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

e

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.

i Door contact switch

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.

5

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 baking and 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 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 U­shaped supports underneath.

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– or the mains fuse is withdrawn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 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 assess­ment 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. 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 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" heat­ing or when grilling, the element in the
roof of the oven and the roof liner
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.

They 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.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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 cook-

ing, 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.

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 or 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 ap­pliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).

10

Warning and Safety instructions

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 could catch fire.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaner to clean this ap­pliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

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 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 get
trapped in a hot oven door, which
could melt the cable insulation and be
dangerous.
Danger of electric shock.

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.
Any damage which might 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 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.

Before using for the first time

Cleaning the appliance

When the appliance is first connected
to the power supply, or after a power
cut "12:00" and the symbols "f" and
")" flash in the display.

Press the buttons "f" and ")" at
the same time.

The following light up:

– "12:00" in the display,
– the "+/–" button indicator light.

While the light between the "+" and
"–" buttons is still lit up, enter the time
of day in hours:minutes using the "+"
or "–" button.

When the indicator light for the "+/–" but­ton goes out. the time of day has been
set, and the display will change at one
minute intervals. The colon flashes.

Oven interior

If there are any stickers on the floor
of the oven, baking trays, 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" (bottom oven) or to
"Conventional (Top and bottom
heat) A" (top oven).

Select the highest temperature.

Depending on model the timer can also
be used to set the finish time.

Ensure the room is well ventilated
during this process.

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.
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

automatically returned to the pre-se­lected setting.

Conventional heating A

With the conventional method of heating,
radiant heat is directed on 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 when using this method.

Grill n

Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before plac­ing food under the 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.
The grill element is thermostatically con­trolled and at times during grilling will
not glow red. This is quite normal.

With Rapid heat-up the grill element,
the fan 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.

Auto Roast E

The oven heats initially to a high tem­perature which seals the meat to keep
it succulent and tasty.
As soon as the high temperature has
been reached, the oven temperature is

14

Fan grill N

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

Using the oven

Place food in the oven.
Turn the oven selector to the re-

quired function.
Use the temperture selector to set

the required temperature.
The oven starts to heat up.
With the bottom oven e heating is auto-

matically interrupted as soon as the
oven door is opened. This operates the
door contact switch which switches
off the heating systems, and the fan
with "Fan heat".

You can also delay the start of cooking
processes in the bottom oven e, (see
"Programming cooking time for the bot­tom oven").

The cooling fan will continue for a while
after switching the oven off.

Cancelling a process /

where instant heat is required to
make them rise quickly.

With “Conventional” A

– Pre-heat the oven where a fairly long

cooking time is required and a deep
colour and good rise are needed.

With "Grill" n

– Pre-heat the grill for at least 5

minutes with the oven door closed,
before placing the food under the
grill.

With "Rapid heat-up" Ä

(Bottom oven only)

Do not switch on "Rapid heat-up Ä"
for pre-heating the oven when bak­ing biscuits and small cakes, par­ticularly when batch baking be­cause the top tray will brown too
quickly.

Turn the function selector and the tem­perature selector to "0".

The oven is switched off;
all processes/ symbol displays are can­celled.

Pre-heating the oven

Pre-heating is only necessary in a few
cases e.g:

With “Fan heat” D

– Pre-heat for foods which cook in less

than 20 minutes and for foods such

as puff pastry and yeast mixtures

Turn the function selector to "Rapid
heat-up" Ä.

Set the temperature you require.
The oven heating comes on.

When the indicator light above the
temperature selector goes out for the
first time, set the oven function you
require for continued cooking or bak­ing and place the food in the oven.

You can use "Rapid heat-up Ä" to
cook ready made meals (see
relevant section).

Baking

Baking

When choosing which oven to use
take into account both the height of
the baking tin and the height that
the baking will reach once it has
risen.

The following settings are recom­mended for baking:

– Fan Heat D
– Conventional A

Bakeware

For the best baking results make sure
that you chose bakeware in 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 tins. Place the tin or dish on the
baking tray in the oven with the slop­ing edge towards the door.

"Fan Heat D"

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

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

from the bottom

3 trays = 1st, 2nd and 4th runners

from the bottom

If baking on three levels place tins
on the grill pan on the 1st runner po­sition and on baking trays on the
other runner levels.

