Warning and safety instructions
6
This Dialog oven complies with all current local and national safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal
injury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the Dialog oven. They contain important information on
safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both
personal injury and damage to the Dialog oven.
In accordance with IEC/EN60335-1 you are expressly advised to
read and follow all instructions in the following sections of this
manual: Warning and Safety, Installation and Electrical connection.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance
with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Appropriate use
 This Dialog oven is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 This Dialog oven is not intended for outdoor use.
 The Dialog oven is intended for domestic use only to cook, bake,
roast, grill, defrost, bottle and dry food.
All other types of use are not permitted.
 Fire hazard due to flammable materials. If flammable items were
dried in the Dialog oven, the moisture in the items would evaporate.
This could cause the materials to dry out and possibly self-ignite.
Never use the Dialog oven to store or dry items which could ignite
easily.
 This Dialog oven can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they are supervised whilst using it.
They may only use the Dialog oven unsupervised if they have been
shown how to use it in a safe manner. They must be able to
recognise and understand the dangers of misuse.

Warning and safety instructions
7
 The oven compartment is equipped with special lamps to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). These special lamps
must only be used for the purpose for which they are intended. They
are not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be
fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer
Service Department.
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the Dialog
oven unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the Dialog oven without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.
Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the Dialog oven
unsupervised.
 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the Dialog oven.
Never allow children to play with the Dialog oven.
 Risk of suffocation due to packaging material. Whilst playing,
children may become entangled in packaging material (such as
plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head, presenting the risk of
suffocation.
Keep packaging material away from children.
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. Children’s skin is far more
sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. External parts of
the Dialog oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent
become quite hot.
Do not let children touch the Dialog oven when it is in operation.

Warning and safety instructions
8
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. Children’s skin is far more
sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. The Dialog oven
gets much hotter during pyrolytic cleaning than during normal use.
Do not let children touch the Dialog oven during Pyrolytic cleaning.
 Risk of injury from the open door.
The oven door can support a maximum weight of 15kg. Children
could injure themselves on an open door.
Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.
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.
 Damage to the Dialog oven can compromise your safety. Check
the Dialog oven for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged
Dialog oven.
 Reliable and safe operation of this Dialog oven can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 Operating a damaged Dialog oven can result in electro-magnetic
leakage and present a hazard to the user as well as affecting the
functionality of electronic devices such as mobile phones. Do not
use the Dialog oven if:
– The door is warped.
– The door hinges are loose.
– The door seals are damaged.
– Holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven
compartment walls.
 The electrical safety of the Dialog oven can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a
qualified electrician.

Warning and safety instructions
9
 Ensure that the connection data on the Dialog oven's data plate
(voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. This data
must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the Dialog
oven. Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. If
in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance. Do not use these to connect the
Dialog oven to the mains electricity supply.
 For safety reasons, this Dialog oven may only be used after it has
been built in.
 This Dialog oven must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live
connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical
components of the Dialog oven will endanger your safety and may
lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the Dialog oven casing under any circumstances.
 While the Dialog oven 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 oven when original
Miele spare parts are used. Faulty components must only be
replaced by original spare parts.
 There are 2seals around the door. These seals must never be
removed.
 If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special connection cable by a Miele authorised service technician
(see “Installation”, “Electrical connection”).

Warning and safety instructions
10
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the Dialog oven
must be completely disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
To ensure this, do one of the following:
– Disconnect the mains fuse
– Completely unscrew the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is
applicable)
– Pull out the plug (if one is present) at the wall socket. To do this,
pull the plug and not the mains connection cable.
 The Dialog oven requires a sufficient supply of cool air for efficient
operation. Make sure that the supply of cool air is not hindered in
any way (e.g. by fitting heat insulation strips in the housing unit).
Furthermore, the required supply of cool air must not be excessively
heated by other heat sources (e.g. solid fuel stoves).
 If the Dialog oven is built in behind a furniture front (e.g. a door),
do not close the furniture front while the Dialog oven is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind the furniture front when closed.
This can result in damage to the Dialog oven, the housing unit and
the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the Dialog oven has
cooled down completely.
Correct use
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. The Dialog oven gets hot
when it is being used. You could burn yourself on the heater
elements, oven compartment, accessories or food.
Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or removing
it and when working in the hot oven compartment.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the Dialog
oven when it is switched on could start to burn. Do not use the
Dialog oven to heat up the room.
 Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the
Dialog oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Do not use the
Dialog oven for deep-fat frying. Never attempt to put out oil or fat
fires with water. Switch the Dialog oven off and extinguish the flames
by leaving the door closed.

Warning and safety instructions
11
 Grilling 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.
 Please be aware that durations when using an MChef function are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using a conventional function. Excessively long cooking
times can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it
to catch fire.
Never use an MChef function or a Grill function to dry flowers or
herbs. Instead, use the Fan plus or Conventional heat
function.
 If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to evaporate. The vapour can
catch fire on hot heating elements.
 When using residual heat to keep food warm, corrosion from high
air humidity and condensation can occur in the Dialog oven. This
can also cause damage to the control panel, worktop and
surrounding kitchen furniture. Keep the Dialog oven on and select
the lowest temperature available for the selected function. 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 Dialog oven. Always cover food that is left
in the oven to keep warm.
 An accumulation of heat can cause the enamel on the floor of the
oven to crack or flake off.
Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil or
oven liners.
If you wish to place crockery on the floor of the oven compartment
during cooking, or place crockery on the floor of the oven
compartment to heat it up, you can do so, but only with the Fan
plus function, without the Rapid heat-up function.

