Warning and Safety instructions
7
The steam oven with microwave is referred to in the following instructions as a
steam oven.
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/EN60335-1, 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
8
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, reheat and cook food.
All other types of use are not permitted.
Fire hazard due to flammable materials.
If flammable items are dried using microwave power, the moisture in
the items will evaporate. This could cause the materials to dry out
and possibly self-ignite.
Never use the steam oven to store or dry items which could ignite
easily.
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.
The oven compartment is equipped with special lamps to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical res-
istance, abrasion resistance and vibration). These special lamps
must only be used for the purpose for which they are intended. They
are not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be
fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Department.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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 8kg. 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
10
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.
Radiation by microwaves:
Service or repairs which necessitate the removal of any casing must
only be carried out by a suitably trained service technician.
Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check
it for visible signs of damage before using it.
Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage. If any dam-
age is noticed, the oven should not be used again in Microwave
mode until the fault has been rectified by a service technician.
Operating a damaged steam oven can result in microwave leak-
age and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the steam oven if:
- the door is warped
- the front of the oven compartment is dented or bowed
- the door hinges are loose
- holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven
compartment interior walls
- there is moisture between the door panes
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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
13
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 for steam-cooking. Follow the instructions from the crockery
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
14
The door can support a maximum weight of 8kg. 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.
Microwave function
Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively
long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could
even cause it to catch fire.
The microwave function is used to reheat food and bever-
ages. Do not use the Microwave function for drying flowers,
herbs, bread or other flammable materials which could catch fire and
cause injury by burning.
It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing a
sufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be added
to the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking.
During the standing time, the temperature is distributed evenly in the
food.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
Risk of injury caused by hot food. When heating food up, the heat
is created directly in the food itself. For this reason the crockery will
remain cooler than the food (except when using oven-proof stone-
ware). The crockery is only warmed by the heat of the food.
Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food it-
self after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container
is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This
is particularly important when preparing food for babies, chil-
dren, and the elderly or infirm. After reheating food, especially food
for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the container
and check that the temperature does not pose any danger of burn-
ing. Double check after it has been left to stand.
The Microwave function is not suitable for cleaning or disin-
fecting items because it may involve high temperatures. There is a
risk of burning when items are removed from the oven.
Risk of injury from increased pressure in closed containers or
bottles. Pressure can build up during reheating in sealed containers
or bottles, causing them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand. In the case of baby bottles, the screw
top and teat must be removed.
When heating food, and in particular liquids, using the Micro-
wave function, the boiling point may be reached without the pro-
duction of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly through-
out. This boiling delay can result in the liquid boiling over explosively.
Take care when taking the container out of the oven, as the hot liquid
can cause severe scalding. Under certain circumstances, the pres-
sure can be so high that the door opens automatically.
Stir liquids well before heating. After heating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the container from the oven compart-
ment. In addition, a glass rod or similar item, if available, can be
placed in the container during heating.
Warning and Safety instructions
16
Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power
only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven.
They can only be cooked in their shells using the steam cooking
function or in an appropriate automatic programme. Hard-boiled
eggs must not be reheated with microwave power either as they too
will explode.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage, pota-
toes and aubergines can burst when heated or cooked.
Pierce or score the skin of these types of food several times to allow
steam to escape.
Do not use the microwave function to heat up cushions or
pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or gel, such as
those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated
even after they have been removed from the oven.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if there is
smoke inside the steam oven. Interrupt the programme by switching
the steam oven off and disconnecting the power plug. Do not open
the door until the smoke has dispersed.
Containers and lids with hollow handles or knobs can collect
moisture in the hollow spaces. When the moisture evaporates, pres-
sure can build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess is
sufficiently ventilated, the item can be used.
Do not use crockery with hollow knobs or handles when using the
Microwave function.
Warning and Safety instructions
17
Non-microwave-safe plastic dishes can sustain damage or dam-
age the steam oven if used with the Microwave function or with
functions that use microwave power.
Do not use any crockery or cutlery made from or containing metal,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics,
wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips, or plastic or paper-covered
wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the
foil lid only partially removed (see the requirements specified for
crockery in the section on microwave operation).
Fire hazard due to containers made of flammable materials.
Plastic disposable containers must meet the requirements specified
for crockery in the section on microwave operation.
Do not leave the steam oven unattended when heating or cooking
food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflam-
mable materials.
Heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil
that reflects microwave radiation. This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
Do not use heat-retaining packaging, such as bags for grilled
chicken, for warming food with functions that use microwave power.
If the steam oven is used without food or the food is loaded incor-
rectly when using the microwave function or functions that use
microwave power, the steam oven can become damaged. Do not
use the Microwave function or functions that use microwave
power to preheat crockery or to dry herbs. Never start the Micro-
wave function when the oven compartment is empty.
Warning and Safety instructions
18
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.
The side runners fit into plastic bushes. Check the bushes care-
fully for damage. If the bushes are damaged, do not use any Micro-
wave functions until the bushes have been replaced.
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
19
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.

