This appliance conforms to current

safety requirements. Inappropriate

use can, however, lead to personal

injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the appliance, please

read these instructions carefully

before using it for the first time. They

contain important notes on

installation, safety, use and

maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place and ensure that new users are

familiar with the contents. Pass them

on to any future owner.

Correct application

~

This oven is not designed for

commercial use. It is intended for use in

domestic households and for use in

similar working and residential

environments such as:

–

Shops

–

Offices and showrooms

and by residents in establishments

such as:

–

Hostels and guest houses

~

It is intended for domestic use only

to cook food, and in particular to bake,

roast, grill, defrost and dry food.

Any other use is not supported by the

manufacturer and could be dangerous.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage

resulting from incorrect or improper use

or operation of the appliance.

~

This appliance 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 shown how to use it correctly by a

person responsible for their safety.

Safety with children

~

This appliance is not a toy! To

Make sure children cannot touch the

oven whilst a pyrolytic programme is

running. Danger of burning.

Warning and Safety instructions

6

Technical safety

~

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a

suitably qualified and competent

person in strict accordance with current

national and local safety regulations.

Repairs and other work by unqualified

persons could be dangerous. The

manufacturer cannot be held liable for

unauthorised work.

~

Before installation, check the

appliance for visible signs of damage.

Do not install and use a damaged

appliance. A damaged appliance could

be dangerous.

~

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.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for the consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

~

Before connecting the appliance,

make sure that the connection data on

the data plate (voltage and connected

load) match the mains electricity

supply.

This data must correspond in order to

avoid the risk of damage to the

appliance. Consult a competent person

if in 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.

~

Never open the housing of the

appliance.

Tampering with electrical connections

or components and mechanical parts is

highly dangerous to the user and can

cause operational faults.

~

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be

undertaken by a service technician

authorised by the manufacturer.

Otherwise the guarantee will be

invalidated.

~

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be

disconnected from the mains electricity

supply. It is only completely isolated

from the electricity supply when:

–

the mains fuse is disconnected,

–

the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable),

–

it is switched off at the isolator.

Ensure that current is not supplied to

the appliance until after maintenance

or repair work has been carried out.

Warning and Safety instructions

7

~

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original

spare parts. The manufacturer can only

guarantee the safety of the appliance

when Miele replacement parts are

used.

~

If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a Miele approved

service technician to avoid a hazard.

~

This appliance may only be used in

mobile installations such as ships etc. if

a risk assessment of the installation has

been carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

~

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by

cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any

damage caused by cockroaches or

other vermin will not be covered by the

guarantee.

Correct use

Caution. Danger of burning.

High temperatures are produced by

the oven.

~

Use oven gloves when placing food

in the oven, turning or removing it and

when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a

hot oven. Be very careful that you do

not burn yourself on the top heating/grill

element.

~

Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil or

fats, as these are a fire hazard if

allowed to overheat.

~

Do not exceed the recommended

grilling times when using the Full grill,

Economy grill and Fan grill functions.

Excessively long grilling times can lead

to food drying out and burning, or could

even cause it to catch fire.

~

Do not use the Full grill, Economy

grill or Fan grill to finish baking par-

cooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers

or herbs. Fire hazard.

Use Fan plus or Conventional heat

instead.

Warning and Safety instructions

8

~

If using alcohol in your recipes, high

temperatures can cause the alcohol to

vaporise and even to ignite on the hot

heating elements.

Alcohol should be burnt off before the

dish is placed in the oven to avoid this

danger.

~

Cover any food which is left in the

oven to be kept hot. Any moisture in the

food could lead to corrosion damage in

the oven. This also prevents the food

from drying out.

~

If you wish to complete a cooking

process using the residual heat in the

oven, leave the oven at the function

selected and select the lowest

temperature for that function. Do not

switch the appliance off until the food

has been removed. Increased moisture

in the oven could cause condensation

to form which could lead to

– corrosion inside the oven.

– damage to the control panel, worktop

and surrounding kitchen furniture.

~

Do not line the floor of the oven with

aluminium foil when using Conventional

heat, Bottom heat or Intensive bake.

This would cause a build-up of heat

which could cause damage to the floor

of the oven.

For this reason do not place a dish, tin

or baking tray directly on the oven floor.

If using a tray made by a different

manufacturer, make sure that there is a

gap of at least 6 cm between the

bottom of the tray and the floor of the

oven.

~

Never pour cold water onto a hot

universal tray or add directly onto food

in a hot oven. The steam created could

cause serious burns or scalding and

the sudden change in temperature can

damage the enamel.

~

Always ensure that food is suitably

cooked or reheated.

Some foods may contain micro-

organisms which are only destroyed by

thorough cooking at temperatures over

70°C for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Therefore when cooking or reheating

foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly

important that food is fully cooked

through. If in doubt select a longer

cooking or reheating time.

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

during cooking.

~

If using plastic containers for

cooking, they must be declared by the

manufacturer as being suitable for use

in an oven. Other types of plastic

containers melt at high temperatures,

and could damage the oven.

Warning and Safety instructions

9

~

Do not heat up unopened tins or jars

of food in the oven. Pressure can build

up and they may explode, resulting in

injury or damage.

~

Do not push pots and pans around

on the oven floor as this could damage

the surface.

~

Do not lean or sit on an open oven

door, or place heavy items on it. Make

sure that nothing gets trapped between

the door and the oven compartment.

This could damage the oven.

