7


Correct application

~

This oven is intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.

~

The oven is not intended for outdoor use.

~

It is intended for domestic use only to cook food, and in particular to bake, roast, grill, cook, reheat, defrost and dry food.

Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

~

Do not use the microwave combination oven to store or dry items which could ignite easily.

If such items were dried in the microwave oven, the moisture in the item would evaporate causing it to dry out and even self-ignite.

~

People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge who are not able to use the appliance safely on their own must be supervised whilst using it.

They may only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

8

~

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appliance unless they are constantly supervised.

~

Children 8 years and older may only use the oven unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

~

Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance unsupervised.

~

Please supervise children in the vicinity of the oven and do not let them play with it.

~

Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and suffocate.

9


~

Danger of burning.

Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vents become quite hot during use. Do not let children touch the oven whilst it is in use.

~

Danger of injury

The oven door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg. Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it.

10


Technical safety

~

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

~

Never use a damaged oven. It could be dangerous. Check it for visible signs of damage before using it.

~

Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:

– the door is warped,

– the door hinges are loose,

– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door, the door seal or the oven interior walls.

~

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.

~

To avoid the risk of damage to the oven, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply before connecting the oven to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

~

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard).

11


~

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in.

~

The oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

~

Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Never open the casing of the appliance.

~

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

~

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

~

If the connection cable is damaged or if the oven is supplied without a cable, it must be replaced or fitted with a special connection cable by a Miele authorised technician (see "Electrical connection").

12


~

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply, e.g. if the oven lighting is faulty (see "Problem solving guide" and "Electrical connection").

~

In order to function correctly, the oven requires an adequate supply of cool air. Ensure that the supply of cool air is not impaired

(e.g. by heat insulation strips in the housing unit). Please also ensure that the cool air supply is not unduly heated by other heat sources such as a solid fuel stove.

~

If the oven is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door), ensure that the door is never closed whilst the oven is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and cause subsequent damage to the oven, the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the oven has cooled down completely.

13


Correct use

,

Danger of burning.

The oven becomes hot when in use.

Depending on the function being used, you could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior, cooked food or oven accessories.

Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.

~

Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven when it is in use could start to burn.

Do not use the oven to heat up the room.

~

Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the oven unattended when cooking with oil and fat. Do not use the oven for deep fat frying.

Never use water to extinguish ignited oil or fat. Switch the oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by keeping the oven door closed.

14


~

Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even cause it to catch fire.

Make sure you keep to recommended grilling times when using the grill. Do not use Microwave solo _ for drying items such as flowers, herbs, bread or rolls. Never use functions with the grill for bake-off products such as bread or bread rolls, or for drying flowers or herbs.

Use Fan plus U for these procedures and monitor the process carefully.

~

If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire on hot heating elements.

~

When using residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the high humidity and amount of condensation in the oven can cause corrosion in the oven. The control panel, the worktop or the housing unit can also suffer damage.

Always cover food when using Microwave solo _ function. Once food is cooked through, use a lower power for continued cooking to reduce the amount of steam produced from the food.

When using residual heat do not switch the oven off. Instead set the temperature to the lowest setting and leave the oven on the selected function.

The fan will then remain on automatically and dissipate the moisture.

~

Food which is stored in the oven or left in it to be kept warm can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the oven.

Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm.

15


~

A build-up of heat can cause damage to the enamel on the floor of the oven.

When using Conventional heat V, Bottom heat X, Intensive bake O or Fan plus U do not line the floor of the oven with anything, e.g. aluminium foil or so-called protective liners. Neither should you place roasting pans or glass trays directly on the oven floor.

~

It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throughout the food being cooked. This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.

~

When heating food and drinks, remember that the heat is created in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food.

Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and then always check the temperature of the food after taking it out of the microwave oven. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is

particularly important when preparing food for babies, children,

and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food

thoroughly after heating, and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.

~

The oven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items. Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning when the item is removed from the appliance.

~

Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed.

Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.

16


~

The boiling rod ensures that the liquid heats up evenly with bubbles forming at the right time.

When reheating liquids, always place the boiling rod supplied into the cup or glass.

When boiling and in particular when re-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. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-called

'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of scalding and burning. The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open, with a danger of injury and damage. The user could be injured and the appliance damaged.

~

Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.

The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

17


~

Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power, even after taking them out of the oven.

They can only be cooked in their shells using microwave heat in a specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist shops. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated in the microwave oven either as they too will explode.

~

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.

~

To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process.

Only use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to measure the temperature of the food. Do not use a thermometer containing mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and break very easily.

~

Do not use the oven to heat up cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy.

These pads can ignite when heated even after they have been removed from the oven.

~

To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke occurs inside the appliance. 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.

~

Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode.

If the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used.

However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the microwave oven.

18


~

Fire hazard. Using Microwave solo _ or Microwave combination programmes 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.

Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the foil lid only partially removed (see "Suitable containers for microwave use").

~

For functions without microwave power: plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and can even damage the oven or catch fire. Only use containers which are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on use.

~

Do not leave the microwave oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials. Before using single-use containers make sure they are suitable for use in microwave ovens. See

"Suitable containers for microwave ovens".

~

Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are intended for use in 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.

~

The oven can suffer damage when using Microwave solo _ or

Combination programmes if it is empty or incorrectly loaded.

For this reason please do not use functions with microwave power to pre-heat crockery or to dry herbs.

Instead use Fan plus U or Conventional heat V.

~

Do not bottle or heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars in the oven, as pressure will build up in the container, causing it to explode.

19


~

You could injure yourself on the open oven door or trip over it.

Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

~

The door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg.

Do not sit on or lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven cavity. The oven could get damaged.

20


Cleaning and care

~

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.

The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

~

Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to clean the door glass.

