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.

Energy efficiency rating according to EN 50304

These appliances are rated energy efficiency class B in accordance with EN 50304. Tests were carried out using the "Fan" oven function.

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.

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 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

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

To take the racks, baking trays or the grill pan out of the oven, or to put them into it. The two prongs at the top go inside the rack, tray or pan and the U-shaped supports underneath.

The anti-splash tray should be placed inside the deep sided grill pan when grilling or roasting.

Correct usage

The appliance is intended for

domestic 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 incorrect or improper use of the appliance.

Do not let children access the

appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm. If allowing older children to use the appliance without supervision please ensure that they are aware of how the oven works and understand the dangers of improper use,

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.

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 is 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.

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.

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.

Never open the casing of the appliance.

Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by a suitably

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

ensure 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.

When operating the pyrolytic

cleaning function the front of the oven becomes hotter than with normal oven use. Do not touch the oven door which may be very hot and do not hang anything e.g. tea towels on the door handle during use. They could catch fire!

Children should be kept well away from the appliance during pyrolytic operation. Danger of burning.

Warning and Safety instructions

Remove all accessories including

the runners and any extra accessories such as, for example, the telescopic carriage, from the oven interior before starting the pyrolytic cleaning process. The high temperatures needed for pyrolysis will damage the accessories and cause irreparable damage to the telescopic carriage.

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.

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 15 kg.

Make sure that nothing gets

trapped between the door and the oven.

Cover any food which is left in the

oven to be kept hot. This avoids the food drying out. It also prevents steam condensing and possibly leading to moisture damage in the oven.

If food is left in the oven after

cooking, e.g. to take advantage of the residual heat, turn the temperature selector to the lowest setting. Leave the function selector at the position set. Do not switch the appliance off until the food has been removed. Moisture in the oven could lead to 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 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.

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 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).

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.

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

Do not drop anything on the

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

In the event of any breakages or cracks occurring in the ceramic

Warning and Safety instructions

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

containing 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.

temperatures. Additionally they could damage the hob as they melt.

General notes

Never leave the appliance

unattended 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

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 of 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, and by observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high

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. Alcohol 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 non-compliance 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.

Door lock for pyrolytic mode

The oven door is automatically locked approx. 15 seconds after the pyrolytic cleaning process starts.

The door remains locked until the temperature inside the oven has dropped back down to approx. 200 °C at the end of the pyrolytic cleaning process.

If "pyrolysis ." is started by mistake or if the process is interrupted, the door lock is released:

immediately if the oven temperature

–

is below approx. 200 °C. The door can then be opened about 30 se conds later.

once the temperature has dropped

–

to 200 °C if it was higher than this.

Before using for the first time

After installation and before using the oven for the first time the clock has to be set.

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

Setting the clock

After switching the appliance on "0k00" and "AUTO" will flash in the timer display.

Cleaning the appliance

Oven interior

Before use please remove – any stickers on the floor of the

oven, baking trays, grill pan etc.

– any cork spacers at the sides

above the oven cavity.

Wipe out the oven interior using

warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not close the oven door until the oven interior is dry.

^ Rinse the accessories.

New appliances have a slight smell on

first use. Running the oven empty for at least an hour at a high temperature will dissipate this more quickly.

Press the "i" button.

Whilst the "k" point is flashing in the display, use the "+" or "–" buttons to enter the time in hourskminutes. The clock has a 24 hour display.

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

The "l" symbol above the "k" dot indicates that the oven can be used without the timer.

^ 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.

Ceramic hobs

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.

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.

Hobs

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.

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.

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.

The relevant cooking zone control is also used to switch on the vario / extended area.

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.

Suggested hob settings

Setting

Melting butter, Chocolate Dissolving gelatine Preparing yoghurt

Keeping food warm Warming small quantitites of food/liquid Thickening sauces containing egg yolk, butter Omelettes

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.

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.

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.
