IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be certain your appliance is
This appliance is intended for
residential use only.
properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician.
Only use the appliance for its
intended purpose. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for
damages caused by improper use
of this oven.
This appliance complies with current
safety requirements. Improper use of
the appliance can lead to personal
injury and material damage.
Read all instructions before installing
or using the oven for the first time.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future user.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this
appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damages caused by the
lack, or inadequacy of, an effective
grounding system or the failure to
adhere to national and local electrical
codes.
The oven is not to be operated until
it has been properly installed within
cabinetry.
Installation
Before installation, make sure that
the voltage and frequency listed on
the data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
Installation, maintenance and
repair work should be performed
by an authorized service technician.
Work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous and may void the warranty.
Before installation or service,
disconnect the power supply to the
work area by removing the fuse,
"tripping" the circuit breaker, or shutting
off the power main.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Oven use
WARNING: Ovens can produce
,
high temperatures that can cause
burns.
Prevent children from touching the
appliance when in use.
Use heat-resistant oven mitts when
placing items in the oven, turning
them, or removing them from the oven.
The upper heating element and oven
racks can become very hot and cause
burns.
To prevent burns, always place
oven racks at their desired height
while the oven is cool.
Always open the door carefully.
Allow hot air or steam to escape
before placing or removing food.
To prevent burns, allow the heating
element to cool before cleaning by
hand.
The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
The door gasket should only be
cleaned with a solution of warm water
and soap.
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.
Do not block any vent openings.
Do not let metal objects (aluminum
foil, metal pans) or the meat probe
come in contact with the heating
element.
Do not slide pots or pans on the
oven floor. This could scratch and
damage the surface.
Do not lean, sit, or place heavy
items on the open oven door.
Only use the Miele roast probe
supplied with the oven. Contact
Miele’s Technical Service Department if
you need to purchase a new probe.
To prevent damage, remove the
roast probe from the oven when it
is not being used.
Only clean parts listed in this
manual.
Do not heat unopened containers
of food in the oven, as pressure
may build up and cause them to
explode.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never add water to food on a hot
tray or pan or directly onto food in
a hot oven. The steam created could
cause serious burns or scalds.
This oven must only be used for
cooking. Do not use it as a dryer,
kiln, dehumidifier, etc. Fumes or vapors
given off by glues, plastics or
flammable liquids and materials could
be hazardous.
Never store flammable liquids and
materials in, above or under an
oven, or near cooking surfaces.
General notes
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the oven. Steam could
penetrate electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where an
oven is in use. Never allow children 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 injured.
Do not leave the oven unattended
when cooking with oils or fats, they
can be a fire hazard if overheated.
Do not use water on grease fires!
Smother the fire with a properly
rated dry chemical or foam fire
extinguisher.
Wear proper clothing. Loose-fitting
or hanging garments should never
be worn while using the oven.
Do not use the oven to heat the
room.
Make certain that the power cords
of small appliances do not come in
contact with or get caught in the oven
door.
Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. 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 cooked
thoroughly before eating.
It is recommended to cover all
cooked food that is left in the oven
to be kept warm. This will prevent
moisture from condensing on the
interior of the oven.
Disposal of an old oven
When discarding an old oven,
disconnect it from the power
supply and cut off the power cord.
Remove the door to prevent trapping
hazards.

Guide to the accessories
Wire rack
The racks have non-tip safety notches
which prevent them from being pulled
out completely while the oven is in use.
When inserting a rack, always check
that the safety notches are at the
rear of the oven.
The rack can only be removed by
raising it upwards and then pulling out.
Roasting pan
The roasting pan is ideal for catching
drippings from meat or poultry roasted
or broiled directly on the rack.
Slide the roasting pan onto the rail
below the wire rack. See illustration.
It can also be used as a baking tray.
The roasting pan is coated with
PerfectClean enamel and can be easily
cleaned with a sponge and dish soap.
Anti-splash tray
The anti-splash tray may be placed in
the roasting pan to reduce splattering
of drippings from meat or poultry.
The anti-splash tray is coated with
PerfectClean enamel and can be easily
cleaned with a sponge and dish soap.
10
Grease filter
The filter helps to keep the oven fan
clean from moisture and grease.
When roasting or broiling, insert the
grease filter in front of the fan opening.
Roast probe
The roast probe reliably monitors the
core temperature of meat and poultry
during a roasting function.
Guide to the accessories
The long pointed end of the probe is
inserted into the thickest portion of the
meat while the short end of the probe is
inserted into the roast probe socket.
Rotisserie
The rotisserie evenly broils and adds a
finishing touch to items such as stuffed
meat, poultry, and kebabs by gently
turning the skewers during the broiling
function.
The skewers are inserted into the
rotisserie motors in the back panel.
Slide opener
The slide opener is necessary for
removing the light cover when
changing a light bulb.
The flat end of the slide opener is
wedged beneath the light cover to pry it
off.
