Correcting minor faults
. . . The browning effect is uneven
There will always be a slight uneven-
ness. Product information sheets give a
percentage result for standard brown-
ing tests. These refer to results for one
tray.
If the item being baked is browning
very unevenly, check:
– when baking with Fan Heat D:
whether the temperature was set too
high,
whether the roasting filter was in
place.
– when baking with the Conventional
setting A
the colour and composition of the
baking tins being used. Light col-
oured, shiny, or thin walled tins are
less suitable.
. . . spots like rust appear on the inte-
rior catalytic walls?
When roasting on the rack, the circulat-
ing air sometimes picks up spices,
which are then deposited on the oven
interior walls. Such residues are not
removed by catalytic cleaning, they are
best removed while fresh with a mild
washing up liquid and a soft brush.
. . . The display light does not come
on when a hob control is switched on
The lamp needs changing.
You can obtain a new lamp from the
Miele Spare parts dept, and follow the
instructions supplied to fit it yourself.
. . . “F” and a number appear in the
oven display field.
This combination indicates a fault
When “F3” appears the core tem-
perature (roast) probe has a fault.
Remove the probe from its socket
and the message will disappear.
When “F6” appears the oven has
automatically switched itself off dur-
ing use. This is a safety feature to
protect the oven if it has been opera-
ting for an exceedingly long period.
The timing is different depending on
the oven setting selected.
The oven can be used again immedi-
ately by simply turning the oven func-
tion selector to “0” and then entering
the process again.
