necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.

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

Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that

The electrical safety of this ap­pliance can only be guaranteed

This appliance must only be oper­ated as a built-in appliance. This is

Never open the casing of the ap­pliance.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

Installation work and repairs may

only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to en­sure safety. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dan­gerous. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for unauthorised work.

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– or the mains fuse is withdrawn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)
Do not pull on the cable to remove
the plug from the socket.
Ensure that current is not restored to
the appliance while maintenance or
repair 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 re­placed 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.

Use

Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the oven and the hob cooking areas.

Great care should be taken to en-

sure that small children do not
touch the appliance when it is being
used. The hob and also external parts
of the oven such as the door glass,
handle vent and other vents and con­trol panel can become quite hot. Turn
pan handles away from the edge to pre­vent children from pulling pans over.

When a guard plate is fitted for the top
element, the over door pane will be
slightly less hot as a result.
Fitting a guard plate (available from the
Spare Parts Department) is recom­mended where there are children in the
household.

Oven

Use of heat-resistant oven gloves

is recommended when placing
food in the oven, turning or removing it.

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

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Wait until the grill element has

cooled down before lowering it for
cleaning, to avoid the danger of burn­ing.

Do not use force to pull it down as

this can cause the element to
break.

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, as press­ure will build up and they can explode.
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 the 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 10 kg.

If food is left in the oven after cook-

ing, e.g. to take advantage of the
residual heat, turn the temperature se­lector to “0°C”. Leave the function se­lector at the position set.

Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed. Otherwise
there may be a build-up of condensa­tion which could adversely affect the
oven interior, and externally the control
panel, the worktop surface or surround­ing kitchen furniture.

Put any deep frozen products such

as pizza on baking paper on the
rack. Do not place them on the baking
tray or grill pan. This could cause the
metal to distort to such an extent that it
might be difficult to remove the
tray/pan from the oven. The distortion
would increase with subsequent use.

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 lead­ing to moisture damage in the oven.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Ceramic hobs

When switched on the cooking

areas heat up. A residual heat indi­cator shows whether a cooking zone is
hot.

In the event of any breakages or

cracks occurring in the ceramic
hob it must be switched off immediately
and disconnected from the electricity
supply.
Contact the Service Department.
Do not use the hob until the damaged
ceramic plate has been replaced.
Continued use would be dangerous as
liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate
to the electrical components through
any crack.

Do not use the hob as a resting

place for any other objects. This
could lead to a danger of the article
catching fire or melting if there is any re­sidual heat or the hob is switched on in­advertently.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

containers. These melt at high tem­peratures. Additionally, they could dam­age a ceramic hob as they melt.

Do not allow either solid or liquid

sugar or pieces of plastic or alu­mium foil to get on to the cooking
zones when they are hot. If this is
allowed to cool before the hob has
been cleaned, the ceramic surface will
be susceptible to pitting or even crack­ing.
Switch the cooking zones off and while
the hob is still warm, scrape all the
sugar, plastic or aluminium remains
from the hob with a shielded blade
scraper taking care not to burn yourself.

Do not drop anything on the ce-

ramic hob.
Even a light object such as an egg
cup, could cause damage in certain cir­cumstances.

Do not use any pots or pans on the

ceramic hob with bases with pro­nounced edges or ridges, or which are
poorly enamelled.
These could scratch or scour the hob
surface permanently.

There is a seal between the hob

frame and worktop and between
the frame and the ceramic plate. Do
not use any sharp pointed object, such
as a knife, to clean these seals as they
could become damaged.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

Hobs with enclosed hotplates

When switched on the cooking
areas become hot.

Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-

taining salt to spill onto a stainless
steel hob or trim. Should this happen
wipe up any spillages containing salt
immediately, to avoid corrosion.

Do not use covers on the enclosed

hotplates. Turning on the hotplate
with the cover still in place could dam­age the hotplate. Putting a cover on a
damp hotplate could lead to damage
of the hotplate. Condensation trapped
under the cover could cause corrosion.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

containers. These melt at high tem­peratures. Additionally they could dam­age the hob as they melt.

General notes

Do not leave the appliance unat-

tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be 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 or hob could catch fire.

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 cook­ing container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only de­stroyed by thorough cooking. 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, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed
for cooking, reheating or defrosting.

