To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner.

Correct application

This oven is not designed for

commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and for use in similar working and residential environments such as:

Shops

–

Offices and showrooms

–

and by residents in establishments such as:

Hostels and guest houses

–

It is intended for domestic use only

to cook food, and in particular to bake, roast, grill, cook, defrost and dry food. Any other use is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

This oven is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it correctly by a person responsible for their safety.

Warning and safety instructions

Safety with children

This appliance is not a toy! To

prevent the risk of injury do not let children play with the appliance or its controls.

Older children may only use the

oven when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

Great care should be taken to

ensure that 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, control panel and the vent become quite hot.

Technical safety

Installation, maintenance and

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

Before installation, check the

appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Warning and safety instructions

Before connecting the oven to the

mains supply, make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a competent person if in doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used when it has been built in.

Never open the housing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.

During installation, maintenance and

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

the mains fuse is disconnected,

–

the screw-out fuse is removed (in

–

countries where this is applicable),

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.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the supply cord is damaged it

must be replaced by a Miele approved service technician to avoid a hazard.

This appliance may only be used in

mobile installations if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

In 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 guarantee.

Warning and safety instructions

Correct use

Caution! Danger of burning.

High temperatures are produced by the oven.

Use oven gloves when placing food

in the oven, turning or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Be very careful that you do not burn yourself on the top heating/grill element.

Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil or fats, as these are a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.

Do not exceed the recommended

grilling times when using the "Grill Y"/ "Fan grill \" functions. Grilling for too long can cause food to dry out and even in some circumstances to self-ignite.

Do not use "Grill Y" / "Fan grill \"

to finish baking part-cooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Fire hazard! Use "Fan plus U" or "Conventional V" instead.

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.

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, leave the oven at the function selected and select the lowest temperature for that function. Do not switch the appliance off until the food has been removed. Increased moisture in the oven could cause condensation to form which could lead to

– corrosion in the oven compartment. – damage to the control panel, worktop

and surrounding kitchen furniture.

Never line the floor of the oven with

aluminium foil when using "Conventional V", "Intensive bake O", "Gentle bake K" or "Rapid heat-up S". This would cause a build-up of heat which could damage the floor of the oven. For this reason do not place a dish, tin or baking tray directly on the oven floor.

If using a tray made by a different manufacturer, make sure that there is a gap of at least 6 cm between the bottom of the tray and the floor of the appliance.

Warning and safety instructions

Never add water to food on a hot

baking tray 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.

Always ensure that food is suitably

cooked or reheated. 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.

If using plastic containers for

cooking, they must be declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an oven. Other types of plastic containers melt at high temperatures, and could damage the oven.

Do not lean or sit on an open oven

door or place heavy items on it. Make sure that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment. This could damage the oven. The oven door can support a maximum load of 15 kg.

Do not use the appliance to heat up

the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

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

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.

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 should 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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Oven controls

The oven controls are used for selecting the various cooking programmes for baking, roasting and grilling.

Appliances with a clock/timer also feature the following:

a time of day display,

–

a minute minder,

–

an automatic switch-off procedure for

–

cooking processes.

Cooling system

A cooling fan will come on automatically when a cooking programme is started. 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.

PerfectClean 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 (if fitted) and side panels (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.

See "Cleaning and care" for more information.

Retractable controls

The controls are retractable at the 0 position. To release or retract a control simply press and release it.

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

–

Universal tray

The control must be at the 0 or the 12 o'clock position in order to release or retract it. If it is not you will damage it!

Energy efficiency rating according to EN 50304

This appliance is rated efficiency class A in accordance with EN 50304. Tests were carried out using "Fan plus U" without catalytic side panels or roof liner fitted.

Guide to the appliance

Accessories

(depending on model)

The following accessories are supplied with this oven.

These and other accessories are also available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Department, your Dealer or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com. See "Optional accessories"" further on in this booklet for more details.

Universal tray and rack

The universal tray and rack have non-tip safety notches which prevent them being pulled right out when they only need to be partially pulled out.

Anti-splash insert

The anti-splash tray should be placed in the universal tray 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 (depending on model)

When pushing the tray and rack back in, always ensure that the safety notches are at the rear of the oven (see illustration).

