Warning and safety instructions
5

Safety with children
~This appliance is not a toy! To
prevent the risk of injury do not let
children play with the appliance or its
controls.
~Older children may only use the
oven when its operation has been
clearly explained to them and they are
able to use it safely, recognising the
dangers of misuse.
~Great care should be taken to
ensure that children do not touch the
appliance when it is being used.
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.
Technical safety
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
~Before installation, check the
appliance for visible signs of damage.
Do not install and use a damaged
appliance. It could be dangerous.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system. It is
most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested
regularly, and where there is any doubt
the household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Warning and safety instructions

~Before connecting the oven to the
mains supply, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate
(voltage and connected load) match
the mains electricity supply. This data
must correspond in order to avoid the
risk of damage to the appliance.
Consult a competent person if in doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a multi-
socket unit or an extension lead. These
do not guarantee the required safety of
the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
built in.
~Never open the housing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
~While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee will be
invalidated.
~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
–the mains fuse is disconnected,
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
–it is switched off at the isolator.
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until after maintenance
or repair work has been carried out.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~If the supply cord is damaged it
must be replaced by a Miele approved
service technician to avoid a hazard.
~This appliance may only be used in
mobile installations if a risk assessment
of the installation has been carried out
by a suitably qualified engineer.
~In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which may be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the guarantee.
Warning and safety instructions
7

Correct use
,Caution! Danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the oven.
~Use oven gloves when placing food
in the oven, turning or removing it and
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a
hot oven. Be very careful that you do
not burn yourself on the top heating/grill
element.
~Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or
fats, as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
~Do not exceed the recommended
grilling times when using the "Grill Y"/
"Fan grill \" functions.
Grilling for too long can cause food to
dry out and even in some
circumstances to self-ignite.
~Do not use "Grill Y" / "Fan grill \"
to finish baking part-cooked rolls or
bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Fire
hazard!
Use "Fan plus U" or "Conventional V"
instead.
~If using alcohol in your recipes, high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to
vaporise and even to ignite on the hot
heating elements.
Alcohol should be burnt off before the
dish is placed in the oven to avoid this
danger.
~Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. Any moisture in the
food could lead to corrosion damage in
the oven. This also prevents the food
from drying out.
~If you wish to complete a cooking
process using the residual heat in the
oven, leave the oven at the function
selected and select the lowest
temperature for that function. Do not
switch the appliance off until the food
has been removed. Increased moisture
in the oven could cause condensation
to form which could lead to
– corrosion in the oven compartment.
– damage to the control panel, worktop
and surrounding kitchen furniture.
~Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using
"Conventional V", "Intensive bake O",
"Gentle bake K" or "Rapid heat-up S".
This would cause a build-up of heat
which could damage the floor of the
oven.
For this reason do not place a dish, tin
or baking tray directly on the oven floor.
If using a tray made by a different
manufacturer, make sure that there is a
gap of at least 6 cm between the
bottom of the tray and the floor of the
appliance.
Warning and safety instructions
8

~Never add water to food on a hot
baking tray or directly onto food in a hot
oven. The steam created could cause
serious burns or scalding and the
sudden change in temperature can
damage the enamel.
~Always ensure that food is suitably
cooked or reheated.
Some foods may contain micro-
organisms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking at temperatures over
70°C for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Therefore when cooking or reheating
foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly
important that food is fully cooked
through. If in doubt select a longer
cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the heat is allowed to
spread evenly throughout the food
being cooked. This can be achieved
by stirring and/or turning the food
during cooking.
~If using plastic containers for
cooking, they must be declared by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use
in an oven.
Other types of plastic containers melt at
high temperatures, and could damage
the oven.
~Do not heat up unopened tins or jars
of food in the oven. Pressure can build
up and they may explode, resulting in
injury or damage.
~Do not push pots and pans around
on the oven floor, as this could damage
the surface.
~Do not lean or sit on an open oven
door or place heavy items on it. Make
sure that nothing gets trapped between
the door and the oven compartment.
This could damage the oven.
The oven door can support a maximum
load of 15 kg.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele spare parts
and accessories with this appliance. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.

