Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
The appliance is only intended for
use by adults who have read these
operating instructions.
This appliance is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury keep
children well away and do not let them
play with it or use the controls. They will
not understand the potential dangers
posed by it. They should be supervised
whenever you are working in the
kitchen.
Older children may use the
appliance only when its operation
has been clearly explained to them,
and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Use the safety lock to prevent
children operating the appliance or
altering the settings.
The appliance gets hot when in
use and remains hot for quite a
while after being switched off. To
safeguard against burning, keep
children well away from the appliance
at all times
Warning: Take care in the area
around the hinges. Danger of
injury. Keep children well away.
Do not allow children to lean
against the open oven door, nor to
sit on it or swing on it.
Packaging (e.g. cling film,
polystyrene) and plastic wrappings
must be kept out of the reach of babies
and young children. Danger of
suffocation. Dispose of all packaging
safely as soon as possible.
Before discarding an old
appliance, it should be unplugged
or disconnected from the mains
electricity supply. Any plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind the appliance to prevent
misuse.
Do not store anything which might
arouse a child's interest in storage
areas above or next to the appliance.
Otherwise they could be tempted into
climbing onto the appliance with the
risk of burning themselves.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not use the appliance to heat
up food in sealed jars and tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and
they can explode causing damage to
the appliance, as well as the risk of
injury and scalding.
Do not store cooked food in the
oven. The moisture in the food can
lead to corrosion in the appliance.
Do not store anything combustible
in the oven. This could be a fire
hazard if the appliance is switched on
by mistake.
The surfaces of the oven cavity
and some accessories have been
treated with P
maintain the anti-stick qualities of these
surfaces it is important to clean them
regularly and carefully following the
instructions given in "Cleaning and
Care".
ERFECTCLEAN enamel. To
When heating up or cooking larger
items of deep frozen food such as
pizza, place them on baking parchment
on the rack. Do not use the baking tray,
or grill pan as these can distort with the
temperature fluctuations.
Splashes of fruit juice can leave
marks which cannot be removed
afterwards.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Do not place heavy objects on the
open door. The oven door can
support a maximum load of 10 kg.
Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil. Never place a dish,
tin, baking tray or similar object on the
oven floor. This would block the heat
and could damage the PerfectClean
enamelling.
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
appliances, e.g. by blocking the heat.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Only use the roast probe supplied
with the appliance. Any other could
damage the electronic controls.
Always close the cover flap to the
roast probe socket after use to
protect the socket from moisture.
Wait until the appliance has cooled
down before you do so to prevent the
risk of burning yourself.
To prevent the risk of damage do
not leave the roast probe in the
oven when it is not being used.
When using the roast probe keep
the cable well away from the top
element and do not use it for grilling.
The high temperatures could cause the
plastic parts to melt.
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.
Protection from burning
The appliance, especially the
inside of the door and the outside
of the door at the top, becomes very
hot during use and remains hot for
some time after switching off.
To avoid burning yourself, use oven
gloves. However, do not let oven
gloves get damp or wet, as this causes
heat to transfer through the material
more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself. Do not touch hot
heating elements.
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 leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil
or fats, as these are a fire hazard if
overheated.
If, despite this, oil or fat does catch
fire, do not attempt to put out the
flames with water. Use a suitable fire
blanket or fire extinguisher.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
Appliance faults
In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance immedi
ately. Disconnect completely from the
electricity supply. If the appliance has
not yet been fully installed, the
electricity cable must be disconnected
from the supply point. If connected via
a plug and socket, switch off at the
socket and withdraw the plug. Contact
the Service Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.
Repairs must only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and
competent person. Repairs and other
work by unqualified persons could be
very dangerous and could damage the
appliance. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for unauthorised work. Never
open the housing of the appliance.
While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
-
Further safety notes
When using an electric socket near
the oven, care should be taken that
the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot get trapped by the oven door.
The insulation on the cable could
become damaged, giving rise to an
electric shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food and its temperature.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking;
therefore when cooking or reheating
foods such as poultry, it is particularly
important that the food is completely
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures
and could catch fire.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
12
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.
Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene)
and plastic wrappings must be kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Dispose of or recycle all packaging
materials as soon as possible.
Disposal of your old appliance
or machine
Electrical and electronic appliances /
machines 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 or machine. Please do
not therefore dispose of your old
machine or appliance with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. The
plug must be rendered useless and the
cable cut off directly behind it to
prevent misuse.

