Warning and Safety instructions

This oven is not intended for use by This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

The appliance is intended for

domestic use to cook food, and in particular to bake, roast, grill, cook, defrost and dry fruit. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety.

Safety with children

Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Older children may only use the

oven when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

Great care should be taken to

ensure that children do not touch the appliance when it is being used. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent become quite hot.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Before installation, check the

appliance for visible signs of damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance could be dangerous.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Before connecting the oven to the

mains supply, make sure the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the on-site supply. Consult a competent person if in doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used when it has been built in.

Never open the housing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

the mains fuse is disconnected,

–

the screw-out fuse is removed (in

–

countries where this is applicable),

it is switched off at the isolator.

–

Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to avoid a hazard.

This appliance may only be used in

mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

In areas 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 may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Correct use

Caution. Danger of burning. High temperatures are produced by the oven.

Use oven gloves when placing food

in the oven, turning or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Be very careful that you do not burn yourself on the top heating / grill element.

Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil or fats, as these are a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.

Do not exceed the recommended

grilling times when using the "Grill Y"/ "Fan Grill \" functions. Grilling for too long can cause food to dry out and even in some circumstances to self-ignite. Fire hazard.

Do not use the "Grill Y" / "Fan

Grill \" to finish baking par-cooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Fire hazard! Use "Fan Plus U" or "Conventional V" instead.

If using alcohol in your recipes, high

temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on the hot heating elements. Alcohol should be burnt off before the dish is placed in the oven to avoid this danger.

Warning and Safety instructions

Cover any food which is left in the

oven to be kept hot. Any moisture in the food could lead to corrosion damage in the oven. This also prevents the food from drying out.

If you wish to complete a cooking

process using the residual heat in the oven, leave the function selector at the position set and turn the temperature selector to the lowest setting. Do not switch the appliance off until the food has been removed. Increased moisture in the oven could cause condensation to form, which could lead to corrosion in the oven compartment and damage to the control panel, worktop and surrounding kitchen furniture.

Never line the floor of the oven with

aluminium foil when using "Conventional V" / "Intensive Bake O" / "Gentle Bake K" / "Rapid Heat-up S". This would cause concentrations of heat which could cause damage to the floor of the oven. For this reason do not place a dish, tin, or baking tray directly on the oven floor. If using a tray made by 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.

Never add water to food on a hot

universal 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.

Always ensure that food is suitably

cooked or reheated. 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 during cooking.

If using plastic containers for

cooking, they must be declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an oven. Other types of plastic containers melt at high temperatures, and could damage the oven.

Do not heat up unopened tins or jars

of food in the oven. Pressure can build up and they may explode, resulting in injury or damage.

Do not push pots and pans around

on the oven floor, as this could damage the surface.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not lean or sit on an open oven

door, or place heavy items on it. Make sure that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment. This could damage the oven. The oven door can support a maximum load of 15 kg.

Do not use the appliance to heat up

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

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply be a competent person.

Guide to the appliance

Features

Oven controls

The oven controls are used for selecting the various cooking programmes for baking, roasting and grilling.

Appliances with a clock-timer also feature the following:

a time of day display,

–

a minute minder,

–

an automatic switch-off procedure for

–

cooking processes.

Cooling fan

A cooling fan will come on automatically when a cooking programme is started. The cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven cavity with cool room air before venting it out into the kitchen through vents located between the appliance door and the control panel.

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces are all treated with PerfectClean enamelling:

the oven compartment and

–

the universal tray

–

PerfectClean enamelled surfaces have very good anti-stick properties and are much easier to keep clean than conventional enamel, if cleaned regularly.

See "Cleaning and care" for more information.

Catalytic enamelled surfaces

The back panel is coated with dark grey catalytic enamel. Soiling from oil and fat is burnt off these surfaces when very high temperatures are used in the oven.

See "Cleaning and care" for more information.

The cooling fan will continue to run for a while after the oven has been switched off to prevent any humidity building up in the oven, on the control panel or on the oven housing unit. When the temperature in the oven has fallen sufficiently, the cooling fan will switch off automatically.

Guide to the appliance

Retractable controls

The controls are retractable at the 0 position. To release or retract a control simply press and release it.

The control must be at the zero or the 12 o'clock position in order to release or retract it. If it is not you will damage it!

Energy efficiency rating according to EN 50304

These appliances are rated energy efficiency class A in accordance with EN 50304. Tests were carried out using Fan Plus.

Accessories

The following accessories are supplied with this oven.

These and other accessories are also available to order from the Miele Customer Contact Centre or your Miele Chartered Agent. See "Extra accessories" further on in this booklet for more details.

Universal tray and rack

The universal tray and rack have non-tip safety notches which prevent them being pulled right out when they only need to be partially pulled out.
