Warning and Safety instructions

This steam oven complies with all applicable safety requirements.

Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and mater-

ial damage.

Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before us-

ing the steam oven. They contain important information on safety,

installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal in-

jury and damage to the steam oven.

In accordance with standard IEC/EN60335-1, Miele expressly and

strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the

chapter on installing the steam oven as well as the safety instruc-

tions and warnings.

Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-

compliance with these instructions.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any

future owner.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application

 This steam oven is intended for use in domestic households and

similar working and residential environments.

 This steam oven is not intended for outdoor use.

 The steam oven is intended for domestic use only to steam-cook,

defrost and reheat food.

All other types of use are not permitted.

 The steam oven can only be used by people with reduced phys-

ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and know-

ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how

to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the con-

sequences of incorrect operation.

 This steam oven is supplied with a special lamp to cope with par-

ticular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,

abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be

used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room

lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised

person or by Miele Service.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

 Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on

the steam oven inadvertently.

 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the steam

oven unless they are constantly supervised.

 Children aged 8 and older may only use the steam oven without

supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.

Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible

dangers caused by incorrect operation.

 Children must not be allowed to clean the steam oven unsuper-

vised.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do

not let them play with it.

 Risk of suffocation due to packaging material. Whilst playing, chil-

dren may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic

wrapping) or pull it over their head, presenting the risk of suffocation.

Keep packaging material away from children.

 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. Children’s skin is

far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. During

operation, steam will escape out of the ventilation outlet. The door

glass and control panel of the steam oven heats up.

Do not let children touch the steam oven when it is in operation.

Keep children well away from the steam oven until it has cooled

down and there is no danger of injury.

 Risk of injury from the open door.

The oven door can support a maximum weight of 8kg. Children

could injure themselves on an open door.

Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause

considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-

pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

 Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check

it for visible signs of damage before using it.

 Reliable and safe operation of this steam oven can only be as-

sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed

when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety re-

quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-

tion tested 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 connect the steam oven to the mains electricity supply by

a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee

the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard).

 For safety reasons, this steam oven may only be used when it has

been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical compon-

ents are shielded.

 This steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location

(e.g. on a ship).

 Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical

connections or components and mechanical parts is highly danger-

ous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions

 While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-

dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the

warranty is invalidated.

 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-

ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components

must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

 If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is

supplied without a plug, the appliance must be connected to the

electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.

 If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a

special connection cable (see “Electrical connection”).

 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance

must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

 If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture front (e.g. a door),

do not close the furniture front while the steam oven is in use. Heat

and moisture can build up behind the furniture front when closed.

This can result in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and

the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the steam oven has

cooled down completely.

 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or

other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and

its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cock-

roaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven

gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the oven com-

partment, side runners, accessories, food or steam.

Wear oven gloves when placing hot food in the oven or removing it

and when adjusting oven shelves, for example, in a hot oven com-

partment.

 Risk of injury caused by hot food.

Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or re-

moving it. The food can cause burns.

When placing cooking containers into the oven or removing them,

make sure that the hot food does not spill.

 Risk of injury caused by hot water.

At the end of a cooking programme, hot water left in the steam gen-

erator is pumped back into the water container. Take care not to tip

the water container when taking it out of the appliance.

 Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed jars

and tins.

Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing

damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.

 Plastic dishes which are not heat and steam-resistant melt at high

temperatures and can damage the appliance.

Use only heat-resistant (to 100°C) and steam-resistant plastic

dishes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

 Food which is stored in the oven compartment can dry out and

the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam

oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use

any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.

 Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open

door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

Warning and Safety instructions

 The door can support a maximum weight of 8kg. Do not sit on or

lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.

Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and

the oven cavity. The steam oven could get damaged.

 When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,

near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the ap-

pliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation

on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock

hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

 Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam

cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause

a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

 Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Do

not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal

tools to clean the door glass.

 The side runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care –

Cleaning the side runners”).

Refit the side runners correctly.

 Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids

containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to

avoid corrosion to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet.

