Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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, 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 of the appliance.

This appliance 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.

Safety with children

This appliance is not a toy! To

~

prevent the risk of injury or damage 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.

Make sure children cannot touch the
oven whilst a pyrolytic programme is
running. Danger of burning.

7

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.

8

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",
"Economy grill" 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", "Economy

~

grill" or "Fan grill" to finish baking
par-cooked rolls or bread or to dry
flowers or herbs. Fire hazard.
Use "Fan plus" or "Conventional heat"
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.

9

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 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.

Do not line the floor of the oven with

~

aluminium foil when using
"Conventional"/ "Bottom heat" /
"Intensive bake".
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, 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.

10

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

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.

Remove all accessories as well as

~

the runners and any extra accessories
such as Flexi-Clip runners from the
oven interior before starting the
pyrolytic cleaning process. The high
temperatures needed for pyrolysis will
damage the accessories.

Only use the Miele food probe

~

supplied with this oven.
If a replacement is necessary it can be
obtained from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or your Miele dealer.

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

11

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are envoronmentally friendly for

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.

Disposing 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 dispose of it with your
household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for

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 for programming cooking

–

durations,

user programmes,

–

automatic programmes,

–

– settings that can be customised.

Auto sensor

This sensor controls

– the cooking duration of the automatic

programmes. This will be indicated in
the display.

– the cooling fan run-on time.

– the duration of the pyrolytic cleaning

process.

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.

Vented oven door

The oven door is an open system and
some of 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.

Safety features

System lock

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

Safety switch-off

Safety switch-off is triggered
automatically if the oven is operated for
an unusually long period of time. The
period of time will depend on the oven
function selected.

14

Door lock for pyrolytic operation

For safety reasons the door locks as
soon as the pyrolytic cleaning
programme starts. After the pyrolytic
programme has finished, the door will
remain locked until the temperature in
the oven has dropped below 280°C.

Features

Energy saving features

Lighting

The oven lighting is set to switch off
15 seconds after the start of a cooking
programme (default setting). See
"Settings - Lighting".

Door contact switch

If the oven door is opened during
operation, the door contact switch
automatically switches off the heating
elements and the fan, if a "Fan" setting
is being used. This helps reduce the
amount of heat lost from the oven
interior, e.g. when basting roast meat.
At the same time, the oven lighting is
switched on.

Using residual heat

The oven heating switches off
automatically shortly before the end of
a cooking programme where the
cooking duration has been
programmed or the food probe is being
used.

Energy save mode

The oven switches off automatically to
save energy if, at the end of an Auto
matic programme or a cooking
programme with Automatic switch-off,
no other cooking function is selected
within a certain time period.

This time period depends on the
settings selected (cooking function,
temperature, cooking duration).

Either the time of day is displayed or
the display is dark: see "Settings - Time

- Display".

-

The residual heat in the oven is
sufficient to complete the cooking
process.
"Energy save" will appear in the display.

The cooling fan continues to run, as
does the hot air fan if a "Fan" setting
has been chosen.

heat" as the Fan plus system distributes the heated air
around the food.

– For baking and roasting on one level.

– For cooking dishes which require a moist topping and a

crisp base such as pizza and quiche lorraine.

– Intensive bake is not suitable for baking thin biscuits etc. or

for roasting as the juices will become too dark.

–

For baking and roasting with moisture injection.

–

For roasting.
During the searing phase, the oven is heated up to a high
temperature (230 °C) to sear the meat.
Once this temperature is reached, the temperature of the
oven is automatically lowered to the set cooking
temperature (continued roasting temperature).

^ 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.

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

Moisture plus

The "Moisture plus" function uses a
steam injection system.

Water is taken into the steam injection
system via the tube underneath the
control panel on the left. The water is
then injected as bursts of steam into the
oven compartment during the cooking
process.
The steam inlets are located at the rear
left corner of the roof of the oven.

Only use water with this function.

,

Other liquids will damage the
appliance.

