Features
Electronic controls
In addition to operating the various
cooking programmes to bake, roast
and grill the electronic controls also of
-
fer the following features:
–
Clock display
–
Minute minder
–
Timer to automatically switch cooking
programmes on and off with auto
-
matic use made of residual heat
– Settings can be customised
– System lock, to prevent the appli-
ance being used unintentionally
– Safety cut-out
Cooling system
During use the cooling fan will automat-
ically come on when a specific temper-
ature is reached. 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 controls and door handle will get
slightly warm. They are quite safe to
touch.
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 in
the oven housing unit.
When the temperature in the oven has
fallen sufficiently the cooling fan will
switch off automatically.
Door contact switch
There is a door contact switch above
the right hand door hinge.
If the 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 cavity, e.g. when
checking food.
PerfectClean treated surfaces
The following surfaces are all treated
with PerfectClean enamelling:
– Oven interior
– Runners
– Baking tray
– Grill pan
– Wire rack
PerfectClean enamelled surfaces have
very good anti-stick properties and are
much easier to keep clean than con
-
ventional enamel if cleaned regularly.
See "Cleaning and care" for more infor
-
mation.
Catalytic liners
The back panel, roof liner and side lin
-
ers (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.
This makes it easier to clean inaccessi
-
ble areas of the oven.
See "Cleaning and care" for more infor
-
mation.
Description of the appliance

Catalyser
The catalyser is fitted into the oven's
ventilation system.
It filters fat from the escaping vapours
and thus reduces cooking smells.
The catalyser operates automatically for
all functions except "Defrost" and
"Lighting".
Energy efficiency rating
according to EN 50304
These appliances are rated energy effi-
ciency class C in accordance with EN
50304. Tests were carried out using the
"Fan" oven function with the catalyser
switched off.
Accessories
Most of the following accessories are
supplied with this oven.
These and other accessories are also
available to order from your Dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department. See
"Extra Accessories" further on in this
booklet for more details.
Baking tray, grill pan and rack
The baking tray, grill pan and rack are
fitted with non-tip safety notches which
prevent them being pulled right out
when they only need to be partially
pulled out.
When pushing the tray, pan and rack
back in, always ensure that the
safety notches are at the rear of the
oven. (See illustration)
The tray, pan and rack can then only be
taken out of the oven by raising them
upwards and then pulling out.
Description of the appliance
7
Roasting filter
The roasting filter must be fitted in front
of the fan when cooking anything fatty
or where food is likely to splatter, e.g.
when open roasting and grilling meat.
The droplets of fat caught up in the cir-
culating air are deposited on the roast-
ing filter. This helps to keep the oven
and the area behind the interior back
panel cleaner.
Do not use the roasting filter when
baking. This would increase the
times needed for baking and give
uneven browning results.
Rotisserie
See "Grilling with the rotisserie" for de-
tails.
Roast probe
The roast probe enables the roasting
process to be monitored simply and re
-
liably. See "Roasting with the Roast
probe" for details.
Description of the appliance
8
Slide opener
Use the slide opener for lifting off the
light cover.
Handle
To take the racks, baking trays or the
grill pan out of the oven, or to put them
into it. The two prongs at the top go in
-
side the rack, tray or pan and the
U-shaped supports underneath.
Anti-splash tray
The anti-splash tray should be placed
inside the deep sided grill pan 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.
Description of the appliance

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 materi
-
als away, please ensure they are of
-
fered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance

Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate, other
-
wise the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a competent person if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this appli
-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap
-
pliance and an effective earthing sys
-
tem, which complies with local and na
-
tional regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for

