Warning and Safety instructions
8
The Combi steam oven 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
9
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,
bake, roast, grill, 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
10
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. Children’s skin is far more
sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. External parts of
the steam oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent
become quite hot. 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
Risk of injury from the open door.
The oven door can support a maximum weight of 10kg. Children
could injure themselves on an open door.
Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.
If you touch the sensor control, the door will fully open auto-
matically. In doing so, it can knock against small children or animals,
for example.
If the buzzers are switched on, a buzzer will sound on the steam
oven when you open the door via remote control using a voice-
based service. When opening the door, make sure that nobody is in
the area around the door. Make sure that you keep the buzzers
switched on.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
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).
Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live connec-
tions or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of
the oven will endanger your safety and may lead to the steam oven
malfunctioning.
Do not open the steam oven housing under any circumstances.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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 mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable (see “Electrical connection” in
the “Installation” chapter).
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
14
Correct use
Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven
gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heater ele-
ments, oven compartment, side runners, accessories, door glass,
food or steam.
Wear oven gloves when placing hot food in the oven or removing it,
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven compartment and
when closing the door.
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.
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 containers which are not suitable for use in an oven melt at
high temperatures and can damage the steam oven or catch fire.
Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer
as being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's in-
structions on use. If you want to use plastic containers for steaming
food make sure that they are temperature resistant to 100°C and
steam resistant. Any other plastic containers could melt, become
brittle or break when subjected to heat.
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
15
The door can support a maximum weight of 10kg. 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.
Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the steam oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
If it does ignite do not put the flames out with water. Switch the
steam oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by keep-
ing the oven door closed.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam
oven when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up the room.
Grilling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it to
dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the recommen-
ded cooking durations.
Some types of food dry out quickly and can self-ignite if high grill
temperatures are used.
Never use the grill to finish baking part-cooked rolls or bread or to
dry flowers or herbs. Use Fan plus or Conventional heat for
this type of procedure.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the steam oven door if
there is smoke inside the oven compartment. Interrupt operation by
switching the steam oven off and disconnecting it from the mains
electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dis-
persed.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temper-
atures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire
on hot heating elements.
Warning and Safety instructions
16
Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil
or oven liners. Do not place any crockery or any pans, pots or baking
trays directly on the floor of the oven compartment.
If you want to use the floor of the oven compartment as an extra sur-
face, place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the
rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. In doing so,
ensure that the filter in the floor of the oven is not moved.
The oven compartment floor can become damaged by the rack
being pushed around on it.
Do not push the rack around on the oven compartment floor.
Larger deposits of food can block the drain and pump. Always
make sure that the filter in the floor of the oven is inserted.
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.
Do not operate the steam oven without the lamp cover. Steam
could could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Steam could also damage the electrical components.
Warning and Safety instructions
17
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.
Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is
faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food
probe.
The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures.
Do not use the food probe when using the grill functions (exception:
Fan Grill). Do not store the food probe in the oven if it is not in
use.
Caring for the environment
18
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.

