Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance is not intended for
This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use can, however, lead to personal
injury and damage to property.

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 content. Pass them
on to any future owner.

Correct application

The appliance is intended for

~

domestic use to cook food, and in
particular to bake, roast, grill, cook,
defrost and dry fruit. Any other usage is
at the owner's risk and could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage resulting
from incorrect or improper use or
operation.

~

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.

Safety with children

This appliance is not a toy! To

~

prevent the risk of injury or damage, do

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.

6

Warning and Safety instructions

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. A damaged appliance 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).

Before connecting the appliance,

~

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.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

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

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 "Full
grill Y", "Economy grill Z" and "Fan
grill \" functions. Excessively long
grilling times can lead to food drying
out and burning, or could even cause it
to catch fire.

Do not use the "Full grill Y",

~

"Economy grill Z" or "Fan grill \"to
finish baking par-cooked rolls or bread
or to dry flowers or herbs. Fire hazard.
Use "Fan plus U" or "Conventional V"
instead.

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 guarantee.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

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 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. 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.

Do not line the floor of the oven with

~

aluminium foil when using
"Conventional V"/"Bottom heat X"/
"Intensive bake O"/"Rapid
heat-up S".
This would cause a build-up of heat
which could cause damage to 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
oven.

Never add cold water to food on a

~

hot universal tray or 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.

9

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.

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

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

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.

10

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

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.

It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person.

Features

Oven controls

In addition to operating the various
cooking programmes to bake, roast
and grill the controls also offer the
following:

a time of day display,

–

a minute minder,

–

a timer to automatically switch

–

cooking programmes on and off,

settings that can be customised.

Safety features

System lock

The system lock 0 prevents the oven
from being used unintentionally by
children, for example. See "System
lock".

Safety switch-off

The oven will switch itself off
automatically if it has been on for an
unusually long period of time.
The period of time will depend on the
particular oven function being used.
If it has switched itself off automatically
"Fault 55" will appear in the display.
The oven can be used again immedi
ately after switching it off and back on.

-

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.

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.

Vented oven door

The oven door is an open system and
the door panes have a heat-reflecting
coating. During operation, cool air is
passed through the oven door to keep
the outer pane cool.

If necessary, the oven door can be
dismantled for cleaning.

13

Features

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces are all treated
with PerfectClean enamelling:

Oven interior,

–

Runners,

–

Baking tray,

–

Universal tray,

–

Anti-splash insert (if present) and

–

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 surface

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.

See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.

Energy saving features

Time of day display

The clock display can be switched off
to save energy. When the oven is
switched off the display will not light up.
The time of day will, however, continue
to run unseen in the background (see
"Settings").
It will reappear in the display when the
oven is next used.

Energy efficiency rating
according to EN 50304

This appliance is rated energy
efficiency class A in accordance with
EN 50304.
Tests were carried out using "Fan
plus U".

Accessories

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 on www.miele-shop.com.

14

Features

Baking tray, universal tray and rack

The baking tray, universal tray and rack
are inserted into the oven between the
two rails of a shelf runner.

The trays and rack have non-tip safety
notches in the middle which prevent
them being pulled right out when they
only need to be partially pulled out.
The trays and rack can then only be
taken out of the oven by raising them
upwards and then pulling them out.

Anti-splash insert (depending on
model)

The anti-splash insert 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)

If you are using a tray with the rack on
top, insert the tray between the rails of
a shelf runner and the rack will sit on
top of it.

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

and wash them.

– then heat the oven up once with

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

^ Before heating the oven up it is a

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

The oven will start heating up as soon
as this entry has been accepted.

Heat the empty oven for at least an

^

hour.

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

The timer can also be used to set the
finish time. See "Entering a cooking
duration".

^ Leave the appliance to cool down to

room temperature.

^ Then wipe the oven interior out with a

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

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

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.

– for roasting beef/fillet.

With Conventional V
– it is usually necessary to pre-heat the

oven.

