Description of the appliance

Features

Oven controls

In addition to operating the various
cooking programmes to bake, roast
and grill, the electronic controls on
models with a clock/timer also offer the
following features:

Clock display

–

Minute minder

–

Timer to automatically switch cooking

–

programmes off, or on and off

– Settings can be customised

Cooling system

As soon as the oven is switched on, a
cooling fan is automatically engaged.
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 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 on
the oven housing unit.
When the temperature in the oven has
fallen sufficiently, the cooling fan will
switch off automatically.

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces are all treated
with PerfectClean enamelling:

Oven interior

–

Runners

–

Baking tray

–

Grill pan

–

Rack

–
PerfectClean enamelled surfaces have

very good anti-stick properties and are
much easier to keep clean than
conventional enamel, if cleaned
regularly.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.

Catalytic enamelled surfaces

The back panel, roof liner and side
liners (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 keep
inaccessible areas of the oven clean.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.

Retractable controls

Depending on model, the controls are
retractable at the 0 position.

Press them to release or retract them.

Do not push them in from any other
position as this would break them.

8

Description of the appliance

Oven interior lighting

The oven lighting is located either in the
oven roof or in the right-hand side
panel, depending on model.

Catalyser

Models H 4160 and H 4260 have a
catalyser fitted into the oven’s
ventilation system.

It filters fat from the escaping vapours
and thus reduces cooking smells.

Energy efficiency rating
according to EN 50304

These appliances are rated energy
efficiency class A in accordance with
EN 50304. Tests were carried out using:

– Fan plus on ovens H 4120 to H 4250.
– Gentle bake on ovens H 4160 and

H 4260.

Accessories

The following accessories are supplied
with this oven.

These and other accessories are also
available to order from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or your Miele Dealer.
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 them out.

9

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 or 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.

Anti-splash tray

(depending on model)

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

(depending on model)

The handle makes it easier to take the
baking tray, grill pan and rack out of the
oven, or to put them into it.
The two prongs at the top go inside the
pan, rack or tray and the U-shaped
supports underneath.

The anti-splash tray should be placed
in the deep-sided grill pan when grilling

10

Hob

For models with integrated hob controls
a separate set of instructions is
supplied with the hob, covering its
installation and use.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which
can be recycled. Please contact your
dealer, your local waste collection
centre or scrap merchant about
potential recycling schemes.

Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
See the appropriate section in the
"Warning and Safety instructions".

Never open the casing of the
appliance.

12

Warning and Safety instructions

Installation, maintenance and

repair work may only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with national and
local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.

During installation, maintenance

and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains
electricity supply. The appliance is only
completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:

– the mains fuse is withdrawn,
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable),

– or it is switched off at the isolator.

Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until after maintenance
or repair work has been carried out.

Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.

Use

Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the oven.

Great care should be taken to

ensure that small children do not
touch the appliance when it is being
used. Children’s skin is far more
sensitive to high temperatures than that
of adults.
External parts of the oven such as the
door glass, handle vent and control
panel can become quite hot.

Keep all pans out of the reach of
children. Turn pan handles inwards
away from the edge of the hob. Danger
of burning or scalding.

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 to the oven to reach these
could be seriously injured.

Use oven gloves when placing

food in the oven, turning or
removing it and when adjusting oven
shelves etc. in a hot oven.
When working with "Conventional"
heating or when grilling, the element in
the roof of the oven and the roof liner
become very hot, and there is a danger
of being burnt.

13

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures

and could damage the oven.

Do not heat up unopened tins or

jars of food in the oven. Pressure
can build up and they may explode,
resulting 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. 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. Any moisture
in the food could lead to corrosion
damage in the oven. This also prevents
the food from drying out.

If you wish to complete a cooking

process using the residual heat in
the oven, do not switch the appliance
off.
Leave the function selector at the
position set and turn the temperature
selector to the lowest setting.

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 corrosion in the oven.
On models fitted with a catalyser, it

could also result in deposits remaining
in the catalyser, causing an unpleasant
smell to arise the next time the
appliance is switched on.

Bake larger frozen products, 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, and this distortion will increase
with each subsequent use.
Frozen food such as oven chips or
croquette potatoes can, however, be
cooked on the baking tray or in the grill
pan.