Control panel
The water container, condensate con-
tainer and food probe are located be-
hind the control panel. The sensor is
used for opening and closing the con-
trol panel. The panel is fitted with a
device which will automatically stop it
moving if it meets an obstruction whilst
opening or closing.
Water container
The maximum filling volume is 1.4l and
the minimum is 1.0l. There are mark-
ings on the water container. The upper
marking must never be exceeded.
Water consumption depends on the
type of food and the cooking duration.
The water may need to be topped up
during cooking. Water consumption is
increased if the door is opened during
cooking.
Fill the water container to the maximum
level before each cooking programme
involving steam.
Condensate container
Condensate that collects in the appli-
ance from cooking is pumped into the
condensate container. The container
has a maximum capacity of 1.4litres.
Food probe
The food probe measures the core tem-
perature in the food, enabling the tem-
perature during the cooking process to
be monitored simply and accurately.
Temperature/core temperature
Some functions have a pre-set recom-
mended temperature. The recommen-
ded temperature can be altered within
the given range for an individual cook-
ing programme, a programme stage or
for every time that programme is used
(see “Recommended temperatures” in
the “Settings” chapter).
The core temperature can also be
altered within the given range for an in-
dividual programme or a specific pro-
gramme stage.
Description of functions
33
Moisture
The Combi modefunction and Re-
heatspecial application use a combina-
tion of oven heat and moisture. The
moisture level can also be selected
within the given range for an individual
programme or a specific programme
stage.
Depending on the moisture setting,
moisture or fresh air is supplied to the
oven compartment. When the moisture
setting=0%, the maximum fresh air
supply is implemented and no moisture
is supplied. When the moisture set-
ting=100%, there is no fresh air sup-
ply and the moisture content is at its
maximum.
Some food gives off moisture during
the cooking process. This moisture
from the food also controls the amount
of moisture needed. If the required
amount of moisture is low, the steam
generator may not be activated at all.
Cooking duration
Depending on the function, you can set
a cooking duration of between 1minute
and 6, 10 or 12hours.
The cooking durations of the Automatic,
Maintenance and Menu cookingpro-
grammes are set at the factory and can-
not be altered.
When cooking with steam, as well as
for programmes and applications with
pure steam operation, the cooking dur-
ation does not begin until the set tem-
perature is reached. It starts immedi-
ately for all other functions, pro-
grammes and applications.
Noises
A humming sound can be heard during
operation and after switching off the
steam oven. This noise does not indic-
ate incorrect operation or an appliance
fault. The noise is made by water being
pumped through the system.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.
Description of functions
34
Heating-up phase
In all functions, the display shows the
temperature in the oven compartment
as it rises during the heating-up phase
(exceptions: Full grill, Economy
grill).
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.7minutes. 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-videcooking func-
tion.
Cooking phase
The elapsing remaining time is shown in
the display during the cooking phase.
When cooking with steam, the cooking
phase begins once the set temperature
is reached. It starts immediately for all
other functions, programmes and ap-
plications.
Steam reduction
With steam cooking and combination
cooking, the steam reduction function
will switch on automatically at the end
of a cooking programme which uses a
temperature within a certain temperat-
ure range. The function stops excessive
steam escaping when the door is
opened. Steam reduction will appear in
the display.
Steam reduction can be switched off
(see “Steam reduction” in the “Settings”
chapter). 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 5minutes.
The lighting can be switched on for
15seconds by touching the button
on the control panel.

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

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.

eration. You could burn yourself on
the heater elements, oven compart-
ment, side runners or door glass.
Wear oven gloves when adjusting
oven shelves etc. in a hot oven com-
partment and when closing the hot
door.
The heater element will give off a
slight smell when it is heated for the

Energy saving tips

Cooking programmes
- Remove all accessories from the
oven compartment that are not re-
quired for cooking.
- In general, if a range of temperatures
is given in a recipe or cooking chart,
it is best to select the lower temper-
ature and to check the food after the
shortest duration.
- Preheat the oven compartment only if
instructed to do so in the recipe or
the cooking chart.
- If possible, do not open the door dur-
ing a programme.
- Dark, matt tins are best for baking.
These absorb the heat more effect-
ively and transmit the heat to the mix-
ture quicker. Shiny materials such as
stainless steel or aluminium reflect
the heat and therefore can give a
more uneven result. Do not cover the
oven floor or the rack with heat-re-
flecting aluminium foil.
- Monitor cooking durations to avoid
wasting energy when cooking.
Set the cooking duration, or use a
food probe if you have one.
- The Fan plusfunction can be used
for cooking many types of food. Be-
cause the fan distributes the heat in
the oven compartment straight away,
it allows you to use a lower temperat-
ure than you would with Conventional
heat. It also enables you to cook
on multiple shelf levels at the same
time.
- Fan grill is the best function for
grilled dishes. With this function, you
can use lower temperatures than in
other grill functions which use the
maximum temperature setting.
- The Eco Fan heatfunction ensures
energy-efficient cooking thanks to
optimal utilisation of heat. Use this
function for sweet and savoury bakes
and gratins. Do not open the door
during the cooking programme.
- You can use the Eco Steam cook-
ingfunction to save energy during
steam cooking. This function is par-
ticularly suitable for cooking fish and
vegetables.
- Whenever possible, you should cook
several dishes at the same time.
Place them next to each other in the
oven or on different shelf levels.
- Dishes which you are unable to cook
at the same time should, if possible,
be cooked one after the other in or-
der to make use of existing heat in
the oven.

