suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with current
local and national safety regulations (GasSafe in the UK).

Warning and Safety instructions
10
If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the Range Cooker must be connected to
the electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
 Before connecting the Range Cooker to the mains supply, ensure
that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven
lighting is faulty (see “Problem solving guide”), the Range Cooker
must be completely disconnected from the household electricity
supply.). The gas inlet valve must be closed To ensure this:
– disconnect the mains fuse, or
– completely unscrew the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is
applicable), or
– switch off at the isolator switch, or switch off at the wall socket
and withdraw the plug. Do not pull on the cable, but pull the plug
instead in order to do this.
– Close the gas inlet valve.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use these to
connect the Range Cooker to the mains electricity supply.
 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the Range Cooker will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the Range Cooker housing under any circumstances.
 This Range Cooker must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 While the Range Cooker is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 Danger of electric shock! Do not use the hob if it is faulty, or if the
ceramic surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch
it off immediately. Disconnect the Range Cooker from the mains
electricity supply. Call the Service Department.
 The Range Cooker requires a sufficient supply of cool air for
efficient operation. Ensure that the supply of cool air is not impaired.
Furthermore the required supply of cool air must not be excessively
heated by other heat sources (e.g. solid fuel stoves).
 If the Range Cooker is to be built in behind a furniture front (e.g. a
door) do not close the door while the Range Cooker is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind the closed door. This can result in
damage to the Range Cooker, surrounding cupboards and the floor.
Leave the furniture front/door open until the Range Cooker has
cooled down completely.

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care
 The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the Range Cooker.
 Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Do
not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean the door glass.
 The side runners can be removed for cleaning (see “Cleaning and
care”).
Ensure that they are replaced correctly.
 Coarse soiling should be removed before running the Pyrolytic
cleaning programme. If not removed, coarse soiling can smoke and
cause the Pyrolytic cleaning programme to switch itself off.
 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
Stainless steel appliances
 Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it to
lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes,
transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesive
on the stainless steel surface.
 The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratching.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Accessories
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept
liability.
 Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is
faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food
probe.
 The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures.
Do not use the food probe when using the grill functions (exception:
Fan Grill). Do not store the food probe in the oven if it is not in
use.
 The high temperatures used during pyrolytic cleaning will damage
accessories that are not designed for cleaning in the Pyrolytic
programme. Please remove these accessories from the oven interior
before starting the Pyrolytic cleaning programme. This also applies
to non-pyrolytic accessories purchased separately to the oven (see
“Cleaning and care”).

Caring for the environment
14
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.
