Warning and safety instructions This Dialog oven complies with all current local and national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material damage. Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before using the Dialog oven. They contain important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the Dialog oven.
Warning and safety instructions The oven compartment is equipped with special lamps to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). These special lamps must only be used for the purpose for which they are intended. They are not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Service Department.
Warning and safety instructions Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. Children’s skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. The Dialog oven gets much hotter during pyrolytic cleaning than during normal use. Do not let children touch the Dialog oven during Pyrolytic cleaning. Risk of injury from the open door. The oven door can support a maximum weight of 15 kg. Children could injure themselves on an open door.
Warning and safety instructions Operating a damaged Dialog oven can result in electro-magnetic leakage and present a hazard to the user as well as affecting the functionality of electronic devices such as mobile phones. Do not use the Dialog oven if: - The door is warped. The door hinges are loose. The door seals are damaged. Holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven compartment walls.
Warning and safety instructions While the Dialog oven is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the oven when original Miele spare parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by original spare parts. There are 2 seals around the door. These seals must never be removed.
Warning and safety instructions Correct use Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. The Dialog oven gets hot when it is being used. You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment, accessories or food. Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or removing it and when working in the hot oven compartment. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the Dialog oven when it is switched on could start to burn. Do not use the Dialog oven to heat up the room.
Warning and safety instructions Food which is stored in the oven compartment or left in it to be kept warm can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the Dialog oven. Always cover food that is left in the oven to keep warm. An accumulation of heat can cause the enamel on the floor of the oven to crack or flake off. Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil or oven liners.
Warning and safety instructions Risk of injury caused by hot food. When heating food up, the heat is created directly in the food itself. For this reason the crockery will remain cooler than the food (except when using oven-proof stoneware). The crockery is only warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food itself after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it.
Warning and safety instructions If you cook eggs without their shells, the yolks could explode due to the resulting pressure. Prick the yolk several times before cooking to avoid this. Eggs heated in their shells can burst, even after they have been taken out of the oven. Eggs can only be cooked in their shells in a specially designed eggboiling device. Do not reheat hard boiled eggs using M Chef functions.
Warning and safety instructions Unsuitable crockery can suffer damage and cause damage to the Dialog oven. Do not use any closed metal containers, aluminium foil, cutlery, metal-plated crockery, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, metal clips or plastic or paper covered wire ties. (see “Suitable cookware for M Chef functions”). Do not leave the Dialog oven unattended when heating or cooking food in containers made of wood or other inflammable materials.
Warning and safety instructions The following applies to stainless steel surfaces: Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it to lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. Do not use sticky notes, adhesive tape or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel surface. Magnets can cause scratches. Do not use the stainless steel surface as a magnetic notice board. Cleaning and care Risk of injury due to electric shock.
Warning and safety instructions Accessories Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used, warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your Dialog oven. The Miele Gourmet oven dish HUB 62-22 (if available) must not be inserted into shelf level 1. This will damage the floor of the oven.

M Chef number set has been used. The more Gourmet units you set, the more energy the food receives. Principle of operation M Chef technology uses electromagnetic waves to heat the food. The Dialog oven combines two different cooking methods: - M Chef heats the entire body of the food using electromagnetic waves. - You don't set any Gourmet units, just the temperature. Gourmet units are automatically allocated to the food.
M Chef Tip: Recipes for M Chef functions and Automatic programmes can be found in the cookbook for your Dialog oven. With M Chef functions you do not set any Gourmet units, just the temperature. Adapting existing recipes to M Chef functions Check the food at regular intervals. If the food has been cooked to your liking, take a note of the number of Gourmet units required. The M Chef functions offer more settings than with conventional cooking functions.
M Chef Gourmet Profi and Gourmet assistant Go to M Chef in the main menu to find the Gourmet Profi and Gourmet assistant menus. Gourmet Profi If you want to carry out all settings for a cooking programme yourself, you will find the M Chef functions here such as M Chef + Fan plus or M Chef + Auto roast (see “Main menu and sub-menus”). Depending on the type of food, select the relevant function and set the temperature, Gourmet units and intensity yourself (see “Operation”).

Suitable cookware for M Chef functions In order for electro-magnetic waves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the crockery being used. Electro-magnetic waves pass through porcelain, glass, card and plastic, but not metal. With this in mind, be sure not to use crockery with metallic decoration or metal lids. Metal reflects electromagnetic waves which can create sparks and the waves are not absorbed by the metal. Fire hazard due to using unsuitable crockery with M Chef functions.
