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".

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.

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.

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 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.

Description of the appliance

Roast probe

(depending on model)

The roast probe enables the roasting process to be monitored simply and re liably. See "Roasting with the roast probe" for details.

Anti-splash tray

(depending on model)

Telescopic carriage

(depending on model)

When pushing the baking trays, grill pan / oven tray or rack into the oven, make sure that the telescopic carriage is pushed completely in.

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.

If you wish to use only the lowest runner level for cooking, the side rails can be taken out.

This has the advantage of: –

making more space available inside the oven, for larger roasting tins.

–

keeping the side rails clean.

Description of the appliance

Rotisserie

(depending on model)

See "Grilling with the rotisserie" for de tails.

Handle

(depending on model)

Lever

Use the lever for lifting off the halogen lamp cover.

Catalyser

Depending on model your appliance may be fitted with a catalyser. The catalyser is built in to the oven's cooling system. The catalyser filters fatty vapours and reduces food smells.

Energy efficiency rating according to EN 50304

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.

These appliances are rated energy effi ciency class B in accordance with EN

50304. Tests were carried out using the "Conventional" oven function with the catalyser switched off.

Hob use and installation

For "E" models (hobs with integrated

hob controls) a separate set of instruc tions is supplied with the hob which covers its use and installation.

Caring for the environment

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 current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or re pair 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 assess ment 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 be

come 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.

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.

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 15 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.

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 be ing 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.

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).

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 insula tion 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.

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 unus able. Switch off and disconnect it from the power supply, cut off the cable di

rectly behind the appliance and render

any plug useless. This should be done by a competent person.

The manufacturer cannot be held lia ble for damage caused by non-com pliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Before using for the first time

After installation and before using the oven for the first time:

Set the clock.

–

Switch the catalyser on.

–

Clean the appliance.

–

Heat the oven up with nothing in it.

–

New appliances have a slight smell on first use and this procedure will dissipate the smells before you use the oven to cook any food.

Setting the clock

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 buttons "f" and ")" once at

the same time.

The following light up

"12:00" in the display,

– – the "+/–" button indicator light.

^ While the indicator light between the

"+" and "–" buttons is still lit up, enter the time of day in hours:minutes using the "+" or "–" buttons. The display is set as standard for a 24 clock.

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.

Before using for the first time

Switching on the catalyser

Your appliance has a catalyser built-in to the ventilation system. When switched on, the catalyser re moves fat particles from the air circulat ing in the oven and also reduces cook ing smells.

The oven is delivered with the catalyser switched off (standard factory setting).

To switch the catalyser on please follow the instructions given in the section "Al tering oven settings" (Standard setting

02) of your operating instructions.

Cleaning the appliance

Oven interior

Before use please remove – any stickers from the floor of the

oven, baking trays, grill pan etc.

– any cork spacers at the sides

above the oven cavity.

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".

While the indicator light for the "+/–"

button is still on, alter the oven temper ature.

^ Select the highest temperature

(250 °C) with the "+" button.

The timer can also be used to set the finish time.

Ensure the room is well ventilated during this process.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Recommended temperature

As soon as a heating system is selected, the recommended tempera- ture for that system appears in the oven display and the oven heating co mes on.

* the initial boosted temperature is

approx. 230°C, continuation temperature 160°C

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 temperature (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!

The following temperatures are set at the factory:

Fan Heat . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 160°C

Oven - use

Using the oven

Place food on an appropriate runner

level in the oven. Turn the oven function selector to the

required setting.

The following will light up:

the recommended temperature in the

–

oven display, and the indicator light between the "–"

–

and "+" buttons.

Whilst this light is on, you can change the recommended temperature with the "+" and "–" buttons.

Each press of a button increases the time you have in which to input the temperature.

As soon as the indicator light between the "+" and "–" buttons has gone out the oven heating switches on.

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.

At the end of the cooking time take the food out of the oven and switch it off.

Altering the temperature

If the temperature recommended by the system is not suitable, it can be altered according to oven function within the following range:

Fan Heat. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30-250°C

Auto Roast . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100-230°C

Top Heat . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30-250°C

Conventional. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30-280°C

Bottom Heat . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100-250°C

Defrost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30-50°C

Intensive bake . . . . . . . . . . . . 50-250°C

Fan grill. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50-260°C

Grill 1 (small) . . . . . . . . . . . . 200-300°C

Grill 2 (large). . . . . . . . . . . . . 200-300°C

In order to do this:

^ Press the "p" button.

Enter the required temperature with the "+/–" button, when the light be tween the two buttons is lit up.

Turning the function selector to "0" can cels all settings and the symbols in the display go out.

However, if the roast probe is still en gaged in its socket the "e" symbol will contine to show in the display.

If a minute minder time has been en tered, the "l" symbol is lit and the dis play shows the time counting down.

Oven - use

Entering your own recommended temperature

If you frequently work with a tempera ture which differs from the factory rec ommended one, it is also possible to enter your own recommended tempera ture. (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.

Rapid heat-up

With the "Fan Heat D", "Auto Roast E" and "Conventional A" heating systems, "rapid heat-up" is switched on automati cally 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 when the temperature is later increased.

To save in memory press the "p" but ton until the audible tone is heard.

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 pro grammed temperatures are lost and must be re-entered.

Exception: if the temperature is in creased before the required tempera ture is reached, "rapid heat-up" remains switched on.

Oven - use

To switch off "rapid heat-up"

For some dishes it may be desirable to switch off "rapid heat-up" (pizza, bis cuits, small cakes).

Select the oven system and tempera

ture for the cooking process.

"Rapid heat-up" can be switched off

as soon as the indicator light be tween the "+" and "-" button has gone out and the actual temperature ap pears in the display.

^ 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 a programme.

"Rapid heat-up" can be permanently switched off if you do not want it (see section on "Altering oven settings, Pro grammable function 06").

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 min-

utes with the oven door closed before placing food under the grill.

To pre-heat

^ Turn the function selector to the re-

quired function.

Select the required temperature.

When the required temperature has been reached: Put the food into the oven.
