IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Technical safety
Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations and the provided installation instruc-
tions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for examination,
repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by unauthorized per-
sons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for any
visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appli-
ance.
Reliable and safe operation of this steam oven can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appli-
ance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to
the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to the
power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety
of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
This steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Tampering with electrical connections or components and me-
chanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause opera-
tional faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be per-
formed by a Miele-authorized service technicians. Work by unquali-
fied persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
If the plug has been removed or the power cord is not supplied
with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to the power supply
by a suitably qualified electrician.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a special
connection cable typeH05VV-F (PVC insulated). See "Electrical
connection."
Before installation, maintenance, and repair work, the steam oven
must be disconnected from the electrical supply. It is only com-
pletely isolated from the electrical supply if: the fuse has been re-
moved (where applicable), the main circuit breaker has been tripped,
or the power cord has been unplugged from the wall outlet. Always
be sure ti pull the plug not the cord.
If the steam oven is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close
the door while the appliance is in operation. Heat and moisture can
build up behind the closed door and cause damage to the range and
to the surrounding cabinets and flooring. Do not close the door until
the appliance has completely cooled down.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifi-
cally recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be ref-
fered to a qualified technician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if
the appliance has been damaged in any manner. Contact Miele’s
Technical Service Department.
Proper use
Danger of burning. The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior,
cooked food, oven accessories or hot steam. Use pot holders when
placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven
shelves etc. in a hot oven. Take care when putting cooking pans into
the oven or removing them not to spill the contents.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars in
the steam oven, as pressure will build up in the container, causing it
to explode.
Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven can
melt at high temperatures and can even damage the steam oven or
catch fire.
Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer
as being suitable for use in a steam oven. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on use. If you want to use plastic containers for steam-
ing food make sure that they are temperature resistant to 210°F /
100°C and steam resistant. Any other plastic containers could melt,
become brittle or break when subjected to heat.
Food which is left in the oven to be kept hot can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the appliance. Do
not use the steam oven for keeping food warm and do not use uten-
sils in the appliance which could corrode.
Do not leave the appliance door open unnecessarily as someone
may trip over it or be injured by it.
The door can support a maximum weight of 22lbs (10kg). Do not
sit, lean or place heavy items on the open oven door. Also be sure
nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven cavity. The
steam oven could get damaged.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13
Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the steam oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
If it does ignite do not put the flames out with water. Switch the
steam oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by keep-
ing the oven door closed.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam
oven when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up the room.
Broiling food for an excessively long time can cause it to dry out
with the risk of catching fire.
Do not exceed recommended broiling times.
Some foods dry out very quickly and can be ignited by high broil-
ing temperatures. Do not use broiling functions for crisping rolls or
bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Instead use the Convection
Plus or Surround functions.
To avoid fueling any flames, do not open the appliance door if you
see smoke coming from the food in the oven interior. Interrupt the
current process by turning off the appliance and disconnecting it
from the power. Do not open the door until the smoke has dissi-
pated.
Use caution when using alcohol in your recipes. Alcohol evapo-
rates at high temperatures but may, in rare circumstances, combust
on the hot heating elements.
Never cover the floor of the oven with aluminum foil, or place oven
dishes, pans, saucepans or trays directly onto the floor of the oven.
Never use the steam oven without a drain filter as large food
residues may block the drain and the pump.
To prevent the risk of damage, do not leave the roast probe in the
oven cavity when it is not being used.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14
When using an electrical appliance, e.g., a hand-held mixer, near
the steam oven, make sure that the power cord does not get caught
in the door. The insulation on the cord could become damaged, giv-
ing rise to an electric shock hazard.
Do not operate the appliance without the lamp cover. Steam could
attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Steam
could also damage the electrical components.
The steam oven should be installed at a safe height for users to
safely access all cooking levels and pans. Otherwise spills could
cause burns or scalding and children may be put at risk by the hot
appliance door.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or in the
vicinity of the cooktop.
Open the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before
placing or removing food.
Keep the oven vent ducts open.
Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.
To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height
while the steam oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the
oven is hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not
glowing. Interior surfaces of an steam oven become hot enough to
cause burns. External parts of the steam oven such as the door
glass, vents, and the control panel can become hot. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come
into contact with heating elements or interior surfaces of the steam
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this oven.
Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
Scratches on the door glass can cause the glass to break.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean the door glass.
The side runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care").
Ensure that they are replaced correctly and do not use the oven
without them in place.
To avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surfaces of the Speed
Oven, remove any splashes on the interior walls of the oven from
food or liquids containing salt.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty will become void.
Only use the Miele roast probe supplied with this oven. If it is
faulty, it must only be replaced with a Miele genuine roast probe.

