Warning and safety instructions
Risk of injury caused by hot food. When heating food up, the heat
is created directly in the food itself. For this reason the crockery will
remain cooler than the food (except when using oven-proof stone-
ware). The crockery is only warmed by the heat of the food.
Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food itself
after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container is not
an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is par-
ticularly important when preparing food for babies, children, and
the elderly or infirm. After reheating food, especially food for babies
and small children, stir the food or shake the container and check that
the temperature does not pose any danger of burning. Double check
after it has been left to stand.
Risk of injury from increased pressure in closed containers or
bottles. Pressure can build up during reheating in sealed containers
or bottles, causing them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand. In the case of baby bottles, the screw
top and teat must be removed.
If you cook eggs without their shells, the yolks could explode due
to the resulting pressure.
Prick the yolk several times before cooking to avoid this.
Eggs heated in their shells can burst, even after they have been
taken out of the oven compartment.
Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in a specially designed egg-
boiling device. Do not reheat hard boiled eggs using the Micro-
wave function.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage, pota-
toes and aubergines can burst when heated or cooked.
Pierce or score the skin of these types of food several times to allow
steam to escape.
Do not use thermometers containing mercury or liquid as these
are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and break very
easily.
Only use the Miele food probe supplied with the appliance to meas-
ure the temperature of the food.
Cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, gel, etc., such as those
used in aromatherapy, can ignite when heated even after they have
been removed from the oven compartment.
Do not heat these up in the oven.
