damages caused by improper use
of this oven.
This appliance complies with current
safety requirements. Improper use of
the appliance can lead to personal
injury and material damage.
Read all instructions before installing
or using the oven for the first time.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future user.
Installation
Before installation, make sure that
the voltage and frequency listed on
the data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this
appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.
The manufacturer can not be held
responsible for damages caused by the
lack, or inadequacy of, an effective
grounding system or the failure to
adhere to national and local electrical
codes.
The oven is not to be operated until
it has been properly installed within

Oven use
,WARNING: Ovens can produce
high temperatures that can cause
burns.
Prevent children from touching the
appliance when in use.
Use heat-resistant oven mitts when
placing items in the oven, turning
them, or removing them from the oven.
The upper heating element and oven
racks can become very hot and cause
burns.
To prevent burns, always place
oven racks at their desired height
while the oven is cool.
Always open the door carefully.
Allow hot air or steam to escape
before placing or removing food.
To prevent burns, allow the heating
element to cool before cleaning by
hand.
Only clean parts listed in this
manual.
Caution: Heating elements may be
hot even though they are not glow-
ing. During and after use, do not let
clothing or other flammable materials
come in contact with heating elements
or interior surfaces of the oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
External parts of the oven such as the
door glass, vents, and control panel
can become hot.
The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
The door gasket should only be
cleaned with a solution of warm water
and soap.
Do not block oven vents.
Do not let metal objects (aluminum
foil, metal pans) or the meat probe
come in contact with the heating
element.
Do not slide pots or pans on the
oven floor. This could scratch and
damage the surface.
Do not lean, sit, or place heavy
items on the open oven door. The
door can support a maximum weight of
33 lbs (15 kg).
Do not heat unopened containers
of food in the oven, as pressure
may build up and cause them to
explode.
Never add water to food on a hot
tray or pan or directly on to food in
a hot oven. The steam created could
cause serious burns or scalds.
This oven must only be used for
cooking. Do not use it as a dryer,
kiln, dehumidifier, etc. Due to the heat
generated in the catalytic converter of
the oven, any fumes or vapors given off
by glues, plastics or other non-food
items could ignite and cause property
damage or injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Flammable liquids and materials
should never be stored in, above
or under an oven, or near cooking
surfaces.
Cover all cooked food that is left in
the oven to be kept warm. This will
prevent moisture from condensing on
the interior of the oven. Long-term or
excessive condensation could damage
the oven.
Only use the Miele roast probe
supplied with the oven. Contact
Miele’s Technical Service Department if
you need to purchase a new probe.
Remove the roast probe from the
oven when not using the probe.
High broiling temperatures could
damage the probe.
Do not heat unopened containers
of food in the oven, as pressure
may build up and cause them to
explode.
Never add water to food on a hot
tray or pan or directly onto food in
a hot oven. The steam created could
cause serious burns or scalds and the
sudden change in temperature can
damage the enamel.
Never use aluminum foil to line the
oven floor or place pots, pans or
baking sheets directly on the oven floor
when using "Surround", "Bottom Heat"
or "Intensive". This could crack the
enamel on the oven floor.
This oven must only be used for
cooking. Do not use it as a dryer,
kiln, dehumidifier, etc. Fumes or vapors
given off by glues, plastics or flam-
mable liquids and materials could be
hazardous.
Never store flammable liquids and
materials in, above or under an
oven, or near cooking surfaces.

General notes
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the oven. Steam could pene-
trate electrical components and cause
a short circuit.
Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where an
oven is in use. Never allow children 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 injured.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils or fats, they
can be a fire hazard if overheated.
Do not use water on grease fires!
Smother the fire with a properly
rated dry chemical or foam fire
extinguisher.
Wear proper clothing. Loose-fitting
or hanging garments should never
be worn while using the oven.
Do not use the oven to heat the
room.
Make certain that the power cords
of small appliances do not come in
contact with or get caught in the oven
door.
Use only dry, heat resistant pot-
holders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in
steam burns. Do not let potholders
come in contact with oils. Do not
substitute towels or other bulky items
for potholders.
Always make sure food cooked
thoroughly before eating.
Disposal of an old oven
When discarding an old oven, dis-
connect it from the power suppply
and cut off the power cord. Remove the
door to prevent trapping hazard.

Accessories
Wire rack
The racks have non-tip safety notches
which prevent them from being pulled
out completely while the oven is in use.
When inserting a rack, always check
that the safety notches are at the
rear of the oven.
The rack can only be removed by
raising it upwards and then pulling out.
Roasting pan and Anti-splash tray
The roasting pan is ideal for catching
drippings from meat or poultry roasted
or broiled directly on the rack.
It can also be used as a baking tray.
The anti-splash tray may be placed in
the roasting pan to reduce splattering
of drippings from meat or poultry.
The roasting pan and anti-splash tray
are coated with PerfectClean enamel
and can be easily cleaned with a
sponge and dish soap.

Rotisserie
The rotisserie evenly broils and adds a
finishing touch to items such as stuffed
meat, poultry, and kebabs by gently
turning the skewers during the broiling
function.
The skewer is inserted into the
rotisserie motor in the back panel.
Roast probe
The roast probe reliably monitors the
core temperature of meat and poultry
during a roasting function.
The long pointed end of the probe is
inserted into the thickest portion of the
meat while the short end of the probe is
inserted into the roast probe socket.
Grease filter
The filter helps to keep the oven fan
clean from moisture and grease.
When roasting or broiling, insert the
grease filter in front of the fan opening.
