Description of the appliance

Features

Electronic controls

In addition to operating the various cooking programmes to bake, roast and grill, the electronic controls also of fer the following features:

Clock display

–

Minute minder

–

Timer to automatically switch cooking

–

programmes on and off with auto matic use made of residual heat

– Programme lock, to prevent uninten-

tional altering of programme settings

– System lock, to prevent the appli-

ance being used unintentionally

– Safety cut-out

Cooling system

As soon as the oven is switched on a cooling fan is automatically engaged. The cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven cavity with cool room air before venting it out into the kitchen through vents located between the appliance door and the control panel. The controls and door handle will get slightly warm. They are quite safe to touch.

The cooling fan will continue to run for a while after the oven has been switched off to prevent any humidity building up in the oven, on the control panel or in the oven housing unit. When the tem perature in the oven has fallen suffi ciently the cooling fan will switch off au tomatically.

Door contact switch

There is a door contact switch in the right hand door hinge. If the door is opened during operation, the door contact switch causes the oven heating, and the fan if a "Fan" set

ting is being used, to be switched off.

This helps reduce the amount of heat lost from the oven cavity, e.g. when basting a roast.

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces are all treated with PerfectClean enamelling.

– Oven interior – Runners – Baking tray – Grill pan – Anti-splash tray – Rack

PerfectClean enamelled surfaces have very good anti-stick properties and are much easier to keep clean than conventional enamel, if cleaned regularly. See "Cleaning and care" for more infor mation.

Catalytic enamelled surfaces

The back panel, roof liner and side lin ers (if fitted) are coated with dark grey catalytic enamel. Soiling from oil and fat is burnt off these surfaces when very high temperatures are used in the oven.

This makes it easier to clean inaccessi ble areas of the oven. See "Cleaning and care" for more infor

mation.

Description of the appliance

Catalyser

Depending on model a catalyser is fit ted into the oven's ventilation system.

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

Accessories

The following accessories are supplied with this oven.

These and other accessories are also available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Dept. or your Miele Dealer. 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.

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

upwards and then pulling out.

Roasting filter

The roasting filter must be fitted in front of the fan when cooking anything fatty or where food is likely to splatter, e.g. when open roasting or grilling meat.

The droplets of fat caught up in the circulating air are deposited on the roasting filter. This helps to keep the oven and the area behind the interior back panel cleaner.

When pushing the tray, pan and rack back in, always ensure that the safety notches are at the rear of the oven (see illustration).

Do not use the roasting filter when baking. This would increase the times needed for baking and give uneven browning results.

See "Extra accessories" for a descrip tion and illustration of the handle and anti-splash tray.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these materi als away, please ensure they are of fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which can be reclaimed or recycled. Please contact your dealer, your local waste collection centre or scrap merchant about potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

The electrical safety of this appli ance can only be guaranteed when

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

Never open the housing of the ap pliance.

Do not let children access the ap

pliance 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 im proper use.

Warning and Safety instructions

Installation work and repairs may

only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent persons in ac cordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held responsi ble.

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply when:

the mains fuse is withdrawn

–

or the screw-out fuse is removed (in

–

countries where this is applicable)

– it is switched off at the wall socket.

On appliances fitted with a plug make sure you pull only on the plug and not on the cable when disconnecting from the mains.

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).

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 assess ment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Use

Caution, danger of burning.

High temperatures are produced by the oven.

Great care should be taken to en

sure that small children do not touch the appliance when it is being used. Children’s skin is far more sensi tive to high temperatures than that of adults. External parts of the oven such as the door glass, handle vent and control panel can become quite hot.

Children should not be left alone or

unattended in an area where an oven is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the oven or play with it. Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an oven. Children climbing on to the oven to reach these items could be seriously injured.

Use of heat-resistant oven gloves

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

When working with "Conventional" heat ing or when grilling, the element in the roof of the oven gets 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. 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 appliance.

Do not heat up unopened tins or

jars of food in the oven. 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. The oven door can support a maximum load of 15 kg.

Cover any food which is left in the

oven to be kept hot. Any moisture in the food could lead to corrosion damage in the oven. This also prevents the food from drying out.

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 distor tion 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 cre ated 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 Conven tional heat A/Bottom heat B. 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 ap pliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).

Warning and Safety instructions

General notes

Never leave the appliance unat

tended when cooking with oil or fats as these are a fire hazard if over heated.

Do not use the oven to heat up the

room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the oven could catch fire.

Always ensure that food is 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 70°C C for a minimum of 10 minutes. When cooking or reheating foods e.g. poultry it is particulary 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 be ing 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 de frosting.

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 dan gerous. Danger of electric shock.

Never use steam cleaning appara

tus to clean the 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 dan ger.

In countries where there are areas

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 may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before throwing an old appliance

away it must first be made unus able. Switch off and disconnect it from the power supply, cut off the cable di rectly behind the appliance and render any plug useless. This should be done by a competent person.