~

Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface.

Accessories

~

Only use genuine original Miele accessories. Using accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

~

Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food probe.

– settings that can be customised.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan will come on automatically when a cooking programme is started. The cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven cavity with cool room air before venting it out into the kitchen through vents located between the appliance door and the control panel.

The cooling fan will continue to run for a while after a cooking process to prevent moisture building up in the oven, on the control panel or on the oven housing unit. It will switch itself off automatically after a while.

Safety features

System lock 0

The system lock prevents the oven from being used unintentionally (see

"Settings - System lock

0").

The system lock will remain activated even after an interruption to the power supply.

Safety switch-off

A function without microwave can be started without selecting a cooking duration. To prevent over-use and the consequent danger of fire, the oven will switch itself off automatically after a certain length of time. This can be between 1 hour and 12 hours depending on the function and temperature chosen.

If a combination programme is followed in quick succession by another programme using microwave power, the magnetron (which produces the microwaves) cannot be switched on again until approx. 10 seconds have elapsed. Therefore wait a short while before starting the second process.

35

Features

PerfectClean treated surfaces

Overview of functions

Your oven has a range of oven functions for preparing food.

Functions which do not use microwave energy

Intensive bake O

For baking cakes with moist toppings.

Intensive bake is not suitable for baking thin biscuits or for roasting as the juices will become too dark.

Fan plus

U

This function is used for baking and roasting on different levels at the same time.

A lower temperature can be selected than when using Conventional heat

V, as the fan distributes the heat to the food straight away.

Conventional heat

V

For baking and roasting traditional recipes, preparing soufflés and cooking at low temperatures.

If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven temperature for

Conventional heat 10 °C lower than that recommended. This will not change cooking times.

Auto roast

[

This is used for roasting at a high temperature and continued cooking at a lower temperature.

During the searing phase the oven heats up to a high temperature (230 °C) to seal the meat and keep it succulent and tasty. As soon as this temperature has been reached, the oven temperature automatically drops back down to the pre-selected temperature for continued roasting.

Bottom heat

X

Use this setting towards the end of cooking to brown the base of a cake, quiche or pizza.

Gentle bake K

Ideal for cooking bakes and gratins that need to be crispy on top.

Grill

Y

For grilling thin cuts (e.g. steaks) and browning baked dishes.

Fan grill

\

For grilling thicker cuts of meat

(e. g. roulades, chicken). Lower temperatures can be used than when using the Grill Y function, as the fan distributes the heat to the food straight away.

52

Overview of functions

Microwave solo

_

This function is used to rapidly defrost, reheat and cook food

Microwave combination programmes

With Microwave combination programmes the heating element and the magnetron switch on and off alternating one after the other. The heating element browns the food and the magnetron helps it cook quickly.

A maximum microwave power level of

300 W can be used with Microwave combination programmes.

MW + Auto roast L

This is used for roasting at a high temperature and continued cooking at a lower temperature.

During the searing phase the oven heats up to a high temperature (230 °C) to seal the meat and keep it succulent and tasty. As soon as this temperature has been reached, the oven temperature automatically drops back down to the pre-selected temperature for continued roasting.

MW + Grill b

For grilling thin cuts (e.g. steaks) and browning baked dishes.

The grilling duration is shorter.

MW + Fan plus a

For rapid reheating and cooking of food, browning it at the same time.

This combination programme saves the most time and energy.

When baking do not set the microwave power higher than 150 W.

MW + Fan grill M

For grilling larger items, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.

The grilling duration is shorter.

53

Microwave power

How it works

In a microwave combination oven there is a high-frequency tube called a magnetron. This converts electrical energy into microwaves. These microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the oven interior, and rebound off the metal sides of the oven interior to reach the food from all sides.

In order for microwaves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the cooking utensil being used.

Microwaves can penetrate porcelain, glass, cardboard and plastics, but not metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils made of metal, or which contain metal, for example in the form of gold or silver trim. The metal reflects the microwaves and this could cause sparking. The microwaves cannot be absorbed.

Microwaves pass through a suitable container and find their way directly into the food. All food contains moisture molecules which, when subjected to microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5

thousand million times a second. The friction caused by this vibration creates heat, which first starts developing around the outside of the food and then slowly penetrates towards the centre.

The moisture, fat and sugar content of food will affect the speed at which it is cooked. The more water a food contains, the quicker it is to reheat or cook.

As heat is produced directly in the food,

– food can generally be cooked without adding much liquid or cooking oil.

– cooking, reheating and defrosting is quicker than using conventional methods.

– nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are generally retained.

– the colour, texture and taste of food are not impaired.

Microwaves stop being produced as soon as the cooking process is interrupted or the appliance door is opened.

When the appliance is in operation, the closed, sealed door prevents microwaves escaping from the appliance.

Power levels

The following power levels can be selected:

80 W, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W,

850 W, 1000 W

54

Suitable containers for microwave use

Microwaves are reflected by metal, pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and card, and are absorbed by food.

Fire hazard. Non-microwave safe dishes can suffer damage or damage the oven if used with

Microwave solo _ or Microwave combination programmes.

The material and shape of the containers used affect cooking results and times.

Heat distribution is more even in round and oval shaped flat containers than in rectangular containers, providing better results.


Glassware

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use with microwave power.

Exception: Do not use crystal glass as it contains lead which can crack or shatter in a microwave oven.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a suitable material.

Exception: Do not use porcelain with gold or silver edging or items with hollow knobs or handles, as insufficient ventilation may cause a build-up of pressure.

55


Earthenware

Decorated earthenware is only suitable if the decoration is beneath an all-over glaze.

Danger of burning. Wear oven gloves when removing earthenware dishes from the oven.