Steam cooking mode
Water container
The maximum filling volume is 1.5litres
and the minimum is 0.5litres. 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.
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
1minute (00:01) to 10hours (10:00). If
the cooking duration exceeds
59minutes you have to enter it in hours
and minutes. Example: Cooking dura-
tion 80minutes = 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
33
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.5minutes. 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 reductionwill 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.
Description of functions
34
Microwave power
How it works
The steam oven contains a magnetron
that converts electrical energy into elec-
tromagnetic waves (microwaves). These
microwaves are distributed evenly
throughout the oven compartment, and
are reflected off the metal appliance
walls.
The microwaves penetrate inside the
food from all sides. Food consists of
many molecules. When subjected to
microwave energy, these molecules
(particularly the water molecules) start
to oscillate. This heats the food from
the outside to the inside. The more wa-
ter a food contains, the faster it is re-
heated or cooked.
Advantages of the microwave oven
- Food can generally be cooked
without having to add any/very much
extra liquid or fat.
- The times for defrosting, reheating or
cooking are shorter than with a hob
or oven.
Selecting crockery
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate the
crockery being used. Microwaves can
pass through porcelain, glass, card-
board and plastics, but not metal.
Therefore, do not use metal containers
or crockery that contains metal. Metal
reflects the microwaves which can cre-
ate sparks and the microwaves are not
absorbed by the metal.
Risk of injury from increased
pressure in sealed containers or
bottles.
Pressure can build up during reheat-
ing in sealed containers or bottles,
causing them to explode.
Never cook or reheat solid or liquid
food in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand. In the
case of baby bottles, the screw top
and teat must be removed.
Fire hazard due to using unsuit-
able crockery with the Microwave
function.
Non-microwave safe dishes can sus-
tain damage or damage the steam
oven.
Only use microwave-safe crockery
with the Microwave function.
The material and shape of the crockery
used affect the reheating and cooking
durations.
Heat distribution is more even in round
and oval-shaped shallow containers.
Food is reheated more evenly in these
containers than in square containers.
Description of functions
35
Suitable crockery
Fire hazard due to inflammable
materials.
Disposable containers made out of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials can ignite, causing damage
to the steam oven.
Do not leave the steam oven unat-
tended when reheating or cooking
food in disposable containers made
of plastic, paper or other inflam-
mable materials.
You can use the following crockery and
material:
- Heat-resistant glass and ceramic
glass
Exception: crystal glass as it contains
lead and may crack.
- Porcelain
– Without metallic decoration
Metallic decoration (e.g. gold rims
or cobalt blue) can cause sparking.
– Without hollow knobs and handles
Moisture can gather in the hollow
knobs and handles. When the
moisture evaporates, pressure can
build up and the item can explode.
- Unpainted stoneware and stoneware
with underglaze paints
Risk of injury caused by hot
crockery.
Stoneware can get hot.
Wear oven gloves when using stone-
ware.
- Plastic containers and plastic dispos-
able containers with the Micro-
wavefunction
Tip: To protect the environment, avoid
the use of disposable containers.
Plastic dishes and bags that are not
heat-resistant may deform and fuse
with the food inside.
Only use plastic containers or bags
that are heat-resistant. The plastic
containers and bags must be able to
withstand temperatures of at least
110°C.
- Microwave-safe plastic containers
Special plastic containers designed
for use in microwave ovens are avail-
able from retail outlets.
- Styrofoam containers
For briefly heating food
- Plastic boiling bags
For cooking and reheating. They
should be pierced beforehand. The
holes allow the steam can escape.
This prevents a build-up of pressure
from forming and the bag from burst-
ing.
There are also special bags available
for steam cooking which do not need
to be pierced. Please follow instruc-
tions given on the packet.
- Roasting bags and tubes
Please follow the manufacturer's in-
