Warning and Safety instructions

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all rele­vant legal safety requirements. Im­proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per­sonal injury and material damage.

Before installation and before using
the appliance for the first time, read
the operating instructions carefully.
They contain important notes on
safety, on the installation, operation
and care of the appliance. This way
you will avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the appliance.

The appliance is not intended for
use by young children or infirm per­sons without supervision.
Young children should be super­wised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.

Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any fu­ture user.

Correct usage

The appliance is intended for do-

mestic use to cook food, and in
particular to bake, roast, defrost, cook,
dry fruit etc, and to grill.
Any other usage is at the owner’s risk
and could be dangerous. The manufac­turer cannot be held responsible for
damage caused by improper use of the
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, other­wise the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a competent person if in doubt.

The electrical safety of this ap-

pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system, which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import­ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held respon­sible for the consequences of an inade­quate earthing system (e.g. electric
shock).

This appliance must only be oper-

ated as a built-in appliance. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.

Never open the casing of the ap-

pliance.
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
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.

11

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.

12

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.

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 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.

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 any deep-frozen items such

as pizzas on baking paper on the
rack itself. Do not place them on the
baking tray or in the grill pan/oven tray.
This could cause the metal to distort to
such an extent that it might be im­possible to remove the pan from the
oven whilst it is still hot. 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/oven.

Never add water to food on a hot

baking tray or grill pan/oven tray 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/oven tray on the floor of the oven.

If using a grill pan/oven tray 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).

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.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Hobs with enclosed hotplates

When switched on the cooking

areas become hot. Danger of burn­ing.

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.

14

Warning and Safety instructions

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 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.

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.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaner to clean this ap­pliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause 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 vaporise.
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.

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

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 these Warning and
Safety instructions.

Setting the timer

Depending on model, your appliance
may be fitted with a timer.

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.

After the appliance has been switched
on "0.00" and "AUTO" flash in the dis­play.

(24 hour display)

Press and hold buttons "g" and
")" at the same time.

·

"0

00" and "AUTO" continue to flash.
Enter the time of day in hours and

minutes with the + or – button.

Once the time has been entered, the
clock advances minute by minute.

Timer-controlled or manual operation

This oven can be operated with timer
control - see section "Timer", or
manually. Press "i" to allow you to
operate the oven manually.

The "@" symbol will appear in the
display, indicating that the oven can be
used without the timer.

Rinse the accessories.

New appliances have a slight smell on
first use. Running the oven 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.

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.

18

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 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
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.

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 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 for about 20 minutes when using
this method.

Grill n

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.

Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before
placing food under the grill.

Fan grill N

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.

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".

– Light H

Turns on the oven light inde­pendently.

– Conventional A

Top and bottom heat for baking /
roasting traditional recipes, for 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.