Plastics

Plastic containers and plastic disposable containers may only be used for Microwave solo

_ if they have been declared as suitable for microwave use by the manufacturer. To protect the environment it is best to avoid using single-use containers.

Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials.

Plastic containers must only be used with Microwave solo _. They must not be used with Microwave combination programmes. They must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 110 °C.

Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food.

– Plastic microwave containers

These are readily available from retail outlets.

– Styrofoam containers

Styrofoam containers can be used for short, timed warming and reheating of food.

– Plastic "Boil-in-the-bag" bags

Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating. They should be pierced beforehand so that steam can escape.

This prevents a build-up of pressure and reduces the risk of the bag bursting.There are also special steaming bags available which do not need to be pierced. Please follow instructions given on the packet.

– Roasting bags and tubes

Please follow the manufacturer's instructions when using roasting bags and tubes.

,

Do not use metal clips, plastic clips containing metal parts, or paper ties containing wire. There is a danger that they will ignite when heated.

– Melamine containers

Melamine is not suitable for use in this oven. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and gets hot. When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven.

56


Unsuitable

,

Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used. However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the microwave oven.

Metal

Metal reflects microwaves and obstructs the cooking process.

^ Do not use metal containers, aluminium, foil, metal cutlery and china with metallic decoration such as gold rims or cobalt blue with


Do not use containers where the foil lid has not been completely removed as small pieces of foil can cause sparking.

Exceptions:

The rack supplied with the oven is suitable for use with all functions that do not use microwave power and with Microwave combination programmes.

The rack should be used on shelf level 1. Do not place it on the oven floor.

– Metal bakeware can be used with microwave combination programmes.

– Ready-meals in aluminium foil trays can be defrosted and reheated using microwave power as long as the lid is removed.

When using foil trays there is a risk of arcing or sparks occurring in the oven. For this reason place the foil tray on the glass tray and not on the rack.

The foil tray must be at least 2 cm away from the oven walls. It must not touch them.

However, as food is only heated from the top it is better to remove the food from the aluminium foil container and transfer it to a dish suitable for use in a microwave oven. The heat distribution will be more even.

57


– For even defrosting and to avoid overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of aluminium foil may be used to mask wingtips or other thin parts for the last few minutes of the programme.

Make sure that the aluminium foil is at least 2 cm from the oven walls at all times. It must not touch the walls.

– Metal meat skewers or clamps should only be used if they are very small in comparison to the size of the cut of meat.

Testing dishes for their suitability

If in doubt as to whether glass, earthenware or porcelain plates or dishes are suitable for use with microwave energy, a simple test can be performed:

^ Place the container in the middle of the glass tray and slide the tray into shelf level 1.

^ Close the door.

^ Select Microwave solo _.

^ Set the highest power level (1000 W) and a duration of 30 seconds.

^ Start the programme.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain metal and are therefore unsuitable for microwave functions.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable.

Moisture contained in the wood evaporates when exposed to microwave energy, causing the wood to dry and crack.

At the end of the test, the water in the glass should be hot and the dish cool. If the dish is hot, it would be unwise to use the dish.

If a cracking noise is heard accompanied by sparks during the test, switch the appliance off immediately. Any crockery which causes this reaction is unsuitable for use with microwave power.

If any doubt exists about the suitability of a container, please contact the supplier.

This test cannot be used to check whether items with hollow knobs or handles are suitable for use with microwave power.

58


Placing the dish in the oven

^ Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1.

^ The dish containing the food should always be placed in the middle of the glass tray.

Placing the food directly on the floor of the oven would give unsatisfactory and uneven results as the microwaves would not be able to reach the food from below.

Cover

A cover:

– prevents too much steam escaping, especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook, such as potatoes.

– speeds up the cooking process.

– prevents food from drying out.

– helps keep the oven interior clean.

^ When using Microwave solo _ always cover the food with a lid or cover made of microwave safe glass or plastic.

These are available from retail outlets.

Alternatively, use a clingfilm recommended for use in a microwave oven (pierce as instructed by the manufacturer). Heat can cause normal clingfilm to distort and fuse with the food.

59


,

The cover can only withstand temperatures up to 110 °C.

Higher temperatures (e. g. those used for grilling and Fan plus) can cause the plastic to distort and fuse with the food.

The cover should only be used with

Microwave solo

_.

The cover should not form a seal with the container. If the cover is used with a container which only has a narrow diameter, there might not be enough room for condensation to escape through the holes in the top. The cover could get too hot and could start to melt.

Do not use a cover if:

– cooking breaded food,

– cooking food which requires a crisp finish,

– cooking food with a Microwave combination programme.

,

Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed.

Otherwise pressure builds up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.

60

Tips on saving energy

– Remove any accessories from the oven that you do not require for cooking.

– Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.

– If possible, do not open the door during a programme.

If the door is opened during a programme that is not using microwave power, the heat in the oven automatically switches off. The fans continue to operate. As soon as the door is closed again, the programme will continue.

– In general, if a range of temperatures is given, it is best to select the lower temperature and to check the food after the shortest given time.

– Use Fan plus U as you can cook at temperatures 10–30 °C lower than when using other functions.

– Fan grill \ can be used for a wide variety of food. With Fan grill you can use lower temperatures than with other grill functions which use the maximum temperature setting.

– Your oven will use as little energy as possible if you set the time of day display to "Time - Display - Off".

– In the factory default setting of

"Lighting – On for 15 seconds" the oven lighting will switch off automatically after 15 seconds if a programme is running. Touch I at any time to switch the light back on.

Using residual heat

The oven heating will switch off automatically shortly before the end of a cooking process for which an automatic switch-off time has been set or which is using the food probe.

Cooking continues using residual heat.

The heat in the oven is sufficient to complete the cooking process.

