Description of the appliance
Energy efficiency rating
according to EN 50304
These appliances are rated energy effi
ciency class C in accordance with EN
50304. Tests were carried out using the
"Fan" oven function with the catalyser
switched off.
Accessories
Most of 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.
-
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 and grilling meat.
When pushing the tray, pan and rack
back in, always ensure that the
safety notches are at the rear of the
oven. (See illustration)
8
The droplets of fat caught up in the cir
culating air are deposited on the roast
ing 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.
Roast probe
Description of the appliance
Handle
The roast probe enables the roasting
process to be monitored simply and reliably. See "Roasting with the roast
probe" for details.
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.
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.
Catalyser
The catalyser is built in to the oven's
cooling system.
The catalyser filters fatty vapours and
reduces food smells.
In pyrolytic cleaning mode the catalyser
regulates the duration of the cleaning
process depending on how dirty the
oven is.
Hob use and installation
For "E" models (ovens with integrated
hob controls) a separate set of instruc
tions is supplied with the hob which
covers its use and installation.

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.
When operating the pyrolytic func-
tion 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.
12
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 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, to
avoid the danger of burning.
Do not use force to pull it down as
this can cause the element to
break.
Only use the Miele roast probe
(core temperature probe) supplied
with this appliance. If a replacement is
necessary it can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts dept. or a Miele specialist dealer.
After using do not remove the roast
probe until the oven interior is cool.
When not in use do not leave the
roast probe in the oven, especially
when grilling or using the pyrolytic
cleaning process. High temperatures
would damage it.
Do not heat up unopened tins or
jars of food in the oven, as pressure can build up and they may explode. This could result in injury or
damage.
Do not push pots and pans around
on the oven floor as this could
damage the surface.
Do not lean or sit on an open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance.
Take care in the region of the hinges.
The oven door can support a maximum
load of 10 kg.
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.
Do not use plastic containers.
They melt at high temperatures
and could damage the oven.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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, Bottom
heat B or Intensive baking F. 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).
General notes
Never leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
oven or hob could catch fire.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cooking container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at temperatures over 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.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
oven, ensure that the cable cannot
come in contact with the 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.
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.

Description of the oven systems
Fan Heat D
Auto Roast E
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.
If a temperature of at least 140°C is selected, the "rapid heat-up" feature is activated automatically.
The "Top Heat" heating element switches in to heat the appliance up more
rapidly. This saves energy.
Food which browns quickly should not
be placed at the top of the oven when
rapid heat up is being used.
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
automatically returned to the preselected setting.
If a temperature of at least 140°C is selected , the "rapid heat-up" feature is
activated automatically.
The "Top Heat" heating element switches in to heat the appliance up more
rapidly. This saves energy.
Conventional heating A
With this 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.
If a temperature of at least 150°C is selected, the "rapid heat-up" feature is activated automatically.
The fan and its heating element switch
in to heat the appliance up more
rapidly. This saves energy.

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.
Description of the oven systems
Defrost G
Defrost can be operated without heating, or at a temperature of up to 50°C.
When the defrost system is used without heating the air is circulated by the
fan at room temperature.
Intensive bake F
This method combines "Fan Heat" with
heat from the lower heating element,
and is particularly useful for dishes that
require a moist topping and crisp base
like pizza and quiche lorraine.
Fan grill N
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before grilling.
The hot air from the grill is distributed
over the food by the fan on the rear
wall of the oven. This enables a lower
temperature to be selected than for
conventional grilling.
The grill element is thermostatically controlled and at times during grilling will
not glow red. This is quite normal.
Grill 1 m
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before grilling.
The grill element is thermostatically controlled and at times during grilling will
not glow red. This is quite normal.
Grill 2 n
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before grilling.
This method is particularly good for grilling large quantities of food using the
grill pan to its full extent.
The entire upper heating element acts
as the grill.
The inner part of the grill will glow red a
few minutes after being switched on.
The outer part of the grill will remain noticeably darker, but will still produce
the heat necessary to grill.
The grill element is thermostatically controlled and at times during grilling will
not glow red. This is quite normal.
Cleaning (Pyrolytic) .
In this mode the oven cleans itself.
The oven is heated up, and any resid-
ual soiling in the oven interior is
removed by the high temperatures.
After the cleaning process any pyrolytic debris (e.g. ash) can be easily
wiped out.
The inner part of the upper heating element acts as the grill. This will glow red
for a few minutes after being switched
on, and it is then ready for use. Use the
Grill 1 setting for small quantities.
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

