IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Technical safety
 Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations and the provided installation
instructions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for
examination, repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by
unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the
warranty.
 Do not carry or lift the range by the oven door handle or the
control panel!
 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.
 Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Miele may
void the user's authority to operate the oven.
 A damaged range can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
 Reliable and safe operation of the range can only be guaranteed if
it is connected to the public power supply.
 The electrical safety of the range can only be guaranteed when it
is properly grounded. Compliance with this essential safety
requirement is absolutely mandatory. If in any doubt, please have
the building's wiring system inspected 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.
 The oven is not to be operated until it has been properly installed
within cabinetry.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
 To avoid damaging the range, make sure that the connection data
(voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the
building's power supply before connecting the appliance.
When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
 Do not use a power strip or extension cord to connect the range
to electricity. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the
required level of appliance safety.
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Danger of electric shock!
Under no circumstances open the outer casing of the appliance.
 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.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven
lighting is broken (see "Frequently asked questions"), the range must
be completely disconnected from the household electricity supply.
The gas supply must be shut off. Ensure that this is the case by:
– removing the fuse,
– "tripping" the circuit breaker, or
– unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not the cord.
– Shut off the gas supply and, if necessary, disconnect the range
from the gas line. Installation and maintenance of the gas
connection must be performed by qualified installers, service
agencies or gas providers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
 If the range is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the
door while the appliance is in operation. Heat and moisture can build
up behind the closed door and cause damage to the range and to
the surrounding cabinets and flooring. Do not close the door until
the appliance has completely cooled down.
 Do not install kitchen cabinets above the range, since reaching
over a hot stovetop to access the cabinets can result in burns. If it is
necessary to install cabinets, you can reduce the risk of burns by
installing a range hood that extends at least 4 3/4" (12 cm) past the
bottom of the cabinets.
 The water shutoff valve must be accessible after the range has
been installed.
 The protective sleeve of the water intake hose must not be
damaged or become kinked. This will cause it to leak.
 The integrated Waterproof System offers protection against water
damage if the following conditions are met:
– The range is properly installed (connected to electric and water
supply).
– The range is repaired immediately whenever damage is detected.
– The water supply is shut off during extended periods of non-use
(e.g. vacation).
 Hard water, water containing minerals and water from reverse
osmosis filtering systems can damage the range. Only use filtered,
softened and demineralized water from the building's plumbing to
supply the range.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
Proper use
The oven becomes very hot while in use. Use caution to
ensure that you are not burned on the heating elements or interior
surfaces of the oven. Use pot holders when placing food in the
oven, adjusting the racks, etc. in a hot oven.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15
 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.
 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 water on grease
fires.Turn off the oven immediately and suffocate the flames by
keeping the oven door closed.
 Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
 Never store flammable liquids and materials in, above or under an
oven, or near cooking surfaces.
 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
16
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.
 Broiling food for an excessively long time can cause it to dry out
and may result in the food catching fire.
Do not exceed recommended broiling times.
 Some foods dry out very quickly and can be ignited by high
broiling temperatures. Do not use broiling modes for crisping rolls or
bread, or to dry flowers or herbs. Instead use the Convection Bake
or Surround modes.
 Use caution when using alcohol in your recipes. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures but may, in rare circumstances,
combust on the hot heating elements.
 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.
 When residual heat is used to keep food warm, the high level of
humidity and condensation can cause damage in the oven. The
control panel, countertop or cabinetry 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 mode you are
using. This will ensure the fan will automatically continue to run.
 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
17
 To avoid damage, do not place aluminum foil, pots, pans or
baking sheets directly on the oven floor. This can cause a build up of
heat that will damage the oven floor.
 Do not slide pots or pans on the oven floor. This could scratch
and damage the surface.
 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.
 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.
 When baking frozen pizzas or pies, place them on the wire rack
lined with parchment paper. Do not use the baking tray or the
roasting pan for frozen foods with a large surface area. The tray or
pan could become warped and difficult to remove from the oven
when hot. Frozen foods like french fries, chicken nuggets, etc. can
be baked on the baking tray.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
18
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.
 The shelf runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care"). Ensure they are correctly fitted after cleaning
and never operate the oven without the shelf runners inserted.
 There is a seal around the oven interior which seals the inside of
the door. Take care not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
 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.
 Debris should be removed before running the Self Clean program.
If not removed this debris can smoke causing the self-cleaning
program to turn itself off.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
19
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 wireless 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).
 This oven complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s) and part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
 The high temperatures used during self-cleaning will damage
accessories that are not designed for cleaning in the Self Clean
program. Please remove these accessories from the oven before
starting the Self Clean program. This also applies to accessories
purchased separately (see "Cleaning and care").
Preparing your appliance for an extended vacation
 If you elect to turn off the water to your home for an extended
period of time, please note that this may not be enough to reduce
the risk of a leak. To be completely safe, you must turn off the water
supply to each individual appliance.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
