Depending on the model, useful Miele microwave features include Automatic programmes, Quick Microwave, keeping-warm functions, integrated grills, Quick & Gentle inverter technology, Crisp functions, food probes, Miele@home connectivity and coordinated controls designed to match other Miele built-in appliances.
When comparing Miele microwaves, consider whether you need microwave-only cooking, conventional oven functionality, steam cooking, built-in installation or a freestanding appliance.
Miele Built-In Microwaves
Miele built-in microwave ovens provide dedicated microwave cooking within a fitted-kitchen installation.
These appliances are well suited to everyday tasks such as reheating meals, defrosting food, warming drinks and preparing smaller dishes without using a conventional oven.
Current built-in Miele microwave models include compact appliances with side-mounted controls as well as larger TopControl models designed to coordinate closely with Miele ovens and other built-in cooking appliances.
Selected models feature Automatic programmes, allowing the user to select a food type and weight while the microwave determines suitable power and cooking time.
Other convenience features can include Quick Microwave, automatic keeping warm, timer functions, SoftOpen and SoftClose doors and dedicated popcorn programmes.
Miele Microwave Combination Ovens
A Miele microwave combination oven combines microwave cooking with conventional oven functions.
This means one appliance can be used for quick reheating and defrosting as well as baking, roasting, grilling and other conventional cooking tasks.
Selected Miele combination microwave ovens provide operating modes including Fan Plus, conventional heat, grill, fan grill, auto roast and microwave-assisted combinations.
This makes them particularly useful where kitchen space is limited or where an additional oven is required without installing another full-size appliance.
A Miele combination microwave oven can also work well as part of a larger appliance bank alongside a conventional Miele oven, steam oven, coffee machine or warming drawer.
What is Miele Quick & Gentle?
Selected Miele microwave combination ovens feature Quick & Gentle technology.
Quick & Gentle uses inverter technology to provide finely adjustable microwave power rather than relying solely on conventional fixed power cycling.
This allows microwave power to be controlled more precisely and can provide more consistent cooking and reheating results.
Miele currently uses Quick & Gentle across its microwave combination oven range, including models such as the H 7440 BM and H 7840 BM.
Quick & Gentle is particularly relevant when microwave power is combined with conventional oven functions because the appliance can balance microwave energy and dry heat according to the selected programme.
Miele Quick Microwave
Quick Microwave provides fast access to maximum microwave power without requiring several settings to be selected first.
It can be useful for common tasks such as quickly reheating drinks or small portions of food.
Quick Microwave is available across selected dedicated Miele microwave ovens as well as microwave combination models.
The exact power output varies by appliance, so check the individual model specification if maximum microwave wattage is important to you.
Miele Automatic Programmes
Automatic programmes are available across many Miele microwaves and microwave combination ovens.
Instead of manually selecting microwave power and cooking time, the user chooses the appropriate programme and, where required, enters information such as the food weight.
The appliance then determines suitable cooking settings.
Automatic programmes can be particularly useful for defrosting, reheating and preparing commonly cooked foods where repeatable results are more useful than manually experimenting with time and power.
Combination microwave ovens provide an even broader selection of automatic programmes because they can use both microwave energy and conventional oven functions.
Miele Microwaves with Grill
Selected Miele microwave ovens include an integrated grill.
A grill allows food to be browned and crisped after or during microwave cooking, addressing one of the limitations of microwave-only heating.
The freestanding Miele M 6012 SC, for example, combines a 900W microwave with an integrated Quartz grill and can use microwave and grill functions together.
Combination microwave ovens provide even greater grilling flexibility through conventional grill and fan-grill operating modes.
If browning and crisping are important to you, check whether the individual Miele microwave includes a grill or full combination oven functionality.
Miele Microwave Ovens with Crisp Function
Selected Miele microwave combination ovens feature a Crisp function.
This is designed to reduce moisture within the oven compartment during suitable cooking processes, helping foods such as pizza and chips develop a crisper finish.
Crisp functionality is particularly useful when the appliance is being used as a compact conventional oven rather than simply for microwave reheating.
The feature is available on selected higher-specification combination microwave ovens and varies by model.
Miele Microwaves with Food Probe
Selected premium Miele microwave combination ovens include a food probe.
The probe monitors the core temperature of food while it cooks and can be particularly useful for meat and fish where internal temperature provides a better indication of cooking progress than time alone.