Baking, roasting or cooking with
Moisture plus uses just the right amount
of steam and optimum air flow for very
even cooking and baking results:
delicious fresh bread with a glossy
crust; rolls and croissants as good as
the baker makes; tender, succulent
meat with a well browned finish;
perfectly finished oven bakes; delicious
soufflés and much more.

Please refer to the "Moisture plus"
booklet supplied with your oven for
further information and a selection of
recipes.

Moisture plus is not suitable for
mixtures which already contain a lot of
moisture, such as choux pastry and
meringues, as the addition of steam
does not allow them to dry out
sufficiently.

Moisture plus is activated with Automat
ic programmes or you can select the
special "Moisture plus" function.

The steam injection system

,

should be rinsed through before you
use an Automatic programme with
Moisture plus or the Moisture plus
function for the first time.
To do this, run the oven using
"Moisture plus - 160 °C - Automatic
burst of steam" for about 30 minutes.

-

40

Moisture plus

Automatic programmes

Automatic programmes with Moisture
plus set the optimium temperature, the
degree of moisture and also the
duration automatically.

At the beginning of the programme you
will be prompted to allow a specified
amount of water to be drawn into the
oven.
The amount of water specified will be
more than the amount which is actually
needed which means that some of the
water will remain in the container as not
all of it will be drawn up into the oven.
The programme will control how many
bursts of steam are required and at
what point they are injected.

Night baking

Some of the Automatic programmes for
bread and rolls have the option of
baking during the night, so that you can
enjoy freshly baked bread for breakfast
the next morning.

The "Finish" option will appear when
you have selected the programme.

When "Finish" is selected, a finish time
will appear which is the cooking
duration for the programme plus five or
six hours, depending on programme.
You can change this to the time you
want the bread to be ready at the next
morning.

Follow the instructions which then
appear in the display.

41

Moisture plus

Moisture plus d

When using the Moisture plus function
you will need to enter

the temperature (at least 130 °C),

–

and
the number of bursts of steam.

–

You can also enter the cooking duration
or you can use the food probe.

Number of bursts of steam and when
they are injected

The number of bursts of steam and
when they are injected will depend on
the type of food being cooked:

– Dough mixtures will rise better if

steam is injected at the beginning of
the programme.

– Bread and rolls also rise better if

exposed to steam at the start.
Injecting a burst of steam at the end
of the programme will give the bread
and rolls a glistening crust.

–

When roasting meat with a high fat
content injecting steam at the
beginning of roasting will draw out
the fat.

Please refer to the sample recipes in
the "Moisture plus" booklet.

After selecting Moisture plus you need
to set the number of bursts of steam.
The options are:

Automatic

ß

This requires enough water for one
burst of steam. The burst of steam
will be injected into the oven
automatically after the heating-up
phase.
Steam is injected for about
5 minutes.

1 burst of steam

ß

2 bursts of steam

ß

3 bursts of steam

ß

The quantity of water required will
depend on the number of bursts of
steam.
The earliest point at which steam can
be injected is after the heating-up
phase has been completed.
One burst of steam takes approx.
5 minutes to be injected into the
oven.
It is a good idea to set the minute
minder to remind you when to inject
the bursts of steam required.

It is quite normal for condensation to
form on the inside of the door during
steam injection. This will dissipate
during the course of the cooking
programme.

^ Pull the fill tube forwards (located

below the control panel on the left).

The amount of water required will be
drawn up into the oven. As the water is
taken in, bars will appear in the display.
The amount of water specified will be
more than the amount which is actually
needed which means that some of the
water will remain in the container as not
all of it will be drawn up into the oven.

When you close the oven door you will
hear the noise of the pump briefly.

Automatic burst of steam

–

Once the heating-up phase has been

^

completed, the automatic burst of
steam is injected and the water will
vaporise in the oven compartment.

Once the steam has been injected
successfully, the programme will
continue to the end.

– Injecting bursts of steam manually

Once the heating-up phase has
finished, the bursts of steam can be
injected at the intervals given in the
recipe.
Set the minute minder N as a reminder.

