Most minor problems which may occur during daily operation, you can remedy yourself. The following guide is intended to help you do this.
Contact Miele if you cannot identify the cause of a problem or resolve it yourself.
Problem Cause Remedy
The display is dark. There is no power to the oven. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
If it has, contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
The oven does not heat up. – You have only selected an oven function or a temperature.
– The system lock  is switched on.
– There is no power to the oven.
– Select both a function and a temperature.
– Switch off the system lock (see "Settings").
– Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
If it has, contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
 is flashing in the display. There has been a power cut. Reset the time of day (see "Using for the first time").
 appears unexpectedly in
the display andis flashing
at the same time. The buzzer
might be sounding.
The oven has been operating for an unusually long time
and this has activated the safety switch-off function.
Turn the function selector to 0.
The oven is now ready for use again immediately.
  appears in the display. A fault has occurred that you cannot resolve. Call Miele.
A noise can be heard after a
cooking process.
The cooling fan is switched on. It switches off automatically after a certain period.
Rust-like spots appear on cat-
alytic surfaces.
The catalytic cleaning process does not remove spices,
sugar and similar deposits.
Take the catalytic enamelled parts out of the oven and remove this type of soiling
with a mild solution of hot water and washing-up liquid applied with a soft brush.
Allow the parts to dry and then carefully reassemble them.
Cakes and biscuits are not suf-
ficiently baked after follow-
ing the times given in the bak-
ing chart.
– The ingredient quantities used are different from those
given in the recipe.
– A different temperature from the one given in the recipe
is used.
– Check whether there has been a change to the recipe. The addition of more liquid
or more eggs makes a moister mix which would take longer to cook.
– Select the temperature required for the recipe.
Browning is uneven. – The material or colour of the baking tin is not suitable for
the oven function.
– The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected.
– With Conventional Heat  light coloured, shiny tins are less suitable. Use matt,
dark coloured baking tins.
– If the unevenness is pronounced, check whether the correct temperature and shelf
level have been selected.
There will always be a slight unevenness.
The oven lighting does not
switch on.
– The halogen lamp is faulty and needs replacing.
– You have selected Gentle Bake .
– Replace the lamp with a new halogen bulb (see "Operating and installation instruc-
tions").
– The oven lighting does not switch on with this function.
The FlexiClip telescopic run-
ners (if present) do not push in
or pull out smoothly.
The bearings in the FlexiClip telescopic runners are not
sufficiently lubricated.
Lubricate the bearings with the special Miele lubricant.
Only the special Miele lubricant is designed to withstand the high temperatures in
the oven. Other lubricants may harden and stick to the FlexiClip runners when they
are heated.
The special lubricant is available from Miele.

cessories treated with PerfectClean enam-
el are characterised by their exceptional non-
stick properties and ease of cleaning.

– remove the door
– dismantle the door
– remove the FlexiClip telescopic runners (if
present)
– remove the shelf runners
– lower the top heat/grill element.
– remove the catalytic enamelled back panel
Danger of burning!
Make sure the oven heating elements
are switched off. Make sure the oven has
cooled down.

Catalytic enamel inside the oven with grease
depositis will self-clean when high tempera-
tures are used.
ĺAny residual soiling can be removed with
a solution of warm water and washing-up
liquid applied with a soft brush.
ĺLeave all parts to dry.

Recommendation Note

Grilling
Conventional
Heat
50–250°C   –For baking and roasting traditional recipes, cooking soufflés
and cooking at low temperatures. If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven tempera- ture 10°C lower than that recommended. This will not change cooking times.
Bottom Heat 50–250°C – – – Use this function towards the end of cooking to brown the
base of the food.
Grill – – For grilling thin cuts (e.g. steaks)
For browning baked dishes
Defrost – – – – For the gentle defrosting of frozen food
Rapid Heat-up 50–250°C – – – For rapid preheating of the oven
Once the desired temperature has been reached the oven mode must be selected.
Fan Plus 50–250°C   – For baking and roasting dishes on several levels at the same
time Cooking with lower temperatures than with 
Intensive Bake 50–250°C – – For baking dishes with a moist topping Fan Grill 180°C – – For grilling thicker cuts of meat
(e.g. rolled meat, chicken)
Gentle Bake 50–250°C – – Suitable for small amounts, e.g. frozen pizzas, bake-off rolls,
biscuits and for meat dishes and roasts. Energy-efficient thanks to optimal utilisation of heat. When cooking on a single level, up to 30% less energy is used with comparatively good cooking results. The oven lighting does not switch on.
Energy saving tips
ĺRemove any accessories that you are
not using from the oven before starting
the cooking process.
ĺPre-heat the oven only if instructed to
do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.
ĺTry not to open the door during a cook-
ing process. This will prevent heat from
escaping unnecessarily.
ĺIn general, if a range of temperatures is
given in a recipe or chart, it is best to
select the lower temperature and check
the food after the shortest duration.
ĺFan Plus: For baking and roasting
on different levels at the same time. A
lower temperature can be selected than
with Conventional Heat .
ĺFan Grill: Lower temperatures can
be used than when using the Grill 
function.
ĺGentle Bake: Energy-efficient bak-
ing with optimal use of heat (see "Over-
view of functions").
ĺReduce energy consumption by utilising
residual heat:
Cooking programmes using tempera-
tures above 140°C which take longer than
30minutes:
Turn down to the lowest possible temper-
ature about 5minutes before the end of
cooking. The cooling fan remains switched
on. Do not switch the oven off completely.
Whenever possible bake several dishes
at the same time or immediately one after
the other.
A catalytic cleaning programme is best
started immediately after a cooking pro-
gramme.
ĺMonitoring the cooking time: Whenever
possible set a cooking duration, or use
a roast probe.
ĺUse dark coloured baking tins and con-
tainers with a matt finish made from
non-reflective materials. Do not cover
the oven floor or the rack with heat-re-
flecting aluminium foil.
Tips on baking, roasting and
grilling
Baking
Bake on different levels at the same time
using the Fan Plus function:
– 1 tray: Shelf level 2
– 2 trays: Shelf levels 1+2 M) /
Shelf levels1+3/2+4 XL)
– 3 trays: Shelf levels 1+3+5 (not suita-
ble for moist cakes and tarts)
Roasting
Browning:
Browning only occurs towards the end of
the roasting time. Remove the lid about
halfway through the roasting time if a
more intensive browning result is desired.
Standing time:
At the end of the programme, take the
roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminium
foil and leave to stand for about 10min-
utes. This helps retain juices when the
meat is carved.
Roasting poultry:
For a crisp skin, baste the poultry 10min-
utes before the end of the cooking time
with slightly salted water.
Grilling
If the surface of a thicker cut of meat is
browned but the centre is still raw, move
the food to a lower level or reduce the
temperature and continue cooking. This
will stop the surface from becoming too
dark.
