There is an opening at the top and bottom of these. – Runners – Baking tray – Grill pan – Rack PerfectClean enamelled surfaces have very good anti-stick properties and are much easier to keep clean than conventional enamel, if cleaned regularly. See "Cleaning and care" for more information.
Description of the appliance Accessories Roasting filter The following accessories are supplied with this oven. The roasting filter must be fitted in front of the fan when cooking anything fatty, or where food is likely to splatter, e.g. when open roasting or grilling meat. These and other accessories are also available to order from the Miele Spare Parts Department or your Miele Dealer. See "Extra accessories" further on in this booklet for more details.
Description of the appliance Anti-splash tray Handle (depending on model) (depending on model) The anti-splash tray should be placed in the deep-sided grill pan when grilling or roasting. The juices from the food being cooked collect under the anti-splash tray. This prevents them from spitting and making the oven dirty. The juices can then be used for making gravy and sauces. 8 The handle makes it easier to take the baking tray, grill pan and rack out of the oven, or to put them into it.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these operating instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions The appliance must be built in before operation to ensure that no electrical components are accessible. Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. Installation, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with national and local safety regulations.
Warning and Safety instructions Use oven gloves when placing food in the oven, turning or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. When working with "Conventional" heating or when grilling, the element in the roof of the oven and the roof liner become very hot, and there is a danger of being burnt. 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.
Warning and Safety instructions Bake larger frozen products, such as pizzas, on baking paper on the rack itself or in the pizza pan (see "Extra accessories"). Placing them on the baking tray or in the grill pan can cause the metal to distort, and 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 in the grill pan.
Warning and Safety instructions When using kitchen appliances connected to sockets near the oven, ensure that the cable cannot get trapped in a hot oven door, which could melt the cable insulation. Danger of electric shock. Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. If using alcohol in your recipes, high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on the hot heating elements.
Safety feature Door lock for pyrolytic mode For safety reasons the 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 Pyrolytic . 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. The door can then be opened about 30 seconds later.
Before using for the first time Depending on model, the oven is supplied with the controls pushed in. They have to be released before the oven can be used. Setting the time of day for the first time On models with a clock/timer you also have to set the time of day before the oven can be used. The time can only be entered when the function selector is at "0". In the display: – the clock symbol m (time of day) will light up, – and "I2:00" and triangle V underneath the m symbol will start flashing.
Before using for the first time Cleaning and heating up for the first time Before use, please remove - any stickers from the floor of the oven, baking trays, grill pan etc. - any cork spacers at the sides above the oven cavity. - any protective foil from the oven front. ^ Before heating it up it is a good idea to wipe the oven out with a damp cloth first. This way any dust or bits of packaging that may have accumulated in the oven cavity during storage and unpacking will be removed.
Description of the oven systems Fan plus Y Conventional A This system works by the circulation of heated air. With the conventional method of heating, radiant heat is directed onto the food from above and below. It is useful where a fairly long cooking time is required and a deep colour and good rise are needed. A fan situated on the back wall of the oven sucks in the air, heats it over a ring element and blows the heated air through the carefully spaced openings in the rear panel of the oven.
Description of the oven systems Grill n Pyrolytic cleaning . Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes with the oven door closed before grilling. In this mode the oven cleans itself. The grill is ready for use when it glows red a few minutes after being switched on. Grill with the oven door closed. Fan grill N Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes with the oven door closed before grilling. The hot air from the grill is distributed over the food by the fan on the rear wall of the oven.

Baking The following settings are recommended for baking: – Fan plus Y – Conventional A Bakeware For the best baking results make sure that you chose bakeware in a material suitable for the particular heating system. Fan plus Y Most types of heat-resistant tins or dishes are suitable. Conventional A The following baking tins give an even, brown result: Dark metal, aluminium or enamel tins with a matt finish. Heat resistant glass and ceramic dishes can also be used. Avoid bright, shiny metal tins.
