Tips for Miele oven owners from our Miele service guy
Comments (22)When I bought my oven Masterchef was included. There was no option. I've used it twice in 8 years and could easily do without it. However, I've read posts from people who were buying the oven for Masterchef. It works well if you don't know how to cook, or aren't sure or don't want to bother. If the oven doesn't have it then attention really must be paid to learning the way the various combination heat settings work and which to use for what since this is European convection. Example: one of my favorite settings -- autoroast -- is a cold-oven setting. By that I mean no preheat is required. The food is started in a cold oven then both the broiler and oven element are engaged to sear and bring the oven up to temperature. Autoroast isn't suitable for a souffle. But it's great for roasting poultry, meat or veggies -- and terrific for Thanksgiving turkey which is heavy and cumbersome to put into a preheated oven. Learning the oven is well worth it IMO but the alternative to figuring it out is Masterchef settings. Depends on your needs....See MoreTips for cooking turkey in Miele oven?
Comments (33)I'd be careful about putting cloth or parchment over the turkey in this oven as it uses the broiler to sear. After would be ok. My choice would be cooking parchment. Chinchette, you shouldn't need to tent it while in the oven -- in theory at least. The breast skin can get very dark and crisp but there's stuffing under there and it gets nice and crackly. When it comes out, I let it rest so it's easier to slice and stays hot. I'd put some cooking parchment over and and a couple of dishtowels on that to hold in the heat. Also, forgot to mention. Before I bought the oven I had a long talk with the Miele consumer people who emphasized that when you open this oven it loses 30% of the heat. I see people open an oven, baste leisurely, then wonder why the turkey takes so long. Big bonus to no-basting....See MoreMiele Steam/Combi Steam ovens - plumbed vs non-plumbed?
Comments (45)I don't know the answer but I am curious. if I were you (and having the benefit of hindsight) I wouldn't hesitate to call any of the Miele USA "Experience Centers" and ask to talk to any of the design staff. If you are in the US start with the Princeton, NJ center, their US headquarters. Even better if you can get to a center. The staff at these centers are a world apart from anyone you'll encounter at any appliance dealer, they use the products for demos and classes and typically have the appliances in their own homes. And it's their job to know the details on what you are asking. And report back and let us know. P.S: A little searching and I found this: https://www.mieleusa.com/media/ex/us/PressReleases/2021/9.2021_Generation_7000_Launch.pdf. Food View sounds interesting. There's also this thread: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6229141/miele-7000-series-speed-combi-steam#n=10 Advice on calling the experience centers still stands....See MoreFault 20 on Miele Combination Steam Oven DGC 6800 XL (cross posted)
Comments (10)Holding the timer button at the end of this procedure is really key. I had no problem getting to the service menu for both my CSO and my SpeedOven. But it's overall really boring. There isn't much you can do in here (other than intentionally misconfiguring and then breaking things). Pretty much the only relevant options seems to be a full factory reset, and a reset of the countdown to the next mandatory descaling. Neither one is likely to help nor even be applicable. Sounds like a genuine hardware fault. Apart from the reasons already given, I believe "fault 20" can also mean that the appliance doesn't recognize the tanks as fully seated. Pull them out and try to put them back in place. I don't have the non-plumbed version, but maybe try switching the left and right tank, if that's possible? Just don't force things, if they don't fit easily. Miele suggests that the tanks sometimes don't move easily and might need a small amount of lubrication. If that's the problem, then I'd use something like https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007QU2UAA, as I do have that on hand for my whole-house water filter. But you could always ask Miele, if they have a specific product that they recommend....See MoreH L