^

Hold a container with the quantity of
water specified under the tube as
shown. Start the water intake process
with "OK".

When it is time to inject steam:

^

Select "Release steam".

The water will vaporise in the oven
compartment.

If more bursts of steam are required,
proceed as described above.

Once the steam has been injected
successfully, the programme will
continue to the end.

Moisture plus

To evaporate residual moisture

If there is still water in the steam
injection system at the end of a
programme or if the programme is
cancelled, you will be prompted to
evaporate the residual moisture.

This prompt will appear

when the appliance is switched on,

–

when selecting "Moisture plus", or

–

when selecting an automatic

–

programme that uses Moisture plus.

Select "Cancel" to cancel the process
or "OK" to start it.

It is best to start the evaporation
process straight away so that only
fresh water can be used during the
next cooking programme.

The residual moisture evaporation
process

The oven will heat up to approx.
150 °C, and the residual water in the
oven cavity will evaporate.
How long this takes will depend on the
amount of water in the system.

Steam will condense on the door
and the oven cavity, and the
moisture will then need to be wiped
off after the oven has cooled down.

To start the residual moisture
evaporation process

Confirm the prompt "Evaporate residual
moisture" with OK.
The evaporation process will start
immediately. The display will show
the approximate time remaining.

switched on, the prompt to evaporate

residual moisture will appear in the
display. Touch the sensor next to
"Cancel". You will only be able to run
functions and Automatic programmes
without Moisture plus.

If you select "Moisture plus" or one
of the Automatic programmes with
Moisture plus, the prompt to evaporate

residual moisture will appear immedi
ately.

If you do not want to start the residual
moisture evaporation process, you will
need to press the Cancel sensor for at
least 3 seconds.

You can now start the cooking
programme.

,

Do not cancel the prompt for
residual moisture evaporation too
often, as this might cause the steam
injection system to overflow when
taking in more water.

-

Descaling

The oven will need to be descaled
depending on the number of cooking
programmes using Moisture plus which
have been run and the amount of water
taken into the oven for these. This will
be indicated in the display.

The steam injection system should be
descaled regularly. How often this
needs to be done will depend on the
water hardness level in your area.

You can start the descaling process at
any time by selecting "Descale" in the
main menu.

If you do not carry out the descaling
process when the prompt to descale
the oven appears, you will only be able
to run functions and Automatic
programmes without Moisture plus.

See "Cleaning and care" for more
information about descaling.

Appliance front

Cleaning and care

All external surfaces 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,

cleaning agents containing

–

descaling agents,

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. Wipe dry using a
soft cloth.

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

– oven sprays,

–

glass cleaning agents,

–

hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,

–

eraser blocks,

–

sharp metal scrapers.

55

Cleaning and care

Accessories

Remove all accessories as well as
the runners and any extra
accessories such as FlexiClip
runners from the oven interior before
starting the pyrolytic cleaning
process. This also applies to shelf
runners and any optional
accessories.
The high temperatures needed for
pyrolysis will damage the
accessories.

Baking tray, 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

FlexiClip telescopic runners

Do not clean FlexiClip telescopic
runners in a dishwasher. This would
remove the special lubricant.

When cleaning do not use:

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

–

powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

stainless steel cleaning agents,

–

hard, abrasive sponges and

–

brushes, e.g. pot scourers.

When cleaning the runners be very
careful not to wash out the special
lubricant in them.
Avoid frequent:

– soaking in hot soapy water,

– use of oven spray,

– cleaning of the bearings.

The surface has been treated with
PerfectClean enamel.

Treat in the same way as other surfaces
coated with PerfectClean. See
"PerfectClean".

Food probe

The food probe is dishwasher-safe.

56

FlexiClip telescopic runners are best
cleaned after each use.
This prevents soiling drying on or being
burnt on when the oven is used again.

If the runners are used frequently
without being cleaned, it may become
very difficult or even impossible to
clean them.

Cleaning and care

Normal soiling

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

Remove any cleaning agent residues
as these could reduce the anti-stick
effect.