Practical tips
Tips on 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.
Refer to the baking chart for
recommended temperatures and
times.
Always select the lowest temperature
–
given in the chart/recipe/cooking
instructions given on the packaging.
Do not select a higher temperature
than that advised. Increasing the
temperature may reduce the baking
time, but will lead to uneven
browning. In some cases cakes
might not cook properly.
– Select the runner level according to
the recipe and the setting chosen
(see "Runner levels").
–
At the end of the shorter time given,
check to see whether the cake etc. is
done. Insert a metal or wooden
skewer into the centre. If it comes out
clean, without dough or crumbs
sticking to it, the cake is ready.
Place rectangular tins in the oven
–
with the longer side across the oven
for optimum heat distribution and
even results.
When baking cakes with a deep
–
fresh fruit filling, e.g. plum or
damson, use the grill pan which is
deeper than the baking tray. This will
prevent juices spilling over and will
make it easier to clean the oven.
Splashes of fruit juice can leave
marks which cannot be removed
afterwards.
– Use dark coloured tins for baking.
These conduct the heat more swiftly
to the mixture. Shiny metal tins reflect
heat so cakes take longer to cook
and do not brown evenly.
– 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.
28
Practical tips
Yeast dough can be put in the oven
–
to rise. Turn the function selector to
Fan heat D and reduce the
recommended temperature to 30 °C.
Cover the container.
When baking deep frozen products
–
such as cakes, pizza and baguettes,
use the lowest temperature quoted
on the manufacturer's packaging.
Place such items on baking
parchment on the rack. Placing them
on the baking tray or in the grill pan
can cause the metal to distort.
Deep frozen foods such as oven
–
chips or potato croquettes can be
cooked on the baking tray or grill
pan. Place these types of frozen
foods on baking parchment and
select the lowest temperature quoted
on the manufacturer's packaging.
Tips on saving energy
When using Conventional heat A
–
only pre-heat the oven if the baking
time is less than 30 minutes or for
mixes which require a pre-heated
oven, e.g. biscuits.
When using Fan heat D, take the
–
opportunity to bake on several levels
at the same time.
Switch the oven off approx.
–
5 minutes before the end of cooking
time, and leave the cake or biscuits
in the oven for a further 5 10 minutes with the door closed to
take advantage of the residual heat.

Practical tips
Tips on roasting
Ensure that the roasting filter is fitted
in front of the fan in the back of the
oven when roasting on the rack or in
an open dish.
Do not pre-heat the oven when using
Fan grill N.
Splashes of fat can leave marks on
the grill pan after roasting which
cannot be removed afterwards.
We recommend the Fan grill system
–
N for roasting. The Infra-red full grill
and the fan work together to give a
succulent roast with a crispy finish.
Turning is not necessary. On the
whole, splashes are avoided and the
oven interior walls stay relatively
clean.
– The roast probe can be used in
conjunction with Fan grill for roasting
large pieces of meat.
See the next section for information.
–
You can also use Conventional heat
A or Fan heat D for roasting. Set
the temperature approx. 20-30 °C
higher than is stated in the chart.
With Fan heat turn the temperature
down to approx. 165 °C after about
15-20 mins. of roasting. The oven will
get more heavily soiled than when
using Fan grill N.
The roast probe can also be used
with the Conventional heat and Fan
heat functions.
–
Always defrost meat before cooking.
Never cook from frozen.
If adding salt to meat, only do so
–
shortly before roasting to prevent the
meat losing its juices.
Since there is no need to baste when
–
roasting with Fan grill N salt and
seasoning should be rubbed into the
meat before roasting. Adding a little
oil makes it easier to rub dry herbs
into the meat.
Put joints for roasting, e.g. pork with
–
crackling, as well as poultry or
poultry pieces directly on the rack
with the grill pan on the runner
underneath. This enables the meat to
brown on all sides and the pan
catches the juices.
– For braising, however, place the
meat into a roasting pan or directly in
the grill pan.
– Always place the roast in the centre
of the oven. Very tall joints and large
poultry should be placed on the
lowest shelf level.
–
The traditional British method of
calculating roasting time is to allow
15 to 20 minutes to the lb., according
to the type of meat, plus approx.
20 minutes, adjusting length of time
as roasting proceeds, to obtain the
required result. Alternatively, roasting
time can be calculated by the height
of the joint. Calculate approx.