structions.
Fire hazard due to metal parts.
Metal parts such as metal clips or
plastic and paper ties that have wire
running through them can heat in-
flammable materials until they burn.
Do not use metal clips, or plastic and
paper ties containing wire.
Description of functions
36
- The rack and cooking containers
supplied are only suitable for cooking
with the Rapid steam cooking func-
tion and with functions that do not
use microwave power.
- Aluminium foil trays without lids for
defrosting and reheating ready meals
The food is only heated from the top.
If you remove the food from the alu-
minium foil container and transfer it
to crockery suitable for use in a
microwave oven, the heat distribution
will generally be more even.
Using aluminium foil trays and alu-
minium foil can cause crackling and
sparks.
Place aluminium foil trays on the
glass tray.
Aluminium foil and aluminium foil
trays must not touch the oven com-
partment walls and must remain at
least 2cm from the walls at all times.
- Metal meat skewers or clamps
The size of the cut of meat must be
much larger than the metal skewers
and clamps.
Unsuitable crockery
Crockery and lids with hollow
handles or knobs can collect mois-
ture in the hollow spaces. When the
moisture evaporates, pressure can
build up and the item can explode. If
the hollow recess is sufficiently vent-
ilated, the item can be used.
Do not use crockery with hollow
knobs or handles for cooking.
Do not use the following crockery and
material:
- Metal racks (including the supplied
rack) are not suitable for use with the
Microwavefunction.
- Containers made from metal and
stainless steel (including the cooking
containers supplied) are not suitable
for use with the Microwave func-
tion.
- Aluminium foil
Exception: for even defrosting, re-
heating or cooking unevenly shaped
cuts of meat, e.g. poultry, small
pieces of aluminium foil may be used
to cover thin parts for the last few
minutes of the programme.
- Metal clips, plastic or paper ties con-
taining wire
- Plastic containers where the alu-
minium lid has not been completely
removed
Description of functions
37
- Crystal glass
- Cutlery and crockery with metallic
decoration (e.g. gold rims, cobalt
blue)
- Crockery with hollow handles
- Plasticware made of melamine
Melamine absorbs microwave energy
and gets hot.
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a
microwave oven.
- Non-heat-resistant plastic containers
and bags
- Wooden dishes
Water contained in wood evaporates
during the cooking programme. This
causes the wood to dry and crack.
Placing the dish in the oven compart-
ment
Place the glass tray on shelf level1.
The dish containing the food should
be placed in the middle of the glass
tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
Description of functions
38
Cover
Tip: Covers are available from retail out-
lets.
- A cover prevents too much steam es-
caping, especially when reheating
foods over a longer period of time.
- It speeds up the heating process of
the food.
- It prevents food from drying out.
- It keeps the oven compartment
clean.
Use a glass or plastic cover suitable
for microwave use for cooking pro-
grammes with the Microwave
function.
Alternatively, use a cling film suitable
for use in a microwave oven. Heat can
cause normal cling film to distort and
fuse with the food.
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the container
has a narrow diameter, the steam
may not be able to escape. The
cover could get too hot and start to
melt.
Use containers with a sufficiently
large diameter.
Do not use a cover for reheating the
following types of food:
- Food coated in breadcrumbs
- Food that needs to be heated or
cooked using the Rapid steam cook-
ing function.
Description of functions
39
Glass tray
Functions/applications involving steam:
When using perforated containers,
place the glass tray on shelf level1.
This collects any drops of liquid and al-
lows it to be removed easily.
The condensate cannot evaporate
properly if the glass tray is on the
floor of the steam oven.
Place the glass tray on shelf level1.
Microwave function:
Always use the glass tray as a surface
to place containers on in shelf level1.
Oven interior lighting
For energy saving reasons, the oven
compartment lighting has been set at
the factory to go out after the pro-
gramme 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 lighting
will switch off automatically after
5minutes.
The lighting can be switched on for
15seconds by pressing the button
on the control panel.