Description of functions
22
Control panel
The water container and condensate
container are located behind the control
panel. The control panel is opened and
closed using the "Lift Panel" sensor.
The panel is equipped with a device
which will automatically stop it moving
if it meets an obstruction while opening
or closing. Do not touch the door han-
dle while the panel is opening or clos-
ing.
Water container
The maximum water level is 3 pints
(1.4liters), the minimum 1 quart (1liter).
These levels are indicated on the con-
tainer. Do not exceed the maximum
level.
The amount of water depends on the
type of food and the duration of cook-
ing. You may need to refill the water
container during the cooking procedure.
Opening the door will increase the
amount used.
Fill the water container to the maximum
level before each use.
Condensate container
Condensate that collects in the appli-
ance from cooking is pumped into the
condensate container. The container
has a maximum capacity of 3 pints
(1.4liters).
Grease filter
Insert the grease filter in the back wall
for all roasting programs.
It should be removed when using steam
programs.
It must also be removed when baking,
as otherwise results can be uneven (ex-
ception: deep fresh fruit pies, pizza with
extra toppings).
Roast probe
The roast probe measures the core
temperature in the food, enabling the
temperature during the cooking process
to be monitored simply and accurately.
Temperature / Core tempera-
ture
Some functions have a default tempera-
tures. This temperature can be altered
within the given range for the program
or program stage in use, or for every
time that program is used (see "Settings
- Recommended temperatures").
The core temperature can also be
changed within a given range for an in-
dividual cooking process or cooking
stage.
Description of functions
23
Moisture content
The Combi Steam and Reheat modes use
a combination of oven heat and mois-
ture. You can alter the moisture/humid-
ity level within a given range for an indi-
vidual cooking program or a cooking
stage.
Depending on the setting for the pro-
gram, either moisture or fresh air is in-
jected into the oven. If the humidity
level is set to 0%, the maximum
amount of air will be injected and no
moisture. If the level is set to 100%, air
will not be injected into the oven and
the maximum amount of moisture will
be injected.
Some food gives off moisture during
the cooking process. This moisture
from the food also controls the amount
of moisture needed. If the required
amount of moisture is very low and the
food already contains a lot of water the
steam generator may not be activated
at all.
Cooking duration
Depending on the function, you can set
a cooking duration of between 1 minute
and 6, 10 or 12 hours.
The duration of the MasterChef, Mainte-
nance and Menu Cooking programs is
set at the factory and cannot be altered.
With the Steam Cooking function and
programs that use steam alone, the
cooking duration does not start to
count down until the set temperature
has been reached. It begins immedi-
ately with all other functions and pro-
grams.
Noises
You will hear a pumping sound when
the appliance is turned on, during use
and after turning it off. This is the sound
of water being pumped through the
system and is quite normal.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.
Description of functions
24
Preheating phase
During the preheating phase the display
will show the temperature in the cook-
ing compartment as it rises and Pre-
Heating in all programs except for Mas-
terChef, Menu Cooking, and Maintenance.
During steam cooking, the duration of
the preheating phase will depend on the
quantity and the temperature of the
food. In general this phase will last for
approx. 5 minutes. The duration will be
longer if you are preparing refrigerated
or frozen food.
Cooking phase
The cooking phase begins when the set
temperature is reached. During the
cooking phase, the time left will be
shown on the display.
Steam reduction
If cooking is performed in a certain tem-
perature range during steam cooking
and combination cooking, the steam re-
duction function switches on automati-
cally at the end of the cooking program.
This reduces the amount of steam
which escapes from the appliance
when the door is opened at the end of
the cooking duration. Steam Reduction

densate container. Push upwards
slightly as you take them out of the
appliance.
Rinse the water container / conden-
sate container by hand or in the dish-
washer.
Before using for the first time
27
Accessories / Oven interior
Remove all accessories from the
steam oven.
Wash them by hand using hot water
and a soft clean sponge and a mild
solution of warm water and liquid
dish soap or in the dishwasher.
Risk of damage to the surfaces of
the universal tray and the wire oven
rack.
The universal tray and wire oven rack
are treated with PerfectClean and
must only be cleaned by hand.
See "Cleaning and care - Perfect-
Clean" for more information.
Clean the universal tray and wire
oven rack with a solution of warm
water and liquid dish soap applied
with a soft sponge.
The interior of the steam oven has
been treated at the factory with a con-
ditioning agent.
To remove this, clean the oven inte-
rior with warm water and liquid dish
soap and then dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth.
Setting the water hardness
level
The steam oven is factory set for Hard
water. It must be adjusted local water
hardness to ensure trouble-free opera-
tion and to ensure that descaling is car-
ried out at the correct interval. The
harder the water, the more often it will
need to be descaled.
Check the hardness of your local wa-
ter supply and adjust the water hard-
ness as necessary (see "Settings -
Water hardness").
Before using for the first time
28
Setting the correct boiling
point for water
Before cooking food for the first time,
you must set the boiling point for water,
as this varies depending on the altitude
of the installation location of the appli-
ance. This procedure also flushes out
the waterways.
This procedure must be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
Only use cold tap water (less than
68°F / 20°C). Never use distilled or
mineral water or other liquids.
Remove the water container and fill it
to the "max" marker.
Push the water container into the ap-
pliance until it engages.
You should then run the Steam Cook-
ing program at 210°F / 100°C for
15minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation ‒ Steam cooking."
Resetting the correct boiling point for
water
If you move, the appliance will need to
be re-set for the new altitude if this dif-
fers from the old one by 984 ft (300m)
or more. To do this, descale the appli-
ance (see "Cleaning and care – Mainte-
nance – Descaling").
Heating up the steam oven
To remove the grease from the ring
heating element, heat the appliance
up with nothing in it at 400°F / 200°C
using the Convection Bake function for
30minutes.
Proceed as described in "Operation ‒
Functions without steam."
There will be a slight smell the first
time the heating element is heated up.
The smell and any vapors will dissi-
pate after a short time, and do not in-
dicate a faulty connection or appli-
ance.
It is important to ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated during this
operation.

setting is a medium doneness and
browning. It will be highlighted. To
change the setting simply move the
highlighting to the left or the right.
– The weights shown refer to the
weight per piece. You can cook a
piece of salmon with a weight of ½ lb
(250 g) or 10 pieces of salmon with a
weight of ½ lb (250 g) at the same
time.
– The oven interior needs to be at room
temperature before starting a Mas-
terChef program.
– When placing food in an already hot
steam oven, be very careful when
opening the door. Hot steam can es-
cape. Step back from the steam oven
and wait until the steam has dissi-
pated. When putting cooking pans or
the drip tray into the oven or taking
them out, take care not to spill the
contents. Avoid contact with hot
steam, and do not touch the hot oven
interior walls. Danger of burning and
scalding.