ated as a built-in appliance. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
Never open the casing of the appli-
ance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person in ac
-
cordance with national and local safety
regulations. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be danger
-
ous. The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for unauthorised work.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–
it is switched off at the wall socket
–
or the mains fuse is withdrawn
–
or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re
-
pair work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance, (e.g.
danger of overheating).
The oven is designed to be built
into a tall unit. If you wish to install
it in a base unit, the stainless steel rail
above the control panel must be re-
placed by a sealing strip. The sealing
strip offers additional protection from
any liquids that might spill down from
the worktop, and can be purchased
from the Miele Spare Parts dept.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assess
-
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Use
Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the oven.
Great care should be taken to en
-
sure that small children do not
touch the appliance when it is being
used. External parts of the oven such
as the door glass, handle vent and con
-
trol panel can become quite hot.
Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where an
oven is in use. They should never be al-
lowed to sit or stand on any part of the
oven or play with it.
Do not store items of interest to children
in cabinets above an oven. Children
climbing on the oven to reach these
items could be seriously injured.
Use of heat-resistant oven gloves
is recommended, when placing
food in the oven, turning or removing it.
When working with "Conventional" heat
-
ing or when grilling, the element in the
roof of the oven and the roof liner get
very hot, and there is a danger of being
burnt.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
When cleaning the roof of the oven
wait until the grill element has
cooled down before lowering it, to
avoid the danger of burning.
Do not use force to pull it down as
this can cause the element to
break.
Only use the Miele roast probe
(core temperature probe) supplied
with this appliance. If a replacement is
necessary it can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts dept or a Miele spe
-
cialist dealer.
After using do not remove the roast
probe until the oven interior is cool.
When not in use do not leave the
roast probe in the oven, especially
when grilling. High temperatures would
damage it.
Do not use plastic containers. They
melt at high temperatures and
could damage the oven.
Do not heat up unopened tins or
jars of food in the oven, as pres
-
sure can build up and they may ex
-
plode. This could result 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.
This could damage the appliance. Take
care in the region of the hinges. The
oven door can support a maximum load
of 12 kg.
Make sure that nothing gets
trapped between the door and the
oven.
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents
steam condensing and possibly lead
-
ing to moisture damage in the oven.
If food is left in the oven after cook-
ing, e.g. to take advantage of the
residual heat, turn the temperature se-
lector to the lowest setting. Leave the
function selector at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed.
Moisture in the oven could lead to con-
densation forming on the control panel
and surrounding kitchen furniture and
drops of moisture collecting under the
worktop.
Condensation can:
- damage the housing unit / worktop.
- lead to moisture damage in the oven.
It could also result in deposits remain
-
ing in the catalyser, causing an un
-
pleasant smell to arise the next time the
appliance is switched on.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Bake larger deep-frozen items
such as pizzas on baking paper on
the rack itself or in the pizza pan (see
"Extra accessories"). Placing them on
the baking tray or in the grill pan can
cause the metal to distort. This distor
-
tion would increase with subsequent
use.
Deep frozen foods such as oven chips
or potato croquettes can be cooked on
the baking tray or grill pan.
Never add water to food on a hot
baking tray or grill pan or directly
onto food in a hot oven. The steam cre
-
ated could cause serious burns or
scalding and the sudden change in
temperature can damage the enamel.
Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using Conven-
tional top and bottom heat A, Bottom
heat B or Intensive baking F. Do not
place a dish, tin, baking tray or grill pan
on the floor of the oven.
If using a grill pan made by a different
manufacturer make sure that there is a
gap of at least 6 cm between the bot
-
tom of the pan and the floor of the oven.
If these instructions are not observed
the bottom heat will be blocked. This
can cause permanent damage to the
floor of the oven.
Protective aluminium foil panels are
available in retail outlets which are
supposed to protect the oven cavity
from soiling and reduce the need for
cleaning. If used, cooking and baking
times will increase considerably.
They can also cause damage to the ap
-
pliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
General notes
Never leave the appliance unat
-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these are a fire hazard if allowed
to overheat.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, inflammable objects left near
the oven could catch fire.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
oven, ensure that the cable cannot get
trapped in a hot oven door, which could
melt the cable insulation and be dan-
gerous.
Danger of electric shock.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could at
-
tack the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
Always ensure that food is suffi
-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook
-
ing container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only de
-
stroyed by thorough cooking at temper
-
atures over 70°C for a minimum of 10
minutes. Therefore when cooking or re
-
heating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particu
-
larly 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 be-
ing cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed for
cooking, reheating or defrosting.
If using alcohol in your recipes
high temperatures can cause the
alcohol to vaporise and under adverse
circumstances the alcohol can catch
light on the hot heating elements. Alco
-
hol should be burnt off before the dish
is placed in the oven to avoid this dan
-
ger.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its sur
-
roundings in a clean condition at all
times.
Any damage which might be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before throwing an old appliance
away it must first be made unus
-
able. Switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply, cut off the cable di
-
rectly behind the appliance and render
any plug useless. This should be done
by a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held lia
-
ble for damage caused by non-com
-
pliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.

