. . . the microwave function is
working but not the oven lighting.
^
You can operate the appliance as
usual, but the lamp has blown. To
replace the lamp, contact Miele.
. . . strange noises are heard when
the microwave oven is in use.
Check whether:
^
The food is covered with aluminum
foil.
If so, remove it.
^ Sparks are being created by the use
of crockery with a metallic finish (see
"Suitable cookware for microwave
ovens").
. . . the clock in the display is not
accurate.
After a power outage, the clock will
need to be reset.
^ Set the correct time of day.
. . . food cools down too quickly.
In the microwave oven, food begins to
cook from the outside first. From there,
the heat moves toward the inside of the
food.
If the food was cooked at a high power
level, it is possible that the heat may not
have reached the center of the food
yet, causing it to be hot on the outside
but cold in the middle. During the
standing time, the heat is then
transferred to the center of the food.
This may leave the food warm in the
middle but cold on the outside. When
reheating food with different
consistencies, such as plated meals, it
is therefore useful to select a lower
power level and lengthen the cooking
time.
. . . the microwave oven turns off
during a cooking, reheating or
defrosting program.
There may be insufficient air circulation.
Check whether:
^
The air inlet or outlet is blocked.
Remove any objects if necessary. For
safety reasons, the appliance may
automatically turn off if it overheats.
Cooking can be resumed after a cool-
down period.
If the microwave oven turns off
repeatedly, please contact Miele.

If you are not able to solve the
problem by following the
instructions above, do not, under
any circumstances, open the
appliance casing.
This microwave oven should only be
repaired by a Miele authorized
technician.