General notes
59
The "General Notes" section contains
general information. You will find more
detailed information about particular
foods and how to cook them in the
other sections.
The advantages of cooking
with steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are re-
tained as the food is not immersed in
water.
Cooking with steam also retains the
true taste of the food better than con-
ventional cooking. We therefore recom-
mend seasoning the food after it has
been cooked. Food also retains its
fresh, original color.
Suitable containers
Cooking pans
This steam oven is supplied with stain-
less steel cooking pans. Other contain-
ers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated
and solid, are available as optional ex-
tras (see "Optional accessories"). This
enables you to choose the most suit-
able container for the food you are pre-
paring.
It is best to use perforated pans for
Steam Cooking. The steam can reach
the food from all sides and the food is
cooked evenly.
Your own pans
You can also use your own pans. How-
ever, please note the following:
– The pan must be suitable for using in
an oven and must be steam resistant.
Plastic pans can only be used for
steam cooking if the manufacturer
has stated that they are suitable for
such use.
– Thick-sided pans made from porce-
lain, china or stoneware, for example,
are not so suitable for steam cooking.
They do not conduct heat well and as
a result cooking durations will be
considerably longer than those given
in the charts.
– Place the cooking pans on the rack
or on a suitable tray and not on the
oven floor.
– Ensure that there is a gap between
the upper rim of the container and
the top of the cooking compartment
to allow sufficient steam into the con-
tainer.
General notes
60
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can
also cook on several levels at the same
time. This will not alter the cooking du-
ration.
When using more than one deep pan at
the same time, it is best to offset them
on their runners and to leave at least
one level free in between them.
Always insert cooking pans and the
rack between the rails of the shelf level
supports so that they cannot tip.
Frozen food
The heating up phase for frozen food is
longer than for fresh food. The greater
the quantity of frozen food, the longer
the preheating phase.
Temperature
A maximum temperature of 210°F /
100°C is reached when steam cooking
is taking place. Most types of food will
cook at this temperature. Some more
delicate types of food, such as soft
fruit, must be cooked at lower tempera-
tures as otherwise they will burst. More
information is given in the relevant sec-
tion.
Cooking duration
In general, the cooking durations for
Steam Cooking are the same as for
cooking food in a saucepan. More infor-
mation about any factors which may af-
fect the cooking duration is given in the
relevant sections.
The quantity of food does not affect the
cooking duration. 1 lb of potatoes will
take the same time to cook as ½ lb.
The durations given in the charts are
guidelines only. We recommend select-
ing the shorter cooking duration quoted
to start with. If food is not cooked suffi-
ciently after the shorter time it can be
put back in the oven and cooked for
longer.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the
cooking pan ²/₃full to prevent the liquid
spilling when the cooking pan is re-
moved from the oven.
Your own recipes - Steam
cooking
Food and recipes which are prepared in
pot or a pan can also be cooked in the
steam oven. The cooking times in the
steam oven will be the same. Please
note that food will not be brown or crisp
when cooking with steam.
General notes
61
Wire oven rack / universal tray
Use the rack above the universal tray
when roasting or broiling. The cooking
liquids will collect in the tray and can
then be used to make a gravy or sauce.
If you are using the universal tray with
the rack on top, e.g. for broiling, insert
the tray between the rails of the side
runners and the rack will automatically
slide in above them. When removing
them from the oven pull both parts out
together.
Non-tip safety notches
The wire oven rack and universal tray
have non-tip safety notches in the mid-
dle which prevent them being pulled
right out when they only need to be par-
tially pulled out. The tray and rack can
then only be taken out of the oven by
raising them upwards and then pulling
them out.
Steam cooking
62
Vegetables
Fresh food
Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual
way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.
Frozen food
Frozen vegetables do not need to be
defrosted beforehand unless the veg-
etables have been frozen together in a
block.
To cook frozen vegetables, program the
same time as for fresh ones.
Break up the larger, frozen together
pieces. Please refer to the cooking
times on the packaging.
Cooking pan
Food such as peas or asparagus
spears, which have little or no space
between them, will take longer to cook
because the steam has less space to
work in. For an even result, it is best to
use a shallow container for these types
of food, and only fill it about
1-2" (3-5cm) deep. When cooking large
quantities divide the food between 2 or
3 shallow containers rather than using
one deep one.
Different types of vegetables which take
the same length of time to cook can be
cooked together in one cooking pan.
Use solid containers for vegetables
which are cooked in liquid, e.g. cab-
bage.
Shelf level
When cooking vegetables with a dis-
tinctive color (e.g. beets) in a perforated
container at the same time as cooking
other foods in other containers, place
the drip tray directly underneath the
perforated container to catch any drips
and therefore avoid any color transfer.
Cooking duration
As with conventional methods, when
cooking vegetables with steam, the
cooking duration will depend on the
size and also whether you want the
vegetables to be al dente or soft/well
done. Example:
firm potatoes, cut into quarters
= approx. 17minutes
firm potatoes, cut in half
= approx. 21minutes

Meat
Fresh food
Prepare the meat as usual.
Frozen food
Meat should be thoroughly defrosted
before cooking in the steam oven (see
"Defrosting").
Preparation
For meat which needs to be seared be-
fore being cooked, e.g. for a stew, sear
the meat in a pan on the cooktop first.
Cooking duration
The cooking time depends on the thick-
ness and consistency of the food. The
thicker the meat, the longer the cooking
time.
Tips
– Use a perforated pan to retain the fla-
vor when cooking meat. Place a solid
pan or universal tray underneath to
catch the juices. You can use these to
make a gravy or freeze them for later
use.
– Boiling chicken, pork rind, meat, ribs
and meat bones can be used to make
stock. Place the meat together with
some mixed vegetables in a solid
cooking pan and add cold water. The
longer the cooking duration, the
stronger the stock.

Frozen fish should be slightly defrosted
before cooking.
Preparing for use
Add some lemon or lime juice to fish
before cooking. The citric acid helps the
flesh stay firm.
It is not necessary to season fish when
cooking with steam as this method re-
tains the minerals which give the fish its
unique flavor.
Cooking pans
If using a perforated pan, grease it first.
Shelf level
When cooking fish in a perforated con-
tainer at the same time as cooking
other types of food in other containers,
place the container with the fish directly
above the tray to catch any liquid and
so avoid any transfer of tastes to other
food.
Steam cooking
68
Temperature
185° F – 195° F / 85° C – 90° C
For gently cooking delicate types of
fish, such as sole.
212° F / 100 °C
For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.
cod and salmon.
Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.
Cooking duration
The cooking duration depends on the
thickness and the consistency of the
food, and not on the weight.
The longer fish cooks, the firmer its
flesh will become. Use the cooking du-
rations given in the chart. If you find
that the fish is not cooked sufficiently
only cook it for a few minutes more.
When cooking fish in sauce or stock,
we recommend that you increase the
cooking duration quoted by a few min-
utes.
Tips
– Adding herbs and spices, such as
dill, will help bring out the full flavor of
the fish.
– Cook large fish in the swimming posi-
tion. To help maintain the shape of
the fish, place a small cup or similar
upside down in the cooking pan, and
arrange the fish bellyside down over
the cup.
– You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish
heads, bones, tails etc to make a fish
stock. Place the fish scraps together
with some mixed vegetables in a
solid cooking pan and add cold wa-
ter. Cook at 212°F / 100°C for 60 to
90 minutes. The longer the cooking
duration, the stronger the stock.

