must be replaced by a Miele Service technician with a genuine Miele spare part.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect the appliance to electricity.

Do not open the casing of the oven.

Danger of electric shock!

Use

The appliance is intended for

domestic use only: defrosting, heating, cooking, baking, roasting and broiling of food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

Do not use corrosive chemicals or

vapors in this appliance.

Do not use the appliance to store or

dehydrate flammable materials. This is a fire hazard.

Do not use the oven to heat the

room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven could catch fire.

Prevent children from touching the

appliance when in use.

Times for cooking, heating and

defrosting food in the microwave are shorter than that of traditional food preparation methods. Extensive microwaving could dry out food and cause possible ignition. Fire hazard!

Do not use the microwave function

to dry bread, flowers, herbs, etc. Use the Convection Bake function.

Do not heat cushions filled with

herbs, gel, etc. with the microwave function. The cushions could ignite, even once removed from the oven after heating. This is a fire hazard.

Do not use full power when warming

empty dishes. The lack or minimal amount of food could cause damage to the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Supervise cooking with grease or

oils. Oils and grease could ignite.

Never heat undiluted alcohol in the

microwave oven, it can easily ignite.

If materials inside the oven ignite,

keep the oven door closed to avoid fueling any flames. Turn the oven off or disconnect the power supply.

Cover food stored in the oven

interior. Condensation from food and drinks could cause corrosion damage. It also prevents the food from drying out.

Spills or stains from food and liquids

containing salt should be immediately cleaned from the stainless steel interior. Corrosion may occur.

If smoke occurs in the oven, to avoid

fueling any flame, do not open the oven door. Switch the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button, switch off at the mains and remove the plug from the socket. Do not open the oven door until the smoke has dispersed.

Only use the Miele roast probe

supplied with this appliance. If a replacement is necessary it can be ordered from Miele or your Miele dealer.

When not in use do not leave the

roast probe in the oven, especially when broiling. The high temperatures used for broiling could cause plastic components on the roast probe to melt.

When using residual heat to keep

food warm leave the selected function on and select the lowest temperature. Do not turn the oven off. Condensation from food and drinks could cause damage at the machine or the countertop and cabinetry. Leaving the machine on will keep the fan running to aid in dissipating the condensation.

The glass tray and combi rack can

support a maximum weight of 17.5 lb (8 kg). These accessories may be damaged if over strained.

Do not lean, sit or place heavy items

on the open oven door. The machine may be damaged.

Never place the hot glass tray

directly on a cold surface, such as a tiled or granite countertop. The glass tray may crack.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

this appliance. The steam could penetrate live components and permanently damage the oven or cause injury.

Do not operate this appliance if it

has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or has been damaged or dropped.

Do not cover or block any opening

on the appliance.

This appliance must not be installed

or operated outdoors.

Do not use this appliance near

water, e.g. sink, wet basement, swimming pool, etc.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Microwave function

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to damage or tamper with the safety interlocks.

Do not place any object between the oven front and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

Items not suitable for use when

using the microwave function or any combination functions: metal,

aluminum foil, cutlery, dishware with metal decoration, crystal glass containing lead, bowls with a knurled rim, non-temperature safe dishware, wooden dishware, metal clips, wire twist ties, food containers with metal coverings or residues. Danger of machine damage and fire. The provided combi rack is specially designed for use in this oven.

Do not leave the appliance

unattended when heating food in disposable, e.g. plastic, paper or other flammable materials. See "Selecting cookware".

Do not use the oven to heat food in

heat retaining packaging, e.g. take-out food bags. This packaging contains a thin layer of aluminum foil which reflects the microwaves. This reflected energy can cause the paper layer to ignite.

The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

Do not operate the Microwave

empty! The oven will be damaged.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before serving food allow a

sufficient standing time. Always check the temperature of the food itself after taking it out of the microwave. Do not judge by the plate temperature. The heat is created in the food, the dishes may stay cool to the touch.

Always check the temperature

before serving heated baby food.

Use a food thermometer to measure

the foods temperature. Do not use thermometers containing mercury or liquids, they are not suitable for high temperatures and break easily.

Never cook or reheat food and

liquids in sealed containers or bottles. Remove the nipple or lid before heating in the microwave. Built-up pressure may cause them to burst. Danger of injuries.

The combi rack will get hot when

used in the microwave. Danger of burns.

When heating liquids, the provided

boiling wand should be placed into the container.

When heating liquids, milk, sauces, etc., in the oven without the boiling wand, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of bubbles. The liquid will not boil evenly. This "boiling delay" can cause a sudden build up of steam bubbles, when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of burning!

The built-up pressure may force the oven door open. This could result in injury or damage. The boiling wand ensures that the liquid boils evenly and that steam bubbles form at an early stage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Eggs must only be cooked in their

shells in the microwave oven in a specially designed egg-boiling device. Hard-boiled eggs should not be reheated in the microwave oven. The eggs may burst, even once they have been removed from the oven.

Eggs can be cooked without their

shells in the microwave oven only if the yolk membrane has been punctured first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode. Danger of injuries.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such

as tomatoes, sausages and potatoes should be pierced in several places before cooking to allow steam to vent and prevent the food from bursting.

Do not use dishware with hollow

handles or lid knobs. Moisture can get into the hollow parts. (The hollow parts of some dishware can be vented). Danger of built-up pressure and the explosion of the hollow parts may cause injuries.

Solo functions: Convection Bake, Auto Roast, Broil, Convection Broil

Caution! Danger of burns! When using solo functions the oven interior gets very hot.

Do not allow children to touch or

play in, on or near the oven when it is in operation. The oven gets hot at the oven door glass, the vapor vent, the handle and the operating controls. Danger of burns.

Use pot holders when working with

a hot appliance. Especially the upper heating element gets extremely hot when using the functions broil and convection broil. Danger of burning!

Allow the heating element to cool

before attempting to lower it to clean the oven. Danger of burns.

Do not use force to lower the upper

heating element. It may get damaged.