14

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 and be
dangerous.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaner to clean this ap­pliance. Pressurised steam could give
rise to a short circuit.

Using alcohol in your recipes:

Often alcoholic drinks such as
rum, cognac, wine, etc are used when
preparing dishes and oven-cooking
them.
The high temperatures can cause the
alcohol to separate out.
Please take note that under adverse cir­cumstances the alcohol can catch light
on the hot heating elements.

In countries 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.

Disposal of your old machine

Before discarding an old machine

switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply. This should be done
by a competent person. Cut off and ren­der any plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
machine to prevent misuse.

The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non­compliance with safety instructions.

Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Ceramic hob

Thoroughly clean the ceramic hob be­fore first use, then clean regularly after
use when just warm to the touch, or
cold. (see the section on "Cleaning and
care").

On first use the hob may give off a
slight smell as moisture in the insulation
evaporates.

Enclosed hotplates

For the first few times of using a smell
will occur.

Heat the hotplates for about 5
minutes at the highest setting.
Do not place a pan on them.

The protective coating which prevents
the build-up of rust will smoke slightly
as it hardens.

Cooking zones

The cooking zones are clearly marked
on the hob. Only the zone that is
switched on heats up. The surround
remains relatively cool.

Turn the control in a clockwise direc­tion until a resistance is felt. Other­wise the control can be damaged.

Turn the control in a clockwise direc­tion only to the symbol "n".

Then select the setting required.

Residual heat indicator

There is a display field with a residual
heat indicator for each zone.
Once the zone is switched on, the indi­cator light comes on when a certain
temperature is reached.

After switching off, the residual heat in­dicator light stays on as long as the
cooking zone remains hot.

Do not touch these cooking zones

on them. Danger of burning.

Extended area

Only applicable to zones with this func­tion.

The relvant cooking zone control is also
used to switch on the extended area.

Turning the zone control back to "0"
switches off:

– the cooking zone, and
– the extended area.

Enclosed hotplates

On hobs with enclosed hotplates, there
are two different sizes and perfor­mance levels of hotplate.

Hobs - use

Hob controls

The controls for the cooking zones / hot­plates regulate the heat output.

Only turn the controls in a clockwise
direction until a resistance is felt,
and back again.
Turning them in the other direction
will damage them.

When a control is turned to a setting,
the hob indicator light comes on. It
goes out when all hob zone controls
are turned off.

Using the hob

Choose a high setting number for
boiling/frying.

Switch to a lower setting to continue
cooking, when steam is visible at the
rim of the lid.

Switching to a lower setting at the right
time:

– avoids pans boiling over,
– food sticking,
– and saves electricity.

Choice of suitable pans

Attention to correct choice and use of
pans
– will help you obtain the best cooking

result most economically,

– and generally avoid food boiling

over and sticking.

Pan bases

For maximum economy of electricity
when cooking or frying, only use pans
with a flat or very slightly concave
base. When hot the pan will rest evenly
on the hob. Modern saucepans for elec­tric cookers are the most suitable and
efficient for use on ceramic cooking
zones, or solid hotplates.

Size of pan

The diameter of the saucepan or frying
pan should be very slightly larger than
that of the hotplate/cooking area.

Pan lids

Cooking with the lid on the pan retains
the heat.

20

Hobs - use

Notes on the use on hobs

(both ceramic and enclosed hot­plates)

Before switching on, place a saucepan
containing water or food to be cooked
on the hotplate or cooking area. This
prevents unnecessary use of energy or
the hotplates warping or burning them­selves out.

Before starting to cook, make sure that
the hotplates or cooking areas and the
base of saucepan are clean and dry.
This saves extra cleaning later on.

Additional notes for ceramic hobs

Take care before starting to cook
that there is no grit or sand on the
surface of the hob.

This would scratch the surface, espe­cially if a pan was pushed across.

Aluminium or stainless steel pans
with aluminium bases can leave
marks with a metallic sheen on the
ceramic surface. Clean these away
at the earliest opportunity, (see Sec­tion on Cleaning and Care).

Never leave boiled-over sugar or sy­rups, plastic items or aluminium foil
on the hob. If this does happen,
switch the cooking zones off and
while the hob is still warm scrape
the sugar, plastic and aluminium re­mians from the hob with a shielded
scraper blade, taking care not to
burn yourself.

