Description of the appliance
Please note
For "B" model ovens (without hob controls), only the instructions relating to
ovens are applicable.
The instructions for hobs relate to "E"
model cookers with hob controls, or to
the hob of a free-standing cooker.
Accessories
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.
6
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 and 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 bakingand give
uneven browning results.
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 spitting and making the
oven dirty. The juices can then be used
for making gravy and sauces.

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
accordance with national and local
safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorised work.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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– or the mains fuse is withdrawn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 that current is not supplied 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.
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 assessment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
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 control panel can
become quite hot. For cookers with a
hob turn pan handles inwards to prevent children from pulling pans over.
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 the oven to reach
these items could be seriously injured.
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 plate
become very hot, and there is a danger
of being burnt.
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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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 can
build up and they may 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 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 10 kg.
When closing the oven door to pre-
vent the risk of damage 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. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents
steam condensing and possibly leading to moisture damage in the oven.
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 distortion 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 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 top and bottom heat A. 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).
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.
Do not cover the hob display field
by a hot pan. This could cause
damage to the residual heat indicators.
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 and cause a short circuit.
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. Danger of burn-
ing.
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 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 the hob as they melt.
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, 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 at temperatures over 70º 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, 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
come into contact with hot cooking
zones or get trapped in a hot oven
door, which could melt the cable insulation and be dangerous. Danger of electric shock.
Never use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could attack the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
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
danger.
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 appliance
Before throwing an old appliance
away it must first be made unusable. Switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply, cut off the cable directly behind the appliance and render
any plug useless. This should be done
by a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Cleaning the appliance
Oven interior
If there are any stickers on the floor
of the oven, baking trays, oven/grill
pan etc. these must be removed before use.
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".
Select the highest temperature.
Depending on the model the timer can
also be used to set the finish time.
Ensure the room is well ventilated
during this process.
The "c" symbol will appear in the
display, indicating that the oven can be
used without the timer.

Before using for the first time
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.
Ensure the room is well ventilated
during this process.

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.
Do not cover the hob display field by a
hot pan. This could cause damage to
the residual heat indicators.
After switching off, the residual heat indicator light stays on as long as the
cooking zone remains hot.
Do not touch these cooking zones
or place any heat sensitive objects
on them. Danger of burning.
Extended area
Only applicable to hobs with vario or
extended cooking zones.
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.
The relevant cooking zone control is
also used to switch on the vario /
extended area.

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 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.

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 saucepans 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.
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.
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.
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 systems
Description of the systems
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 heating system.
The oven does not usually need to be
pre-heated as the heated air reaches
the food straight away.
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.
Grill n
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before
grilling.
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.
Exception: Pre-heating may be necessary for foods such as puff pastry and
yeast mixtures where instant heat is required to make them rise quickly.
Using the fan heating system you can
bake and roast on different levels at the
same time.
Rapid heat-up Ä
With Rapid heat-up the grill element,
the bottom heat element and the fan all
switch on at the same time so that the
oven reaches the required temperature
as quickly as possible. The indicator
light above the temperature selector
goes out when the required temperature has been reached. The oven function selector must then be turned to the
function you wish to use.
Conventional heating A
With the conventional method of heating, radiant heat is directed on the food
from above and below. It is useful
The grill element is thermostatically controlled and at times during grilling will
not glow red. This is quite normal.
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.
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.

Controls
There is an oven function selector and
a temperature selector.
Function selector
Turn the function selector
– clockwise, to select "Rapid heat-
up Ä", "Fan heat D" or "Fan
grill N".
– anti-clockwise, to select "Light H",
"Conventional A" and "Grill n".
Ovens - use
– Light H
Turns on the oven light independently.
– Conventional A
Top and bottom heat together for
long, slow baking / roasting of traditional recipes e.g. fruit cake.
– Grill n
For grilling fish and cuts such as
chops, steaks, poultry pieces, 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 heat D
For baking or roasting on several levels at the same time.
– Fan Grill N
Ideal for grilling thicker items such
as stuffed meat, kebabs and pieces
of poultry etc. Grill with the oven
door closed.
Turn the function selector clockwise
only as far as the "Fan grill N" set-
ting or anti-clockwise only as far as
the "Grill n" setting. Do not attempt
to turn it all the way round in either
direction. Do not force it, this would
damage the selector.