Menu Cooking - Manual
Before cooking meals with the "Menu
Cooking" function, turn off the steam
reduction system (see "Settings").
"Menu Cooking" is intended for cooking
a whole meal containing types of food
which have different cooking durations,
e.g., fish filet with rice and broccoli.
Each dish is placed in the oven at dif-
ferent times so that they are all ready at
the same time.
Shelf level
When cooking fish or food with a dis-
tinctive color (e.g. beetroot) in a perfo-
rated container, place the perforated
container directly above the drip tray /
universal tray (depending on model) to
avoid any transfer of flavor or color to
other food and to prevent liquid drip-
ping onto food below it.
Temperature
Whole meals should be cooked at a
temperature of 212°F / 100°C as this is
the temperature required to cook the
majority of foods.
Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest
temperature when different tempera-
tures are required for different types of
food, e.g. 185°F / 85°C for seabream
and 212°F / 100°C for potatoes.
If the recommended cooking tempera-
ture for the food is 185°F / 85°C, for ex-
ample, try cooking it at 212°F / 100°C
and testing the result. Some delicate
types of fish with a soft structure, e.g.
sole and plaice will become very firm
when cooked at 212°F / 100°C.
Cooking duration
If you are increasing the recommended
temperature, shorten the cooking dura-
tion by approx. ¹/₃.
Example
Rice 20 minutes
Tilapia filet 6 minutes
Broccoli 4 minutes
20minutes minus 6 minutes=14min-
utes (first cooking duration: rice)
6minutes minus 4minutes=2minutes
(second cooking duration: tilapia filet)

Place the rice in the steam oven first.
Set the first cooking duration: 14 min-
utes.
After 14 minutes, place the tilapia in
the steam oven.
Set the second cooking duration: 2

After 2 minutes, place the broccoli in
the steam oven.
Set the third cooking duration: 4 min-
utes.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
82
Always follow USDA guidelines on
food safety.
This gentle cooking method allows food
to be cooked slowly at a low, constant
temperature in vacuum packaging.
With vacuum cooking, moisture does
not evaporate and all nutrients and fla-
vors are retained.
The result is flavorful and cooked
evenly.
Only use food that is fresh and in
good condition.
Ensure hygienic conditions and that
food has not been out of the refriger-
ator too long, e.g. during transporta-
tion.
Use only heat-stable, boiling-resis-
tant vacuum bags.
Do not cook food in the manufactur-
ers packaging, such as vacuum-
packed frozen food. It is possible
that an unsuitable vacuum bag was
used.
Use the vacuum bag only once.
Vacuum-seal the food only with a
sous-vide vacuum sealer that guar-
antees a full vacuum of 99.8%.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
83
Important usage information
To obtain an optimum cooking result,
observe the following information:
– Use less herbs and spices than for
conventional cooking since the influ-
ence on the taste of the food is more
intensive.
You can also prepare the food unsea-
soned and add seasonings after
cooking.
– The cooking duration reduces when
salt, sugar, and liquids are added.
– The food becomes firmer with the
addition of acidic ingredients, such
as lemon or vinegar.
– Do not use alcohol or garlic as an un-
pleasant taste may result.
– Only use vacuum bags that match
the size of the food. If the vacuum
bag is too big, too much air may re-
main inside.
– If you want to cook several foods in
one vacuum bag, put the food in the
bag one next to the other.
– If you want to cook several vacuum
bags at once, put the bags on the
shelf one next to the other.
– The cooking durations depend on the
thickness of the food.
– In case of higher temperatures and/or
longer cooking durations, a lack of
water may occur. Check the display
now and then.
– Keep the door closed during the
cooking procedure. Opening the door
extends the cooking process and can
change the cooking result.
Tips
– Freeze liquids such as marinades be-
fore vacuum-sealing to prevent them
from escaping from the vacuum bag.
– Fold the edges of the vacuum bag
outwards for filling in order to obtain
clean, perfect weld seams.
– If you do not want to eat the food di-
rectly after cooking, put it in an ice
bath and then store it at a maximum
of 37°F / 3°C. In this way, you can
maintain quality and taste while ex-
tending the life of the food..
– After cooking, cut the vacuum bag on
all sides to access the food better.
– Briefly sear meat and fish before
serving.
– Serve the food on preheated plates.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
84
Method
Rinse the food with cold water and
dry it.
Put the food in a vacuum bag and
add spices or liquid if desired.
Vacuum-seal the food with the sous-
vide vacuum sealer.
For optimum cooking results, insert
the rack on shelf level2.
Lay the vacuum-sealed food on the
shelf (next to each other in the case
of several bags).
Select Operating Modes.
Select Sous-vide.
Adjust the recommended tempera-
ture if necessary.
Confirm with OK.
Set the cooking duration. Any time
between 1minute and 10hours can
be set.
Confirm with OK.
Select further settings if required (see
"Operation: Steam cooking - Addi-
tional functions").
Possible causes for poor re-
sults
The vacuum bag opened:
– The seam was not clean or secure
enough and dissolved.
– The bag was damaged by a sharp
bone.
The food has an unpleasant or strange
taste:
– The food was stored incorrectly.
– Your hands or counter were not per-
fectly clean.
– Too much spice was used.
– The bag or seam were damaged.
– The vacuum was insufficient.
– The food was not immediately eaten
or cooled after cooking.

Reheat
Always follow USDA guidelines on
food safety.
The steam oven is very effective at re-
heating food gently, without drying it
out or cooking it further. The food re-
heats evenly and does not need to be
stirred during the reheating process.
You can reheat individual dishes or
plated meals which have been prepared
previously (e.g. meat, vegetables and
potatoes).
Suitable containers
Small quantities can be reheated on a
plate, larger quantities should be placed
in a cooking pan.
Duration
10-15 minutes are usually sufficient for
one plate of food. More than one plate
will need a little longer.
If you are reheating several plated
meals one after the other, the reheating
time can be reduced by around 5 min-
utes for the second and subsequent
plates as the oven will still be hot.
Moisture content
The more moist the food, the less mois-
ture that needs to be added.
Tips
– Food does not need to be covered
before it is reheated.
– Do not reheat large items whole. Di-
vide it into portions and reheat these
as plated meals.
– Compact items, such as stuffed pep-
pers or roulades, should be cut in
half.
– Please note that breaded items will
not retain their crispness when they
are reheated.
– Reheat sauces separately, except for
dishes such as stew and casseroles
where the sauce is part of the dish.

