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

This oven 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.

This oven is designed to bake,

roast, grill, cook, defrost, 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.

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.

Safety with children

This appliance is not a toy! To

prevent the risk of injury or damage, do not let children play with the appliance or its controls.

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

To avoid burns, young children should be kept away.

The oven door gets much hotter

during pyrolytic operation than during normal use. Make sure children cannot touch the oven whilst a pyrolytic programme is running. Danger of burning.

Warning and Safety instructions

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).

Before connecting the appliance,

make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. 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 warranty 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 warranty.

Correct use

Caution. Danger of burning. High temperatures are produced by the oven and the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside 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", "Economy Grill Z" and "Fan Grill \" functions. Excessively long grilling times can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire.

Do not use the "Grill Y", "Economy

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

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Do not line the floor of the oven with

aluminium foil when using "Conventional V"/"Bottom Heat X"/"Intensive Bake O"/"Rapid Heat-up S". This would cause a build-up 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.

Never add cold water to food on a

hot universal tray or 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.

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.

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

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.

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

Remove all accessories as well as

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

Ensure excess spillage is removed

from the oven interior before starting the pyrolytic cleaning process.

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 or machine

Electrical and electronic appliances / machines 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 or machine. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old machine or appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and 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. The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance or the machine to prevent misuse.

Features

Oven controls

In addition to operating the various cooking programmes to bake, roast and grill, the controls also offer the following:

a time of day display,

–

a minute minder,

–

a timer to automatically switch

–

cooking programmes on and off,

settings that can be customised.

–

Safety features

System lock

The system lock 0 prevents the oven from being used unintentionally by children, for example. See "System lock".

Safety switch-off

Safety switch-off is triggered

automatically if the oven is operated for an unusually long period of time. The period of time will depend on the particular oven function being used. The oven will switch off automatically and "Fault 55" will appear in the display. The oven can be used again immedi ately after switching it off and back on.

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.

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.

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.

Features

Pyrolytic cleaning

The oven interior can be kept clean by using the Pyrolytic function, see "Pyrolytic ^"

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.

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces are all treated with PerfectClean enamelling:

– Runners,

– Baking tray,

– Universal tray,

– Anti-splash insert and

– Rack

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.

Energy-saving features

Rapid heat-up function

To minimise the time it takes to heat up the oven interior, you can utilise the Rapid heat-up function.

However, pre-heating the oven is only required for select applications. Please refer to cooking instructions or separate User instructions (if available).

Time of day display

The time of day display can be switched off to save energy. When the oven is switched off, the display will not light up. The time of day will, however, continue to run unseen in the background (see "Settings %"). It will reappear in the display when the oven is next used.

Moisture Plus d

This function injects moisture during the cooking programme, giving excellent results when cooking various types of food, such as bread or meat.

See the separate "User instructions" booklet supplied in addition to the Operating and installation instructions for information on the Moisture Plus function and descaling the oven.

Features

Accessories

The following accessories are supplied with this oven.

These and other accessories are also available to order from Miele, your Chartered Agent or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com (depending on country).

Baking tray, 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.

Anti-splash insert

The anti-splash insert should be placed in the universal tray when grilling or roasting. The juices from the food being cooked collect under the anti-splash tray. This prevents them from spitting and making the oven dirty. The juices can then be used for making gravy and sauces.

Descaling tablets, plastic tube with clip

The trays and rack have non-tip safety notches in the middle which prevent them being pulled right out when they only need to be partially pulled out. The trays and rack can then only be taken out of the oven by raising them upwards and then pulling them out.

If you are using a tray with the rack on top, insert the tray between the rails of a shelf runner and the rack will sit on top of it.

These are required for descaling the appliance.