Energy save mode

The oven will switch itself off automatically to save energy if no other action is taken within a certain time frame after switching it on or after the end of a cooking programme.

The time when this happens will depend on the selected settings

(function, temperature and duration).

The time of day will be displayed or the display will remain dark (see "Settings -

Time - Display").

Rapid heat-up

Rapid heat-up can be used to speed up the heating up phase.

The Rapid heat-up function switches on automatically if you set a temperature of more than 100 °C for Fan plus U, Auto roast

[ and Conventional heat V.

Rapid heat-up should be switched off when cooking pizza and delicate items (e. g. sponge or biscuits).

These will get brown too quickly on the top.

You can switch-off "Rapid heat-up" for a relevant cooking process via the

"Heating-up phase" option.

Heating-up phase" option

– Rapid

(Factory default setting)

The top and ring heating elements come on together with the fan to enable the oven to reach the required temperature as quickly as possible.

– Normal

Only the heating elements for the oven function selected are switched on (see "Overview of functions").

To switch off the Rapid heat-up function:

^ Select "Change".

^ Select "Heating-up phase".

^ Select "Normal".

^ Select "OK".

^ Finally, select "OK" if you want to see the actual temperature increasing in the display.

"Heating-up" will appear in the display instead of "Rapid heat-up".

65


Pre-heating the oven

It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven in a few instances.

Most dishes can be placed in a cold oven. They will then make use of the heat produced during the heating-up phase.

Pre-heat the oven when using:

Fan plus

U

– dark bread dough,

– beef sirloin joints and fillet.

Conventional heat V

– cakes and biscuits with a short baking time (up to 30 minutes)

– delicate mixtures (e.g. sponges)

– dark bread dough,

– beef sirloin joints and fillet.

^ Select the required oven function and the temperature.

^ Rapid heat-up should be switched off when baking pizza, biscuits and small cakes.

^ Wait for heating-up to finish.

A buzzer will sound when the set temperature is reached as long as the buzzer is set (see "Settings - Volume -

Buzzer tones").


Using the Crisp function

(Moisture reduction)

It is a good idea to use this function when cooking items which are moist on the inside but which should be crispy on the outside, e.g. frozen chips, croquettes or pork with crackling.

It is also suitable for deep filled fresh fruit cakes, such as plum or apple cake.

You can activate the "Crisp function" with any function. For best results, activate it at the beginning of the cooking process.


^ Select "Change".

^ Scroll through the list of options until

"Crisp function" appears in the display.

^ Select "Crisp function".

^ Select "On".

^ Select "OK".

Moisture reduction is now activated.

Baking

Eating food which has been cooked correctly is important for good health.

Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc.

until they are golden. Do not overcook them.

Functions

Fan plus U

Ideal for baking biscuits, sponges, choux pastry, puff pastry and filo pastry.

Microwave + Fan plus a

Suitable for dough which requires longer baking, such as rubbed in, beaten mixtures and yeast recipes.

The baking duration is shorter.

During baking the microwave power level must not exceed 150 W.

Bakeware

The choice of bakeware depends on the oven function.

– Fan plus

U:

Bakeware made of any ovenproof material is suitable. Light-coloured, thin-walled, non-reflective metal tins can be used, but results may not be as good as with dark non-reflective tins.

– Microwave + Fan plus a:

Only use ovenproof dishes suitable for microwave use (see "Suitable containers for microwave use"), such as ovenproof glass or ceramic dishes as these allow microwaves through them.

Metal containers reflect microwaves so food will only cook from above.

Cooking durations would therefore be longer and metal tins could also cause sparking. Place the dish on the glass tray such that it cannot touch the oven walls. If the dish being used causes sparking do not use it for combination cooking again.

Baking parchment

Place chips, croquette potatoes and similar types of food on baking parchment.

86

Baking

Notes on the baking chart

Temperature

6

As a general rule, select the lower temperature given in the chart.

Baking at temperatures higher than those recommended may reduce the cooking time, but will lead to uneven browning, and unsatisfactory cooking results.

Baking duration +

Check if the food is cooked at the end of the shortest time quoted.

To check if a cake is ready, insert a wooden skewer into the centre. It is ready if the skewer comes out clean, without dough or crumbs sticking to it.

Shelf level ³

ß Fan plus U

– Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1

– Flat items (e. g. biscuits, tray bakes):

Shelf level 2

– Baking on two levels at once

(depending on the depth of the items to be baked):

Shelf levels 1+3 or

Shelf levels 2+3

ß Microwave + Fan plus a

Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1 and place the baking container on it.

Tips

– Set the cooking duration. When baking, the oven should not be set to start a long time off. Otherwise the cake mixture or dough will dry out, and the raising agents will lose their effectiveness.

– Position rectangular tins with the longer side across the width of the oven for optimum heat distribution and even baking results.

Roasting

Functions

Fan plus

U / Auto roast [

Use this programme for roasting meat, fish and poultry that needs to be well browned.

Microwave + Fan plus a /

Microwave + Auto roast L

The programme duration is shorter with these functions.

The following microwave power levels should be used throughout roasting:

– For meat and fish: max. 300 W,

– For poultry: 150 W.

These combination programmes are

not suitable for roasting sirloin joints or fillet. The centre would be too well cooked before the exterior is browned.

Roasting dishes

Please take into account the material of your bakeware in your choice of oven function:

– Fan plus U / Auto roast [:

Gourmet oven dishes, oven proof ceramic dishes and glass dishes.

Pot roasting

We recommend roasting in covered oven dishes. Meat will be tender and there will be sufficient stock for making gravy. The oven also stays cleaner than when roasting on the rack.

^ Season the meat and place it in the roasting dish. Dot with butter or margarine or brush with oil if necessary.