Heavy soiling

If necessary, the scouring pad on the
reverse of a non-stick washing-up
sponge can be used to clean the
runners. Cleaning is easier if a little
washing-up liquid is applied to the
soiling and left to soak in for a few
minutes before cleaning.

For very heavy soiling the telescopic
runners can be soaked in a solution of
hot water and washing-up liquid for a
maximum of 10 minutes.

After cleaning there may be some
discolouration or lightening to the
telescopic runners. This will not
affect the functioning of the runners
in any way.

Please note:

When baking cakes with moist toppings
or fillings e.g. fruit crumble, be careful
not to let them spill over. Should this
happen there is a danger of sticky fruit
juices adhering to the runners and
hindering or even preventing their
movement in and out of the oven.
Clean the runners as described above
and very carefully use a soft nylon
brush to clean the bearings inside the
runners.

Lubricating the FlexiClip telescopic
runners

If the lubrication on the telescopic
runners dries out, they can be
relubricated as necessary to ensure
they continue to run smoothly.

A special lubricant is available from
Miele.

Only use this special lubricant, as it
is designed to withstand high
temperatures in the oven.
Other lubricants can harden and
stick to the telescopic runners when
they are heated.

57

Cleaning and care

PerfectClean

The following have been treated with a
special finish called PerfectClean:

baking tray

–

universal tray

–

anti-splash insert (if applicable)

–

PerfectClean surfaces have very good

anti-stick properties and are much
easier to keep clean than conventional

oven enamel, if cleaned regularly.

Food can be lifted off more easily, and
soiling from baking and roasting is
easier to remove.

Allow the oven and any

,

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

For the optimum performance of
PerfectClean, 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 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.

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

To avoid damaging the surface
structure, the following 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 on
PerfectClean surfaces which are hot
or left on for too long,

–

PerfectClean enamelled items must
not be washed in a dishwasher,

–

spot cleaning.

58

After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water to remove any residual
cleaning agents as these can
diminish the anti-stick properties.

Normal soiling should be cleaned as
soon as possible after each use with a
soft sponge and a solution of hot water
and a little washing up liquid. The
longer soiling is left, the harder it may
become to remove.
If necessary, the souring pad on the
back of a non-scratch washing-up
sponge or a soft nylon brush can be
used.
You may find it easier to clean the oven
trays if you soak any deposits in a
solution of hot water with a little
washing-up liquid for a few minutes.

Stubborn soiling can be more difficult
to clean and may require an oven
cleaning spray.

Allow the PerfectClean surfaces to cool
down to room temperature before
applying the spray. Apply a proprietary
oven cleaning spray and leave to take
effect for up to ten minutes only.
Miele oven cleaning spray can be left
on for longer. Always follow the
instructions on the packaging.
If necessary, the pad on the back of a
non-scratch washing-up sponge can
also be used.

Cleaning and care

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

The steps described above should
enable you to clean the surfaces
thoroughly.

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. Exercise
caution and make sure the oven is
not too hot - danger of burning.

– Soiling such as spilt juices and

roasting deposits may cause lasting
discolouration or matt areas to
appear. Discolouration or matt areas
will not affect the efficiency of the
surface. Follow the cleaning
instructions given above and do not
use force to remove them.

Repeat the process, if necessary.

After using oven spray, rinse thoroughly
with clean water and then dry
thoroughly.

59

Cleaning and care

Oven interior

The oven interior is coated with dark
pyrolytic enamel which facilitates
cleaning.

This is a particularly hard enamel with
an extremely smooth surface and very
good anti-stick properties.

Manual cleaning of the oven interior

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

The oven interior and the inside of
the door 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, heavy soiling could even
damage the surface.

There is a fibre-glass door seal
around the oven cavity.
This seal is particularly sensitive and
should not be cleaned unless
absolutely necessary. Rubbing it
can damage it.

Most cooking residues can be removed
with a damp cloth and a mild solution of
hot water and washing-up liquid.