General notes
72
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
Stainless steel cooking containers are
provided with the steam oven. 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 meal
you are preparing.
Use perforated cooking containers for
steam cooking if possible. 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 suitable for use
in an oven 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, meaning cooking
durations will be considerably longer
than those given in the charts.
- Place the containers on the rack or
on a suitable tray. Depending on the
size of the container, you can also
place the rack on the floor of the
oven compartment with the rack sur-
face facing up and the cooking con-
tainer on top. You can also take the
side runners out to make more room
(see “Cleaning the side runners” in
the “Cleaning and care” chapter).
- Ensure that there is a gap between
the upper rim of the container and
the top of the oven compartment to
allow sufficient steam into the con-
tainer.
General notes
73
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, the
rack and the tray between the rails of
the side runners 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 - steam
cooking
Food and recipes which are prepared in
pot or a pan can also be cooked in the
steam oven. The cooking times in the
steam oven will be the same. Please
note that food will not be brown or crisp
when cooking with steam.
General notes
74
Universal tray and combi rack
Use the universal tray with the combi
rack placed on top of it, e.g. for roasting
and grilling. During roasting, you can
use the meat juices collected in the tray
to make a gravy or sauce.
If you are using the universal tray with
the combi rack on top, insert the univer-
sal tray between the rails of a shelf level
and the combi rack will automatically
slide in above them. When removing
them from the oven, pull both out to-
gether.
Non-tip safety notches
The combi rack and universal tray have
non-tip safety notches which prevent
them being pulled right out when they
only need to be partially pulled out. The
tray and rack can then only be taken
out of the oven by raising them up-
wards and then pulling them out.
Steam cooking
75
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.
Settings
Oven functions | Eco Steam cook-
ing
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
76
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 universal tray to catch any li-
quid and so avoid any transfer of tastes
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
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
“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
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 flavour, use a perforated
cooking container. Place a solid
cooking container or the universal
tray underneath in order to collect the
concentrate. You can use the con-
centrate to enhance your sauces or
freeze it for later use.
- Boiling meat from chicken and beef
as well as meat bones can be used to
make a strong stock. Place the meat
together with the bones and some
mixed vegetables in a cooking con-
tainer and add cold water. The longer
the cooking duration, 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 liquid
(e.g. fish) or have a distinctive colour
(e.g. beetroot) directly above universal
tray. This avoids any transfer of flavour
or colour to other food and prevents li-
quid 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
96
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 cooking meth-
ods because 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 high temperatures and/or long
cooking durations, the appliance 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 process
and can change the cooking result.
- 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
98
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
99
Using the Sous-videfunction
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.
For the best cooking results, place
the rack on shelf level2.
Place the vacuum-sealed food on the
rack (next to each other if there are
several bags).
Select Oven functions.
Select Sous-vide.
Change the recommended temperat-
ure if necessary.
Confirm withOK.
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.

102
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.

Special applications
104
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
10–12minutes are usually sufficient for
one plate of food. More than one plate
will need a little longer.
If you are reheating several plated
meals one after the other, the reheating
time can be reduced by around
5minutes for the second and sub-
sequent plates as the oven compart-
ment will still be hot.
Moisture
The more moist the food, the less mois-
ture needs to be added.
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 or roulades, should be cut in
half.
- Reheat sauces separately. Exceptions
are dishes such as goulash, which is
cooked in sauce.
- Please note that breaded items, such
as schnitzel, will not retain their crisp-
ness when they are reheated.
Food does not need to be covered be-
fore it is reheated.

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 the uni-
versal tray underneath when defrosting
food which will drip, such as poultry.
This way food will not be lying in de-
frosted 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.

Mix & Match
The Mix & Matchspecial application is
available to help with simple and un-
complicated preparation of plated
meals. With this application, you can re-
heat food that has already been cooked
(convenience food) or assemble a por-
tioned-out meal using fresh food and
cook it on a plate.
During cooking, you have the choice
between a crispy, browned result or
gently cooked food with a succulent
surface without additional browning.
Only use food that is completely hy-
gienic. If you have any concerns, dis-
pose of the food.
Containers
Use:
- a flat plate or a small ovenproof dish
- a deep bowl or a cup for food that re-
quires liquid to be added
Baked goods, pizza, flammkuchen, etc.
can be placed directly on the rack (with
baking parchment if necessary).
The plastic containers for ready
meals are not sufficiently heat-resist-
ant.
Transfer ready meals into suitable
cooking containers.