Accessories

 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with

this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-

facturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liabil-

ity.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

The packaging is designed to protect

the appliance from damage during

transportation. The packaging materials

used are selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the

use of raw materials in the manufactur-

ing process and also reduces the

amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appli-

ance

Electrical and electronic appliances of-

ten contain valuable materials. They

also contain specific materials, com-

pounds and components, which were

essential for their correct function and

safety. These could be hazardous to hu-

man health and to the environment if

disposed of with your domestic waste

or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,

therefore, dispose of your old appliance

with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local com-

munity waste collection / recycling

centre for electrical and electronic ap-

pliances, or contact your dealer or

Miele for advice. You are also respons-

ible for deleting any personal data that

may be stored on the appliance being

disposed of. Please ensure that your

old appliance poses no risk to children

while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of functions

Water container

The maximum filling volume is 1.5litres

and the minimum is 0.5litres. There are

markings on the water container. The

upper marking must never be ex-

ceeded.

Water consumption depends on the

type of food and the duration of cook-

ing. The water may need to be topped

up during cooking. Water consumption

is increased if the door is opened dur-

ing cooking.

The water container is removed using a

push/pull system: push gently on the

water container to remove it.

At the end of a cooking programme, hot

water left in the steam generator is

pumped back into the water container.

The water container must be emptied

after each use involving steam.

Condensate tray

Place the condensate tray on shelf level

1 when using perforated containers.

This collects any drops of liquid and al-

lows these to be removed easily.

You can also use the condensate tray

as a cooking container if necessary.

Temperature

Some functions have a pre-set recom-

mended temperature. This temperature

can be altered for a single programme,

a specific programme stage or within

the given range for a programme. You

can alter the recommended temperat-

ure in 5°C increments, or 1°C incre-

ments in sous-vide cooking (see “Set-

tings – Recommended temperatures”).

Cooking duration

You can set the cooking duration from

1minute (00:01) to 10hours (10:00). If

the cooking duration exceeds

59minutes you have to enter it in hours

and minutes. Example: Cooking dura-

tion 80minutes = 1:20.

During steam cooking, the cooking dur-

ation does not begin until the set tem-

perature is reached.

Noises

You will hear a pumping sound when

the appliance is switched on, during

use and after switching 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

Heating-up phase

While the steam oven is being heated

up to the set temperature, the display

will show Heating-up and the rising oven

compartment temperature.

When cooking with steam, the duration

of the heating-up phase will depend on

the quantity and the temperature of the

food. In general the heating-up phase

will last for approx.7minutes. The dur-

ation will be longer if you are cooking

refrigerated or frozen food. The heating-

up phase may also last longer if cook-

ing temperatures are low or if you are

using the Sous-vide cooking func-

tion.

Cooking phase

The cooking phase begins when the set

temperature is reached. During the

cooking phase, the duration remaining

will be shown in the display.

Steam reduction

If you are cooking at a temperature of

approx. 80°C or above, the steam oven

door will automatically open a little

shortly before the end of the cooking

time to allow some of the steam to es-

cape. Steam reductionwill appear on the

display. The door closes again automat-

ically.

Steam reduction can be switched off

(see “Settings – Steam reduction”). With

steam reduction switched off, a lot of

steam will escape when the door is

opened.

Oven interior lighting

For energy-saving reasons, the oven in-

terior lighting has been set at the fact-

ory to go out after the programme has

begun.

If you want it to stay on all the time the

oven is on, you will need to alter the de-

fault setting (see “Settings – Lighting”).

If the door is left open at the end of a

cooking programme, the oven interior

lighting will switch off automatically

after 5minutes.

The lighting can be switched on for

15seconds by touching the button

on the control panel.

Before using for the first time

Miele@home

Your steam oven is equipped with an

integrated WiFi module.

In order to use it, you will need:

- a WiFi network,

- the Miele@mobile app, and

- a Miele user account, which can be

created from the Miele@mobile app.

The Miele@mobile app will guide you as

you connect your steam oven to your

home WiFi network.

Once your steam oven is connected to

your WiFi network, you can use the app

for a number of actions, including the

following:

- Getting information on the operating

status of your steam oven

- Retrieving information on your steam

oven’s current cooking programmes

- Stopping cooking programmes that

are in progress

Connecting your steam oven to your

WiFi network will increase energy con-

sumption, even when the steam oven is

switched off.

Make sure that the signal of your

WiFi network is sufficiently strong in

the place where your steam oven is

installed.

Availability of the WiFi connection

The WiFi connection shares a frequency

range with other appliances (including

microwave ovens and remote control

toys). This can give rise to sporadic or

even complete connection failures.

