Warning and Safety instructions
5
This oven complies with all current local and national safety
requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the oven. They contain important information on safety,
installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal
injury and damage to the oven.
In accordance with standard IEC/EN60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the oven as well as the safety instructions and
warnings.
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.

Warning and Safety instructions

Appropriate use
 This oven is intended for domestic use and use in other similar
environments.
 The oven is not intended for outdoor use.
 The oven is intended for domestic use only to bake, roast, grill,
cook, defrost and dry food.
All other types of use are not permitted.
 This oven may 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 it 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.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the oven
unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the 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 oven
unsupervised.
 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the oven. Never
allow children to play with the 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 oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent become
quite hot.
Do not let children touch the oven when it is in operation.
 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 oven can compromise your safety. Check the oven
for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged oven.
 Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The electrical safety of this oven can only be guaranteed when
correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is fulfilled. If in doubt, the electrical installation should
be checked by a qualified electrician.
 The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the oven must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid
the risk of damage to the 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
oven to the mains electricity supply.
 For safety reasons, the oven may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
 The oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (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 oven will endanger your safety and may lead to
the oven malfunctioning.
Do not open the oven housing under any circumstances.
 While the oven is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty will be invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.
 If the oven is delivered without a power connection cable, a
special cable must be installed by a Miele authorised service
technician (see “Installation”, “Electrical connection”).
 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”).
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven
interior lighting is faulty (see “Problem solving guide”), the oven must
be completely disconnected from the household 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 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 oven is built in behind a furniture front (e.g. a door), do not
close the furniture door while the oven is in use. Heat and moisture
can build up behind the closed furniture door. This can result in
damage to the oven, housing unit and floor. Leave the furniture front/
door open until the oven has cooled down completely.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
 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.
Wear oven gloves when placing hot food in the oven or removing it
and when adjusting oven shelves, for example, in a hot oven
compartment.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven
could catch fire. Do not use the oven to heat up the room.
 Oils and fats can ignite 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. Switch the oven off and extinguish the
flames by leaving the door closed.
 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.
 Certain foods dry out quickly and may catch fire due to high grill
temperatures.
Never use grill modes to finish baking partially baked rolls or bread or
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 oven. This can also cause
damage to the control panel, worktop and surrounding kitchen
furniture. Keep the oven on and select the lowest temperature available
for the selected function. The cooling fan will then continue to run
automatically.
