Correct application
This drawer 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 drawer is not suitable for outdoor use.
The warming drawer must only be used as described in these
instructions. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer
and could be dangerous.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible
for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.
Safety with children
Young children must not be allowed to use the warming drawer.
Older children may use the appliance without supervision if its
operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to
use it safely. Children must be able to recognise and understand the
potential risks of improper use.
Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the drawer, and do not
let them play with it.
The warming drawer gets hot when in use and remains hot for
quite a while after being switched off. Keep children well away from
the drawer until it has cooled sufficiently so that there is no longer
any danger of burning.

Danger of suffocation!
Whilst playing, children may become entangled in packaging
material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the
risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.
Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Do not lift or carry the Upright Cooker by the oven door handle or
control panel.
A damaged drawer can be dangerous. Always check for visible
signs of damage. Never use a damaged appliance.
Reliable and safe operation of the Upright Cooker can only be
guaranteed if it is connected to the mains electricity supply.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is essential that this basic safety requirement is present
and tested regularly. If in doubt, consult a suitably qualified
electrician.
Before connecting the Upright Cooker to the mains supply, ensure
that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
match the mains electricity supply.
Compare this data before connecting the appliance to the mains. If
in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be
replaced by a Miele approved service technician in order to avoid a
hazard.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use these to
connect the Upright Cooker to the mains electricity supply.
This Upright Cooker must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions
9
Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the Upright Cooker will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the Upright Cooker housing under any circumstances.
While the Upright Cooker is under warranty, repairs should only
be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise
the warranty is invalidated.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
The connection to the gas supply must be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with current
local and national safety regulations. If the plug is removed from the
connection cable or if the cable is supplied without a plug, the
Upright Cooker must be connected to the electricity supply by a
suitably qualified electrician.
During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven
lighting is faulty, the Upright Cooker must be completely
disconnected from the household electricity supply (see “Problem
solving guide”). The gas inlet valve must be closed. To ensure this:
– Switch off the mains circuit breaker, or
– Remove the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is applicable),
or
– Switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug. Do not pull
on the cable, but pull the plug to do this.
– Close the gas inlet valve.
If the Upright Cooker is to be built in behind a furniture front (e.g. a
door) do not close the door while the Upright Cooker is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind the closed door. This can result in
damage to the Upright Cooker, surrounding cupboards and the floor.
Leave the furniture door open until the Upright Cooker has cooled
down completely.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
Correct use
You could burn yourself on a hot drawer or on hot crockery.
Protect your hands with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when
working with the hot appliance. Do not let them get wet or damp, as
this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with
the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
Fire hazard!
Do not store any plastic containers or combustible objects in the
warming drawer. They can melt or catch fire when the appliance is
switched on.
Due to the high temperatures radiated by the drawer, nearby
combustible objects can catch fire while the appliance is in use. Do
not use the warming drawer to heat the room.
Never replace the anti-slip mat supplied with the appliance with
paper kitchen towels or similar.
The telescopic runners can support a maximum load of 25kg.
Overloading or leaning or sitting on the drawer will damage the
telescopic runners.
The underside of the drawer gets hot when switched on. Be
careful not to touch it when the drawer is open.
The anti-slip mat is heat-resistant up to 200°C.
It is possible for the bottom of cookware to exceed this temperature,
especially after it has been used to sear food. Allow the cookware to
cool down for a minute or two before placing it in the drawer.
Items made of plastic or aluminium foil will melt at high
temperatures. When keeping food warm, use only heat-resistant
containers made of porcelain, glass, etc.