The manufacturer cannot be held lia ble for damage caused by non-com pliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Use the V Function dial, for selecting oven functions which require input e.g. the time of day.

The V Function dial can be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise.

To select a function, turn the function dial until triangle V is underneath the symbol in the display of the function you wish to make changes to.

If triangle V – is flashing, alterations can be made

to the settings of the function se lected.

–

is lit up, the function will be dis played, but changes cannot be made to it.

Whilst the V is flashing, use the (–/+) Input dial immediately to make

any changes:

Turning it clockwise, increases the

–

value shown or engages the func tion,

Turning it anti-clockwise, reduces

–

the value or switches the function off.

Triangle V will flash for approx. 5 secs. Settings can only be changed whilst it is flashing. If this input period has elapsed you will have to use the function dial to re-select the function.

See chart for an overview of symbols in the display and their settings.

The display will change at a different rate depending on how quickly the dial is turned:

– in one minute increments –

in 10 minute increments or

–

hour by hour.

Programming sequence

To change a setting on the oven:

Turn the programme selector to the

required position. Turn the function dial clockwise or

anti-clockwise until triangle V is un derneath the required symbol in the display.

Whilst triangle V is flashing, use

the (–/+) Input dial immediately to make any changes.

The triangle will flash for appox. 5 seconds. If this input period has elapsed you will have to use the function dial to re-select the function.

The display will show what these dials are set to.

This principle applies whenever you change a setting.

See "Changing the time of day" and "Using the oven" for examples which explain this principle in detail.

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 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 heat ing 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 which cook in less than 20 minutes and for foods such as puff pastry and yeast mixtures where instant heat is required to make them rise quickly.

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

Auto Roast E

The oven heats initially to a high tem perature (230 °C) which seals the meat to keep it succulent and tasty. As soon as this temperature has been reached, the oven temperature automatically drops back down to the pre-selected setting.

Conventional heating A

With the conventional method of heat ing, radiant heat is directed onto the food from above and below. It is useful where a fairly long cooking time is re

quired and a deep colour and good rise are needed.

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

Grill n

This will glow red a few minutes after switching it on and is then ready for use. The grill element is thermostatically controlled and at times during grilling will not glow red. This is quite normal.

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

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. The grill element is thermostatically controlled and at times during grilling will not glow red. This is quite normal.

Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes with the door shut before 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.

Using the oven

A programme must first be selected us ing the Programme selector and then, if necessry, the temperature changed.

The programmes on this oven have pre-set recommended temperatures to simplify operation.

Selecting an oven setting

^ Turn the programme dial clockwise or

anti-clockwise to the required programme position.

When you do this the symbols of any functions which are available in this setting will light up in the display.

Light H

–

Turns on the oven light independ ently.

Fan Heat D

–

For baking or roasting on several lev els at the same time.

Auto Roast E

–

Initial high temperature to seal meat followed by normal roasting tempera ture. Not suitable for baking, except for baking freshly prepared wholemeal or rye doughs, (not packet mixes).

– Conventional A

Top and bottom heat together for long, slow baking of traditional recipes, e.g. fruit cake, casseroles.

– Bottom heat B

Use this setting towards the end of baking, to brown the base of a cake, quiche or pizza.

– Fan Grill N

For grilling thick cuts, e.g. rolled meat, poultry. Grill with the oven door closed.

–

Grill n For grilling fish and cuts such as chops, steaks, poultry pieces, and kebabs. Grill with the oven door closed.

Using the oven

Selecting a temperature

As soon as the programme selector is turned to a setting the following will ap pear in the display

the recommended pre-set tempera

–

ture, the symbols of any function that can

–

be altered from this programme selector position.

If you are happy with the recommended pre-set temperature, the display will change a few seconds later to show this as the target temperature. The oven starts to heat up.

The display will then change to show the actual temperature in the oven, and depending on which programme is being used the symbol p or U will also show.

The increase of temperature can be fol lowed in the display until the target tem perature is reached.

If the door is opened or the target temperature reduced during cooking, the actual temperature will also go down in the display.

The following temperatures are set at the factory:

Fan D. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 160 °C

Auto Roast E *. . . . . . . . . . . . . 160 °C

Conventional A . . . . . . . . . . . . . 190 °C

Bottom heat B . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 190 °C

Fan grill N . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 200 °C

Grill n. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 240 °C

* The initial boosted temperature is

approx. 230 °C, which then drops

down to 160 °C for continued roast ing.

Altering the temperature

If the temperature recommended by the system is not suitable, it can be altered according to oven function within the following range:

Fan D . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 – 250 °C

Auto Roast E . . . . . . . . . 100 – 230 °C

Conventional A . . . . . . . . . 30 – 280 °C

Bottom heat B . . . . . . . . . 100 – 250 °C

Fan grill N . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 – 260 °C

Grill n . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 200 – 300 °C

To do this:

Using the (+/–) input dial enter the re

quired temperature.

If you have already entered times for an automatic programme, you will first have to call up the p or U sym bol on the display before you can al ter the temperature.
