Problem solving guide

. . . 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 a power cut, the time automatically switches back to 12:00. The time of day needs to be re-set.

^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 start with a low power level and lengthen the duration required.

. . . the microwave 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 suitably qualified technician trained by Miele.
