Miele M 637 EC Operating Instructions Manual page 12

Always ensure that food or a
browning dish has been placed in
the microwave, and that the turntable is
in place, before switching on.
Do not use the oven for 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.
Ovenproof earthenware can retain
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 there can
be a pressure build-up, causing the
container to crack or shatter, with the
danger of injury.
With all functions, except the
microwave solo mode, the rack,
oven interior, grill element, side runners,
door and housing 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.
Wear oven gloves when placing
dishes in and taking them out of
the oven, or when handling dishes or
food in the oven if the appliance is on
or has just been in operation. Danger of
burning.
The rack and glass tray become
hot when the oven is in operation.
Take care not to burn yourself on them!

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.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven
could catch fire.
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for other items.
The heat from the top of the appliance
could cause some kinds of items to
melt.
To check food temperature, first
interrupt the cooking programme.
Only use a thermometer specifically
approved for use in a microwave oven
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.
In countries where there are areas
which are subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
Never use a steam-cleaning
appliance to clean this appliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
