Description of the appliance

Features

Oven controls

In addition to operating the various cooking programmes to bake, roast and grill, the electronic controls on models with a clock/timer also offer the following features:

Clock display

Minute minder

Timer to automatically switch cooking programmes off, or on and off

Settings can be customised

Cooling system

As soon as the oven is switched on, a cooling fan is automatically engaged. 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.

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces are all treated with PerfectClean enamelling:

Oven interior

Runners

Baking tray

Grill pan

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 surfaces

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.

This makes it easier to keep inaccessible areas of the oven clean. See "Cleaning and care" for more information.

Retractable controls

Depending on model, the controls are retractable at the 0 position.

Press them to release or retract them.

Do not push them in from any other position as this would break them.

8

Description of the appliance

Oven interior lighting

The oven lighting is located either in the oven roof or in the right-hand side panel, depending on model.

Catalyser

Models H 4160 and H 4260 have a catalyser fitted into the oven’s ventilation system.

It filters fat from the escaping vapours and thus reduces cooking smells.

Energy efficiency rating according to EN 50304

These appliances are rated energy efficiency class A in accordance with EN 50304. Tests were carried out using:

Fan plus on ovens H 4120 to H 4250.

Gentle bake on ovens H 4160 and H 4260.

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 Miele Dealer or via the Internet (depending on country). 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 them out.

9

Description of the appliance

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 or grilling meat.

The droplets of fat caught up in the circulating air are deposited on the roasting 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.

Anti-splash tray

(depending on model)

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)

The handle makes it easier to take the baking tray, grill pan and rack out of the oven, or to put them into it.

The two prongs at the top go inside the pan, rack or tray and the U-shaped supports underneath.

Hob

For models with integrated hob controls a separate set of instructions is supplied with the hob, covering its installation and use.

The anti-splash tray should be placed in the deep-sided grill pan when grilling

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 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.

11

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, 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).

The appliance must be built in before operation to ensure that no

electrical components are accessible.

Never open the casing of the appliance.

Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Installation, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out

by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with national and local safety regulations.

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Miele

approved service technician in order avoid a hazard.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance

must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

the mains fuse is withdrawn,

or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable),

or it is switched off at the isolator.

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 appliance guarantee.

Use

Caution, danger of burning.

High temperatures are produced by the oven.

Great care should be taken to ensure that small 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, handle vent and control panel can become quite hot.

For cookers with a hob, remember that the cooking zones on the hob also get very hot. Turn pan handles inwards to prevent children from pulling pans over. Danger of burning or scalding.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an

oven is in use. They should never be allowed 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 to the oven to reach these could be seriously injured.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

Use oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or

removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.

When working with "Conventional" heating or when grilling, the element in the roof of the oven and the roof liner become very hot, and there is a danger of being burnt.

Do not use plastic containers. These melt at high temperatures

and could damage the oven.

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.

This could damage the appliance. The oven door can support a maximum load of 15 kg.

To prevent the risk of damage when closing the oven door, hold

the handle firmly and do not let go of it until it is shut. 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. 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, do not switch the appliance

off.

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. Moisture in the oven could lead to condensation 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 corrosion in the oven.

On models fitted with a catalyser, it could also result in deposits remaining in the catalyser, causing an unpleasant smell to arise the next time the appliance is switched on.

Bake larger frozen products, 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, and this distortion will increase with each subsequent use.

Frozen food such as oven chips or croquette potatoes can, however, be cooked on the baking tray or in the grill pan.

14

Warning and Safety instructions

Never add water to food on a hot baking tray or grill pan 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.

Never line the floor of the oven with aluminium foil when using

Conventional heat A, Gentle bake x or Rapid heat up Ä. 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 bottom 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 appliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).

General notes

Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oil

or 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, objects left near the oven could catch fire.

Always ensure that food is sufficiently 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 cooking container. 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.

15

Warning and Safety instructions

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. Danger of electric shock.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. The steam could

reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before throwing an old appliance away it must first be made

unusable. Switch off and disconnect it from the power supply. This should be done by a competent person. If connected to an isolator switch, disconnection should be carried out by an electrician to avoid the risk of accidents.

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

Cleaning and heating up for the first time

Before use, please remove

-any stickers from the floor of the oven, baking trays, grill pan etc.

-the protective cork discs from the sides of the oven.

-any protective foil from the oven front.

See "Cleaning and care" for more information.

Before using the oven for the first time

take all accessories out of the oven and wash them.

then heat the oven up once with nothing in it. New ovens have a slight smell on first use and this will dissipate the smells before you use it to cook any food.

^Before heating it up it is a good idea to wipe the oven out with a damp cloth first. This way any dust or bits of packaging that may have accumulated in the oven cavity during storage and unpacking will be removed.

^Press and release the function selector and the temperature selector.

^Turn the function selector to Rapid heat-up Ä.

^Use the temperature selector to set the highest temperature.