Current higher-specification appliances such as the Miele H 7840 BM include a wired food probe alongside microwave, conventional oven and combination cooking functions.
This gives the appliance considerably more cooking capability than a conventional microwave oven.
Miele@home Smart Microwaves
Many current Miele microwave combination ovens support Miele@home connectivity.
Compatible appliances can connect to Miele's smart-home platform for supported functionality such as appliance information, notifications, recipes and software updates.
Selected higher-specification appliances also provide additional connected features through the Miele app.
Miele@home availability varies considerably between dedicated microwave ovens and combination models, so check the individual product specification if smart connectivity is important to you.
Miele Built-In Microwave Sizes
Miele built-in microwaves are available in several formats.
Compact dedicated microwave models can fit within relatively shallow-height appliance niches, while larger built-in microwaves use approximately 45cm-high installation formats designed to coordinate with other built-in cooking appliances.
For example, selected TopControl Miele microwaves provide a large internal compartment while fitting within an approximately 45cm-high kitchen niche.
Miele microwave combination ovens also commonly use a compact built-in format around 45cm high, allowing them to be installed above or alongside a conventional 60cm oven.
Always check the actual niche dimensions rather than relying purely on descriptions such as “built-in” or “compact”.
Compact Miele Microwave Combination Ovens
Miele compact microwave combination ovens are particularly useful in premium kitchens where several cooking technologies need to fit within one appliance bank.
Their compact height allows them to be positioned alongside Miele steam ovens, coffee machines or warming drawers while still providing conventional oven and microwave capability.
Despite their smaller external height, these appliances provide substantial cooking functionality including baking, roasting, grilling, microwave heating and combination modes.
Higher-specification models can also include automatic programmes, food probes, smart connectivity and advanced control displays.
Miele Handleless Microwave Ovens
Selected Miele microwave combination ovens are available in handleless formats.
These models are designed to coordinate with Miele ArtLine and other contemporary built-in appliance designs where uninterrupted surfaces are preferred.
Handleless microwave combination ovens such as selected BMX models are available in finishes including Obsidian Black, Obsidian Black Matt, Graphite Grey and Pearl Beige.
This makes it possible to coordinate the microwave closely with neighbouring Miele ovens, steam appliances and coffee machines.
Miele Freestanding Microwaves
Miele also offers freestanding microwave cooking for customers who do not require built-in installation.
The current Appliance Superstore range includes the Miele M 6012 SC freestanding microwave, which combines 900W microwave power with automatic programmes, a Quartz grill and a 26-litre cooking compartment.
A freestanding microwave provides more flexibility because it does not require a dedicated kitchen cabinet niche.
It can be a useful option for existing kitchens, utility spaces or situations where a built-in appliance is impractical.
Miele Steam Ovens with Microwave
Selected Miele appliances combine steam cooking and microwave functionality.
These DGM models are different from conventional microwave combination ovens.
A traditional microwave combination oven combines microwave energy with dry oven heat, while a Miele steam oven with microwave combines microwave convenience with dedicated steam cooking.
This allows suitable food to be steamed, reheated and cooked using microwave assistance within one appliance.
Customers primarily interested in steam cooking should also explore the dedicated Miele Steam Cooking range, where these appliances can be compared alongside Miele steam and combination steam ovens.
Microwave Combination Oven or Conventional Oven?
A Miele microwave combination oven can perform many of the tasks associated with a conventional oven while adding microwave functionality.
This makes it particularly useful as a second oven or in kitchens where installation space is limited.
However, a conventional full-size Miele Oven generally provides a larger cooking compartment and may be better suited to large trays, multiple shelf levels and regular family cooking.
For a premium kitchen, the two appliances can work particularly well together: a full-size conventional oven handles larger cooking tasks while the compact microwave combination oven provides additional capacity and rapid microwave cooking.
Coordinating Miele Microwaves with Other Appliances
Miele built-in microwaves and microwave combination ovens are designed to coordinate with the wider Miele cooking range.
Available finishes include stainless steel/CleanSteel, Obsidian Black, Graphite Grey, Pearl Beige and selected matt-black designs.
Control styles also vary across the range, from straightforward EasySensor operation through to DirectSensor and M Touch interfaces on more advanced appliances.
When planning several Miele appliances together, compare appliance height, controls, door style, handles and finish to create a consistent built-in installation.