Water hardness
The steam oven must be adjusted to
the local water hardness level to ensure
that it works correctly and to ensure
that descaling is carried out at the cor-
rect interval. The harder the water is,
the more frequently the steam oven
needs to be descaled.
Contact your local water supplier to find
out the hardness of the water in your
area.
If you use bottled water, such as min-
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/lCa
2+
or ppm (mgCa
2+
/l).
You can set the hardness level between
1°dH and 70°dH. The hardness level is
set to 15°dH by default.

General notes on steam cooking
74
This section contains general informa-
tion on steam cooking. You will find
more detailed information about partic-
ular 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.
Glass tray
When using perforated containers,
place the glass tray on shelf level1.
This collects any drops of liquid and al-
lows it to be removed easily.
The condensate cannot evaporate
properly if the glass tray is on the
floor of the steam oven.
Place the glass tray on shelf level1.
General notes on steam cooking
75
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level for the
cooking containers and the rack. You
can also cook on several levels at the
same time. This will not alter the cook-
ing duration.
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. If possible, leave one
shelf level free between the cooking
containers.
Always insert cooking containers, the
rack and the glass tray 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. 1kg of potatoes will
take the same time to cook as 500g.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the
cooking container ²/₃full 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.

Eco Steam cooking
You can use the Eco Steam cooking
function to save energy during steam
cooking. 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.

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
77
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 3-5cm
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. 17minutes
Waxy potatoes, cut in half:
approx. 20minutes

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
81
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
90minutes. 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.

Meat
Fresh
Prepare the meat in the usual way.
Frozen food
Meat should be thoroughly defrosted
before cooking in the steam oven (see
“Defrosting with steam”).
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
500g which is 10 cm thick will take
longer to cook than a piece of meat
weighing 500g 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.

Menu cooking (cooking whole
meals) - manually
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
97
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.

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
99
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.

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. 1hour 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 5days before reheating.

105
Reheating with steam
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.

Defrosting with steam
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.
Put the prepared vegetables into a
perforated cooking container.
Once blanched, plunge the veget-
ables into ice cold water to cool them
down quickly. Drain them well.
Settings
Special applications | Blanching
or
Oven functions | Steam cooking
Temperature: 100°C

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.
Special applications
112
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 3cm 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.
Bottling food
Place the rack in shelf level1.
Place the jars on the rack. The jars
must not touch each other.

When cooking a menu automatically,
you can combine up to 3 different foods
with different cooking durations, e.g.
fish fillet with rice and vegetables.
The food is placed in the steam oven
compartment at different times so that
each item is ready at the same time.
You can select the food in any order be-
cause the steam oven sorts the items
according to the length of cooking dur-
ation and indicates when each item has
to be placed in the oven.
The Finish at and Start at functions are
not available in menu cooking.
Using the Menu cookingspecial ap-
plication

Repeat for the third type of food as
required.
After confirming Start Menu cooking, you
will be prompted to place the food with
the longest cooking duration into the
appliance.
When using perforated containers to
cook foods that produce a lot of li-
quids or have a distinctive colour, be
sure to place them over a glass tray.
This avoids any transfer of flavour or
colour to other food and prevents li-
quid dripping onto food below it.
At the end of a heating-up phase, the
steam oven will indicate when the next
item of food has to be placed inside.
Once this time has been reached, a
buzzer will sound.
This process is repeated once again if
there is a third food item.
You can still cook food types not listed

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. Mix³/₄litre milk
with¹/₄litre cream.
Mix 100g yoghurt with 1l 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 in a perforated
container, making sure they do not
touch one another.
Immediately after the yoghurt has
been made, place the jars in the refri-
gerator, taking care not to shake
them unnecessarily.

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 2cm 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 1kg of sweet fruit
add 50–100g of sugar, and for 1kg
of tart fruit add 100–150g 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.

