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 cannot 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 should not be operated
until it has been properly installed
within cabinetry.
Installation, maintenance and
repair work should be performed

breaker, or shutting off the main power.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Oven use
,WARNING: Ovens can produce
high temperatures that can cause
burns.
Prevent children from touching the
appliance when in use.
Use heat-resistant pot holders
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
glowing. 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 may also 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 roast 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).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not heat unopened containers
of food in the oven, 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.
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 other
non-food items could ignite and cause
property damage or injury.
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 if you need to purchase a new
probe.
Remove the roast probe from the
oven when not using it. High
broiling temperatures may damage the
probe.
Never use aluminum foil to line the
oven floor. Do not 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.
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
penetrate 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 may 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.
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments while operating 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
potholders. 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.
Disposal of an old oven
When discarding an old oven,
disconnect it from the power
supply and cut off the power cord.
Remove the door to prevent a trapping
hazard.

Accessories
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.
Wire rack
Baking Trays
The oven comes equipped with two
baking trays. These trays are to be slid
into the runners on either side of the
oven rather than on the wire rack itself.
Non-tip safety notches
The wire rack, roasting pan and baking
trays are equipped with non-tip safety
notches (see arrow) which prevent
them from being pulled out completely
while the oven is in use.
When inserting a rack, pan or tray
always check that the safety notches
are at the rear of the oven.
Once inserted into the oven these
pieces can only be removed by raising
the piece upwards and then pulling it
out.
Guide to the oven

Rotisserie
The rotisserie evenly broils and adds a
finishing touch to items such as stuffed
meat, poultry, and kabobs by gently
turning the skewers during the broiling
function.
The skewer is inserted into the
rotisserie motor in the back panel of the
oven.
Roast probe
The roast probe monitors the core
temperature of meat and poultry during
the 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.
