7

arning 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.
8

arning and Safety instructions
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.

arning and Safety instructions
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.
10

Child Safety Feature

Before using for the first time
Timer
After the appliance has been turned on,
Either;
–"12:00" and the "f" (Start) and
")" (End) symbols will flash in the
display.
or
–the timer will remain dark.
To save energy the time display has
been turned off (factory setting)
If the "f" and ")" buttons are
pressed simultaneously, "12.00"
should appear in the display.
Setting the time of day
Press the "f" (Start) and ")" (End)
buttons simultaneously.
"12:00" and the control lamp in the cen-
ter of the “– /+”button will now stay on
without flashing.
Use the “– /+”button to enter the
time in hours and minutes.
When the control lamp for the “– /+”but-
ton goes out, the time has been set.
The colon will flash and the display will
change in one minute intervals.
To turn off the time display while still
allowing the clock to run unseen,
see page 24.
Oven
Use a cloth to wipe out the oven inte-
rior with warm water and a non-ab-
rasive detergent solution. Dry it with
a soft cloth.
Do not close the oven door until the
oven interior is dry.
Rinse the accessories.
New ovens may have a slight odor dur-
ing their first use. Running the oven for
at least an hour at 450°F / 230°C or
higher will make it dissipate more
quickly.
Turn the Oven Mode Selector to
"Convection".
Select the highest temperature using
the "–/+" button.
The timer can be used to set the finish
time to one hour.
Make sure the room is well venti-
lated during this process.
12

Oven Operation
Description of the cooking
modes
Convection
This mode cooks by circulating the
heated air over and around the food.
The convection fan/heater combination
located on the rear wall of the oven
blows heated air through openings in
the rear panel of the oven. Because of
this, the oven usually does not need
preheating as the heated air will reach
the food immediately.
Exception: Pre-heat the oven when
roasting meat.
Use of the convection mode allows you
to bake and roast on different levels at
the same time.
Due to the uniform cooking that occurs
when using the “Convection”setting, a
lower temperature can be selected
when using this mode.
Auto Roast
This setting offers convection cooking
with an Auto Roast feature. The oven
will initially heat up to a high tempera-
ture in order to sear the meat and lock
in the juices, thereby allowing it to re-
main moist and tasty. Once this high
temperature has been reached, the
oven automatically returns to your se-
lected temperature and continues cook-
ing as in the “Convection”mode.
Consequently the oven should not be
pre-heated when using the auto roast
function.
Top Heat
Heat from the top element can be used
to brown dishes or to finish dishes with
a cheese topping.
Top & Bottom Heat
With this method of cooking, radiant
heat is directed onto food from above
and below.
Pre-heating the oven is only necessary
when:
–baking biscuits or cakes with a short
baking time.
–baking certain types of doughs.
–roasting meat.
Bottom Heat
Select “Bottom Heat”at the end of a
baking cycle for cakes which require
extra browning on the bottom.
13

Oven Operation
Description of the cooking
modes
Defrosting
Defrosting can be done without heat or
at a temperature of up to 120°F (50°C).
When Defrosting without heat, the circu-
lated air will be at room temperature.
Intensive baking
This method combines "Convection"
with "Bottom Heat" and is recom-
mended for dishes that have a moist
topping and crisp base such as pizza
or quiche lorraine.
Fan Broiling
Hot air from the broiling element is
blown over the food by the convection
fan on the rear wall of the oven. This
allows broiling at lower temperatures
than in the “Broiling 1”or “Broiling 2”
mode.
Broiling 1
The inner part of the upper heating ele-
ment is used in this mode. It will glow
red a few minutes after being turned
on, and is then ready for use. Use this
mode for small quantities or thin pieces
of food.
Broiling 2
The entire upper heating element is
used for broiling.
In this mode, the inner part of the heat-
ing element will glow red a few minutes
after being turned on. The outer part of
the element will remain noticeably dar-
ker, but will still produce the heat
necessary for broiling.
This mode is especially useful for broil-
ing thicker cuts or large quantities of
food distributed over the entire rack.
14

tered.
The indicator lamp in the “– /+” but-
ton lights up:
–when a cooking mode has been se-
lected (except for "Light"),
–if the "p" button is pressed during
the cooking process,
–if the "e" button is pressed when
cooking with the roast probe,
–if the "l" button is pressed.
Each time the “– /+”button or one of
the other buttons is pressed, this gives
more time for data input.