Remember to remove the roasting
filter from in front of the fan opening.
Otherwise the baking time will be
longer and results uneven.

With "Fan Heat D" approx. 20 °C lower
baking temperatures are needed than
with the "Conventional A" setting.

– Conventional A

The following baking tins give an
evenly browned result:
Dark metal, aluminium or enamel tins
with a matt finish are preferable.
Heat resistant glass dishes can also
be used.
Avoid bright, shiny metal tins. These
reflect heat which means that the
heat does not penetrate to the food
effectively and will result in uneven
or poor browning. In some cases the
cakes might not cook properly.
Place the tin or dish directly on the
non-tip rack in the oven. Use one
shelf position only.

24

"Conventional A"

Only one shelf should be used for this
function. If more than one shelf position
is needed use Fan heat instead.

This function is particularly good for
rich fruit cakes, pastries and breads
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.

Baking

– Top oven -

For tray baking, biscuits and "flat"
cakes. Place tins on the rack on run­ner level 1.

– Bottom oven e

For large (deep) cakes. Place tins on
the rack on runner level 1 or 2.

General notes

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

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.

When baking anything with a high salt
content (such as pretzels) these must
be placed on baking parchment. High
concentrations of salt can damage Per­fectClean surfaces.

The Baking Chart and the Miele
Cookbook give suggestions for tem­perature, runner height and times.

For 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.

Always remove all trays and racks
not being used when using the
oven to get the best results and to
keep cleaning of the trays to a mini­mum.

– The cooling fan will continue for a

while after switching the oven off.

When baking cakes with fresh fruit
toppings and tall sponge cakes place
the tin in the grill pan to catch any spil­lages and keep the oven cleaner.

Roasting in the oven

Roasting in the oven

The bottom oven is normally more ap­propriate for roasting.
The top oven is not so suitable, except
for small roasts, preferably covered.

We recommend the following settings
for roasting in the oven:

– Auto roast E
– Conventional A

Roasting in a covered pot L:

Roasting pots with a lid made from
earthenware, cast iron, ovenproof
china or glass and roasting foil are all
suitable. Make sure any lids and
handles are heat-resistant.

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.

Place the covered pot on the rack into
a cold oven.

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.

Open roasting

Auto roast E:
When roasting on the rack or in an
open tin make sure the roasting fil­ter is fitted in front of the fan in the
back of the oven before starting.

Use shelf position 1 for roasting.
Exception: With conventional A use

runner level 2 for poultry, meat or fish
weighing up to 1 kg.
The "Auto roast E" system uses an ap­proximately 20°C lower roasting tem-
perature than the "Conventional" heat­ing system.

When roasting on the rack place the
rack and anti-splash tray over the grill
pan and push them in together.

Season the meat and place in the grill
pan. Place a little water in the tray. Do
not add too much liquid to the tray dur­ing cooking as this will hinder the
browning process. Baste during cook­ing.

Exception: Pre-heat the oven to the tem­perature suggested when roasting beef
and beef fillet.

28

Roasting in the oven

Calculating the 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.

Temperature

See the Roasting chart for suggested
temperatures.

Do not select a higher temperature
than that advised. The meat will
become brown, but will not be cooked
properly inside.

Do not roast deep frozen meat.
Meat should be thoroughly de­frosted before roasting.

Roasting in the oven

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.

– The cooling fan will continue for a

while after switching off the oven.

Grilling

Grilling

When choosing which oven to use
take into account the height of the
food to be grilled.

Put the roasting filter in front of the
fan grille in the back of the oven.

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

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

Because the grill is thermostatically
controlled it will not glow red all the
time. This is normal.

The oven has two grill settings:

Grill n

For grilling thin cuts and for browning.

Fan Grill N

For grilling larger items, for example,
poultry, rolled meat.

Preparing food for grilling

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 on the rack

Assemble the grill pan, anti-splash
tray and rack as shown.

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

required grill setting.
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 mins

with the oven door closed.
Place the grill pan under the grill.

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

– Top oven

-

Clean, wipe and season with pepper
and herbs. Do not season meat with
salt before grilling as this draws the­juices out.

Add a little oil if necessary. Other fats
quickly become black or cause the
food to smoke.

thin cuts = level 2 or 3

– Bottom oven e

thin cuts = level 4 or 5
thicker cuts = level 3 or 4

31

Grilling

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.

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.

