Warning and Safety instructions
11
 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 burning!

 Danger of injury! The maximum load capacity for the door is
15kg. Children can hurt themselves on an open door.
Ensure that children do not sit on or swing on the door.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
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.
 Damage to the Upright Cooker can compromise your safety.
Check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Never use a
damaged Upright Cooker.
 Do not lift or carry the Upright Cooker by the oven door handle or
the control panel.
 Reliable and safe operation of the Upright Cooker can only be
guaranteed if it is 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 essential that this basic safety requirement is present
and tested regularly. If in doubt, consult a suitably qualified
electrician.
 Before connecting the Upright Cooker to the mains supply, ensure
that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply.
Compare this data before connecting the appliance to the mains. If
in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be
replaced by a Miele approved service technician in order to avoid a
hazard.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use these to
connect the Upright Cooker to the mains electricity supply.
 This Upright Cooker must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the Upright Cooker will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the Upright Cooker housing under any circumstances.
 While the Upright Cooker is under warranty, repairs should only
be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise
the warranty is invalidated.
 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.
 The connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with current
local and national safety regulations. If the plug is removed from the
connection cable or if the cable is supplied without a plug, the
Upright Cooker must be connected to the electricity supply by a
suitably qualified electrician.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven
lighting is faulty, the Upright Cooker must be completely
disconnected from the household electricity supply (see “Problem
solving guide”). The gas inlet valve must be closed. To ensure this:
– Switch off the mains circuit breaker, or
– Remove the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is applicable),
or
– Switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug. Do not pull
on the cable, but pull the plug to do this.
– Close the gas inlet valve.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 The Upright Cooker requires a sufficient supply of cool air to
function correctly. Make sure that the supply of cool air is not
hindered in any way. Furthermore the required supply of cool air
must not be excessively heated by other heat sources (e.g. solid fuel
stoves).
 If the Upright Cooker is to be built in behind a furniture front (e.g. a
door) do not close the door while the Upright Cooker is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind the closed door. This can result in
damage to the Upright Cooker, surrounding cupboards and the floor.
Leave the furniture door open until the Upright Cooker has cooled
down completely.
 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
15
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.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
Upright Cooker could catch fire.
Do not use the Upright Cooker to heat up the room.
 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 using residual heat to keep food warm, corrosion from high
air humidity and condensation can occur in the oven and damage
the control panel.
Do not switch the oven off. Instead, select the lowest temperature
available for the selected function. The cooling fan will then continue
to run.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
 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.
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.
Rapid Heat-up must be switched off.

Warning and Safety instructions
17
 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
18
 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.
Stainless steel appliances
 The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives
and will lose its dirt-repelling properties. 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
19
Cleaning and care
 The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the Upright Cooker.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
20
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.
 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”).
