The accessories will then automatically sit securely in between the stoppers at either end of each runner and be prevented from sliding off.
Features Gourmet baking tray, perforated HBBL 71 ^ 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 perforated gourmet oven tray has been specially designed for baking fresh yeast and quark dough items, bread and rolls. The fine perforations help to brown the underside of food. The tray can also be used for drying fruit and vegetables.
Features Round baking tray HBF 27-1 The round baking tray is suitable for cooking pizza, shallow cakes made with yeast or whisked mixtures, sweet and savoury tarts, baked desserts, flat bread, and can also be used for frozen cakes and pizzas. The enamelled surface has been treated with PerfectClean. 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.
Features Handle HEG Miele microfibre cloth Light soiling and fingerprints can be easily removed with the microfibre cloth. The handle makes it easier to take the universal tray, baking tray and rack out of the oven, or to put them into it. The two prongs at the top go inside the tray or above the rack, and the U-shape supports underneath. Miele oven cleaner Miele oven cleaner is suitable for removing very stubborn soiling. It is not necessary to pre-heat the oven beforehand.
Features Oven controls Cooling fan (features will vary depending on model) A cooling fan will come on automatically when a cooking programme is started. 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 oven controls are used to operate the various cooking functions for baking, roasting and grilling.
Features PerfectClean treated surfaces PerfectClean surfaces have very good non-stick properties and are much easier to keep clean than conventional enamel surfaces, if cleaned regularly. Food can be taken off it easily, and soiling from baking and roasting is simple to remove. Food can be sliced or cut up on PerfectClean surfaces. However, do not use ceramic knives as these will scratch the PerfectClean surface. Surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel can be cleaned as you would clean glass.
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.

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 preheated 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. The Y setting is recommended for thin cuts of meat. For thicker cuts of meat, the maximum temperature can be set to 240 °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 Grilling chart The data for the recommended function is printed in bold. Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes with the door closed, unless advised otherwise. Turn the food halfway through the cooking time. Check the food after the shortest time quoted.
Defrost Use the Fan plus U setting without setting the temperature for gently defrosting food. The fan will switch on and circulate air at room temperature around the oven cavity. ,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.

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 dishwasherproof. 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 nonabrasive stainless steel spiral pad.
Cleaning and care Pyrolytic cleaning ^ of the oven interior Instead of cleaning the oven manually you can run the Pyrolytic cleaning programme ^. During the Pyrolytic cleaning programme the oven interior is heated up to over 430 °C. Any residual soiling is broken down and reduced to ash by the high temperatures. This oven has three levels of pyrolytic cleaning, each with a different duration.
Cleaning and care Start the Pyrolytic cleaning programme ,Danger of burning The oven door gets much hotter during pyrolytic operation than during normal use.

Cleaning and care Dismantling the door The oven door is an open system with four glass panes which have a heatreflective 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. Take particular care as scratches can damage the glass.
Cleaning and care ,Danger of injury. Always remove the door before dismantling it. You can now remove the inner pane and the two middle panes one after the other. ^ Place the door on a protective surface (e.g. on a tea towel) to prevent it getting scratched.