Features
Oven controls
The oven controls are used for
selecting the various cooking
programmes for baking, roasting and
grilling.
Appliances with a clock/timer also
feature the following:
–a time of day display,
–a minute minder,
–an automatic switch-off procedure for
cooking processes.
Cooling system
A cooling fan will come on
automatically when a cooking
programme is started. The cooling fan
mixes hot air from the oven cavity with
cool room air before venting it out into
the kitchen through vents located
between the appliance door and the
control panel.
The cooling fan will continue to run for a
while after the oven has been switched
off to prevent any humidity building up
in the oven, on the control panel or on
the oven housing unit.
When the temperature in the oven has
fallen sufficiently, the cooling fan will
switch off automatically.
PerfectClean treated surfaces
The following surfaces are all treated
with PerfectClean enamelling:
–Oven interior
–Universal tray
–Anti-splash insert (if present).
PerfectClean surfaces have very good
anti-stick properties and are much
easier to keep clean than conventional
enamel, if cleaned regularly.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.
Catalytic enamelled surfaces
The back panel, roof liner (if fitted) and
side panels (if fitted) are coated with
dark grey catalytic enamel. Soiling from
oil and fat is burnt off these surfaces
when very high temperatures are used
in the oven.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.
Retractable controls
The controls are retractable at the 0
position.
To release or retract a control simply
press and release it.
The control must be at the 0 or the
12 o'clock position in order to
release or retract it. If it is not you
will damage it!
Energy efficiency rating
according to EN 50304
This appliance is rated efficiency class
Ain accordance with EN 50304. Tests
were carried out using "Fan plus U"
without catalytic side panels or roof
liner fitted.

Accessories
(depending on model)
The following accessories are supplied
with this oven.
These and other accessories are also
available to order from the Miele Spare
Parts Department, your Dealer or via
the internet at www.miele-shop.com.
See "Optional accessories"" further on
in this booklet for more details.
Universal tray and rack
The universal tray and rack have non-tip
safety notches which prevent them
being pulled right out when they only
need to be partially pulled out.
When pushing the tray and rack
back in, always ensure that the
safety notches are at the rear of the
oven (see illustration).
The universal tray and rack can then
only be taken out of the oven by raising
them upwards and then pulling them
out.
Anti-splash insert
The anti-splash tray should be placed
in the universal tray when grilling or
roasting.
The juices from the food being cooked
collect under the anti-splash tray. This
prevents them from spitting and making
the oven dirty. The juices can then be
used for making gravy and sauces.
Handle (depending on model)
The handle makes it easier to take the
tray and rack out of the oven, or to put
them into it. The two prongs at the top
go inside the tray or over the top of the
rack and the U-shaped supports
underneath.

Your oven has a range of oven functions for preparing a wide variety of recipes.
Oven function Notes
UFan plus –For baking and roasting.
–You can bake and roast on different levels at the
same time.
–Lower temperatures can be used than with
"Conventional V" as the Fan plus system distributes
the heated air around the food.
OIntensive bake –For cooking dishes which require a moist topping and
a crisp base such as pizza and quiche lorraine.
–Intensive bake is not suitable for baking biscuits or for
roasting as the juices will become too dark.
VConventional –For baking traditional recipes, e.g. fruit cake,
casseroles.
– Also ideal for soufflés.
– If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven
temperature for Conventional, 10°C lower than that
recommended.
The cooking duration does not need to be changed.
KGentle bake – Suitable for bakes and gratins where a cripsy finish is
required.
YGrill – For grilling thin cuts and for browning food.
\Fan grill –For grilling larger items, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.
–The hot air from the grill is distributed over the food by
the fan. This enables a lower temperature to be
selected than when using "Grill Y".
PDefrost –For the gentle defrosting of frozen food.
SRapid heat-up –For pre-heating the oven compartment.
The oven function required must then be selected.

to be released before the oven can
be used.
On ovens with a clock/tmer you also
have to set the time of day before
the oven can be used.
Before use, please remove
– any stickers from the floor of the
oven, accessories.
– any cork spacers at the sides
above the oven cavity.
– any protective foil from the
oven front.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.
Before using the oven for the first time
– take all accessories out of the oven
and wash them.
– then heat the oven up once with
nothing in it. New ovens can give off
a slight smell on first use. Doing this
will dissipate the smells before you
use it to cook food.

off to dispel any moisture from the oven
and prevent it settling on the control
panel or surrounding furniture.
When the temperature in the oven has
fallen sufficiently the cooling fan will
switch off automatically.
Pre-heating
Most dishes can be placed in a cold
oven. They will then make use of the
heat produced during the heating-up
phase.
It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven
in a few instances:
U–Pre-heating may be
necessary for foods which
cook in less than 20 minutes
and for foods such as puff
pastries and yeast mixtures
where instant heat is required
to make them rise quickly.
– for roasting beef/fillet.
V– It is usually necessary to pre-
heat the oven with
Conventional.
Do not use "Rapid heat-up S"to
pre-heat the oven when baking
pizzas or biscuits and small cakes.
They will brown too quickly.
To pre-heat the oven:
^Select "Rapid heat-up S".
^Set a temperature.
The oven will start to heat up.
^When the temperature indicator light
ygoes out for the first time, set the
oven function you require for
continued cooking or baking, and
place the food in the oven.