14

Warning and Safety instructions

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 heat A or Gentle bake
x.
Do not place a dish, tin, baking tray or
grill pan on the floor of the oven.

If using a grill pan made by a different
manufacturer, make sure that there is a
gap of at least 6 cm between the
bottom of the pan and the floor of the
oven.
If these instructions are not observed
the bottom heat will be blocked. This
can cause permanent damage to the
floor of the oven.

Protective aluminium foil panels are

available in retail outlets which are
supposed to protect the oven cavity
from soiling and reduce the need for
cleaning. If used, cooking and baking
times will increase considerably.
They can also cause damage to the
appliance (e.g. by blocking the heat).

General notes

Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil
or 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
could catch fire.

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 70 °C for
a minimum of 10 minutes. Therefore
when cooking or reheating foods, e.g.
poultry, it is particularly important that
food is fully cooked through. If in doubt
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
It is important that the heat is allowed to
spread evenly throughout the food
being cooked. This can be achieved by
stirring and/or turning the food during
cooking.

Warning and Safety instructions

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. Danger of
electric shock.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean

the appliance. The steam could
reach electrical components and cause
a short circuit.

If using alcohol in your recipes,

high temperatures can cause the
alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite
on the hot heating elements.
Alcohol should be burnt off before the
dish is placed in the oven to avoid this
danger.

In countries where there are areas

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 may 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. If
connected to an isolator switch,
disconnection should be carried out by
an electrician to avoid the risk of
accidents.

The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Before using for the first time

Cleaning and heating up for
the first time

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.

See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.

Before using the oven for the first time

take all accessories out of the oven

–

and wash them.

– then heat the oven up once with

nothing in it. New ovens have slight
smell on first use and this will
dissipate the smells before you use it
to cook any food.

Before heating it up it is a good idea

^

to wipe the oven out with a damp
cloth first. This way any dust or bits of
packaging that may have
accumulated in the oven cavity
during storage and unpacking will be
removed.

Press and release the function

^

selector and the temperature
selector.

Turn the function selector to Rapid

^

heat-up Ä.
Use the temperature selector to

^

select the highest temperature.

Heat the empty oven up for at least
an hour.
Please ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated during this operation.
Close doors to other rooms to
prevent the smell spreading
throughout the house.

18

On models with a clock/timer, you can
set this procedure to finish
automatically, see the appropriate
section.

^

Wait until the oven has cooled down
to room temperature.

Then wipe out the oven cavity with a
solution of hot water and mild
detergent and then dry it thoroughly
with a clean cloth.

Leave the oven door open until the
oven interior is completely dry.

Description of the oven systems

Fan plus Y

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.

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 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.
When using Fan plus, you can bake
and roast on different levels at the same
time.
Lower temperatures can be used than
with Conventional heating, as the Fan
plus system circulates the heated air
throughout the oven.

Rapid heat-up Ä

With Rapid heat-up, the grill element,
bottom heating element and fan all
switch on at the same time so that the
oven reaches the required temperature
as quickly as possible. The temperature
indicator light will go out when the
pre-selected temperature has been
reached. The function selector must
then be turned to the function you wish
to use for cooking.

Conventional A

With the conventional method of
heating, radiant heat is directed onto
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.

Gentle bake x

With Gentle bake the grill and the
bottom heating elements will be
switched on.

It is suitable for soufflés and gratins
where a crispy finish is required.

Grill n

Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed before
grilling.

The grill is ready for use when it glows
red a few minutes after being switched
on.

Grill with the oven door closed.

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.

Grill with the oven door closed.

Rapid heat-up

Rapid heat-up Ä can be used to:

pre-heat the oven,

–

heat up ready-meals.

–

Pre-heating the oven

Most dishes can be placed in a cold
oven. They will then make use of the
heat produced during the heating-up
phase.

It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven
in certain instances.

With Fan plus Y
– Pre-heat the oven for foods which

cook in less than 20 minutes and for
foods such as puff pastries and
yeast mixtures where instant heat is
required to make them rise quickly.

With Conventional A heating
– Pre-heat the oven where a fairly long

cooking time is required and a deep
colour and good rise are needed.

To pre-heat the oven:

Select Rapid heat-up Ä.

the required temperature.

The oven will start to heat up.

