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.
Roast probe
The roast probe enables the roasting
process to be monitored simply and
reliably. See "Roasting with the roast
probe" for details.
Catalyser
The catalyser is built in to the upper
oven's cooling system.
The catalyser filters fatty vapours and
reduces food smells.
6
Description of the appliance
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
U-shaped supports underneath.

10
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
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.
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).
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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, inflammable objects left near
the oven could catch fire.
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.
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 over 70ºC 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.
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
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

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
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.
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
automatically returned to the
preselected 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.
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 2 n
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before
grilling.
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.
This method is particularly good for
grilling large quantities of food using
the grill pan to its full extent.
The grill element is thermostatically
controlled and at times during grilling
will not glow red. This is quite normal.
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 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.

Press the "p" button.
^
Using the "+/–" button enter the
^
required temperature.
The oven will start to heat up as soon
as the indicator light for the "+/–" button
goes out.
Heating is automatically interrupted if
the oven door is opened. This operates
the door contact switch which
switches off the heating system. 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".
The cooling fan will continue for a while
after switching the oven off.
Pre-heating the oven
^

^
Place food to be cooked on an
appropriate runner height in the
oven.
^
Turn oven selector to required
function.
The following will light up:
–
recommended temperature in the
oven display,
–
the indicator light in the "+/–" button.
Pre-heating is only necessary in a few
cases e.g.:
With "Fan Heat":
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":
Pre-heat the oven where a fairly long
cooking time is required and a deep
colour and good rise are needed.
21
Oven - use
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 oven function selector to the
^
required function.
Select the required temperature.
^
When the required temperature has
^
been reached: Put the food into the
oven.
Cancelling the 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
"e" symbol is lit.
–
If a minute minder time has been
entered, the "l " symbol is lit and the
display shows the time counting
down.
Energy-save function
(Top oven - only)
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 indicate that
the energy-save function is in
operation.
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
had been chosen.
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 goes on automatically
when an oven function has been
selected and the oven door is opened.
If preferred, you can set the oven
lighting to come on automatically as
soon as an oven function has been
selected, (see the Section on
"Programmable functions").
