The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Before connecting the appliance,
~
make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and rated load)
match the mains electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a competent,
qualified electrician 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

undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the warranty will be
invalidated.
During installation, maintenance and
~
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
it is switched off at the mains fuse,
–
the screw-out fuse is removed (in
–
countries where this is applicable),
it is switched off at the wall socket
–
and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or it is switched off at the
isolator.
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until after maintenance
or repair work has been carried out.
Faulty components must only be

This appliance must not be installed
~
and operated in mobile installations
(e.g. on a ship).
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
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 and Fan Grill \ functions.
Excessively long cooking times can
lead to food drying out and burning, or
could even cause it to catch fire. Fire
hazard!
Do not use Full Grill Y 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
Heat V instead.
If using alcohol in your recipes, high
~
temperatures can cause the alcohol to
vaporise and even to ignite on the hot
heating elements.
Alcohol should be burnt off before the
dish is placed in the oven to avoid this
danger. Fire hazard!
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
Heat V/Bottom Heat X/Rapid
Heat-up S.
This would cause concentrations 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.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
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 water to food on a hot
~
baking tray or directly onto food in a hot
oven. The steam created could cause
serious burns or scalding and the
sudden change in temperature can
damage the enamel.
Always ensure that food is suitably
~
cooked or reheated.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at
temperatures over 70 °C for a minimum
of 10 minutes. Therefore when cooking
or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is
particularly important that food is fully
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the heat is allowed to
spread evenly throughout the food
being cooked. This can be achieved
by stirring and/or turning the food
during cooking.
Only plastic containers which are
~
declared by the manufacturer as being
suitable for use in an oven may be
used.
Other types of plastic containers melt at
high temperatures, and could damage
the oven.
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 oven. If spare
parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the manufacturer's warranty,
and Miele cannot accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
Do not heat up unopened tins or jars
~
of food in the oven. Pressure can build
up and they may explode, resulting in
injury or damage.
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
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. Therefore,
please do not 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 the
appliance or the machine to prevent
misuse.

Features
Oven controls
The oven controls offer various cooking
programmes to bake, roast and grill.
Safety features
Cooling fans
Cooling fans will come on automatically
when a cooking programme is started.
The cooling fans mix 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 fans 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 in the oven housing unit.
When the temperature in the oven has
fallen sufficiently, the cooling fans will
switch off automatically.
PerfectClean treated surfaces
The following surfaces have been
treated with PerfectClean enamel:
Oven interior
–
Universal tray
–
Rack
–
Shelf runners
–
Anti-splash insert (if available)
–
PerfectClean enamelled surfaces have
very good anti-stick properties and are
much easier to keep clean than
conventional enamel, if cleaned
regularly.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.
Catalytic enamelled surfaces
The back panel is 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.
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

23
Baking tips
Eating food which has been cooked
correctly is important for good
health.
Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc.
until they are golden brown. Do not
overcook them.
Bakeware
Please take into account the material of
your bakeware in your choice of oven
function:
Fan Plus U
Any heat-resistant material can be
used.
Baking paper
Because of its PerfectClean anti-stick
surface, the universal tray does not
need to be greased or lined with
baking paper for baking.
Baked goods are easily removed when
done.
Baking paper 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
Conventional Heat 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.
24
When tray baking, i.e. cakes using
the universal tray as a cooking
container:
Remember to use double the
quanities of ingredients quoted for
standard baking trays.
Rectangular tins
Place cakes in rectangular tins with the
longer side across the width of the oven
for optimum heat distribution and even
results.
Notes about the charts
Refer to the baking chart and
cookbook supplied with your oven.
Temperature, baking duration
To achieve even results without
over-browning the food,
always select the middle
–
temperature in the range 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 an uneven
browning, and unsatisfactory
cooking result.
– 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.
A maximum of two trays can be used at
the same time.
Baking tips
Number
of trays
U 11
2 1and3*
V 1 1 or 2
* When baking moist cakes, bread
etc., do not use more than one tray
at a time.
Frozen food
When baking frozen products such as
cakes, pizzas and baguettes, use the
lowest temperature quoted on the
manufacturer's packaging. Bake on a
layer of baking paper placed on the
rack. Cooking large frozen items on the
baking tray or the universal tray can
cause the metal to distort, thus making
the trays difficult to remove when hot.
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 parchment and select the
lowest temperature quoted on the
manufacturer's packaging. Turn several
times during cooking.

