Miele H 5981 Bp Manual

							Oven interior
The oven interior is coated with dark
pyrolytic enamelwhich facilitates
cleaning.
This is a particularly hard enamel with
an extremely smooth surface and very
good anti-stick properties.
Manual cleaning of the oven interior
Allow the oven to cool down before
cleaning by hand.
Danger of burning!
The oven interior and the inside of
the door should be cleaned after
each use. If this is not done
subsequent soiling from baking and
roasting will become worse and
make cleaning harder. In extreme
cases, heavy soiling could even
damage the surface.
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 it
can damage it.Most cooking residues can be removed
with a damp cloth and a mild solution of
hot water and washing-up liquid.
Never use hard brushes, hard
sponges, wire wool pads*, knives or
any other abrasive materials or
cleaning agents. They can damage
the enamel.
If using an oven spray, the
manufacturers instructions must be
followed.
* Non-abrasive stainless steel spiral
pads can, however, be used.
To make cleaning easier
– remove the oven door,
– dismantle the door,
– remove the FlexiClip telescopic
runners,
– take out the shelf runners,
– lower the top heating/grill element.
Instructions for doing so are given
further on in this section.

							Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven interior
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 from the
oven interior before starting the
pyrolytic cleaning process. This also
applies to the FlexiClip runners,
shelf runners and any optional
accessories. 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.
The pyrolytic programme duration will
vary depending on the level of soiling.
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.
Starting a pyrolytic process
Take all accessories out of the oven.
Select the Pyrolitic function.
Start the pyrolytic cleaning process.
The door will lock.
You candelay the start of the
pyrolytic processfor example, to take
advantage of cheaper night electricity
tarifs. To do this:

Select Start time and select a time
to start the programme at.
You can change the start time if you
wish at any time up until the delay
period has elapsed.
At the end of the programmea buzzer
will sound and the message
Programme finished will appear in the
display.

Switch off the oven.

							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.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 last 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
Take care when removing the door -
it weighs approx. 13.5 kg.
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 hinge 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 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 line up with the
edge of the table. Make sure the
glass lies flat and does not get
broken during cleaning.
Flip the glass pane retainers
outwards to open them.

							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 glass fibre 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.
Cleaning and care

							Clean the glass panes and other
components with a Miele E-cloth or a
clean sponge and a solution of hot
water and washing-up liquid. Wipe
dry using a soft cloth.
The fibre-glass seal is particularly
sensitive and should not be cleaned
unless absolutely necessary.
Rubbing it can damage it.
Clean the 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.
To reassemble the door:
The two middle panes are identical.
To ensure they are refitted correctly,
one of the corners is more angled
than the others.
When refitting the lower pane, the
more angled corner must be
inserted in the left hand retainer at
the bottom.
Replace the first of the middle panes.
The more angled corner must be at
the bottom left.
When refitting the upper pane, the
more angled corner must be
inserted at the top left.

Replace the second of the middle
panes with the more angled corner at
the top left.
