Miele H 5981 Bp Manual

							The approximate finish time can be
estimated, as the duration of a cooking
programme using the food probe
corresponds more or less to the
duration of the same programme
without the food probe.
The Duration and Finish cannot be
entered as the total time depends on
how long it takes for the core
temperature to be reached.
Time left display
After a certain time the estimatedtime
remaining, appears in the oven
display.
The actual core temperature is no
longer displayed and cannot be called
up.
The time remaining is calculated from
the oven temperature selected, the
required core temperature and the
pattern of the increasing core
temperature.
The time remaining first shown is an
estimate. As the cooking process
continues the time remaining is revised
continuously, and a more accurate
revised figure shown.
If, while the time remaining is showing
in the display:
–
the oven or core temperature is
altered,
–
or a different oven function is
chosen,
–
or the door is left open for a
particular length of time
all the time remaining information will
be cancelled and the actual coretemperature will re-appear in the
display. The time left display will
reappear after a while.
If the door is opened during an Auto
-
matic programme the time remaining
will continue to show in the display.
Using the residual heat (Energy save
function)
The heating in the oven switches off
shortly before the end of the cooking
programme. The residual heat in the
oven is sufficient to complete the
cooking process.
Using the residual heat in the oven
saves energy.
Energy save will appear in the display
to show that the oven is in energy save
mode. The time remaining will continue
to be visible in the display.
The cooling fans continue to run, as do
the hot air fans if a fan setting has
been chosen.
When the core temperature selected
has been reached,
–
the oven switches off automatically.
–
the message Programme finished
and the
symbol appear in the
display.
–
a polyphonic tune plays.
If the food is not yet cooked sufficiently,
insert the food probe into another place
and repeat the programme.

							The Moisture plus function uses a
steam injection system.
Water is taken into the steam injection
system via the tube underneath the
control panel on the left. The water is
then injected as bursts of steam into the
oven compartment during the cooking
process.
The steam inlets are located at the rear
left corner of the roof of the oven.
Only use water with this function.
Other liquids will damage the
appliance.
Baking, roasting or cooking with
Moisture plus uses just the right amount
of steam and optimum air flow for very
even cooking and baking results:
delicious fresh bread with a glossy
crust; rolls and croissants as good as
the baker makes; tender, succulent
meat with a well browned finish;
perfectly finished oven bakes; delicious
soufflés and much more.
Please refer to the Moisture plus
booklet supplied with your oven for
further information and a selection of
recipes.
Moisture plus is not suitable for
mixtures which already contain a lot of
moisture, such as choux pastry and
meringues, as the addition of steam
does not allow them to dry out
sufficiently.
Moisture plus is activated with Automat
-
ic programmes or you can select the
special Moisture plus function.
The steam injection system
should be rinsed through before you
use an Automatic programme with
Moisture plus or the Moisture plus
function for the first time.
To do this, run the oven using
Moisture plus - 160 °C - Automatic
burst of steam for about 30 minutes.

							Automatic programmes
Automatic programmes with Moisture
plus set the optimium temperature, the
degree of moisture and also the
duration automatically.
At the beginning of the programme you
will be prompted to allow a specified
amount of water to be drawn into the
oven.
The amount of water specified will be
more than the amount which is actually
needed which means that some of the
water will remain in the container as not
all of it will be drawn up into the oven.
The programme will control how many
bursts of steam are required and at
what point they are injected.Night baking
Some of the Automatic programmes for
bread and rolls have the option of
baking during the night, so that you can
enjoy freshly baked bread for breakfast
the next morning.
The Finish option will appear when
you have selected the programme.
When Finish is selected, a finish time
will appear which is the cooking
duration for the programme plus five or
six hours, depending on programme.
You can change this to the time you
want the bread to be ready at the next
morning.
Follow the instructions which then
appear in the display.