Do not use Rapid heat-up S to
pre-heat the oven when baking
pizzas or biscuits and small cakes.
They will brown too quickly.

To pre-heat the oven:

^

Select Rapid heat-up S and set a
temperature.

^

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

However, if the temperature falls below
the set temperature, the oven heating
and the temperature indicator light will
switch on again.

25

Operation

Switching on and off
automatically

You can programme the oven to switch
off automatically or on and off
automatically.

For automatic switching off you need to
enter the duration or the duration and a
finish time.

The maximum duration which can be
set is 12 hours.

We recommend using automatic
switching on and off when roasting.
However, do not delay the start for too
long when baking as the cake mixture
or dough will dry out, and the raising
agents will lose their effectiveness.

Entering a cooking duration

32

Refer to the baking charts for
suggestions of temperatures, shelf
levels and cooking durations. These
take into account a range of different
baking tins, quantities and cooking
traditions.

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.

Bakeware

Please take into account the material of
your bakeware in your choice of oven
function:

Fan plus U, Intensive bake O

Any heat-resistant material can be
used.

Baking tips

Baking parchment

Because of their PerfectClean anti-stick
surface the baking tray and the
universal tray do 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.

Universal tray

When baking cakes with fresh fruit
toppings and deep sponge cakes

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

Conventional V

Dark metal, enamel or aluminium
baking tins with a matt finish, as well as
heat-resistant glass and ceramic
dishes can be used.

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

Retangular tins

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

33

Baking tips

Notes about the charts

Temperature, baking duration

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.

Shelf level

The shelf levels are counted from the
bottom of the oven upwards (1 =
lowest, 5 = highest).

Frozen food

When baking frozen products such as
cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the
lowest temperature quoted on the
manufacturer's packaging. Bake on a
layer of baking parchment placed on
the rack. Cooking large frozen items on
the baking tray or 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.

Please refer to the
roasting chart.

The Miele Gourmet oven dish, roasting pans with a lid,
ovenproof china or glass, roasting bags, the universal tray,
the rack on top of the universal tray, the anti-splash insert (if
you have one) in the universal tray.

We recommend roasting in a covered pot, as

this ensures that sufficient stock remains for making

–

gravy.
and the oven stays cleaner, too.

–

Place the covered pot on the rack into a cold oven.
Pre-heating is only required when roasting beef/fillet.

– Do not select a higher temperature than that suggested.

The meat will brown on the outside, but will not be
properly cooked through.

– 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/450 grammes,
according to type of meat, plus approx. 20 minutes,
adjusting the length of time as roasting proceeds to obtain
the required result.

38

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.

Roasting tips

Frozen meat

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

Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes with the door
shut.

– For thin cuts of meat

(e. g. chops or steak): 275 °C

– For grilling thicker items,

(e. g. rolled meat, poultry) 240 °C

– Do not select a higher temperature than that

suggested. The meat will brown on the outside, but
will not be properly cooked through.

– Flat pieces of fish and meat usually take6–8

minutes per side. Thicker pieces take a little longer.

– With rolled meat, allow approx. 10 minutes per cm

diameter.

Grilling tips

Preparing food for grilling

Rinse briefly under running cold water,
pat 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 to lean meat if necessary.
Do not use other types of fat as they
can burn and cause smoke.

Clean fish in the normal way. To
enhance the flavour, add a little salt or
squeeze a little lemon juice over the
fish.

Grilling

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 will still be
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").

Defrost

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 check
that food is thoroughly defrosted.

Chicken, 800 g.........90–120min.

Meat, 500 g ............60–90min.

Meat, 1000 g ..........90–120min.

Sausages, 500 g ........30–50min.

Fish, 1000 g ............60–90min.

Strawberries, 300 g ......30–40min.

Sponge cake, 500 g......20–30min.

Bread, 500 g ...........30–40min.

,

Do not refreeze food once it has

thawed.

Cooking ready meals

We recommend using Fan plus U.

Select the required function and set the temperature.