Therefore, the availability of featured

functions cannot be guaranteed.

Miele@home availability

The ability to use the Miele@mobile app

depends on the availability of the

Miele@home service in your country.

The Miele@home service is not avail-

able in every country.

For information about availability,

please visit www.miele.com.

Miele@mobile App

The Miele@mobile App is available to

download free of charge from the Apple

App Store

or from the Google Play

Store™.

Before using for the first time

Basic settings

The following settings must be made

before starting up for the first time. You

can change these settings again at a

 Risk of injury caused by hot sur-

faces.

The steam oven gets hot during op-

eration.

For safety reasons, the steam oven

may only be used when it has been

fully installed.

The steam oven will switch on auto-

matically when it is connected to the

electricity supply.

Before using for the first time

Set the correct boiling point for

water

Before cooking food for the first time,

you must adjust the steam oven to the

boiling temperature of the water, which

varies depending on the altitude of

where the steam oven is located. This

process also flushes out the compon-

ents of the appliance that carry water.

This procedure must be carried out

to ensure trouble-free functioning of

your appliance.

Distilled water, carbonated water and

other liquids may damage the steam

oven.

Only use cold, fresh tap water (be-

low 20°C).

 Remove the water container and fill it

up to the maximum marker.

 Push the water container into the ap-

pliance.

 Then run the steam oven for

15minutes using the Steam cook-

ing function (100°C). Proceed as

described in “Operation”.

Setting the correct boiling point for

water following a house move

If you move house, the appliance will

need to be re-set for the new altitude if

this differs from the old one by 300m or

more. To do this, descale the appliance

(see “Cleaning and care – Descaling the

steam oven”).

eral water, make sure it is not carbon-

ated. Adjust this setting depending on

the calcium content. The calcium con-

tent is specified on the label of the

bottle in mg/lCa

or ppm (mgCa

General notes

This section contains general informa-

tion. You will find more detailed inform-

ation 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 colour.

Suitable containers

Cooking containers

This steam oven is supplied with stain-

less steel cooking containers. Other

containers, in a variety of sizes, both

perforated and solid, are available as

optional extras (see “Optional accessor-

ies”). This enables you to choose the

most suitable container for the food you

are cooking.

It is best to use perforated containers

for steam cooking. The steam can

reach the food from all sides and the

food is cooked evenly.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers.

However, please note the following:

- Containers must be heat-resistant to

100°C and able to withstand steam.

With plastic containers please check

with the manufacturer that they are

suitable for use in a steam oven.

- Thick-sided containers such as por-

celain, ceramic, or stoneware are not

very suitable for using with steam.

Due to their thick sides, they do not

conduct heat well and as a result

cooking durations will be consider-

ably longer than those given in the

tables.

- Place the cooking container on the

rack or in a suitable container, 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.

Condensate tray

Place the condensate tray on shelf level

1 when using perforated containers.

This collects any drops of liquid and al-

lows these to be removed easily.

You can also use the condensate tray

as a cooking container if necessary.

General notes

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 dur-

ation.

When using more than one deep con-

tainer at the same time for steam cook-

ing, it is best to offset them on their run-

ners and to leave at least one level free

in between them.

Always insert cooking containers 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 heating up phase.

Temperature

During steam cooking, the temperature

does not exceed 100°C. Almost all

foods can be cooked at this temperat-

ure. Some types of food, such as ber-

ries, need to be cooked at lower tem-

peratures to prevent them from burst-

ing. See the relevant sections in these

operating instructions for more details.

Cooking duration

During steam cooking, the cooking dur-

ation does not begin until the set tem-

perature is reached.

In general, the cooking durations for

cooking with steam are the same as for

cooking food in a saucepan. More in-

formation about any factors which may

affect the cooking duration is given in

the relevant sections.

The quantity of food does not affect the

cooking duration. 1kg of potatoes will

take the same time to cook as 500g.

Cooking with liquid

When cooking with liquid only fill the

cooking container ²/₃full to prevent the

liquid spilling when the cooking con-

tainer is removed from the oven.

Your own recipes

Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan

can also be cooked in the steam oven.

The cooking durations in the steam

oven will be the same. Please note that

food will not be brown or crisp when

cooking with steam.

