performed by a Miele
authorized service technician in
accordance with national and local
safety regulations and the provided
installation instructions. Contact Miele’s
Technical Service Department for
examination, repair or adjustment.
Before installation make sure that
the voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond in order to prevent
injury and machine damage. If in doubt,
consult a qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of
this appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. This appliance must
be grounded. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. See Electrical
connection - GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.
The appliance must only be
operated after it has been correctly
installed into cabinetry. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
Before installing the oven, check for
externally visible damage.Do not
operate a damaged appliance.
This appliance must not be installed
or operated outdoors.
Do not use this product near water –
for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, near a swimming pool,
or similar locations.
Do not mount over a sink.
Do not store anything directly on top
of the appliance surface when the
appliance is in operation.
Defective components should be
replaced by Miele original spare parts
only. Only with these parts can the
manufacturer guarantee the safety of
the appliance.

							Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or if the
appliance has been damaged in any
manner. Contact Miele’s Technical
Service Department.
Do not use an extension cord to
connect this appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.

Danger of electric shock!
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
Do not attempt to operate this oven
with the door open since open-door
operation can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to damage or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the
oven front and the door or allow soil
or cleaner residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is
damaged. It is particularly important
that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent), (2) hinges and
latches (broken or loosened),
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.
Safety
Do not use the oven to heat the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven
could catch fire.
Do not submerge the cord or plug in
water.
Keep the power cord away from
heated surfaces.
Do not let the cord hang over the
edge of a table or counter.
Do not cover or block any openings
on the appliance.
Times for cooking, heating and
defrosting food in the microwave are
shorter than that of traditional food
preparation methods. Extensive
microwaving could dry out food and
cause possible ignition. Fire hazard!
Do not heat cushions filled with
herbs, gel, etc. with the microwave
function. The cushions could ignite,
even once removed from the oven after
heating. This is a fire hazard.
Do not use full power to warm empty
dishes or dry herbs.
Do not heat an empty microwave.
Do not use the appliance for
dehydrating food, or leave it
unattended when cooking with oils and
fats. Fire hazard.
Never heat undiluted alcohol in the
microwave oven, it can easily ignite.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

							If materials inside the oven ignite,
keep the oven door closed to avoid
fueling any flames. Turn the oven off or
disconnect the power supply.
Cover food that is left in the
microwave to stay warm. Otherwise
moisture from the food could damage
the machine. This will also prevent the
food from drying out.
Spills or stains from food and liquids
containing salt should be immediately
cleaned from the stainless steel interior.
Corrosion may occur.
If smoke occurs in the oven, to avoid
fueling any flame, do not open the oven
door. Switch the appliance off by
pressing the Stop/C button, switch off
at the mains and remove the plug from
the socket. Do not open the oven door
until the smoke has dispersed.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
penetrate live components and
permanently damage the oven or cause
injury.
When cleaning surfaces of the door
and oven that come together when the
door is closed, use only mild,
non-abrasive soaps, or detergents
applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
Do not operate the microwave
empty. This will cause damage.
Do not use items containing metal,
aluminum foil, cutlery, dishware with
metal decoration, crystal glass
containing lead, bowls with a knurled
rim, non-temperature safe dishware,
wooden dishware, metal clips, wire
twist ties, food containers with metal
coverings or residues.
Danger of machine damage and fire.
Do not leave the appliance
unattended when heating food in
disposable, e.g. plastic, paper or other
flammable materials.
Do not use the oven to heat food in
heat retaining packaging, e.g. take-out
food bags.
This packaging contains a thin layer of
aluminum foil which reflects the
microwaves. This reflected energy can
cause the paper layer to ignite.
Before serving food allow a
sufficient standing time. Always check
the temperature of the food itself after
taking it out of the microwave. Do not
judge by the plate temperature. The
heat is created in the food, the dishes
may stay cool to the touch.
Always check the temperature
before serving heated baby food.
Use a food thermometer to measure
the foods temperature. Do not use
thermometers containing mercury or
liquids, they are not suitable for high
temperatures and break easily.
Never cook or reheat food and
liquids in sealed containers or bottles.
Remove the nipple or lid before heating
in the microwave. Built-up pressure
may cause them to burst. Danger of
injuries.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

							When heating liquids, the provided
boiling wand should be placed into the
container.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be
boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling
when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT
LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
The built-up pressure may force the
oven door open. This could result in
injury or damage. The boiling wand
ensures that the liquid boils evenly and
that steam bubbles form at an early
stage.
Some products such as whole eggs
and sealed containers - for example,
closed glass jars - are able to explode
and should not be heated in this oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave oven only if the
yolk membrane has been punctured
first. The pressure could otherwise
cause the egg yolk to explode. Danger
of injuries.
Do not heat closed containers in the
microwave oven. They may burst.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages and potatoes
should be pierced in several places
before cooking to allow steam to vent
and prevent the food from bursting.
Always ensure that the turntable is in
place before turning on the microwave.
Do not heat dishware with hollow
handles or lid knobs. Moisture can get
into the hollow parts. (The hollow parts
of some dishware can be vented).
Danger of built-up pressure and the
explosion of the hollow parts may
cause injuries.

Cover
The cover prevents food from drying
out, shortens and evens out the
cooking process, and prevents soiling
of the microwave interior.
Boiling wand
When heating liquids, the provided
boiling wand should be placed into the
container. It helps in even boiling of the
liquid.
