This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use can, however, lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, please
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important notes on
installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the contents. Pass them
on to any future owner.
Correct application
~This appliance is designed for
domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or
motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and
other typical living quarters. This does
not include common/shared facilities or
commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts.
~The appliance is not suitable for
outdoor use.
~The appliance is intended only to
cook, bake, roast, grill, defrost, bottle,
dry fruit etc.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage
resulting from incorrect or improper use
or operation.
~This oven is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are supervised
whilst using it or have been given
instruction concerning its use by a
person responsible for their safety.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

Safety with children
~Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance. Keep children away from the
appliance at all times to avoid the risk
of injury.
~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. This is
particularly important when the pyrolytic
cleaning programme is running as the
oven heats to a much higher
temperature than normal.
External parts of the oven such as the
door glass, control panel and the vent
become quite hot. Children's skin is far
more sensitive to high temperatures
than that of adults. Danger of burning!
The cooking zones of the oven become
very hot.
Children could also burn themselves by
pulling out cooking containers.
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. A damaged appliance 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
6

~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on
the data plate correspond with the
on-site electricity supply, otherwise the
appliance could be damaged. Consult
a competent, qualified electrician 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
warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the warranty may 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:
–it is switched off at the mains fuse,
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable),
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or 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 must not be installed
and operated in mobile installations
(e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions
7

Correct use
,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.
Fire hazard!
~Do not exceed the recommended
grilling times when using the Grill Y/
Fan Grill \functions.
Excessively long cooking times can
lead to food drying out and burning, or
could even cause it to catch fire.
~Do not use Grill Y/ Fan Grill \to
finish baking par-cooked rolls or bread
or to dry flowers or herbs. Fire hazard!
Use Fan Plus Uor 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 function selector at the
position set and turn the temperature
selector to the lowest setting. 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 cover the floor of the oven
with aluminium foil when using the oven
on Conventional V/ Intensive
Bake O/ Gentle Bake K/ Rapid
Heat-up S.
This would cause concentrations of
heat which could cause damage to 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
oven.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

~Never add cold 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.
~Only plastic containers which are
declared by the manufacturer as being
suitable for use in an oven may be
used.
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 oven. If spare
parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this may
invalidate the warranty, and Miele
cannot accept liability arising from
damages caused by or linked to these
items.
~Remove all accessories as well as
the runners and any extra accessories
such as Flexi-Clip runners from the
oven interior before starting the
pyrolytic cleaning process. The high
temperatures needed for pyrolysis will
damage the accessories.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these materials
away, please ensure they are offered for
recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Chartered Agent
for advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person.

Oven controls
The controls offer various cooking
programmes to bake, roast and grill.
Appliances with a clock timer also offer
–a time of day display,
–a minute minder,
–a timer to automatically switch
cooking programmes off,
–settings that can be customised.
Safety features
Cooling fan
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.
Vented oven door
The oven door is an open system and
the door panes have a heat-reflecting
coating.
During operation, cool air is passed
through the oven door to keep the outer
pane cool.
If necessary, the oven door can be
dismantled for cleaning.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.
Door lock for pyrolytic operation
At the beginning of a pyrolytic cleaning
programme the door will lock for safety
reasons. The door lock will only be
released after the temperature in the
oven has dropped again below 280 °C.
Pyrolytic cleaning
The oven interior can be kept clean by
using the Pyrolytic function ^.
During the pyrolytic process the oven is
heated to approximately 400 °C. Any
residual soiling is broken down and
reduced to ash by the high
temperatures.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.
PerfectClean treated surfaces
The following surfaces have been
treated with PerfectClean enamel:
–Universal tray
PerfectClean enamelled 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.

internet at www.miele-shop.com
(depending on country).
See "Optional accessories" for more
information.
Universal tray and rack with anti-tip
safety notches
The baking tray, universal tray and rack
are inserted into the oven between the
two rails of a shelf runner.
The universal tray and rack have safety
notches that prevent them being pulled
right out when they only need to be
partially pulled out.
When pushing the universal tray and
rack back in, always ensure that the
safety notches are at the rear of the
oven.
They can then only be taken out of the
oven by raising them upwards and then
pulling them out.
Grease filter
The grease filter must be fitted in front
of the air inlet for the fan when using:
–Fan Plus Ufor roasting on the rack
or cooking in uncovered containers.
– Fan Grill \.
Oil and fat circulated by the moving air
is collected in the grease filter while the
oven interior and the area behind the
rear panel remain clean.
Do not fit the grease filter when
baking as this will prolong the
baking time.