Heat the empty oven up for at least an hour.

Please ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated during this operation. Close doors to other rooms to prevent the smell spreading throughout the house.

On models with a clock/timer, you can set this procedure to finish automatically, see the appropriate section.

^Wait until the oven has cooled down to room temperature.

^Then wipe out the oven cavity with a solution of hot water and a mild detergent and then dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Leave the oven door open until the oven interior is completely dry.

Description of the oven systems

Fan plus Y

Conventional A

This system works by the circulation of heated air.

A fan situated on the back wall of the oven draws 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.

The oven does not usually need to be pre-heated as the heated air reaches the food straight away.

Exception: Pre-heating may be necessary for foods which cook in less than 20 minutes and for foods such as puff pastry and yeast mixtures where instant heat is required to make them rise quickly.

When using Fan plus, you can bake and roast on different levels at the same time.

Lower temperatures can be used than with Conventional heating, as the Fan plus system circulates the heated air throughout the oven.

Rapid heat-up Ä

With Rapid heat-up, the grill element, bottom heating element and fan all switch on at the same time so that the oven reaches the required temperature as quickly as possible. The temperature indicator light will go out when the pre-selected temperature has been reached. The function selector must then be turned to the function you wish to use for cooking.

With the conventional method of heating, radiant heat is directed onto the food from above and below. It is useful where a fairly long cooking time is required and a deep colour and good rise are needed.

It is usually necessary to pre-heat the oven when using this method.

Gentle bake x

With Gentle bake the grill and the bottom heating elements will be switched on.

It is suitable for bakes and gratins where a crispy finish is required.

Grill n

Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes with the oven door closed before grilling.

The grill is ready for use when it glows red a few minutes after being switched on.

Grill with the oven door closed.

Fan grill N

Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes with the oven door closed before grilling.

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 temperature to be selected than for conventional grilling.

Grill with the oven door closed.

Using the oven

Controls

The oven is operated with the function selector and the temperature selector.

Function selector

Use the function selector to select the required oven function.

The function selector can be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Do not attempt to turn it all the way round in either direction as this will damage the selector.

Light H/v

For switching on the oven light independently.

Depending on model, oven settings can also be changed when the function selector is at this position. See "Altering oven settings".

Conventional A

For long, slow baking or traditional recipes, e.g. fruit cake, casseroles.

Gentle bake x

For cooking dishes that require a crispy finish, e.g. bakes and gratins.

Grill n

For grilling fish and cuts of meat such as chops, steaks, and kebabs. Grill with the oven door closed.

Rapid heat-up Ä

For reducing the heating up time and for pre-heating the oven.

Also useful for cooking ready made meals.

Fan plus Y

For baking or cooking on several levels at the same time.

Fan grill N

For grilling thick cuts, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.

Grill with the oven door closed.

The temperature can be freely selected within the given range.

The temperature selector must only be turned in a clockwise direction as far as it will go and then back again. Do not attempt to turn it the wrong way, or all the way round, as this will damage the selector.

The temperature indicator light ywill come on as soon as a temperature is selected. It remains alight while the oven is heating up.

When the pre-selected temperature is reached, the heating element switches itself off. When the temperature falls below that selected, the heating

Using the oven

^Place the food in the oven.

^Turn the function selector to the required function.

The oven interior light comes on.

^Use the temperature selector to set the required temperature.

The oven starts to heat up and the cooling fan switches on.

^Take the food out of the oven when it is ready.

Turn the function selector and the temperature selector back to the "0" position.

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.

On models with a clock/timer, the oven can be set to switch off, or to switch on and off, automatically. See appropriate section.

Using the oven

Rapid heat-up

Rapid heat-up Ä can be used to:

pre-heat the oven,

heat up ready-meals.

Pre-heating the oven

Most dishes can be placed in a cold oven. They will then make use of the heat produced during the heating-up phase.

It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven in certain instances.

With Fan plus Y

Pre-heat the oven for foods which cook in less than 20 minutes and for foods such as puff pastries and yeast mixtures where instant heat is required to make them rise quickly.

With Conventional A heating

Pre-heat the oven where a fairly long cooking time is required and a deep colour and good rise are needed.

Do not use Rapid heat-up Ä to pre-heat the oven when baking delicate items such as pizzas, biscuits and small cakes. Otherwise they will get brown too quickly.

To pre-heat the oven:

^Select Rapid heat-up Ä.

^Use the temperature selector to set the required temperature.

The oven will start to heat up.

^When the temperature indicator light ygoes out for the first time, set the oven function you require for continued cooking or baking, and place the food in the oven.

Cooking ready-meals

Rapid heat-up Ä can be used on its own for cooking ready-meals such as pizzas, lasagne, garlic bread etc. See "Cooking ready meals".

When using Rapid heat-up to cook ready meals you do not need to change to another function during cooking.

Rapid heat-up Ä is not suitable for traditional baking or cooking.