The universal tray and rack can then only be taken out of the oven by raising them upwards and then pulling them out.

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

oven front.

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 can give off a slight smell on first use. Doing this will dissipate the smells before you use it to cook 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.

Please ensure the room is well ventilated during this operation. Close doors to other rooms to prevent the smell spreading throughout the house.

^ Wait until the oven has cooled down.

^ Then wipe out the oven cavity with a

solution of hot water and a mild detergent and then dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Baking tips

Please refer to the baking chart for recommended temperature ranges, shelf levels and durations.

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

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

Temperature, baking duration

Bakeware

Material

UOMost types of heat-resistant tins

or dishes are suitable.

V Use baking tins made from dark

metal or enamel or from aluminium with a matt finish. Heat resistant glass and ceramic dishes can also be used.

Bright, shiny metal tins result in uneven or poor browning and in some cases cakes might not cook properly.

To achieve even results without over-browning the food

– always select the lowest

temperature given in the chart. 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.

Baking parchment

Because of its PerfectClean anti-stick surface the universal tray does not need to be greased or lined with baking parchment for baking. Baked goods are easily removed when done.

Baking parchment is only necessary when baking:

–

Anything with a high salt content (e. g. pretzels, bread sticks), because sodium can damage the PerfectClean surface.

–

Meringues or biscuits with a high egg-white content, because they are more likely to stick.

Baking tips

Universal tray

When baking cakes with fresh fruit toppings and tall sponge cakes place

the tin in the universal tray to catch any spillages and keep the oven cleaner.

Retangular tins

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

Shelf levels

The shelf levels are counted from the bottom of the oven upwards (1 = lowest, 4 = highest).

Trays Shelf levels *

U 11

2 1 and 3

3 1,2and4**

O 1 1 or 2

V 1 1 or 2

Frozen food

When baking frozen products such as cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the lowest temperature quoted on the manufacturer's packaging. Place them on baking parchment on the rack itself or in the pizza pan (see "Optional accessories"). Placing them on the universal tray can cause the metal to distort. This distortion would increase with subsequent use.

Small items of frozen food such as oven chips or potato croquettes can be cooked on the universal tray. Place them on baking parchment and select the lowest temperature quoted on the manufacturer's packaging. Turn several times during cooking.

* Always use the rack on shelf level 1

for cakes in tins.

** When baking moist cakes, bread etc

do not use more than two trays at the same time.

Pre-heating

Generally not required Place the pot on the rack in a cold oven.

Temperature

Please refer to the roasting chart.

Roasting time

Please refer to the roasting chart

We recommend roasting in a covered pot, as

this ensures that sufficient stock remains for

–

making gravy. the oven stays cleaner than with open roasting.

–

When using "Conventional V" for poultry up to 1 kg, beef/fillet, and fish use shelf level 2.

Pre-heating is only required when roasting beef/fillet.

– Do not select a higher temperature than that

suggested. The meat will become brown, but will not be cooked properly.

– With "Fan plus U", a temperature of 20 °C less

than for "Conventional V" 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.

To calculate the roasting time: 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.

Roasting tips

Useful tips

Browning

Browning only occurs towards the end of the roasting time. Remove the lid about halfway through the roasting time if a more intensive browning result is desired.

Standing time

At the end of the programme, 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.

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 time

Please refer to the Grill chart.

For grilling thin cuts and for browning food. For grilling larger items, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.

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

before grilling.

– For thin cuts of meat

(e. g. chops or steak) maximum (Y)

– For grilling larger items,

(e. g. rolled meat, poultry) 240 °C

– Do not select a higher temperature than that suggested.

The meat will become brown, but will not be cooked properly.

–

Flat pieces of fish and meat usually take6–8 minutes per side. Thicker pieces take a little longer.

–

With rolled meats allow approx. 10 minutes per cm diameter.

–

Most items should be turned half way through cooking.

Grilling tips

Preparing food for grilling

Clean, wipe dry 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. Do not use other types of fat as they can get too dark, burn and cause smoke.

Clean 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

Useful tips

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.

