Ovens are the workhorse of the kitchen, used for everything from everyday meals to reheating leftovers, cooking snacks and sides, home baking, Sunday roasts and three-course dinners when entertaining. While cooking is enjoyable, cleaning the oven is one of those dreaded tasks that is often put off for another day. Regular cleaning will make this task easier, as it will reduce the amount of fat and grease that builds up over time, as well as reducing the risk of contamination. Our Product Training Manager, Sophie Lane offers expert advice and top tips on how to tackle this task head-on.
For the average household, a Pyrolytic programme once a month should be sufficient, whereas if cleaning by hand you should wipe after every use and do a full clean ideally once a week to avoid a build-up of grease and staining that will become more difficult to remove with subsequent use of the oven.
For the oven door, try to do little and often, as the longer you leave it, the more that food residue becomes baked on and harder to remove. Many ovens allow the oven door to be removed for easier cleaning. Check your operating manual to see if this is the case for your oven.
Once you have removed the door, place it on a soft surface such as a tea towel to prevent any scratching. Separate the panes of glass so that you can clean each one. One of the best at-home degreasers is washing-up liquid. Use this with a sponge or cloth to break down the dirt on the door.
If you have a very dirty door, it can be tempting to use harsh chemicals or hard and metal cloths. Be careful though, as scratches on the door glass can cause the glass to break over time. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to clean the door glass.
If you have an oven with a Pyrolytic self-cleaning programme, you can afford to go a bit longer between doing a full clean, as the heat of this programme will remove pretty much anything from the inner cavity without the need for elbow-grease. However, if cleaning by hand you will need to be a bit more diligent.

We're just about to embark on a significant build and as part of that we will need new dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge/freezer etc. We've also been fans of spending money in the right way, if quality deserves it we'd rather avoid the 'buy cheap, buy twice' scenario.
So, we were all for spending a decent amount on these white goods, however us it worth digging deep to pick up Miele's instead? For example, is a 1200 Miele washing machine worth the extra over, say, a 600 Bosch machine? What is the extra paying for?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Yes in a word. My washing machine and tumble dryer are six years old and if you shop around and at the right time they often come with a ten year guarantee, I expect them to last many more years as my dishwasher is still going strong after twelve years. Miele customer service is excellent btw
We have just moved from Beko/Samsung and before that some Bosch.
The difference was much more noticeable that I thought it could be. Especially the dishwasher which really surprises me. It is so well designed and built.
I had a fit when my husband splashed out on a Miele washing machine at a time when we were very short of cash and had young children. Fantastic machine and it lasted nearly 20 years. Worth every penny.
Depends, i have had miele everything, from dishwashers, washing machines to fridges/steam ovens and built in coffee machines. I wouldn't have any of them again, dishwashers,apart from the top cutlery storage are no better than Bosch. Washing machines ditto, and last time I purchased one you couldn't pause the Miele for forgotten items, so again no good, but both of those aren't too bad.
However, avoid,avoid built in nespresso, fridges and ovens. Had loads of issues with all of these items and appalling customer service considering last spend with them was over 10k.
They're so worth it, I'd never have anything else having used most of their appliances for nearly 20 years with no issues at all.
They have an outlet which is good, but you need to keep a constant check if your looking for specific items: m.miele.co.uk/domestic/outlet-2991.htm
Yes, bought it in 2004 and still working perfectly with one, maybe two loads of clothes washing every day. The man who delivered it said 'this will last until your youngest child goes to uni' and I think he's going to be right
Still haven't plumbed ours in so can't comment on quality, but we bought our washing machine and tumble from AO during their Black Friday sale. They worked out about 500 cheaper altogether waiting for that. Also got cash back from our credit card so worked out well.
There's also a Miele outlet in Oxfordshire, they release their stock weekly and the discounts are very good!
Yes.
Fed up of cheaper ( but still expensive) white-goods that never really did the job, or not for long. Them tried a Bosch as an entry level Miele, wouldn't do that again. Now addicted to the hard stuff.
I've hung out on the JOhn Lewis website on a daily basis to get a reasonable price.
We have a Miele washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, very happy with all of them.
With the washing machine I have you are able to add an extra item once the cycle has started. Not a big point for me, have only used it a couple of times but someone upthread mentioned you couldn't.
I love my Miele washer dryer. 13 years old and still going strong and has been used at least once a day,
When we went to buy it we looked at the water consumption/ electric cost and worked out over a life span of 6 years (the guarantee it came with) it would work out cheaper than its nearest rival.
If mine stops working I would buy another one again.
Hate my Miele washing machine. Stank of oil for ages after it arrived esp on a hot cycle. Made all my clothes go hard, needed to study the manual to understand how to work it, clothes coming out not clean. Miele customer service was terrible, they couldn't care less. After gagging gof months with it trying diff cycles and powders et etc have sacked it off and bought (well won actually - thanks Mumsnet!!) an AEG softwater machine. It's fab. Loads better and hardly need to use any powder. Great machine.
in my opinion yes. however my miele dishwasher is the exception and it is shit!!! so i don't know if that's any help. it's a stupid slimline one and it's garbage. i have to prewash then dishwash then post wash 1/3 of each run
On my second miele washing machine. The current one has been disappointing mainly due to the fact I cannot seem to get it to be quieter.
The customer service is excellent & I got a ten year guarantee so not so worried but may think twice when it needs replacing.
Like the look of the dishwasher though ?
