necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
This appliance must only be operated as a built-in appliance. This is
Correct usage
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use to cook food, and in
particular to bake, roast, defrost, cook,
dry fruit etc, and to grill.
Any other usage is at the owner’s risk
and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
damage caused by improper use of the
appliance.
8
Never open the casing of the ap-
pliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or
components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
Warning and Safety instructions
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for unauthorised work.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
– or the mains fuse is withdrawn
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance, (e.g.
danger of overheating).
The oven is designed to be built
into a tall unit. If you wish to install
it in a base unit, the stainless steel rail
above the control panel must be replaced by a sealing strip. The sealing
strip offers additional protection from
any liquids that might spill down from
the worktop, and can be purchased
from the Miele Spare Parts dept.
Use
Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the oven.
Great care should be taken to en-
sure that small children do not
touch the appliance when it is being
used. The hob and also external parts
of the oven such as the door glass,
vents and control panel can become
quite hot.
With the pyrolytic function the front
of the oven becomes warmer than
with normal oven use.
Do not touch the oven door which may
be very hot.
Children should be prevented in any
event from touching the appliance during pyrolytic operation.
Danger of burning.
Remove all accessories including
the runners and any extra accessories such as, for example, the telescopic carriage, from the oven interior
before starting the pyrolytic cleaning
process.
The high temperatures needed for pyrolysis will damage the accessories and
cause irreparable damage to the telescopic carriage.
Use of heat-resistant oven gloves
is recommended when placing
food in the oven, turning or removing it.
When working with "Conventional" heating or when grilling, the element in the
roof of the oven and the guard plate
become very hot, and there is a danger
of being burnt.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Wait until the grill element has
cooled down before lowering it for
cleaning, to avoid the danger of burning.
Do not use force to pull it down as
this can cause the element to
break.
Use only a Miele roast probe (core
temperature probe) as supplied
with this appliance. If a replacement is
necessary it can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts dept or a Miele specialist dealer.
After using do not remove the roast
probe until the oven interior is cool.
When not in use do not leave the
roast probe in the oven, especially
when grilling. High grill temperatures
could damage it.
Do not use plastic containers.
They may melt at high temperatures. The oven could be damaged.
Do not heat up unopened tins or
jars of food in the oven, as pressure can build up and they may explode. This could result 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 the open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. Take
care in the region of the hinges. The
oven door can support a maximum
load of 10 kg.
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents
steam condensing and possibly leading to moisture damage in the oven.
If food is left in the oven after cook-
ing, e.g. to take advantage of the
residual heat, select the lowest temperature available. Leave the function
selector switch at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed.
Otherwise there may be a build-up of
condensation which could adversely affect the oven interior, and externally the
control panel, the worktop surface or
surrounding kitchen furniture.
Put any deep frozen products such
as pizza on baking paper on the
rack. Do not place them on the baking
tray or grill pan. This could cause the
metal to distort to such an extent that it
might be difficult to remove the
tray/pan from the oven. The distortion
would increase with subsequent use.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
General notes
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
oven or hob could catch fire.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
oven, ensure that the cable cannot
come in contact with the hot cooking
zones or get trapped in a hot oven
door, which could melt the cable insulation and be dangerous.
Danger of electric shock.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cooking container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, 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, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed
for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could give
rise to a short circuit.
Using alcohol in your recipes:
often alcoholic drinks such as rum,
cognac, wine etc are used when preparing dishes and oven-cooking them.
The high temperatures can cause the
alcohol to separate out.
Please take note that under adverse circumstances the alcohol can catch light
on the hot elements.
In countries 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 which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply. This should be done
by a competent person. Cut off and
render any plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
machine to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with safety instructions.

Description of the oven systems
Description of the oven systems
Fan Heat D
This system works by the circulation of
heated air.
A fan situated on the back wall of the
oven sucks in the air, heats it over a
ring element and blows the heated air
through the carefully spaced openings
in the rear panel of the oven.
Auto Roast E
The oven heats initially to a high temperature which seals the meat to keep
it succulent and tasty.
As soon as the high temperature has
been reached, the oven temperature is
automatically returned to the preselected setting.
The oven does not usually need to be
pre-heated as the heated air reaches
the food straight away.
Exception: Pre-heat the oven when
roasting meat or baking bread made
with dark flour.
Using the fan heating system you can
bake and roast on different levels at the
same time.
The heated air used by this system is
of a lower temperature than that used
with the Conventional heating system.
Conventional heating A
With this conventional method of heating, radiant heat is directed on the food
from above and below.
Pre-heating the oven is only necessary
when
– baking biscuits or cakes with a short
cooking time (up to approx.
30 minutes).
– baking some types of doughs.
– baking bread made with dark flour.
– roasting a joint of meat.
15
Description of the oven systems
Defrost G
Defrost can be operated without heating, or at a temperature of up to 50°C.
When the defrost system is used without heating the air is circulated by the
fan at room temperature.
Intensive bake F
This method combines "Fan Heat" with
"Conventional" heating, and is particularly useful for dishes that require a
moist topping and crisp base like pizza
and quiche lorraine.
Fan grill I
The hot air from the grill is distributed
over the food by the fan on the rear wall
of the oven. This enables a lower temperature to be selected than for conventional grilling.
Grill 1 ,
The inner part of the upper heating element acts as the grill. This will glow red
for a few minutes after being switched
on, and it is then ready for use. Use the
Grill 1 setting for small quantities.
Grill 2 J
The entire upper heating element acts
as the grill.
With this method the inner part of the
grill will glow red a few minutes after
being switched on. The outer part of
the grill will remain noticeably darker,
but will still produce the heat necessary
to grill.
This method is particularly good for grilling large quantities of food using the
grill pan to its full extent.
Cleaning (Pyrolytic) .
In this mode the oven cleans itself.
The oven is heated up, and any residual dirt in the oven interior is removed
by the high temperatures.
After the cleaning process any pyrolytic
debris (e.g. ash) can be easily
removed.
16
