Food top unevenly browned

Reduce the temperature by 10–20 °C and extend the baking duration.

Use the most suitable shelf level for the food and operating mode as specified in the recipe or cooking chart. Recipes can be found in the instructions, in the recipe booklet, in the operating and installation instructions or online on the Miele website.

Baked goods with delicate surfaces in particular, such as soured cream or quark cakes, brown unevenly due to air circulation with Fan plus. Use the Conventional heat operating mode.

Do not use Rapid heat-up/Booster when baking biscuits and small cakes. They will brown too quickly on top.

Remove any accessories that are not being used from the oven. Also remove the grease filter from the oven, as this obstructs the flow of air. Only insert the grease filter when grilling or roasting.

Wait for the oven to cool down completely before carrying out the following steps:

• Check that the door is properly positioned on its hinges and that the lock is in the correct position. Also check whether the door seal is positioned properly all the way around. Further information on this can be found in the operating and installation instructions or online on the Miele website.

• Ovens with silicone seal: Grease deposits on the door seal can cause it to become brittle and cracked. Remove soiling immediately with warm water, washing-up liquid and a clean sponge cloth or a clean, damp microfibre cloth. Wipe the seal dry using a soft cloth.

• Ovens with fibreglass seal: The sensitive fibreglass seal can be damaged by rubbing or scouring. Avoid cleaning the fibreglass seal.

If the door seal is brittle, cracked or badly worn, contact Miele Customer Service.