When the temperature indicator

^

light y goes out for the first time, set
the oven function you require for
continued cooking or baking, and
place the food in the oven.

Cooking ready-meals

Rapid heat-up Ä can be used on its
own for cooking ready-meals such as
pizzas, lasagne, garlic bread etc. See
"Cooking ready meals".

When using Rapid heat-up to cook
ready meals you do not need to change
to another function during cooking.

Rapid heat-up Ä is not suitable for
traditional baking or cooking.

Do not use Rapid heat-up Ä to
pre-heat the oven when baking
delicate items such as pizzas,
biscuits and small cakes. Otherwise
they will get brown too quickly.

Baking

The following settings are
recommended for baking:

Fan plus Y

–

Conventional A

–

Bakeware

For the best baking results make sure
that you chose bakeware in a material
suitable for the particular heating
system.

Fan plus Y

Most types of heat-resistant tins or
dishes are suitable.

Conventional A

The following baking tins give an even,
brown result: Dark metal, aluminium or
enamel tins with a matt finish. Heat
resistant glass and ceramic 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, resulting 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 plus Y

Several shelf levels can be used at

the same time for baking. The
recommended positions are:

1 tray = 1st shelf level from

the bottom

2 trays = 1st and 3rd shelf level from

the bottom

3 trays = 1st, 2nd and, 4th shelf level

from the bottom

When baking moist biscuits, cakes
or bread, do not bake on more than
two levels.

Remember to remove the roasting
filter from in front of the opening on
the back wall. Otherwise baking
times will be longer and results
uneven.

With Fan plus Y, the baking
temperature required is lower than
with Conventional A. Refer to the
baking charts and cookery book
supplied with your oven.

31

Baking

Conventional A

Only use dark baking tins with a
matt finish.
Bright, shiny tins give an uneven or
pale result, and in some cases the
cakes might not cook properly.

Place tins centrally on the rack on shelf

level 1 or 2.

Older recipes and cookery books

New guidelines (German standard
DIN 44547 has been replaced by
European standard EN 60350) have led
to slight adjustments in oven
temperature settings.

The recipes in the cookery book
supplied with your oven include these
new adjusted temperatures for cooking
with Conventional heat.

However, if using an older recipe or
cookbook, set the oven temperature for
Conventional 10° C lower than that
recommended.
The cooking duration does not need to
be changed.

Tips on baking

Refer to the baking chart and the
cookery book supplied with this
oven for suggestions of
temperatures, shelf levels 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.

32

Frozen food

When baking frozen products such as
cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the
lowest temperature quoted on the
manufacturer’s packaging. Place such
items on baking parchment directly on
the 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.

Frozen foods such as oven chips or
potato croquettes can be cooked on a
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.

Baking

Handling and preparing food
correctly is essential for maintaining
good health.

Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc
until they are golden brown. Do not
overcook them.

To achieve even results without
over-browning the food

always select the lowest tempera

–

ture 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. In some cases food might
not cook properly.

– 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.

-

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

Always remove all accessories, trays
and racks which are not being used,
when using the oven to get the best
cleaning results and to keep
cleaning of the trays to the minimum.

Roasting

We recommend using Fan plus Y for
roasting.

Conventional A can also be used.

Fan plus Y:
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.

We recommend roasting in a covered
pot , as

– this ensures that sufficient stock

remains for making gravy.

–

and the oven stays cleaner, too.

Roasting containers

Any heat-proof containers can be used:
roasting pans with a lid, made from
earthenware, cast iron, ovenproof china
or glass, and roasting foil are all
suitable.

Miele also offer Gourmet oven dishes
with lids which are ideal for roasting
and cooking larger quantities of food.

Place the roasting pan on the rack into
a cold oven.

Exception:
Pre-heat at the temperature suggested
when roasting beef.

Shelf levels

Use shelf level 1 for roasting.
Exception:

With Conventional A use shelf level 2
for

- poultry up to 1 kg,

- roast beef,

- and fish.

36

Roasting

Temperature

Please refer to 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.

With Fan plus Y, a temperature
setting of 40 °C lower than for
Conventional A is sufficient.

For cuts which weigh 3 kg or more,
select a temperature approx. 10 °C
lower than that given in the roasting
chart.
Roasting will take longer at the lower
temperature, but will be more even.

