Is it usual to have a problem with Termites in houses Robyn.We tend to have woodworm problem in this country in older houses.

Johnro, yes it is a pain taking off all the metal. Just lazy here :)

The door also if you want to clean that with its 3 layers of glass.

What model do you have?

I absolutely love mine & wouldnt buy anything but a miele now.

DJ, bummer about the car. We have just had lots of bills in too >:(
DH mdical bills about $2000, bone scans, mris etc, poor dh sleeping in back brace atm >:(
Pool lights about $600, transformer burnt out, again only 3 yrs old & not used much!!
Pool pump broke yesterday!! Ony replaced last March, hoping warranty covers it. Not happy house only 3 yrs old.
Now were probably have to get an expert out to fit apple tv, we are confused.

Hot today, cant use the pool so of to Serpentine Falls.

Too many sharks to go to the beach.

CC we live beside bush so termites + Australian bush are synonymous - however we had the termite protection installed, unfortunately there is no insurance which covers white ants  :(

....had to pull out all paperwork H to discover model H4271BP SS and found out that the dish is the universal oven dish not gourment - be really careful with the door I actually cracked a corner of 1 layer of glass when putting it back so $1000 later I had a new layer of glass.  Mind you I continued using the oven with 2 glass layers, however for that period of time it was not cool touch - luckily no littlies around!!! Regards miele - took me a time to get used to the soft touch ceran hob but I love the miele dishwasher!!!! :)

We have had an accident with the door, dh was too forceful & snapped the black bit off, yes we had the miele man rou d too!! I need to get them roundagain, my cleaning function isnt cleaning properly, the code translated to oven too dirty :o :o :o

How many sets of telescopic runners do you have? We got just one set, but really need 3.


Just looked at miele site, coudnt see your oven, but read that I am meant to have 2 sets of telescopic runners, going to email them. Thats the problem with builing, everything is new so you dont have time to check everything.

.....given that we built 6yrs ago models have probably changed - I have 1 set telelscopic rummers which are great for the oven dish!!! I actually put water in that dish so that I have a steam oven - works a treat!!!!  :)

...this is the 1 I have H, so many uses. After looking at the site I think my oven is now model H 4412 BP.  At times I wish that the oven had a larger capacity - double oven would be lovely!!!!

I thought I had a miele dish, but I think the dish i have must have been with the Beefeater bbq. Its not robust like yours & doesnt say miele. As you can see, never been used.

I do have a rotisserie for the oven, must set that up. I love my 900, can get 2 baking trays side by side. H5981BP is my model.

That's why I bought my Ilve 900 as I use my oven a lot especially when the family comes over.
Wish I had bought Miele instead as the gas hob on Ilve  gives me problems especially if using more than 2 burners.
The oven itself is fine and came with 2 telescopic runners  and rotisserie.
Next home will have Miele for sure  ;)

Have been looking at these on the on line shop. I am assuming this doesnt rust?
Might ask for run or my birthday, but wondering if  I really need one :o
What do you use it for?
I have 2 scanpan roasting dishes & lots of Le Creuset, lus cheap ones which I think I will keep just for using in the bbq, & when there stuffed just bin them.