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
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 roasting pan on the rack into a cold oven.
Exception: for roasting beef/fillet.
– Do not select a higher temperature than 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 Heat 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 method is to
allow 15 to 20 minutes per 450 grammes, according to the
type of meat, plus approx. 20 minutes, adjusting the length
of time as roasting proceeds to obtain the required result.

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 the cooking
time with slightly salted water.
Roasting tips
Frozen meat
Do not roast deep frozen meat. Meat
should be thoroughly defrosted before
roasting.
29

Notes on low temperature cooking
Cooking at low temperatures is ideal for
cooking beef, pork, veal or lamb when
a particularly tender result is required.
First the meat needs to be seared all
over briefly at a high temperature on
the cooktop in order to seal it.
By using a low temperature together
with a long cooking duration, meat will
be cooked to perfection and be very
tender. The meat is allowed to relax
again. The meat juices inside the joint
start to circulate evenly throughout the
meat to reach the outer layers.
This leads to very tender and succulent
results.
Please note:
– Use lean meat which has been
correctly hung and trimmed. Bones
should be removed before cooking.
– For searing, use a suitable cooking
oil that can withstand high
temperatures.
–
Do not cover meat during cooking.
–
Cooking takes between 2-4 hours
depending on the size and amount
of meat and on the degree of
doneness and browning required.
Procedure for low temperature
cooking
Use a rack and the universal tray.
Place the rack and universal tray on
^
the second shelf.
Select Conventional Heat V.
^
Pre-heat the oven including the rack
^
and the the universal tray at 130 °C
for approximately 15 minutes.
Whilst the oven is pre-heating, sear
^
the meat thoroughly on the cooktop.
Cooking times and core temperatures
can be found in the table if you have a
manual food probe.
Danger of burning!
,
The top heating element/grill
element is hot.
^ Place the meat on the rack.
^ Insert a food probe, if available, into
the meat.
^
Reduce the temperature to 100 °C.
^
Cooking the meat.
–
The meat can be carved immediate
ly. It does not need to rest.

Grilling tips
Danger of burning!
,
Grill with the oven door closed.
If you grill with the door open, hot air will escape from the oven instead of being
cooled by the cooling fans. This will cause the controls to get hot.

–
Flat pieces of fish and meat usually take 6–8 minutes
per side. Thicker pieces take a little longer.
–
With rolled meat, allow approx. 10 minutes per cm
diameter.
–
Turn food half-way through cooking.
34
Grilling tips
Preparing food for grilling
Rinse the meat briefly under running
cold water, pat dry. 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
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").

Grilling tips
Fan Grilling guide (Fan Grill \)
Use the Fan Grill function for meat, fish, poultry and vegetables.
–
Always pre-heat to desired temperature before Fan Grilling.
–
It is not necessary to turn food when Fan Grilling.
–
The door must be closed during Fan Grilling.
–
When using red meat, pat the meat dry before Fan Grilling as this encourages a
–
richer colour.
Note: all temperatures are approximations and must be varied according to the
–

Grilling tips
Grilling guide (Full Grill Y)
Use for thick toasts, muffins, cheese on toast, foccacia, bruschetta and bacon.
–
Pre-heat grill for at least 15 minutes.
–
Select the appropriate shelf level for the thickness of the food.
–
Thinner foods can be positioned on shelf 3, while thicker foods should be
–
grilled on shelf 2.
Grill until food is golden brown and crispy.
–
Door must be closed for grilling.
37
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. Do not refreeze food
once it has thawed.
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.
Food Weight Time in
min.
Chicken 800 g 90–120

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 desserts and pizza on baking paper on the rack rather than on the
pizza tray or the universal tray. Cooking large frozen items on the baking tray or
the universal tray can cause the metal to distort, thus making the trays difficult
to remove when hot. 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.