The oven door can support a maximum

load of 15 kg.

~

Do not use the appliance to heat up

the room. Due to the high temperatures

radiated, objects near the appliance

could catch fire.

Accessories

~

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this appliance. If

spare parts or accessories from other

manufacturers are used, this will

invalidate the guarantee, and Miele

cannot accept liability.

~

Remove all accessories as well as

the runners and any extra accessories

such as FlexiClip runners from the oven

interior before starting the pyrolytic

cleaning process. The high

temperatures needed for pyrolysis will

damage the accessories.

~

Only use the Miele food probe

supplied with this oven.

If a replacement is necessary it can be

obtained from the Miele Spare Parts

Department or your Miele dealer.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by non-

compliance with these Warning and

Safety instructions.

Oven controls

In addition to operating the various

cooking programmes to bake, roast

and grill, the controls also offer the

following:

–

a time of day display,

–

a minute minder,

–

a timer for programming cooking

durations,

–

user programmes,

–

automatic programmes,

–

settings that can be customised.

Auto sensor

This sensor controls

– the cooking duration of the automatic

programmes. This will be indicated in

the display.

– the cooling fan run-on time.

– the duration of the pyrolytic cleaning

process.

Safety features

System lock

The system lock 0 prevents the oven

from being used unintentionally by

children, for example. See "Settings -

Safety".

In operation lock

The reaction time when the sensors are

touched can be extended in order, for

example, to prevent the appliance

being switched off unintentionally. See

"Settings – Safety".

Safety switch-off

Safety switch-off is triggered

automatically if the oven is operated for

an unusually long period of time. The

period of time will depend on the oven

function selected.

Cooling fans

The cooling fans will come on

automatically when a cooking

programme is started. The cooling fans

mix hot air from the oven cavity with

cool room air before venting it out into

the kitchen through vents located

between the appliance door and the

control panel.

The cooling fans will continue to run for

a while after the oven has been

switched off to prevent any humidity

building up in the oven, on the control

panel or on the oven housing unit.

Vented oven door

The oven door is an open system and

some of the door panes have a heat-

reflecting coating. During operation,

cool air is passed through the oven

door to keep the outer pane cool.

If necessary, the oven door can be

dismantled for cleaning.

Door lock for pyrolytic operation

For safety reasons the door locks as

soon as the pyrolytic cleaning

programme starts. After the pyrolytic

programme has finished, the door will

remain locked until the temperature in

the oven has dropped below 280°C.

Features

13

Energy saving features

Lighting

The oven lighting is set to switch off

15 seconds after the start of a cooking

programme (default setting). See

"Settings - Lighting".

Door contact switch

If the oven door is opened during

operation, the door contact switch

automatically switches off the heating

elements and the fan, if a "Fan" setting

is being used. This helps reduce the

amount of heat lost from the oven

interior, e.g. when basting roast meat.

At the same time, the oven lighting is

switched on.

Using residual heat

The oven heating switches off

automatically shortly before the end of a

cooking programme where the cooking

duration has been programmed or the

food probe is being used. The residual

heat in the oven is sufficient to complete

the cooking process.

"Energy save" will appear in the display.

The cooling fans continue to run, as

does the hot air fan if a "Fan" setting

has been chosen.

Energy save mode

The oven switches off automatically to

save energy if, at the end of an Auto

-

matic programme or a cooking

programme with Automatic switch-off,

no other cooking function is selected

within a certain time period.

This time period depends on the

settings selected (cooking function,

temperature, cooking duration).

Either the time of day is displayed or

the display is dark: see "Settings - Time

- Display".

red.

You can change the default setting for

these. See "Settings – Speedlight".

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces are all treated

with a special PerfectClean finish:

–

Side runners,

–

Universal tray,

–

Anti-splash insert,

–

Rack

PerfectClean surfaces have very good

anti-stick properties and are much

easier to keep clean than conventional

enamel, if cleaned regularly.

Features

15

Universal tray and rack with anti-tip

safety notches

The universal tray and rack are inserted

into the oven between the two rails of a

shelf runner.

Both the universal tray and rack have

non-tip safety notches which prevent

them being pulled right out when they

only need to be partially pulled out.

When pushing the rack back in,

always ensure that the safety

notches are at the rear of the oven

(see illustration).

They can then only be taken out of the

oven by raising them upwards and then

pulling them out.

If you are using a tray with the rack on

top, insert the tray between the rails of

a shelf runner and the rack will sit on

top of it.

Anti-splash insert

The anti-splash insert should be placed

in the universal tray when grilling or

roasting.

The juices from the food being cooked

collect under the anti-splash tray. This

prevents them from spitting and making

the oven dirty. The juices can then be

used for making gravy and sauces.

Features

16

FlexiClip telescopic runners

The FlexiClip telescopic runners can be

clipped into any of the existing shelf

runners and pulled out of the oven to

their fullest extent.

Push the telescopic runners right in

before placing a tray or rack on

them.

To prevent the risk of a rack or tray

sliding off the runners, make sure that

they are sitting securely on their

runners in between the stoppers at

either end of each runner.

The FlexiClip runners can support a

maximum load of 15 kg.

Fitting the FlexiClip telescopic runners

Make sure that the oven has cooled

down before moving the FlexiClip

runners.

Take care not to burn yourself on them.

The FlexiClip runners are fitted in between

the two rails that make up a shelf level.

The telescopic runner with the Miele

logo is fitted on the right.
