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 oven is not designed for
commercial use. It is intended for use in
domestic households and for use in
similar working and residential
environments such as:
–Shops
–Offices and showrooms
and by residents in establishments
such as:
–Hostels and guest houses
It is intended for domestic use only to
cook food, and in particular to bake,
roast, grill, defrost and dry food.
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.
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

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).
~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.
~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
7

~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,
caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
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,
Economy grill 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, Economy
grill or Fan grill to finish baking par-
cooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers
or herbs. Fire hazard.
Use Fan plus or Conventional heat
instead.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

~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 inside 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, Bottom heat or Intensive bake.
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.
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 pour cold water onto a hot
universal tray or add 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~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.
~Only use the Miele food probe
supplied with this oven.
If a replacement is necessary it can be
obtained from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or your Miele dealer.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with these Warning and
safety instructions.

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 for programming cooking
durations,
–user programmes,
–automatic programmes,
–settings that can be customised.
Safety features
System lock
The system lock 0prevents the oven
from being used unintentionally by
children, for example. See "Settings -
Safety".
In operation lock
The reaction time when the sensors are
touched can be extended in order, for
example, to prevent the appliance
being switched off unintentionally. See
"Settings – Safety".
Safety switch-off
Safety switch-off is triggered
automatically if the oven is operated for
an unusually long period of time. The
period of time will depend on the oven
function selected.
Cooling fans
The cooling fans will come on
automatically when a cooking
programme is started. The cooling fans
mix 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 fans 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.
Vented oven door
The oven door is an open system and
some of 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.
Features
13

Energy saving features
Lighting
The oven lighting is set to switch off
15 seconds after the start of a cooking
programme (default setting). See
"Settings - Lighting".
Door contact switch
If the oven 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 basting roast meat.
At the same time, the oven lighting is
switched on.
Using residual heat
The oven heating switches off
automatically shortly before the end of a
cooking programme where the cooking
duration has been programmed or the
food probe is being used. The residual
heat in the oven is sufficient to complete
the cooking process.
"Energy save" will appear in the display.
The cooling fans continue to run, as
does the hot air fan if a "Fan" setting
has been chosen.
Energy save mode
The oven switches off automatically to
save energy if, at the end of an Auto-
matic programme or a cooking
programme with Automatic switch-off,
no other cooking function is selected
within a certain time period.
This time period depends on the
settings selected (cooking function,
temperature, cooking duration).
Either the time of day is displayed or
the display is dark: see "Settings - Time
- Display".

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.
Universal tray and rack with anti-tip
safety notches
The universal tray and rack are inserted
into the oven between the two rails of a
shelf runner.
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 rack 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

FlexiClip telescopic runners
The FlexiClip telescopic runners can be
clipped into any of the existing shelf
runners and pulled out of the oven to
their fullest extent.
Push the telescopic runners right in
before placing a tray or rack on
them.
To prevent the risk of a rack or tray
sliding off the runners, make sure that
they are sitting securely on their
runners in between the stoppers at
either end of each runner.
The FlexiClip runners can support a
maximum load of 15 kg.
Fitting the FlexiClip telescopic runners
Make sure that the oven has cooled
down before moving the FlexiClip