Tips for reheating plated meals
- For fried or gratin dishes, useCrispy
reheating and for baked or boiled
dishes, useGentle reheating.
- UsingCrispy reheating ensures that
only food that was crispy before re-
heating stays crispy.
- The food should not exceed a height
of 2–2.5cm. Transfer taller food into
flat containers (e.g. stew) or slice it
into smaller pieces (e.g. roulades,
bakes).
- Only reheat pasta mixed into a sauce.
- Droplets of water may have accumu-
lated underneath the crockery. Dry
the droplets of water before serving.
Tips for cooking plated meals
- You can easily make a sauce from
the meat and fish stock: add 1tsp of
cornflour to the raw meat or fish be-
fore cooking. Stir the sauce with a
fork until smooth before serving. You
can also use 1tsp of mashed potato
powder (instant) or a pinch of guar
gum instead of cornflour.
- If cooking durations for different
foods are not the same, you can
compensate for this by changing the
size of the food: if the cooking dura-
tion is shorter, make the pieces larger
(e.g. large cauliflower florets). If the
cooking duration is longer, make the
pieces smaller (e.g. diced potatoes).
- You can also compensate for differ-
ing cooking durations with layering:
place food with a short cooking dura-
tion under a food with a long cooking
duration or put them together as a
small bake.
- To prevent the food from drying out,
prepare your dish with a sauce or
marinade. You can also use cheese
or bacon.
Special applications
111
Assembling a plated meal using vari-
ous components
For a good cooking result, you must put
together the individual components of
the dish – such as meat, side dishes
and vegetables – so that a common
setting can be selected for browning.
This setting must be suitable for all ele-
ments of the meal, or at least condition-
ally suitable.
We recommend using the following pro-
cedure:
Select a main ingredient based on the
cooking charts, e.g. steak.
Select other ingredients which have
the corresponding settings for brown-
ing, e.g. green beans and rice.
Notes on the cooking charts
As well as information on portion sizes
or the way the food needs to be pro-
cessed prior to cooking, the cooking
charts also provide tips on preparation.
The degree of browning is represented
in the display by a bar with seven seg-
ments. Basically, the more segments
that are filled, the longer the cooking
duration.
You can use the icons to determine
which setting is appropriate to brown
the food:

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.

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
121
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 a perforated container or the
rack in level1.
Place the jars in the perforated con-
tainer or on the rack. The jars must

Bottling cakes
Creamed, sponge and yeast dough mixtures are all suitable for bottling. Cakes will
keep for approx. 6 months.
Cakes made with fresh fruit are not suitable for long term storage, and must be
consumed within 2 days of being made.
Only use sterilised jars and accessories. The jars must be narrower at the bottom
than at the top (mason jars). 0.25l jars are the best for this purpose.
Jars must have a glass lid with a rubber ring and metal spring clamp to seal them.
Make sure that all the jars are the same size so that the preserving process is car-
ried out evenly.
Grease the inside of the jars with butter up to 1cm below the rim.
Sprinkle fine breadcrumbs inside the jars.
Fill the jars ¹/₂ to ²/₃ full with mixture (depending on recipe). Make sure the rim
stays clean.
Place the rack in shelf level1.
Place the open jars (all the same size) on the rack. The jars must not touch each
other.
Close the jars immediately after bottling by clamping the glass lid down se-
curely. Do not let the cakes cool down. If the mixture has risen above the rim, it
can be pushed back down into the jar with the glass lid.

Menu cooking – automatic
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.

will be prompted to place the food into
the appliance with the longest cooking
duration.
When using perforated containers to
cook foods that produce a lot of li-
quid or have a distinctive colour, be
sure to place them over the universal
tray. This avoids any transfer of fla-
vour or colour to other food and pre-
vents liquid 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 if there is a
third food item.
You can still cook food types not listed
together. Please refer to “Menu cook-
ing – manual” in the “Steam cooking”
chapter for more information.
Disinfect items
The steam oven can be used to disin-
fect baby bottles and other containers
so that at the end of the programme
they are as germ free as they would
have been had they been boiled. Check
beforehand that all parts, teats etc. are
declared by the manufacturer to be heat
resistant to 100°C and also that they
can withstand hot steam.
Dismantle, clean and thoroughly rinse
baby bottles. All parts of the bottles
must be completely dry before they are
reassembled to keep them germ free.
Place the individual items on the rack
or in a perforated container (on their
sides or with the opening facing
downwards) ensuring that they do not
touch one another to allow hot steam
to reach them from all sides.

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

ated cooking container.

Glass jars
Only use sterilised jars with twist-off lids
up to a maximum capacity of 250ml.
After pouring in the fruit, clean the rim
of the jar with a clean cloth and hot wa-
ter.
Preparation
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 stalks, cores or stones.
Purée the fruit as otherwise the pre-
serve will not set. Add jam sugar to the
fruit (according to packet instructions)
and stir well.
For sweet fruit and berries you should
also add some citric acid.
Making fruit preserve
Fill jars maximum 2/3 full.
Place the jars without their lids on in
a perforated container or on the rack.
At the end of the cooking duration,
take the jars out of the steam oven
using oven gloves. Leave them to
stand for 1–2minutes before sealing
them with lids and then leave them to

Usage notes
- The degree of cooking and browning
are represented by a bar with seven
segments. You can set how well you
want the food cooked or how brown
you want it to be by touching the rel-
evant segment.
- Some roasting programmes also offer
the Roast with moistureoption. With
this option meat is cooked at a low
temperature over a long cooking dur-
ation for tender and succulent res-
ults. The additional moisture helps to
achieve the best cooking and brown-
ing result: the meat is very succulent
and tender. The cut is cooked evenly
and has a thin brown outer layer that
forms during the roasting pro-
gramme. It is therefore not necessary
to sear the meat beforehand. In con-
trast to the Roastoption, there is no
need to use the food probe in this
case and you can set a start or end
time to suit your menu planning.
- The weights specified in the auto-
matic programmes refer to the weight
per piece. For example, you can cook
just one piece of salmon weighing
250g or 10 pieces of salmon, each
weighing 250g, at the same time.
- The steam oven compartment needs
to cool to room temperature before
starting an automatic programme.