For roasting directly on the rack,
select a temperature that is about 20 °C
lower than for roasting in a covered pot.

When roasting on the rack, place the
rack and anti-splash tray over the grill
pan.

Older recipes and cookery books

New guidelines (German standard
DIN 44547 has been replaced by
European standard EN 60350) have led
to slight adjustments in oven
temperature settings.

The recipes in the cookery book
supplied with your oven include these
new adjusted temperatures for cooking
with Conventional heat.

However, if using an older recipe or
cookbook, set the oven temperature for
Conventional 10° C lower than that
recommended.
The cooking duration does not need to
be changed.

37

Roasting

Calculating the roasting time

The roasting time will depend on the
type of meat, the size and thickness of
the cut.

The traditional British method is to allow
15 to 20 minutes per lb/454 grammes,
according to type of meat, plus approx.
20 minutes, adjusting the length of time
as roasting proceeds to obtain the
required result. Alternatively, multiply
the height of the joint by the time per
cm for the type of meat:

Beef/venison . . . . . . . . . 15-18 mins/cm

Pork/lamb/veal . . . . . . . . 12-15 mins/cm

Sirloin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8-10 mins/cm

e.g. Beef 8 cm thick
8 x 15 minutes per cm = 120 mins

Tips on roasting

Browning only occurs towards the end

of roasting time. Remove the lid about
halfway through the roasting time if a
more intensive browning result is
required.

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.

Pot roasting

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

/8litre of water when roasting a large,
lean joint of meat (2-3 kg) or roasting
poultry with a high fat content.

Roasting on the rack

Place the anti-splash tray in the grill
pan and then place the rack on top.
Season the meat and place on the rack.

Roasting poultry

For a crisp finish, baste the poultry ten
minutes before the end of cooking time
with slightly salted water.

Frozen meat

Do not roast deep frozen meat. Meat
should be thoroughly defrosted
before roasting.

Grilling

Grill with the oven door closed.
If you grill with the door open, hot air
will escape from the oven instead of
being cooled automatically by the
cooling fan. Control elements on the
oven could get hot. Danger of
burning.

with salt before grilling as this draws
the juices out.

Add a little oil if necessary. Do not use
other types of fat as they can get too
dark, burn and cause smoke.

Place the grill pan under the grill and
shut the door.

For thin cuts use shelf level 3 or 4
For thicker cuts use shelf level 1 or 2

Grilling

Temperature

For thin cuts of meat
(e. g. chops or steak). . . maximum (n)

For grilling larger items,

(e. g. rolled meat, poultry) . . . . . 240 °C

See the grill chart for more information.
To grill thicker pieces of food more

gradually after an initial high
temperature, continue grilling at a lower
temperature setting to allow the food to
cook through to the centre.

Grilling times

– Flat pieces of fish and meat usually

take about 6 – 8 minutes per side,
depending on their texture.

– Thicker pieces take a little longer.
– With rolled meats allow approx.

10 minutes per cm diameter.

Tips on grilling

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.

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”).

If there is some resistance the inside

–

will be pink (“medium”).

– If there is great resistance, it is

throughly cooked through (“well
done”).

You can also use the oven for
defrosting.

To defrost select Fan plus Y with a
maximum temperature of 50 °C.

For defrosting meat and delicate foods,
use the lowest possible temperature
(30 °C).

Please note:

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.

Defrosting

Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.

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.

–

Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently soft to
take herbs and seasoning.

Cooking

We recommend using the following
oven settings:

Fan plus Y

Cooking containers made of ovenproof

glass and china, and earthenware are
all suitable. They should have
heat-resistant handles and knobs.

Tips

Cover dishes which are to be cooked

in their own juice and/or steam, e.g.
potatoes or vegetables, so that they do
not dry out. If you do not have a lid, use
aluminium foil or damp cooking
parchment.

Cook without a lid when a crusty finish
or topping is required, e.g. for meat or
au gratin dishes.

You can also stack one pot on top of
another. Invert the lid of the bottom pot
and place the top pot on it. Place any
dish which needs to be browned on
top.

44

Cooking ready-meals

The Rapid heat-up Ä function can be
used on its own for cooking
ready-meals (see chart) such as pizza,
lasagne, garlic bread, etc.