10-12 minutes per centimetre height
of meat.
–
Meat which has been stored at a
very low temperature will need a
longer roasting time than that given
in the chart.
31
Practical tips
If the overall cooking time is quite
–
long and if vegetables, such as
onions, tomatoes, carrots etc. are to
be added to the roast, we
recommend that you do not add
these until more than half-way
through the cooking time. Otherwise
they can become too dark and give
the gravy a bitter taste.
If a recipe calls for broth, stock or
–
water to be added (e.g. half-way
through cooking time), this should
always be heated first before adding
to the roast.
– Allow a standing time of approx.
10 minutes after the end of cooking
so that the meat juices are evenly
distributed.
Tips on saving energy
It is not necessary to pre-heat the
–
oven before roasting.
More than one piece of meat can be
–
roasted side by side.
Switch the oven off approx.
–
5 minutes before the end of cooking
time and leave the roast to stand for
5 -10 minutes in the closed oven to
make use of the residual heat.
32
Practical tips
Roasting with the roast probe
How it works
The roast probe measures the core
temperature of the food precisely,
enabling consistent results every time
you roast. This is particularly useful
when roasting joints of beef or fillet. The
duration of the progamme and time it
ends will depend on the temperature of
the food to start with.
The oven switches itself off
automatically when the core
temperature of the food being cooked
reaches the set temperature.
You can use the roast probe with almost
all of the oven functions. Except:
Infra-red full grill, Economy grill and
Defrost.
The roast probe should not be used
with poultry. Because of the amount of
bone and cavity space it is difficult to
find a good place to insert the probe.
Proceed as follows:
From the right hand side, insert the
^
tip of the probe into the middle of the
meat. Ensure that it is not touching
any bones, and that the tip is not
sticking into a layer of fat.
Place the roast in the middle of the
^
oven, on the rack with the grill pan
underneath, or in the grill pan.
Raise the cover flap and insert the
^
probe plug into the socket until it
engages.
Ensure that the roasting filter is fitted
on the back wall of the oven when
roasting on the rack or in an open
dish.
When you have finished using the
probe, remove the plug from the socket
and close the cover flap (when it is cool
enough to touch).
Take care as the probe shaft may be
hot.
Never leave it in the oven when not in
use. It could get damaged by the heat
produced in another function. Keep it in
a safe place, in a drawer, for example.
Make sure the probe cable cannot
come into contact with the grill
element.
33
Practical tips

e.g. Fan grill N.
The recommended temperature for the
function selected (e.g. 165 °C) will
appear in the temperature display for a
few seconds.
.
e
p
The current time of day (e.g. 14.00) will
show in the timer display.
a
In the temperature display the "z"
symbol then goes out, and the roast
probe symbol e appears together with
two temperatures, separated by a
colon.
The actual temperature of the meat
(e.g. 30 °C) lights up to the left of the
colon.
Note that the display will only show an
actual food temperature if it is above
20 °C.
The final core temperature (80 °C)
appears on the right of the colon.
If no further entries are made, the oven
will start automatically after a few
seconds using these settings. The rise
in temperature in the roast will be
shown on the left of the temperature
display.
34
The recommended final core
temperature can be altered and / or the
start time delayed.
Practical tips
Altering the recommended final core
temperature
The recommended target core
temperature can only be altered if both
temperature values (the actual core
temperature on the left and the final
core temperature on the right) (e.g.
30:80) are displayed.
If this is not the case,
wait for a few seconds until the
–
temperature display changes
check that the roast probe is
–
correctly inserted in the socket.
Proceed as follows:
^ As soon as the two temperature
values appear in the display, use the
+ or - buttons to alter the
recommended final core temperature
on the right of the colon in 1 °C steps
(e. g. to 76 °C).
Altering the recommended oven
temperature
The recommended oven temperature
can only be changed if it is showing in
the display.
If the recommended core temperature
is showing, press the - temperature
button briefly to switch back to the
recommended oven temperature.
Proceed as follows:
Whilst the recommended oven
^
temperature is lit up, use the + and buttons to change it.
The final core temperature can be
altered between 40 °C and 99 °C.
35
Practical tips
After the final core temperature has
been reached
The final core temperature has been
reached when the temperature values
to the left and right of the colon are
identical and flashing, (e.g. 65 °C). The
roast will now be cooked to the degree
required.
