The Miele H 7840 BM (H7840BM) in stainless steel with a CleanSteel finish is a compact microwave combination oven with Miele's large M Touch display. It's 3 in 1, working as an oven, a microwave or an oven with microwave function, so it can bake, roast, reheat and defrost from one 43 l cavity. The PureLine design suits a column alongside a full-size Miele oven.

Cooking

There are 3 shelf levels and a temperature range of 30 to 250 °C. Oven modes run from Fan plus and Conventional heat to Intensive bake, Auto roast, Grill, Fan grill, Bottom heat, Low temperature cooking and Defrosting. On its own the microwave offers 80, 150, 300, 450, 600, 850 and 1000 W, and it can be combined with Fan plus, Grill, Fan grill or Auto roast. Quick & Gentle, Miele's combined mode, aims for faster, more consistent results. The wired food probe reads the core temperature, and automatic programmes and special applications set things up for you.

Controls and everyday use

The M Touch display works with MotionReact: approach and the light and screen come on, and a buzzer can be acknowledged without touching anything. MyMiele, a help function and polyphonic buzzers round it off. You also get:

• Quick microwave and a Popcorn button
• A minute minder and programmable start, end and cooking duration
• A SoftOpen and SoftClose door and a Sabbath programme
• A linen-structure stainless-steel cavity with PerfectClean and a hinged grill element
• Miele@home WiFi with push notifications, recipes and Alexa or Google voice control
