Features
Oven 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 cooking
programmes off, or on and off
–Settings can be customised
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 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.
When the temperature in the oven has
fallen sufficiently, the cooling fan will
switch off automatically.
Pyrolytic self-cleaning programme
The oven interior can be kept clean by
using the Pyrolytic .cleaning
programme.
This programme heats the oven interior
up to 460 °C. Any residual soiling is
broken down and reduced to ash by
the high temperatures.
For safety reasons the door is locked at
the beginning of the pyrolytic
programme.
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
Once the set time has elapsed, the
heating elements will switch off
automatically.
For safety reasons the door will remain
locked until the temperature in the oven
cavity has dropped below 280 °C.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.

PerfectClean treated surfaces
The following surfaces are all treated
with PerfectClean enamelling:
–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.
Door contact switch
There is a door contact switch located
centrally underneath the control panel.
If the door is opened during operation,
the door contact switch causes the
oven heating to switch off.
This helps reduce the amount of heat
lost from the oven cavity, e.g. when
checking food.
Vented oven door
The oven door is made up of a total of
four panels. There is an opening at the
top and bottom of these.
During operation cool air is passed
through the oven door to keep the outer
panel cool and safe to touch.
If necessary the oven door can be
dismantled for cleaning. See "Cleaning
and Care".
Retractable controls
All controls are retractable at the "0"
position.
Press them to release or retract them.
Do not push them in from any other
position as this would break them.
Energy efficiency rating
according to EN 50304
These appliances are rated energy
efficiency class Ain accordance with
EN 50304. Tests were carried out using
Gentle bake.

Accessories
The following accessories are supplied
with this oven.
These and other accessories are also
available to order from the Miele Spare
Parts Department, your Miele Dealer or
via the Internet (depending on country).
See "Extra accessories" further on in
this booklet for more details.
Baking 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 them out.
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
circulating air are deposited on the
roasting 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.

Anti-splash tray
(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.
Handle
(depending on model)
The handle makes it easier to take the
baking tray, grill pan and rack out of the
oven, or to put them into it.
The two prongs at the top go inside the
pan, rack or tray and the U-shaped
supports underneath.

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
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 therefore dispose of it
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.