To grill thicker pieces of food more gradually after an initial high temperature, continue grilling at a lower temperature setting or use a lower shelf runner to allow the food to cook through to the centre.

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").

Assemble the rack and anti-splash tray (if available) on the universal tray as illustrated.

Place the food on the rack.

Select the required function and set the temperature.

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

Place the tray and rack under the grill and shut the door.

Most items should be turned half way through cooking.

Defrosting

The "Defrost P" function uses the fan to circulate air at room temperature.

Please note:

Where possible remove the

–

packaging and put the food to be defrosted on the universal tray or into a suitable dish.

When defrosting poultry, put it on the

–

rack over the universal tray 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 poisoning.

– Fish does not need to be fully

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

Defrosting times

The time needed for defrosting depends on the type and weight of the food, and at what temperature it was deep frozen. The following chart is for guidance only. It is important to manually check the food to ensure it is thoroughly defrosted.

Chicken, 800 g ..........90-120 min.

Meat, 500 g..............60-90 min.

Meat, 1,000 g ...........90-120 min.

Sausages, 500 g..........30-50 min.

Fish, 1000 g .............60-90 min.

Strawberries, 300 g .......30-40 min.

Cake, 500 g .............20-30 min.

Bread, 500 g.............30-50 min.

Do not refreeze food once it has

thawed.

Cooking

Cooking ready meals

We recommend using "Fan plus U".

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

Appliance front

Cleaning and care

The external surfaces of the appliance are susceptible to scratching. Scratches on glass surfaces could even cause a breakage in certain circumstances. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the external surfaces.

To prevent damage to your appliance when cleaning, do not use:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

ammonia, acids or chlorides,

Remove any soiling immediately. If this is not done, it might become impossible to remove and could cause the surface to alter or discolour.

Clean the front using a damp Miele microfibre E-cloth or with a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. Then dry with a soft cloth.

– cleaning agents containing

descaling agents,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

–

Cleaning and care

Accessories

Universal tray, anti-splash insert (if applicable)

The surface has been treated with PerfectClean enamel.

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

Rack, runners

Use hot water and a little washing up liquid, or a non-scouring stainless steel cleaning agent.

Oven interior

Allow the oven to cool down before cleaning. Danger of burning.

The oven interior should be cleaned after each use. If this is not done, subsequent soiling from baking and roasting will become worse and make cleaning harder. In extreme cases soiling will be impossible to remove or even cause damage to the surface material.

The back panel, side panels and roof

liner are coated with a dark grey catalytic enamel.

See the cleaning instructions for "Catalytic enamelled surfaces".

To make cleaning easier

remove the oven door,

–

dismantle the door,

–

take out the shelf runners,

–

remove the catalytic enamelled back

–

panel, roof liner and side panels. lower the top heating/grill element.

–

Instructions for doing so are given further on in this section.

Seal and inside of the oven door

Grease desposits on the seal between the inside of the oven door and the oven interior can cause it to become brittle and cracked.

It is best to clean the seal and the inside of the door after each use with a Miele E-cloth or a clean sponge and a solution of hot water with a little washing up liquid. Then dry with a soft cloth.

The oven interior is PerfectClean enamelled. Please refer to the section on "PerfectClean" for information on cleaning and care.

PerfectClean

The following have a PerfectClean treated surface:

The oven interior

–

The universal tray

–

The anti-splash insert (if applicable).

–

This surface has very good anti-stick properties and is much easier to keep clean than conventional oven enamel, if cleaned regularly.

Food can be lifted 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. Food can be sliced or cut up on the PerfectClean surface in the same way as on a baking tray with conventional enamel.

Cleaning and care

Allow the oven and any

accessories to cool down before cleaning by hand. Danger of burning.

For the optimum performance of 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 become impossible.

The following cause lasting damage to the surface structure, reduce the anti-stick effect and must not be used on PerfectClean surfaces:

– Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream cleaners.

–

Cleaning agents for ceramic hobs.

Do not use ceramic knives on PerfectClean treated surfaces, as these can cause scratches.

–

Wire wool or metal scourers.

–

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

–

Oven spray must not be used in a hot oven or left on for too long.