If these residues are allowed to cool be­fore the hob surface has been cleaned,
the ceramic surface will be susceptible
to pitting or even cracking.

Do not use any pots or pans where
the base has ridges, a pronounced
edge or is poorly enamelled.

These could also cause scratches.

Do not push roasting tins or baking
trays etc across the ceramic sur­face. Scratches could occur.

Additional notes for enclosed hot­plates

Do not lay anything wet or damp
across the hotplates.

If this does however happen, wipe the
hotplate clean and switch on briefly to
dry. This is necessary to avoid corro­sion.

Description of the oven systems

Description of the oven systems

Fan Heat D

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-heat the oven when
roasting meat or baking bread made
with dark flour.

Using the fan heating system you can
bake and roast on different levels at the
same time.

The heated air used by this system is
of a lower temperature than that used
with the Conventional heating system.

Conventional heating A

With this conventional method of heat­ing, radiant heat is directed on the food
from above and below.

Pre-heating the oven is only necessary
when
– baking biscuits or cakes with a

short cooking time (up to approx.
30 minutes).

– baking some types of doughs.
– baking bread made with dark flour.
– roasting a joint of meat.

Defrost G

No heating is used.
At this setting air at room temperature

is circulated by the fan, for gentle de­frosting.

Grill ,

The inner part of the upper heating ele­ment acts as the grill. This will glow red
a few minutes after switching it on and
is then ready for use.

22

Pre-heat the grill for 5 minutes with the
oven door closed, before placing the
food on the rack.

Accessories

Accessories

Baking tray, roasting / grill pan
and rack

The baking tray, roasting / 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).

Roasting (grease) filter

When roasting on the rack, in an open
pot or using "Fan heat D" make sure
that you fit the roasting filter in front of
the fan opening.

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.

The tray, pan and rack can then only
be taken out of the oven by raising
them upwards and then pulling out.

26

Accessories

Handle

(depending on model)

To take the baking trays or the roast­ing / grill pan out of the oven, or to put
them into it.

Anti-splash tray

(depending on model)

To be placed in the grill pan when
grilling.

The juices from the food being grilled
are gathered under the anti-splash tray,
rather than being dried out, and they
can then be used in sauces etc.

Baking

Baking

The following settings are recom­mended for baking:

– Fan Heat D
– Conventional A

Fan Heat D

Several levels can be used at the same
time for baking. The recommended po­sitions are:

Baking tins and dishes

For the best baking results make sure
that you chose baking tins or dishes of
a material suitable for the particular
heating system.

– "Fan Heat D"

Most types of heat-resistant tins or
dishes are suitable, including thin­walled and bright, non-reflective met­al moulds.

– "Conventional A"

The following baking tins give an
evenly browned result:
Dark metal or enamel tins with a matt
finish are preferable. Heat resistant
glass or thermoplastic trays dishes
can be used.
Avoid thin-walled and bright, non-re­flective metal moulds. These will give
uneven browning results.

1 tray = 1st runner from the bottom
2 trays = 1st and 3rd runners from

the bottom

3 trays = 1st, 2nd and 5th runners

from the bottom

When baking moist biscuits, cakes
or bread, do not bake on more than
two levels.

Remember to remove the roasting
(grease) filter from in front of the fan
opening. Otherwise the baking time
will be longer.

With the "Fan Heat D" setting lower
baking temperatures are needed than
with the "Conventional A" setting. See
the baking charts.

Conventional A

Avoid thin-walled and bright, non-re­flective metal moulds. These will
give uneven browning results.

32

Pre-heat the oven only for:
– cakes / biscuits with a very short bak-

ing time, (up to approx. 30 minutes),

– victoria sponge and similar mixtures.
– bread made with dark flour.

Use Shelf position 1 or 2 .

Baking

General notes

Place oblong tins in the oven as shown
in the illustration.

Deep-frozen products such as pizzas
should be placed on baking paper on
the rack.

Use the deeper roasting tray for moist
fruit cakes and multi-layer cakes, to
minimize splashes in the oven.

The Baking Chart gives sugges­tions for temperature, runner height
and timing.

For even browning ­– in general select the middle tem-

perature.

Increasing the temperature and reduc-

ing the time can have an adverse ef-

fect on even browning.
– Select the runner height according

to the recipe and the setting chosen.
– Just before the end of baking time

test to see if the cake is done.

Insert a metal or wooden skewer into

the centre.