Steam cooking

Eco Steam cooking

You can use the Eco Steam cooking func-

tion to save energy during steam cook-

ing. This function is suitable mainly for

cooking fish and vegetables.

We recommend following the cooking

durations and temperatures from the

tables specified in “Steam cooking”.

You can cook for longer if necessary.

When cooking starchy foods such as

potatoes, rice and pasta, the best

function to use is Steam cooking .

Settings

Further | Eco Steam cooking

Notes on the cooking tables

Follow the instructions on cooking dur-

ations, temperatures and cooking

notes.

Selecting the cooking duration

The cooking durations given are

guidelines only.

 We recommend selecting the shorter

duration initially. You can cook for

longer if necessary.

Steam cooking

Vegetables

Fresh

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 they have

been frozen together in a block.

Frozen and fresh vegetables which take

the same length of time to cook can be

cooked together.

If vegetables have frozen together in

clumps, break these up before cooking

with steam. Follow the manufacturer’s

instructions on the packaging regarding

cooking duration.

Cooking containers

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 3-5cm

deep. When cooking large quantities di-

vide 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.

Use solid containers for vegetables

which are cooked in liquid.

Shelf level

To avoid any colour transfer when cook-

ing vegetables with a distinctive colour

(e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container,

do not place other food underneath the

perforated container.

Cooking duration

The cooking duration depends on the

size of the food and how well cooked

you want it, just as it does with conven-

tional cooking methods. Example:

Waxy potatoes, cut into quarters:

approx. 17minutes

Waxy potatoes, cut in half:

approx. 20minutes

Steam cooking

Fish

Fresh

Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.

clean, gut and fillet.

Frozen food

Fish does not need to be fully defrosted

before cooking. Defrost so that the sur-

face is sufficiently thawed to take herbs

and seasoning. Depending on the thick-

ness of the fish, 2 - 5 minutes should be

enough.

Preparation

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 with

salt when cooking with steam as this

method retains the minerals which give

the fish its unique flavour.

Cooking containers

If using a perforated container, 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 glass or collecting tray (de-

pending on the model) to catch any li-

quid and so avoid any transfer of fla-

vours to other food.

Temperature

85°C – 90°C

For gently cooking delicate types of

fish, such as sole.

100°C

For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.

cod and salmon.

Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on the

thickness and the texture of the fish,

and not on the weight. The thicker the

fish, the longer the cooking duration. A

3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g

will take longer to cook than a 2 cm

thick piece of fish weighing 500 g.

The longer fish cooks, the firmer its

flesh will become. Use the cooking dur-

ations 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

minutes.

Steam cooking

Tips

- Adding herbs and spices, such as

dill, will help bring out the full flavour

of the fish.

- Cook large fish in swimming position.

To help maintain the shape of the

fish, place a small cup or similar up-

side down in the cooking container,

and arrange the fish belly-side 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 container and add cold

water. Cook at 100°C for 60 to

90minutes. The longer the cooking

duration, the stronger the stock.

- Preparing fish au bleu is a method in-

volving cooking the fish in water with

vinegar, at different proportions de-

pending on the recipe. It is important

not to damage the skin of the fish.

This method is suitable for cooking

carp, trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Steam cooking

Meat

Fresh

Prepare the meat in the usual way.

Frozen food

Meat should be thoroughly defrosted

before cooking in the steam oven (see

“Special applications” – “Defrost”).

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 hob first.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on the

thickness and the texture of the meat,

and not on the weight. The thicker the

piece of meat, the longer the cooking

duration. A piece of meat weighing

500g which is 10 cm thick will take

longer to cook than a piece of meat

weighing 500g which is 5 cm thick.

Tips

- To retain the flavourings, use a per-

forated cooking container. Place an

unperforated cooking container un-

derneath in order to collect the con-

centrate. You can use the concentrate

to enhance your sauces or freeze it

for later use.

- Boiling fowl, back or top rib and meat

bones can be used to make stock.

Place the meat together with the

bones and some mixed vegetables in

a cooking container and add cold

water. The longer the cooking dura-

tion, the stronger the stock.

Steam cooking

Menu cooking (cooking whole

meals)

Before cooking meals with the

manual menu cooking function,

switch off steam reduction (see “Set-

tings – Steam reduction”).

When cooking a menu, you can com-

bine different foods with different cook-

ing durations, e.g. fish fillet with rice

and broccoli.

