Features Side runners Side runners for trays, racks and accessory dishes are fitted on either side of the oven cavity for shelf levels ³. The accessories have non-tip safety notches half way along the short edges which prevent them from being pulled right out when they only need to be pulled partially out. The numbers for the shelf levels are marked on the front frame. Each level consists of two rails, one above the other. – The accessories (e.g.
Features FlexiClip telescopic runners Fitting and removing FlexiClip telescopic runners ,Danger of burning. Make sure the oven heating elements are switched off and cool. The FlexiClip telescopic runners can be used with any shelf level. Push the FlexiClip telescopic runners right into the oven before placing accessories on them. The accessories will then automatically sit securely in between the stoppers at either end of each runner and be prevented from sliding off.
Features Anti-splash insert ^ Then secure the FlexiClip runner to the bottom of the two rails as illustrated (3). If the FlexiClip runners are difficult to pull out after fitting, you may need to pull firmly on them once to release them. The anti-splash insert fits in the universal tray. The juices from the food being grilled or roasted collect under the insert. This prevents them from spitting and making the oven dirty. The juices can then be used for making gravy and sauces.
Features Baking stone HBS 60 The baking stone is ideal for items which need a well baked base such as pizza, quiche, bread, bread rolls and savoury snacks. The baking stone is made from heat retaining fire brick and is glazed. Place it directly on the rack. A paddle made of untreated wood is supplied with it for placing food on the baking stone and taking it off. HUB oven dish and HBD oven dish lid The Miele oven dish has a non-stick coating.
Features Oven controls PerfectClean treated surfaces The oven controls are used for selecting the various cooking programmes for baking, roasting and grilling. PerfectClean surfaces have very good non-stick properties and are much easier to keep clean than conventional enamel surfaces, if cleaned regularly. Safety features Food can be taken off it easily, and soiling from baking and roasting is simple to remove.
Using for the first time Before using for the first time ,The oven must not be operated until it has been correctly installed in its housing unit. ^ Press and release the function and temperature selectors if they are retracted. Heating up the oven for the first time New ovens can give off an unpleasant smell on first use. Heating up the oven for at least 1 hour with nothing in it will get rid of this smell. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated during this operation.
Overview of functions Your oven has a range of oven functions for preparing food. Depending on the function selected, different heating elements are switched on and sometimes combined with the fan (see details in brackets). Conventional heat V (Top heat/grill element + bottom heat element) For baking and roasting traditional recipes, preparing soufflés and cooking at low temperatures. If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven temperature for Conventional heat 10 °C lower than that recommended.
Operation Tips on saving energy Using the oven ^ Remove any accessories from the oven that you do not require for cooking. ^ Place the food in the oven. ^ Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart. ^ Avoid opening the door during cooking. ^ In general, if a range of temperatures is given, it is best to select the lower temperature and to check the food after the shortest given time.
Operation Pre-heating It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven in a few instances. Most dishes can be placed in a cold oven. They will then make use of the heat produced during the heating-up phase. Pre-heat the oven when cooking the following food with the following oven functions: Fan plus U – dark bread dough, – beef sirloin joints and fillet. Rapid heat-up Do not use Rapid heat-up S. to pre-heat the oven when baking pizzas or biscuits and small cakes. They will brown too quickly on top.
Baking Eating food which has been cooked correctly is important for good health. Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc. until they are golden. Do not overcook them. Functions Depending on how the food is prepared, you can use Fan plus U or Conventional heat V. Bakeware The choice of bakeware depends on the oven function and preparation. – Fan plus U: Baking tray, universal tray, bakeware of any ovenproof material.
Baking Notes on the baking chart Shelf levels ³ Temperature 6 The shelf level on which you place your food for baking depends on the oven function and number of trays being used. As a general rule, select the lower temperature given in the chart. Baking at temperatures higher than those recommended may reduce the cooking time, but will lead to uneven browning, and unsatisfactory cooking results. Baking duration + Check if the food is cooked at the end of the shortest time quoted.

