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 content. Pass them
on to any future owner.

Any other use is not supported by the
manufacturer and could be dangerous.
Miele cannot be held liable for damage
resulting from incorrect or improper use
or operation of the appliance.
~This appliance 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 shown how to use it correctly by a
person responsible for their safety.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

Safety with children
~This appliance is not a toy! To
prevent the risk of injury or damage, 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. 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
7

~Before connecting the appliance,
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 such as ships if a
risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
~In countries where there are 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
8

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 "Full
grill Y", "Economy grill Z" and "Fan
grill \" functions. Excessively long
grilling times can lead to food drying
out and burning, or could even cause it
to catch fire.
~Do not use the "Full grill Y",
"Economy grill Z" or "Fan grill \"to
finish baking part-cooked rolls or bread
or to dry flowers or herbs. Fire hazard.
Use "Fan plus U" or "Conventional
heat 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.
~Do not line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using "Conventional
heat V"/"Bottom heat X"/ "Intensive
bake O"/"Rapid heat-up S".
This would cause a build-up 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

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.
~Never add cold water to food on a
hot universal tray or 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 original
spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. Using spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers
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.
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 should 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.
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 dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Oven controls
In addition to operating the various
cooking programmes to bake, roast
and grill the controls also offer the
following:
–a time of day display,
–a minute minder,
–a timer to automatically switch
cooking programmes on and off,
–settings that can be customised.
Safety features
System lock
The system lock 0prevents the oven
from being used unintentionally by
children, for example. See "System
lock".
Safety switch-off
The oven will switch itself off
automatically if it has been on for an
unusually long period of time.
The period of time will depend on the
particular oven function being used.
If it has switched itself off automatically
"Fault 55" will appear in the display.
The oven can be used again immedi-
ately after switching it off and back on.
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 a special PerfectClean finish:
– Oven interior,
–Runners,
–Baking tray,
–Universal tray, anti-splash insert and
–Rack
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.
Features
13

Catalytic enamelled surfaces
The back panel and the side panels are
coated with dark grey catalytic enamel.
Soiling from oil and fat is burnt off this
enamel when very high temperatures
are used in the oven.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.
Energy-efficiency
Door contact switch
If the door is opened during operation,
the door contact switch automatically
switches off the heating elements, and
the fan if a "Fan" setting is being used.
This helps reduce the amount of heat
lost from the oven interior, e.g. when
checking food.
Time of day display
The clock display can be switched off
to save energy. When the oven is
switched off the display will not light up.
The time of day will, however, continue
to run unseen in the background (see
"Settings").
It will reappear in the display when the
oven is next used.
Energy efficiency rating
according to EN 50304
Tests were carried out using "Fan
plus U".
Accessories
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 on www.miele-shop.com.
Baking tray, universal tray and rack
with non-tip notches
The baking tray, universal tray and rack
are inserted into the oven between the
two rails of a shelf runner.
The trays 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 them back in, always
ensure that the safety notches are at
the rear of the oven (see illustration).
They can then only be taken out of the
oven by raising them upwards and then
pulling them out.
Features
14

Anti-splash insert
The anti-splash insert should be placed
in the universal tray when grilling or
roasting.
The juices from the food being cooked
collect under the anti-splash insert. This
prevents them from spitting and making
the oven dirty. The juices can then be
used for making gravy and sauces.
Handle
The handle makes it easier to take the
universal tray, baking tray and rack out
of the oven, or to put them into it. The
two prongs at the top go inside the tray
or above the rack and the U-shaped
supports underneath.
Opener
This opener is used to remove the lamp
covers in the sides of the oven.