–

PerfectClean enamelled items must not be washed in a dishwasher.

–

Do not spot-clean by rubbing the surface.

Cleaning and care

Normal soiling should be cleaned as

soon as possible with a dishcloth, soft sponge 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.

After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water. The water must run off the surface easily. Any residual cleaning agents will hinder this effect.

Stubborn soiling, e.g. from roasting, may need to be soaked first with a damp sponge to loosen it and if necessary, a non-abrasive stainless steel spiral pad or a scraper suitable for glass can be used to remove it.

Remove all catalytic enamelled panels from the oven interior before using oven spray. The chemicals used in oven sprays will damage catalytic enamel, rendering it ineffective. Some oven cleaners contain strong alkalines and/or abrasive materials. Because PerfectClean 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, but for a few minutes only.

After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water and then dry thoroughly.

For extremely stubborn soiling a glass scraper or a non-abrasive stainless steel pad can be used.

Should the PerfectClean surface be damaged by any of the above measures not being heeded, it will still retain the anti-stick qualities of standard enamel and be as easy to keep clean as standard enamel.

Please note:

– Soiling such as spilt juices and cake

mixtures are best removed whilst the oven or tray is still warm. Excercise caution and make sure the oven is not too hot - danger of burning.

– Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting

discolouration to the surfaces, and roasting can cause matt areas to appear. Clean these following the instructions given above and do not use force to remove them. The discolouration is permanent, but will not affect the efficiency of the enamel.

Allow the PerfectClean surfaces to cool down to room temperature before applying the spray. Apply spray oven cleaner to the soiled areas, then leave to take effect for a few minutes only (no more than 10 minutes). If necessary use a soft sponge, soft nylon brush or a scraper suitable for glass surfaces to loosen the soiling. Repeat the process if necessary.

Cleaning and care

Catalytic enamelled surfaces

The catalytic coating becomes ineffective through using – abrasive cleaning agents, – hard brushes or abrasive

sponges, – oven sprays. Remove the catalytic back panel, side panels and roof liner from the oven before cleaning the PerfectClean oven surfaces with oven spray.

Note that deposits of spices, syrups and similar substances are not removed from the catalytic coating by this process. These should be removed by hand whilst still fresh, using a mild solution of hot water and washing up liquid applied with a soft sponge or brush. Remove the panels from the oven to do this.

Soiling caused by oil and grease splashes are removed from catalytic coated surfaces when the oven is heated to a high temperature. To do this:

PerfectClean surfaces and becoming impossible to remove.

Select "Fan plus U".

Set the highest temperature setting.

Run the oven for approx. 1 hour. The

length of time will depend on the level of soiling.

If the catalytic coated panels are very heavily soiled with oil and grease, a film will develop on the oven surface during the cleaning process which can be wiped off with warm water and a little washing up liquid once cool.

^ Finally, clean the PerfectClean

surfaces, the seal and the inside of the door.

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

Any remaining soiling will gradually disappear with each subsequent use of the oven at high temperatures.

Should the catalytic coating on the back panel, roof liner or side panels become ineffective through improper use or heavy soiling, replacements can be obtained from your Miele dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Take all accessories out of the oven.

Wipe large deposits of soiling from the oven interior and the inside of the door before starting the cleaning process to avoid them baking onto

Cleaning and care

To remove the oven door

The oven door is connected to the oven by hinges.

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

^ Open the door fully.

Then lift the door upwards as far as it

will go.

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.

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.

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 panes.

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

To dismantle the oven door

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

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 or sharp metal tools to clean glass as these can scratch the surface. Scratches can also cause the glass to break.

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 reflect the heat.

Cleaning and care

Always remove the oven door before dismantling it.

Place the door on a protective

surface (e.g. on a table cloth or towel) to prevent it getting scratched. The door handle should just overhang along the edge of the table so that the glass lies flat to prevent it from getting broken during cleaning.

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

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

You can now remove the inner and middle panes.

Cleaning and care

Gently lift the inner pane up and out.

Clean the glass panes and other

parts with a Miele E-cloth or a clean sponge and a solution of hot water with a little washing up liquid. Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

Then put the door back together again:

^ Push the middle pane into the frame