Baking Conventional A Only use dark baking tins with a matt finish. Bright, shiny tins give an uneven or pale result, and in some cases the cakes might not cook properly. Place tins centrally on the rack on shelf level 1 or 2. Older recipes and cookery books New guidelines (German standard DIN 44547 has been replaced by European standard EN 60350) have led to slight adjustments in oven temperature settings.
Baking Frozen food When baking frozen products such as cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the lowest temperature quoted on the manufacturer’s packaging. Place such items on baking parchment directly on the rack or in the pizza pan (extra accessory). Placing them on the baking tray or in the grill pan can cause the metal to distort. This distortion would increase with subsequent use. Small items of frozen food such as oven chips or potato croquettes can be cooked on a baking tray or in the grill pan.

Cleaning and care PerfectClean Before using for the first time remove any stickers from PerfectClean surfaces. The enamelled surfaces of the baking tray, grill pan, anti-splash tray (if fitted), rack and runners have been treated with a special type of enamelling called "PerfectClean". This surface has very good anti-stick properties which is much easier to keep clean than conventional oven enamel, if cleaned regularly.
Cleaning and care Apply a spray oven cleaner to the soiled areas. Leave to take effect for a couple of minutes only! If necessary use a soft sponge (e.g. a Vileda sponge), soft nylon brush or a scraper suitable for glass surfaces to loosen the soiling. Repeat the process if necessary. After cleaning rinse thoroughly with clean water and then dry thoroughly. Important For optimum performance of the PerfectClean enamel it is important to clean the oven and accessories after each use.
Cleaning and care Oven interior Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven interior The oven interior and roof liner are coated with dark pyrolytic enamel which facilitates cleaning. Before starting a pyrolytic cleaning process please note the following advice: This is a particularly hard enamel with an extremely smooth surface. Because of its anti-stick properties most debris can be easily removed with warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft cloth. This should be done after each use.
Cleaning and care During the pyrolytic process the oven is heated to approx. 460 °C . Any residual soiling is burnt off by the high temperatures. The oven door is automatically locked shortly after the pyrolytic cleaning process starts. Depending on soiling levels you can choose between two cleaning programmes: – PY I lasting approx. 2 hours – PY 2 lasting approx. 2 hours 30 minutes For safety reasons the door will remain locked until the temperature in the oven cavity has dropped below 280 °C.
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.
Cleaning and care To remove the oven door Please note: the oven door is heavy and should be gripped firmly at both sides when being removed or refitted. The oven door is connected to the oven by hinges. ^ Then lift the door upwards as far as it will go. Do not attempt to take the door off the hinge guides when it is in a horizontal position. The guides will close, and damage the appliance. Danger of injury. Before removing the door, the locking clamps on both hinges have to be released.
Cleaning and care To dismantle the oven door In the rare event that condensate has worked its way in between the glass panes, the door can be dismantled in order to clean in between the panes. Do not use scouring agents, hard sponges or brushes or sharp metal tools to clean glass as these can scratch the surface. Do not use an oven spray. This would damage the surface of the aluminium surrounds. ^ Always remove the oven door before dismantling it. ^ Place the door on a protective surface (e.g.
Cleaning and care ^ Then carefully lift the middle panes up and out. ^ The individual panes can then be cleaned. Handle them very carefully to avoid the risk of breakage. ^ Replace the first of the middle panes. Make sure the cut-off corner is positioned at the top right hand side. When putting the door back together again replace the middle panes first. These panes are identical and both have a corner missing.
Cleaning and care To refit the door ^ Finally replace the black printed inner pane. The print should face the middle pane. ^ 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. ^ Lift the upper of the two middle panes up a little and refit the spacers to the panes. Then re-position them back next to the hinge guides.
Cleaning and care ^ Open the door fully. To remove the runners Make sure the oven heating elements are switched off and cool. Danger of burning. ^ Flip both locking clamps back up to lock them.
