any way (e.g., by installing heat insulation strips in the cabinet niche).
In addition, the required supply of cool air must not be excessively
heated by other heat sources.
 Reaching over a hot cooktop to access the cabinets can result in
burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a range hood
that extends at least 4 3/4" (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabinets.
Correct use
 Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not
glowing. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.
External parts of the oven such as the door glass, vents, and the control
panel can become hot. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials come into contact with heating elements or
interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Burn hazard!
Hot vapors are emitted above the island trim during Self Clean as
well as when cooking food in the oven. You could burn yourself on
the hot vapors.
Do not reach above the island trim and keep others away from it
when you are using the oven.
 Hot vapors are emitted above the island trim during Self Clean as
well as when cooking food in the oven.
The emission of vapors can soil and discolor surfaces above the
island trim. Take precautions to protect sensitive surfaces such as
marble, granite, and tiles against soiling and discoloration (surfaces
of this nature can be difficult or even impossible to clean).
10

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Do not let food sit in the oven for an extended period of time
before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or
sickness.
 Loose fitting or hanging garments present a fire hazard. Wear
proper apparel while operating the appliance.
 Use only dry, heat-resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let

an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air
flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
 Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
 This oven must only be used for cooking food. Corrosive
chemicals and vapors as well as fumes, vapors or heat given off by
glues, plastics or flammable liquids and materials could be
hazardous. Do not use it as a dryer, kiln, dehumidifier, etc.
 Do not let metal objects (aluminum foil, pans) come in contact
with the heating element.
 Make certain that the power cords of small appliances do not
come in contact with or get caught in the oven door.
 When baking frozen pizzas or pies, place them on the wire rack
lined with parchment paper. Do not use the baking tray or the
roasting pan for frozen foods with a large surface area. The tray or
pan could become warped and difficult to remove from the oven
when hot. Frozen foods like french fries, chicken nuggets, etc. can
be baked on the baking tray.
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. The oven gets hot during
operation. You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven
compartment, accessories, or food.
When the oven is hot, use pot holders to insert, remove, or turn food,
as well as when adjusting the oven shelves, etc.
 The high temperatures radiated could cause objects near the oven
to catch fire.
Do not use the oven to heat the room.
 Oils and fats are a fire hazard if allowed to overheat. Never leave
the oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Never attempt to
put out oil or fat fires with water. Turn the oven off and extinguish the

12

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Do not use water on cooktop grease fires. Turn the cooktop off.
Smother or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher on any fire
or flame.
 Broiling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it
to dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the
recommended cooking durations.
 Certain foods dry out quickly and may catch fire due to high
broiling temperatures.
Never use broiling modes to finish baking par-cooked rolls or bread,
or to dry flowers or herbs. Use the Convection Bake (Conv
Bake)operating mode.
 If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to evaporate. The vapor can
catch fire on hot heating elements.
 Plastic or aluminum foil cookware melts at high temperatures and
can damage the range or start to burn. Do not use any plastic or
aluminum foil cookware.
Exception: You can use oven-safe plastic cookware in the oven.
Heed the cookware manufacturer's instructions.
 When using residual heat to keep food warm, corrosion from high
air humidity and condensation can occur in the oven. This can cause
damage to the control panel, countertop, and cabinet carcase. Keep
the oven on and select the lowest temperature available for the
selected operating mode. The cooling fan will then continue to run
automatically.
 Food which is stored in the oven compartment or left in it to be kept
warm can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion
damage in the oven. Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep
warm.
13

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 A buildup of heat can cause the floor of the oven to crack or flake
off.
Never line the floor of the oven with aluminum foil or oven liners.
If you wish to place dishware on the floor of the oven during the
cooking process, or place dishware on the floor of the oven to heat it
up, you can do so, but only with the Convection Bake (Conv
Bake)operating mode.
 The oven floor can become damaged by items being pushed
around on it. When placing pots, pans, or dishware on the oven floor,
do not push them around.
 Risk of injury caused by steam. Pouring a cold liquid onto a hot
surface creates steam, which can cause severe scalding. The
sudden temperature change can also cause damage to hot surfaces.
Never pour cold liquids directly onto hot enameled surfaces.
 It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high. You can ensure this by
stirring or turning the food.
 Canning food and heating it up in closed containers results in an
increase in pressure which can cause them to explode. Do not use
cans for canning or reheating food.
 Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Do not leave the door open unnecessarily.
 The door can support a maximum load of 33lbs (15kg). Do not
lean or sit on an open door, or place heavy items on it. Make sure
that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven
compartment. This could damage the oven.
 The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.
 Never heat empty cookware.
 If the cooktop is covered, there is a risk that the material of the
cover will ignite, explode or melt if the cooktop is still hot or if turned
on inadvertently. Never cover the cooktop with a board, cloth or
protective sheet.
14

