Warning and Safety instructions
7
This steam combination oven complies with all current local and
national safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead
to personal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the steam combination oven. They contain important
information on safety, installation, use and maintenance of the
appliance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the
steam combination oven.
In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in
“Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
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.
Correct application
This steam combination oven is designed for domestic use and for
use in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &
breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts.
This steam combination oven is not intended for outdoor use.
The steam combination oven is intended only to steam, bake,
roast, grill, defrost and reheat food.
Any other use is not permitted.
This steam combination oven is not intended for use by persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it.
They may only use the steam combination oven unsupervised if they
have been shown how to use it in a safe manner. They must be able
to recognise and understand the dangers of misuse.
The oven compartment is equipped with special lamps to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, 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 Miele.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
Safety with children
Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam combination oven inadvertently.
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the steam combination oven if its
operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use
it safely. They must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers of misuse.
Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the steam
combination oven. Never allow children to play with the steam
combination oven.
Risk of suffocation from packaging material. Whilst playing,
children may become entangled in packaging material (such as
plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with 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. External
parts of the steam combination oven such as the door glass, control
panel and the vent become quite hot. Do not let children touch the
steam combination oven when it is in operation.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation must be performed by a suitably qualified and competent
person. Maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele
authorised technician.
Damage to the steam combination oven can compromise your
safety. Check the steam combination oven for visible signs of
damage. Never use a damaged steam combination oven.
Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems.
The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their function and operation in
isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
The electrical safety of the steam combination oven can only be
guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective
earthing system. It is essential that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly. If in doubt, the electrical installation
should be checked by a qualified electrician.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the steam combination oven must match the mains electricity supply
in order to avoid the risk of damage to the steam combination oven.
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not
use these to connect the steam combination oven to the mains
electrical supply.
For safety reasons, this steam combination oven must only be
used after it has been built in.
This steam combination oven must not be installed and operated
in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live
connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical
components of the steam combination oven will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the steam combination oven housing under any
circumstances.
The manufacturer's warranty may be invalidated if the steam
combination oven is not repaired by a Miele approved service
technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
If the electrical plug is removed from the mains connection cable
or if the mains connection cable is supplied without a power plug, the
steam combination oven must be connected to the electrical supply
by a qualified electrician.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable by a qualified and competent
electrician in order to avoid a hazard (see “Installation - Electrical
connection”).
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the steam
combination oven must be completely disconnected from the mains
electricity supply. To ensure this:
- Switch off the mains circuit breaker, or
- remove the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is applicable),
or
- switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug. To do this, pull
the plug and not the mains connection cable.
If the steam combination oven is installed behind a furniture door,
do not close the door while the steam combination oven is in
operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture
door. This can potentially cause damage to the steam combination
oven, the furniture unit and the flooring. Leave the furniture door open
until the steam combination oven has cooled down completely.
Warning: If the lamps need to be replaced, ensure they are
replaced by a Miele approved service technician and that the
appliance is switched off beforehand to avoid the possibility of an
electric shock.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
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 cockroaches
or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
Correct use
Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam
combination oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself
on steam, the heating elements, oven compartment, accessories or
food.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it, and
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
Risk of injury caused by hot food.
Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or
removing it. The food can cause burns.
When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them, make
sure that the hot food does not spill.
Preserving and heating food in sealed tins will result in an increase
in pressure, which can cause them to explode. Do not use tins for
preserving or heating food.
Plastic dishes that are not suitable for use in an oven will melt and
may ignite at high temperatures and damage the steam combination
oven.
Use only plastic containers that are suitable for use in an oven. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you wish to use plastic containers for steam cooking, make sure
that these are heat-resistant to 100°C and able to withstand hot
steam. Other plastic containers can melt or become fragile and
brittle.
Food which is stored in the oven compartment can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam
combination 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.
The door can support a maximum load of 10kg. Do not lean or sit
on an open door, or place heavy items on it. Make sure that nothing
gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment. The
steam combination oven may get damaged.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the
steam combination oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats.
Never attempt to put out oil or fat fires with water. Switch the steam
combination oven off and extinguish the flames by leaving the door
closed.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam
combination oven could catch fire. Do not use the steam
combination 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
recommended cooking durations.
Certain foods dry out quickly and may catch fire due to high grilling
temperatures.
Never use a grill function to finish baking bake-off rolls or bread, or to
dry flowers or herbs. Use the Fan Plus or Conventional Heat
functions instead.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the door of the steam
combination oven if smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the
programme by switching the steam combination oven off and
disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do not open the door
until the smoke has dispersed.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on
the hot heating elements.
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
surface, 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,
near the steam combination oven, care should be taken that the
cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the steam combination
oven door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving
rise to an electric shock hazard.
The steam could reach live electrical components and cause a
short circuit. This could also destroy the electrical components. Do
not operate the steam combination oven without the lamp cover.
Cleaning and care
Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a
short circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning.
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 shelf runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care –
Cleaning the shelf runners”).
Refit the shelf 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 on the stainless steel surface.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation
of your steam combination oven.
Caring for the environment
14
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal,
and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also reduces
the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Only for Australia: Note for installer:
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) packaging
included. Please retain and dispose of
EPS packaging responsibly. For further
information, please contact Miele.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous to
human 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
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children while
being stored prior to disposal.