An audible tone sounds and the oven
heating switches off automatically.
However, do not turn the function
selector to "0" immediately, as the roast
should be left to stand for a further 10
minutes in the warm oven. This way the
roast will retain more juices when it is
carved. At the end of the standing time
a second audible tone will sound. The
roast can now be taken out of the oven
and the selector turned to "0".
Note: during standing time the
temperature of a thick joint can rise by
about 3 °C and by as much as 6 °C for
thinner joints. When setting the final
core temperature you may wish to
select a slightly lower temperature to
compensate.
36
Practical tips
Delaying the start time
When the roast probe is being used the
start time can be delayed. The oven will
then switch on and off automatically.
The final core temperature which has
been set determines when the roasting
process finishes.
Proceed as follows:
Insert the roast probe into the joint.
^
Select an oven function and if
required, alter the final core
temperature and/or the
recommended oven temperature as
described on the previous pages.
^ Press the - button under the timer
display twice.
The f symbol will appear in the timer
display.
^ Use the + button under the timer
display to set the required start time
e. g. 11.20.
The light ring round the selector switch
goes out. A few seconds later the
actual time of day will reappear in the
timer display and the f symbol will
light up.
The temperature values (e.g. 30:80) in
the temperature display will go out
and the e symbol will light up.
Once the start time has been reached,
the light ring around the selector switch
will come on and the oven will start. In
the temperature display the f symbol
goes out and the temperature values
(e.g. 30:80) reappear.
The start time set and the temperature
settings in the display, can be checked
and changed up until the start time:
to change the start time for roasting
press briefly twice on the timer timer
button -under the timer display.
To change the core temperature press
briefly twice on the temperature button
- under the temperature display.
Use the relevant + or - buttons to
change the value displayed.

The Defrost function is particularly
suitable for defrosting delicate frozen
foods such as breads, fruit, fish, and
cream gateaux. With the constant
movement of air in the oven, defrosting
is much faster than in still air.
With the Defrost G function, the fan
runs but the oven heating systems are
all switched off. It is not possible to
select a temperature.
The time needed for defrosting
depends on the type and weight of the
food, and the temperature it was frozen
at.
150-180
80-100
Tips on defrosting
All meat and poultry should be fully
–
defrosted before cooking. When
defrosting meat or poultry place the
grill pan underneath the rack 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
defrosted poultry. Pour it away and
wash the tray, the sink and your
hands. Danger of salmonella
poisoning!
– Where possible remove the
packaging and put the food to be
defrosted on a baking tray or into a
suitable dish.
Food which does not contain
juices/water can be defrosted in its
packaging on a baking tray.
– Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning.
–
Turn, stir or separate food about
half-way through the defrosting time.
–
Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
–
Defrost deep frozen pre-cooked
meals according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Defrost with the oven door open as
this way cool air is dispelled from the
oven and the intake of warmer air
from the room helps speed up the
defrosting process. The wider the
door is opened the better.

Preparing yoghurt
Proceed as follows:
Mix 100 g yoghurt (with live culture)
^
with 1 litre of full cream milk. The
yoghurt and milk should have the
same percentage fat content.
If using unpasteurised milk you will
need to heat it up to 90 °C (do not
boil) and then leave it to cool.
Otherwise the yoghurt will not set.
Pour this milk mixture into 6 or 7
^
portion sized glass dishes and cover
with heat resistant cling film.
Special yoghurt jars may also be
used.
^ Position the rack at level 2 in the oven
and place the covered dishes on the
rack.
^ Select Fan heat D and lower the
recommended temperature to
between 40-60 °C.
Practical tips
The yoghurt will be ready in about
5 hours.
^
Allow the yoghurt to cool and then
place in the refrigerator.
It will not achieve its maximum set until
it has been thoroughly chilled.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Never use cleaners containing
alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides,
oven sprays, dishwasher detergents
or abrasive cleaning agents, hard
brushes, scouring pads and cloths
or steel wool. You should also avoid
using sponges etc. which have
previously been used with abrasive
cleaning agents, as these would
damage the surface.
Do not leave accessories in the oven
when the oven is being used.
Cleaning and care
Appliance front
The appliance front and controls should
be cleaned using a mild solution of hot
water with a little washing up liquid,
applied with a damp cloth. Wipe dry
using a soft cloth.
