Problem Possible cause and remedy
Food is not adequately
defrosted, heated or
cooked at the end of
the selected cooking
duration. The duration or power level were insufficient to cook
the food.
 Check whether the correct power level was
selected for the duration set.
The lower the power level, the longer the duration
required.

Check whether the programme has been
interrupted and not restarted.
The microwave
operation works but not
the lighting. The lamp needs to be replaced.
You can operate the appliance as normal, but without
the lighting.

Contact Miele if you need to replace the lamp.
Strange noises are
heard when the
microwave oven is
being used. The food is covered with aluminium foil.

Remove the aluminium foil.
Sparks are being created by the use of crockery with
a metallic finish.

Please observe the information on suitable
containers for microwave use.
The time of day in the
display is not accurate. The time of day must be reset following an
interruption to the power supply.

Set the correct time of day.
Food cools down too
quickly. In a 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 recommended to select a lower power
level and lengthen the duration.