If it comes out clean, without dough

or crumbs sticking to it, the cake is

ready.

Roasting

Roasting

We recommend the following settings
for roasting in the oven:

– Fan Heat D
– Conventional A

Fan Heat D:
When roasting on the rack or in an
open dish, make sure the grease fil­ter is fitted in front of the fan in the
back of the oven interior before
starting.

We recommend roasting in a covered
pot L:

– This ensures that sufficient stock re-

mains for making gravy.

– The oven stays cleaner, too.

Place the covered pot on the rack.
The meat should be put into a cold

oven.
Exception: Pre-heat the oven to the tem­perature recommended in the recipe
when cooking roast beef or beef fillet.

Use shelf position 1 for roasting.
Exception: Use shelf position 2 when
roasting poultry weighing up to 1 kg, a
cut of meat, or fish.

The "Fan Heat D" system uses an ap­proximately 40°C lower roasting tem-
perature than the "Conventional" heat­ing system.

The bigger the quantity to be roasted,
the lower the temperature.
When roasting more than 3 kg select a
temperature about 10°C lower than the
one given in the "Roasting" chart.
The roasting process will take a bit
longer, but the meat will be cooked
evenly and the exterior will become
crisp.

Roasting pots with a lid, made from
earthenware, cast iron, ovenproof china
or glass, and roasting foil are suitable.

Make sure that the pot and lid have
heat-resistant handles.

36

For roasting directly on the rack K
the temperature needs to be about
20°C lower than for roasting in a
covered pot L.

The Roasting time will depend on the
type of meat, the size and thickness of
the cut.

Roasting

Calculating roasting time:

The traditional British method is to allow
15 to 20 minutes to the lb, according to
type of meat, plus approx. 20 minutes,
adjusting length of time as roasting pro­ceeds, to obtain the required result.

Alternatively, multiply
the height of the joint by
the time per cm for the type of meat,
(see the roasting chart).

Type of meat time per cm

height of meat

Beef / Venison
Pork / Veal / Lamb
Roast beef / Fillet

Example:
Beef roast, 8 cm high
8 x 15 mins. per cm = 120 mins. roast­ing time

15-18 mins.
12-15 mins.

8-10 mins.

Please note:

Do not select a roasting temperature
which is higher than that recom­mended.The meat will become brown,
but will not be cooked properly.

Useful hints

Roasting in a covered pot L

Season the meat and place in the pot.
Add some knobs of butter or margarine
or a little oil or cooking fat. Add about
1/8 litre of water when roasting a big
lean joint of meat (2-3 kg) or roasting
poultry with a high fat content.

Roasting on the rack K

Place a little water in the tray. Add a
little fat or oil to very lean meat or place
a few strips of bacon on the top. Do not
add too much liquid to the tray during
cooking as this will hinder the browning
process.

Roasting poultry

For a crisp finish, baste the poultry ten
minutes before the end of cooking time
with slightly salted water.

Roasting deep frozen meat

Deep frozen meat should be defrosted
beforehand.

Browning only occurs towards the end
of the roasting time. Remove the lid
about halfway through the roasting time
if a more intensive browning effect is
desired.

After the roasting process is finished
take the roast out of the oven, wrap in
aluminium foil and leave to stand for
about 10 minutes.
This helps retain juices when the meat
is carved.

Defrosting

Turn the oven function selector to
"Defrost G".

Do not select any temperature set­ting.

– Where possible remove the packa-

ging and put the food to be de­frosted on a baking tray or into a
dish.

– All meat and poultry should be fully

defrosted before cooking. Do not
use the liquids from defrosting.

– When defrosting poultry put it on the

rack, one level higher than a tray put
in to catch the defrosted liquid, so
that the meat is not lying in this liquid.

It is particularly important to ob­serve food hygiene rules when de­frosting poultry. Do not use the liq­uid from the defrosted poultry. Pour
it away, and wash the tray, the sink
and your hands.

Defrosting

Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.

The time needed for defrosting de­pends on the type and weight of the
food, and at what temperature it was
deep frozen.

N.B. Put the tray back in the oven if
roasting on the rack.

– Fish does not need to be fully de-

frosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently soft to
take herbs and seasoning.

39

Casseroles

Casseroles

When choosing which oven level to
use, take into account the size of the
casserole dish with its lid.