On appliances with aluminium fronts
(see data plate) and/or metal coloured
lacquered controls please note that the
aluminium parts and the controls are
susceptible to damage from scratches
and abrasion as well as from alkaline
and acidic substances. It is therefore
essential to clean these with care, as
described above. Do not use cleaning
agents for stainless steel or descaling
agents on these surfaces. Soiling
should be wiped off as soon as
possible. If the soiling is left for a long
time it can have a damaging effect on
the surface.
Appliances with glass fronts:
A proprietary glass cleaning agent may
be used.
On stainless steel appliances the front
should be cleaned using a proprietory
non-abrasive cleaning agent designed
for use on stainless steel surfaces.
Apply with an even pressure following
the direction of the "grain".
47
Cleaning and care
Rubber door seal
The rubber door seal is easy to remove
for cleaning or should it ever need
replacing.
Do not clean the seal in a dishwasher. It
should be cleaned by hand using a
mild solution of hot water with a little
washing up liquid, applied with a
sponge. Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
To remove the seal:
Using the rounded blade of a blunt
knife get behind the seal and carefully
pull it off. Start at a corner and take
care around its fixing points.
To replace the seal:
Replace the seal and use a blunt knife
to push the fixing points back into the
holes in the frame of the oven.
48
Cleaning and care
Removing the oven door
It is much easier to clean the oven
interior if you remove the oven door
first.
To remove the oven door:
Open the door fully.
^
Flip up the release levers in front of
^
the door hinges.
^
Gradually shut the door, until the
raised levers touch the oven frame.
Holding the door evenly with both

hinges.
To put the oven door back on:
Do the above in the reverse order:
^ Place the door on the hinges.
^ Open the door fully.
^
Then push the levers back down.
^
Close the door.
The oven door is heavy. It should be
gripped firmly at both sides when
being removed and refitted.
49
Cleaning and care
Dismantling the oven door
The oven door consists of three glass
panels: an inner a, middle b and
outer c panel as shown in the
illustration.
If you decide not to remove the door,
take extra care when dismantling the
panels that the door does not drop
open or close by mistake as this could
result in damage to the glass panels.
Using both hands, grip the inner
^
glass panel a at the rear and lift it
upwards.
^ Open the inner panel a towards you.
Then pull it out as far as possible in
its retainer (see detail).
If necessary, the door can be
dismantled so that the glass panels can
be cleaned individually.
To dismantle the door:
^
It is easier to clean the door if you
remove it first (see "Removing the
oven door"). Cover a suitable table
with a soft cloth and the lay the oven
door on the cloth with the inner glass
panel a facing upwards and the
oven handle towards you. Maintain a
gap of approx. 30 cm between
yourself and the edge of the door.
50
Cleaning and care
Slide the middle panel b, in its
^
retainer, in the direction of the printed
arrow as far as it will go.
Pull the middle panel b upwards out
^
of its retainer at the back and then
remove it from the front clips d (see
detail).
To reassemble:
Hold the middle panel b with the
^
printed side on top.
Insert the middle panel b into the
^
clips at the front d and then lower
the panel carefully and locate
securely in position at the rear.
Slide in the middle panel b back as
^
far as it will go.
Then push the inner panel a back
^
into its retainer until it clicks into
position (see detail).
The glass panels can now be cleaned
individually with a sponge and a
solution of hot water and a little washing
up liquid. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
^
Flip the top panel a carefully back
and press securely into position.
Re-fit the oven door. (See section "To
remove the oven door").
51
Cleaning and care
Switching on the oven interior
lighting
The oven lighting switches on
automatically when the door is opened
and stays on for some time before
switching off.
If you want the oven light on for longer
for cleaning the oven, you can use the
door contact to switch the lighting on
again as often as necessary.
Proceed as follows:
Press the door contact (see arrow)
^
inwards to switch the lighting on.
52
Cleaning and care
Oven interior
The oven floor has been treated with a
special type of enamelling called
P
ERFECTCLEAN which has very good
anti-stick properties and is much easier
to keep clean than conventional oven
enamel.
The roof, rear and side walls have
special self-cleaning catalytic liners
which are removable.
Clean the P
each use. If this is not done cleaning
may become difficult and in extreme
cases impossible and the anti-stick
effect will be reduced. Clean the
surfaces as described in the sections
on "P
catalytic enamel surfaces".
Please note that spilt fruit juices may
cause lasting discolouration of the
surfaces.
