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 cooking
programmes off, or on and off with
automatic use made of residual heat
– Settings can be customised.
Safety features
You can activate a system lock, to
prevent the appliance being used
unintentionally. See "System lock" for
details.
Safety switch-off is triggered
automatically if the oven is operated for
an unusually long period of time.
The period of time will depend on the
particular oven function being used.
The oven will switch off automatically
and "Fault 55" will appear in the display.
The oven can be used again immedi-
ately after switching it off and back on.
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.
PerfectClean treated surfaces
The following surfaces are all treated
with PerfectClean enamelling:
–Oven interior
–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.
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 keep
inaccessible areas of the oven clean.
See "Cleaning and care" for more
information.

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 automatically
switches off the heating elements, and
the fan if a "Fan" setting is being used.
This helps reduce the amount of heat
lost from the oven cavity, e.g. when
checking food.
Retractable controls
All controls are retractable.
Press them to release or retract 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. Otherwise baking times will
be longer and results uneven.
Roast probe
The roast probe enables the roasting
process to be monitored simply and
reliably. See "Roasting with the Roast
probe" for details.
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.
Description of the appliance
7

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.
Slide opener
Use the slide opener for lifting off the
light cover.

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.
