Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future user.
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.
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate, otherwise the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a competent person if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between the
appliance and an effective earthing system, which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
This appliance must only be oper-
ated as a built-in appliance. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.

pliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts
is highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in
accordance with national and local
safety regulations. Repairs and other
work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for unauthorised
work.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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– or the mains fuse is withdrawn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).
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance while maintenance or
repair work is being carried out.
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.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Use
Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the oven and the hob cooking areas.
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,
handle vent and control panel can
become quite hot. For cookers with a
hob turn pan handles inwards to prevent children from pulling pans over.
Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where an
oven is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the oven or play with it.
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an oven. Children climbing on the oven to reach these
items could be seriously injured.
Oven
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.
12
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.
Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures
and could damage the oven.
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, turn the temperature selector to the lowest setting. Leave the
function selector at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed.
Moisture in the oven could lead to condensation forming on the control panel
and surrounding kitchen furniture and
drops of moisture collecting under the
worktop.
Condensation can:
- damage the housing unit / worktop.
- lead to moisture damage in the oven.
On ovens or cookers with a built-in
catalyser failure to do this could result
in deposits remaining in the catalyser,
causing an unpleasant smell to arise
the next time the appliance is used.
Bake any deep-frozen items such
as pizzas on baking paper on the
rack itself. Do not place them on the
baking tray or in the grill pan/oven tray.
This could cause the metal to distort to
such an extent that it might be impossible to remove the pan from the
oven whilst it is still hot. This distortion
would increase with subsequent use.
Deep frozen foods such as oven chips
or potato croquettes can be cooked on
the baking tray or grill pan/oven.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Never add water to food on a hot
baking tray or grill pan/oven tray or
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.
Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using Conventional top and bottom heat A or Bottom
heat B. Do not place a dish, tin, baking tray or grill pan/oven tray on the
floor of the oven.
If using a grill pan/oven tray made by a
different manufacturer make sure that
there is a gap of at least 6 cm between
the bottom of the pan and the floor of
the oven.
If these instructions are not observed
the bottom heat will be blocked. This
can cause permanent damage to the
floor of the oven.
Protective aluminium foil panels
are available in retail outlets which
are supposed to protect the oven cavity from soiling and reduce the need for
cleaning. If used, cooking and baking
times will increase considerably.
They can also cause damage to the appliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
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.
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 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, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed
for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
oven, ensure that the cable cannot
come into contact with hot cooking
zones or get trapped in a hot oven
door, which could melt the cable insulation and be dangerous. Danger of electric shock.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause 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 vaporise.
Please take note that under adverse circumstances the alcohol can catch light
on the hot heating elements.
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 these Warning and
safety instructions.
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.

16
Description of the 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, enabling
lower temperatures to be used than
with the Conventional heating system.
The oven does not usually need to be
pre-heated as the heated air reaches
the food straight away.
Exception: Pre-heating may be necessary for foods such as puff pastry and
yeast mixtures where instant heat is required to make them rise quickly.
Using the fan heating system you can
bake and roast on different levels at the
same time.
Rapid heat-up Ä
With Rapid heat-up the grill element,
the fan heat element and the fan all
switch on at the same time so that the
oven reaches the required temperature
as quickly as possible. The indicator
light above the temperature selector
goes out when the required temperature has been reached. The oven function selector must then be turned to the
function you wish to use.
Description of the systems
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 pre-selected setting.
Conventional heating A
With the conventional method of heating, radiant heat is directed on the food
from above and below. It is useful
where a fairly long cooking time is required and a deep colour and good
rise are needed.
It is usually necessary to pre-heat the
oven for about 20 minutes when using
this method.
Grill n
The inner part of the upper heating element acts as the grill. This will glow red
a few minutes after switching it on and
is then ready for use.
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before placing food under the grill.
Fan grill N
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.
17

of poultry etc. Grill with the oven
door closed.
Temperature selector
(depending on model)
The temperature can be freely selected
within the given range.
Turn the temperature selector in a
clockwise direction to the required
setting. Then turn it back in an anticlockwise direction. Do not force it
right round in a clockwise direction
as this would damage the selector.
When the temperature selector is
turned to a temperature setting, the indicator light above the selector comes
on.
When the temperature is reached, the
heating element switches itself off.
When the temperature falls below that
selected, the heating element switches
on again automatically.

temperature and function selectors
without the timer. Press "i" to allow
you to do this.
Place the food in the oven.
Turn the oven selector to the re-
quired function.
Use the temperature selector to set
the required temperature.
The oven starts to heat up.
Depending on model the heating is
automatically interrupted as soon as
the oven door is opened. This operates
the door contact switch which switches off the heating systems, and the
fan with "Fan heat".
If food is left in the oven after cooking, e.g. to take advantage of the residual heat, turn the temperature selector to the lowest setting. Leave
the function selector at the position
set. Do not switch the appliance off
until the food has been removed.
Moisture in the oven could lead to
condensation forming on the control
panel and surrounding kitchen furniture and drops of moisture collecting under the worktop.
On ovens or cookers with a built-in
catalyser failure to do this could result in deposits remaining in the
catalyser, causing an unpleasant
smell to arise the next time the appliance is used.
You can also programme the oven to
end or delay the start of a cooking processe automatically, (see "Programming cooking time automatically").