Never use hard brushes, hard
sponges, wire wool pads*, knives or
any other abrasive materials or
cleaning agents. They can damage
the enamel.

If using an oven spray, the
manufacturer's instructions must be
followed.

* Non-abrasive stainless steel spiral

pads can, however, be used.

To make cleaning easier

– remove the oven door,
– dismantle the door,
– remove the FlexiClip telescopic

runners,
– take out the shelf runners,
– lower the top heating/grill element.

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

60

Cleaning and care

Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven interior

Before starting a pyrolytic cleaning
process please note the following:

Remove any coarse soiling from the
oven before you start.

Clean the inside of the door (glass).

There is a fibre-glass door seal
around the oven cavity.
This seal is particularly sensitive and
should not be cleaned unless
absolutely necessary. Rubbing can
damage it.

Remove all accessories from the
oven interior before starting the
pyrolytic cleaning process. This also
applies to the FlexiClip runners,
shelf runners and any optional
accessories. The high temperatures
needed for pyrolysis will damage the
accessories.

The oven door gets much hotter
during pyrolytic operation than
during normal use.
Make sure children cannot touch the
oven whilst a pyrolytic programme is
running. Danger of burning.

During the pyrolytic process the oven is
heated to over 400 °C. Any residual
soiling is broken down and reduced to
ash by the high temperatures.

The pyrolytic programme duration will
vary depending on the level of soiling.

For safety reasons the oven door is
automatically locked at the beginning
of the pyrolytic programme.

At the end of the programme it will not
be unlocked until the temperature
inside the oven has dropped to below
280 °C.

If the pyrolitic cleaning programme has
been started by mistake or if the
process is interrupted, the door lock will
be released:

immediately if the temperature is

–

below 280 °C.

not until the oven interior temperature

–

is below 280 °C if the temperature

inside the oven is higher than

280 °C.

Starting a pyrolytic process

^ Take all accessories out of the oven.

^ Select the "Pyrolitic" function.

^ Start the pyrolytic cleaning process.

The door will lock.

You can delay the start of the
pyrolytic process for example, to take
advantage of cheaper night electricity
tarifs. To do this:

^

Select "Start time" and select a time
to start the programme at.

You can change the start time if you
wish at any time up until the delay
period has elapsed.

At the end of the programme a buzzer
will sound and the message
"Programme finished" will appear in the
display.

^

Switch off the oven.

61

Cleaning and care

After the pyrolytic process, any

debris (e.g. ash) can easily be wiped
away.

Remember to wait until the oven has
cooled down before doing so!
Danger of burning.

Try not to wipe over the fibre-glass
seal when cleaning the oven cavity.
It is particularly sensitive and should
not be cleaned unless absolutely
necessary. Rubbing it can damage
it.

Most residues are easily wiped away
with a damp cloth.
Depending on soiling levels in the oven
there may be visible deposits on the
door and below the trim under the oven
cavity. This is best removed using a
non-abrasive sponge or non-abrasive
stainless steel spiral pad and a mild
solution of warm water and washing-up
liquid.

The pyrolytic process will be
cancelled,

if the oven is switched off.

–

if another function is selected during

–

the pyrolytic process.

in the event of a power cut.

–

In the last two instances above, switch
the oven off.

If the oven interior temperature is below
280 °C, the door lock will be released
after a short while. It can then be
opened.
Start the pyrolytic cleaning process
again if necessary.

Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting
discolouration to the surfaces This
discolouration is permanent but will
not affect the efficiency of the
enamel. Do not attempt to remove
these marks.

62

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 hinge 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 door.

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

63

Cleaning and care

To dismantle the oven door

The oven door is made up of four
panes of glass and has vents at the top
and bottom.

When the oven is operating, air is
circulated through the door to keep the
outer pane cool.

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

When cleaning the glass panes
please follow the same instructions
given for cleaning the appliance
front.

Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, sponges or brushes, as
these can scratch the surface.
These could damage the surface.
Scratches can also cause the glass
to break.

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.