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 6months when stored in a dry, cool
and well-ventilated place. This method
is only suitable for apples and not for
other types of fruit.

Rapid steam cooking
122
You can defrost, reheat and cook food with a combination of steam and micro-
wave power with the Rapid steam cooking function.
During the heating-up phase, the oven compartment is initially heated to the set
temperature using just steam power. As soon as this temperature has been
reached, the microwave switches on so that the steam generator and magnetron
are both switched on throughout the entire cooking phase.
Just like steam-only cooking, the cooking duration does not begin until the set
temperature is reached.
The Rapid steam cooking combined function has a number of advantages, in-
cluding the following:
- Shorter cooking durations, as food cooks more quickly than using steam power
alone
- Food will not overcook or dry out as it can with microwave-only power
- Food can be defrosted and reheated in a single process
- Food does not need to be stirred during the cooking programme

Cooking rice
Rice swells when cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The proportion of rice
to liquid will vary depending on the type of rice.
The rice absorbs all the liquid during the cooking process and so none of the nutri-
ents are lost.
Add the rice with the liquid into a solid cooking container.

Defrost
Gentle defrosting of frozen goods
means that the vitamins and minerals
are generally retained.
Risk of infection from bacteria.
Bacteria such as salmonella can
cause serious food poisoning.
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.
Tips
- Place the frozen food on the glass
tray without its packaging. For larger
quantities, place the food in a micro-
wave-safe container and place this
on the glass tray.
- Frozen ready meals can be defrosted
and then heated at the same time.
Follow the instructions on the pack-
aging.
Defrosting frozen food
Use containers that are microwave
safe.
Place the frozen food in the middle of
the glass tray on shelf level1.
If necessary, cover the frozen food.
Select Special applications.
Select Defrost| Microwave.
Change the recommended power
level and defrosting time if necessary.
Select Start.
During defrosting:
Stir, turn or rearrange the food once
again. Stir the food from the outside
towards the middle, as food heats
more quickly from the outside.
During the standing time, the temperat-
ure is distributed evenly in the food.
After defrosting, allow the food to
stand at room temperature for a few
minutes to enable the heat to spread
evenly throughout the food.

Reheat
It is essential that the section entitled
“Correct use” in the “Warning and
safety instructions” is observed.
Risk of injury caused by hot
food.
If food for babies and children is
heated at too high a temperature,
they can burn themselves.
Only heat food for babies and chil-
dren for 60–70seconds at 450W.
After heating food, especially food
for babies and small children, stir the
food or shake the container and
taste the food so that children do not
get burned.
Risk of injury from increased
pressure in closed containers or
bottles.
Pressure can build up during reheat-
ing in sealed containers or bottles,
causing them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers or bottles. Open
containers beforehand. In the case of
baby bottles, the screw top and teat
must be removed.
Risk of injury caused by hot liquids.
When heating food, and in particular
liquids, using the Micro-
wavefunction, the boiling point
may be reached without the produc-
tion of typical bubbles. The liquid
does not boil evenly throughout.
This boiling delay can result in the li-
quid boiling over explosively. Take
care when taking the container out of
the oven, as the hot liquid can cause
severe scalding. Under certain cir-
cumstances, the pressure can be so
high that the door opens automatic-
ally.
Stir liquids well before reheating or
cooking.
After reheating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the
container from the oven compart-
ment.
In addition, a glass rod or similar
item, if available, can be placed in
the container during reheating.
Microwave defrosting and reheating
131
Tips
- Always cover food when heating it,
except when heating beverages or
meat/fish coated in breadcrumbs.
- Please note that foods with an initial
temperature of approx.5°C (refriger-
ated temperature) need longer to
heat up than those at room temperat-
ure.
- If you are in any doubt that a suffi-
ciently high food temperature has
been reached, continue heating for a
little longer.
- Frozen ready meals can be defrosted
and then heated at the same time.
Follow the instructions on the pack-
aging.
Heating food
Use containers that are microwave
safe.
Place the food that is to be heated in
the glass tray on shelf level 1.
If necessary, cover the food.
Select Special applications.
Select Reheat| Microwave.
Change the recommended power
level and time if necessary.
Select Start.
During heating:
Stir, turn or rearrange the food once
again. Stir the food from the outside
towards the middle, as food heats
more quickly from the outside.
Danger of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The steam oven gets hot during op-
eration. You could burn yourself on
the oven compartment, side runners
or accessories. Droplets of water
may have accumulated underneath
the crockery.
Use oven gloves when working in the
hot oven compartment and when re-
moving the crockery.
During the standing time, the temperat-
ure is distributed evenly in the food.
After heating, allow the food to stand
at room temperature for a few
minutes to enable the heat to spread
evenly throughout the food.

