Food top unevenly browned

Reduce the temperature by 50°F and extend the baking duration.

Use the shelf level that is best suited for the food and the operating mode according to the cooking chart. You can find the cooking chart in the “Notes on use” booklet or in the operating instructions.

Baked goods with delicate surfaces in particular, such as sour cream or quark cakes, brown unevenly due to air circulation with Convection Bake. In this case, it is better to use the “Surround” operating mode.

Do not use the Rapid PreHeat function again if this problem occurs. This allows you to achieve an even cooking result, especially for more delicate baked goods such as cookies.

Remove 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 broiling or roasting.

Carry out the following steps once the oven has cooled down completely.
Check that the door is properly positioned on its hinges and that the lock is in the correct position. Also check whether the seal is positioned properly all the way around. For further details on this, see the operating instructions. Grease deposits on the door seal can cause it to become brittle and cracked. For this reason, it is best to clean the seal every time the oven is used using a clean sponge and warm water with a little liquid dish soap or with a damp microfiber cloth. Wipe the seal dry using a soft cloth. If the door seal is brittle, cracked, or badly worn, contact Miele Customer Service.