Defrost
Always follow USDA guidelines on
food safety.
It is much quicker to defrost food in the
steam oven than at room temperature.
Temperature
140°F / 60°C is the best temperature for
defrosting.
Exception: 122°F / 50°C for minced
meat and game
Before and after defrosting
Remove all packaging before defrost-
ing.
Exceptions: Leave bread and baked
goods in their packaging as otherwise
they will absorb moisture and become
soft.
Allow defrosted food to stand at room
temperature after removing it from the
oven. The standing time is necessary to
allow the even distribution of heat.
Cooking pan
Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Do not use the liquid from defrosted
meat or poultry. Dispose and wash
the container, the sink and your
hands.
Use a perforated container with a solid
container underneath it when defrosting
food which will drip, such as poultry.
This way food will not be lying in de-
frosted liquid.
Foods which don't drip can be de-
frosted in a solid cooking pan.
Tips
– Fish does not need to be fully de-
frosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning. De-
pending on the thickness of the fish,
2–5 minutes should be enough.
– When defrosting food which has
frozen together, e.g. berries, chops,
fish filets etc. separate it about half-
way through the defrosting time.
– Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
– Defrost frozen ready meals according
to the instructions on the packaging.

which is in good condition.
Glass jars
Use clean glass jars and accessories
and check them for any defects. Glass
jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a
rubber seal are suitable.
Make sure that all the glass jars are the
same size so that bottling is carried out
evenly.
After you have filled the jars with the
bottled produce, clean the glass rims
with a clean cloth and hot water and
then seal the jars.
Fruit
Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but
thoroughly and allow it to drain. Take
great care when cleaning soft fruit as it
is very delicate.
Remove any peel, stalks, cores or pits.
Cut up large fruit. For example, cut ap-
ples into slices.
If you are bottling fruit with pits (e.g.
plums, apricots) without removing the
pits, pierce the fruit several times with a
fork or wooden skewer as otherwise it
will burst.
Vegetables
Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.
Vegetables should be blanched before
bottling to help them retain their color
(see "Blanching").
Fill volume
Fill the glass jars with produce up to a
maximum of 1 1/4" (3 cm) below the
rim. Do not pack down as this would
damage the cell walls of the produce.
Bang the jar gently on a cloth to help
distribute the contents evenly.
Use a sugar solution for fruit and a salt
or vinegar solution for vegetables.
Tips
– Make use of residual heat by leaving
the jars in the oven for 30 minutes af-
ter it has switched off.
– Then cover the jars with a cloth and
allow to cool for approx. 24 hours.

Juicing
This appliance is ideal for extracting
juice from soft, firm and hard fruit.
It is best to use overripe fruit, as the
riper the fruit the greater the quantity of
juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also
produce a more intense flavor.
Preparation
Sort and rinse the fruit. Cut out any
blemishes.
Remove the stalks from grapes and
cherries as these are bitter. The stalks
do not need to be removed from
berries.
Cut larger fruit into chunks approx. 1" (2
cm) in size. The harder the fruit the
smaller the pieces should be.
Tips
– Try experimenting with mild and tart
flavors.
– The juice quantity and aroma are im-
proved if sugar is added to the fruit
and is allowed to soak in for several
hours. We recommend 1/4 - ½ cup
(50-100 g) sugar per 2 lbs (1 kg) of
sweet fruit and ½ - 3/4 cup (100-150
g) sugar for 2 lbs (1 kg) tangy fruit.
– If you wish to bottle the juice rather
than consume it straight away, while
still hot pour it into clean bottles and
seal immediately.
Method
Put the prepared fruit (cleaned,
washed, chopped etc.) into a perfo-
rated cooking pan.
Place a solid container or the univer-
sal tray underneath to catch the juice.

Menu Cooking
You can cook up to three different types
of food, e.g. fish with a side dish and
vegetables.
The food can be selected in any order
you like. The appliance will automati-
cally sort them out in order of cooking
duration required. The one with the
longest duration goes in the oven first.
The Ready at and Start at functions are
not available for "Menu Cooking."
Method
Turn the steam oven on.
Fill the water container and push it
back in so that it engages.
Then place the drip tray / universal
tray (depending on model) in the ap-
pliance.
Select Special Modes | Menu Cooking.

Making Yogurt
Always follow USDA guidelines on
food safety.
To make yogurt, you will need either
fresh live yogurt or yogurt culture, ob-
tainable from health food stores.
Use natural yogurt with live culture and
without additives. Do not use heat-
treated yogurt.
The yogurt must be fresh (short storage
time).
You can use either pasteurized or fresh
whole milk. Pasteurized milk can be
used without any further treatment.
Fresh milk must first be heated to
195°F / 90°C (not boiled!) and then
cooled down to 95°F / 35°C. Fresh
milk will give a firmer yogurt than long-
life milk.
The yogurt and milk should have the
same percentage fat.
Do not move or shake the jars while the
yogurt is thickening.
After preparing the yogurt, it must be
immediately placed in the refrigerator to
cool down.
The firmness, fat content and cultures
used in the yogurt starter all affect the
consistency of homemade yogurt. Not
all yogurts are equally suitable as yo-
gurt starters.
Possible causes for poor results
Yogurt is not set:
Incorrect storage of the yogurt starter,
too much time out of the refrigerator,
packaging was damaged, milk was in-
sufficiently heated.
Liquid has not been removed:
Jars were moved, yogurt was not
cooled down quickly enough.
Yogurt is grainy:
Milk was overheated or in poor condi-
tion, milk and starter yogurt not evenly
stirred.
Tip: When using yogurt enzyme, yogurt
can be made from a milk / cream mix-
ture. Mix³/₄liter/3 cups milk
with¹/₄liter/1 cup cream.
Special modes
98
Method
Mix ½ cup (100 g) yogurt with 4 cups
(1 liter) of milk or make up the mixture
with yogurt starter powder, following
the instructions on the packaging.
Pour the mixture into glass jars and
seal them.
Place the jars in a cooking pan. En-
sure that they do not touch one an-
other.
Immediately after the yogurt has been
made, place the jars in the refrigera-
tor, taking care not to move them un-
necessarily.

to 212° F / 100 °C and also steam resis-
tant follow manufacturers instructions.
Dismantle, clean and thoroughly rinse
baby bottles. Reassemble the bottles
only after they have completely dried.
This prevents recontamination.
Method
Place the individual parts in a perfo-
rated cooking pan, ensuring that they
do not touch one another (on their