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 When using an electric appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the
cooktop, make sure that the power cable does not come into
contact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become
damaged.
 The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time
after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a
possibility that it could still be hot.
 When the appliance is turned on inadvertently or by mistake, or
when there is residual heat present, there is a risk of the metal items
heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire when the appliance
is switched on. Do not store items on the cooktop.
 Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not
be placed on the cooktop surface since they can get hot.
 Wet sponges or clothes can cause burns due to hot steam if they
are used to wipe spilled food off a hot burner. Some cleansers can
emit hazardous vapors if they are applied to a hot surface. Be careful
when cleaning the cooktop.
 Spilled food can cause odors and the spraying of grease, which
can ignite on the cooktop. Never leave the cooktop unsupervised at
high power.
 If the handles of a pot or pan extend across an adjacent burner,
this can cause burns, the ignition of flammable materials and the
spilling of food due to inadvertent contact with the cookware. Turn
the pot or pan so that the handles point toward the inside and do not
extend across an adjacent burner.
 Ensure that the igniters are clean and dry to allow the burners to
ignite and burn properly.
 A range hood installed above the cooktop can become damaged
or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not use the gas burners
without cookware.
 Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly
assembled.
15

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 If the cookware is too small, it will not sit properly on the burner
grate. If the cookware is too large, heat emitted from the bottom of
the cookware may damage the countertop, walls with poor heat-
resistance (e.g. paneled walls) or portions of the cooktop.
 Make sure that the burner flames do not extend beyond the
bottom of the cookware and rise up its sides.
 Only use cookware with a thick enough bottom. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the cooktop.
 Always use the burner grates supplied with the cooktop. Never
place cookware directly on the burner.
 Install the burner grates in an upright position to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
 Remove all grease splatters and other flammable (food) residues
on the cooktop. They are a fire hazard.
 Using of a gas cooktop causes heat, moisture and products of
combustion to build up in the room in which it is installed. Make sure
that your kitchen is well ventilated, especially when the appliance is
in use: keep any natural means of ventilation open or install a
mechanical ventilation system (e.g. a ventilation hood).
 If the cooktop is used for very long periods of time, additional
ventilation of the room may be necessary, e.g. by opening windows
or doors, or running the ventilation on the highest setting.
 Do not use pots or pans that are large enough to cover several
burners. The resulting heat buildup can damage the appliance.
 If the cooktop has not been used for a long period of time, be sure
to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected by an authorized
technician before using it again.
 When you have finished cooking, make sure that the burners and
oven are turned off by checking the position of the knobs.
 Only certain types of glass, ceramic or other enamel cookware
can be used on a gas cooktop without breaking as a result of
sudden temperature changes.
16

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Do not use cooking utensils on the grill.
 Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff
valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home.
Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and
power supply to your cooktop.
 The grates, burner cap, bottom parts of the burner, and any other
parts located near the burner flame, can still be very hot after
cooking and cause burns. Do not touch these components when
using the cooktop.
 Wind can blow curtains over the cooktop, causing them to catch
fire. If the cooktop is installed near a window, do not use long
curtains.
 Not any cookware of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, clay or other
glass cookware is suitable for use on a burner. It can be damaged
due to sudden temperature change.
The following applies to stainless steel surfaces:
 Adhesives will damage the coated stainless steel surface and
cause it to lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky
notes, adhesive tape, or other types of adhesive on the stainless
steel surface.
 Magnets can cause scratches. Do not use the stainless steel
surface as a magnetic notice board.
17

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning and care
 Only clean parts listed in these operating and installation
instructions.
 There is a delicate fiberglass seal around front of the oven
compartment provide a seal for the glass on the inside of the oven
door. This can be damaged by rubbing or scouring. If possible,
refrain from cleaning this.
 Do not use oven cleaners. Do not use standard oven cleaners in
the oven compartment or on the front of the oven. Never line the
oven with oven liners.
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause
a short circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning.
 Scratches on the door glass can cause the glass to break. Do not
use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes, or sharp metal tools
to clean the door glass.
 The side runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care of the
oven – Removing the side runners”). Reinstall the side runners
correctly.
 Coarse soiling in the oven compartment can cause thick smoke to
develop. Remove coarse soiling from the oven compartment before
running the Self Clean program.
 In warm, moist environments, there is a higher probability of pest
infestations. Ensure the oven and the area surrounding it are always
kept clean.
Damage caused by pests is not covered by the warranty.
18

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Accessories
 Only use original Miele accessories. Using parts or accessories
from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
 Accessories that are not suitable for the Self Clean program will
be damaged by the high temperatures. Remove all accessories that
are not suitable for the Self Clean program from the oven
compartment before starting the Self Clean process. This also
