Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with statutory safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance,
please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
Miele cannot be held liable for non-compliance with these
instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application
 This oven is intended for use in domestic households and similar
working and residential environments.
 The oven is not intended for outdoor use.
 It is intended for domestic use only to cook food, and in particular
to bake, roast, grill, cook, reheat, defrost and dry food.
Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
 Danger of burning. Do not use the microwave combination oven
to store or dry items which could ignite easily.
If such items were dried in the microwave combination oven, the
moisture in the item would evaporate causing it to dry out and even
self-ignite.
 People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience or knowledge who are not able to use the
appliance safely on their own must be supervised whilst using it.
They may only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how to
use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children 8 years and older may only use the oven unsupervised if
they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and
understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the oven and do not let
them play with it.
 Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
 Danger of burning. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high
temperatures than that of adults. External parts of the oven such as
the door glass, control panel and the vents become quite hot during
use. Do not let children touch the oven whilst it is in use.
 Danger of injury. The door can support a maximum weight of
8 kg.
Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it. They
could injure themselves.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 Never use a damaged oven. It could be dangerous. Check it for
visible signs of damage before using it.
 Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:
– the door is warped,
– the door hinges are loose,
– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven
interior walls.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
 To avoid the risk of damage to the oven, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply before connecting the oven to the mains.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
 Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard).
 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
 The oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