Cleaning and care
143
Risk of injury caused by hot sur-
faces.
The steam oven gets hot during op-
eration. You could burn yourself on
the oven compartment, side runners
or accessories.
Allow the oven compartment, side
runners and accessories to cool be-
fore cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach live electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
Never use a steam cleaner for clean-
ing.
All surfaces could be discoloured or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass can in
some circumstances lead to break-
age.
Use only domestic washing-up liquid
to clean the appliance.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Do not use cleaning agents or wash-
ing-up liquids containing aliphatic
hydrocarbons as these could cause
the seals to swell.
Stubborn soiling could damage the
steam oven in certain circumstances.
Once the oven has cooled, clean the
oven compartment, the inside of the
door and the door seal. Waiting too
long can make cleaning unnecessar-
ily difficult and in some cases im-
possible.
Operating a damaged steam oven
can result in microwave leakage and
present a hazard to the user.
Check the door and door seal for any
sign of damage. If any damage is no-
ticed, the oven should not be used
again with microwave functions until
the fault has been rectified by a ser-
vice technician.
The appliance and accessories
should be cleaned and dried thor-
oughly after each use.
Leave the appliance door open until
the oven compartment is completely
dry.
Tip: If the appliance is not going to be
used for a longer period of time – during
a holiday, for example – it should be
thoroughly cleaned and dried before-
hand to prevent the build-up of odours
and so on. Leave the door open after-
wards.

