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 multisocket 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.
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.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
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 etc. if
a risk assessment of the installation has
been carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
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 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 Full grill,
Economy grill 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, Economy
~
grill or Fan grill to finish baking parcooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers
or herbs. Fire hazard.
Use Fan plus or Conventional heat
instead.
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 oven at the function
selected and select the lowest
temperature for that function. 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 inside the oven.
– damage to the control panel, worktop
and surrounding kitchen furniture.
Do not line the floor of the oven with
~
aluminium foil when using Conventional
heat, Bottom heat or Intensive bake.
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 pour cold water onto a hot
~
universal tray or add 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 microorganisms 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
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.
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.
Only use the Miele food probe
~
supplied with this oven.
If a replacement is necessary it can be
obtained from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or your Miele dealer.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.
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 should 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.
Disposing 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 dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for

cooking programmes to bake, roast
and grill, the controls also offer the
following:
a time of day display,
–
a minute minder,
–
a timer for programming cooking
–
durations,
user programmes,
–

–
Auto sensor
This sensor controls
– the cooking duration of the automatic
programmes. This will be indicated in
the display.
– the cooling fan run-on time.
– the duration of the pyrolytic cleaning
process.
Safety features
System lock
The system lock 0 prevents the oven
from being used unintentionally by
children, for example. See "Settings Safety".
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 oven
function selected.
Cooling fans
The cooling fans will come on
automatically when a cooking
programme is started. The cooling fans
mix 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 fans 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.
Vented oven door
The oven door is an open system and
some of the door panes have a heatreflecting 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.
In operation lock
The reaction time when the sensors are
touched can be extended in order, for
example, to prevent the appliance
being switched off unintentionally. See
"Settings – Safety".
Door lock for pyrolytic operation
For safety reasons the door locks as
soon as the pyrolytic cleaning
programme starts. After the pyrolytic
programme has finished, the door will
remain locked until the temperature in
the oven has dropped below 280°C.
13
Features
Energy saving features
Lighting
The oven lighting is set to switch off
15 seconds after the start of a cooking
programme (default setting). See
"Settings - Lighting".
Door contact switch
If the oven door is opened during
operation, the door contact switch
automatically switches off the heating
elements and the fan, if a "Fan" setting
is being used. This helps reduce the
amount of heat lost from the oven
interior, e.g. when basting roast meat.
At the same time, the oven lighting is
switched on.
Using residual heat
The oven heating switches off
automatically shortly before the end of a
cooking programme where the cooking
duration has been programmed or the
food probe is being used. The residual
heat in the oven is sufficient to complete
the cooking process.
"Energy save" will appear in the display.
The cooling fans continue to run, as
does the hot air fan if a "Fan" setting
has been chosen.
This time period depends on the
settings selected (cooking function,
temperature, cooking duration).
Either the time of day is displayed or
the display is dark: see "Settings - Time
- Display".

Features
Universal tray and rack with anti-tip
safety notches
The universal tray and rack are inserted
into the oven between the two rails of a
shelf runner.
Both 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.
They 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.
Anti-splash insert
When pushing the rack back in,
always ensure that the safety
notches are at the rear of the oven
(see illustration).
16
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.
Features
FlexiClip telescopic runners
The FlexiClip telescopic runners can be
clipped into any of the existing shelf
runners and pulled out of the oven to
their fullest extent.
Push the telescopic runners right in
before placing a tray or rack on
them.
To prevent the risk of a rack or tray
sliding off the runners, make sure that
they are sitting securely on their
runners in between the stoppers at
either end of each runner.
Fitting the FlexiClip telescopic runners
Make sure that the oven has cooled
down before moving the FlexiClip
runners.
Take care not to burn yourself on them.
The FlexiClip runners are fitted in between
the two rails that make up a shelf level.