FlexiClip telescopic runners
(optional accessory)
Do not clean FlexiClip telescopic
runners in a dishwasher. This would
remove the special lubricant.
To prevent damage to accessories
when cleaning, do not use:
Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
–
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
Stainless steel cleaners
–
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,
– cleaning of the bearings.
42
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 oven is used frequently without
being cleaned, it may become very
difficult or even impossible to get clean
again.
Cleaning and care
Normal soiling
–
Clean the front using a damp
microfibre cloth or with a clean
sponge and a solution of warm water
and washing-up liquid. Wipe the
surfaces dry using a soft cloth.
Heavy soiling
–
If necessary, the reverse of a
non-scratching washing-up sponge
can be used. Cleaning is made
easier if soiling is first dampened
with a solution of washing-up liquid.
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.
The runners may appear
discoloured or a lighter colour in
places after they have been
cleaned. This will not affect the
functioning of the runners in any
way.
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 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.

Cleaning and care
Oven interior
Danger of burning!
,
Allow the oven to cool down before
cleaning by hand.
It is best to clean the oven interior
each time the oven is used. If this is
not done, subsequent soiling from
baking and roasting will become
worse and make cleaning harder. In
extreme cases this can cause
damage to the surface material.
The enamelled oven interior has been
treated with PerfectClean.
Please refer to the section on
"PerfectClean" for information on
cleaning and care.
Due to the bright grey colour of the
enamel, the oven interior appears very
light and provides an optimal view of
the food.
Moreover, any soiling can be easily
spotted and removed after cooking.
To make cleaning easier,
– remove the oven door,
– dismantle the door,
– remove the FlexiClip runners (if
available),
– take out the side runners,
– remove the catalytic enamelled back
panel,
– lower the top heating/grill element.
Instructions for doing this 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
programme with a cloth or a clean
sponge and a solution of hot water with
a little washing up liquid. Wipe dry
using a soft cloth.
The back panel is coated with dark
grey catalytic enamel.
See "Cleaning and care" for information
on cleaning catalytic enamelled panels.