- When you place food into the hot
oven compartment, be careful when
opening the door. Hot steam may es-
cape. Step back and wait until the

with hot steam, and do not touch the
hot oven compartment walls. Danger
of burning and scalding.
- Please refer to the cookbook for in-
formation on suitable baking contain-
ers.
- For some automatic programmes, the
start time can be delayed using Start
at or Finish at. The individual cooking
stages of the automatic programme
are listed under the Display cooking
stagesmenu option.

Baking
143
Handling food carefully will help pro-
tect your health.
Cakes, pizzas and french fries should
be cooked until golden, not dark
brown.
Baking tips
- Set a cooking duration. When baking,
the oven should not be set to start a
long time off. Otherwise the cake
mixture or dough will dry out, and the
raising agents will lose their effective-
ness.
- Generally speaking, you can use
racks, universal trays and any type of
baking tray made of heat-resistant
material.
- Always place baking tins on the rack.
- Always cook frozen goods such as
cakes, pizza or baguettes on the
rack.
Very high temperatures can cause
the universal tray to distort to such
an extent that the tray cannot be
taken out of the oven compartment.
- Small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes can
be cooked on the universal tray. Turn
these frozen food items several times
during cooking.
- Bake on a maximum of 2levels at the
same time. When baking cakes with
a moist topping, only bake on one
level.
Using baking parchment
Miele accessories, e.g. the universal
tray, are treated with PerfectClean (see
“Cleaning and care”). Surfaces treated
with PerfectClean generally do not
need to be greased or covered with
baking parchment.
Use baking parchment when cooking:
- lye mixtures because anything pre-
pared using a lye containing sodium
hydroxide can damage the
PerfectClean surface
- mixtures with a high egg white con-
tent, such as sponge, meringue and
macaroons, as these can easily stick
- puff pastry or strudel dough
- frozen food on the rack
- small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes on
the universal tray
Baking
144
Tips on baking
- Dark tins are best for baking. Avoid
using bright, thin-walled tins as they
give an uneven or poor browning res-
ult. In certain unfavourable condi-
tions, the food will not cook properly.
- Position rectangular tins with the
longer side across the width of the
oven compartment for optimum heat
distribution and even baking results.
- When cooking frozen food such as
chips, croquettes, cakes, pizza and
baguettes, select the medium tem-
perature quoted on the manufac-
turer's packaging.
- If a range is specified for the cooking
duration, check whether the food is
cooked after the shortest duration.
Stick a wooden skewer into the food.
If it comes out clean without any bat-
ter/dough on it, the food is done.
Notes on the functions
You can find an overview of all the func-
tions with their recommended values in
“Main and sub-menus”.
Combi mode
This function uses a combination of
oven heat and moisture. The addition of
steam prevents the surface of the food
from drying out. Bread, bread rolls and
puff pastry have a shiny and crunchy
crust.
You can choose between different types
of heating:
- Combi Fan plus
- Combi Conventional
- Combi Grill
We recommend baking bread and
bread rolls in several cooking stages:
the shine is created during the 1st
cooking stage thanks to the injection of
steam (maximum moisture, low temper-
ature). Browning takes place in the next
cooking stage with high moisture and a
high temperature. It is then dried with
reduced moisture and a medium to high
temperature.
Tip: Recipes and comprehensive cook-
ing charts with information on func-
tions, temperatures, moisture and cook-
ing durations can be found in the
“Steam combination oven” cookbook.
Baking
145
Automatic programmes
Please refer to the cookbook for inform-
ation on suitable baking containers.
Follow the instructions on the display.
Fan plus
Use this function if you are baking on
multiple shelves at the same time.
You can use any type of baking tray
made of heat-resistant material.
Because the fan distributes the heat
around the oven compartment straight
away, it allows you to use a lower tem-
perature than you would with the Con-
ventional heatfunction.
Conventional heat
Use this function for baking traditional
recipes. If using an older recipe or
cookbook, set the oven temperature
10°C lower than the recommended
one. This will not change the cooking
duration.
Only bake on one level. If you are mak-
ing a tray bake, use level2.
Intensive bake
This function is suitable for baking
cakes with moist toppings, pizza,