^

When the temperature indicator light  goes out, place the dish in the

^

pre-heated oven.

Cook frozen cakes and pizza on baking paper on the rack rather than on the
baking tray or the universal tray. Cooking large frozen items on the baking tray
or 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 baking tray or the universal tray.

"PerfectClean".

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 surface of the oven interior has

cause lasting discolouration to
PerfectClean surfaces.

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

The removable 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 runners,
– remove the catalytic enamelled back

panel, side panels and roof liner.

– 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 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.

Cleaning and care

PerfectClean

Before using for the first time remove
any stickers from PerfectClean
surfaces.

The enamelled surfaces of the oven
interior, the baking tray, universal tray
and anti-splash insert (if applicable)
have been treated with a special type
of enamelling called "PerfectClean".
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 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.
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 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 non-abrasive stainless
steel spiral pad or a scraper suitable for
glass 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 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 couple of minutes only.

49

Cleaning and care

Do not attempt to use on a hot oven or
accessories. Allow the PerfectClean
surfaces to cool down to room
temperature before applying an oven
spray.

Remove the catalytic back panel,
side liners and roof liner before
using oven spray. 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, 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.

For 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 and 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,

–

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.

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
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. This
discolouration is permanent but will
not affect the efficiency of the
enamel.

50

Cleaning and care

Catalytic enamel surfaces

The back panel, roof liner 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. The higher the
temperature, the more effective the
process.

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.

The timer can also be used to set the
finish time. See "Entering a cooking
duration".

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 and the inside of the door.

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, a
replacement 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

51

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 inury.

^

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.

52

^

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 door.

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

To dismantle the oven door

If 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) 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.

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).

^ Flip the glass pane retainers

outwards to open them.

You can now remove the inner and
middle panes.

53

Cleaning and care

Gently lift the inner pane up and out

^

of the plastic strip.

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.

To refit the door:

^

To make sure that the middle pane
is put back in the correct way, one
of the corners of the pane is more
angled than the others. The more
angled corner must be at the top left
when you are facing towards the
pane.

^

Gently lift the middle pane and
remove it together with the seal.

^

Remove the seal from the pane.

54

^

Secure the seal to the middle pane.

Refit the middle pane and the seal.

^

The more angled corner must be at
the top left.

Cleaning and care

Flip the glass pane retainers inwards

^

to close them.

^

Push the inner pane into the plastic
strip and place it between the
retainers.
"Miele" must be visible at the top.

55

Cleaning and care

To refit the door

^ Hold the door securely at both sides

and carefully fit it back onto the hinge
guides.

Open the door fully.

^

Flip both locking clamps back up as

^

far as they will go into a horizontal
position.

It is essential that the locking clamps
are flipped down when the door is
refitted after cleaning. Otherwise the
hinges could work loose, resulting in
damage to the door.

Make sure that the door goes back
on straight.

56

Cleaning and care

To remove the runners

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

^ Pull the runners forwards out of the

holder and remove.
If applicable, also remove the
catalytic side panels attached to the

surfaces.

A fault code
appears in the
displayF+a
number

Check that the correct temperature has been set.

–

Check whether 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.

There will always be a slight unevenness. If browning is
very uneven check that the correct temperature was set
and that the correct shelf level was used.
With conventional heat V the material and colour of the tin
used plays an important role. Light coloured, shiny tins are
less suitable.

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.

You can rectify the following faults yourself:

Installing the oven

The appliance must not be

,

operated until it has been correctly
installed in its housing unit.
Otherwise it poses an electric shock
hazard.

Important. Do not fit insulation
material inside the housing unit.
This would hinder the intake of air to
the appliance.

When installing the appliance do not
lift it up by the door handle as this
can damage the door.

Turn off the mains electricity supply
to the isolator.

Connect the mains cable from the

^

oven to the isolator.

Push the appliance into the oven

^

housing unit and align it.

^ Open the oven door and using two

screws secure it to the side walls of
the housing unit through the holes in
the oven trim.
