Cause and remedy
The oven was not restarted after interrupting a
cooking programme using microwave power.
 Restart the programme to ensure the food is
heated or cooked properly.
When cooking or heating with microwave power, the
time set was too short.
 Check that the correct duration is selected for the
microwave power level. The lower the microwave
power level the longer the cooking duration.
With a very small amount of food, the steam oven
automatically reduces the power level to suit the
actual amount of food as a safety precaution. The
display still shows the previously set initial power
level.
 Restart the programme with a lower microwave
power setting to ensure the food is heated or
cooked properly.
Microwaves cause food to heat from the outside first.
This heat then moves towards the middle of the food.
If food is cooked at a high power level it is possible
that the heat may not have reached the centre of the
food. Food may be hot on the outside but cool in the
middle. During the standing time the food in the
middle will become warmer and that on the outside
will become cooler.
 When heating food with different densities, such
as with menu cooking, it is sensible to start with a
low power level and select a longer reheating
duration.
The oven interior was too warm and/or too damp.
The cooking duration was too short.
 See "Popcorn".
The lamp is defective.
 Call Miele Service to have the lamp replaced.
