							Accessories
Remove all accessories as well as
the runners and any extra
accessories such as FlexiClip
telescopic runners from the oven
interior before starting the pyrolytic
cleaning process. The high
temperatures needed for pyrolysis
will damage the accessories.

							PerfectClean
The following have been treated with a
special finish called PerfectClean:
–baking tray
–universal tray
–anti-splash insert (if applicable)
PerfectClean surfaces have very good
anti-stick propertiesand aremuch
easier to keep cleanthan conventional
oven enamel, if cleaned regularly.
Food can be lifted off more easily, and
soiling from baking and roasting is
easier to remove.
The following notes on cleaning and
care should ensure that the anti-stick
and easy clean properties of
PerfectClean last for many years.
PerfectClean surfaces can be treated
as you would treat glass.
Food can be sliced or cut up on the
PerfectClean surface in the same way
as on a baking tray with conventional
enamel.
Do not use ceramic knives on
PerfectClean treated surfaces, as
these can cause scratches.
Allow the oven and any
accessories to cool down before
cleaning by hand. Danger of
burning.
For the optimum performance of
PerfectClean, it is important to clean the
oven and accessories after each use.
The surfaces will become harder to
clean and the anti-stick properties will
deteriorate if soiling is not removed
after each use and allowed to build up.
In extreme cases cleaning may
become impossible.
To avoid damaging the surface
structure, the following must not be
used on PerfectClean surfaces:
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
– cleaning agents for ceramic hobs,
–
wire wool or metal scourers,
–
abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents,
–
oven spray must not be used on
PerfectClean surfaces which are hot
or left on for too long,
–
PerfectClean enamelled items must
not be washed in a dishwasher,
–
spot cleaning.
Cleaning and care
53 
						

							After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water to remove any residual
cleaning agents as these can
diminish the anti-stick properties.
Normal soilingshould be cleaned as
soon as possible after each use with a
soft sponge and a solution of hot water
and a little washing up liquid. The
longer soiling is left, the harder it may
become to remove.
If necessary, the souring pad on the
back of a non-scratch washing-up
sponge or a soft nylon brush can be
used.
You may find it easier to clean the oven
trays if you soak any deposits in a
solution of hot water with a little
washing-up liquid for a few minutes.
Stubborn soilingcan be more difficult
to clean and may require an oven
cleaning spray.
Allow the PerfectClean surfaces to cool
down to room temperature before
applying the spray. Apply a proprietary
oven cleaning spray and leave to take
effect for up to ten minutes only.
Miele oven cleaning spray can be left
on for longer. Always follow the
instructions on the packaging.
If necessary, the pad on the back of a
non-scratch washing-up sponge can
also be used.
Repeat the process, if necessary.
After using oven spray, rinse thoroughly
with clean water and then dry
thoroughly.Forextremely stubborn soilinga
glass scraper or a non-abrasive
stainless steel pad can be used.
The steps described above should
enable you to clean the surfaces
thoroughly.
Should the PerfectClean surface be
damaged by any of the above
measures not being heeded, it will still
retain the anti-stick qualities of standard
enamel and be as easy to keep clean
as standard enamel.
Please note:
– Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures are best removed whilst the
oven or tray is still warm. Exercise
caution and make sure the oven is
not too hot - danger of burning.
– Soiling such as spilt juices and
roasting deposits may cause lasting
discolouration or matt areas to
appear. Discolouration or matt areas
will not affect the efficiency of the
surface. Follow the cleaning
instructions given above and do not
use force to remove them.

							Oven interior
The oven interior is coated with dark
pyrolytic enamelwhich facilitates
cleaning.
This is a particularly hard enamel with
an extremely smooth surface and very
good anti-stick properties.
Manual cleaning of the oven interior
Allow the oven to cool down before
cleaning by hand.
Danger of burning!
The oven interior and the inside of
the door should be cleaned after
each use. If this is not done
subsequent soiling from baking and
roasting will become worse and
make cleaning harder. In extreme
cases, heavy soiling could even
damage the surface.
There is a fibre-glass door seal
around the oven cavity.
This seal is particularly sensitive and
should not be cleaned unless
absolutely necessary. Rubbing it
can damage it.Most cooking residues can be removed
with a damp cloth and a mild solution of
hot water and washing-up liquid.
Never use hard brushes, hard
sponges, wire wool pads*, knives or
any other abrasive materials or
cleaning agents. They can damage
the enamel.
If using an oven spray, the
manufacturer's instructions must be
followed.
* Non-abrasive spiral pads can,
however, be used.
To make cleaning easier
– remove the oven door,
– dismantle the door,
– take out the runners,
– lower the top heating/grill element.
Instructions for doing so are given
further on in this section.

							Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven
interior
Before starting a pyrolytic cleaning
process please note the following:
Remove any coarse soiling from the
oven before you start.
Clean the inside of the door (glass).
There is a fibre-glass door seal
around the oven cavity.
This seal is particularly sensitive and
should not be cleaned unless
absolutely necessary. Rubbing can
damage it.
Remove all accessories as well as
the runners and any extra
accessories such as Flexi-Clip
runners from the oven interior before
starting the pyrolytic cleaning
process. The high temperatures
needed for pyrolysis will damage the
accessories.
The oven door gets much hotter
during pyrolytic operation than
during normal use.
Make sure children cannot touch the
oven whilst a pyrolytic programme is
running. Danger of burning.During the pyrolytic process the oven is
heated to over 400 °C. Any residual
soiling is broken down and reduced to
ash by the high temperatures.
For safety reasons the oven door is
automatically locked at the beginning of
the pyrolytic programme.
Depending on soiling levels you can
choose between three cleaning
programmes:
–PY I(duration of approx. 2 hours)
–PY 2(duration of approx.
2 hours 15 mins)
–PY 3(duration of approx.
2 hours 30 mins)
The door cannot be opened until this
duration has been completed.
You can delay the start of the pyrolytic
process for example, to take advantage
of cheaper night electricity tarifs.

The duration of the cleaning
programme can be seen in the display
by calling up the(Duration) symbol.You canset a finish time for the
pyrolytic processduring the first five
minutes after starting the programme,
for example, to take advantage of
cheaper night electricity tarifs. To do
this:
Call up the(Finish) symbol and
use thesensor to change the end
time.
You can change the end time if you
wish at any time up until the
programme starts.
At the end of pyrolytic cleaning
process
–"PYE" will appear in the display.
– the(Finish) symbol will start
flashing.
– a buzzer will sound, if it is switched
on (see "Settings –P2").
Turn the function selector to "0".
The buzzer will stop and the symbols in
the display will go out.
If the function selector is not moved, the
buzzer (if switched on) will sound every
five minutes as a reminder that the
programme has finished.
Thisremindercontinues for up to
30 minutes.

Cleaning and care 
						

							After the pyrolytic processany debris
(e.g, ash), can easily be wiped away.
Remember to wait until the oven has
cooled down before doing so!
Danger of burning.
Try not to wipe over the fibre-glass
seal when cleaning the oven cavity.
It is particularly sensitive and should
not be cleaned unless absolutely
necessary. Rubbing it can damage
it.
Most residues are easily wiped away
with a damp cloth.
Depending on soiling levels in the oven
there may be visible deposits on the
door and below the trim under the oven
cavity. This is best removed using a
non-abrasive sponge or non-abrasive
stainless steel spiral pad and a mild
solution of warm water and washing-up
liquid.
Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting
discolouration to the surfaces. This
discolouration is permanent but will
not affect the efficiency of the
enamel. Do not attempt to remove
these marks.Thepyrolytic process will be
cancelled,
–if the function selector is turned to
"0".
–if another function is selected during
the pyrolytic process.
"PY" andwill appear in the display.
–in the event of a power cut.
"PY" andwill appear in the display.
In both instances turn the function
selector to "0".
If the oven interior temperature is below
280 °C, the door lock will be released
after a short while. It can then be
opened.
Start the pyrolytic cleaning process
again if necessary.

							To remove the oven door
The oven door is connected to the oven
by hinges.
Before removing the door, the locking
clamps on both hinges have to be
released.
Open the door fully.

To release the locking clamps on the
hinges turn them upwards as far as
they will go until they are at an angle.
See illustration.Then lift the door upwards as far as it
will go.
Do not attempt to take the door off
the hinge guides when it is in a
horizontal position. The guides will
close, and damage the appliance.
Danger of injury.

Hold the door securely at both sides
and lift upwards off the hinge guides.
Do not lift the door off by the handle.
The handle could break and
damage the door.
Make sure that you lift the door off
equally on both sides.
Cleaning and care
59 
						

							To dismantle the oven door
The oven door is made up of four
panes of glass and has vents at the top
and bottom.
When the oven is operating, air is
circulated through the door to keep the
outer pane cool.
If condensate has worked its way in
between the glass panes, the door can
be dismantled in order to clean in
between the panes.
When cleaning the glass panes
please follow the same instructions
given for cleaning the appliance
front.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, sponges or brushes, as
these can scratch the surface.
These could damage the surface.
Scratches can also cause the glass
to break.
Do not use an oven spray. This will
damage the surface of the
aluminium surrounds.
Ensure that the glass panes are
inserted the correct way round after
cleaning, as each side of the pane
has a different coating. Those facing
the oven interior reflect the heat.
To avoid the risk of breakage, it is
advisable to place the panes on a
table protected by a soft cloth (e.g.
a towel).
Always remove the oven door before
dismantling it.
Place the door on a protective
surface (e.g. on a table cloth) to
prevent it getting scratched. The
door handle should line up with the
edge of the table. Make sure the
glass lies flat and does not get
broken during cleaning.
Flip the glass pane retainers
outwards to open them.
You can now remove the inner and the
two middle panes.