Warning and safety instructions
12
 The oven compartment floor can become damaged by items
being pushed around on it. When placing pots, pans or crockery on
the oven compartment floor, ensure that you avoid pushing 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
enamelled surfaces. Never pour cold liquids directly onto hot
enamelled surfaces.
 Danger of injury caused by steam. During cooking processes
using moisture and during the residual moisture evaporation process
steam is produced which can cause serious injury by scalding. Never
open the door while steam is being injected or during the
evaporation of residual water.
 It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing a
sufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be added
to the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking.
During the standing time, the temperature is distributed evenly in the
food.
 Risk of injury caused by hot food. When heating food up, the heat
is created directly in the food itself. For this reason the crockery will
remain cooler than the food (except when using oven-proof
stoneware). The crockery is only warmed by the heat of the food.
Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food
itself after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container
is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This
is particularly important when preparing food for babies,
children, and the elderly or infirm. After reheating food, especially
food for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the
container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger
of burning. Double check after it has been left to stand.

Warning and safety instructions
13
 The Dialog oven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items.
Items can get extremely hot. There is a risk of burning when items
are removed from the oven.
 Risk of injury from increased pressure in closed containers or
bottles. Pressure can build up during reheating in sealed containers
or bottles, causing them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand. In the case of baby bottles, the screw
top and teat must be removed.
 When heating food, and in particular liquids, the boiling point may
be reached without the production of the typical bubbles. The liquid
does not boil evenly throughout. This boiling delay can result in the
liquid boiling over explosively. Take care when taking the container
out of the oven, as the hot liquid can cause severe scalding. Under
certain circumstances, the pressure can be so high that the door
opens automatically.
Stir liquids well before reheating or cooking. After reheating, wait at
least 20seconds before removing the container from the oven. In
addition, a glass rod or similar item, if available, can be placed in the
container during reheating.
 If you cook eggs without their shells, the yolks could explode due
to the resulting pressure.
Prick the yolk several times before cooking to avoid this.
 Eggs heated in their shells can burst, even after they have been
taken out of the oven.
Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in a specially designed egg-
boiling device. Do not reheat hard boiled eggs using MChef
functions.
 Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,
potatoes and aubergines can burst when heated or cooked.
Pierce or score the skin of these types of food several times to allow
steam to escape.

Warning and safety instructions
14
 Do not use thermometers containing mercury or liquid as these
are not suitable for use with very high temperatures and break very
easily.
Only use the Miele food probe supplied with the appliance to
measure the temperature of the food.
 Cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, gel, etc., such as
those used in aromatherapy, can ignite when heated even after they
have been removed from the oven.
Do not heat these kinds of cushions and pads up in the Dialog oven.
 Crockery and lids with hollow handles or knobs can collect
moisture in the hollow spaces. When the moisture evaporates,
pressure can build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess
is sufficiently ventilated, the item can be used.
Do not use crockery with hollow knobs or handles for cooking with
the M Chef functions.
 Plastic containers which are not heat-resistant melt at high
temperatures and could ignite and damage the Dialog oven.
Only use plastic containers that are heat-resistant. Follow the
instructions from the crockery manufacturer.
 Unsuitable crockery can suffer damage and cause damage to the
Dialog oven.
Do not use any closed metal containers, aluminium foil, cutlery,
metal-plated crockery, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive
plastics, metal clips or plastic or paper covered wire ties. (see
“Suitable cookware for MChef functions”).
Do not leave the Dialog oven unattended when heating or cooking
food in containers made of wood or other inflammable materials.
 Fire hazard due to containers made of flammable materials.
Plastic disposable containers must meet the requirements specified
in “Suitable cookware for MChef functions”.
Do not leave the Dialog oven unattended when heating or cooking
food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other
inflammable materials.

Warning and safety instructions
15
 Heat-retaining packaging usually contains a thin layer of
aluminium foil that reflects electro-magnetic waves. As a result, the
paper surrounding the aluminium foil can become so hot that it
combusts.
Do not use heat-retaining packaging, such as bags for grilled
chicken, for warming food with MChef functions.
 Reheating food in closed containers results in an increase in
pressure, which can cause them to explode.
Do not use tins for reheating food.
 Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
 The door can support a maximum load of 15kg. Do not lean or sit
on the door when open, or place heavy items on it. Make sure that
nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment.
Doing so could damage the Dialog oven.
The following applies to stainless steel surfaces:
 Adhesives will damage the 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.

Warning and safety instructions
16
Cleaning and care
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause
a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
 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.
 Coarse soiling in the oven compartment can cause thick smoke to
develop. Coarse soiling should be removed from the oven
compartment before running the pyrolytic cleaning programme.
 In warm, moist environments, there is a higher probability of pest
infestations (such as cockroaches). Ensure the oven and the area
surrounding it are always kept clean.
Damage caused by pests is not covered by the warranty.

Warning and safety instructions
17
Accessories
 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
 The Miele Gourmet oven dish HUB62-22 (if available) must not be
inserted into shelf level1. This will damage the floor of the oven. Do
not place a Miele oven dish on the upper support of shelf level1
either as it will not be secured by the non-tip safety notches. As a
general rule, use shelf level2.
 With MChef functions, metal lids reflect electro-magnetic waves
and hence prevent cooking. Oven dishes and pots must be used
without a lid or with a glass lid with MChef functions.
 Only use the Miele food probe supplied with the appliance. If it is
faulty, it must be replaced with a new 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.
(Exceptions: M Chef + Fan grill and Fan grill). Do not store
the food probe in the oven compartment when it is not being used.
 Accessories that are not suitable for pyrolytic cleaning will be
damaged by the high temperatures. Remove all accessories that are
not suitable for pyrolytic cleaning from the oven compartment before
starting the pyrolytic cleaning programme. This also applies to
optional accessories that are not suitable for pyrolytic cleaning (see
“Cleaning and care”).

Caring for the environment
18
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 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.
