Description of the appliance
Features
Electronic controls
In addition to operating the various cooking programmes to bake, roast and grill the electronic controls also of fer the following features:
Clock display
Minute minder
Timer to automatically switch cooking
programmes on and off with auto
matic use made of residual heat – Settings can be customised – System lock, to prevent the appli-
ance being used unintentionally – Safety cut-out
Cooling system
During use the cooling fan will automat­ically come on when a specific temper­ature is reached. The cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven cavity with cool room air before venting it out into the kitchen through vents located between the appliance door and the control panel. The controls and door handle will get slightly warm. They are quite safe to touch.
The cooling fan will continue to run for a while after the oven has been switched off to prevent any humidity building up in the oven, on the control panel or in the oven housing unit. When the temperature in the oven has fallen sufficiently the cooling fan will switch off automatically.
-
-
Door contact switch
There is a door contact switch above the right hand door hinge. If the door is opened during operation, the door contact switch automatically switches off the heating elements, and the fan if a "Fan" setting is being used.
This helps reduce the amount of heat lost from the oven cavity, e.g. when checking food.
PerfectClean treated surfaces
The following surfaces are all treated with PerfectClean enamelling:
– Oven interior – Runners – Baking tray – Grill pan – Wire rack PerfectClean enamelled surfaces have
very good anti-stick properties and are much easier to keep clean than con ventional enamel if cleaned regularly. See "Cleaning and care" for more infor mation.
Catalytic liners
The back panel, roof liner and side lin ers (if fitted) are coated with dark grey catalytic enamel. Soiling from oil and fat is burnt off these surfaces when very high temperatures are used in the oven. This makes it easier to clean inaccessi ble areas of the oven. See "Cleaning and care" for more infor mation.

Description of the appliance
Catalyser
The catalyser is fitted into the oven's ventilation system.
It filters fat from the escaping vapours and thus reduces cooking smells.
The catalyser operates automatically for all functions except "Defrost" and "Lighting".
Energy efficiency rating according to EN 50304
These appliances are rated energy effi­ciency 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.
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.
7
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.
Rotisserie
See "Grilling with the rotisserie" for de­tails.
Roast probe
The roast probe enables the roasting process to be monitored simply and re liably. See "Roasting with the Roast probe" for details.

Description of the appliance
Slide opener
Use the slide opener for lifting off the light cover.
Handle
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 in side the rack, tray or pan and the U-shaped supports underneath.

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 con
­trol 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" heat ing or when grilling, the element in the roof of the oven and the roof liner get very hot, and there is a danger of being burnt.
-

12
Warning and Safety instructions
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 spe cialist 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. High temperatures would damage it.
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 pres sure can build up and they may ex plode. 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 12 kg.
Make sure that nothing gets
trapped between the door and the oven.
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 lead ing 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. It could also result in deposits remain
ing in the catalyser, causing an un pleasant smell to arise the next time the appliance is switched on.

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 distor tion would increase with subsequent use. Deep frozen foods such as oven chips or potato croquettes can be cooked on the baking tray or grill pan.
Never add water to food on a hot
baking tray or grill pan or directly onto food in a hot oven. The steam cre ated could cause serious burns or scalding and the sudden change in temperature can damage the enamel.
Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil when using 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 bot tom of the pan and the floor of the oven.
If these instructions are not observed the bottom heat will be blocked. This can cause permanent damage to the floor of the oven.
-
-
Protective aluminium foil panels are
available in retail outlets which are supposed to protect the oven cavity from soiling and reduce the need for cleaning. If used, cooking and baking times will increase considerably. They can also cause damage to the ap pliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).
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, 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.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could at tack the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Warning and Safety instructions
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 cook ing container. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only de stroyed by thorough cooking at temper atures over 70°C for a minimum of 10 minutes. Therefore when cooking or re heating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particu larly 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.
If using alcohol in your recipes
high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and under adverse circumstances the alcohol can catch light on the hot heating elements. Alco hol should be burnt off before the dish is placed in the oven to avoid this dan ger.

Description of the oven systems
Fan Heat D
This system works by the circulation of heated air.
A fan situated on the back wall of the oven sucks in the air, heats it over a ring element and blows the heated air through the carefully spaced openings in the rear panel of the oven, enabling approx. 20°C lower temperatures to be used than with the Conventional heat ing system.
The oven does not usually need to be pre-heated as the heated air reaches the food straight away.
Exception: Pre-heating may be neces­sary for foods 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 ac tivated 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.
-
Auto Roast E
The oven heats initially to a high tem perature 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 prese lected setting.
If a temperature of at least 140°C is se lected, the "rapid heat-up" feature is ac tivated automatically.
The "Top Heat" heating element switches in to heat the appliance up more rapidly. This saves energy.
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.
If a temperature of at least 150°C is se lected, the "rapid heat-up" feature is ac tivated automatically.
The fan and its heating element switch in to heat the appliance up more rap idly. This saves energy.

Defrost G
Defrost can be operated without heat ing, or at a temperature of up to 50°C. When the defrost system is used with out 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 grill ing.
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.

Grill 1 m
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes with the oven door closed, before grill ing.
The inner part of the upper heating ele ment 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.

If you wish to retain the temperature suggested by the system, this will be automatically adopted when the indica tor light in the "+/–" button goes out and the oven starts heating up.
The actual temperature in the oven is then displayed.
The increase of temperature can be followed in the display until the target temperature is reached.
N.B. with Auto Roast E: the oven heats initially to a high temper ature (230 °C) to seal the meat to keep it succulent and tasty. As soon as this temperature has been reached, the oven temperature auto­matically drops back down to the pre-selected setting. The display, however, will only show the temperature rise until the target or pre-selected temperature is reached!
If the oven door is opened, or if you re­duce the target temperature, the de crease is shown in 1° steps.