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

Useful grilling hints

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 in-

side will be pink ("medium").

– If there is great resistance, it is

thoroughly cooked through ("well
done").

Defrosting

Defrosting

To defrost select "Fan heat D" with a
temperature setting of up to a maxi­mum of 50 °C.

For defrosting meat and delicate foods
do not set a temperature. The fan on
the rear wall will then circulate cool air
(at room temperature) around the oven.

Please note:
– 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 over the grill pan 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. Danger of salmon­ella.

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.

– Fish does not need to be fully de-

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

Cooking

Cooking ready made meals

The "Rapid heat-up Ä" function can
be used on its own for preparing ready
made meals such as pizza, pre-pre­pared lasagne, filled baguettes, etc.
However, when used on its own it is not
suitable for baking and conventional
cooking.

When preparing ready made meals
with this function only use one level of
the oven. If you wish to cook on more
than one level at the same time select
"Fan heat D" instead.

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.

Cooking

Observe recommended tempera­tures, cooking times and position in
the oven given on manufacturer’s
packaging.

You can also programme the oven to
end or delay the start of a cooking pro­cess automatically, see "Programming
cooking time automatically".

Turn the function selector to "Rapid
heat-up Ä".

Set the temperature you require.
The oven heating comes on.

When the indicator light above the
temperature selector goes out for the
first time, do not select another oven
function.

Place the dish in the pre-heated
oven.

Cleaning and care

Appliance front and control
panel

All external surfaces and controls
can be cleaned using warm water
with a little washing up liquid applied
with a soft sponge or cloth.

Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part number 98013530, which is suit­able for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals.
It can be washed 300 times.

To prevent the risk of scratches and
damage to the surface structure of
glass and stainless steel fronted ap­pliances pay particular attention to the
following cleaning instructions.

Glass fronted appliances

The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and abrasion.

Avoid:
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-

der cleaners and cream cleaners,

– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

or sponges which have been pre­viously used with abrasive cleaning
agents,

– oven sprays.
Clean the door handle and the control

elements regularly, preferably after
each use.
This will help prevent grease or other
deposits adhering to surfaces and be­coming difficult to remove.

36

Cooking

Stainless steel fronted ap­pliances

The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and abrasion.

Please observe the cleaning instruc­tions for

– stainless steel surfaces,
– stainless steel coloured controls.

Stainless steel surfaces

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a proprietary non-abrasive clean­ing agent designed specifically for use
on stainless steel, or with the Miele
E-Cloth.

Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,

acids or chlorides,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-

der cleaners and cream cleaners,

– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

or sponges which have been pre­viously used with abrasive cleaning
agents.

To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel
can also be used.
Apply sparingly with even pressure
using a soft cloth following the direction
of the "grain".

Stainless steel coloured controls

The controls may suffer discolour­ation or damage if soiling is left on
them for too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.

Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,

acids or chlorides,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-

der cleaners and cream cleaners,

– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

or sponges which have been pre­viously used with abrasive cleaning
agents,

– stainless steel cleaners,
– oven sprays.

Accessories

Always remove all accessories,
trays and racks which are not being
used when using the oven to get
the best results and to keep clean­ing of the trays to a minimum.

Baking tray, grill pan, rack and side
supports.

The surfaces of these have been
treated with PerfectClean enamelling.
See "PerfectClean" for cleaning instruc­tions.

Roasting filter

Clean in a solution of hot water and a
little washing up liquid or in the dish­washer.

Note: some dishwasher detergents
may cause the surface of the metal fil­ter to discolour. This discolouration will
not affect the functioning of the filter in
any way.

37

Cooking

PerfectClean

Before using for the first time
remove any stickers from Perfect­Clean surfaces.

The enamelled surfaces of the oven in­terior, baking tray, grill pan, rack and
side supports have been treated with a
new type of enamelling called "Perfect-
Clean".

This surface has very good anti-stick
properties which is much easier to
keep clean than conventional oven ena­mel, if cleaned regularly.

Food can be taken off it more easily
and soiling from baking and roasting is
easier to remove.

The following notes on cleaning and
care should ensure that the anti-stick
and easy clean properties of Perfect­Clean last for many years.

Normal soiling

Clean as soon as possible after each
use with a dishcloth, soft sponge (e.g.
the Vileda sponge as supplied with the
oven) or a soft nylon brush, and a solu­tion of hot water and a little washing up
liquid. The longer it is left the harder it
may become to remove.

