Warning and Safety instructions

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 contents. Pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

This appliance is designed for

domestic use and for use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed & breakfasts.

The appliance is not suitable for

outdoor use.

The appliance is intended only to

cook, bake, roast, grill, defrost, bottle, dry fruit etc. Any other usage is at the owner's risk. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

This oven is not intended for use by

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

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Keep children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the risk of injury.

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. This is particularly important when the pyrolytic cleaning programme is running as the oven heats to a much higher temperature than normal. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent become quite hot. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. Danger of burning!

The cooking zones of the oven become very hot. Children could also burn themselves by pulling out cooking containers.

Technical safety

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict 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. Do not install and 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).

Warning and Safety instructions

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. Consult a competent, qualified electrician 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

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

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:

it is switched off at the mains fuse,

–

the screw-out fuse is removed (in

–

countries where this is applicable),

it is switched off at the wall socket

–

and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or 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 must not be installed

and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

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. Fire hazard!

Do not exceed the recommended

grilling times when using the Grill Y / Fan Grill \ functions. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire.

Do not use 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.

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. – damage to the control panel, worktop

and surrounding kitchen furniture.

Never cover the floor of the oven

with aluminium foil when using the oven on 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 a different

manufacturer, make sure that there is a gap of at least 6 cm between the bottom of the tray and the floor of the oven.

Warning and Safety instructions

Never add cold water to food on a

hot baking 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.

Only plastic containers which are

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

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 near the appliance could catch fire.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this oven. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this may invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability arising from damages caused by or linked to these items.

Remove all accessories as well as

the runners and any extra accessories such as Flexi-Clip runners from the oven interior before starting the pyrolytic cleaning process. The high temperatures needed for pyrolysis will damage the accessories.

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.

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 Chartered Agent 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 by a competent person.

Safety features

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.

If necessary, the oven door can be dismantled for cleaning.

See "Cleaning and care" for more information.

Door lock for pyrolytic operation

At the beginning of a pyrolytic cleaning programme the door will lock for safety reasons. The door lock will only be released after the temperature in the oven has dropped again below 280 °C.

Pyrolytic cleaning

The oven interior can be kept clean by using the Pyrolytic function ^.

During the pyrolytic process the oven is heated to approximately 400 °C. Any residual soiling is broken down and reduced to ash by the high temperatures.

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.

Vented oven door

The oven door is an open system and the door panes have a heat-reflecting coating. During operation, cool air is passed through the oven door to keep the outer pane cool.

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces have been treated with PerfectClean enamel:

–

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.

Retractable controls

The controls are retractable. Pressing the controls will release or retract them.

Features

When pushing the universal tray and rack back in, always ensure that the safety notches are at the rear of the oven.

Only retract the controls when at "0", otherwise they will be damaged.

Accessories

The following accessories are supplied with this oven.

These and other accessories are also available to order from Miele or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (depending on country). See "Optional accessories" for more information.

Universal tray and rack with anti-tip safety notches

The baking tray, universal tray and rack are inserted into the oven between the two rails of a shelf runner.

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

They can then only be taken out of the oven by raising them upwards and then pulling them out.

Grease filter

The grease filter must be fitted in front of the air inlet for the fan when using:

Fan Plus U for roasting on the rack

–

or cooking in uncovered containers.

– Fan Grill \.

Oil and fat circulated by the moving air is collected in the grease filter while the oven interior and the area behind the rear panel remain clean.

Do not fit the grease filter when baking as this will prolong the baking time.

Before using for the first time

Press and release the function

selector and the temperature selector.

Select "Fan Plus U".

Select the highest temperature.

Heat the empty oven for at least an

hour.

Before use, please remove – any stickers from the floor of the

oven, accessories.

– any cork spacers at the sides

above the oven cavity.

– any protective foil from the

oven front.

See "Cleaning and care" for more information.

Before using the oven for the first time

– take all accessories out of the oven

and wash them.

– then heat the oven up once with

nothing in it. New ovens can give off a slight smell on first use. Doing this will dissipate the smells before you use it to cook food.

Before heating it up, it is a good idea to wipe the oven out with a damp cloth first. This way any dust or bits of packaging that may have accumulated in the oven cavity during storage and unpacking will be removed.

Please ensure the room is well ventilated during this operation. Close doors to other rooms to prevent the smell spreading throughout the house.

^ Wait until the oven has cooled down.

^ Then wipe out the oven cavity with a

solution of hot water and a mild detergent and then dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Leave the oven door open until the oven interior is completely dry.

On models with a clock timer, you can set this procedure to finish automatically. See "Programming cooking durations".
