Warning and Safety instructions
Oven operation
Ovens can produce high temperatures.
Children should be prevented from
touching the appliance when in use.
Heat-resistant oven gloves are re-
commended when placing items
in the oven, turning them, or removing
them from the oven. The top heating
element and oven racks can become
very hot and cause burns.
Always open the door carefully.
Allow hot air or steam to escape
before placing or removing food.
Allow the upper element to cool
before cleaning. This will prevent
possible burns.
Use care when lowering the upper
heating element. Damage to the
element is possible if extreme force is
used.
Always place oven racks in their
desired height while the oven is
cool. This will prevent burns.
Oven gloves are needed when adjusting hot racks. Do not allow the gloves
to come in contact with the heating
elements.
Caution: Heating elements may
be hot even though they are not
glowing. During and after use, do not
let clothing or other flammable materials come in contact with heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven
until they have had sufficient time to
cool. External parts of the oven such as
the door glass, vents, and control
panel can become hot.
Keep oven vents unobstructed.
Do not let metal objects (aluminum
foil, metal pans) or the meat probe
come in contact with the hot heating
elements.
Do not slide pots or pans on the
oven floor. This could scratch or
even damage the floor’s surface.
Do not lean, sit, or place heavy
items on the open oven door. The
door can support a maximum weight of
22 lbs (10 kg).
Cover all cooked food that is left in
the oven to be kept warm. This will
prevent food from drying out and moisture from condensing on the interior of
the oven. Long-term or excessive condensation could damage the oven.
Use only the Miele roast probe
supplied with the oven. If a replacement is necessary, it can be purchased from the Miele Technical Service Dept. or a Miele dealer.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Remove the roasting probe from
the oven when not using the
probe. High broiling temperatures
could damage the probe.
Do not heat unopened containers
of food in the oven, as pressure
may build up and cause them to explode.
To keep food warm after cooking,
take advantage of the residual
heat or select the lowest temperature
available.
Place frozen products (such as
pizza or TV dinners) directly on the
rack. Do not place them on the baking
tray or broiling pan. This could cause
the metal to distort to such an extent
that it may be difficult to remove the
items from the oven.
Never use aluminum foil to line
the oven floor or place pots, pans
or baking sheets directly on the
oven floor when using "Top &
Bottom Heat", "Bottom Heat" or
the "Intensive Bake". This could
crack the enamel on the oven
floor.
For ovens with a retrofitted cata-
lytic converter:
This oven must only be used for cooking, baking or broiling food. Do not use
it as a dryer, kiln, dehumidifier, etc.
Due to the heat generated in the catalytic converter of the oven, any fumes
or vapors given off by glues, plastics or
other non-food items could ignite and
damage the oven and surrounding
cabinetry.
General notes
Never use a steam cleaner to
clean the oven. Pressurized steam
could cause a short circuit, or cause
permanent damage to the oven surface
and/or components. The manufacturer
cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by steam cleaning.
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.
Caution: 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.
Flammable liquids and/or materials
should never be stored in, above
or under an oven, or near cooking surfaces.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils or fats, they
can be a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.
Do not use water on grease fires!
Smother the fire with a dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher.
Wear proper clothing. Loose-fitting
or hanging garments should never
be worn while cooking.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the oven to heat the
room.
When using small kitchen
appliances near the oven, make
certain that the power cords do not
come in contact with or get caught in
the oven door.
Use only dry, heat resistant po-
tholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces may result in
steam burns. Do not let potholders
come in contact with oils. Do not substitute towels or other bulky items for
potholders.
Always make sure food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors affect the overall cooking time,
including the size and amount of food,
its temperature and the recipe. Some
foods may contain microorganisms that
are only destroyed by thorough cooking. If in doubt, select a longer cooking
or heating time.
Disposal of an old machine
Before discarding an old ap-
pliance, disconnect the power
cord and remove the door to prevent it
from becoming a hazard.
The manufacturer is not liable for
damage caused by non-compliance with safety instructions.
It is important that the heat be
allowed to spread evenly throughout the food. This can be achieved by
stirring or turning the food, or by setting
longer cooking times.

Description of the oven programs
Convection cooking D
Description of the oven programs
Conventional heating A
A fan mounted in the back wall of the
oven draws in air over the heater element and disperses the heated air
throughout the oven. Pre-heating the
oven is not necessary, since the
heated air instantly surrounds the food.
Exception: Pre-heat the oven when
roasting meat or baking bread made
with dark flour.
When using the convection setting, it is
possible to bake and roast on different
levels at the same time. This is possible
because the heated air is of a lower intensity than that used with "Conventional" heating programs.
When a temperature setting above
280°F/140°C is selected, the "rapid
heat" feature (which incorporates the
top heating element) is automatically
activated.
Auto Roast E
This setting combines "convection" with
"Auto Roast", which initially heats the
oven to a high temperature to seal the
meat, retaining moisture and tenderness.
In this setting, the heat is radiated
directly on the food from above and
below.
Below are several examples in which
pre-heating the oven would be necessary:
– baking cookies or cakes with a
short cooking time (up to approx.
30 minutes)
– baking some types of dough
– baking bread made with dark flour
– roasting meat
When a temperature setting above
300°F/150°C is selected, the "rapid
heat" feature (which incorporates the
appropriate heating element) is automatically activated.
Once the high temperature has been
reached, the cooking temperature is
automatically returned to the pre-selected setting.
When a temperature setting above
280°F/140°C is selected, the "rapid
heat" feature (which incorporates the
top heating element) is automatically
activated.
13
Description of the oven programs
Defrost G
Defrost can be operated with heat up
to 120°F/50°C, or without heat, using
ambient air circulated by the fan.
Intensive bake F
This setting combines "convection" with
heat from the lower heating element. It
is particularly useful for food preparation that requires a moist topping and
crisp base, such as pies, pizza and
quiche.
Fan broiling N
The hot air from the upper heating element is distributed over the food by the
fan. This enables a lower temperature
than conventional broiling to be used.
Broiling 1 m
Broiling 1 is used to prepare small
quantities of food. The inner part of the
upper heating element cycles on and
off to maintain a selected broiling temperature.
Broiling 2 n
Broiling 2 is used to prepare large
quantities of food. The entire upper
heating element cycles on and off to
maintain a selected broiling temperature.
14
Operation
Controls
Operation
The oven controls consist of the program selector and pushbuttons.
Program selector
The program selector can be turned
either clockwise or counter-clockwise
to a program.
Push buttons
The push buttons control:
– oven temperature settings
– core temperature settings