Suitable cookware for M Chef functions - Heat-resistant plastic containers and single-use plastic containers Special plastic containers are available from retail outlets. To protect the environment, we do not recommend the use of single-use containers. Plastic must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 150 °C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food. Only use plastic containers that are heat-resistant (oven-proof).
Energy saving tips Cooking programmes - If possible, use the automatic programmes for cooking food. - Remove all accessories from the oven compartment that are not required for cooking. - In general, if a range of temperatures is given in a recipe or chart, it is best to select the lower temperature and to check the food after the shortest duration. - Preheat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart. - If possible, do not open the door during a cooking programme.
Energy saving tips Residual heat utilisation Settings - In cooking programmes using temperatures greater than 140 °C and with cooking durations longer than 30 minutes, the temperature can be turned down to the lowest possible level about 5 minutes before the end of the cooking programme. The residual heat in the oven is sufficient for cooking the food until it is done. Do not switch the Dialog oven off (see “Warning and safety instructions”).
Operation Switch the Dialog oven on. The main menu will appear. Select the operating mode you want to use (see “Main menu and submenus”). The operating mode will appear in the display. Depending on the operating mode, the recommended values will appear in the display, including the temperature and the Gourmet Units for M Chef operating modes. Change the recommended values for the cooking process if necessary. It is not essential to set a specific number of Gourmet Units for M Chef operating modes.
Operation Changing values and settings for a cooking programme The cooking programme will resume with the new desired temperatures. Depending on the function, as soon as a cooking programme is in progress, you can change the values or settings for this programme.
Operation To increase the degree of cooking (e.g. to well done instead of medium when roasting): Increase the number or Gourmet units. This increases the cooking duration. Changing the intensity The intensity determines how quickly and evenly the food should absorb the energy in the form of Gourmet units. - For most food, e.g. bread, flaky pastry, casseroles, terrines, roast meat and fish.
Operation Setting cooking durations Cooking results can be impaired if there is a long delay between the food being placed in the oven and the start of cooking. Fresh food can change colour and even deteriorate. When baking, the cake mixture or dough can dry out, and the raising agents can lose their effectiveness. Select as short as possible a time until the cooking programme starts.
Operation Changing the set cooking durations Pre-heating the oven Select Change. The Rapid heat-up function is used to quickly pre-heat the oven in some conventional cooking functions. Select Open further settings. Select the desired time and change it. Confirm with OK. These settings will be deleted in the event of a power failure. Deleting the set cooking durations Select Change. Select Open further settings. Set the required duration to -- --. Confirm with OK.
Operation Rapid heat-up The Rapid heat-up function is used to quickly pre-heat the oven. The Rapid heat-up function is switched on as the factory default setting for the following functions: - Fan plus - Auto roast - Conventional heat - Moisture plus If you set a temperature above 100 °C and the Rapid heat-up function is switched on, a rapid heating-up phase heats the oven to the set temperature.
Operation Pre-heat The Pre-heat function is generally switched on in all functions, except when you set a cooking programme to switch on and switch off automatically. In the M Chef functions, Gourmet units are not used during the heating-up phase. As soon as food is placed in the oven, it is heated up and browned by the heater elements from the outside and Gourmet units are added.
Operation Crisp function Change type of heating It is a good idea to use the Crisp function function (moisture reduction) when cooking food which has a moist topping e.g. quiche, pizza, tray bakes with fresh fruit toppings or muffins. This menu option only appears with the M Chef + Moisture plus and Moisture plus functions (see “Functions using moisture – Changing the method of heating”). Poultry in particular gets a nice crisp skin with this function.
Functions using moisture Your Dialog oven is equipped with a steam injection system for cooking with moisture. Baking, roasting and cooking with the M Chef + Moisture plus and Moisture plus functions guarantees optimum steam and air flow for even cooking and browning results. Depending on the function, set the temperature and Gourmet units (if required) and specify the number of bursts of steam.
Functions using moisture Starting a cooking programme using moisture It is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the door during steam injection. This will evaporate during the course of the cooking programme. Prepare the food and place it in the oven. Select the function you want to use (M Chef + Moisture plus or Moisture plus ). The recommended settings will appear in the display. Change the recommended values if necessary. Confirm with OK.
Functions using moisture Preparing and starting the water intake process The message confirming that the intake process is completed will disappear. Fill a suitable container with the required amount of mains water. The sound of the pump running can be heard again briefly. Residual water in the water intake pipe is being drawn into the oven.

