Turning a cooking program On / Off automatically
You can set a cooking program to turn on or off automatically. First the mode and cooking temperature must be selected.
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

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.
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.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging surfaces when cleaning, do not use:
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
This is particularly important when cleaning surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel as detergent residue can impair the non-stick properties.
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.
Non-Miele oven cleaner must only be used in a cold oven and not left on for longer than a maximum of 10 minutes.
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
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.
Door removal
The door weighs approx. 42 lbs (19 kg.
The oven door is connected to the hinges by retainers.
Before removing the door from the retainers, the locking clamps on both hinges have to be released.
Reinstalling the door
Make sure that the door goes on straight.
Removing the shelf runners