Casseroles

The following oven settings are recom­mended:

Please note:

Cover dishes which are to be cooked

in their own juice and/or steam, eg du­chesse potatoes or vegetables, so that
they do not dry out. If there is no lid use
aluminium foil or damp cooking parch­ment.

– Fan Heat D
– Conventional A

The following dishes are suitable for
this type of slower cooking:
covered pots made of ovenproof glass
and china, and earthenware pots,
which could also be used as serving
dishes. They should have heat-resistant
handles and knobs.

Put the rack in at the 1st runner
height from the bottom, and place
the prepared casserole with the food
for braising or stewing on this.

Select the oven setting and the tem-
perature.

Fan Heat D . . . . . . . . . . . . . 170-190°C

Conventional A . . . . . . . . . . 190-210°C

Cooking times

Consult your cook book.

Cook without a lid when a crusty fin­ish or topping is required, eg for meat
or au gratin dishes.

Useful hint

One dish can be placed on top of the
other. Invert the lid of the bottom dish.
Put dishes to be browned at the top.

Poaching

Fish or fruit can be poached in the
oven in a covered dish.

Bottling

Bottling should only be undertaken by
an experienced cook who has received
proper training in this method of pres­erving fruit and vegetables, and under­stands the implications of the chemical
reactions involved.

Instructions for bottling in this oven are
available from the Miele Home Econo­mist.

40

Grilling

Pre-heat the grill for approx.
5 minutes with the oven door shut.

Grilling with the oven door shut
saves energy and minimizes cook­ing smells.

Preparing food for grilling

Clean, wipe and season. Do not salt
slices of meat beforehand as this de­tracts from the taste.

Add a little oil if necessary. Other fats
quickly become black or cause the
food to smoke. A little butter can be
added to chicken if desired.

Clean flat fish and slices of fish in the
normal way. To enhance the taste add
a little salt or squeeze a little lemon
juice over the fish.

Grilling

Grilling on the rack

Assemble the grill pan, anti-splash
tray (if available) and rack as shown.

Place the food on the rack.
Turn the oven function selector to

the"Grill ," setting.
Set the temperature:

Food to be grilled temperature
Thin cuts

such as chops, steak 275°C

Thicker cuts

such as chicken, kebabs 240°C

To grill thicker pieces of food more
gradually after an initial high tempera­ture, continue grilling at a lower tem­perature setting to allow the food to
cook through to the centre.

41

Grilling

Pre-heat the grill for approx.
5 minutes with the oven door shut.

Place the food to be grilled in the
grill pan and then the oven.

Make sure you insert the grill pan at the
appropriate level for the height of the
food to be grilled:

thin cuts = level 3, 4 or 5
thicker cuts = level 1 or 2

Grilling time

Flat pieces of fish and meat usually
need about 5-6 minutes a side depend­ing on their texture.
Thicker pieces need longer.

With rolled meat allow approx.
10 minutes per cm diameter.

Useful grilling hints

It is best to grill food of a similar thick­ness at the same time so that the grill-
ing time for each item does not vary
too greatly.

Most items should be turned half way
through cooking.

One way of finding out how far through
a piece of meat has been cooked is to
press down on it with a spoon.

– If there is very little resistance to the

pressure of the spoon, it is still red
on the inside ("rare").

– If there is some resistance, the inside

will be pink ("medium").

– If there is great resistance, it is

thoroughly cooked through ("well
done").

Cleaning and care

Cleaning and care

Ceramic hob surface

Treat the surface of your ceramic hob
with the same care as any other glass
surface.

Never use scouring agents or pads,
or strong cleaners such as oven
sprays or stain removers, as these
could harm the surface.

There is a seal between the hob
frame and worktop and between the
frame and the ceramic plate. Do not
use any sharp pointed object, such
as a knife, to clean these seals as
they could become damaged.

Clean after each use
Any minor spills which have not

dried on can be wiped off with a

damp cloth or sponge. If washing up
liquid or a similar cleaner is used, light
blue staining might occur.

These stains can be removed with a
proprietary ceramic hob cleaning
agent, although it may take several ap­plications.

For stubborn spillages use a shielded
blade scraper.

Then wipe with a damp cloth or
sponge.

Removing marks
Light marks with a metallic sheen

(alluminium desposits) on the hob sur­face can be removed once the hob has
cooled down by using a suitable pro­prietary cleaner.