Select Rapid heat-up Ä.

You do not need to select another
function for cooking.

Observe recommended temperatures,
cooking times and position in the oven
given on the manufacturer’s packaging.

Cooking

Only use one level of the oven when
cooking ready-meals using this
function. If more than one shelf level
is required, select Fan plus Y.

Cook frozen desserts and pizza on
baking paper on the rack rather than
on a baking tray or in the grill pan.
Cooking large frozen items on a
baking tray or in the grill pan can
cause the metal to distort. This
distortion would increase with each
subsequent use.
Frozen foods such as oven chips or
croquette potatoes can, however, be
cooked on the baking tray or in the
grill pan.

Cleaning and care

Appliance front and control
panel

Clean the door handle and the control
elements regularly, preferably after
each use. This will help to prevent
grease and other deposits adhering to
surfaces and becoming difficult to
remove.

All external surfaces and controls can

^

be cleaned using warm water with a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
soft sponge or cloth.

Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft

^

cloth.

E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.

To prevent the risk of scratches and
damage to the surface structure of
glass, stainless steel and aluminium
fronted appliances, pay particular
attention to the following cleaning
instructions.

Glass fronted appliances

The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasions.

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

–

or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents,

oven sprays.

–

Aluminium fronted appliances

Aluminium is affected by the way that
light falls on it, by the surrounding
environment and by the angle you
observe it from.

Aluminium surfaces and controls
may suffer discolouration or damage
if soiling, acids or alkaline
substances are left on them for too
long.
Remove these straight away.

The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasions.

Avoid:
–

cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,

–

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

–

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents,

–

stainless steel cleaners,
Avoid:
–

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

–

cleaning agents containing

descaling agents,

–

dishwasher detergent,

–

oven sprays.

47

Cleaning and care

Stainless steel fronted
appliances

The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and abrasion.

Please observe the cleaning
instructions for

stainless steel surfaces,

–

stainless steel coloured controls.

–

Stainless steel surfaces

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a Miele E-Cloth or with a
proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use on
stainless steel. N.B. Do not use
stainless steel cleaning agents on the
controls.

Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,

acids or chlorides,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

Stainless steel coloured controls

The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long. Remove
soiling straight away.

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

acids or chlorides,

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

–

powder cleaners and cream

cleaners,

– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

or sponges which have been

previously used with abrasive

cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaners,
– oven sprays.

–

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.

To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel
can also be used.
Apply sparingly with an even pressure
following the direction of the grain.

48

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.

Baking tray, grill pan, anti-splash tray
(if fitted), racks and runners

The surfaces of these have been
treated with PerfectClean enamel.

Please refer to the section
"PerfectClean" for information on
cleaning and care.

Roasting filter

Clean in a solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid or in the
dishwasher.

Cleaning and care

If cleaned in the dishwasher, results are
better if the filter is placed horizontally
in the basket.
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.

49

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, anti-splash
tray (if fitted), rack and side supports
have been treated with a special type of
enamelling called "PerfectClean".

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!

50

Cleaning and care

Remove the catalytic back panel,
roof liner and side liners (if fitted)
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. a
Vileda sponge), 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.

51

Cleaning and care

Catalytic enamel surfaces

The removable back panel, side panels
(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,
roof liner and side liners (if fitted) must
first be removed from the oven.

52

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.

Take all accessories out of the oven.

^

Turn the oven selector to Fan plus

^

Y.
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.

On ovens with a clock/timer 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 panels 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.

53

Cleaning and care

Oven interior

To make cleaning easier you can

remove the oven door,

–

dismantle the oven door,

–

take out the runners,

–

and take out the back panel, side

–

liners (if fitted) and roof liner.

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.

The oven door is connected to the oven
by hinges.

Open the door fully.

^

To release the locking clamps on the

^

hinges turn them upwards as far as
they will go until they are at an angle.
See illustration.

Do not attempt to take the door off
the hinge guides when it is in a
horizontal position. The guides will
close, and damage the appliance.
Danger of injury.

^ Then lift the door upwards as far as it

will go.

Before removing the door, the locking
clamps on both hinges have to be
released.

54

^ Hold the door securely at both sides

and lift upwards off the hinge guides.

Do not lift the door off by the handle.
The handle could break and
damage the glass.

