Features
Electronic controls
In addition to operating the various
cooking programmes to bake, roast
and grill, the electronic controls also
offer the following features:
– Clock display
– Minute minder
– Timer to automatically switch cook-
ing programmes on and off with auto-
matic use made of residual heat
– Programme lock, to prevent uninten-
tional altering of programme settings
– System lock, to prevent the ap-
pliance being used unintentionally
– Safety cut-out
Cooling system
As soon as the oven is switched on a
cooling fan is automatically engaged.
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 controls and door handle will get
slightly warm. They are quite safe to
touch.
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 in the oven housing unit. When
the temperature in the oven has fallen
sufficiently the cooling fan will switch
off automatically.
Door contact switch
There is a door contact switch in the
right hand door hinge.
If the door is opened during operation,
the door contact switch causes the
oven heating, and the fan if a "Fan" set-
ting is being used, to be switched off.
This helps reduce the amount of heat
lost from the oven cavity, e.g. when
basting a roast.
PerfectClean treated surfaces
The following surfaces are all treated
with PerfectClean enamelling.
– Oven interior
– Runners
– Baking tray
– Grill pan
– Anti-splash tray
– Rack
PerfectClean enamelled surfaces have
very good anti-stick properties and are
much easier to keep clean than conven-
tional enamel, if cleaned regularly.
See "Cleaning and care" for more infor-
mation.
Catalytic enamelled surfaces
The back panel, roof liner and side
liners (if fitted) are coated with dark
grey catalytic enamel. Soiling from oil
and fat is burnt off these surfaces when
very high temperatures are used in the
oven.
This makes it easier to clean inac-
cessible areas of the oven.
See "Cleaning and care" for more infor-
mation.

Catalyser
The catalyser is fitted into the oven’s
ventilation system.
It filters fat from the escaping vapours
and thus reduces cooking smells.
Accessories
The following accessories are supplied
with this oven.
These and other accessories are also
available to order from the Miele Spare
Parts Dept. or your Miele Dealer. See
"Extra Accessories" further on in this
booklet for more details.
aking tray, grill pan and rack
The baking tray, grill pan and rack are
fitted with non-tip safety notches which
prevent them being pulled right out
when they only need to be partially
pulled out.
When pushing the tray, pan and
rack back in, always ensure that the
safety notches are at the rear of the
oven (see illustration).
The tray, pan and rack can then only
be taken out of the oven by raising
them upwards and then pulling out.

Telescopic carriage
The telescopic carriage has 5 levels of
runners and can be drawn right out of
the oven. This gives a good overview of
all the cooking in progress.
When pushing the baking trays, grill
pan or rack into the oven, make
sure that the telescopic carriage is
pushed completely in.
If you wish to use only the lowest run-
ner level for cooking, the side rails can
be taken out.
This has the advantage of making more
space available inside the oven, for
larger roasting tins. It also keeps the
runners clean.
Roasting filter
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.
The droplets of fat caught up in the cir-
culating air are deposited on the roast-
ing filter. This helps to keep the oven
and the area behind the interior back
panel cleaner.
Do not use the roasting filter when
baking. This would increase the
times needed for baking and give
uneven browning results.

Roast probe
The roast probe enables the roasting
process to be monitored simply and re-
liably. See "Roasting with the Roast
probe" for details.
Rotisserie
For grilling thicker items such as
stuffed meat, poultry and kebabs. The
grill motor turns the rotisserie to grill
food evenly from all sides. Food does
not need to be manually turned when
using the rotisserie.
Anti-splash tray
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 amd mak-
ing the oven dirty. The juices can then
be used for making gravy and sauces.
Slide opener
Use the slide opener for lifting off the
light cover.