The maximum filling volume is 1.4litres
and the minimum is 1.0litre. There are
markings 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
appliance from cooking is pumped into
the condensate container. The container
has a maximum capacity of 1.4litres.
Temperature
Some functions are allocated with a
recommended temperature. The
recommended temperature can be
altered within the given range for an
individual cooking programme or
programme stage, or for every time that
programme is used You can alter the
recommended temperature in 5°C
increments, or 1°C increments in sous-
vide cooking (see “Settings –
Recommended temperatures”).
Moisture
The Combi modefunction and
Reheatapplication use a
combination of oven heat and moisture.
The moisture level can 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. With the moisture
setting=0%, the maximum fresh air
supply is implemented and no moisture
is supplied. With the moisture
setting=100%, there is no fresh air
supply and the moisture content is at its
maximum.
Some food gives off moisture during the
cooking process. This moisture from the
food affects the amount of additional
moisture needed. If the required amount
of moisture is low, the steam generator
may not be activated at all.
Description of the functions
26
Cooking duration
Depending on the function, you can set
a cooking duration of between 1minute
and 10 or 12hours.
The cooking durations of the Automatic
and Maintenance programmes are set
at the factory and cannot be altered.
When cooking with steam, as well as for
programmes and applications with pure
steam operation, the cooking duration
does not begin until the set temperature
is reached. It starts immediately for all
other functions, programmes and
applications.
Noises
A humming sound can be heard during
operation and after switching off the
steam combination oven. This noise
does not indicate incorrect operation or
an appliance fault. The noise is made by
water being pumped through the
system.
When the steam combination oven is in
use, you will hear a fan noise.
Heating-up phase
The display shows the temperature in
the oven compartment as it rises during
the heating-up phase in all functions
(exceptions: Full Grill, Economy Grill).
The duration of the heating-up phase
with steam cooking will depend on the
quantity and temperature of the food. In
general, the heating-up phase will take
approx. 7minutes. It will be longer if you
are cooking refrigerated or frozen food.
The heating-up phase may also take
longer when cooking at lower
temperatures and when cooking with
the Sous-vide function.
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
applications.
Steam reduction
With steam cooking and Combi mode,
the steam reduction function will switch
on automatically at the end of a cooking
programme which uses a temperature
within a certain temperature range. This
is to prevent a large amount of steam
escaping when the door is opened.
Steam reduction appears in the display.
Steam reduction can be switched off
(see “Settings - Steam reduction”).
When steam reduction is switched off, a
large amount of steam will escape when
the door is opened.
Oven interior lighting
For energy saving reasons, the oven
interior lighting has been set at the
factory to go out after the programme
has begun.
If you want the lighting to remain on
during cooking, the relevant factory
default setting needs to be changed
(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 touching the sensor
on the control panel.

