Miele H 4010 BM, H 4020 BM manual

Warning and Safety instructions

This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning.

The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open. The user could be injured and the appliance damaged.

The boiling rod ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that bubbles form at an early stage during the operation.

Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing

metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or cream pots with the tinfoil lid only partially removed. Such items could be damaged or cause a fire hazard.

The combi rack supplied with the appliance must be used with the

glass tray. It is designed to be compatible with microwaves and can therefore be used with the microwave function. Do not place it on the oven floor.

N.B. It gets hot when using the microwave function. Danger of burning.

Do not leave the oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic,

paper or other inflammable materials. Before using single use containers make sure they are suitable for use in microwave ovens. See appropriate section.

Eggs can only be cooked in their shells using microwave heat in a specially designed egg-boiling device

available from specialist shops. Similarly, hard-boiled eggs should not be reheated using microwave heat as this may lead to the eggs exploding, even after they have been taken out of the oven.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave heat only if

the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.

The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Danger of injury.

Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are

intended for use in normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket

potatoes and 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 with the microwave function 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.
