Miele H 135 MB Operating Instructions Manual page 71

When cooked by microwaves, 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. During
standing time heat is transferred to the
centre of the food. Food may be warm
in the middle but cool on the edge.
When reheating food with different den-
sities, such as plated meals, it is sen-
sible to start with a low power level and
lengthen the time required.
The short time programmed for the
minute minder can only start counting
down when the appliance door is shut
and the Start touch control has been
pressed.
Check whether
– microwave mode has been selected.
– the time entered is less than 10
minutes. A time of more than 10
minutes cannot be stored.
Check whether
– sparks are being created by the use
of metallic crockery, (see Section on
suitable crockery).
– the food is covered with aluminium
foil. If so, remove it.
Check whether
– microwave mode has been selected,

the Memory-Programmes with a
power setting of 850 W adds up to