Water hardness
To ensure that the steam combination oven works correctly and to ensure that
descaling is carried out at the correct interval, it must be set to the local water
hardness level. The harder the water is, the more frequently the steam combination
oven needs to be descaled. Contact your local water supplier to find out your local
water hardness range if necessary.
If you are using an on-site water softener, match the setting on the steam
combination oven to the value set on the water softener.
If you are using an on-site system to fully demineralise the water (e.g. a reverse
osmosis system), the system must be set so the conductivity of the treated water
is at least 100μS/cm. In the case of most water qualities, this can be achieved by
setting a water hardness of at least 0.54 mmol/l (3°dH) rather than fully
demineralising the water. The conductivity is required for the fill level detection in
the steam generator. Match the setting on the steam combination oven to the value
set on the full demineralisation system.
If you are using bottled water, it must comply with the relevant national
regulations for drinking water quality. Do not use mineral water or carbonated
water. Adjust the setting on the steam combination oven depending on the
calcium content. The calcium content is specified on the label of the bottle in
mg/l Ca
2+
or ppm (mg/lCaCO

Cooking programmes
- Remove any accessories from the
oven that are not required for a
cooking process.
- In general, if a range of temperatures
is given in a recipe or chart, it is best
to select the lower temperature and to
check the food after the shortest
duration.
- Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to
do so in the recipe or the cooking
chart.
- Avoid opening the door during a
cooking process.
- Dark, matt tins are best for baking.
They absorb the heat more effectively
and transmit it to the mixture more
quickly. Shiny materials such as
stainless steel or aluminium reflect
the heat, preventing it from reaching
the food efficiently. Do not cover the
oven floor or the rack with heat-
reflective aluminium foil.
- Monitor cooking durations to avoid
wasting energy when cooking food.
Set the cooking duration, or use a
food probe if you have one.
- The Fan Plus function can be used
for cooking many types of food.
Because the fan distributes the heat
in the oven compartment straight
away, it allows you to use a lower
temperature than you would with
Conventional Heat. It also enables you
to cook on several shelf levels at the
same time.
- Fan Grillis the best function for grilled
dishes. With Fan Grill you can use
lower temperatures than with 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 preparing small quantities
such as frozen pizza or cookie cutter
cookies. Do not open the door during
the cooking programme.
- You can use the Eco Steam cooking
function to save energy during steam
cooking. This function is suitable
mainly 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
prepare at the same time should, if
possible, be cooked one after the
other in order to make use of existing
heat in the oven.

General notes
54
This section contains general
information. You will find more detailed
information about particular foods and
how to cook them in the other sections.
The advantages of cooking with
steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are
retained as the food is not immersed in
water.
Cooking with steam also retains the true
taste of the food better than
conventional cooking. We therefore
recommend seasoning the food after it
has been cooked. Food also retains its
fresh, original colour.
Suitable containers
Cooking container
This steam combination oven is
supplied with stainless steel cooking
containers. Other containers, in a
variety of sizes, both perforated and
solid, are available as optional extras
(see "Optional accessories"). 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
combination oven.
- Thick-sided containers made from
porcelain, 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 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 surface
facing up and the cooking container
on top. You can also take the shelf
runners out to make more room (see
“Cleaning and care - Cleaning the
shelf runners”).
- 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
container.
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
duration.
When cooking with more than one deep
cooking container at the same time,
offset them to allow steam to circulate
properly. If possible, leave a shelf level
between the containers.
Always insert cooking containers, the
rack and the tray between the rails of
the shelf runners so that they cannot
tip.
General notes
55
Frozen
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
temperature. Some types of food, such
as berries, need to be cooked at lower
temperatures to prevent them from
bursting. See the relevant sections in
these operating instructions for more
details.
Duration
During steam cooking, the cooking
duration does not begin until the set
temperature is reached.
In general, the cooking durations for
cooking with steam are the same as for
cooking food in a saucepan. More
information 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 of
potatoes.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid, only fill the
cooking container ²/₃ full to prevent the
liquid spilling when the cooking
container is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes – steam
cooking
Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan
can also be cooked in the steam
combination oven. The cooking
durations in the steam combination
oven will be the same. Please note that
food will not be brown or crisp when
cooking with steam.
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
universal tray between the rails of a
shelf level and the combi rack will
automatically sit on top. When removing
them from the oven, pull both out
together.
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 upwards
and then pulling them out.