For large lean cuts of meat (2-3 kg) and fatty poultry add about 1/8 litre of water to the dish.

^ When using a roasting bag, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Roasting on the rack

Add a little fat or oil to very lean meat or place a few strips of streaky bacon on the top.

Do not add too much liquid during cooking as this will hinder the browning process.

Make sure that the pot and lid have heat-resistant handles.

– Microwave + Fan plus a /

Microwave + Auto roast

L:

Dishes must be suitable for use in a microwave oven and must not have metal lids (see "Suitable containers for microwave use").

92

Roasting

Notes on the roasting chart

Temperature

6

As a general rule, select the lower temperature given in the chart. If higher temperatures are used, the meat will brown on the outside, but will not be properly cooked through.

For cuts which weigh more than 3 kg, select a temperature approx. 10 °C lower than that given in the roasting chart.

Roasting will take longer at the lower temperature, but will be more even.

When roasting on the rack, set a temperature approx. 20 °C lower than for roasting in an oven dish.

Pre-heating

Pre-heating is required when roasting beef sirloin joints and fillet.

Roasting duration

+

The traditional British method for calculating the roasting time is to allow

15 to 20 minutes per lb/450 grammes, according to type of meat, plus approx.

20 minutes, adjusting the length of time as roasting proceeds to obtain the required result. The roasting time can also be determined by multiplying the thickness of the roast [cm] with the time per cm [min/cm], depending on the type of meat:

Beef/venison: . . . . . . . . . 15–18 min/cm

Pork/veal/lamb: . . . . . . . . 12–15 min/cm

Sirloin/fillet: . . . . . . . . . . . 12–15 min/cm

Check if the meat is cooked after the shortest duration quoted.

Shelf level ³

– Fan plus

U / Auto roast [:

Rack with meat on it on shelf level 1

Tips

Browning

Browning only occurs towards the end of the roasting time. Remove the lid about halfway through the roasting time if a more intensive browning result is desired.

Standing time

At the end of the programme, take the roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand for about

10 minutes. This helps retain juices when the meat is carved.

Roasting poultry

For a crisp finish, baste the poultry

10 minutes before the end of the cooking time with slightly salted water.

93

Roasting

Food probe

The food probe enables the roasting process to be monitored simply and reliably.

How the food probe works

The metal tip of the food probe is inserted into the food. There is a temperature sensor in the metal tip which measures the core temperature of the food during cooking. The rise in the core temperature reflects the extent to which the food is cooked. You can programme the core temperature to be lower or higher, depending on whether you want your meat to be rare, medium or well done.

The core temperature of up to 99 °C can be set. Please refer to the Roasting chart and "Low temperature cooking" for the core temperatures applicable for different types of meat.

The duration for roasting meat by temperature using the probe is similar to the duration when cooking by time.

When to use it

Apart from Automatic programmes,

Special applications and User programmes, the food probe can be used with the following functions:

– Auto roast [

– Fan plus

U

– Conventional heat

V

– Fan grill

\

– Microwave solo _

Roasting

Important notes about using the food probe

Please note:

– You can place the meat in a pot, on the rack or in the glass dish, depending on the function selected.

– The metal tip of the food probe must be fully inserted into the centre of the food.

– When cooking poultry, insert the metal tip into the thickest part of the breast. You can find the thickest part of the breast by pressing the area with your thumb and index finger.

– Do not let the metal tip touch any bones or insert it into a particularly fatty area of the meat. If fat or bone come into contact with the probe, this can lead to the oven being switched off too early.

– If the meat is very heavily marbled with fat, select the highest core temperature given in the Roasting chart.

– When using roasting bags or aluminium foil, insert the probe through the bag or foil into the centre of the meat. You can also place the meat, with the food probe inserted, inside the foil. Follow the roasting bag / aluminium foil manufacturer's instructions.

95

Roasting

Using the food probe

^ Insert the metal tip of the food probe fully into the food.


^ Set the temperature or power level if necessary.

^ Set the core temperature if necessary.

^ Insert the plug of the food probe into the socket until you feel it engage.

^ Close the door.

^ Select the oven function or Automatic programme.

The core temperatures cannot be changed for the Automatic programmes.

You can also delay the start of the cooking programme to a later time.

Select the "Start at" option. In Automatic programmes select "Start later".

You can estimate approximately when the food will be ready as the duration of the cooking programme is about the same as if you were cooking food without using the food probe.

You cannot enter a "Duration" or "Ready at" time, as the total cooking duration is determined by how long it takes for the core temperature to be reached.

96

Roasting

Time left display

After a certain time, the estimated duration of the cooking process remaining (time left) will appear in the display.

The time remaining is calculated from the cooking temperature selected, the required core temperature and the pattern of the increasing core temperature.

The time remaining first shown is an estimate. As the cooking process continues the time remaining is revised continuously, and a more accurate revised figure shown.

Altering the cooking or core temperature or selecting a different function will delete the time left information.

The time remaining will be recalculated if the door is kept open for a long period of time.

Switching between the time remaining and the core temperature displays

You can switch between the time remaining and core temperature display as soon as the time remaining first appears in the display.

^ Select "Change".

^ Select Status".

^ Select whether you want the time remaining or the core temperature to show in the display and confirm your selection with "OK".

Using residual heat

The heating in the oven switches off shortly before the end of the cooking programme. The residual heat in the oven is sufficient to complete the cooking process.

Using the residual heat in the oven saves energy.

"Energy save phase" will appear in the display to show that the oven is in energy save mode. The measured core temperature is no longer visible.

The cooling fan continues to run, as does the hot air fan if a "fan" setting has been chosen.

When the core temperature selected has been reached,

Core temperature for food probe

1) Roast in a covered dish.