(e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents)
- Melamine eraser blocks
- Sharp metal scrapers
- Wire wool
- Stainless steel spiral pads
- Spot cleaning with mechanical clean-
ing agents
- Oven cleaners or sprays
Cleaning the steam oven front
Clean the appliance front with a
clean, soft sponge and a solution of
warm water and washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Tip: A clean, damp microfibre cloth
without cleaning agent can also be
used.
Cleaning and care
145
Cleaning the oven compart-
ment
The oven compartment, the door seal,
the inside of the door and the drip
channel should be cleaned and dried
after each use.
Remove:
- Condensate using a sponge or ab-
sorbent cloth
- Light, greasy soiling with a clean
sponge and a solution of washing-up
liquid and hot water
After cleaning, wipe the surface with
clean water to remove any cleaning
agent residues.
Then wipe the surfaces dry using a
cloth.
Cleaning the automatic door opener
Ensure that the door opener does
not become soiled with food
residues.
Wipe away soiling immediately with
a clean sponge and a solution of
washing-up liquid and hot water.
After cleaning, wipe the surface with
clean water to remove any cleaning
agent residues.
Cleaning the water container
Take out the water container after
each use involving steam.
Remove the spill guard.
Empty the water container.
Rinse the water container by hand
and then dry it to prevent limescale.
Fit the spill guard back into the water
container. Make sure the spill guard
engages correctly.
Accessories
All accessories are dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the glass tray, rack and
cooking containers
Wash and dry the glass tray, rack and
cooking containers after each use.
Any bluish discolouration on the
cooking containers can be removed
with vinegar. Then rinse with clean
water.
Cleaning and care
146
Cleaning the side runners
The side runners are suitable for
cleaning in a dishwasher.
Pull the side runners out of holder(1.)
from the front and remove them(2.).
The side runners can be washed in
the dishwasher or by hand with a
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a
clean sponge or cloth.
Reassemble by following these in-
structions in reverse order.
Refit the side runners carefully.
If the side runners are not correctly
inserted, there is no anti-tip protec-
tion.
The side runners are fitted in plastic
bushings. Check the bushings for
damage.
If the bushings are damaged, do not
use any functions involving micro-
wave power until the bushings have
been replaced.
Maintenance
The Finish at and Start at functions are
not available with maintenance pro-
grammes.
Descaling the steam oven
We recommend using Miele descaling
tablets (see “Optional accessories”) to
descale the appliance. These have
been specially developed for use with
Miele appliances to optimise the de-
scaling process. Other descaling
agents, which contain other acids be-
sides citric acid and/or other undesir-
able substances, such as chlorides for
example, could cause damage to the
product. Moreover, the descaling res-
ult required could not be guaranteed if
the descaling solution was not of the
appropriate concentration.
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 has to be descaled
after a certain number of operating
hours. When the time comes to descale
it, the number of uses remaining lights
up in the display. It only counts the
number of uses that use steam. The
steam oven will be disabled after the
last remaining cooking process.
We recommend that you descale the
appliance before it locks out.
Cleaning and care
147
During the descaling process, the water
container must be rinsed out and re-
filled with fresh water.
Switch the steam oven on and select
Maintenance|Descale.
The message Please wait will appear on
the display. The descaling process is
being prepared. This may take several
minutes. As soon as the appliance is
ready you will be prompted to fill the
water container.
Fill the water container with lukewarm
fresh tap water up to the level
marker and drop 2Miele descaling
tablets in it.
Wait until the descaling tablets have
dissolved.
Push the water container into the ap-
pliance.
Confirm withOK.
The time remaining appears on the dis-
play. The descaling process will now
begin.
Do not switch the steam oven off dur-
ing the descaling process, otherwise
the whole process will have to be star-
ted from the beginning again.
The water container will need emptying
and refilling with fresh tap water twice
during descaling.
Follow the instructions on the display.
Confirm each with OK.
Once the time left has elapsed, Fin-
ishedappears on the display and a
buzzer sounds.
Switch the steam oven off.
Remove the water container and take
out the spill guard.
Empty and dry the water container.
Allow the oven compartment to cool
down.
Then dry the oven compartment.
Leave the appliance door open until
the oven compartment is completely
dry.
Soak
Stubborn soiling can be soaked using
this maintenance programme.
Allow the oven compartment to cool
down.
Remove all accessories from the
oven.
Remove coarse soiling with a cloth.
Select Maintenance | Soak.
The soaking process takes approx.
10minutes.
Problem solving guide
148
Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily
remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be
needed.
The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault,
and to correct it.
Problem Cause and remedy
You cannot switch the
appliance on.
The fuse has tripped.
Reset the trip switch in the fuse box or replace the
fuse in the plug (see data plate for minimum fuse
rating).
There may be a technical fault.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains connec-
tion for approximately 1minute by:
– Tripping the relevant mains fuse or unscrewing
the fuse completely, or
– Switching off the residual current protection
device
If, after resetting the trip switch in the mains fuse
box or the residual current protection device, the
steam oven will still not turn on, contact a qualified
electrician or Miele Service.
The oven compartment
does not heat up.
Demo mode is active.
