safety requirements. Improper use
of the appliance can lead to
personal injury and material
damage.
Read all instructions before installing
or using the oven for the first time.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to

Installation
~Before installation, make sure that
the voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
~Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this
appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damages caused by the
lack, or inadequacy, of an effective
grounding system or the failure to
adhere to national and local electrical
codes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Oven use
,WARNING: Ovens can produce
high temperatures that can cause
burns.
~Prevent children from touching the
appliance when in use.
~Use heat-resistant potholders when
placing items in the oven, turning them,
or removing them from the oven. The
upper heating element and oven racks
can become very hot and cause burns.
~To prevent burns, always place
oven racks at their desired height while
the oven is cool.
~Open the door carefully to allow hot
air or steam to escape before placing
or removing food.
~To prevent burns, allow the heating
element to cool before cleaning by
hand.
~The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket. The
door gasket should only be cleaned
with a solution of warm water and soap.
~Only clean parts listed in this
manual.
~Caution: Heating elements may be
hot even though they are not glowing.
During and after use, do not let clothing
or other flammable materials come in
contact with heating elements or interior
surfaces of the oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. External parts of
the oven such as the door glass, vents,
and the control panel can become hot.
~Do not block any vent
openings.
~Aluminum foil should not be used to
line the oven floor. To avoid damage,
do not place pots, pans or baking
sheets directly on the oven floor.
~Do not let metal objects (aluminum
foil, metal pans) or the meat probe
come in contact with the heating
element.
~Do not slide pots or pans on the
oven floor. This could scratch and
damage the surface.
~Do not lean, sit, or place heavy
items on the open oven door.
~Only use the Miele roast probe
supplied with the oven. Contact Miele if
you need to purchase a new probe.
~To prevent damage, remove the
roast probe from the oven when it is not
being used.
~Do not heat unopened containers of
food in the oven, pressure may build up
and cause them to explode.
~Never add water to food on a hot
tray or pan, or directly onto food in a
hot oven. The steam created could
cause serious burns or scalds.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~This oven must only be used for
cooking. Do not use it as a dryer, kiln,
dehumidifier, etc. Fumes or vapors
given off by glues, plastics or
flammable liquids and materials could
be hazardous.
~Never store flammable liquids and
materials in, above or under an oven, or
near cooking surfaces.
~When baking frozen pizzas or pies,
place them on the rack lined with
parchment paper. Do not use the
baking tray or the roasting pan for
frozen foods with a large surface area.
The tray or pan could become warped
and difficult to remove from the oven
when hot. Frozen food like french fries,
fish sticks, chicken fingers etc. can be
baked on the baking tray.
General notes
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the oven. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where an oven is
in use. Never allow children to sit or
stand on any part of the oven.
Caution: Do not store items of interest
to children in cabinets above an oven.
Children climbing on the oven to reach
these items could be injured.
~Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils or fats, they are
a fire hazard if overheated.
~Do not use water on grease fires!
Smother the fire with a properly rated
dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher.
~Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments while operating the cooktop,
they present a fire hazard.
~Do not use the oven to heat the
room.
~Make certain that the power cords of
small appliances do not come in
contact with or get caught in the oven
door.
~Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in
steam burns. Do not let potholders
come in contact with oils. Do not
substitute towels or other bulky items
for potholders.
~It is recommended to cover all
cooked food that is left in the oven to
be kept warm. This will prevent
moisture from condensing on the
interior of the oven.
~Be careful when using alcoholic
beverages like rum, whiskey, wine etc.
for baking or roasting. The alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures but
may in rare circumstances combust on
the hot heating elements.

Wire rack
The racks are to be slid into the runners
on either side of the oven. They have
non-tip safety notches which prevent
them from being pulled out completely
while the oven is in use.
When inserting a rack, always check
that the safety notches are at the
rear of the oven.
The rack can only be removed by
raising it upwards and then pulling out.
The wire racks are coated with
PerfectClean and can be easily
cleaned with a sponge and dish soap.
Roasting pan
The roasting pan is ideal for catching
drippings from meat or poultry roasted
or broiled directly on the rack.
Slide the roasting pan onto the rail
below the wire rack. See illustration.
It can also be used as a baking tray.
The roasting pan is coated with
PerfectClean enamel and can be easily
cleaned with a sponge and dish soap.