It is particularly useful with automatic programmes as you do not need to work through every menu level in order to start your programme. Tip: You can also set menu options that you have entered in MyMiele as your start screen (see “Settings – Start screen”). Add entry Editing MyMiele After selecting Process, you can add entries (up to a maximum of 20), sort entries (if there are more than 4) or delete entries.
Baking Handling food carefully will help protect your health. Cakes, pizzas and french fries should be cooked until golden, not dark brown. Tips on baking - If you are using M Chef functions, the food is cooked from the inside by electro-magnetic waves and at the same time browned on the outside by the heater elements. Cooking durations are shorter this way than with conventional functions. The set temperature is higher in order to achieve the level of browning required in the shorter time.
Baking Notes on the cooking charts Notes on the functions You can find the cooking charts at the end of this book. You can find an overview of all the functions with their recommended values in “Main and sub-menus”. Selecting the temperature As a general rule, select the lower temperature given in the chart. Baking at temperatures higher than those recommended may reduce the cooking duration, but will lead to uneven browning of the food and unsatisfactory cooking results.
Baking Using M Chef + Moisture plus and Moisture plus Using M Chef + Conventional heat and Conventional heat Use these functions for cooking with moisture. Dark metal, enamel, or aluminium baking tins with a matt finish, as well as heat-resistant glass, ceramic, and coated bakeware can be used. Place the food on shelf level 2. Using M Chef + Intensive bake and Intensive bake Use these functions for baking cakes with moist toppings. Do not use these functions for baking thin biscuits.
Roasting Tips for roasting - You can use all crockery made from temperature-resistant materials, e.g. roasting dishes and pots (metal lids can only be used with conventional cooking functions), ovenproof glass dishes, roasting bags and tubes, universal trays, wire racks on top of universal trays. You should only use a grilling and roasting insert (if you have one) on the universal tray and a clay pot with conventional cooking functions.
Roasting As a general rule, select the lower temperature given in the chart. If higher temperatures are used than those specified, the meat will brown on the outside, but will not be properly cooked through. When roasting on the wire rack, set a temperature approx. 10 °C lower than for roasting in a roasting dish. Selecting the cooking duration Unless otherwise stated, the durations given in the cooking chart are for an oven which has not been pre-heated.
Roasting Using M Chef + Auto roast and Auto roast Food probe Use these functions for roasting meat, fish and poultry that needs to be well browned as well as sirloin joints and fillet. The oven heats initially to a high searing temperature (approx. 230 °C) during the searing phase. As soon as this temperature has been reached, the oven automatically drops the temperature back down to the preselected cooking temperature (continued roasting temperature). Place the food on shelf level 1.
Roasting Important usage notes - You can place the meat in a pot or on the rack. - The metal tip of the food probe must be fully inserted into the centre of the food so that the temperature sensor reaches more or less to the core. - When cooking poultry, insert the metal tip into the thickest part of the breast. Press the breast with your index finger and thumb to find the thickest part. - The metal tip must not touch any bone or be inserted in areas with a lot of fat.
Roasting Delaying the start of a cooking programme with food probe You can set the cooking process to start at a later time. Select Change | Open further settings and enter a time in the Start at field. In automatic programmes, select Start later. The finish time can be calculated approximately because the duration of a cooking programme is about the same, whether or not the food probe is used.
Grilling Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. If you grill with the door open, hot air will escape from the oven instead of being cooled by the cooling fan. The control elements will get hot. Grill with the oven door closed. Tips for grilling - Pre-heating is necessary when grilling. Pre-heat the top heat/grill element for approx. 5 minutes with the door closed. Do not use the baking tray. - To grill, brush the wire rack with oil and then place the food on the wire rack. - Trim the meat if necessary.
Grilling Notes on the cooking charts Selecting the cooking duration You can find the cooking charts at the end of this book. Grill thinner cuts of meat/slices of fish for approx. 6–8 minutes per side. It is best to grill food of a similar thickness at the same time so that the cooking durations do not vary too much. Take note of the temperature range, the shelf levels and the durations. These take the size of the meat and cooking practices into account.
Grilling Notes on the functions Using Economy grill You can find an overview of all the functions with their recommended values in “Main and sub-menus”. Use this function to grill flat thin cuts in smaller quantities and for browning small baked dishes. The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures. Do not use the food probe when using the grill functions. Do not store the food probe in the oven compartment when it is not being used.
Cleaning and care Risk of injury caused by hot Unsuitable cleaning agents surfaces. The Dialog oven gets hot when it is being used. You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment or accessories. Allow the heater elements, oven compartment and accessories to cool before manual cleaning. To avoid damaging the surfaces, do not use: Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Cleaning and care If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove. If items are used frequently without being cleaned, it may become very difficult to clean them. It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately. The accessories are not dishwasher-safe. Tip: Soiling caused by spilt fruit juices and cake mixtures is best removed while the oven compartment is still warm.