The steam oven can be operated, however, the heat-
ing elements will not work.
Deactivate demo mode (see “Settings – Show-
room programme”).
The oven compartment has been warmed up by a
warming drawer in operation underneath it.
Open the door and let the oven compartment cool
down.
Problem solving guide
149
Problem Cause and remedy
The sensor controls or
the movement sensor
do not respond.
You have selected the Display| QuickTouch| Off set-
ting. When this is activated, the sensor controls and
movement sensor do not respond when the steam
oven is switched off.
As soon as the steam oven is switched on, the
sensor controls and the movement sensor will re-
spond. If you want the sensor controls and the
movement sensor to respond even when the
steam oven is switched off, select the Display|
QuickTouch| On setting.
The settings for the movement sensor are switched
off.
Change the settings for the movement sensor by
selecting Settings| Movement sensor.
The movement sensor is defective.
Call the Miele Customer Service Department.
The steam oven is not connected to the power sup-
ply.
Check that the steam oven plug is correctly inser-
ted into the socket.
Check whether the fuse has tripped. Contact a
qualified electrician or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
If the display does not respond, there is a fault with
the controls.
Touch and hold the On/Off sensor control until
the display switches off and the steam oven re-
starts.
The fan can still be
heard after the appli-
ance has been switched
off.
The fan is still running.
The appliance is fitted with a fan which removes
steam from the oven. The fan will continue to run for
a while after the appliance has been switched off. It
will switch itself off automatically after a while.
Problem solving guide
150
Problem Cause and remedy
A humming sound can
be heard after switching
on the appliance, during
operation and after
switching off the appli-
ance.
It is quite normal and does not indicate any fault
with the appliance. It happens when water is being
pumped through the system.
After moving house, the
steam oven no longer
switches from the heat-
ing-up phase to the
cooking phase.
The boiling temperature of the water has changed as
the altitude of the new location for the appliance dif-
fers from the old one by at least 300m.
To adjust the boiling temperature, you need to de-
scale the steam oven (see “Cleaning and care –
Descaling the steam oven”).
During operation an un-
usually large amount of
steam escapes, or
steam escapes from
parts of the oven where
it does not usually.
The door is not properly closed.
Close the door.
The door seal is not correctly fitted.
Press it in all the way round the door to make sure
it is fitted evenly.
The door seal is damaged, e.g. cracks can be seen.
The door seal needs to be replaced.
Call Miele Service.
Do not use any microwave modes / functions until
the door seal has been replaced.
A whistling sound is
heard when the appli-
ance is switched on
again.
When the door is closed, the pressure has to equal-
ise, which can cause a whistling sound. This is not
a fault.
The Start at and Finish at
functions are not avail-
able.
The temperature in the oven compartment is too
high, e.g. after a programme has finished.
Open the door and let the oven compartment
cool down.
These functions are not generally available in main-
tenance programmes.
Problem solving guide
151
Problem Cause and remedy
After long cooking pro-
grammes using micro-
wave power , the
oven interior is very
damp.
The steam oven with microwave is a fully fledged
steam oven. The cooking compartment is com-
pletely hermetically sealed. In contrast, a conven-
tional microwave oven is not air-tight. Because the
cooking compartment is steam-tight, condensation
will form on the side walls and the inner door panel
during long cooking programmes using microwave
power . The amount of condensate depends on
the cooking duration and the level of moisture in the
food.
The food is not suffi-
ciently heated or is not
cooked at the end of a
set duration when using
the microwave
function.
The microwave oven was not restarted after inter-
rupting a cooking programme.
Restart the cooking programme to ensure the food
is heated or cooked properly.
When cooking or heating with microwave power, the
duration set was too short.
Check that the correct duration is selected for the
microwave power level. The lower the microwave
power level the longer the cooking duration.
With a very small amount of food, the steam oven
automatically reduces the power level to suit the ac-
tual amount of food as a safety precaution. The dis-
play still shows the previously set initial power level.
Restart the programme with a lower microwave
power setting to ensure the food is heated or
cooked properly.
Food has cooled down
too quickly after being
heated or cooked using
the microwave func-
tion.
In the microwave oven, food begins to cook from the
outside first, the inside of the food relying on the
slower conduction of heat. If food is cooked at a high
microwave power level, it is possible that the heat
may not have reached the centre of the food, so it is
hot on the outside but cold in the centre. During the
standing time, the heat is transferred to the centre of
the food.
When heating food with different densities, such
as with menu cooking, it is sensible to start with a
low microwave power level and select a longer re-
heating duration.
Problem solving guide
152
Problem Cause and remedy
Less than half of the
popcorn has popped
when using the popcorn
function.
The oven compartment was too warm and/or too hu-
mid.
Allow the oven compartment to cool and/or dry it
with a towel.
The cooking duration was too short.
Change the predefined time. The maximum cook-
ing duration that can be set is 4minutes (see “Set-
tings – Popcorn”).
The oven interior light-
ing is not working.
The lamp is defective.
Call Miele Service to have the lamp replaced.
F44 Communication fault
Switch the steam oven off and then back on again
after a few minutes.
If the same message appears again, call the Ser-
vice Department.
F and other fault codes Technical fault.
