Guide To The Functions - Miele H 2261 B Operating And Installation Instructions

The oven has a range of functions for
preparing a variety of foods.
Surround 
Browning / Broiling element + Baking
element
This function is a premium conventional
baking mode. Use for baking and
roasting traditional recipes, preparing
soufflés and cooking at low
temperatures.
If using an older recipe or cookbook,
set the oven temperature approx. 50°F
(10 °C) lower than recommended. This
will not change cooking times.`
Bake 
(Baking element)
This function is similar to the "Bake
mode" of a conventional oven. Use
towards the end of cooking to brown
the bottom of the dish. Ideal for cakes,
baked apples and frozen dinners.
Maxi Broil 
(Browning / Broiling element)
Use this function for broiling or searing
small quantities. Ideal for chops, ribs,
browning baked dishes and toasting
bread.
Defrost 
(Convection fan)
For the gentle defrosting of frozen food.

Guide to the functions

Rapid PreHeat 
(Browning / Broiling element +
Convection fan with heating element)
This function allows the oven to be
heated to the desired temperature
quickly.
Once the desired temperature has been
reached an oven function must be
selected.
Convection Bake 
(Convection fan with heating element)
Use this function for baking and
roasting on several levels at the same
time. You can cook at lower
temperatures than with the Surround
 function because the fan
distributes the heat directly to the food.
Intensive 
(Convection heat with fan + Baking
element)
This function gently circulates heated
air from the lower heating element
using the fan to create a brick oven
environment. Ideal for baking pizza,
focaccia, pies and tarts that require a
crisp base and moist toppings. Not
recommended for roasting or baking
thin items.