							Moisture plus
When using the Moisture plus function
you will need to enter
–the temperature (at least 130 °C),
and
–the number of bursts of steam.
You can also enter the cooking duration
or you can use the food probe.
Number of bursts of steam and when
they are injected
The number of bursts of steam and
when they are injected will depend on
the type of food being cooked:
–Dough mixtureswill rise better if
steam is injected at the beginning of
the programme.
–Bread and rollsalso rise better if
exposed to steam at the start.
Injecting a burst of steam at the end
of the programme will give the bread
and rolls a glistening crust.
–
Whenroasting meat with a high fat
contentinjecting steam at the
beginning of roasting will draw out
the fat.
Please refer to the sample recipes in
the Moisture plus booklet.After selecting Moisture plus you need
to set the number of bursts of steam.
The options are:
Automatic
This requires enough water for one
burst of steam. The burst of steam
will be injected into the oven
automatically after the heating-up
phase.
Steam is injected for about
5 minutes.
1 burst of steam
2 bursts of steam
3 bursts of steam
The quantity of water required will
depend on the number of bursts of
steam.
The earliest point at which steam can
be injected is after the heating-up
phase has been completed.
One burst of steam takes approx.
5 minutes to be injected into the
oven.
It is a good idea to set the minute
minder to remind you when to inject
the bursts of steam required.
It is quite normal for condensation to
form on the inside of the door during
steam injection. This will dissipate
during the course of the cooking
programme.

							Using Moisture plus
Place the food in the oven.
Select Moisture plus.
Select a temperature.
Select Automatic burst of steam or
select the number of bursts of steam.
Fill a suitable container with the
quantity of water specified.
Automatic/
1 burst of steam: approx. 100 ml
2 bursts of steam: approx. 150 ml
3 bursts of steam: approx. 250 ml
Pull the fill tube forwards (located
below the control panel on the left).

Hold a container with the quantity of
water specified under the tube as
shown. Start the water intake process
with OK.The amount of water required will be
drawn up into the oven. As the water is
taken in, bars will appear in the display.
The amount of water specified will be
more than the amount which is actually
needed which means that some of the
water will remain in the container as not
all of it will be drawn up into the oven.
When you close the oven door you will
hear the noise of the pump briefly.
–Automatic burst of steam
Once the heating-up phase has been
completed, the automatic burst of
steam is injected and the water will
vaporise in the oven compartment.
Once the steam has been injected
successfully, the programme will
continue to the end.
– Injecting bursts of steam manually
Once the heating-up phase has
finished, the bursts of steam can be
injected at the intervals given in the
recipe.
Set the minute minderas a reminder.
When it is time to inject steam:

Select Release steam.
The water will vaporise in the oven
compartment.
If more bursts of steam are required,
proceed as described above.
Once the steam has been injected
successfully, the programme will
continue to the end.

							To evaporate residual moisture
If there is still water in the steam
injection system at the end of a
programme or if the programme is
cancelled, you will be prompted to
evaporate the residual moisture.
This prompt will appear
–when the appliance is switched on,
–when selecting Moisture plus, or
–when selecting an automatic
programme that uses Moisture plus.
Select Cancel to cancel the process
or OK to start it.
It is best to start the evaporation
process straight away so that only
fresh water can be used during the
next cooking programme.The residual moisture evaporation
process
The oven will heat up to approx.
150 °C, and the residual water in the
oven cavity will evaporate.
How long this takes will depend on the
amount of water in the system.
Steam will condense on the door
and the oven cavity, and the
moisture will then need to be wiped
off after the oven has cooled down.
To start the residual moisture
evaporation process
Confirm the prompt Evaporate residual
moisture with OK.
The evaporation process will start
immediately. The display will show
the approximate time remaining.

							To cancel the residual moisture
evaporation process
After the appliance has been
switched on, the prompt to evaporate
residual moisture will appear in the
display. Touch the sensor next to
Cancel. You will only be able to run
functions and Automatic programmes
without Moisture plus.
If you select Moisture plus or one
of the Automatic programmes with
Moisture plus, the prompt to evaporate
residual moisture will appear immedi
-
ately.
If you do not want to start the residual
moisture evaporation process, you will
need to press the Cancel sensor for at
least 3 seconds.
You can now start the cooking
programme.
Do not cancel the prompt for
residual moisture evaporation too
often, as this might cause the steam
injection system to overflow when
taking in more water.
Descaling
The oven will need to be descaled
depending on the number of cooking
programmes using Moisture plus which
have been run and the amount of water
taken into the oven for these. This will
be indicated in the display.
The steam injection system should be
descaled regularly. How often this
needs to be done will depend on the
water hardness level in your area.
You can start the descaling process at
any time by selecting Descale in the
main menu.
If you do not carry out the descaling
process when the prompt to descale
the oven appears, you will only be able
to run functions and Automatic
programmes without Moisture plus.
See Cleaning and care for more
information about descaling.