quiche, etc.
Place the food in shelf level1.
Bottom heat
Use this function towards the end of
cooking to brown the base of the food.
Top heat
Use this function towards the end of
cooking to brown the top of the food
being cooked.
This function is suitable for gratins and
for browning bakes.
Cake plus
Use this function for baking batter and
frozen lye mixtures.
Eco Fan heat
This function is suitable for making
sweet and savoury bakes and gratins in
a way that saves energy.
Roasting
146
Tips for roasting
- Frozen meat must be defrosted be-
fore it is cooked as otherwise it
would dry out. Always defrost meat
before roasting.
- Remove skin and sinew before roast-
ing.
- Marinate and season the meat to
taste.
- If you are cooking several pieces of
meat together, use pieces that are
similar in size.
- Use the universal tray with the rack
placed on top of it. The oven com-
partment stays cleaner and you can
then use the meat juices collected to
make a gravy or sauce.
- Allow a standing time of approx.
10minutes before carving meat. This
resting time ensures the meat juices
are distributed evenly.
Notes on the functions
You can find an overview of all the func-
tions with their recommended values in
“Main and sub-menus”.
Combi mode
This function uses a combination of
oven heat and moisture. The addition of
steam prevents the surface of the food
from drying out. The results are particu-
larly tender and succulent meat with a
well-browned outside. Use the Combi
mode function for cooking meat,
fish and poultry dishes.
You can choose between different types
of heating:
- Combi Fan plus
- Combi Conventional
- Combi Grill
We recommend cooking meat slowly
and gently in several cooking stages: at
a high temperature during the 1st cook-
ing stage to brown the surface. The 2nd
cooking stage requires increased mois-
ture and a reduced temperature. The
meat cooks evenly and the muscle pro-
tein is broken down, making the meat
particularly tender.
Tip: Recipes and comprehensive cook-
ing charts with information on func-
tions, temperatures, moisture and cook-
ing durations can be found in the
“Steam combination oven” cookbook.
Roasting
147
Automatic programmes
Follow the instructions on the display.
Fan plus
This function is suitable for roasting
meat and poultry that needs to be well
browned.
Because the fan distributes the heat
around the oven compartment straight
away, it allows you to use a lower tem-
perature than you would with the Con-
ventional heatfunction.
Conventional heat
Use this function for baking traditional
recipes. If using an older recipe or
cookbook, set the oven temperature
10°C lower than the recommended
one. This will not change the cooking
duration.
Use the Bottom heatfunction to-
wards the end of the cooking duration
to brown the base of the food.
Do not use the Intensive bakefunc-
tion for roasting as the juices will be-
come too dark.
Roasting
148
Food probe
The food probe allows the temperature
to be monitored precisely during a
cooking programme.
How it works
The metal tip of the food probe must be
fully inserted into the centre of the food.
There is a temperature sensor in the
metal tip which measures the core tem-
perature of the food during cooking.
The core temperature set will depend
on how well cooked you want your
meat to be and on the type of meat.
The temperature can be set between
30and 99°C.
The cooking duration will depend on a
number of different factors. The higher
the temperature in the oven compart-
ment and the moisture, where applic-
able and the thinner the food, the
quicker the set core temperature will be
reached.
The core temperature values are sent
via a signal from the transmitter in the
handle of the food probe via the an-
tenna to the steam oven's electronic
unit as soon as the food with the food
probe is placed in the oven compart-
ment.
Efficient radio transmission is only guar-
anteed if the oven door is closed. If the
door is opened during a cooking pro-
gramme, e.g. to baste the food, radio
signal transmission is interrupted.
It will only resume when the door is
closed. It will take a few seconds before
the current core temperature appears
again in the display.
Damage due to high temperat-
ures.
The temperature sensor of the food
probe will be damaged at temperat-
ures over 100°C.
The food probe should be reinserted
in its holder when it is not being
used.
When to use the food probe
Some automatic programmes and spe-
cial applications will prompt you to use
the food probe.
You can also use the food probe with
User programmes and with the follow-
ing functions:
- Fan plus
- Conventional heat
- Combi Fan plus
- Combi Conventional
- Steam cooking
- Intensive bake
- Fan grill
- Cake plus

