These Warning and Safety instructions apply to Ovens and Cookers.
They are referred to as ovens in the general text throughout this
manual.
This appliance complies with statutory 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.
Miele cannot be held liable for non-compliance with these
instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users
are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

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.
~It 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
incorrect operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

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
7

~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.
With cookers the cooking zones will also get hot. Place pots and
pans on the hob in such a way that children cannot reach them and
burn themselves.
~Danger of injury.
The oven door can support a maximum weight of 15 kg. Do not let
children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

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.
~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).
Warning and Safety instructions
9

~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.
~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 suitable
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").
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~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.
~Do not store items on the hob. Items could melt or catch fire from
residual heat or if the appliance is turned on inadvertently.
With cookers never use the hob as a resting place for other objects.
~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 switch the hob off on cookers.
Then suffocate the flames in the oven by keeping the oven door
closed.
With cookers suffocate the flames on the hob using a suitable lid or
a fire blanket.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~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 Uor
Conventional heat Vfor 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.
~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.
~Cover any food which is left in the oven to be kept hot, as
moisture in the food could lead to corrosion damage in the oven.
This also prevents the food from drying out.
~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. Do
not place roasting pans, pots or baking trays directly on the oven
floor.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~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.
~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 can 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

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 purposes (see
"Cleaning and care"). Ensure that they are replaced correctly and do
not use the oven without them fitted.
~The catalytic enamelled panels and liners can be removed for
cleaning purposes (see "Cleaning and care").
Ensure that they are replaced correctly and do not use the oven
without them fitted.
Warning and Safety instructions
15

Accessories
~Miele cookers with integrated hob controls may only be combined
with hobs specified by Miele as suitable for use with that appliance
(see "Electrical connection").
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
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 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.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for
disposal.
