Warning and Safety instructions
10
Technical safety
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
 A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check it for any visible
damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
 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 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.
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure
that the rating on the data plate (voltage and frequency) corresponds
to that of the household supply.
This data must correspond in order to avoid risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any 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.
 This oven must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (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.
Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 If the oven is delivered without a mains connection cable, or if the
mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced by a
Miele approved service technician with a specialist connection cable
of type H 05 VV-F, available from Miele, (see "Electrical connection")
in order to avoid a hazard.
 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"). It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
 For the oven to function correctly, it requires a sufficient intake of
cool air. Ensure the intake of cool air to the oven is not impaired (e.g.
due to the installation of insulation material inside the housing unit).
Furthermore, the incoming cool air must not be excessively heated
by other heat sources (e.g. fuel furnaces).
 If the oven is installed behind a furniture door, do not close the
door while the oven is in operation. Heat and moisture would build
up behind a closed furniture door, potentially causing damage to the
oven, the furniture unit and the flooring. Wait until the oven has
cooled down completely before closing the furniture door.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
Correct use
Danger of burning!
The oven becomes hot when in use.
Exercise care when handling food and trays so as not to burn
yourself on heating elements, the walls of the oven, shelf runners,
trays and hot food itself.
Use oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or
removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
 Do not use the oven to heat up the room.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
appliance could catch fire.
 Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or
fat. They can ignite if overheated.
Do not use water on grease fires. Turn off the oven immediately and
suffocate the flames by keeping the oven door closed.
 Make sure that you keep to the recommended grilling times when
using grilling functions.
Excessively long grilling times can lead to food drying out and
burning or could even cause the food to catch fire.
 Some foods dry out very quickly and can be ignited by high
grilling temperatures.
Do not use grilling functions for crisping rolls or bread or to dry
flowers or herbs. Instead use Fan Plus or Conventional Heat.
 If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on
the hot heating elements.
 When residual heat is used to keep food warm, the high level of
humidity and condensation can cause corrosion in the oven. The
control panel, worktop or furniture unit may also be damaged.
Do not switch the oven off completely while food is inside it, but
select the lowest possible temperature for the oven function you are
using. This will ensure the fan will automatically continue to run.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 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.
 Never pour cold water onto hot surfaces in a hot oven.
The steam created could cause serious burns or scalding and the
sudden change in temperature can damage the enamel in the oven.
 During cooking processes using moisture and during the residual
moisture evaporation process steam is produced which can cause
serious injury by scalding. Do not open the door whilst a burst of
steam is being released or during the evaporation process.
 It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throughout
the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food.
 Plastic containers, which are not heat-resistant, melt and may
ignite at high temperatures and can damage the oven.
Use only plastic containers that are indicated by the manufacturer as
being suitable for use in ovens.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 Do not use the appliance to heat up or bottle food in sealed jars
and tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing
damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.
 Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may
trip over it or be injured by it.
 The oven door can support a maximum load of 15kg. Do not lean
or sit on an open oven door, or place heavy items on it. Also make
sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven
cavity. This could damage the oven.
For ovens with a stainless steel front:
 The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives
and will lose its protective effect against pollution. Do not adhere
sticky notes, transparent tape, masking tape or other adhesives onto
the stainless steel surface.
 The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratches.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this oven.
Pressurised steam could reach the 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 shelf runners can be removed for cleaning (see "Cleaning and
care").
Ensure that they are replaced correctly and do not use the oven
without them fitted.
 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.
 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
Accessories
 Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
 If you have a Miele HUB5000-M/HUB5001-M/HUB5000-XL/
HUB5001-XL (if available) 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.
Do not place Miele oven dishes on the top rail of shelf level1 as they
will not be secured in this position by the non-tip safety notches on
the sides of the dishes.
Instead, use shelf level2 for these oven dishes.
 The high temperatures used during the Pyrolytic cleaning
programme will damage accessories that are not designed for
cleaning in the Pyrolytic programme. Please remove these
accessories from the oven interior before starting the Pyrolytic
cleaning programme. This also applies to non-pyrolytic accessories
purchased separately to the oven (see "Cleaning and care").

Caring for the environment
17
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally 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. 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.
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. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