Before using for the first time
17
Switching on the catalyser
Your appliance has a catalyser built-in
to the ventilation system.
When switched on, the catalyser re
-
moves fat particles from the air circulat
-
ing in the oven and also reduces cook
-
ing smells.
The oven is delivered with the catalyser
switched off (standard factory setting).
To switch the catalyser on please follow
the instructions given in the section "Al
-
tering oven settings" (Standard setting
02) of your operating instructions.
Cleaning the appliance
Oven interior
Before use please remove
– any stickers from the floor of the
oven, baking trays, grill pan etc.
– any cork spacers at the sides
above the oven cavity.
^
Wipe out the oven interior using
warm water and a little washing up
liquid. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not close the oven door until the
oven interior is dry.
^
Rinse the accessories.
New appliances have a slight smell on
first use. Running the oven empty for at
least an hour at a high temperature will
dissipate this more quickly.
^
Turn the oven function selector to
"Fan Heat D".
While the indicator light for the "+/–"
button is still on, alter the oven temper
-
ature.
^ Select the highest temperature
(250 °C) with the "+" button.
The timer can also be used to set the
finish time.
Ensure the room is well ventilated
during this process.
Before using for the first time

Fan Heat D
This system works by the circulation of
heated air.
A fan situated on the back wall of the
oven sucks in the air, heats it over a
ring element and blows the heated air
through the carefully spaced openings
in the rear panel of the oven, enabling
approx. 20°C lower temperatures to be
used than with the Conventional heat
-
ing system.
The oven does not usually need to be
pre-heated as the heated air reaches
the food straight away.
Exception: Pre-heating may be neces-
sary for foods such as puff pastry and
yeast mixtures where instant heat is re-
quired to make them rise quickly.
Using the fan heating system you can
bake and roast on different levels at the
same time.
If a temperature of at least 140°C is se-
lected, the "rapid heat-up" feature is ac
-
tivated automatically.
The "Top Heat" heating element
switches in to heat the appliance up
more rapidly. This saves energy.
Food which browns quickly should not
be placed at the top of the oven when
rapid heat up is being used.
Auto Roast E
The oven heats initially to a high tem
-
perature which seals the meat to keep it
succulent and tasty.
As soon as the high temperature has
been reached, the oven temperature is
automatically returned to the prese
-
lected setting.
If a temperature of at least 140°C is se
-
lected, the "rapid heat-up" feature is ac
-
tivated automatically.
The "Top Heat" heating element
switches in to heat the appliance up
more rapidly. This saves energy.
Conventional heating A
With the conventional method of heat-
ing, radiant heat is directed on the food
from above and below. It is useful
where a fairly long cooking time is re-
quired and a deep colour and good
rise are needed.
It is usually necessary to pre-heat the
oven when using this method.
If a temperature of at least 150°C is se
-
lected, the "rapid heat-up" feature is ac
-
tivated automatically.
The fan and its heating element switch
in to heat the appliance up more rap
-
idly. This saves energy.
More practical advice about these
cooking functions is given in the
"Baking", "Roasting" and "Grilling"
sections of this book and in the
Miele cookbook supplied with this
oven.

Defrost G
Defrost can be operated without heat
-
ing, or at a temperature of up to 50°C.
When the defrost system is used with
-
out heating the air is circulated by the
fan at room temperature.
Intensive bake F
This method combines "Fan Heat" with
heat from the lower heating element,
and is particularly useful for dishes that
require a moist topping and crisp base
like pizza and quiche lorraine.
Fan grill N
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before grill-
ing.
The hot air from the grill is distributed
over the food by the fan on the rear wall
of the oven. This enables a lower tem-
perature to be selected than for con-
ventional grilling.
The grill element is thermostatically
controlled and at times during grilling
will not glow red. This is quite normal.
Grill 1 m
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before grill
-
ing.
The inner part of the upper heating ele
-
ment acts as the grill. This will glow red
for a few minutes after being switched
on, and it is then ready for use. Use the
Grill 1 setting for small quantities.
The grill element is thermostatically
controlled and at times during grilling
will not glow red. This is quite normal.
Grill 2 n
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before grill
-
ing.
This method is particularly good for
grilling large quantities of food using
the grill pan to its full extent.
The entire upper heating element acts
as the grill.
The inner part of the grill will glow red a
few minutes after being switched on.
The outer part of the grill will remain no-
ticeably darker, but will still produce the
heat necessary to grill.
The grill element is thermostatically
controlled and at times during grilling
will not glow red. This is quite normal.
More practical advice about these
cooking functions is given in the
"Baking", "Roasting" and "Grilling"
sections of this book and in the

then displayed.
The increase of temperature can be
followed in the display until the target
temperature is reached.
N.B. with Auto Roast E:
the oven heats initially to a high temper
-
ature (230 °C) to seal the meat to keep
it succulent and tasty.
As soon as this temperature has been
reached, the oven temperature auto-
matically drops back down to the
pre-selected setting.
The display, however, will only show the
temperature rise until the target or
pre-selected temperature is reached!
