Miele H 177 MB H 186 MB Microwave Oven User Manual


 
Do not use any containers or cut
-
lery made from or containing metal,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware,
temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden
utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire
ties. Such items could be damaged, or
cause a fire hazard.
The rack supplied with the appliance is
designed to be compatible with micro
-
waves, and can therefore be used with
or without the microwave function.
The rack gets hot when operating
either the microwave function or
the browning element, or both. There is
a danger of burning.
Eggs can only be cooked in their
shells in the microwave oven in a
specially designed egg-boiling device.
Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not
be reheated in the microwave oven as
this may lead to the eggs bursting,
even once they have been removed
from the oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave oven only if
the yolk membrane has been punc
-
tured several times first. The pressure
would otherwise cause the egg yolk to
explode.
Do not reheat food in the oven in
heat-retaining bags intended for
normal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually con
-
tain a thin layer of aluminium foil which
reflects microwaves. This reflected en
-
ergy can, in turn, cause the outer paper
covering to become so hot that it ig
-
nites.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as tomatoes, sausages, jacket po
-
tatoes, aubergines, should be pierced
or cut in several places to allow steam
to escape and prevent the food from
bursting.
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.
Traditional oven functions:
Fan Heat, Auto Roast, Grill, Fan Grill
Caution - Danger of burning
When the oven is being used as a
traditional oven it can get very hot.
Great care should be taken to en-
sure that small children do not
touch the oven when it is being used.
External parts of the oven such as door
glass, handle vents and the facia panel
can become quite hot.
Wearing heat-resistant oven gloves
is recommended when placing
food in the oven, turning or removing it.
When the Grill or Fan Grill function has
been chosen, either solo or in a combi
