Miele H 5461 B Manual

							Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven
interior
A message will appear in the display
after a certain length of time to remind
you to run a pyrolytic cleaning
programme. You can deactivate this, if
wished (see Settings - Pyrolytic).
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 the FlexiClip
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.
Depending on soiling levels you can
choose between three cleaning
programmes:
–Level 1 (Duration approx.
2 hours 15 minutes)
–Level 2 (Duration approx.
2 hours 25 minutes)
–Level 3 (Duration approx.
2 hours 35 minutes)
For safety reasons theoven dooris
automatically lockedat the beginning
of the pyrolytic programme.
At the end of the programme it will not
be unlocked until the temperature
inside the oven has dropped to below
280 °C.
If the pyrolitic cleaning programme has
been started by mistake or if the
process is interrupted, the door lock will
be released:
–
immediately if the temperature is
below 280 °C.
–
not until the oven interior temperature
is below 280 °C if the temperature
inside the oven is higher than
280 °C.
You can delay the start of the pyrolytic
process for example, to take advantage
of cheaper night electricity tarifs.

							Starting a pyrolytic process
Take all accessories out of the oven.
Turn the function selector to
Pyrolytic.
Use theorsensor to select
Level 1, 2 or 3.
Start the pyrolytic process required
with the OK sensor.
You can either start the pyrolytic
cleaning process immediately or later.
If you start the process immediately, the
door will lock and the oven will start
heating up.
Select the Start later option todelay
the start of the pyrolytic processfor
example, to take advantage of cheaper
night electricity tarifs.
You can change the time you want the
pyrolytic process to start at, at any
point up until the delay period has
elapsed.
At the end of pyrolytic cleaning
process
–
Prog. finished will appear in the
display.
–
a buzzer will sound, if it is switched
on (see Settings - Volume - Buzzer
tones).

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.
After the pyrolytic process, any
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.
Cleaning and care

							Thepyrolytic process will be
cancelled,
–if the oven is switched off.
–if another function is selected during
the pyrolytic process.
–in the event of a power cut.
In the two instances above, switch the
oven off.
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.

							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.
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 thick table cloth or 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 just overhang
along the edge of the table so that
the glass lies flat to prevent it from
getting broken during cleaning.
Flip the glass pane retainers
outwards to open them.
Cleaning and care
55 
						

							You can now remove the inner and the
two middle panes.
Gentlylift the inner pane up and pull
out of the cover strip.

Remove the seal.Now gently lift up the upper of the
two middle panes and remove it.

Gently lift up the lower of the two
middle panes and remove it.

Clean the glass panes and other
parts with a damp Miele E-cloth or a
clean sponge and a solution of hot
water with a little washing-up liquid.
Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Cleaning and care
56 
						

							To reassemble the door:
The two middle panes are identical.
The seven-digit material number is
printed on the panes to help you
reassemble them correctly.
Place the lower of the two middle
panes in so that the material number
is legible (i.e. so that it is not
reversed).
Flip the glass pane retainers inwards
so that they rest on the lower middle
pane.

Place the upper of the two middle
panes in so that the material number
is legible (i.e. so that it is not
reversed).
The pane must rest on the retainers.Replace the seal.
Push the inner pane into the plastic
strip and place it in between the
retainers.
Cleaning and care
57 
						

							Flip the glass pane retainers inwards
to close them.
To refit the door
Hold the door securely at both sides
and carefully fit it back onto the hinge
guides.
Make sure that the door goes back
on straight.
Cleaning and care
58 
						

							Open the door fully.
Flip both locking clamps back up as
far as they will go into a horizontal
position.
It is essential that the locking clamps
are flipped down when the door is
refitted after cleaning. Otherwise the
hinges could work loose, resulting in
damage to the door.
To remove the runners
Make sure the oven heating
elements are switched off and cool.
Danger of burning.
Pull the runners forwards out of the
holder and remove.
Reassemble in the reverse order,
carefully ensuring all parts are correctly
in place.
Cleaning and care

							To lower the top heat/grill
element
Make sure the oven heating
elements are switched off and cool.
Danger of burning.
Remove the runners.
Unscrew the wing nut and lower the
top heating element.
Do not use force to pull it down as
this can cause the element to break.
Reassemble in the reverse order,
carefully ensuring all parts are correctly
in place.
Make sure that the wing nut is
securely tightened again.
