IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

This appliance is intended for residential use only.

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.

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.

Be certain your appliance is

installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

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, 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 produce high

internal temperatures that can cause burns.

Prevent children from touching the

appliance when in use.

Use heat-resistant potholders 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 in their desired height while the oven is cool.

Open the door carefully to 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.

During the self cleaning function the

oven will become very warm. Prevent children form coming in contact with the oven.

Remove all accessories from the

oven before starting the self cleaning function. The high temperatures needed for this program will damage the accessories.

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.

Only clean parts listed in this

manual.

Caution: Heating elements may be

hot even if 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 the control panel can become hot.

Do not block any vent

openings.

Aluminum foil should not be used to

line the oven floor. To avoid damage, do not place pots, pans or baking sheets directly on the oven floor.

Do not let metal objects (aluminum

foil, 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 if you need to purchase a new probe.

To prevent damage, remove the

roast probe from the oven when it is not being used.

Do not heat unopened containers of

food in the oven, pressure may build up and cause them to explode.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

When baking frozen pizzas or pies,

place them on the rack lined with parchment paper. Do not use the baking tray or the roasting pan for frozen foods with a large surface area. The tray or pan could become warped and difficult to remove from the oven when hot. Frozen food like french fries, fish sticks, chicken fingers etc. can be baked on the baking tray.

General notes

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

the oven. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Do not use water on grease fires!

Smother the fire with a properly rated dry chemical or foam fire extinguisher.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging

garments while operating the cooktop, they present a fire hazard.

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.

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.

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 are a fire hazard if overheated.

Be careful when using alcoholic

beverages like rum, whiskey, wine etc. for baking or roasting. The alcohol evaporates at high temperatures but may in rare circumstances combust on the hot heating elements.