Roasting Functions: Notes on the roasting chart Depending on how the food is prepared, you can use Fan Plus U or Conventional Heat V. Temperature 6 Crockery You can use any heat-resistant crockery: Miele Gourmet oven dishes, roasting pans, ovenproof glass trays, roasting bags, dishes made from earthenware or cast iron, the universal tray, rack and/or anti-splash insert (if available) on top of the universal tray.
Roasting Roasting duration + The traditional British method for calculating the roasting time is to allow 15 to 20 minutes per lb/450 grammes, according to type of meat, plus approx. 20 minutes, adjusting the length of time as roasting proceeds to obtain the required result. The roasting time can also be determined by multiplying the thickness of the roast [cm] with the time per cm [min./cm], depending on the type of meat: Beef/venison: . . . . . . . . . 15–18 min/cm Pork/veal/lamb: . . . . . . . .

Low temperature cooking This method is ideal for cooking beef, pork, veal or lamb when a tender result is required. First sear the meat all over at a high temperature on the hob in order to seal it. Then place the meat in the pre-heated oven where the low temperature and long cooking time will cook it to perfection and ensure it is very tender. The meat relaxes and the juices inside start to circulate evenly throughout the meat to reach the outer layers. This has very tender and succulent results.
Low temperature cooking After cooking Because the cooking and core temperatures are very low: Cooking duration/Core temperatures Meat – Meat can be carved straight from the oven. It does not need to rest. – The cooking result will not be affected if the meat is left in the oven after the programme has finished. It can be kept warm until you serve it. – The meat is an ideal temperature to eat straight away. Serve on pre-heated plates with very hot sauce or gravy to prevent it cooling down too quickly.
Grilling ,Danger of burning. Trays and racks Grill with the oven door closed. If you grill with the door open, hot air will escape from the oven instead of being cooled by the cooling fan. The controls will get hot. Functions Grill Y For grilling larger quantities of thin cuts (e.g. steaks) and browning baked dishes. The whole of the top heating / grill element will get hot and glow red. Fan grill \ For grilling larger items, e.g. chicken.
Grilling Notes on the grilling chart Testing to see if cooked Temperature 6 One way of finding out how well a piece of meat has been cooked is to press down on it with a spoon: As a general rule, select the lower temperature given in the chart. If higher temperatures are used, the meat will brown on the outside, but will not be properly cooked through. For thin cuts of meat a temperature setting of 275 °C is generally recommended, for thicker cuts a maximum of 200–220 °C.
Grilling Preparing food for grilling Grilling Trim the meat. Do not season meat with salt before grilling as this draws the juices out. ^ Place the rack or the anti-splash insert (if available) in the universal tray. Add a little oil to lean meat if necessary. Do not use other types of fat as they can burn and cause smoke. ^ Place the food on top. Clean fish in the normal way. To enhance the flavour, add a little salt or squeeze a little lemon juice over the fish. ^ Pre-heat the grill for approx.
Grilling chart When using the Grill Y function ensure that you: Pre-heat the grill element for approx. 15 minutes with the door closed. Grill Y Food to be grilled Fan grill \ Recommended Temperature Total shelf level in °C grilling time in min.1) Temperature Total in °C grilling time in min.
Defrost Use the Defrost P function to gently defrost frozen food. When this function is selected, only the fan switches on and circulates the air at room temperature. ,Danger of salmonella poisoning. It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from the defrosted poultry. Pour it away, and wash the tray, the sink and your hands.
Drying food Drying is a traditional method of preserving fruit, certain vegetables and herbs. It is important that fruit and vegetables are ripe and not bruised before they are dried. ^ Prepare the food for drying – Peel and core apples, and cut into slices 0.5 cm thick. – Stone plums, if necessary. – Peel, core and cut pears into thick wedges. – Peel and slice bananas. – Clean mushrooms and cut them in half or slice them. – Remove parsley and dill from the stem.
Frozen food/Ready meals Tips Cakes, pizza, baguettes – Large frozen items such as cakes, pizzas or baguettes cover an extensive area of the baking tray or universal tray. The temperature difference if large frozen items are cooked in these trays can cause the tray to distort in such a way that it cannot be removed from the oven when it is hot. Further use will make the distortion worse. Place this type of food on baking parchment on the rack to prevent the risk of this happening.
