Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance is not intended for
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.

~

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 shown how to use it correctly 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.

6

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 guarantee will be
invalidated.

7

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.

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 "Full
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 "Full grill Y",

~

"Economy grill Z" or "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.

In countries where there are 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.

8

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.

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.

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.

9

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

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

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.

10

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 by a
competent person.

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

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

-

Cooling system

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.

13

Features

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces are all treated
with PerfectClean enamelling:

Oven interior,

–

Runners,

–

Baking tray,

–

Universal tray,

–

Anti-splash insert (if present) 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.

Catalytic enamelled surface

The back panel, roof liner and side
liners (if fitted) are 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.

Energy saving features

Time of day display

The clock 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.

Energy efficiency rating
according to EN 50304

This appliance is rated energy
efficiency class A in accordance with
EN 50304.
Tests were carried out using "Fan
plus U".

Accessories

The following accessories are supplied
with this oven.

These and other accessories are also
available to order from the Miele Spare
Parts Department, your Dealer or via
the internet on www.miele-shop.com.

14

Features

Baking tray, universal tray and rack

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

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.

Anti-splash insert (depending on
model)

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.

Handle (depending on model)

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.

The handle makes it easier to take the
universal tray, baking tray and rack out
of the oven, or to put them into it. The
two prongs at the top go inside the tray
or above the rack, and the U-shaped
supports underneath.