in two speeds: slowly, one digit at a
time (short pushes on the button); and
rapid advancement (holding the button
in).
In this way the following adjustments
can be made
– oven temperature in 10°F/5°C
increments
– core temperature in 2°F/1°C
increments
– timer in 1 minute increments.
Upon touching any of the buttons (p,e,
l) the indicator light between the "+"
and "–" buttons lights up.
While this light is on, times and temperatures can be entered or changed.
Pressing any of the buttons while the indicator light is lit will extend the time for
entering changes.

Entering the desired temperature
You can enter and save your own temperatures if you frequently work with
temperatures that differ from the preset
settings (except "Defrost").
To enter your own settings:
Use the program selector to choose
the program that is to be given a different temperature.
The preset temperature will appear in
the display.
Temperatures can now be changed
as long as the indicator light in the
"+/–" button is lit. Use the "+" or "–"
button respectively to enter the
desired temperatures.
To store the displayed temperature
in memory, press the "p" button until
the tone is heard.
Your temperature is now stored in memory, and will appear every time that program is selected.

Operation
Using the oven
Place food to be cooked in the oven.
Turn program selector to the desired
program.
The following will light up
– Oven temperature
– the indicator light for the "+/–" button.
The following procedure is needed only
if a desired temperature differs from
the preset temperature.
Press the "p" button.
Using the "+/–" button enter the
desired temperature.
The oven will start to heat up as soon as
the indicator light in the "+/–" button
goes out.
Heating is automatically interrupted if
the oven door is opened. The electronic system automatically switches off
the heating system whenever the door
contact switch opens. When "Convection" is being used, the fan is also
switched off.
The oven can be programmed to cook
at a future time; see "Programming
cooking time".
Pre-heating the oven
Pre-heating the oven is only necessary
in certain instances, such as:
– baking bread made with dark flour,
– roasting meat.
– for baking cookies and cakes with a
short cooking time, (up to approx.
30 minutes),
To pre-heat
Turn program selector to the desired
program.
Select the desired temperature, if
needed.
When the desired temperature has
been reached, place the food to be
roasted or baked into the oven.
Interrupting the process /
Turning off the oven
Turn the program selector to "0"
The oven will turn off, and all programs
will be cancelled.
Exceptions:
– If the roast probe remains inserted
into its receptacle, the "e" symbol
will remain lit.
– If a minute minder time has been
entered, the "l" symbol is lit and the
display shows the time counting
down.

Operation
Rapid heat
With the "Convection D", "Auto
Roast E" and "Conventional A",
"rapid heat" is switched on automatically if the temperature desired is:
– at least 280°F/140°C with "Fan
Heat D" and "Auto Roast E".
or
– at least 300°F/150°C with "Conven-
tional A".
The rotating "F" beside the required
temperature shows that "rapid heat" is
turned on.
During the rapid heat phase, the "Convection" and “Top” heating elements
simultaneously heat the oven.
As soon as the desired temperature
has been obtained, the additional heating element is automatically turned off,
and will remain off even if the temperature setting is increased.
Exception: If the temperature setting is
increased before the desired temperature is reached, "rapid heat" will remain
active.
To turn off "rapid heat"
For some dishes it may be desirable to
turn off "rapid heat" (cookies, small
cakes).
Select the program and temperature
for the cooking process.
As soon as the actual temperature appears in the display, "rapid heat" can
be turned off.
Press the "–" button and hold until
the "F" in the display stops rotating.
"Rapid heat" is now turned off for this
particular cooking process.
After the program selector has been
turned to "0" when finished cooking,
"Rapid heat" will be available for the
next use.
Additionally, three oven programs can
be programmed for use without the
“rapid heat” feature, (see "Adjusting
oven settings, additional feature 06").

Operation
Energy-save feature
If you are programming a cooking process using the timer or the roasting
probe, the residual heat of the oven is
automatically used to finish the cooking
process while conserving energy.
Shortly before the end of the cooking
process, the oven shuts off the heat.
The letters "EC" are displayed, indicating that the energy-saving feature is
operating.
Oven lighting
The oven light is lit whenever the oven
door is opened, and during programming. The light will go out when the door
is closed, or approx. 15 seconds after
a button has been pushed.
Any changes to oven lighting are programmable (see Additional features).
Night dimming
Between the hours of 22:00 and 6:00
the lighting in the clock / timer display
is dimmed automatically to give a slight
energy saving.
The cooling fan will continue to run in
the “EC” mode, as does the convection
fan if a "fan" function was chosen.
The residual heat in the oven is sufficient to complete the cooking process.