When roasting on the rack, set the temperature approx. 20 °C lower than for roasting in a covered oven dish.

2) Do not select a higher temperature than that advised. The meat will become brown, but will not be cooked properly.

3) If the meat is very heavily marbled with fat, select the highest core temperature given in the chart.

4) Do not cover the food.

5) Pre-heat the oven.

6) When using the food probe, enter an appropriate core temperature for the food being cooked.

99

Low temperature cooking

This method is ideal for cooking beef, pork, veal or lamb when a tender result is required.

First sear the meat all over at a high temperature on the hob in order to seal it.

Then place the meat in the pre-heated oven where the low temperature and long cooking duration will cook it to perfection and ensure it is very tender.

The meat will relax and the juices inside will start to circulate evenly throughout the meat to reach the outer layers. This will give very tender and succulent results.

Tips

– Use lean meat which has been correctly hung and trimmed. Bones should be removed before cooking.

– For searing, use a suitable cooking oil or fat that can withstand high temperatures (e.g. clarified butter, vegetable oil).

– Do not cover meat during cooking.

Cooking takes between 2-4 hours depending on the size and weight of the meat and on how well cooked you want it as well as the level of browning required.

After cooking

Because the cooking and core temperatures are very low:

– Meat can be carved straight from the oven. It does not need to rest.

– The cooking result will not be affected if the meat is left in the oven after the programme has finished. It can be kept warm until you serve it.

– The meat is an ideal temperature to eat straight away. Serve on pre-heated plates with very hot sauce or gravy to prevent it cooling down too quickly.

100


Using the "Low temperature cooking" special application

Use the glass tray with the rack placed on top of it.

^ Select "Special applications".

^ Select "Low temp. cooking".

^ Set the temperature.

^ Set the core temperature.


Place the glass tray and rack in the oven for the pre-heating phase.

^ Whilst the oven is pre-heating, sear the meat thoroughly on the hob.

,

Danger of burning. Use oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.

^ As soon as "Use the food probe" appears in the display, place the seared meat on the rack and insert the metal tip of the food probe fully into the centre of the meat.

Please also refer to the information in

"Roasting - Food probe".

^ Place the glass tray with the rack on top into the oven on the shelf level quoted.

,

Take care: the top heating element / grill element in the oven will be hot. Danger of burning.

^ Insert the plug of the food probe into the socket until you feel it engage.

^ Close the door.

At the end of the programme, "Process finished" will appear in the display and a buzzer will sound if the buzzer is switched on (see "Settings – Volume –

Buzzer tones").

If the meat is not cooked to your satisfaction you can cook it for longer.

101

Grilling duration +

– Flat pieces of fish and meat usually take 6–8 minutes per side.

It is best to grill food of a similar thickness at the same time so that the grilling duration for each item does not vary too greatly.

– Thicker pieces need about 7–9 minutes per side.

– With rolled meat, allow approx.

10 minutes per cm diameter.

Testing to see if cooked

One way of finding out how well a piece of meat has been cooked is to press down on it with a spoon:

Rare: If the meat gives easily to the pressure of the spoon, it will still be red on the inside.

Medium: If there is some resistance, the inside will be pink.

Well-done: If there is very little resistance, it is cooked through.

Check if the meat is cooked after the shortest time quoted.

Tip

If the surface of thicker cuts of meat is cooked but the centre is still raw, continue grilling at a lower temperature setting or use a lower shelf level to allow the food to cook through to the centre.

104

Grilling

Preparing food for grilling

Trim the meat. Do not season meat with salt before grilling as this draws the juices out.

Add a little oil to lean meat if necessary.

Do not use other types of fat as they can burn and cause smoke.

Clean fish in the normal way. To enhance the flavour, add a little salt or squeeze a little lemon juice over the fish.

Grilling

^ Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes with the door closed.

Do not set a microwave power level during pre-heating.

^ Place the food on the rack.

The duration required depends largely on the nature of the food, the amount and its initial temperature. Food that has been refrigerated, for example, takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature.

Please refer to the relevant charts.

107


Before defrosting, reheating and cooking

^ Place food (including frozen) in a dish that is suitable for microwave use, and cover it.

^ Place the dish in the middle of the glass tray on shelf level 1.

The food probe can be used to monitor the temperature when reheating or cooking (see "Roasting -

Food probe" in the operating instructions supplied with the appliance).

After defrosting, reheating and cooking

Allow the food to stand at room temperature for a few minutes to enable the heat to spread evenly throughout the food.

,

After reheating food, especially food for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger. Double check after it has been left to stand.

Danger of burning.

With Microwave combination programmes

Only use heat-resistant containers which are microwave safe.

A lid is not usually required.

Never use a lid with MW + Auto roast

L and MW + Grill b as the food will not brown.

,

Danger of burning. Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. Although heat is not normally produced in the container itself by the microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat transfer from the food to the container may be considerable, making the container itself hot.

^ Place the glass tray on shelf level 2.

Place ready-meals in aluminium foil dishes on the glass tray.

Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.

During the defrosting, reheating and cooking process

^ Turn or stir the food several times.

Stir the food from the outside towards the middle, as food heats more quickly from the outside.

If in any doubt that a sufficiently high temperature has been reached, continue cooking or reheating for a little longer.

108


Ensure that food, such as meat, poultry and fish, are cooked for an appropriate length of time. The food probe can be used to monitor the temperature when reheating or cooking (see "Roasting -

Food probe").

Set a core temperature of at least:

70 °C for fish and,

85 °C for poultry.

We do not recommend heating or reheating food or drinks for babies or young children in the microwave oven. Any decision to do this is the responsibility of the user, and should only be done with the utmost care. Pasteurised or sterilised cooked food should be gently heated for 1/2 to 1 minute at

450 W, and tasted to make sure it is not too hot for a baby's palate before serving. When reheating other food or drink, heat to a high temperature and allow to cool to a suitable heat for eating. For formula milk follow the manufacturer's instructions.

