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.

Children should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where an

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.

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.

Baking

The following settings are
recommended for baking:

Fan Heat D

–

Intensive Bake F

–

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, Intensive baking F

Most types of heat-resistant tins or
dishes are suitable, including
thin-walled 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.

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.

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.

Intensive baking F

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

This method of heating is particularly
useful for:

–

dishes that require a moist topping
and crisp base, such as pizzas and
quiche lorraine, or where the base
has not been pre-baked.

32

Place the tin or dish on the baking tray
on the 1st runner from the bottom only.

Baking

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.
Place tins on the wire rack on runner
level 2 or 3 so that they are centrally
positioned in the oven.

Tips on baking

See the Baking Chart and the
Cookbook supplied with this oven
for suggestions of temperatures,
runner heights and times.

Place cakes in rectangular tins with
the longer side across the width of the
oven for optimum heat distribution and
even results.

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.

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

Frozen food

When baking deep frozen products
such as cakes, pizza and baguettes,
use the lowest temperature quoted on

the manufacturer's packaging. Place
such items on baking paper directly on
the wire rack or in the pizza pan (extra
accessory). 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 in the grill pan.
Place these types of frozen foods on
baking parchment and select the
lowest temperature quoted on the
manufacturer's packaging.

Eating food which has been cooked
correctly is important for good health.

Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc
until they are golden brown. Do not
allow them to become dark brown.

To achieve even results without
over-browning the food

–

always select the lowest
temperature given in the
recipe/cooking instructions on the
packaging. Do not set a temperature
higher than that recommended.
Increasing the temperature may
reduce the cooking time, but will lead
to uneven browning, and
unsatisfactory cooking results.

–

Check if the food is cooked at the
end of the shortest time quoted.
To check if a cake is ready, insert a
wooden skewer into the centre.
It is ready if the skewer comes out
clean, without dough or crumbs
sticking to it.

Roasting

We recommend the following settings
for roasting in the oven:

Auto Roast E

–

Conventional A

–

Roasting in a covered pot

– This ensures that sufficient stock

remains for making gravy.
– The oven stays cleaner, too.
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.

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

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

Browning only occurs towards the end
of the roasting time. Remove the lid
about halfway through the roasting time

36

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

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.

37

Roasting with the Roast Probe

Using the roast probe enables the
roasting process to be monitored
simply and reliably.

The tip of the probe measures the core
temperature at the centre of the meat
continuously.
When the pre-selected core
temperature is reached, the oven
heating is automatically switched off.

The roast probe can be used with the
following functions:

Auto Roast E

–

Conventional A

–
– Fan Heat D
– Fan Grill N

Using the roast probe

Please note:
You can place the meat in a pot or on
the rack.
Roasting bags or aluminium foil may
also be used, but only when left open at
the ends. Insert the probe through the
foil or bag into the centre of the meat.

If fat or bone come into contact with the
probe, this can lead to the oven being
switched off too early. Therefore:

do not let the probe touch any

–

bones.
do not insert it into a particularly fatty

–

area of the meat.

If the meat is very heavily marbled with
fat, select the highest core temperature
given in the roasting chart.

The roast probe should not be used for
poultry or game birds as these contain
a lot of bone.

If your oven is fitted with a telescopic
carriage it is best to remove the runners
before using the roast probe.

^

Prepare the meat in the usual way.

^

Insert the probe as far as possible
into the meat.
The tip of the probe must reach the
central area of the meat.

38

Roasting with the Roast Probe

In order to do this:

Press the "e" button.

^

Enter the required temperature with

^

the "+/–" button.

Insert the plug of the roast probe into

^

the socket until you feel it engage.

^ Turn the function selector to the

required oven function.
The following light up:
– the suggested food core

temperature of 60°C appears in the

display,
– the indicator light for the "+/–" button.
If necessary this food core temperature

can be altered with the "+/-" button
according to the type of food being
cooked (see "Oven roasting chart" for a
suitable choice of temperatures) and
can be altered within a range of 20 °C
to 99 °C.