Lime deposits (caused for example by
water boiling over, or damp pan bases)
can be removed with vinegar or a pro­prietary hob cleaner.

44

Cleaning and care

Removal of sugar, or syrups, plastic
or aluminium foil

If such problems occur, switch off
the hob, but do not let it cool down.
Scrape the sugar or other residue
thoroughly from the hob with a
shielded blade scraper.

When the hob is cool, clean with a pro­prietary cleaner.

Suitable cleaners

There are proprietary cleaners on the
market for cleaning ceramic hobs. Fol­low the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not apply to the hob when still
hot.

After applying the cleaner let it dry and
then rub it off using paper kitchen to­wels.

Some cleaners incorporate a silicone
ingredient which acts as a protective
film on the hob. It makes the hob sur­face smoother and prevents water and
soiling adhering to the surface.

However, cooking at high temperatures
reduces the effect and the cleaner
needs to be reapplied for renewed ef­fect.

By always cleaning the ceramic sur­face with one of these special cleaners
you will help to avoid the damage
caused by sugar and syrups and alumi­nium foil deposits.

Remove every trace of cleaner from
the hob with a damp cloth. It could
have an adverse effect on the hob
when heated up.

45

Cleaning and care

Cleaning and care

Enclosed hotplates

Hotplates

Wipe off any spilt food with a damp
cloth after the hotplates have cooled
off. Use a plastic scouring pad if
necessary for stubborn spills.

Hotplate surround

This can be cleaned with a suitable
stainless steel cleaner.

Do not use any cleaning agent with
a scouring effect.

Moisture or dirt must not penetrate
the hotplate interior.

The hotplates can be scoured, but not
the hotplate surround.

After cleaning switch on the damp
hotplates for a short time to dry out,
to avoid corrosion.

Occasional treatment with a thin film
of oil, or special cleaner for solid hot­plates is recommended, (eg "Elektro­puzzi" available as a special order from
the Spare Parts dept).

Hob trough

Do not use any scouring agents or
pads as this could scratch.

Clean the hob with a hot water and
detergent solution.

Remove any spills of food or water
containing salt as soon as possible,
as these could cause corrosion.

Where spills have dried on, soak for a
short time to make cleaning easier.

46

Cleaning and care

Appliance front and control
panel

Use a mild cleaning agent or a dash of
washing up liquid in hot water. Wipe
dry with a soft cloth.

Glass front

Do not use a scouring agent, as this
would scratch the glass front.

For ovens with a white finish we recom­mend after each use wiping:

– the oven door handle and
– the control panel

with a damp cloth and some washing
up liquid. This will avoid spillages
being burnt on and becoming im­possible to remove.

Cleaning and care

Accessories

Runners

Wash in hot water with washing up
liquid, or clean with a stainless steel
cleaner.

Baking tray, roasting/grill pan, rack:

wash and dry after each use.
Remove stubborn residues that do not

wash away
– from stainless steel:

with a stainless steel cleaner.

– from enamel:

Soften residues by soaking with hot
water, then brushing with a soft nylon
brush or sponge.

Stainless steel front

Never use cleaners containing
sand, soda or scouring agents,
These will leave scratches.

Use a non-scouring stainless steel
cleaner. Apply with an even pressure.
Wipe over with a damp cloth and rub
dry with a soft cloth.

Roasting filter

Clean in washing up liquid and hot
water, or in the dishwasher.

47

Cleaning and care

Cleaning and care

Oven interior

The oven interior surfaces have been
designed to make cleaning easier.

If an oven spray is used on the
"Clean-Enamel", follow the manufac­turer’s instructions carefully.

The oven cavity and door interior are
finished in "Clean-Enamel". The rear
panel which protects the fan is more
subject to oil and fat splashes and has
a catalytic enamel coating.

With some models, side panels with
catalytic coating are fitted and the re­movable guard plate above the grill
has a catalytic coating. With this ar­rangement most of the interior "Clean­Enamel" is protected, except for the
floor and the door, which should be
cleaned after each use.

"Clean-Enamel"

This is a specially hardened enamel
with an extremely smooth surface.

Most baking and roasting residues can
be easily removed using a sponge
cloth, washing up liquid and hot water.