The food is placed in the steam oven

compartment at different times so that

each item is ready at the same time.

Shelf level

Place foods that produce a lot of liquids

(e.g. fish) or have a distinctive colour

(e.g. beetroot) directly above the glass

tray or condensate tray (depending on

the model). This avoids any transfer of

flavour or colour to other food and pre-

vents liquid dripping onto food below it.

Temperature

Whole meals should be cooked at a

temperature of 100°C as this is the

temperature required to cook the major-

ity of foods.

Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest

temperature when different temperat-

ures are required for different types of

food, e.g. 85°C for seabream and

100°C for potatoes.

If the recommended cooking temperat-

ure for the food is 85°C for example, try

cooking it at 100°C and testing the res-

ult. Some delicate types of fish with a

soft structure, e.g. sole and plaice will

become very firm when cooked at

100°C.

Duration

If you are increasing the recommended

temperature, shorten the cooking dura-

tion by approx. ¹/₃.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

With this gentle cooking method, food

is cooked slowly and at a low, constant

temperature in vacuum packaging.

With vacuum cooking, no moisture

evaporates during cooking and all nutri-

ents and flavours are retained.

The cooking result has an intensive

taste and food is cooked evenly.

Use only fresh food which is in a

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-resist-

ant vacuum sealing bags.

Do not cook food in the sales pack-

aging, such as vacuum-packed

frozen food as it is possible that the

packaging used is not suitable for

vacuum cooking.

Do not use the vacuum sealing bag

more than once.

Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber

system vacuum sealer only.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Important usage notes

For best cooking results, follow the in-

structions below:

- Use herbs and spices more sparingly

than with conventional methods be-

cause the impact on the taste of the

food will be stronger.

You can also cook the food un-

seasoned and add seasoning after

cooking.

- The cooking duration is reduced

when salt, sugar and liquids are ad-

ded.

- The food becomes firmer if acidic in-

gredients such as lemon or vinegar

are added.

- Do not use alcohol or garlic as this

can produce unpleasant flavours.

- Only use vacuum sealing bags that

match the size of the food. If the va-

cuum sealing bag is too big, too

much air can remain inside.

- If you want to cook several items of

food in one vacuum sealing bag, put

them side-by-side in the bag.

- If you want to cook food in several

vacuum sealing bags at once, put the

bags side-by-side on the rack.

- The cooking durations depend on the

thickness of the food.

- With higher temperatures and/or

longer cooking durations, the appli-

ance may run low on water. Check

the display from time to time.

- Keep the door closed during the

cooking programme. Opening the

door will prolong the cooking pro-

gramme and can change the cooking

result.

- Cooking at a lower temperature and

for a longer duration can result in in-

creased residual water in the cooking

compartment. This does not affect

the cooking results.

- Temperatures and cooking durations

from sous-vide recipes cannot al-

ways be emulated exactly. Alter the

settings to achieve the degree of

cooking you want.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Tips

- In order to reduce cooking times, you

can vacuum-seal food items 1–2

days before the cooking programme.

Store the vacuum-sealed food in the

refrigerator at no more than 5°C. In

order to preserve quality and flavour,

the food should be cooked no later

than 2 days afterwards.

- Freeze liquids such as marinades be-

fore vacuum-sealing to prevent them

from escaping from the bag.

- Fold the edges of the vacuum sealing

bag outwards for filling. This will give

you clean, perfect seams.

- If you do not want to eat the food

straight after cooking, put it in iced

water immediately and allow it to cool

down completely. After this, store the

food at temperatures no greater than

5°C.

This way, you can retain the food’s

quality and flavour while keeping it

fresh for longer.

Exception: Poultry must be eaten

straight after the cooking programme.

- After cooking, cut the vacuum sealing

bag on all sides for easier access to

the food.

- Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish

(such as salmon) before serving for a

roasted aroma.

- Use the stock or marinade of veget-

ables, fish or meat to make a sauce.

- Serve the food on pre-warmed

plates.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Using the Sous-vide function

 Rinse the food with cold water and

dry it.

 Place the food in a vacuum sealing

bag and add spices or liquid if de-

sired.

 Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber

system vacuum sealer.

 Place the condensate tray on shelf

level 1.

 For the best cooking results, place

the rack on shelf level 2.

 Place the vacuum-sealed food on the

rack (next to each other if there are

several bags).

