							Miele branded cleaning and
conditioning products are available
from the Miele Spare Parts Department
or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Appliance front
Remove any soiling immediately.
If this is not done, it might become
impossible to remove and could
cause the surface to alter or
discolour.
Clean the front using a damp Miele
microfibre E-cloth or with a clean
sponge and a solution of hot water and
washing-up liquid. Wipe dry using a
soft cloth.
All external surfaces are susceptible
to scratching. Scratches on glass
surfaces could even cause a
breakage in certain circumstances.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
external surfaces.
To prevent damage to your appliance
when cleaning do not use:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
–cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays,
–
glass cleaning agents,
–
hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
–
dirt erasers,
–
sharp metal scrapers.

							Accessories
Remove all accessories as well as
the runners and accessories such
as FlexiClip runners from the oven
interior before starting the pyrolytic
cleaning process. The high
temperatures needed for pyrolysis
will damage the accessories, and
the damage to the FlexiClip runners
could be irreparable.
Universal tray
The surface has been treated with
PerfectClean enamel.
Please refer to the section on
PerfectClean for information on
cleaning and care.
Rack, runners
The surface has been treated with
PerfectClean enamel.
Treat in the same way as other surfaces
coated with PerfectClean. See
PerfectClean.
Food probe
The food probe is dishwasher-safe.
Rotisserie
Wash in hot water with a little
washing-up liquid.
If necessary a non-abrasive proprietary
stainless steel cleaner may be used for
stubborn soiling.FlexiClip telescopic runnersDo not clean FlexiClip telescopic
runners in a dishwasher. This would
remove the special lubricant.
When cleaning the runners, do not
use:
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
–stainless steel cleaning agents,
–hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
When cleaning the runners be very
careful not to wash out the special
lubricant in them.
Avoid frequent:
– soaking in hot soapy water,
– use of oven spray,
– cleaning of the bearings.
FlexiClip telescopic runners are best
cleaned after each use.
This prevents soiling drying on or being
burnt on when the oven is used again.
If the runners are used frequently
without being cleaned, it may become
very difficult or even impossible to
clean them.
Cleaning and care
57 
						

							Normal soiling
Clean the surfaces of the runners using
a damp Miele microfibre E-Cloth or with
a clean sponge and a solution of hot
water and washing-up liquid. Wipe dry
using a soft cloth.
Remove any cleaning agent residues
thoroughly.
Heavy soiling
If necessary, the scouring pad on the
reverse of a washing-up sponge can be
used to clean the runners. Cleaning
may be easier if the soiling is first
dampened with a solution of hot water
and washing-up liquid for a few
minutes.
For very heavy soiling the telescopic
runners can be soaked in a solution of
hot water and washing-up liquid for a
maximum of 10 minutes.
The runners may appear discoloured
or a lighter colour in places after they
have been cleaned. This will not
affect the functioning of the runners in
any way.Note:
When baking cakes with moist toppings
or fillings e.g. fruit crumble, be careful
not to let them spill over. Should this
happen there is a danger of sticky fruit
juices adhering to the runners and
hindering or even preventing their
movement in and out of the oven.
Clean the runners as described above
and very carefully use a soft nylon
brush to clean the bearings inside the
runners.
Lubricating the FlexiClip telescopic
runners
If the lubrication on the telescopic
runners dries out, they can be
relubricated to ensure they continue to
run smoothly.
A special lubricant is available from
Miele.Only use this special lubricant, as it
is designed to withstand high
temperatures in the oven.
Other lubricants can harden and
stick to the telescopic runners when
they are heated.

							PerfectClean
Thesurfaceof the universal tray and
the anti-splash insert has been treated
with a special type of enamelling called
PerfectClean.
This surface has very good anti-stick
properties and is much easier to keep
clean than conventional oven enamel, if
cleaned regularly.
Food can be taken off it 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.
Allow the oven and any accessories
to cool down before cleaning.
Danger of burning.Normal soiling
Clean as soon as possible after each
use with a dishcloth, soft sponge or a
soft nylon brush, and a solution of hot
water and a little washing-up liquid. The
longer soiling is left, the harder it may
become to remove.
Stubborn soiling
Stubborn soiling, e.g. from roasting,
may need to be soaked first with a
damp sponge to loosen it and if
necessary a non-abrasive stainless
steel spiral pad or a scraper suitable for
glass can be used to remove it.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water. The water must run off
the surface easily. Any residual
cleaning agents will hinder this
effect.
Using oven sprays on very stubborn
soiling
Some oven cleaners contain strong
alkalines and/or abrasive materials.
Because PerfectClean enamel is
designed to be easily cleaned, the use
of these cleaners is not recommended.
However, if you still cannot get the
surface clean, an oven cleaner can be
used, but for a couple of minutes only.
Cleaning and care
59 
						

							Allow the PerfectClean surfaces to cool
down to room temperature before
applying an oven spray.
Apply a spray oven cleaner to the
soiled areas. Leave to take effect fora
couple of minutes only!
If necessary use a soft sponge, soft
nylon brush or a scraper suitable for
glass surfaces to loosen the soiling.
Repeat the process if necessary.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with
clean water and then dry thoroughly.
For optimum performance of
PerfectClean enamel 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.The following cause lasting damage
to the surface structure and reduce
the anti-stick effect and 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 in a hot
oven or left on for too long,
– PerfectClean enamelled items must
not be washed in a dishwasher.
– spot cleaning by rubbing the
surface.
Note:
–
Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures are best removed whilst the
oven or tray is still warm. Excercise
caution and make sure the oven is
not too hot - danger of burning.
–
Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting
discolouration to the surfaces. and
roasting can cause matt areas to
appear. Clean these following the
instructions given above and do not
use force to remove them. This
discolouration is permanent but will
not affect the efficiency of the
enamel.
