Correct application
This oven is designed for domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts
and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/
shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed
& breakfasts.
The oven is not suitable for outdoor use.
The oven is intended only to cook, bake, roast, grill, defrost, bottle
and reheat food.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk.
Do not use the oven to store or dry items which could ignite easily.
If such items were dried in the oven, the moisture in the item would
evaporate causing it to dry out and even self-ignite.
This oven is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it
or have been given instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety.
They must be able to recognise the dangers of misuse.
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 for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room
lighting.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Children should be supervised near the appliance. Ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in
packing material or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation.
Keep children away from any packing material.
Danger of burning! Children's skin is far more sensitive to high
temperatures than that of adults. Great care should be taken to
ensure that children do not touch the appliance when it is being
used. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, control
panel and the vents become quite hot.
Danger of injury! The maximum load capacity for the door is 8kg.
Children can hurt themselves on an open door.
Ensure that children do not sit on or swing on the door.

automatically. Make sure that no one is in its direction of travel as it
could hit young children or pets, for example, if they are in the way.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
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.
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.
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 casing, the door, the door seal or
the oven interior walls.
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 the 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
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).

Warning and Safety instructions
12
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.
Radiation by microwaves:
Service or repairs which necessitate the removal of any casing or the
door must only be carried out by a suitably trained service
technician.
Correct use
Danger of burning!
The oven becomes hot when in use.
Depending on the function being used, 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.
Do not use the oven to heat up the room.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
appliance could catch fire.
Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. Do not use the oven for
deep fat frying.
Never use water to extinguish ignited oil or fat. Switch the oven off
immediately and then suffocate the flames by keeping the oven door
closed.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively
long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could
even cause it to catch fire.
Make sure you keep to recommended grilling times when using the
grill. Do not use Microwave Solo for drying items such as
flowers, herbs, bread or rolls. Never use functions with the grill for
drying flowers or herbs. Use Fan Plus for these procedures and
monitor the process carefully.
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 using residual heat to keep food in the oven warm, the high
humidity and amount of condensation in the oven can cause
corrosion in the oven. The control panel, the worktop or the housing
unit can also suffer damage.
Always cover food when using the Microwave Solo function.
Once food is cooked through, use a lower power level for continued
cooking to reduce the amount of steam produced from the food.
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
A build-up of heat can cause damage to the enamel on the floor
of the oven.
When using Conventional Heat, Bottom Heat, Intensive
Bake or Fan Plus, do not line the floor of the oven with
anything, e.g. aluminium foil or so-called protective liners. Nor
should you place roasting pans or glass trays directly on the oven
floor.
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.
When heating food and drinks using microwave power, 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.
Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and
then always check the temperature of the food after taking it out of
the oven. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the
temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly important
when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly or
infirm. 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 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 teat must be removed.
Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or
container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
When boiling and in particular when re-heating liquids, milk,
sauces etc., using microwave power without a boiling rod, 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 'boiling delay' 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.
Before cooking or reheating, thoroughly stir the liquid. Then wait at
least 20seconds before removing the container from the oven.
During cooking and reheating you can also place a glass rod or
similar in the container and use as a boiling rod, if available.
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, even after taking them out of the
oven.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket
potatoes and eggplants, 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 thermometer
containing mercury or liquid as these are not suitable for use with
very high temperatures and break very easily.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
Do not use the oven to heat up cushions or pads filled with cherry
kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such as those used in
aromatherapy.
These pads can ignite when heated even after they have been
removed from the oven.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching the
appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do
not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow
recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If
the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used.
However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the oven.
Fire hazard! Using Microwave Solo or Microwave combination
programmes 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,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics,
wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper covered wire
ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the foil lid
only partially removed (see “Suitable containers for microwave use”).
For functions 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.
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”).

Warning and Safety instructions
17
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 aluminium
foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
The oven can suffer damage when using Microwave Solo or
Microwave combination programmes if it is empty or incorrectly
loaded.
For this reason, please do not use functions with microwave power
to pre-heat crockery or to dry herbs.
Instead use Fan Plus or Conventional Heat.
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 8kg. 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
18
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.
Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids
containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to
avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface.
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.
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.
Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is
faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food
probe.
The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures.
Do not use the food probe when grilling (exception: Fan Grill). If
you are not using the food probe, do not store it in the oven.

Caring for the environment
19
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.