ERFECTCLEAN surfaces after
ERFECTCLEAN" and "Cleaning
Baking tray, grill pan, rack, side
runners
The surfaces of these accessories have
also been treated with P
enamel. They should be cleaned after
each use to preserve the very good
anti-stick properties. Clean as
described in the section on
"P
ERFECTCLEAN".
Food can be taken off it more easily,
and soiling from baking and roasting is
easier to remove.
Please note that dull patches may
appear in the grill pan after roasting or
grilling. These cannot be removed.
The side runners can be removed to
make cleaning the oven easier.
To remove the side runners:
^ Pull them out first from the sides a,
and then from the back of the oven
b.
ERFECTCLEAN
b
c
To re-fit the runners reverse the above
procedure. First fit them into the back of
the oven and them push them in at the
sides.
53
Cleaning and care
PERFECTCLEAN
The following notes on cleaning and
care should ensure that the anti-stick
and easy clean properties of
P
ERFECTCLEAN-surfaces last for many
years. Clean these surfaces as you
would treat glass. If you are unsure
whether a particular cleaning product is
suitable, consider whether you could
use it on a window pane with causing
damage.
Never use cleaning agents
containing alkalines / soda, acids or
chlorides, oven cleaning sprays,
dishwasher detergent or abrasive
cleaning agents, e.g. hard brushes,
scouring pads or steel wool. You
should also avoid using sponges
etc. which have previously been
used with abrasive cleaning agents,
as these would damage the surface.
Do not clean the baking tray, grill
pan, rack or side runners in a
dishwasher.
Light soiling should be cleaned after
each use with a dishcloth, soft sponge
or a soft nylon brush using a solution of
hot water and a little washing up liquid.
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.
Stubborn soiling e.g. from roasting
should be soaked first and removed as
soon as possible after cooking. If
necessary, use a soft sponge, soft
nylon brush or a scraper suitable for
glass surfaces to loosen the soiling.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water to remove any cleaning
agent residues. The water must run off
the surface easily. Wipe dry using a soft
cloth.
Using oven sprays on 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.
Allow the P
cool down to room temperature and
then apply a spray oven cleaner to the
soiled areas. Do not attempt to use on a
hot oven or accessories. Leave to take
effect for a max. of 10 minutes only!
Please also observe the manufacturer's
instructions.
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.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water to remove any cleaning
agent residues. The water must run off
the surface easily. Wipe dry using a soft
cloth.

54
Cleaning and care
Cleaning catalytic enamel
surfaces
The roof and the back wall of the oven
and side panels (if fitted) which can be
difficult to reach for cleaning have
special liners which are coated with
catalytic enamel. Catalytic enamel has
very good self-cleaning properties.
During fan operated cooking circulating
air in the oven deposits oil and fat
splashes predominantly on the back
panel of the oven.
The catalytic liners absorb oil and
splashes of fat. These splashes are
burnt off at temperatures over 200°C.
The higher the temperature, the more
effective the process.
Before cleaning the catalytic panels
using high temperatures, make sure
that all P
been cleaned as previously
described. Otherwise, the high
temperatures can cause deposits to
become baked on to the
P
ERFECTCLEAN surfaces and become
impossible to clean.
ERFECTCLEAN surfaces have
The length of time will depend on the
level of soiling.
It is a good idea to set the finish time for
the process using the timer (see
"Switching off automatically"). This way
you will not forget to switch the oven off
at the end.
However, deposits of spices, syrups
and similar substances are not
removed by the catalytic cleaning.
These are best removed while fresh by
hand with a mild solution of warm water
and washing up liquid applied with a
soft brush. Do not wait too long
between cleaning sessions as further
baking and roasting will cause the
deposits to bake on even harder with
each subsequent use of the oven.
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.
These damage the surface
rendering its self-cleaning properties
ineffective.
Depending on the level of soiling,
heating the oven to a high temperature,
as follows, will help remove soiling on
the catalytic surfaces which has been
caused by oil and grease splashes:
^
With the oven empty, select Fan heat
D and the highest temperature
possible. Run the oven for approx.
one hour.
After a period of time and depending
on the amount and type of use of the
oven, the matt surface of the catalytic
liners can change in appearance, e.g.
splashes of fat will be visible, and
become ineffective. The liners should
then be replaced with new ones.
Replacement liners can be obtained
from your dealer or the Miele Spare
Parts Dept and fitted as described in
the following section.