Important usage notes
To ensure the probe works correctly,
please observe the following instruc-
tions.
The metal tip of the food probe can
break.
Do not use the food probe to lift or
carry the food.
- Do not use tall, narrow metal cooking
containers as these can weaken the
signal.
- For wireless food probes, avoid pla-
cing metal objects above them, such
as a lid, aluminium foil, the wire rack
or the universal tray on the shelf
levels above. Glass lids can be used.
- Do not use another proprietary metal
food probe at the same time.
- Ensure that the handle of the food
probe is not sitting in the cooking li-
quid, on the food or on the edge of
the cooking container.
- You can place the meat in a pot or on
the rack.
- The metal tip of the food probe must
be fully inserted into the centre of the
food so that the temperature sensor
reaches more or less to the core. The
handle should point diagonally up-
wards and not horizontally towards
the corners of the oven or the door.
- When cooking poultry, insert the
metal tip into the thickest part of the
breast. Press the breast with your in-
dex finger and thumb to find the
thickest part.
- The metal tip must not touch any
bone or be inserted in areas with a lot
of fat. Heavily marbled areas and
bones can cause cooking to end pre-
maturely.
- If the meat is very heavily marbled
with fat, select the highest core tem-
perature given in the cooking charts.
- When using aluminium foil or roasting
bags, insert the food probe through
the foil/bag into the centre of the
food. You can also place meat inside
the bag or foil with the food probe
already inserted. Follow the roasting
bag manufacturer’s instructions.
- The food probe can only be inserted
almost horizontally in very flat pieces
of food such as fish. Therefore cook
flat food in glass or ceramic cooking
containers as the walls of a metal
cooking container would disrupt the
radio signals.
A message will appear in the display if
the food probe is no longer recog-
nised during a cooking process.
Change the position of the food probe
in the food.
Roasting
150
Using the food probe
Remove the food probe from its
holder behind the panel.
Insert the metal tip of the food probe
completely into the centre of the
food.
If you are cooking several pieces of
meat at the same time, insert the food
probe into the largest piece of meat.
The handle should be pointing diagon-
ally upwards.
Place the food in the oven compart-
ment.
Close the door.
Select the function or automatic pro-
gramme.
Set the temperature and the core
temperature if necessary.
The core temperature cannot be
changed for the automatic pro-
grammes.
Follow the instructions on the display.
The cooking programme is brought to
an end as soon as the core temperature
is reached.
Risk of injury caused by hot sur-
faces.
The handle of the food probe can get
hot. You can burn yourself on the
handle.
Wear oven gloves when removing
the food probe.
Tip: If the food is not cooked suffi-
ciently when the core temperature is
reached, insert the food probe into an-
other place or increase the core tem-
perature and repeat the programme.
Delaying the start of a cooking pro-
gramme with food probe
You can set the cooking programme to
start at a later time.
SelectStart at.
The finish time can be calculated ap-
proximately because the duration of a
cooking programme is about the same,
whether or not the food probe is used.
You cannot set Duration and Finish at be-
cause the total cooking duration is de-
termined by when the set core temper-
ature is reached.

Grilling tips
- Pre-heating is not necessary when
grilling. Place the food in the cold
oven compartment.
- Use the universal tray with the rack
placed on top of it. Exception: If you
are grilling on level3, insert the uni-
versal tray one level down from the
rack.
- When grilling fish, place the fish on a
piece of baking paper cut to size.
- Grill thick food, e.g. half a chicken, on
level2 and thin food, e.g. steaks, on
level3.
- Turn the food ²/₃ of the way through
the cooking duration. Exception: fish
does not need to be turned.
Tips for grilling
- Marinate lean meat or brush it with
oil. Do not use other types of fat as
they can burn and cause smoke.
- Pierce sausages before grilling.
- It is best to grill food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that
the grilling time for each item does
not vary too greatly.
- To test the food, press down on the
meat with a spoon. This lets you de-
termine how well the meat has been
cooked.
– Rare/pink
If the meat gives easily to the pres-
sure of the spoon, it will still be red
on the inside.
– Medium
If there is some resistance, the in-
side will be pink.
– Well done
If there is very little resistance, it is
cooked through.
- To grill thicker pieces of food more
gradually after an initial high temper-
ature, continue grilling at a lower
temperature setting or use a lower
shelf level to allow the food to cook
through to the centre.