Make sure that you lift the door off
equally on both sides.

Cleaning and care

To dismantle the oven door

The oven door has seals on all sides to
protect it from moisture ingress.

If, however, condensate has worked its
way in between the glass panes, the
door can be dismantled in order to
clean in between the panes.

Do not use scouring agents, hard
sponges or brushes to clean the
glass panes.
These could damage the surface.

Do not use an oven spray. This will
damage the surface of the
aluminium surrounds.

Ensure that the glass panes are
inserted the correct way round after
cleaning as each side of the pane
has a different coating. Those facing
the oven interior have a
heat-reflective coating.

To avoid the risk of breakage, it is
advisable to place the panes on a
table protected by a soft cloth (e.g.
a towel).

55

Cleaning and care

Always remove the oven door before
dismantling it.

Place the door on a protective

^

surface (e.g. on a table cloth) to
prevent it getting scratched. The
door handle should line up with the
edge of the table. Make sure the
glass lies flat and does not get
broken during cleaning.

Gently lift the inner pane up and out.

^

^

Unscrew the Torx screws, and
remove the guides, trim and seal.

56

^

Pull the pane forwards to remove it.

Take care when doing this to prevent
loosening the sealing strips which are
fixed to the top end of the pane on the
right and left near the guides. These
sealing strips prevent the pane slipping
when it is in its frame.

Clean the glass panes and other

^

parts and then put the oven door
back together again.

^ Push the middle pane into the frame

almost to the end. The material (M-)
number printed on the pane must be
legible in the bottom right hand
corner (see illustration). Fit the
sealing strip into position, then push
the pane in as far as it will go.

Cleaning and care

Fit the side seals for the inner pane in

^

the grooves provided.

^

Insert the inner pane with the printed
text facing downwards.
Be careful that the side seals do not
slip and that the pane is pushed in as
far as possible.

57

Cleaning and care

^ Fit the trim with the seal in front of the

glass panes.

Make sure that the seal is sitting
correctly to prevent any steam
penetrating inside the door.

To refit the door

^ Hold the door securely at both sides

and carefully fit it back onto the hinge
guides.

^

Put the guides back in position, then
tighten the screws in the trim.

58

Make sure that the door goes back
on straight.

Cleaning and care

Open the door fully.

^

Flip both locking clamps back up as

^

far as they will go into a horizontal
position.
Make sure that the notches on the
locking clamps hook into the slots on
the door as illustrated.

It is essential that the locking clamps
lock securely when the door is
re-fitted after cleaning. Otherwise
the door could work loose from the
hinges, resulting in damage to the
door.

To remove the runners

Make sure the oven heating
elements are switched off and cool.
Danger of burning.

^ Pull on the fixing knob to release it.

^

Remove the runners.

Reassemble in the reverse order,
carefully ensuring all parts are correctly
in place.

...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 on
the oven housing unit. When the
temperature has fallen sufficiently, the
fan switches off automatically.
It will switch off sooner if the oven door
is opened partially or fully.

. . . cakes and biscuits are not cooked
properly after following the times
given in the chart

Check whether,

^ the correct temperature was set.
^ 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 was left in front of

the fan when baking with Fan
plus Y. If this was the case, baking
times might need to be lengthened
by approx. 10 to 15 minutes.

63

Problem solving guide

. . . cakes or biscuits are unevenly
browned

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 browning is very uneven, check
when baking with Fan plus Y:

whether the temperature was set too

–

high,
whether the roasting filter was in

–

place,

– whether the correct shelf level 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 shelf level was

used.

. . . spots like rust appear on the
catalytic surfaces

When roasting on the rack, the
circulating air sometimes picks up
spices, which are then deposited on
the oven interior walls. These residues
are not removed by catalytic cleaning,
and should be removed while fresh with
a mild solution of hot water and
washing up liquid applied with a soft
brush.

. . . there has been a power cut and
instead of the time of day, "I2:00" and
triangle V underneath the m symbol
are flashing in the clock/timer display

All pre-set times have been deleted
because of the power cut.

^ Enter the time of day again, and any

other pre-set data.

..."0:00" appears in the clock/timer
display when the Q button has been
used to switch off the buzzer

This is not a fault.
The time of day will reappear shortly.
