Cooking capacity and flexibility
The 76-litre cavity gives the Miele H 2861 B oven a spacious interior for family cooking, baking and roasting. Five shelf levels make it easier to position dishes according to the cooking task.
Its eight functions cover a useful range of everyday needs, including Fan Plus, AirFry, Intensive Bake, Grill and Eco Fan Heat. The 30°C to 300°C temperature range also supports both gentle cooking and high-temperature roasting.

Automatic programmes can manage settings for selected dishes, while Miele@Home provides connectivity through compatible smart devices, app control, voice control and smart-home integration.
Handling and cleaning
FlexiClip runners pull trays out more securely, helping with access to hot dishes. SoftOpen and SoftClose provide cushioned door movement, and the 90-degree opening gives unobstructed access to the cavity.
PerfectClean surfaces are intended to make routine cleaning easier, while catalytic liners help reduce the effort needed to manage persistent interior soiling.