Important information on
cleaning and care
Risk of injury caused by hot sur-
faces.
The steam oven gets hot during op-
eration. You could burn yourself on
the heater elements, oven compart-
ment, side runners or accessories.
Allow the heater elements, oven
compartment, side runners and the
accessories to cool before manual
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.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the steam oven.
Surfaces can discolour or alter if un-
suitable cleaning agents are used.
The front of the steam oven is partic-
ularly susceptible to damage from
oven cleaners and descaling agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass can in
some circumstances lead to break-
age.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
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.
Do not use commercial cleaning
agents. Only use agents designed for
domestic use.
Do not use cleaning agents or wash-
ing-up liquids containing aliphatic
hydrocarbons as these could cause
the seals to swell.
The steam oven and accessories
should be cleaned and dried thor-
oughly after each use.
Leave the appliance door open until
the oven compartment is completely
dry.
If the steam oven is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, it
should be thoroughly cleaned and
dried beforehand to prevent the build-
up of odours and so on. Leave the
door open afterwards.
Cleaning and care
157
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
- Cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
- Cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- Abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
- Solvent-based cleaning agents
- Stainless steel cleaning agents
- Dishwasher cleaner
- Glass cleaning agents
- Cleaning agents for ceramic glass
hobs
- Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges
(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
158
PerfectClean
The oven compartment, side runners,
universal tray and combi rack surfaces
are treated with PerfectClean. This
finish has an iridescent appearance.
PerfectClean surfaces have very good
anti-stick properties and are easy to
clean.
However, it is important to clean the
surfaces each time the oven is used.
The non-stick properties will deteriorate
if soiling is not removed from
PerfectClean surfaces after each use. If
used frequently without being cleaned,
cleaning may become very difficult.
Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures are best removed whilst the
oven compartment is still warm.
Spilt fruit juices may cause discoloura-
tion to the surfaces that cannot be re-
moved. However, this does not affect
the properties of the PerfectClean fin-
ish.
Always remove all cleaning agent
residues to protect the non-stick
properties.
To protect the non-stick effect of
PerfectClean surfaces, please avoid:
- abrasive cleaning agents (e.g.
powder cleaners, scouring milk,
scouring pads)
- cleaning agents for ceramic glass
hobs
- ceramic glass and stainless-steel
cleaners
- steel wool
- abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been previ-
ously used with abrasive cleaning
agents
- oven spray
- spot cleaning with mechanical clean-
ing agents
Do not clean PerfectClean accessor-
ies in the dishwasher.
Cleaning and care
159
Oven compartment
The surface of the oven compart-
ment has been treated with
PerfectClean.
Please see “PerfectClean” in the
“Cleaning and care” chapter for in-
structions on cleaning.
Ensure that no cleaning agent gets
into the openings on the oven com-
partment rear panel.
To make cleaning the oven compart-
ment easy, you can remove the oven
door, dismantle the side runners and
lower the top heat/grill element.
Cleaning after a programme using
steam
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 dry the oven compartment and
the inside of the door with a cloth.
Tip: You can then leave the steam oven
to dry automatically (see “Care” in the
“Cleaning and care” chapter).
Cleaning after a roasting, grilling or
baking programme
Clean the oven compartment thor-
oughly after roasting, grilling and
baking as otherwise soiling can burn
on and become impossible to re-
move.
Clean the oven compartment and in-
side of the door with a clean dish-
washing sponge, hot water and a
little washing-up liquid. You can use
the hard surface of a dishwashing
sponge to clean the oven compart-
ment if necessary.
After cleaning, wipe the surface with
clean water to remove any cleaning
agent residues.
Then dry the oven compartment and
the inside of the door with a cloth.
Tip: Soaking the soiling for a few
minutes with a solution of washing-up
liquid and hot water can make cleaning
easier. Alternatively, run the Mainten-
ance |Soak programme (see “Care”
in the “Cleaning and care” chapter).
Cleaning and care
160
Cleaning the floor filter
The filter in the floor of the oven
should be cleaned and dried after
every use.
Vinegar can be used to remove dis-
colouration and limescale deposits
from the filter in the floor of the oven.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water af-
terwards.
Cleaning the door seal
The door seal may become brittle
and tear on account of contact with
grease residues.
Clean the door seal between the in-
side of the oven door and the oven
compartment after every baking or
roasting programme.
Clean the door seal using a clean,
damp microfibre cloth without any
cleaning agent. You can also use a
clean sponge and warm water with a
little washing-up liquid.
After cleaning dry the seal with a soft
cloth.
Replace the seal with a new one if it
becomes porous or brittle.
Door seals can be ordered from the
Miele Customer Service Department
(see the end of these operating instruc-
tions for contact details).
Cleaning the water container
and condensate container
The water container and condensate
container are suitable for cleaning in a
dishwasher.
Remove the water container and con-
densate container after every use.
Remove the water container and con-
densate container by pushing them
upwards slightly.
Empty the water container and con-
densate container.
Water can drip into the water con-
tainer and condensate container com-
partment when removing the contain-
ers.
Dry the compartment if necessary.
Rinse the water container and con-
densate container by hand or in the
dishwasher.
Then dry the water container and
condensate container with a cloth to
prevent limescale.

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.
During the descaling process, the water
container must be rinsed out and re-
filled with fresh water. The condensate
container needs to be emptied.
