Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance complies with all
legal safety requirements. Improper
use can cause both personal injury
and material damage.
Before installation and before using
the oven for the first time, read the
operating instructions carefully.
They contain important information
on safety, and on the operation and
care of the appliance.
Do not let children in, on or around
the appliance or its controls.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them to any future
users.
roper Use
This appliance is intended for
residential use only. Use for any
other purpose is at the owner’s risk and
could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by improper use of this ap-
pliance.
Installation and Servicing
Before connecting the appliance to
the power supply, make sure that
the available voltage and frequency
correspond to the ratings on the data
plate. Consult a licensed electrician if
in doubt.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and a grounding system
which complies with local and national
ordinances. It is extremely important
that this safety requirement be verified
by a qualified electrician. The manufac-
turer cannot be held responsible for
problems arising due to an inadequate
or missing ground.
This appliance must only be oper-
ated after it has been installed in
appropriate cabinetry, as outlined in
the Installation instructions.
Installation and repairs should only
be performed by qualified and
trained personnel. Repairs or other
work performed by unqualified person-
nel could be dangerous.
The appliance is completely iso-
lated from the electrical supply
only when:
–the main circuit breaker is tripped, or
–the fuse is removed (in countries
where this is applicable)
Warning and Safety instructions

Oven operation
High temperatures can be produced
by the oven.
Care should be taken to ensure that
small children do not touch the ap-
pliance when it is in use. External parts
of the oven such as the door glass,
vents, and control panel can become
hot.
Use of heat-resistant oven gloves
is recommended:
–when placing food in, turning, or re-
moving items from the oven. The top
heating element and oven racks can
become very hot and the risk of
burns exists.
Always open the door carefully.
–Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
Wait until the upper element is cool
before lowering it for cleaning, in
order to avoid the risk of burns.
Do not use force to pull down the
top heating element as this can
break it.
Always place the oven racks in
their desired location while the
oven is cool. If a rack must be moved
while the oven is hot, do not let the pot
holder contact the hot heating elements.
Caution: Heating elements may
be hot even though they are not
glowing. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not let cloth-
ing or other flammable materials con-
tact the heating elements or interior sur-
faces of the oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Do not let aluminum foil or the
meat probe contact hot heating ele-
ments.
Do not push pots and pans on the
oven floor as this could scratch the
surface.
Do not lean, sit, or place heavy
items on the open oven door. The
door can support a maximum weight of
22 lbs (10 kg).
Cover any food left in the oven.
This will prevent the food from
drying out and steam from condensing
inside the oven. If condensation is ex-
cessive, damage to the oven may
occur.
Use only the Miele roast probe sup-
plied with the oven. If a replace-
ment is necessary, it can be obtained
from the Miele Parts Dept. or a Miele
dealer.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

When not in use, do not leave the
roast probe in the oven. High broil-
ing temperatures could damage it.
Do not heat unopened containers
of food in the oven, as pressure
may build up and cause them to ex-
plode.
To keep food warm after cooking,
take advantage of the residual
heat or select the lowest temperature
available.
Put any frozen products, such as
pizza, on aluminum foil or on the
rack. Do not place them on the baking
tray or broiling pan, as this could cause
the metal to distort to such an extent
that it may be difficult to remove the
tray/pan from the oven.
Never use aluminum foil to line
the oven floor or place pots and
pans or baking sheets directly on
the oven floor when using "Top &
Bottom Heat", "Bottom Heat" or
the "Intensive Bake" modes, as
this could cause the enamel on
the oven floor to crack.
Flammable materials should never
be stored in an oven or near sur-
face cooking units.
General notes
Never use a steam cleaner to
clean the oven. Pressurized steam
could cause a short circuit, or cause
permanent damage to the oven sur-
face and/or components. The manufac-
turer cannot accept responsibility for
damage caused by steam cleaning.
Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where an
oven is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the oven.
Caution: Do not store items of interest
to children in cabinets above an oven.
Children climbing on the oven to reach
these items could be seriously injured.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils or fats as
these can be a fire hazard if allowed to
overheat.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother the fire or flame or use a
dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher.
Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting
or hanging garments should never
be worn while using the oven.
Do not use the oven to heat the
room. Due to the high tempera-
tures radiated, objects left near the
oven could ignite.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

When using kitchen appliances
connected to outlets near the
oven, make certain that their cables do
not contact with any cooking zones or
get trapped in the oven door.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not
let potholders touch hot heating ele-
ments.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked. Many factors will af-
fect the overall cooking time, including
the size or amount of food, the selected
temperature, changes to the recipe
and the shape and size of the cooking
container. Some foods may contain
microorganisms which are only de-
stroyed by thorough cooking. If in
doubt, select a longer cooking time.
It is important that the heat is
allowed to spread evenly throug-
hout the food being cooked. This can
be achieved by stirring or turning the
food, or by observing a sufficiently long
set time at the end of the cooking cycle.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine,
cut off the cable and remove the
door in order prevent accidental injury
to any children or animals who may at-
tempt to play inside of it.
The manufacturer is not liable for
damage caused by non-com-
pliance with safety instructions.
