Correct application
 The drawer is intended for domestic use and use in other similar
environments.
 The drawer is not intended for outdoor use.
 It is intended for domestic use only as described in these
operating instructions. Any other usage is not supported by the
manufacturer and could be dangerous.
 People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge who are not able to use the
drawer safely on their own must be supervised whilst using it. They
may only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it
safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect
operation.
Safety with children
 Children must be kept away from the drawer unless they are
constantly supervised.
 Children 8 years and older may only use the drawer unsupervised
if they have been shown how to use it in a safe way and can
recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean the drawer unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the drawer, and do not
let them play with it.
 The warming drawer gets hot when in use and remains hot for a
while after being switched off. Keep children well away from the
warming drawer until it has cooled down and there is no danger of
burning.
 Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.
 Do not lift or carry the Range Cooker by the oven door handle or
control panel.
 A damaged drawer can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
 Reliable and safe operation of the Range Cooker can only be
guaranteed if it is connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The electrical safety of the Range Cooker can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested regularly. If in doubt, consult a
suitably qualified electrician.
 Before connecting the Range Cooker to the mains supply, ensure
that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance.
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use these to
connect the Range Cooker to the mains electricity supply.
 This Range Cooker must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the Range Cooker will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the Range Cooker housing under any circumstances.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 While the Range Cooker is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
warranty is invalidated.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 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 (GasSafe in the UK).
If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the Range Cooker must be connected to
the electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven
lighting is faulty (see "Problem solving guide"), the Range Cooker
must be completely disconnected from the household electricity
supply.). The gas inlet valve must be closed To ensure this:
– disconnect the mains fuse, or
– completely unscrew the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is
applicable), or
– switch off at the isolator switch, or switch off at the wall socket
and withdraw the plug. Do not pull on the cable, but pull the plug
instead in order to do this.
– Close the gas inlet valve.

Warning and Safety instructions

 If the Range Cooker is to be built in behind a furniture front (e.g. a
door) do not close the door while the Range Cooker is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind the closed door. This can result in
damage to the Range Cooker, surrounding cupboards and the floor.
Leave the furniture front/door open until the Range 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.
Correct use
 You could burn yourself on a hot drawer or on hot crockery.
Protect your hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when
working with the hot appliance. Do not let them get wet or damp, as
this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with
the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
 Do not store any plastic containers or inflammable objects in the
drawer. They could melt or catch fire when the appliance is switched
on, causing a fire hazard.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the drawer
when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the drawer to heat up
the room.
 Never replace the anti-slip mat supplied with the appliance with
paper kitchen towel or similar.
 The telescopic runners can support a maximum load of 25kg.
Overloading or leaning or sitting on the open drawer will damage the
telescopic runners.
 The underside of the drawer gets hot when switched on. Be
careful not to touch it when the drawer is open.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 The anti-slip mat is heat-resistant up to 200°C.
It is possible for the bottom of cookware to exceed this temperature,
especially after it has been used to sear food. Allow the cookware to
cool down for a minute or two before placing it in the drawer.
 Cookware made of plastic or aluminium foil will melt at high
temperatures. When keeping food warm, use only heat-resistant
cookware made of porcelain, glass, etc.
 Liquids that get inside the drawer can cause the appliance to
short-circuit. Open and close a loaded drawer carefully to prevent
liquids from spilling.
 The Keeping food warm function is designed to keep hot food
warm and not to warm up cold food. Ensure food is really hot when
placed inside the drawer.
 Bacteria can develop on the food if the temperature is too low.
Make sure that you set a high enough temperature to keep food
warm.
Stainless steel appliances
 Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it to
lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes,
transparent adhesive tape, masking tape or other types of adhesive
on the stainless steel surface.
 The surface is susceptible to scratching. Even magnets can cause
scratching.
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean the drawer.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
 Do not clean the anti-slip mat in the dishwasher or washing
machine. Never place it in the oven to dry!