Roast probe
107
How it works
The metal tip of the roast probe is in-
serted into the food. There is a temper-
ature sensor in the metal tip which mea-
sures the core temperature of the food
during cooking.
The core temperature set will depend
on how well cooked you want your
meat to be and on the type of meat.
The temperature can be set between 86
and 210°F / 30 and 99°C.
The cooking duration will depend on a
number of different factors. The higher
the temperature in the oven compart-
ment and the humidity, where applica-
ble and the thinner the meat, the
quicker the set core temperature will be
reached.
The cooking process will finish auto-
matically when the core temperature in
the meat reaches the value set for the
roast probe. Exception: In Combi Steam
mode or with user programs, another
cooking stage, e.g., browning the meat,
may be required.
Damage to roast probe by incorrect
use!
If you are not using the roast probe
remove it from the oven when cook-
ing.
It is only protected from overheating
when it is plugged in.
When to use the roast probe
The roast probe can be used in the fol-
lowing operating modes:
– Combi Steam|Convection Bake
– Combi Steam|Surround
– Convection Bake
– Convection Broil
– Surround
– Intensive
– Humidity Plus
– Steam Cooking
– Reheat
Roast probe
108
Important notes regarding the
roast probe
Risk of breakage!
Do not use the roast probe to lift or
carry the food.
The metal tip of the roast probe must
be fully inserted into the center of the
food.
Do not let the metal tip touch any
bones, and do not insert it into a partic-
ularly fatty area of the meat.
If the meat is very heavily marbled with
fat, select the highest core temperature
given in the roasting chart.
When using roasting bags, insert the
probe through the bag into the center of
the meat.
You can also place the meat, with the
roast probe inserted, inside the bag.
Follow the roasting bag manufacturer's
instructions.
If wrapping meat in aluminum foil, the
roast probe must be inserted through
the foil to the center of the meat.
Method
Prepare the food.
Insert the metal tip of the roast probe
fully into the food.
Place the food in the oven.
Open the connection socket for the
roast probe and insert the plug of the
roast probe into the socket until you
feel it engage.
Select the desired mode.
Alter the recommended and/or core
temperature if necessary.
After the cooking process
Burn hazard!
The roast probe can get hot.
Before taking the food out of the
oven, carefully remove the roast
probe plug from the connection
socket.
Roast probe
109
Tips
– If you are cooking several pieces of
meat together, the roast probe
should be inserted into the largest
piece of meat.
– If the food is not cooked sufficiently
when the core temperature is
reached, insert the roast probe into
another place or increase the core
temperature and repeat the program.
Roast
110
Always follow USDA guidelines on
food safety.
Roasting tips
Insert the grease filter in the back
panel when roasting.
Frozen meat must be defrosted be-
fore it is cooked as it would dry out.
Always defrost meat before roasting.
Remove skin and sinew before roast-
ing.
Season the meat to taste and dot
with butter, or in the case of game,
bard with rashers of streaky bacon.
Tip: Game can be marinated overnight
e.g. in buttermilk, to tenderize it.
If you are cooking several pieces of
meat together, select pieces that are
similar in size.
Roast meat on the rack above the
universal tray. The cooking liquids will
collect in the tray and can then be
used to make a gravy or sauce.
Allow a standing time of approx. 10
minutes after the end of cooking so
that the cooking liquids are evenly
distributed.
We recommend the Combi Steam|Con-
vection Bake and Combi Steam|Surround
modes for roasting.
If you wish to use other modes, you
can enter your cooking stages as a
user program (see "User programs").
Combi Steam
The lower the temperature in the oven
compartment, the longer the cooking
process and the more tender the result.
Lean meat
The addition of steam prevents the sur-
face of lean meat from drying out. Ex-
cellent results can be achieved when
using 5 cooking stages for the cooking
process
– Cooking stage1: the oven compart-
ment and the rack above the univer-
sal tray are pre-heated.
– Cooking stage2: the meat is
browned.
– Cooking stage3: adjust the tempera-
ture so that it is suitable for cooking
the meat so that it is tender.
– Cooking stage4: cook until tender.
– Cooking stage5: continue cooking to
the required level.
Roast
111
Fatty meat with crispy skin
– Cooking stage1: use a high tempera-
ture to render the fat and brown the
skin.
– Cooking stage2: reduce the temper-
ature and increase the moisture
– Cooking stage3: increase the tem-
perature for crispy skin.
Braised dishes
– Cooking stage1: preheat the oven
with the rack above the universal tray.
– Cooking stage2: the meat is
browned.
– Cooking stage3: braise the meat at a
temperature of 210°F / 100°C with
84% moisture.
Poultry
– Cooking stage 1: use a high temper-
ature and a high moisture level to
render the fat.
– Cooking stage2: lower the tempera-
ture.
– Cooking stage3: increase the tem-
perature and reduce humidity to dry
out and crisp the skin.

* In stage one please place the universal tray on shelf level 1 and the rack on shelf level 2
(except with rack of lamb where the rack is placed on the universal tray on shelf level 1)
without food on it and pre-heat the oven.
Place the meat on the pre-heated rack at the beginning of stage 2.
*** In stage one, place the universal tray on shelf level 2 without food on it and pre-heat the