When the light in the "+/–" button goes
out

–

the oven heating switches on.

–

the actual core temperature
appears in the oven display. N.B.
The lowest temperature that can be
displayed is 20 °C, so this will be
shown until the roast probe registers
20 °C.

39

Roasting with the Roast Probe

Time left display

After a certain time the estimated
residual time (i.e. the time left to run),
appears in the oven display. The actual
core temperature is no longer visible
and cannot be called up.

The residual time is calculated from the
oven temperature selected, the
required core temperature and the
pattern of the increasing core
temperature.

The residual time figure first shown is
an estimate. As the cooking process
continues you may see the time left
figure increasing. This is due to the
electronics checking the core
temperature and readjusting the time
left. This is quite normal.

If, when the residual time is displayed:

the oven or core temperature is

–

altered,
or a different oven function is

–

chosen,

this will cancel all the residual time
information, and the actual temperature
will reappear.

If the oven door is held open for some
time, the residual time will be
recalculated.

Cooking time is completed
automatically.

Shortly before the end of cooking time
the oven heating switches off.

The Energy-save function (as
described under "Oven - use") comes
into action. The time left continues to be
shown in the display. If the "p" button is
pressed, "EC" appears.

If the oven temperature is altered or the
core temperature increased, the oven
heating will switch on again.

40

Roasting with the Roast Probe

End of cooking time

As soon as the chosen core
temperature has been reached

an audible tone sounds for approx. 5

–

seconds, and

the "e" symbol flashes.

–
If the audible tone is not cancelled, it

will continue to sound every 5 minutes
for an hour as a reminder that the
process has finished.

The audible tone and the flashing
symbol can be cancelled by:

– Pressing the "e" button.

If the food is not sufficiently cooked,

a new core temperature can be

entered.
– Turning the oven function selector to

"0".

Any temperatures entered will also

be cancelled.

Please note:

The timer can be used to delay the start
of the cooking process.

When finished, cover the meat with
aluminium foil and allow to stand for
approx. 10 minutes. During this time the
core temperature rises another
5 - 10 °C.

If the roast probe is left in the food at
the end of the cooking process, the
oven display will show the core
temperature first rising and then
sinking.

The time taken to roast meat by
temperature using the probe is similar
to that when cooking by time.

You may need to insert the probe in a
different place and start again:

– if the cut of meat was too large (3 kg

or more) for the probe to be inserted
right to the centre.

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

– if the meat is not sufficiently roasted

when the set temperature is reached.

–

If the cut of meat is less than 1 kg the
probe cannot be used to gain an
accurate result and the time required
should be calculated using
traditional methods.

42

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.

Grilling

Grill 2 n (-e)

One oven offers three grill modes, and
the other oven offers two.

Grill 1 m (-e)

For grilling small quantities of thin cuts
and for browning small dishes of food.
The inner part of the grill element is
switched on and glows red.

For grilling large quantities of thin cuts
and for browning food in large dishes.
The whole of the grill element is
switched on. The inner part glows red.
The outer part stays darker than the
inner part but creates sufficient radiant
heat for grilling.

Fan Grill N (-)

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

The roast probe can also be used to
monitor the temperature. See the
appropriate section

The roast probe cannot be used at
the same time as the rotisserie. The
cable would wind round the
rotisserie and be damaged.

43

Grilling

Preparing food for grilling

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

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

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 (-e)

^ Assemble the grill pan, anti-splash

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

thin cuts =

level 4 or 5

thicker cuts =

level 3 or 4

It is best to grill food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that the
grilling 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.

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.

44

Grilling

Grilling with the rotisserie

For grilling thicker items such as stuffed
meat, poultry, kebabs.

Insert the anti-splash tray in the grill
pan and place the roasting filter on the
back wall.

^ Assemble the rotisserie as shown in

the grill pan (with anti-splash tray
fitted).

Put the grill pan holding the

^

assembled rotisserie in the oven,
using the 1st runner from the
bottom.

Meat should be balanced in the middle
to give even rotation.

