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.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5

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.
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.
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.
Disposal of an old oven
When discarding an old oven,
disconnect it from the power
supply and cut off the power cord.
