The maximum duration that can be set for a cooking program is 12 hours.

It It is recommended to use the automatic On/Off feature when roasting. Do not delay the start of the program for too long when baking. Cake mixtures and doughs will dry out, and the leavening agents will lose their effectiveness

Roast

Always observe the USDA guidelines for food safety.

Oven modes

Depending on how you would like the food prepared, you can use Convection Bake or Surround .

Cookware

Any heat-resistant cookware can be used:

Wire oven rack, grilling and roasting insert (if available) on the universal tray, roasting pans, heat-resistant glass/ earthen/cast iron dishes, roasting bags

Temperature

As a general rule, select a lower temperature.

If higher temperatures are used, the meat will brown on the outside, but will not be properly cooked through.

When cooking with Convection Bake , select a temperature 25°F (20°C) lower than when using Surround .

Shelf levels

In most cases level 3 should be used. With large items, such as a turkey, use level 1 or 2.

Tips

– Resting time: At the end of the program, take the roast out of the oven, cover with aluminum foil and let stand for about 10 minutes. This helps retain the juices when the meat is sliced.

– The larger the cut of meat, the lower the temperature setting should be.

– Use a roast probe for accurate cooking temperatures and best results.

Broil

Oven modes

Maxi Broil

For broiling thin cuts of meat and browning.

The entire Browning / Broiling element will get hot and glow red.

Convection Broil

For broiling thicker items, e.g. poultry or London broil.

The Browning/Broiling element and the fan switch on in alternating phases.

Cookware

Use the universal tray with the grilling and roasting insert (if available), and place the tray in the oven. The insert prevents any collected meat juices from burning, allowing them to be used for gravy and sauces.

Temperature

As a general rule, select the default temperature.

If higher temperatures are used, the meat will brown on the outside, but will not be properly cooked through.

Preheating

Always preheat the oven for about 5 minutes with the door closed before Broiling.

Cleaning and care

Unsuitable cleaning agents

To avoid damaging surfaces when cleaning, do not use:

  • Cleaners containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides
  • Lime removers on the front of the ovens
  • Abrasive cleaning agents, such as scouring powder, scouring cream, pumice stones
  • Solvent-based cleaners
  • Stainless steel cleaners
  • Dishwasher cleaners
  • Glass cleaners
  • Ceramic cooktop cleaners
  • Hard, abrasive sponges and brushes, such as pot scrubbers or used sponges that still contain traces of abrasive cleaner
  • Eraser sponges
  • Sharp metal scrapers
  • Steel wool
  • Spot cleaners
  • Oven cleaners
  • Stainless steel scouring pads

Tips

– Soiling caused by spilt juices and cake mixtures is best removed while the oven is still warm. Use caution and make sure the oven is not too hot - Danger of burns.

– To make cleaning easier you can dismantle the oven door, remove the side runners and lower the Browning/ Broiling element.

Normal soiling

  • Remove normal soiling immediately using a clean sponge with warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a clean, damp microfiber cloth.
  • After cleaning, ensure that any detergent residue is removed with clean water.

This is particularly important when cleaning surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel as detergent residue can impair the non-stick properties.

  • Soiling on shelf runners and wire oven rack can also be removed using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
  • After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a soft cloth.

Stubborn soiling

Spilled fruit and roasting juices may cause lasting discoloration or matte patches on enameled surfaces. This does not affect the functional characteristics of the finish. Do not attempt to remove these marks. Clean them following the instructions given here.

  • Baked on deposits can be removed with a glass scraper or with a nonabrasive steel wool pad (e.g. Spontex Spirinett), warm water and liquid dish soap.
  • Very stubborn soiling on PerfectClean surfaces can be cleaned using Miele Oven Cleaner. This cleaner must only be applied to cold surfaces. Follow the instructions on the packaging.

Non-Miele oven cleaner must only be used in a cold oven and not left on for longer than a maximum of 10 minutes.

  • If necessary, the scouring pad on the back of a non-scratching washing-up sponge can be used to remove the soiling after the holding time.
  • After cleaning, remove all oven cleaning agent residues thoroughly with clean water, and then dry the surfaces.

Cleaning the oven interior with Self Clean

Instead of cleaning the oven by hand, you can use the Self Clean program.

Any grime that has accumulated will be broken down and burnt to ash as a result of the high temperatures.

This oven has three Self Clean levels, each with a different duration:

– Level 1 for light soiling

– Level 2 for heavier soiling

– Level 3 for very heavy soiling

Once the Self Clean program has started, the door will lock automatically. It cannot be opened again until the program has ended.

You can also set a delayed start time for the Self Clean program, in order to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates, for example.

At the end of the Self Clean program, any remaining residues (e.g., ash) can be easily wiped away

Preparing for the Self Clean program

  • Remove all accessories that are not suitable for the Self Clean program from the oven.
  • Remove the shelf runners for cleaning (see "Cleaning and care – Removing the shelf runners").

Heavy soiling in the oven can cause thick smoke to develop and can result in the Self Clean program being switched off.

Burnt-on residues can cause lasting discoloration or dull spots on enameled surfaces.

  • Before starting the Self Clean program, remove coarse soiling from the oven and scrape any burnt-on residues off enameled surfaces with a glass scraper.

  • Raise the door up till it rests partially open.
  • Hold the door on either side and pull it diagonally upwards from the hinge guides. Make sure that you lift the door off straight.

Reinstalling the door

  • Hold both sides of the door securely and carefully fit it onto the brackets of the hinges.

Make sure that the door goes on straight.