The rotisserie fits into the motor slot at
the back of the oven.

See the Rotisserie chart for suggested
times and temperatures.

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.

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").

Two special accessories for rotisserie
grilling, a meat and poultry clamp, and
a kebab grilling device are available
from your Miele dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.

^

Turn the oven function selector to the
required grill setting.

–

If there is some resistance, the inside
will be pink ("medium").

–

If there is great resistance, it is
thoroughly cooked through ("well
done").

47

Defrosting

Turn the function selector to

^

"Defrost G"

For defrosting meat and delicate food
we recommend defrosting at room
temperature, i.e. without selecting an
oven temperature.
However, an oven temperature of up to
50°C can be selected.

Where possible remove the

–

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

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.

Roast probe

Wipe with a damp cloth.

Do not put the roast probe into wa­ter, or clean it in the dishwasher. This
would damage it.

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.

50

Rotisserie

Clean in a solution of hot water and a
little washing up liquid. Stubborn soiling
should be soaked first before being
removed.
If necessary a non-abrasive proprietary
stainless steel cleaner may be used.

Cleaning and care

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.

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!

Normal soiling

Clean as soon as possible after each
use with a dishcloth, soft sponge (such
as the Vileda sponge supplied with
ovens in the UK) or a soft nylon brush,
and a solution of hot water and a little
washing up liquid. The longer soiling 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

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 for a couple of minutes only.

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!

51

Cleaning and care

Remove the catalytic back panel,
side liners (if fitted) and roof panel
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.

52

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.

53

Cleaning and care

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.

54

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.

Cleaning and care

^ 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.

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.

^

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

^

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.

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 person in accordance
with national and local safety
regulations to ensure safety. 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 . . .

Depending on the oven there will be
one or two slide access flaps on each
side trim of the oven.

^ Slide the relevant access flap

upwards.

. . . 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 operating lock is activated.

^

the main fuse has blown. Contact a
qualified electrician or the Miele Ser
vice Department.

. . . the heating works, but not the
light.

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.

^ Pull out the metal strip.
^ Replace the halogen lamp:

12 V, 20 W,

-

heat resistant up to 300°C, G4
socket, Osram, Type 64428.

60

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.

Correcting minor faults

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 heat D" or "Intensive Bake

F" or was in place for "Auto Roast
E". In this case baking times might

be lengthened by 10 to 15 minutes.

. . . cakes or biscuits are unevenly
browned.

. . . 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 been 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.

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.

Check whether,

^

the correct temperature was set.

61

Correcting minor faults

. . . 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 and a soft
brush.

. . . "F" and a number appear in the
oven display.

This combination indicates a fault
^ If "F3" appears the core temperature

(roast) probe has a fault.
Remove the probe from its socket
and the message will disappear.

^ If "F6" appears the oven has

automatically switched itself off
during use. This is a safety feature to
protect the oven if it has been
operating for an exceedingly long
period. The length of time depends
on the oven function selected.
The oven can be used again immedi
ately by simply turning the oven
function selector to "0" and then
entering the process again.

^

If "F9" appears in the display, this
may mean that the maximum
temperature of the appliance has
been exceeded.
The appliance automatically switches
itself off temporarily. As soon as the
temperature has fallen to an
acceptable level the fault message
disappears. The appliance switches
itself on again automatically.
If this fault message occurs

repeated-ly, please inform the Ser
vice dept. Please quote the fault
message.

If any other fault message appears

–

in the display, this will need a service
visit. Please quote the fault message.

. . . 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 "f" and ")" at the same time.
"12:00" appears in the display field.

. . . the time of day cannot be re-set
after a power cut.

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

. . . the energy-save function is not
activated when cooking with the
roast probe or the timer.

­This is not a fault.
Certain conditions must be fulfilled before
the system controlling the energy-save
function comes into operation.
Sometimes these do not occur.

. . . the residual time indicator is not
activated when cooking with the
roast probe.

This is not a fault.
Certain conditions must be fulfilled
before the system controlling residual
time comes into operation. Sometimes
these do not occur.