Cleaning and care ,Danger of burning. Make sure the oven heating elements are switched off and that the oven cavity is cool. ,Danger of injury. Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Unsuitable cleaning agents To avoid damaging the surfaces, do not use: – cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides, – cleaning agents containing descaling agents on the oven front, – abrasive cleaning agents, e.
Cleaning and care Normal soiling Soiling might become impossible to remove if it is not dealt with. Continued use of the oven without regular cleaning will make it much harder to keep clean. Soiling is, therefore, best removed after each use of the oven. The accessories are not dishwasher-proof. Useful tips – Soiling caused by spilt juices and cake mixtures is best removed whilst the oven is still warm. Exercise caution and make sure the oven is not too hot - danger of burning.
Cleaning and care Stubborn soiling (does not apply to the FlexiClip runners) Spilt fruit and roasting juices may cause lasting discolouration or matt patches on enamelled surfaces. This discolouration is permanent but will not affect the efficiency of the finish. Do not try to remove this discolouration! Clean these following the instructions given here. ^ Baked on deposits can be removed with a glass scraper or a non-abrasive stainless steel spiral pad. Oven spray will damage catalytic enamel.
Cleaning and care Stubborn soiling on the FlexiClip runners Never attempt to clean FlexiClip telescopic runners in a dishwasher. This would remove the special grease which is essential for their smooth functioning. For stubborn surface soiling or if the bearings become sticky with spilled fruit juices proceed as follows: ^ Soak the FlexiClip runners for approx. 10 minutes in a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. If necessary use the back of a washing-up sponge to remove the soiling.
Cleaning and care Removing oil and grease splashes ^ Remove any accessories from the oven including the side runners. ^ Before starting the cleaning process, remove any large deposits of soiling from the inside of the door and the PerfectClean surfaces to avoid them burning on. ^ Select the Fan plus U function and a temperature of 250 °C. ^ Then heat the empty oven for at least an hour. The length of time required will depend on the level of soiling.
Cleaning and care Removing the door The oven door is connected to the hinges by retainers. Do not attempt to take the door off the retainers when it is in the horizontal position as the retainers will spring back against the oven. Do not use the handle to pull the door off the retainers as the handle could break. ^ Raise the door up till it rests open. Before removing the door from the retainers, the locking clamps on both hinges have to be released. ^ Open the door fully.
Cleaning and care Dismantling the door The oven door is an open system with two glass panes which have a heat-reflective coating on some of their surface. When the oven is operating, air is directed through the door to keep the outer pane cool. If soiling has worked its way in between the glass panes, the door can be dismantled in order to clean in between the panes. ,Danger of injury. Always remove the door before dismantling it. ^ Place the door on a protective surface (e.g.
Cleaning and care To remove the inner pane: ^ Clean the door panes and other individual parts with a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid or a clean damp microfibre cloth. ^ Dry all parts with a soft cloth. Then reassemble the door carefully: ^ Gently lift the inner pane up and out of the plastic strip. ^ Secure the seal to the middle pane. ^ Gently lift the middle pane and remove it together with the seal. ^ Remove the seal from the pane.
Cleaning and care ^ Refit the middle pane and the seal. ^ Flip the glass pane retainers inwards to close them. The door is now reassembled and is ready to fit back on the oven. ^ Push the inner pane into the plastic strip and place it in between the retainers.
Cleaning and care Refitting the door ^ Open the door fully. It is essential that the locking clamps lock securely when the door is refitted after cleaning. Otherwise the door could could work loose from the retainers and be damaged. ^ Hold the door securely at both sides and carefully fit it back onto the hinge retainers. Make sure it goes on straight. ^ Flip both locking clamps back up as far as they will go into a horizontal position.
Cleaning and care Removing the side runners Remove the side runners for cleaning. ,Danger of injury. Do not use the oven without the side runners. You can remove the side runners together with the FlexiClip runners (if present). If you wish to remove the FlexiClip runners separately beforehand, please follow the instructions in "Features – Fitting and removing the FlexiClip runners". ,Danger of burning. Make sure the oven heating elements are switched off and cool.
