Correct application
 This oven is intended for use in domestic households and similar
working and residential environments.
 The oven is not intended for outdoor use.
 This oven is intended for domestic use only to cook food, and in
particular to bake, roast, grill, cook, defrost and dry food. Any other
use is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
 People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience or knowledge who are not able to use the
appliance safely on their own must be supervised whilst using it.
They may only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how to
use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of

 This oven is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular
conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion
resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for
the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room lighting.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children 8 years and older may only use the oven unsupervised if
they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and
understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the oven and do not let
them play with it.
 Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 Danger of burning. 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 vents become quite hot during
use. Do not let children touch the oven whilst it is in use.
 Danger of burning.
Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of
adults. The oven gets hotter during pyrolytic cleaning than it does in
normal use. Do not let children touch the oven whilst the Pyrolytic
cleaning programme is running.
 Danger of injury. The door can support a maximum weight of
15kg.
Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it. They
could injure themselves.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 Never use a damaged oven. It could be dangerous. Check it for
visible signs of damage before using it.
 Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
 To avoid the risk of damage to the oven, make sure that the
connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the
mains electricity supply before connecting the oven to the mains.
Consult a 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 (fire hazard).
 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
 The oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
 Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Never open the casing of the appliance.
 While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 If the connection cable is damaged or if the oven is supplied
without a cable, it must be replaced or fitted with a special
connection cable by a Miele authorised technician (see "Electrical
connection").
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply, e.g. if the
oven lighting is faulty (see "Problem solving guide" and "Electrical
connection").
 In order to function correctly, the oven requires an adequate
supply of cool air. Ensure that the supply of cool air is not impaired
(e.g. by heat insulation strips in the housing unit). Please also ensure
that the cool air supply is not unduly heated by other heat sources
such as a solid fuel stove.
 If the oven is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),
ensure that the door is never closed whilst the oven is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and cause
subsequent damage to the oven, the housing unit and the floor. Do
not close the door until the oven has cooled down completely.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
Danger of burning.
The oven becomes hot when in use.
You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior,
cooked food or oven accessories.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or
removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven
when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the oven to heat up the room.
 Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
If it does ignite do not put the flames out with water. Switch the oven
off immediately and then suffocate the flames by keeping the oven
door closed.
 Grilling food for an excessively long time can cause it to dry out
with the risk of catching fire.
Do not exceed recommended grilling times.
 Some types of food dry out quickly and can self-ignite if high grill
temperatures are used.
Never use the grill to finish baking part-cooked rolls or bread or to
dry flowers or herbs. Use Fan plus or Conventional heat for
this type of procedure.
 If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can
catch fire on hot heating elements.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 When using residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the high
moisture content and amount of condensation in the oven can cause
corrosion damage. The control panel, the worktop or the housing
unit can also suffer damage.
When using residual heat do not switch the oven off. Instead set the
temperature to the lowest setting and leave the oven on the selected
function. The fan will then remain on automatically and dissipate the
moisture.
 Food which is stored in the oven or left in it to be kept warm can
dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in
the oven.
Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm.
 A build-up of heat can cause the enamel on the floor of the oven
to crack or shatter.
Do not line the floor of the oven with anything, e.g. aluminium foil or
oven liners.
If you wish to place dishes on the floor of the oven during cooking,
or place crockery on the floor of the oven to heat it up, you can do
so, but only with the Fan plus or Gentle bake function.
 The enamelling on the oven floor can become damaged by items
being pushed around on it.
If using the oven to store pots and pans, ensure that you avoid
pushing them around on the oven floor.
 If cold liquid is poured onto a hot surface steam will occur, which
can cause scalding. The sudden change in temperature can also
damage enamel surfaces.
Do not pour cold liquid directly onto hot enamelled surfaces.
 It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high. Stir and / or turn it to ensure
even heat distribution.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven can
melt at high temperatures and can even damage the oven or catch
fire.
Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer
as being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on use.
 Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars in
the oven, as pressure will build up in the container, causing it to
explode.
 You could injure yourself on the open oven door or trip over it.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
 The door can support a maximum weight of 15kg. Do not sit on
or lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.
Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and
the oven cavity. The oven could get damaged.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
Stainless steel appliances
 Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it to
lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes,
transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesive
on the stainless steel surface.
 The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratching.
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
 Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Do
not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean the door glass.
 The side runners can be removed for cleaning (see "Cleaning and
care").
Ensure that they are replaced correctly.
 Coarse soiling should be removed before running the Pyrolytic
cleaning programme. If not removed, coarse soiling can smoke and
cause the Pyrolytic cleaning programme to switch itself off.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
Accessories
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept
liability.
 If you have a Miele HUB5000-M, HUB5001-M, HUB5000-XL or
a HUB5001-XL oven dish, do not place it on Shelf level1.This would
damage the floor of the oven. The very small gap between the
bottom of the dish and the oven floor would cause a build-up of heat
and could cause the enamel to crack or chip.
Never place a Miele oven dish on the top rail of Shelf level1 as it will
not be held securely in this position by the anti-tip notches on the
runners.
In general it is best to use Shelf level2.
 Remove all accessories as well as the runners and any extra
accessories such as FlexiClip runners from the oven interior before
starting the Pyrolytic cleaning programme.
The high temperatures needed for pyrolysis will damage them.

Caring for the environment
16
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.