Cleaning and care Removing stubborn soiling Spilt fruit and roasting juices may cause lasting discolouration or matt patches on surfaces. This discolouration will not affect the properties of the surface finish. Do not attempt to remove these stains. Only use the equipment specified. Baked-on deposits can be removed with a glass scraper or with a stainless-steel spiral pad (e.g. Spontex Spirinett), hot water and washing-up liquid.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the oven compartment by means of Pyrolytic Instead of cleaning the oven compartment manually you can run the Pyrolytic function. During pyrolytic cleaning the oven compartment reaches temperatures in excess of 400 °C. Any residual soiling is burnt off and turned to ash by the high temperatures.
Cleaning and care Starting pyrolytic cleaning Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. The Dialog oven gets much hotter during pyrolytic cleaning than during normal use. Do not let children touch the Dialog oven during Pyrolytic cleaning. Select Maintenance . Select Pyrolytic. Select the level required according to the amount of soiling. Confirm with OK. Follow the instructions on the display. Confirm with OK.
Cleaning and care Risk of injury caused by hot Pyrolytic cleaning interrupted surfaces. At the end of the pyrolytic cleaning programme, the Dialog oven will still be very hot. You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment or accessories. Allow the heater elements, oven compartment and accessories to cool down before removing any pyrolytic residues or oiling the side runners.
Cleaning and care Descale The frequency of descaling will depend on the water hardness level in your area. Descaling process sequence Once the descaling process has been started it must be completed through to the end. It cannot be cancelled. The descaling process can be run at any time. Descaling takes approx.
Cleaning and care Preparing the descaling process You will need a container of approx. 1 litre capacity. A plastic tube (with suction cup) is supplied with your oven so that you do not have to hold the container with the descaling agent underneath the water intake pipe. We recommend using the descaling tablets supplied. They have been specially developed for Miele for optimum results.
Cleaning and care The amount of solution specified can be more than the amount which is actually taken in. Some of the solution may therefore be left in the container at the end of descaling. A message will appear to confirm that the intake process is completed. Confirm with OK. The activation phase will begin. You can follow the time counting down in the display. Leave the container with the tube connected to the water intake pipe in the oven compartment. Top the container up with approx.
Cleaning and care Evaporating residual moisture Finalising the descaling process After the third rinse residual moisture evaporation will commence. At the end of residual water evaporation, an information window appears with tips on cleaning after the descaling process. Remove the container and tube from the oven compartment. Close the door. Confirm with OK. Danger of injury caused by steam. Steam can cause severe scalding. Do not open the door while the residual water is being evaporated.
Problem solving guide Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be needed. The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault, and to correct it. Problem Cause and remedy The display is dark. You have selected QuickTouch | Off. When the Dialog oven is switched off, the display is switched off. As soon as the Dialog oven is turned on, the main menu will appear.
Problem solving guide Problem Maximum operating duration appears in the display. reached Cause and remedy The Dialog oven has been operating for an unusually long time. This has triggered the safety switch-off function. Confirm with OK. Touch sensor control to delete the message Process finished. The Dialog oven is ready to use again. F32 appears in the display. The Door lock for pyrolytic cleaning has not locked. Switch the Dialog oven off and then back on again.
Problem solving guide Problem Cause and remedy During a cooking programme with an M Chef function, the cooling fan is running with a very high spin speed. The Dialog oven can get much hotter when using M Chef functions than it does with conventional cooking functions. The spin speed will reduce automatically at the end of the cooking programme. If it happens too frequently, check that the appliance is correctly installed (see “Installation”). With very small amounts of food in the oven (e.g.
Problem solving guide Problem Cause and remedy The food is not sufficiently browned after adding the set number of Gourmet units. A temperature has been set that is too low. Select a higher temperature. For a more intensive browning level, finish cooking the food using a conventional function. The browning of cakes/ The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected. biscuits is uneven. There will always be a slight unevenness in browning.
Problem solving guide Problem Cause and remedy The accessories make noises when being pushed into or pulled out of the oven. The pyrolytic resistant surface of the side runners creates friction when accessories are being pushed into or pulled out of the oven. To reduce the friction, add a few drops of heat resistant cooking oil to some kitchen paper and use this to lubricate the side runners. Repeat this after every pyrolytic cleaning programme. The oven lighting does not switch on.