^ Flip the glass pane retainers

outwards to open them.

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.

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).

64

You can now remove the inner and the
two middle panes.

^ Gently lift the inner pane up and pull

out of the cover strip.

Cleaning and care

Now gently lift up the upper of the

^

two middle panes and remove it.

^

Remove the seal.

^

Gently lift up the lower of the two
middle panes and remove it.

^

Clean the glass panes and other
parts with a damp 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

Descaling

Only use the descaling tablets
supplied with the appliance. These
have been specially formulated and
are available from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet
on www.miele-shop.com.
Other types of descaling agents will
damage the oven.

Follow the instructions on the
package carefully to avoid
damaging the oven.

Clean the oven interior after
descaling to ensure that all traces of
descaling agent have been
removed.

When to run the descaling
programme

The descaling programme can be run
at any time.

However, to ensure the oven functions
correctly you will be automatically
prompted to run the descaling
programme after a certain number of
oven uses.

Descaling process (overview)

The descaling process takes approx.
90 minutes and includes a number of
stages:

a Preparing the descaling solution

b Drawing in the descaling solution

c Activation phase

d Rinse 1

e Rinse 2

f Rinse 3

70

g Evaporating the residual moisture

Cleaning and care

Preparation

Dissolve one descaling tablet in

^

approx. 600 ml of cold tap water.

Place the universal tray on the top

^

shelf level to collect the descaling
solution after it has been used.

A plastic tube (with clip) is supplied
with your oven so that you do not
have to hold the container with the
descaling agent underneath the
water intake tube.

^

Attach the plastic tube to the end of
the water intake tube. Place the other
end in the bottom of the descaling
solution container and secure it to the
container with the clip.

^

Close the door.

Start the descaling process.

Select the "Descale" option.

^

Press the OK sensor to start the

^

suction process.

The segment display shows how the
descaling process is progressing. You
can hear the pump during the
descaling process.

The amount of solution specified can
be more than the amount which is
actually taken in which means that
some of the solution will be left in the
container at the end of descaling. Top
the container up with approx. 300 ml of
water to the container, as the system
will need to draw in some more liquid
during the activation phase.

Once the descaling solution has been
drawn into the appliance

– "Activation phase" will appear in the

display.

The activation phase takes

approx. 60 minutes.

–

the time left for the activation phase

will be shown counting down in the

display.

The system will take in more liquid at
approximately five minute intervals. You
will hear the noise of the pump for a
moment or so.

The oven lighting and the cooling fan
will remain on during descaling.

71

Cleaning and care

The steam injection system will need to
be cleaned at the end of the
descaling process to remove all traces
of descaling solution.

Prompts to do this will appear in the
display.

Cleaning is carried out by flushing
approx. 1 litre of mains tap water
through the system. The water is
collected in the universal tray. This
process is repeated three times.

Take the universal tray out of the

^

oven and empty it. Place the tray
back in the oven again at the top
shelf level.

^ Unclip the plastic tube from the

container. Rinse the container and fill
with approx. one litre of tap water.
Place the container in the oven, insert
the plastic tube and secure it to the
container with the clip.

^ Start the first rinse.

After the third rinse, residual water will
need to be evaporated from the steam
injection system.

Before proceeding, remove the
plastic tube and the container from
the oven.

The oven will heat up to "Evaporate
residual moisture". The time counts
down in the display.

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

^ Remove the universal tray and empty

it. Clean the oven interior to remove
any condensation and descaling
agent residue.

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

^

Repeat twice.

Empty the universal tray before the
second and third rinse.

unevenly.

74

^ Push the lamp cover back into its retainers, and replace

the shelf runners.

^

Reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity supply.

–

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.

housing unit.

– make sure that the shelf on

which the appliance is placed
does not touch the wall.

– do not fit insulation material

inside the housing unit.

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.

It is a good idea to remove the door
before installing the appliance. The
oven will then be lighter to lift when you
are positioning it the housing unit and
also it will not be possible to use the
handle to lift it by mistake.

Push the appliance back into the
