I got sucked in with the "Miele "experience" and made a huge mistake buying this oven
Firstly, I love to cook and so in our reno I have an amazing Hampton's style kitchen (very lucky girl!). I decided on all Miele appliances after going to the Miele Experience Centre cooking class. I class my self as an advanced cook of 40 years. My ovens in the past have always been basic and low end makes.
Firstly, it is not a cooking class at the experience centre; it is more of a demo of their HIGH END products where you get to eat amazing food. I did not have the budget nor did I want fancy digital displays that would take more time to l...Read more
earn and for that matter remember, so my oven is entry level. I expected at $3k to get a pretty extensive manual and recipe book. What a disappointment! Make sure you look at the manual BEFORE you buy to see what I mean (or read the manual here https://www.manualslib.com/products/Miele-H-6260-Bp-8791972.html). Recipes are for the UK/Europe market and trying to find anything to help me learn this oven was a task. Not even a basic cake recipe! So many options for cooking, it is confusing especially with such limited instructions. A DVD would have been so helpful. There are also MANY mistakes in the manual and even in my Miele steam oven manual as well. Not good enough! The moisture plus feature of the oven is why I bought it as I want to make amazing sourdough bread and baguettes. I am still to do that as I have struggled with understanding the moisture feature. I know I have to go back to the centre for a lesson as I cannot do this with the instructions provided. It should not be like that. I have taken photos of the water that floods the bottom of the oven. I have found Miele Experience recipes online to try and better understand and adapt my own recipes but most are very gourmet, chef created recipes and not for everyday eating. I found one today for bread, written for the high end model like most of their recipes. These ovens have built in menus which does not help with my model.1 comment

Early days but love it already
We've had to replace our old oven and decided to go with Miele after our previous good experience with their other products. We've only had the cooker about a week, so this is early days - we've only used a few of the features.
Unlike the laundry appliances and dishwasher, this is an item that Miele only deliver, not install - for that you require a licensed electrician.
We decided against the pyrolitic range because the higher electric load requirement would have required our oven circuit to be upgraded (the existing circuit is rated fo...Read more
r 16 amps). Additionally we don't cook enough of the fatty content that tends to make the cooker that dirty inside, so we chose the Perfect Clean coating. We wanted a unit which would simply slip into the old aperture so a 60cm was ideal, decent capacity and a grill were required of course. A safe, cool door was a must and the multi-layer door provides that. The oven is one of the Moisture Plus range which means the oven draws water in (from a jug, not plumbed in) at the start of a program and creates bursts of steam which improve meat roasting and bakery items. We've only tried it on a few baked goods but it seems to work well enough.1 comment
From being able to heat it from cold to 220C in about four minutes to being able to cook five pizzas at a time (parties and sleepovers), this oven is just the business - we love it.

Dear Miele Reps
We have a 3 phase electrical system - in respect of Mike's insightful comment "We decided against the pyrolitic range because the higher electric load requirement would have required our oven circuit to be upgraded (the existing circuit is rated for 16 amps)."
Could you state what the amperage required is for the Pyrolytic vers is of this model please.

Hi, thank you for your question. From the Miele website product details page, the total rated load is 3.5kW, we cannot give amperage values, your electrician should be able to work the details from the kW rating. Kind regards, Anna.
Many thanks.

How is it after a year?

Love it. In fan mode the heat balance across the entire oven is very even, the fan grill is really useful, the rapid heat up is just that - very rapid - and being able to set the temperature accurately across all modes is a blessing. We also love the various automatic features - start time and duration. We haven't used the water feature as much as we might have expected but that's down to meal choices and it makes a greate improvement when we do.
Yep, still love it and don't regret the cost at all. It's also worth getting two sets of the tray runners which enable the trays (or shelves) to extend completely out of the oven for adding or removing food items - soooo useful.

Miele replaced the thermostat. Oven no longer burning food.
