Why is a noise heard after turning the oven off?

This is normal. The fan will continue to run for a short time to cool the oven. When
the oven has cooled sufficiently, the fan will turn off automatically.
The fan will stop if the door is opened during the cooling phase. The fan will
continue when the door is closed again until the cooling phase is complete.

Why are there strange noises when the microwave oven is being used?

Possible fault

Solution

Sparks are created by the use of
dishware with a metallic finish.

See "Selecting cookware".

The food is covered with aluminum
foil.

Remove the aluminum foil.

Why does the oven operate but the light is off?

The light bulb is bad. See "Frequently asked questions - Changing a light bulb".

Fault messages "F XX" appear in the display.

Contact Miele's Technical Service Department.

Why is there uneven browning?

Possible fault

Solution

Oven temperature too high.

Use a lower cooking temperature.

Shiny or thin pans were used.

See "Selecting cookware".