Bake
117
Eating food which has been cooked
correctly is important for good
health.
Only bake cakes, pizza, french fries,
etc. until they are golden brown. Do
not overcook them.
Convection Bake
For baking on several levels at the same
time. The fan distributes the heat evenly
throughout the cavity for a consistent
baking temperature.
When using Surround, reduce the
temperatures given for Convection
Bake by about 20°F/20°C.
Surround
Heat is used from both the upper and
lower heating elements to create per-
fect results of all baking recipes.
Use only one shelf level for baking.
Place tray bakes on the middle shelf.
If using an older recipe or cookbook,
set the oven temperature 10°F/10°C
lower than that recommended. This
will not change cooking durations.
Browning
For a perfectly browned topping, for ex-
ample when making a gratin or brown-
ing the top of a casserole..
Bake
Use this at the end of the baking time to
brown the bottom of the food.
Humidity Plus
For creamed mixtures, choux pastry
and deep frozen pretzels.
Intensive Bake
For baking cakes with a moist topping,
e.g. cheese cake, fresh fruit cakes,
quiche and flans. Also suitable for items
such as pizza without the need to pre-
bake the base.
Bake on the lowest shelf level.
Combi Steam
The gleaming finish on bread, rolls and
puff pastry is achieved by adding steam
(maximum moisture, low temperature) in
cooking stage1. Browning is achieved
using a high moisture level and a high
temperature. The drying-out phase
takes place with low moisture and a
high temperature.
Bake
118
Baking tips
Grease filter
Remove the grease filter from the
back wall. Otherwise results can be
uneven.
Bakeware
Dark-colored bakeware is best for
baking. It conducts the heat more
swiftly to the mixture. Shiny metal
bakeware reflects heat so cakes take
longer to cook and do not brown
evenly.
Cakes baked in white tin bakeware re-
quire a longer baking duration.
Bake cakes in rectangular bakeware
with the longer side across the width
of the oven compartment for opti-
mum heat distribution and even re-
sults.
Universal tray
Because of its PerfectClean anti-stick
surface, the universal tray does not
need to be greased for baking.
Parchment paper
Parchment paper is only necessary
when baking:
– Anything with a high salt content (e.g.
pretzels, bread sticks), because
sodium can damage the PerfectClean
surface
– Meringues or dishes with a high egg
white content, because they are more
likely to stick
– Puff pastry
Frozen food
When baking deep frozen products
such as chips, croquettes, cakes,
pizza and baguettes, use the lowest
temperature quoted on the manufac-
turer's packaging.
Cook frozen goods such as cakes,
pizza or baguettes on a layer of bak-
ing parchment placed on the rack.
Baking large frozen items on the bak-
ing tray or the universal tray can
cause the metal to distort to such an
extent that the tray cannot be taken
out of the oven.
Small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes can
be cooked on the universal tray.
Place them on baking parchment and
turn several times during cooking.
Bake
119
Shelf level
When baking cakes with a moist top-
ping only bake on one level.
Use a maximum of two shelf levels at
once. If you want to bake on two
shelf levels at the same time, use the
bottom and middle level.
Notes regarding the baking
chart
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart.
Do not set a temperature higher than
that recommended. Increasing the
temperature may reduce the baking
duration, but will lead to uneven
browning, and unsatisfactory cooking
results.
Check if the food is cooked at the
end of the shortest duration quoted.
To check if a cake is ready, insert a
wooden skewer into the center. It is
ready if the skewer comes out clean,
without dough or crumbs sticking to
it.

Burn hazard!
The appliance door must remain shut
during broiling, as otherwise the con-
trols will get hot.
The roast probe cannot be used with
the Maxi Broil, Broil, and Combi Steam|
Maxi Broil modes.
Maxi Broil
This function gives excellent browning
and searing results. Use this function
for chops, ribs, large quantities of meat
and for browning large dishes.
Broil
This function is excellent for broiling or
searing small quantities. Use this func-
tion for chops, ribs, small quantities of
meat and for browning small dishes.
Convection Broil
For broiling thicker items, e.g. poultry or
roulades.
Broiling tips
Place the food on the rack on top of
universal tray.
When broiling fish, place the fish on a
piece of baking paper cut to size.
Place the food in the steam oven
without pre-heating. Pre-heating the
steam oven is not necessary when
broiling.
Broil thick items, e.g. half a chicken,
in the middle and thin items, e.g.
steak, on the top shelf level.
Turn the food after ²/₃ of the cooking
time has elapsed. Fish does not need
to be turned.
Broil
125
Tips
– Marinate or add a little oil if neces-
sary to lean meat. Do not use other
types of fat as they can burn and
cause smoke.
– Make diagonal cuts in sausage be-
fore broiling.
– It is best to broil food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that
the broiling time for each item does
not vary too greatly.
– To broil thicker pieces of food more
gradually after an initial high tempera-
ture, continue broiling at a lower tem-
perature setting or use a lower shelf
runner to allow the food to cook
through to the center.

Keeping Warm
Please note that delicate food, espe-

being kept warm.
– On
The "Keeping Warm" function is acti-
vated as standard with the Steam
Cooking mode if a minimum tempera-
ture of about 175°F / 80°C is used for
cooking. If food is not removed from
the steam oven at the end of a pro-
gram, this function will automatically
start after approx. 5 minutes. Keeping
Warm will appear in the display and
the food will be kept warm for ap-
prox. 15minutes at a temperature of
160°F / 70°C. The warming function
is canceled when the illuminated sen-
sor button is tapped or "Back" when
the door is opened.
– Off
The "Keeping Warm" function is de-
activated.
Automatic rinsing
Following a cooking program with
steam, Appliance Rinsing will appear in
the display after the steam oven has
been switched off.
Any remaining food deposits are
flushed out of the system.
You can activate or deactivate the auto-
matic rinsing process.
Steam reduction
– On
If you cook at a temperature from ap-
prox. 175°F / 80°C (Steam Cooking)
or 175-210°F / 80–100°C and a
100% humidity setting (Combi
Steam), the steam reduction function
switches on automatically at the end
of the cooking program. This reduces
the amount of steam which escapes
from the appliance when the door is
opened at the end of the cooking du-
ration. Steam Reduction will appear in
the display in addition to Program Fin-
ished.
– Off
If steam reduction is turned off the
Keeping Warm function is also auto-
matically turned off. If steam reduc-
tion is turned off a large amount of