When heating liquids, the boiling rod provided should always be placed in the container.

It helps liquids to heat evenly and make sure the bubble are produced at the right time.

Never reheat hard boiled eggs using Microwave solo _ even without the shell. The eggs can explode.

Tips on cooking

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.

Eggs can only be cooked in their shells using Microwave solo

_ in a specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist shops. Eggs can burst, even after they have been taken out of the oven.

Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles.

With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed.

Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.

The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Use

Defrosting large quantities of food at once, e.g. 2 kg fish

Reheating food

Cooking vegetables

Cooking frozen ready-meals

Notes

The glass tray can be used on shelf level 1 for defrosting food.

Always cover food when reheating it, except when reheating meat/fish coated in breadcrumbs.

Add a little water to vegetables which have been kept stored.

Vegetable cooking times depend on the texture of the vegetable. Fresh vegetables contain more water than vegetables which have been stored and usually cook more quickly.

Deep-frozen, ready-made meals can be defrosted and then reheated or cooked in one process. Follow the instructions on the packet.

Charts for defrosting, reheating and cooking food

The following notes apply to all charts:

– Take note of the recommended microwave power levels, durations and standing times. These take the consistency, the quantity and the initial temperature of the food into account.

– You are generally advised to select the middle duration.

– Place the food on the glass tray and place the glass tray on shelf level 1.

,

Danger of burning. Make sure the oven heating elements are switched off and that the oven cavity is cool.

,

Danger of injury. Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Clean the oven interior, inside of the door and door seal as soon as the oven has cooled down. Waiting too long can make cleaning unnecessarily difficult and in some cases impossible. In certain circumstances, very heavy soiling can even damage the appliance.

Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage.

If any damage is noticed, the oven should not be used again in microwave mode until the fault has been rectified by a service technician.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

To avoid damaging the surfaces, do not use:

– cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides,

– cleaning agents containing descaling agents on the oven front,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

– glass cleaning agents,

– cleaning agents for ceramic hobs,

– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e. g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,

– melamine eraser blocks,

– sharp metal scrapers or tools,

– wire wool or metal scourers,

– stainless steel spiral pads,

– spot cleaning,

– oven cleaner*.

* these can, however, be used to remove very heavy soiling from

PerfectClean treated surfaces.

124


Normal soiling

Soiling might become impossible to remove if it is not dealt with.

Continued use of the oven without regular cleaning will make it much harder to keep clean.

Soiling is, therefore, best removed after each use of the oven.

Do not use too much water on the cloth or sponge and do not let water or any other liquid find its way into any openings.

Only the glass tray and the boiling rod are dishwasher proof.

Tips

– Soiling caused by spilt juices and cake mixtures is best removed whilst the oven is still warm. Exercise caution and make sure the oven is not too hot - danger of burning.

– The top heat/grill element can be lowered to make it easier to clean the oven.

– To neutralise odours in the oven, put a container of water with some lemon juice in the oven and heat for a few minutes.

^ It is best to remove normal soiling immediately using a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid or with a clean, damp microfibre cloth.

^ After cleaning make sure all residual cleaning agent is thoroughly removed with clean water. This is particularly important when cleaning

PerfectClean surfaces as cleaning agent residues can impair the non-stick properties.

^ After cleaning and rinsing, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

Food probe

^ Clean the food probe with a damp cloth only.

Do not put the food probe into water or clean it in the dishwasher as this will damage it.

125


Stubborn soiling

Spilt fruit and roasting juices may cause lasting discolouration or matt patches on enamelled surfaces.

This discolouration is permanent but will not affect the efficiency of the finish. Do not try to remove this discolouration! Clean these following the instructions given here.

^ Moisten stubborn soiling with a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid and leave for a few minutes to take effect.

^ You can then also use the scouring pad on the back of a washing-up sponge to remove the soiling.

^ After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth.

^ Very stubborn soiling on

PerfectClean treated enamel can be cleaned using Miele oven cleaner. It must be applied to surface when cold. Follow instructions on the packaging.

Non-Miele oven spray must only be used in a cold oven and for no longer than a maximum of 10 minutes.

^ You can then also use the scouring pad on the back of a washing-up sponge to remove the soiling.

^ After cleaning, remove all oven cleaning agent residues thoroughly with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth.

126


Lowering the top heat/grill element

If the oven interior roof is badly soiled, the top heat/grill element can be lowered to make cleaning easier.

,

Danger of burning.

Make sure the oven heating elements are switched off and cool.

Do not use force to lower it as this can cause it to break.

^ To lower the top heat/grill element, the nut needs to be unscrewed.

^ Carefully lower the top heat/grill element.

^ Clean the roof of the oven regularly with a damp cloth or a dishwashing sponge.

^ After cleaning, raise the top heat/grill element gently back up again. Refit the nut and tighten to secure the element back in position.

127

Problem solving guide

With the aid of the following guide, minor problems can be easily corrected without contacting Miele. If having followed the suggestions below, you still cannot resolve the problem, please contact Miele (see back cover for contact details).

,

Danger of injury.

Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Do not attempt to open the casing of the oven yourself.

Problem

The display is dark.

A programme will not start.

Possible cause and remedy

The time of day is switched off. It will not appear in the display until the oven is switched on.

The time can be displayed constantly (see "Settings -

Time - Display").

There is no power to the oven.

^ Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. If it has, contact a qualified electrician or Miele.

^ If using a programme with microwave power, make sure that you have entered a power level and a duration.

^ If using a Microwave combination programme, make sure you have entered a power level and a duration for the microwave mode and a temperature for the conventional oven function.