Stubborn soiling

Stubborn soiling e.g. from roasting may
need to be soaked first with a damp
sponge to loosen it and if necessary a
scraper suitable for glass surfaces can
be used to remove it.

After cleaning rinse thoroughly with
clean water. The water must run off the
surface easily. Any residual cleaning
agents will hinder this effect.

Using oven sprays on very stubborn
soiling

PerfectClean surfaces can be treated
as you would treat glass. If you are un­sure whether a particular cleaning pro­duct is suitable for PerfectClean con­sider whether you could clean a
window pane with the product without
damaging it.

Food can be sliced or cut up on the
PerfectClean surface in the same way
as on a baking tray with conventional
enamel.

Allow the oven and any accessories
to cool down before cleaning.
Danger of burning!

38

Some oven cleaners contain strong
alkalines and / or abrasive
materials. Because the enamel is
designed to be easily cleaned the
use of these cleaners is not recom­mended.
However if you still cannot get the
surface clean, an oven cleaner can
be used.
Do not attempt to use on a hot oven
or accessories. Allow the Perfect­Clean surfaces to cool down to
room temperature before applying
oven sprays!

Cooking

Remove the catalytic back panel,
side panels (if fitted) and roof pa­nels before using oven sprays. The
chemicals used in oven sprays will
damage catalytic enamel rendering
it ineffective.

Apply a spray oven cleaner to the
soiled areas. Leave to take effect for

a couple of minutes only!

If necessary use a soft sponge (e.g.
the Vileda sponge as supplied with the
oven), soft nylon brush or a scraper
suitable for glass surfaces to loosen
the soiling.

Repeat the process if necessary.
After cleaning rinse thoroughly with

clean water and then dry thoroughly.

Important

For optimum performance of the Per­fectClean enamel it is important to
clean the oven and accessories after
each use.

The surfaces will become harder to
clean and the anti-stick properties
will deteriorate if soiling is not
removed after each use and allowed
to build-up. In extreme cases clean­ing may even become impossible.

The following cause lasting damage
to the surface structure and reduce
the anti-stick effect and must not be
used on PerfectClean surfaces:

– abrasive cleaning agents
– wire wool or metal scourers
– pot scourers
– oven cleaning pads
– sponges and cloths which have

previously been used with
abrasive cleaning agents.
– oven spray must not be used in a
hot oven or left on for too long.
– items coated with PerfectClean
enamelling must not be cleaned
in a dishwasher.

Note

Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures are best removed whilst the
oven or tray is still warm. Exercise cau­tion, make sure the oven is not hot ­danger of burning!

Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting dis­colouration of the surfaces and roast­ing can cause matt areas to appear.
Clean these following the instructions
given above and do not try and use
force to remove them! This discolour­ation is permanent but will not affect
the efficiency of the enamel.

When baking items with a high salt con­tent (e.g. continental pretzels) place
them on baking parchment in the bak­ing tray or grill pan. Sodium deposits
can cause lasting discolouration to Per­fectClean surfaces.

39

Cooking

Cleaning and Care

Catalytic enamel surfaces

The removable back panel, side liners
(if fitted) and roof liner are coated with
a dark grey catalytic enamel.

During fan operated cooking circulat­ing air in the oven deposits oil and fat
splashes predominantly on the back
panel of the oven. These splashes are
burnt off when the temperature of the
oven reaches over 200°C during bak­ing or roasting. The higher the tempera­ture the more effective the process.

The oven and accessories should be
cleaned after each use. Otherwise fur­ther baking and roasting will cause the
deposits to bake on even harder and
cleaning may become difficult and in
extreme cases impossible.

Cleaning by hand

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

Catalytic enamelled panels should
be cleaned using a solution of hot
water with a little washing up liquid
applied with a soft nylon brush.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents,
hard brushes, scouring pads or
cloths, steel wool, knives or other ab­rasive materials and do not use oven
spray on catalytic enamel as the
chemicals used in oven sprays will
damage catalytic enamel rendering it
ineffective.
If using oven sprays on PerfectClean
oven surfaces the catalytic back
panel, side liners (if fitted) and roof
panel must first be removed from the
oven.