Entering your own recommended
temperature
If you frequently work with a temperature which differs from the factory recommended one, it is also possible to
enter your own recommended temperature. (Exception: Defrost).
This saves changing the temperature
each time you use the setting.
Proceed as follows:
Use the function selector to choose
the function which is to be given a
different temperature.
The factory recommended temperature
appears in the display.
Now, immediately while the indicator
light in the "+/–" button is lit, use the
"+" or "–" button to enter the different
temperature required.
To save in memory press the "p" but-
ton until the audible tone is heard.
Enter the required temperature with
the "+/–" button, when the light between the two buttons is lit up.
Your own recommended temperature
is now stored in memory.
Next time this oven function is selected, the stored recommended temperature appears.
After a power cut, any individually programmed temperatures are lost and
must be re-entered.
23
Oven - use
Using the oven
Place food to be cooked on an appropriate runner height in the oven.
Turn oven function selector to the required function.
The following will light up:
– recommended temperature in the
oven display,
– the indicator light for the "+/–" button.
If you wish to alter the temperature
from the recommended temperature:
Press the "p" button.
Using the "+/–" button enter the
desired temperature.
The oven will start to heat up as soon as
the indicator light for the "+/–" button
goes out.
Heating is automatically interrupted as
soon as the oven door is opened. This
operates the door contact switch
which switches off the heating systems.
When "Fan Heat" is being used, the fan
is also switched off.
You can also delay the start of cooking
processes; see "Programming cooking
time automatically".
The cooling fan will continue for a while
after switching the oven off.
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
where instant heat is required to
make them rise quickly.
With "Conventional heat A":
– Pre-heat the oven where a fairly long
cooking time is required and a deep
colour and good rise are needed.
With Grill 1 and Grill 2:
– Pre-heat the grill for at least 5
minutes with the oven door closed
before placing the food under the
grill.
To pre-heat
Turn the function selector to the required function.
Select the required temperature.
When the required temperature has
been reached put the food into the
oven.
Cancelling a process /
switching off the oven
Turn the oven function selector to "0"
The oven is switched off:
all processes / symbol displays are
cancelled.
Exceptions:
– If the roast probe is being used, the
symbol"e" is lit.
– If a minute minder time has been
entered, the "l" symbol is lit and the
display shows the time counting
down.
24
Oven - use
Rapid heat-up
With the "Fan Heat D", "Auto RoastE"
and "Conventional A" heating systems,
"rapid heat-up" is switched on automatically if the temperature required is
– at least 140°C with "Fan Heat D"
and "Auto Roast E".
– at least 150°C with "Conventional A".
The rotating "C" beside the required
temperature shows that "rapid heat-up"
is switched on.
During the heat-up phase, the "Fan
Heat" heating element and the fan as
well as the "Top Heat" heating element
come on simultaneously to heat up the
oven as rapidly as possible. This saves
energy.
As soon as the required temperature is
reached, the extra heating element is
switched off.
Once the required temperature is
reached, the extra heating element
does not switch on again even if the
temperature is later increased.
Exception: if the temperature is increased before the required temperature is reached, "rapid heat-up" remains switched on.
To switch off "rapid heat-up"
For some dishes it may be desirable to
switch off "rapid heat-up" (biscuits,
small cakes).
Select the oven system and temperature for the cooking process.
As soon as the actual temperature appears in the display, "rapid heat-up"
can be switched off.
Press the "–" button and hold until
the "C" in the display stops rotating.
"Rapid heat-up" is now switched off for
this particular cooking process.
"Rapid heat-up" is available for the next
programme once the oven function selector has been turned to "0" at the end
of the programme.
"Rapid heat-up" can be permanently
switched off if you do not want it (see
section on "Altering oven settings,
Programmable function 06").
25
Oven - use
Energy-save function
If you are programming a cooking process using the automatic timer, or if
you are cooking with the roast probe,
the residual heat is automatically used
to save energy.
Shortly before the end of the cooking
time the oven heating switches off.
The letters "EC" in the display field indicate that the energy-save function is in
operation.
Oven lighting
When the oven is in operation the oven
lighting goes out approx. 15 seconds
after pressing the last button, to save
electricity.
To switch the lighting back on for a
short time, press one of the buttons.
The oven lighting comes on automatically when an oven function has been
selected and the oven door is opened.
If preferred, you can programme the
oven lighting to stay on for the duration
of the cooking programme, (see "Altering oven settings).
Night dimming
Between the hours of 22:00 and 6:00
the lighting in the clock / timer display
is dimmed automatically to give a slight
energy saving.
The residual heat in the oven is sufficient to complete the cooking process.
The cooling fan continues to run, as
does the hot air fan if a "fan" setting is
being used.