128


Problem

When the oven is switched on "System lock

0" will appear in the display.

The oven does not heat up.


The system lock

0 is active.

It can be released by pressing the OK sensor for at least 6 seconds.

The system lock can be permanently deactivated (see

"Settings – System lock

0").

^ Check whether "On" has been selected for demo mode (see "Settings - Showroom programme").

"Power cut - Process cancelled" appears in the display.

If demo mode has been switched on the oven can be operated but it will not heat up.

^ Deactivate demo mode.

There has been a power cut which has caused a current process to stop.

^ Switch the oven off and then back on again.

Start the cooking programme again.

12:00 appears in the display.

The power supply was interrupted for longer than 200 hours.

^ Reset the time and date.

The message

"Maximum operating duration reached" appears unexpectedly in the display.

" ; Fault XX" appears in the display.

The oven has been operating for an unusually long time and this has activated the safety switch-off function.

^ Select "OK". Touch # to delete "Process finished".

The oven will then be ready for use again.

There is a problem that you cannot resolve.

^ Call the Miele Service Department.

129


Problem

The food probe is not recognised by the oven.

You cannot set a core temperature.


^ Check that the food probe is engaged in the socket properly.

If the oven still does not recognise the food probe it must be faulty.

A replacement food probe can be ordered from Miele or from your Miele dealer.

If the door is opened whilst using Microwave solo _, the oven stops making a noise.

This is not a fault. If microwave power is being used the cooling fan will switch off when the door is opened.

A noise can be heard after a cooking process.

An abnormal sound can be heard when the oven is operating in microwave mode.

The fan remains switched on after a cooking programme (see "Settings - Cooling fan run-on").

^ Check if there are sparks caused by using metal dishes (see "Suitable containers for microwave use").

^ Check if the food is covered with aluminium foil. If it is, remove the foil.

^ Check if the rack is inside the oven.

Always use the glass tray when using the oven with

Microwave power.

The oven has switched itself off.

The oven will switch itself off automatically to save energy if no other action is taken within a certain time frame after switching it on or after the end of a cooking programme.

^ Switch the oven back on.

130


Problem

Cakes and biscuits are not cooked properly after following the times given in the chart.


A different temperature from the one given in the recipe was used.

^ Select the temperature required for the recipe.

The ingredient quantities are different from those given in the recipe.

^ Double check the recipe. The addition of more liquid or more eggs makes a moister mix which would take longer to cook.

Browning is uneven.

The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected.

^ There will always be a slight unevenness. If the unevenness is pronounced, check that the correct temperature and shelf level have been selected.

The material or colour of the baking tin is not suitable for the oven function.

Bright shiny tins are not very suitable. Try using a different tin next time. These reflect heat, which means that the heat does not penetrate to the food effectively, resulting in uneven or poor browning.

^ Dark matt tins are best for baking.

131


Problem

The food is not sufficiently heated or is not cooked at the end of a set duration when using Microwave solo

_.


^ Check that you remembered to restart the programme after interrupting a cooking process using microwave power.

^ Check that the correct duration was selected for the power level chosen when cooking or reheating with microwave power.

The lower the power level the longer the duration.

Food has cooled down too quickly after being reheated or cooked in microwave mode.

The oven lighting switches off after a short time.

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.

When reheating food with different densities, such as plated meals, it is sensible to start with a low power level and select a longer reheating duration.

The oven lighting is set to switch off after 15 seconds

(default setting).

You can change the default setting for this (see

"Settings - Lighting").

132


Problem

The oven lighting does not switch on.


The halogen lamp needs replacing.

Danger of burning.

I. Quark filling

Ingredients

500 g quark

100 g sugar

Approx. 100 ml milk

2 tsp vanilla sugar

Juice of one lemon

12 leaves of white gelatine

500 ml double cream

For dusting:

100 g dark chocolate

6 leaves of white gelatine

80 ml Espresso

500 ml double cream

4 tsp vanilla sugar

80 ml coffee liqueur

1 tbsp cocoa powder

For dusting:

Cocoa powder

Method

Mix together the quark, sugar, milk, vanilla sugar and lemon juice. Soak the gelatine in cold water for about 10 minutes. Squeeze the gelatine, then dissolve it for 20 seconds using microwave power at 450 W in the microwave oven or in a pan on a low hob setting. Stir a little of the quark mixture into the gelatine and when cool, add this mixture to the remainder of the quark mixture. Stir several times as it thickens. When visible traces are left in the mixture after running a fork through it, fold in the stiffly whipped cream.

Place one round of cake on a serving platter and spread some of the quark mixture over it. Top it with another layer of the cake. Add some more of the mixture, then top it with the final piece of the cake. Place in the refrigerator to chill and then dust with icing sugar before serving.

Tip: For a fruity variation, add about

300 g of bottled and drained sour cherries or mandarin orange segments to the quark mixture.

Method

Melt the chocolate. Beat the cream until stiff. Soak the gelatine in cold water for about 10 minutes. Squeeze the gelatine, then dissolve it for 20 seconds using microwave power at 450 W in the microwave oven or in a pan on a low hob setting. Leave to cool slightly. Then stir half the espresso and half the coffee liqueur into the gelatine and add to the remaining whipped cream. Put about 3 tbsp of the cream to one side.

Divide the rest of the cream in half and stir the vanilla sugar into one half and the melted chocolate and cocoa powder into the other.

Place one round on a serving platter and drizzle with a little coffee liqueur and espresso. Spread the chocolate cream over this and top with another layer of the cake. Drizzle with the remaining liqueur and espresso.

Spread this with the vanilla-flavoured cream, then top it with the final piece of cake. Spread the cream you put to one side over the top of the cake and dust with a little cocoa powder before serving.
