Miele H 212 Instruction Manual

							Remove any soiling immediately
after use.
If not, it might become impossible to
remove.
Continued use without regular
cleaning will make the oven much
harder to clean.
The accessories are not
dishwasher-proof.
Useful tips
– Soiling caused by spilt juices and
cake mixtures is best removed whilst
the oven is still warm. Exercise
caution and make sure the oven is
not too hot - danger of burning.
– To make cleaning easier, you can
dismantle the oven door, remove the
shelf runners and the FlexiClip
telescopic runners (if present), and
lower the top heat/grill element.
Normal soiling
See Cleaning the catalytic back
panel for instructions on how to keep
the back panel clean.
It is best to remove normal soiling im
-
mediately using a clean sponge and
a solution of hot water and
washing-up liquid or with a clean,
damp microfibre cloth.
After cleaning, make sure all residual
cleaning agents are thoroughly
removed with clean water. This is
particularly important when cleaning
surfaces treated with PerfectClean
enamel as cleaning agent residues
can impair the non-stick properties.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Cleaning the seal
There is a seal around the oven interior
which seals the oven interior and the
inside of the door.
Grease deposits on the seal can
cause it to become brittle and
cracked.

It is advisable to wipe the seal clean
after each use.

							Stubborn soiling (does not
apply to the FlexiClip
telescopic runners)
Spilt fruit and roasting juices may
cause lasting discolouration or matt
patches on enamelled surfaces.
This discolouration is permanent but
will not affect the efficiency of the
finish. Do not use force to remove
this discolouration! Clean these
following the instructions given here.
Baked on deposits can be removed
with a glass scraper or a
non-abrasive stainless steel spiral
pad.
Remove catalytic panels before
using oven spray. The chemicals
used in oven sprays will damage
catalytic enamel, rendering it
ineffective.Very stubborn soiling on
PerfectClean treated enamel can be
cleaned using the Original Miele
oven cleaner. It must be applied to
cold surfaces in accordance with
instructions on the packaging.
Non-Miele oven spray must only be
used in a cold oven and for no 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 cleaning, remove all oven
cleaning agent residues thoroughly
with clean water, and dry with a soft
cloth.

							Stubborn soiling on the
FlexiClip telescopic runners
Do not clean FlexiClip telescopic
runners in a dishwasher. The special
lubricant used in the telescopic
runners will wash out during
dishwashing.
In the case of stubborn soiling on the
surfaces of the telescopic runners, or
clogged bearings caused by fruit juices
spilling over, proceed as follows:
Soak the FlexiClip runners for approx.
10 minutes in a solution of hot water
and washing-up liquid. If necessary,
use the back of a washing-up
sponge to remove the soiling. The
bearings can be carefully cleaned
with a soft brush.
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.
Cleaning the catalytic
enamelled back panel
Soiling from oil and fat is burnt off
catalytic enamel when very high
temperatures are used in the oven.
The higher the temperature, the more
effective the process.
Exposure to scouring agents,
abrasive brushes or sponges and
oven sprays can cause catalytic
enamel to lose its self-cleaning
properties.
Catalytic enamelled panels should
therefore be taken out of the oven
before using oven spray in it.
Removing soiling caused by spices,
sugar and similar deposits
Remove the back panel (see
Cleaning and care - Removing the
back panel).
Clean the back panel by hand with a
solution of hot water and washing-up
liquid applied with a soft brush.

Rinse it thoroughly and then leave it
to dry before fitting it back in the
oven.

							Removing oil and grease soiling from
the catalytic enamelled panel
Remove any accessories from the
oven, including the shelf runners.
Wipe large deposits of soiling from
the oven interior and the inside of the
door before starting the cleaning
process to avoid them baking on.
Select the Fan Plusfunction and
a temperature of 250 °C.
Then heat the empty oven for at least
an hour.
The length of time required will depend
on the level of soiling.
If the catalytic coating is very heavily
soiled with oil and grease, a film can
form on the surfaces of the oven
interior during the cleaning process.
Danger of burning! Allow the
oven to cool down before cleaning
by hand.
Clean the inside of the door and the
oven interior with a clean sponge and
a solution of hot water and
washing-up liquid or a clean, damp
microfibre cloth.
Any remaining soiling on the panel
will gradually disappear with each
subsequent use of the oven at high
temperatures.

							Removing the door
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.
Open the door fully.

Release the locking clamps by
turning them as far as they will go.
Do not attempt to take the door off
the retainers when it is in the
horizontal position as the retainers
will spring back against the oven.
Do not use the handle to pull the
door off the retainers as the handle
could break.
Raise the door up till it rests open.

Hold the door securely at both sides,
and lift it upwards off the retainers.
Make sure you take it off straight.

							Dismantling the door
The oven door is an open system with
three glass panes which have a
heat-reflective coating on some of their
surface.
During operation, cool air is passed
through the oven door to keep the outer
pane cool.
If soiling has worked its way in between
the glass panes, the door can be
dismantled in order to clean in between
the panes.
Take particular care as scratches
can damage the glass.
When cleaning the glass panes, do
not use abrasive cleaning agents,
hard sponges or brushes and do not
use sharp metal tools or scrapers.
Please also read the general notes
on cleaning the oven front before
cleaning the glass panes.
Oven spray will damage the
aluminium trims inside the door.
These should only be cleaned using
hot water and washing-up liquid
applied with a clean sponge or a
clean, damp microfibre cloth.
Be especially vigilant after
dismantling the door that the glass
panes do not break.
Danger of injury.
Always remove the door before
dismantling it.
Place the door on a protective
surface (e.g. on a tea towel) 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 two glass pane retainers
outwards to open them.

							To remove the inner panes:
Gentlylift the inner pane up and out
of the plastic strip.

Lift the middle pane upgentlyand
pull it out.

Clean the door panes and other
individual parts with a clean sponge
and a solution of hot water and
washing-up liquid or a clean, damp
microfibre cloth.

Dry all parts with a soft cloth.Then reassemble the door carefully:
Refit the middle pane in such a way
that the material number is legible
(i.e. not reversed).

Push the inner pane with the matt
printed side facing downwards into
the plastic strip and place it between
the retainers.

							Flip the two glass pane retainers
inwards to close them.
The door is now reassembled and is
ready to fit back on the oven.

							Fitting the door
Hold the door securely on both sides
and carefully fit it back into the hinge
retainers.
Make sure that the door goes back
on straight.Open the door fully.
It is essential that the locking
clamps lock securely when the door
is refitted after cleaning. Otherwise
the door could work loose from the
retainers and be damaged.
Flip both locking clamps back up as
far as they will go into a horizontal
position.

							Removing the shelf runners
with FlexiClip telescopic
runners
Danger of injury!
Do not use the oven without the
shelf runners.
You can remove the shelf runners
together with the FlexiClip telescopic
runners (if present).
If you wish to remove the FlexiClip
telescopic runners separately
beforehand, please follow the
instructions in Features – Fitting and
removing the FlexiClip telescopic
runners.
Danger of burning!
Make sure the oven heating
elements are switched off and the
oven interior is cool.Pull the runners out of the holder (1)
at the front of the oven and then pull
them out of the oven (2).
Refitin the reverse order.
Ensure that all parts are correctly
fitted.