40

Cooking

To clean at high temperatures

Before cleaning the catalytic panels
using high temperatures, make sure
that all PerfectClean surfaces have
been cleaned as previously de­scribed. Otherwise, the high tem­peratures can cause deposits to
become baked on to the Perfect­Clean surfaces and become im­possible to remove.

If, after manual cleaning, the oven is
still heavily soiled, heating it to a high
temperature will help remove further
soiling caused by oil and grease
splashes from the catalytic surfaces.

Note that deposits of spices, syrups
and similar substances are not
removed by this process. These should
be removed while fresh by hand with a
mild solution of hot water and washing
up liquid applied with a soft brush.

Turn the oven function selector to
"Fan heat D" or "Conventional
heat A".

Turn the temperature selector to the
highest setting.

Run the oven for approx. 1 hour. The
length of time will depend on the
level 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.

Any remaining soiling will gradually dis­appear with each subsequent use of
the oven at high temperatures.

Should the catalytic enamelling on
the back panel, side liners or the
roof liner become ineffective
through improper use or heavy soil­ing, a replacement can be obtained
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts dept.

Cleaning and care

Oven interior

To make cleaning easier on both ovens
you can

– remove the oven door,
– take out the runners,
– take out the back panel,
– take out the side liners (if fitted),
– lower the top heating element

The bottom oven is illustrated however
the procedure is generally the same for
the top oven. Any steps which differ
are described in detail.

To remove the oven door

Please note : the oven door is
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.

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

Lift the door up until it is nearly in the
closed position. The hinges will auto­matically swing out in this position,
then remove the door.

42

Cooking

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.

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

Make sure the oven heating ele­ments are switched off and cool to
avoid the danger of being burnt.

Pull on the fixing knob to release it.

Take the runners out of the oven.

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

in the rear wall panel.

44

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

Cooking

To remove the back panel

– Bottom oven e

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.

Put the runners back into place.

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

– Top oven -

Take the runners out of the oven.
Remove the interior back panel.

The back panel is only held in place by
the side runners.

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

Correcting minor faults

Correcting minor faults

Installation, maintenance and re­pairs to the electrical components
of this appliance should only be car­ried out by a suitably qualified and
competent 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.

Some minor problems however can be
dealt with as follows:

What to do if . . .

. . . 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.

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

Make sure the halogen lamp is con­nected properly in its socket.

If after checking it, it still does not work
you will need to change it:

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

Remove the runners.

the operating lock is activated (bot­tom oven).

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

. . . "12:00" flashes in the timer dis­play.

This is not a fault.
There has been an interruption to the
power supply. After a power cut

– the time of day has to be entered

again,

– the operating lock has to be reacti-

vated.

Lift the lamp cover from its retainers.

47

Correcting minor faults

Replace the halogen lamp:
12 V, 20 W,
heat resistant up to 300°C, G4
socket, Osram, Type 64428.

Exercise caution when changing a
lamp. Halogen lamps get very hot dur­ing use and will remain hot for some
time after being switched off.

Do not touch the surface directly when
changing the lamp as grease particles
from your fingers will adhere to the sur­face and damage it. Please follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

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

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

. . . no noise is heard when the oven
door is opened during operation.

This is not a fault.
If the door is opened during operation,
the door contact switch causes the
oven heating, and the fan if on "Fan"
setting, to be switched off.

. . . a noise can be heard after bak­ing, roasting or grilling.

This is not a fault.
The cooling fan continues to run for a
while after the oven has 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.

. . . 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 roasting filter had been left in
place in front of the fan when cook­ing with "Fan D" heat, or was in
place for "Auto roast E". In this
case baking times might be leng­thened by 10 to 15 minutes.

48

Correcting minor faults

. . . cakes 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:

– when baking with "Fan Heat D":

whether the temperature was set too
high,

whether the roasting filter was in
place,

whether the correct runner height
was used.

– when baking with "Conventional A":

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

whether the correct runner height
was used.

. . . spots like rust appear on cata­lytic surfaces.

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.

. . . the timer display does not light
up when the oven is operating.

This is not a fault. The display does not
light up if the time of day display has
been switched off.

Press buttons "f" and ")" at the
same time. "12:00" will appear in the
display.

. . . the time cannot be re-set after a
power failure.

This is not a fault. Check whether the
function selector is still set to one of the
functions. If it is then turn it to the “0”
position. The time of day can now be
set.