55
Cleaning and care
To replace the catalytic roof liner:
To take out the roof liner, first loosen
^
the two fixing screws holding up the
roof liner and the grill element. Lower
the grill heating element and the roof
liner at the front.
^ You can now pull the roof liner out.
Insert the new roof liner and tighten
the screws back up.
To replace the catalytic back panel:
Remove the roasting filter if present
^
(see "Roasting filter").
Remove the side shelf runners.
^
Use a suitable screwdriver to loosen
^
the screws in the back panel and
remove the panel.
^ Insert a new panel and screw in
firmly. Re-fit the side runners and if
required, the roasting filter.
Do not operate the oven without the
catalytic back panel fitted. This
could cause considerable injury.
56
To replace the catalytic side panels:
^
First remove the side runners as
described in "To remove the side
runners".
^
Unscrew the fixing screw with a coin
and pull the panel out.
^
Insert the new side panel, screw in
firmly and follow the above
procedure in reverse.
Cleaning and care
Roasting filter
The roasting filter should be cleaned
after each use.
It is removed by simply pulling it
forwards and out. It can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or by hand.
Dry thoroughly before replacing it.
Roast probe
Wipe the roast probe with a damp cloth
after each use. Do not soak in water.
Do not clean in a dishwasher.
Changing the oven lamp
The oven lamp is easily replaced
(25 W, 230-240 V, 300 °C, Socket:
E 14):
^ Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply. Switch off at the
isolator or the mains fuse box. (See
"Warning and safety instructions").
^ Carefully remove the glass cover, as
shown in the illustration, using a wide
flat object e.g. a spatula, if
necessary. Take care to use even
pressure, as otherwise the glass
could break and there would be
danger of being injured.
^
Unscrew the lamp and replace it with
a new one.
^
Replace the glass cover and
carefully but firmly press it into
position using the palm of your hand.
^

Problem solving guide
Installation work and repairs to
electrical components of this
appliance must only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and
competent person in accordance
with local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
What to do if, ...
... the fan can still be heard after the
appliance has been switched off
The appliance is fitted with a cooling
system which prevents it over-heating
during use, causing possible damage
to adjacent kitchen furniture. The
cooling fan will continue run after the
appliance has been switched off until it
has cooled down to approx. 70 °C. The
temperature will fall faster with the door
open.
If none of the above is the case, then
disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply for approx. 1 minute.
To do this:
switch off at the isolator, or
–
withdraw the mains fuse.
–
Reconnect to the mains supply and
switch the appliance on. If it still does
not heat up, contact a qualified
electrician or the Miele Service
Department.
... cakes or biscuits are not cooked
properly
Check whether,
– the correct temperature was set.
– the roasting filter was left in front of
the fan when baking with Fan heat. In
this case baking takes longer.
– there were any alterations to the
recipe. For example, a moister mix or
more eggs can lengthen baking time.
... after switching on, the appliance
does not heat up
Check whether,
–
the safety lock is activated.
–
the timer has been programmed.
–
the mains fuse has blown.
58
Problem solving guide
... cakes or biscuits are unevenly
browned
A small difference in browning is not
unusual. Manufacturers use a
percentage figure in their product
information data for browning levels.
If browning is very uneven, check
when baking with Fan heat D,
–
whether the temperature set was too
high or whether the roasting filter was
left in place.
when baking with Conventional
–
heat A, check the colour and
composition of the baking tins being
used. Thin and shiny tins are
generally not very good. Try using a
different tin next time.
... an audible tone is sounding and
the symbol 0- -§ has appeared in the
temperature display
The function selector was adjusted with
the safety lock activated. This caused
the oven to switch itself off
automatically.
.. F and a number appear in the
temperature display
F 05 / F 06 The temperature thermos
tat is faulty. This caused the oven to
switch itself off automatically.
Call the Service Department, quoting
the fault code.
F 07 The oven has switched itself off
automatically during use (see "Safety
switch off").
F 09 The maximum temperature of the
oven has been exceeded. This caused
the oven to switch itself off
automatically.
Turn the function selector to "0". As
soon as the temperature has fallen to
an acceptable level the fault message
disappears. You can now switch the
oven back on again. If this fault
message occurs again, please call the
Miele Service department, quoting the
fault code.
-
Turn the function selector back to its
original position. The oven will now
continue to operate as normal.
