. . . the microwave function is
working but not the oven lighting.
^
You can use the appliance as you
usually do, but the lamp has blown.
To change the lamp, please contact
the Miele Service Department.
. . . strange noises are heard when
the microwave oven is being used.
Check whether,
^
the food is covered with aluminium
foil.
If so, remove it.
^ sparks are being created by the use
of crockery with a metallic finish. See
notes on suitable types of containers.
. . . the time of day in the display is
not accurate.
If there has been an interruption to the
power supply, the time of day will need
to be re-entered.
^
Set the correct time of day.
. . . food cools down too quickly.
In the microwave oven, 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, so it is
hot on the outside but cold in the
centre. During standing time heat is
transferred to the centre of the food.
This may leave the food warm in the
middle but cool on the outside. When
reheating food with different densities,
such as plated meals, it is therefore
sensible to select a lower power level
and lengthen the duration required.
. . . the microwave oven switches
itself off during a cooking, reheating
or defrosting programme.
There may be insufficient air circulation.
Check whether,
^
the air inlet or outlet is blocked.
Remove any objects if necessary. The
appliance switches off automatically in
cases of overheating. Cooking can be
continued after a cooling-down period.
If the microwave oven switches itself off
repeatedly, please call the Miele
Service Department.
,
If it is not possible to remedy a
fault by following the instructions
given above, on no account open
the appliance casing.
This microwave oven should only be
repaired by a Miele authorised and
trained service technician.
