- Page 14 Warning and Safety instructions Always ensure that food is sufficiently heated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its initial temperature, changes to the recipe, and the shape and size of the cooking container. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking.
- Page 15 Warning and Safety instructions Always remember that times for cooking, reheating and defrosting in a microwave oven are usually considerably shorter than with traditional methods of food preparation. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. Do not dry breadcrumbs, flowers, herbs, etc., in the microwave oven as these could catch fire.
- Page 16 Warning and Safety instructions Always ensure that food has been placed in the microwave oven and that the turntable is in position before switching on. Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be loosened.
- Page 17 Warning and Safety instructions When reheating liquids, place the boiling rod supplied into the cup or glass. When heating liquids, milk, sauces etc, using microwave power without the boiling rod, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles.
- Page 18 Warning and Safety instructions To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the door if smoke occurs inside the microwave oven. Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed. Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire.
- Page 19 Warning and Safety instructions Do not use the appliance to heat up tins. Pressure can build up and they may explode. Cover any food which is left in the microwave oven to be kept hot, as moisture in the food could lead to corrosion damage in the appliance and could also damage the control panel, worktop and surrounding kitchen furniture.
- Page 20 Warning and Safety instructions Fire hazard. Using microwave power with plastic dishes which are not microwave-safe can cause them to melt and damage the appliance. Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper covered wire ties.
- Page 21 Warning and Safety instructions Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags intended for normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which reflects microwaves.This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
- Page 22 Stainless steel surfaces The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause scratching. Accessories Only use genuine original Miele replacement parts. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
- Page 23 Warning and Safety instructions The rack and gourmet plate supplied are designed for use with microwave power and so can be used for grilling with or without the microwave function. They must not be used at the same time as this would damage the gourmet plate.