If something bakes on harder, it can be
loosened with a shielded blade
scraper, and cleaned off with a sponge
and a suitable proprietary non-abrasive
cream cleaner. It is easier to remove
splashes of fruit or cake mixture from
the oven and racks while they are still
warm.

Fruit juice may cause lasting discolora­tion.

Dull patches may remain permanently
in the oven tray after roasting or grilling.

Important: Oven spray must not
come into contact with catalytic ena­mel. It can damage the enamel.

Catalytic Enamel

Because circulating air in the oven de­posits oil and fat splashes predomi­nantly on the rear wall, this is coated in
catalytic enamel.

With some models, side panels with
catalytic coating are also fitted, and the
removable guard plate above the grill
has a catalytic coating.

When this catalytic enamel is heated to
temperatures above 200°C, oil and
grease deposits are removed, except
for deposits of spices, syrups and simi­lar substances. The higher the tempera­ture the more effective the process.

Do not use an oven spray on the
catalytic enamel. Do not wash the
panels in a dishwasher. Any mech­anical handling would damage the
catalytic enamel.

Do not wait too long between cleaning
sessions as further baking and roasting
will cause oil and grease deposits to
burn on even harder.

48

Cleaning and care

Cleaning each type of enamel

Allow the oven to cool down before
cleaning. Danger of burning.

Clean the oven floor ("Clean-Ena­mel) after each use.
The oven should also be cleaned
regularly, preferably after each use.
Waiting too long will make cleaning
very difficult and in extreme cases
not very effective.

Never use hard brushes, scouring
cloths, steel wool, knives or other
abrasive materials. The enamel
would be damaged.

Remove the accessories and the run­ners from the oven. (See following
pages for release).

Clean the "Clean-Enamel" surfaces.
A mild proprietary cleaner, without
sand or scouring agents, may be
used.

Normally the catalytic liners can be
left in place and wiped over. Use a
solution of warm water and a little
washing up liquid and a soft brush to
clean catalytic surfaces.
The catalytic liners should rarely
need to be removed. See following
pages for procedure.

In addition, heating the oven to a high
temperature will help remove soiling on
the catalytic surfaces which has been
caused by grease and oil splashes.

Turn the oven function selector to
"Fan heat D".

Turn the temperature selector to the
highest setting.

Let the oven operate for about one
hour. The length of time will depend on
the degree of soiling. It is a good idea
to set the finish time for the process
using the timer. This way you will not for­get to switch the oven off at the end.

Every time the oven is used at high tem­peratures any remaining soiling will
gradually disappear.

Should the catalytic coating on the
back panel or any other catalytic
panels fitted become ineffective
through improper use or heavy soil­ing, for example, a replacement can
be obtained from your Miele dealer
or Miele Spare Parts dept.

Do not use oven spray or abrasive
cleaning agents on the catalytic sur­faces. Do not wash the panels in a
dishwasher. Any mechanical hand­ling would damage the catalytic en­amel.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning and care

To make cleaning easier you can

– remove the oven door,
– take out the runners,
– take out the rear wall,
– lower the Top heat heating element.

To remove the oven door

Please note : the oven door is quite
heavy. It should be gripped firmly at
the sides when being removed or re­fitted.

Open the door fully.

Before the door can be removed,
the door hinges need to be locked
so that they do not damage the
door when it is taken out.

Lift up the door until the hinges
disengage. Remove the door.

To re-fit the oven door

Hold the door as shown above and
carefully put the locked hinges into
the guide holes until they engage.
Open the door fully.

Flip down the locking clamps on
each door hinge. This locks the
hinges.

50

Still supporting the door, flip the lock­ing clamps up.

It is essential that the locking
clamps are flipped up when the
door is re-fitted after cleaning.
Otherwise, on closing the door, the
hinges could work loose from the
guide holes and this could result in
damage to the door.

To remove the runners

Select the "Light H" setting.

The oven heater elements must be
switched off, to avoid the danger of
burning.

Pull on the fixing knob to release it.

Cleaning and care

Take the runners out of the oven.

Reassemble in the reverse order, care­fully ensuring all parts are correctly in
place.

51

Cleaning and care

To remove the catalytic side panels

Select the "Light H" setting.

The oven heater elements must be
switched off, to avoid the danger of
burning.

Take the runners out of the oven.
Gently lift and pull out the catalytic

side panels.

Reassemble in the reverse order, care­fully ensuring all parts are correctly in
place.

