Page 8: Warning And Safety Instructions
They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance. Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non- compliance with these instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the contents. - Page 9 Warning and Safety instructions Do not use the microwave 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.
- Page 10 Do not use a damaged appliance. If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from danger. Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user.
- Page 11 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been built in. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised service technician.
- Page 12 The appliance must be disconnected from the mains electrical supply during repair work, cleaning or maintenance. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts.
- Page 13 Warning and Safety instructions Correct use 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 14 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 15 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. Otherwise pressure builds up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.
- Page 16 Warning and Safety instructions When boiling and in particular when heating up liquid using microwave power, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached with 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.
- Page 17 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 electrical supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
- Page 18 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 19 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 20 The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause scratching. Accessories Use only genuine original Miele accessories. Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