PerfectClean
PerfectClean treated surfaces
Oven interior
–
Universal tray
–
Anti-splash insert (if available)
–
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.
Cleaning and care
Allow the oven to cool down
,
before cleaning by hand.
Danger of burning!
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 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 a ceramic knife on
PerfectClean treated surfaces as it
could cause scratching.
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
cooktops
–
Steel 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
–
Washing in a dishwasher
–
Selective cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
45
Cleaning and care
Remove any residual cleaning
agents with clean water as these will
also hinder the anti-stick effect.
Normal 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.
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. If
necessary, the reverse of a
non-scratching washing-up sponge can
be used. Cleaning is made easier if
soiling is first dampened with a solution
of washing-up liquid.
Stubborn soiling
Don't use standard oven cleaner
which is very caustic. Miele
recommends the use of the Original
Miele oven cleaner. Remove the
catalytic back panel before using it
as the the chemicals used in oven
sprays will damage catalytic
enamel, rendering it ineffective.
Allow the PerfectClean surfaces to cool
down to room temperature before
cleaning. Apply a proprietary oven
cleaning spray (such as the Original
Miele oven cleaner) and leave to take
effect for approx. ten minutes.
When using the Original Miele oven
cleaner, the time stated on the
packaging can be slightly extended if
needed.
If necessary, the scouring pad on the
back of a non-scratching washing-up
sponge or a soft nylon brush can be
used to loosen the soiling.
These cleaning tips will help to ensure
that the surface is cleaned 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.
Note:
– Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures is 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 or roasting residues
may cause lasting discolouration to
the surfaces and can cause matt
areas to appear.
This discolouration is permanent but
will not affect the efficiency of the
enamel. Clean these following the
instructions given above and do not
use force to remove them.
Repeat the process if necessary.
46
Catalytic enamel surfaces
The back panel is coated with dark
grey catalytic enamel.
Soiling from oil and fat is burnt off this
surface 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 agents,
– hard brushes or abrasive
sponges
– oven sprays.
Remove catalytic enamel parts from
the oven before cleaning the
PerfectClean oven surfaces with the
Original Miele oven spray.
Note that deposits of spices, syrups
and similar substances are not
removed from the catalytic coating by
this process. These must 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 catalytic panel from
the oven to do this.
Cleaning and care
Select Fan Plus U.
^
Set the highest temperature setting.
^
Run the oven for approx. 1 hour. The
length of time will depend on the level
of soiling.
If the catalytic coated panel is 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 become ineffective
through improper use or heavy
soiling, a replacement can be
obtained from Miele.
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:
^
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
PerfectClean surfaces and becoming
impossible to remove.
47
Cleaning and care
To remove the oven door
For when soiling has entered between
the panes of glass or for easier access
into the oven cavity for cleaning, you
may wish 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.
Never attempt to pull the door off
,
the hinge guides from a horizontal
position. The hinges can flip back
and cause damage to the
appliance.
^
To release the locking clamps on the
hinges, turn them upwards as far as
they will go until they are at an angle.
48
The door should be gripped firmly at
the sides and not at the handle
when being removed. The handle
could break off and damage the
door, i.e. cause the safety glass to
shatter.
Make sure that you lift the door off
equally on both sides.
^
Hold the door securely at both sides
and lift upwards off the hinge guides.
To dismantle the oven door
The oven door is made up of three
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 soiling has worked its way in between
the glass panes, the door can be
dismantled in order to clean in between
the panes.
Clean the glass in the same way as
you would clean the appliance front.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard
sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean glass as these can
scratch the surface. Scratches can
cause the glass to break.
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.
Do not use an oven spray. This will
damage the surface of the
aluminium surrounds.
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 panels.
49
Cleaning and care
^ Gently lift the inner pane up and out
of the plastic strip.
^ Clean the glass panes and other
parts with a damp microfibre cloth or
a clean sponge and a solution of hot
water with a little washing-up liquid.
Dry all parts with a soft cloth.
^ To reassemble the door:
^ Secure the seal to the middle pane.
^ Gently lift the middle pane and
remove it together with the seal.
^ Remove the seal from the pane.
50
Cleaning and care
Refit the middle pane and the seal.
^
^ Push the inner pane into the plastic
strip and insert it in the retainers.
Flip the glass pane retainers inwards
^
to close them.
51
Cleaning and care
To refit the door
The hinges must not be closed
without the door attached as it will
be extremely difficult to open them
without the leverage of the door.
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, on
closing the door, the hinges could
work loose from the guide holes and
this could result in damage to the
door.
^
Hold the door securely at both sides
and carefully fit it back onto the hinge
guides.
Make sure that the door goes back
on straight.
52
Cleaning and care
To remove the shelf runners
Make sure the oven heating
,
elements are switched off and cool.

,
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. Ensure current is not
supplied until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The oven does not
heat up.
^ Check whether a function and a temperature have been
set.
^ Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. If it has,
contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
A noise can be
heard after a
cooking
programme.
The cooling fans continue to run for a while after the oven
has been switched off to prevent any humidity building up

unit. When the temperature has fallen sufficiently, the fans
switch off automatically.
55
Problem solving guide
Problem Possible cause and remedy
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
The oven lighting
doesn't work.
^
Switch off and unplug at the socket, or remove the fuse,
or switch off at the isolator as appropriate.
Unscrew the lamp cover with a quarter-turn to the left and
^
then pull downward from the housing.
When purchasing a new lamp, take the old one with you
^
to make sure you obtain the correct replacement (Osram
66725 AM/A, 230 V, 25 W, G9).
Replace the lamp cover and tighten with a turn to the
^
right.
Connect the appliance to the electricity supply.
^
Cakes and biscuits
are not cooked
properly after
following the times
given in the chart.
Browning is uneven. There will always be a slight unevenness.
There are spots like
rust on the catalytic
surfaces.
^ Check that the correct temperature has been set.
^ Check if you have amended the recipe. The addition of
more liquids or more eggs makes a moister mix which
would require a longer baking time.
^ If browning is very uneven, check whether the
temperature was set too high, or whether the correct shelf
level was used.
With Conventional Heat V check the colour and material
of the baking tins being used. Light-coloured, shiny, or
thin-walled 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.