When reassembling the catalytic side
panels, ensure they sit correctly.

Ease the back lug into the opening
in the rear wall panel.

52

Lift the front locating hole on to the
guide pin behind the collar.

Cleaning and care

To remove the back panel

Loosen the screws in the back panel
and take it out.

The oven must not be used without
the back panel fitted. This could
lead to injuries.

Reassemble in the reverse order, care­fully ensuring all parts are correctly in
place.

Put the runners back into place.

53

Cleaning and care

To lower the upper heating element

Select the "Light H" setting.

The oven heater elements must be
switched off, to avoid the danger of
burning.
Wait until the grill element has
cooled down enough to touch.
Otherwise you could be burnt.

Take out the runners.

Gently lower the grill element.

Do not use force to lower it, as this
could cause damage.

If the guard plate (according to model)
is dirty it can also be removed for clean­ing:

Pull (and turn if necessary) on the fix­ing knob on the grill element to re­lease it.

54

Hold the guard plate firmly and un­screw the knurled knob.

Take out the guard plate.

Reassemble in the reverse order, care­fully ensuring all parts are correctly in
place.

Correcting minor faults

Installation, maintenance and re­pairs to the electrical components
of this appliance should only be car­ried out by a fully competent person
to ensure safety. Repairs and other
work by unqualified persons could
be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for un­authorized work.

Some minor problems however can be
dealt with as follows:

What to do if . . .

. . . The hob cooking zones / hot­plates do not warm up after being
switched on.

Check whether,

the house mains fuse has shorted.
Call an electrician or the Service
dept.

Correcting minor faults

. . . the heating works, but not the
oven lighting

The bulb needs changing:

Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply:
Switch off at the isolator or the mains
fuse box.

Remove the runners.

. . . The oven does not heat up.

Check whether,

the selector switch is set to the func­tion required, and the temperature
control is set at the correct tempera­ture.

"AUTO" is flashing in the timer dis­play field.
To switch on the oven independently
of the timer, "@" should show in
the display. Press the "i" button.

the main fuse has blown. Contact a
qualified electrician or the Miele Ser­vice Department.

Lift the lamp cover from its retainers.
Change the bulb:

230-240°V, 25 W, E 14, heat
resistant to 300°C, pear shape.

Press the lamp cover back in its
retainers and put the runners back.

55

Correcting minor faults

. . . a noise is heard after a baking,
roasting or grilling process.

This is not a fault.
The cooling fan continues to run for a
short time 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 has fallen suffi­ciently the fan switches off automati­cally.
The temperature will fall faster when the
oven door is opened partially or fully.

. . . the cakes and biscuits are not
cooked after following the times
given in the chart.

Check whether,

the correct temperature was set.
there has been a change to the

recipe. The addition of more liquid or
more eggs makes a moister mix
which would need longer to cook.

. . . the cake or biscuits are unevenly
browned

There will always be a slight uneven­ness. Product information sheets give a
percentage result for standard brown­ing tests. These refer to results for one
tray.

If the item being baked is browning
very unevenly, check:

– Baking with the "Fan Heat D" setting:

whether the temperature was set too
high,

whether the roasting filter was in
place.

– Baking with "Conventional A" heat-

ing:
check the colour and composition of

the baking tins being used. Light col­oured, shiny, or thin walled tins are
less suitable.

the roasting filter had been left in
place in front of the fan when cook­ing with "Fan Heat D". In this case
baking times might be lengthened
by 10 to 15 minutes.

56

. . . spots like rust appear on the inte­rior walls.

When roasting on the rack, the circulat­ing air sometimes picks up spices,
which are then deposited on the oven
interior walls. Such residues are not
removed by catalytic cleaning, they are
best removed while fresh with a mild
washing up liquid solution and a soft
brush.

Installation - Hobs with enclosed hotplates

Installation - Hobs with enclosed hotplates

These hobs are classified in Germany
as "Y" class for heat protection. They
must be positioned so that there is ade­quate ventilation. There may be a wall
at the rear, and wall or tall units at one
side. On the other side however no unit
or divider must stand higher than the
hob.

Because of the heat given off, there
must be a minimum distance as fol­lows:
– 40 mm between the worktop

cut-out and adjacent furniture,
e. g. tall unit.

– 50 mm between the back wall

and the worktop cut-out.