 Select Sous-vide.

 Change the recommended temperat-

ure if necessary.

 Confirm with OK.

 Set further settings as necessary (see

“Operation”).

Possible reasons for unsatis-

factory results

The bag has opened:

- The seal was not clean or strong

enough and has opened.

- The bag was damaged by a sharp

bone.

The food has an unpleasant or strange

taste:

- Incorrect storage of the food; the

food was kept out of the refrigerator

for too long.

- The food was contaminated with

bacteria before it was vacuum

sealed.

- Too much of ingredients such as

spices was added.

- The bag or seal was not in perfect or-

der.

- The vacuum was insufficient.

- The food was not eaten or chilled im-

mediately after cooking.

Reheating

Only reheat brassicas, such as kohlrabi

and cauliflower, in combination with a

sauce. Without sauce, an unpleasant

cabbage-like taste and grey-brown col-

our may develop.

Food with a short cooking duration or

which continues cooking during re-

heating, such as fish, is not suitable

for reheating.

Preparation

Place the cooked food into ice water for

approx. 1hour directly after cooking.

The rapid cooling prevents the food

from continuing to cook, which helps

retain the optimum cooked condition.

Then store the food in the refrigerator at

a maximum temperature of 5°C.

Please note that the quality of the

food decreases the longer it is

stored.

We recommend that you do not store

the food in the refrigerator for longer

than 5days before reheating.

Durations apply to vacuum-sealed food with an initial temperature of approx. 5°C (refrigerator

temperature).

Reheat only in sauce.

Further applications

Reheat

To reheat food which was cooked us-

ing the sous-vide method, use the

Sous-vide function (see “Sous-vide

– Reheating”).

The steam oven is very effective at re-

heating food gently, without drying it

out or cooking it further. The food will

reheat 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 container.

Time

The number of plates or containers has

no bearing on the time.

The times listed in the table relate to an

average portion per plate. Increase the

duration for larger quantities.

Tips

- Do not reheat large items, such as a

joint of roast meat, whole. Divide it

into portions and reheat these as

plated meals.

- Compact items, such as stuffed pep-

pers, roulades or dumplings, should

be cut in half.

- Reheat sauces separately. Exceptions

are dishes such as goulash, which is

cooked in sauce.

- Cover food when reheating it to avoid

steam condensing on the crockery.

- Please note that breaded items, such

as schnitzel, will not retain their crisp-

ness when they are reheated.

Heating food

 Cover the food being warmed up with

a plate or foil that is resistant to tem-

peratures up to 100°C and to steam.

 Place the food on the rack or in a

cooking container.

Defrost

It is much quicker to defrost food in the

steam oven than at room temperature.

 Risk of infection from bacteria.

Bacteria such as salmonella can

cause life-threatening food poison-

ing.

It is particularly important to observe

food hygiene rules when defrosting

fish and meat, and in particular when

defrosting poultry.

Do not use the liquid produced dur-

ing defrosting.

Process the food as required as soon

as it has been defrosted.

Temperature

60 °C is the best temperature for de-

frosting.

Exception: 50 °C for minced meat and

game

Before and after defrosting

Remove any packaging before defrost-

ing.

Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and

cakes in their packaging as otherwise

they will absorb moisture and become

soft.

Allow food to stand at room temperat-

ure for a few minutes after defrosting.

The standing time is necessary to allow

the even distribution of heat from the

outside to the inside.

Cooking containers

Use a perforated container with a glass

or condensate tray underneath it when

defrosting food which will drip, such as

poultry. This way food will not be lying

in defrosted liquid.

Food which does not drip can be de-

frosted in a solid container.

Tips

- Fish, for instance, does not need to

be fully defrosted before cooking. De-

frost so that the surface is sufficiently

thawed to take herbs and seasoning.

Depending on the thickness of the

fish, 2–5 minutes is generally enough.

- When defrosting food which has

frozen together, e.g. berries and meat

portions, separate them half-way

through the defrosting time.

- Do not refreeze food once it has

thawed.

- Defrost frozen pre-cooked meals ac-

cording to the instructions on the

packaging.

Blanching

Blanch vegetables before freezing

them. Blanching helps maintain the

quality of the produce when it is frozen.

Blanching vegetables also helps them

retain their original colour.

Bottling

Only use unblemished, fresh produce

which is in good condition for bottling.

