Frequently Asked Questions
. . . 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.

. . . the clock in the display is not accurate.

^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.
