examination, repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by
unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the
warranty.
 Maintenance by the user: Never repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless the instructions specifically recommend doing so.
Service work may only be performed by a qualified technician.
 Before installing the oven, check for externally visible damage. Do
not operate a damaged appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9
 Reliable and safe operation of the oven can only be guaranteed if
it is connected to the public power supply.
 Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:
– the door is warped,
– the door hinges are loose,
– holes or cracks are visible in the housing, the door, the door seal
or the oven interior walls.
 To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity
must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding
system. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. See "Electrical connection - GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS". 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.
 Proper installation: Make sure that your appliance has been
installed correctly and that it has been grounded by a qualified
technician.
 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.
 Before installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the
work area by
– removing the fuse,
– "tripping" the circuit breaker, or
– unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord.
 Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not use an extension cord
to connect this appliance to electricity.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
 The oven is not to be operated until it has been properly installed
within cabinetry.
 Danger of electric shock!
Under no circumstances open the outer casing of the appliance.
 This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
 Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in the operating instructions. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
 Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
 In order for the oven to function correctly, it requires an adequate
supply of cool air. Ensure that the air flow is not impaired (e.g.
insulation in the cabinetry). Also be sure that the cool air supply is
not heated by other sources nearby.
 If the oven is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the oven is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up
behind the closed door and cause damage to the oven, cabinetry
and flooring. Do not close the door until the oven has completely
cooled down.
Proper use
Danger of burns!
The Speed Oven becomes hot when in use.
Depending on the mode selected, you could burn yourself on the
heating elements, oven interior, cooked food or oven accessories.
Wear pot holders when placing food in or removing food, or when
making adjustments in the hot Speed Oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
 Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not
glowing. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, vents, and
the control panel can become hot. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact
with heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
 Do not let food sit in the oven for more than one hour before or
after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
 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, and
observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added
to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
 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 oil or grease. Do not substitute dish
towels or other bulky items for potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating elements.
 Loose fitting or hanging garments present a fire hazard. Wear
proper apparel while operating the appliance.
 Do not heat unopened containers of food in the oven, pressure
may cause the containers to burst and result in injury.
 To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height
while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is
hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
 Open the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before
placing or removing food.
 To prevent burns, allow the heating elements to cool before
cleaning by hand.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
 Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may
trip over it or be injured by it.
 Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or
fat. They can ignite if overheated. Do not use the oven for frying.
Do not use water on grease fires. Turn off the Speed Oven
immediately and suffocate the flames by keeping the door closed.
 Never store flammable liquids and materials in, above or under an
oven, or near cooking surfaces.
 To avoid fueling any flames, do not open the Speed Oven door if
smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by turning
the appliance off and disconnecting it from the power. Do not open
the door until the smoke has dissipated.
 Do not use the oven to heat the room. The high temperatures
radiated could cause objects near the oven to catch fire.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the
room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as storage space. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
 Please be aware that durations for using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using modes without microwave power. Excessively long
cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even
cause it to catch fire.
Be sure you keep to recommended broiling times when using the
"Broil" mode. Do not use the "Microwave" mode for dehydrating
items such as flowers, herbs, bread, or rolls. Never use "Broil"
modes for pre-baked products such as bread or rolls or for drying
flowers or herbs. Use "Convection Bake" for these items and
monitor the process carefully.
 Use caution when using alcohol in your recipes. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures but may, in rare circumstances,
combust on the hot heating elements.
 Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave modes. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow
recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode.
 Fire hazard! Using Microwave or Microwave combination
modes with plastic dishes which are not microwave safe can cause
them to melt and damage the appliance.
Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal,
aluminum foil, lead, crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper
covered wire ties. Do not use plastic containers with the foil lid only
partially removed (see "Containers suitable for microwave use").
 For modes without microwave power: 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 containers which are declared by the manufacturer as
being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
 Do not leave the microwave oven unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable materials.
Before using single-use containers, make sure they are suitable for
use in microwave ovens (See "Containers suitable for microwave
use - Plastics").
 Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are
intended for use in normal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminum
foil which reflects microwaves.This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become hot and ignite.
 The Speed Oven can be damaged when using Microwave or
Microwave Combination modes if it is empty or incorrectly loaded.
For this reason please do not use modes with microwave power to
pre-heat cookware or to dry herbs.
Instead use Convection Bake or Surround for these
procedures.
 When using residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the high
humidity and amount of condensation in the Speed Oven can cause
corrosion. The control panel, the countertop or the cabinetry can
also suffer damage.
Always cover food when using Microwave . Once food is cooked
through, use a lower power for continued cooking to reduce the
amount of steam produced from the food. When using residual heat
do not turn the Speed Oven off. Instead set the temperature to the
lowest setting and leave the oven on the selected mode. The fan will
then remain on automatically and dissipate the moisture.
 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15
 A build-up of heat can cause damage to the coating on the floor
of the oven.
When using Convection Bake do not line the floor of the Speed
Oven with anything, e.g. aluminum foil or oven liners. Universal trays
and glass trays should not be placed directly on the oven floor.
 The door can support a maximum weight of 33 lbs (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.
 When heating food and drinks, remember that the heat is created
in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The
dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. The temperature of the
container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid
in it.
Check the food for the desired temperature after removing it. This is
particularly important when preparing food for babies. Shake or
stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try it for
temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.
 The Speed Oven is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items.
Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning when
the item is removed from the appliance.
 Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and nipple must be
removed.
Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or
container to explode. Risk of injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
16
 The boiling wand ensures that the liquid heats up evenly with
bubbles forming at the right time.
When reheating liquids, always place the boiling wand supplied into
the cup or glass. When boiling and in particular when reheating
liquids, milk, sauces etc, using microwave power without the boiling
wand, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the
production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly
throughout. This so-called "superheating" can cause a sudden build
up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or
shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and
explosively. Danger of scalding and burning! The formation of
bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door
open, with a danger of injury and damage. The user could be injured
and the appliance damaged.
Ensure you use only the boiling wand supplied with your appliance.
 Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power
only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
 Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven.
They can only be cooked in their shells using microwave heat in a
specially designed egg-boiling device available from specialist
shops. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated in the microwave
oven either as they too will explode.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
17
 Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,
potatoes and eggplant, should be pierced or cut in several places to
allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.
 To check food temperature, first interrupt the cooking process.
Only use a thermometer specifically approved for food use to
measure the temperature of the food. Do not use a thermometers
containing mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use with
very high temperatures and break very easily
 Do not use the oven to heat up heating pads filled with grains, gel,
etc.
These pads can ignite even after they have been removed from the
Speed Oven.
 This oven must only be used for cooking food. Fumes, vapors or
heat given off by glues, plastics or flammable liquids and materials
could be hazardous. Do not use it as a dryer, kiln, dehumidifier, etc.
 Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
 Do not let metal objects (aluminum foil, pans) come in contact
with the heating element.
 Make certain that the power cords of small appliances do not
come in contact with or get caught in the oven door.
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this oven.
Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
 Only clean parts listed in these Operating and Installation
Instructions.
 Scratches on the door glass can cause the glass to break.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean the door glass.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
18
 To avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surfaces of the Speed
Oven, remove any splashes on the interior walls of the oven from
food or liquids containing salt.
 Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaners or oven
liners of any kind should not be used in or around any part of the
oven.
Accessories
 Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty will become void.
 Only use the Miele roast probe supplied with this oven. If it is
faulty, it must only be replaced with a Miele genuine roast probe.
 Very high temperatures can damage the roast probe and cause
the silicon to melt. Do not keep the roast probe in the oven. Do not
use the roast probe in Broil modes (except for Convection Broil).