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 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 and squashes easily.

Remove any peel, stalks, cores or

stones. Cut up large fruit. For example,

cut apples into slices.

If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g.

plums, apricots) without removing the

stones, pierce the fruit several times

with a fork or wooden skewer as other-

wise it will burst.

Further applications

Vegetables

Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.

Vegetables should be blanched before

bottling to help them retain their colour

(see “Special applications” – “Blanch-

ing”).

Fill volume

Fill the glass jars with produce up to a

maximum of 3cm below the rim. Do

not pack it down as this will damage

the cell walls of the produce. Tap the jar

gently onto a cloth to help distribute the

contents evenly. Fill the jars with liquid.

The produce must be completely

covered.

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

after it has switched off.

- Then cover the jars with a cloth and

allow to cool for approx. 24 hours.

Further applications

Make yoghurt

To make yoghurt, you will need either

fresh live yoghurt or yoghurt culture,

obtainable from health food shops.

Use natural yoghurt with live culture and

without additives. Heat-treated yoghurt

is not suitable.

The yoghurt must be fresh (short stor-

age time).

You can use either unchilled long-life

milk or fresh milk.

Long-life milk can be used as it is – no

further preparation is required. Fresh

milk must first be heated to 90°C (do

not boil it) and then cooled down to

35°C. Fresh milk will give a better set

than long-life milk.

The yoghurt and milk should have the

same percentage fat.

Do not move or shake the jars whilst

the yoghurt is thickening.

Immediately after preparation, leave the

yoghurt to cool in the fridge.

How well home-prepared yoghurt sets

will depend on the consistency, fat con-

tent and the cultures used in the starter

yogurt. Not all yoghurts are suitable for

use as starter yoghurt.

Tip: When using yoghurt enzyme,

yoghurt can be made from a milk /

cream mixture. Mix³/₄litre milk

with¹/₄litre cream.

 Mix 100g yoghurt with 1l milk or

make up the mixture with yoghurt en-

zyme, following the instructions on

the packaging.

 Pour the mixture into jars and seal the

jars.

 Place the sealed jars into a perforated

cooking container or on the rack. The

jars must not touch each other.

 Straight after the cooking duration

has finished, place the jars in the re-

frigerator. Take care not to shake the

jars unnecessarily.

Possible reasons for unsatisfactory

results

Yoghurt has not set:

Incorrect storage of starter yoghurt, too

much time out of the refrigerator, e.g. in

transportation, damaged packaging,

milk not sufficiently heated.

Liquid has separated:

The jars were moved, yoghurt was not

cooled down quickly enough.

Yoghurt is gritty:

Milk was overheated or in poor condi-

tion, milk and starter yoghurt not evenly

stirred.

Further applications

Extracting juice with steam

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 flavour.

Preparation

Sort and clean the fruit. Cut out any

blemishes.

Remove the stalks from grapes and

morello cherries as these are bitter. Ber-

ries do not need to have their stalks re-

moved.

Cut larger fruit such as apples into

chunks of approximately 2cm in size.

The harder the fruit, the smaller the

pieces should be.

Tips

- Try experimenting with mild and tart

fruit.

- Adding sugar will increase the quant-

ity of juice produced and improve the

flavour. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar

and leave to absorb for a few hours

before juicing. For 1kg of sweet fruit

add 50–100g of sugar, and for 1kg

of tart fruit add 100–150g of sugar.

- If you wish to bottle the juice rather

than consume it straight away, pour it

whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles,

and then seal immediately with steril-

ised tops.

Extracting juice from fruit

 Put the prepared fruit into a perfor-

ated cooking container.

 Place a solid container or a glass or

condensate tray (depending on the

model) underneath to catch the juice.

Skinning vegetables and fruit

 Cut a cross in the top of tomatoes,

nectarines, etc. This will allow the

skin to be removed more easily.

 Place the fruit/vegetables in a perfor-

ated cooking container.

 To blanch almonds, it is important to

plunge them into cold water as soon

as they are taken out of the oven,

otherwise the skin cannot be re-

moved.

Apple storage

You can treat homegrown apples in the

steam oven to increase the length of

time for which you can store them.

Once treated, the apples will keep for 5

to 6months when stored in a dry, cool

and well-ventilated place. This method

is only suitable for apples and not for

other types of fruit.