Cleaning and care
136
Important information on
cleaning and care
Risk of injury!
The steam from a steam cleaner
could reach electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the steam oven.
All surfaces can become discolored
or damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. The front of the
oven, in particular, will be damaged
by oven cleaners.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass sur-
faces may cause a breakage.
Immediately remove any residues left
by cleaning agents.
Stubborn soiling could damage the
steam oven in certain circumstances.
Once the oven has cooled clean the
oven, the inside of the door and the
door seal. Waiting too long to clean
the oven will make if much more dif-
ficult to clean.
Do not use commercial cleaning
agents. Only use agents designed for
domestic use.
Do not use cleaning agents or liquid
dish soap containing aliphatic hydro-
carbons as these could cause the
seals to swell.
Allow the appliance to cool down to
a safe temperature before cleaning.
The appliance and accessories
should be cleaned and dried thor-
oughly after each use.
Leave the appliance door open until
the oven interior is completely dry.
If the appliance is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e.g.
while on vacation, it should be thor-
oughly cleaned and dried beforehand
to prevent the build-up of odors, etc.
Leave the door open afterwards.
Cleaning and care
137
To better maintain your appli-
ance avoid the following:
To avoid damaging surfaces when
cleaning, do not use:
– Cleaners containing soda, ammonia,
thinners, or chlorides
– Descaling agents
– Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g., pow-
der or cream cleansers, pumice
stones)
– Solvent-based cleaners
– Stainless steel cleaners
– Dishwasher cleaners
– Ceramic cooktop cleaners
– Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(e.g. pot scrubbers or scrub sponges,
sponges which have previously been
used with abrasive cleaning agents)
– Eraser sponges
– Sharp metal scrapers
– Steel wool
– Stainless steel spiral pads
– Spot cleaners
– Oven sprays
Glass cleaners may be used to clean
the exterior. However do not allow
them to sit or "puddle", this can cause
damage to the surface. Remove the
cleaner promptly.
Appliance front
Clean the front with a solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap ap-
plied with a clean sponge or cloth. A
clean, damp microfiber cloth without
cleaning agent can also be used.
After cleaning dry the front of the ap-
pliance with a soft cloth.
Cleaning and care
138
PerfectClean
The surfaces of the oven compartment
and shelf runners have been treated
with PerfectClean enamel. This finish
has an iridescent appearance. Perfect-
Clean surfaces have very good non-
stick properties and are easy to clean.
However, it is very important to clean
the surfaces each time the oven is
used.
The surface will become harder to clean
and the non-stick properties will deteri-
orate if soiling is not removed after each
use and allowed to build up.
Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures are best removed while the
oven or tray is still warm. Exercise cau-
tion, make sure the oven is not hot.
Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting dis-
coloration of the surfaces. This discol-
oration is permanent but will not affect
the efficiency of the surface.
Remove residual cleaning agent after
cleaning. If left it will reduce the non-
stick properties of the PerfectClean
surfaces.
To protect the non-stick effect of
PerfectClean surfaces, please avoid:
– Abrasive cleaning agents, such as
scouring powder, scouring cream,
pumice pits
– Ceramic cooktop cleaners
– Ceramic and stainless steel cleaner
– Steel wool
– Abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been previ-
ously used with abrasive cleaning
agents
– Oven sprays
– Cleaning in the dishwasher
– Spot cleaners
Cleaning and care
139
Do not use oven spray.
Oven interior
The surface of the oven compart-
ment has been treated with Perfect-
Clean.
Please refer to the section on "Per-
fectClean" for information on clean-
ing and care.
The oven door (see "Door") and the side
runners (see "Side runners") can be re-
moved to make it easier to clean the
oven interior.
After a program using steam
Remove:
– Condensate using a sponge or ab-
sorbent cloth
– Light, greasy soiling with a sponge
and a solution of liquid dish soap and
hot water
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
to remove any detergent residues.
Then dry the oven interior and the in-
side of the door with a cloth.
Tip: You can then leave the oven to dry
automatically (see "Cleaning and care -
Drying").
After a roasting, broiling or baking
program
Clean the oven compartment thor-
oughly after roasting and baking as
otherwise soiling can burn on and
become impossible to remove.
Remove light soiling from the oven
compartment and the inside of the
door using a soft clean sponge and a
mild solution of warm water and liq-
uid dish soap. If necessary, the pad
on the reverse of the sponge can be
used to clean the oven compartment.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
to remove any detergent residues.
Then dry the oven interior and the in-
side of the door with a cloth.
Tip: Soaking the soiling for a few min-
utes with a solution of washing-up liq-
uid and hot water can make cleaning
easier. Alternatively run the Maintenance
| Soak program (see "Maintenance -
Soak").
Cleaning and care

remove any residual cleaning agent.
Door gasket
Grease deposits on the seal between
the inside of the oven door and the
oven interior can cause it to become
brittle and cracked.
Clean the door seal after every bak-
ing or roasting program using a clean,
damp microfiber cloth or a soft clean
sponge and a mild solution of warm
water and liquid dish soap.
After cleaning, dry the seal with a soft
cloth.

Descaling
We recommend that you use Miele
Descaling Tablets (see "Optional ac-
cessories") for descaling the appli-
ance. They have been specifically de-
signed for optimal descaling of Miele
products. Other descaling agents,
which - in addition to citric acid - may
contain other acids and/or other unde-
sirable substances such as chlorides,
might damage the product. Also, the
desired effect cannot be guaranteed if
the descaling solution does not have
the required concentration.
Descaling solution is acidic.
Do not spill descaling agent onto
metal surfaces. This can cause
marks to appear.
However, should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, wipe
it away immediately.
The steam oven needs to be descaled
after a certain number of operating
hours. When the steam oven needs to
be descaled, a number will appear in
the display indicating the number of
cooking processes remaining before the
appliance locks out. Only cooking pro-
cesses using steam are counted. After
the last remaining steam cooking
process, the appliance will lock out.
We recommend that you descale the
appliance before it locks out.
During the descaling process, the water
container must be rinsed out and re-
filled with fresh water and the conden-
sate container must be emptied.
Turn the steam oven off and select
Maintenance|Descale.

quency) match the mains elec-
tricity supply.
This data must correspond in or-
der to avoid the risk of damage
to the appliance. Consult a quali-
fied electrician if in any doubt.
Do not use an extension cord
to connect this appliance to elec-
tricity. Extension cords do not
guarantee the required safety of
the appliance.
The electrical outlet should be
easily accessible after the appli-
ance has been installed.
The appliance must be posi-
tioned so that you can see the
contents of a cooking pan
placed on the top level Other-
wise you may risk scalding or
burning yourself with hot water
and food when taking containers
out of the oven.
Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician. To
guarantee the electrical safety of
this appliance, continuity must
exist between the appliance and
an effective grounding system. It
is imperative that this basic
safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the elec-
trical system of the house
checked by a qualified electri-
cian.

sponsible. Installation, repair, and
maintenance work should only be
performed by a Miele-authorized ser-
vice technician. Work by unqualified
persons can cause considerable
danger to users. Miele cannot be
held liable for any damage arising as
a result of such work.

substances that were essential for the
proper functioning and safe use of the
equipment. Handling these materials
improperly or disposing of them in your
household waste can be harmful to your
health and the environment. Therefore,
please do not dispose of your old appli-
ance with regular household waste.
Old appliances may contain materials
that can be recycled. Please contact