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. Exception: the
vegetables 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, divide the food
between 2 or 3 shallow containers
rather than using one deep one.
Different types of vegetables which take
the same length of time to cook can be
cooked together in one cooking
container.
Use solid containers for vegetables
which are cooked in liquid, e.g. cabbage.
Shelf level
When cooking vegetables with a
distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a
perforated container at the same time
as cooking other foods in other
containers, place the solid tray directly
underneath the perforated container to
catch any drips and therefore avoid any
colour transfer.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the
size of the food and how well cooked
you want it, just as it does with
conventional cooking methods.
Example:
Firm potatoes, cut into quarters:
approx. 12minutes
Firm potatoes, cut in half:
approx. 17minutes

Fish
Fresh
Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.
clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen
Fish does not need to be fully defrosted
before cooking. Defrost so that the
surface is sufficiently thawed to take
herbs and seasoning. Depending on the
thickness 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 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 or line it with baking paper.
Shelf level
When cooking fish in a perforated
container 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
liquid and so avoid any transfer of tastes
to other food.
Temperature
85°C – 90°C
For gently cooking delicate types of fish,
such as flounder.
100°C
For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.
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
3cm thick piece of fish weighing 500g
will take longer to cook than a 2 cm
thick piece of fish weighing 500g.
The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh
will become. Use the cooking durations
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
61
Useful tips
- Adding herbs and spices, such as dill,
will help bring out the full flavour of
the fish.
- Cook large fish in the swimming
position. To help maintain the
structure of the fish, place a small cup
or similar upside down in the cooking
container. Arrange the fish bellyside
down over the cup.
- You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish
heads, bones, tails etc. to make a fish
stock. Place the fish scraps together
with some mixed vegetables in a solid
cooking 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
involving cooking the fish in water
with vinegar, at different proportions
depending on the recipe. It is
important not to damage the skin of
the fish. This method is suitable for
cooking trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Meat
Fresh
Prepare the meat in the usual way.
Frozen food
Meat should be thoroughly defrosted
before cooking (see “Special
applications – Defrost”).
Preparation
Meat which needs to be seared before
being cooked, e.g. stewing steak, should
be seared in a pan on the cooktop.
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 500 g which is 5 cm thick.
Useful tips
- To retain the flavourings, use a
perforated cooking container. Place
an unperforated cooking container
underneath in order to collect the
concentrate. You can use the
concentrate to enhance your sauces
or freeze it for later use.
- Boiling chicken, 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 duration, the stronger the
stock.

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 so that none of the
nutrients are lost.
Cooking container
Use a solid cooking container. Smaller
quantities of rice (up to one cup, approx.
50-150 g) can alternatively be cooked in
a suitable stainless steel bowl on the
rack.
Preparation
Wash the rice before cooking. If you
wash the rice in the cooking container,
drain the water off carefully afterwards.
Useful tip: The required volume of liquid
can be determined using scales or the
"cup" method.
For the "cup method", first fill the
desired amount of rice into a cup and
then put the rice into the cooking
container. Then measure the required
volume of liquid (see chart) with the cup
and add it to the rice.
Make sure that the rice is evenly
distributed in the cooking container.

Menu cooking - manual
Before cooking meals with the
manual Menu cooking function,
switch off steam reduction (see
“Settings – Steam reduction”).
Menu cooking involves cooking various
foods with different cooking times in
order to serve them all together in one
meal, e.g. rosefish fillet with rice and
broccoli. Foods are placed in the oven
compartment at different times so that
they are all 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 the
universal tray. This avoids any transfer of
flavour or colour to other food by
preventing 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
majority of foods. Do not cook a whole
meal at the lowest temperature when
different temperatures are required for
different types of food, e.g. 85°C for
seabream and 100°C for potatoes.
If the recommended cooking
temperature for the food is 85°C for
example, try cooking it at 100°C and
testing the result. Some delicate types
of fish with a soft structure, e.g. flounder
will become very firm when cooked at
100°C.
Duration
If you increase the recommended
temperature, shorten the cooking
duration by approx. ¹/₃.
Example:
Food cooking durations

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
76
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
nutrients 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
refrigerator too long, e.g. during
transportation.
Use only heat-stable, boiling-
resistant vacuum bags.
Do not cook food in the sales
packaging, 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 bag more
than once.
Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber
system vacuum sealer only.
Important notes on use
For an optimum cooking result:
- Use herbs and spices more sparingly
than with conventional cooking
methods because the impact on the
taste of the food will be stronger.
You can also cook the food
unseasoned and add seasoning after
cooking.
- The cooking duration is reduced when
salt, sugar, and liquids are added.
- The food becomes firmer if acidic
foods, such as lemon or vinegar are
added.
- Do not use alcohol or garlic as this
can cause an unpleasant taste.
- Only use vacuum sealing bags that
match the size of the food. If the
vacuum bag is too big, too much air
can remain inside.
- If you want to cook several pieces of
food in one vacuum 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.
- Keep the door closed during the
cooking process. Opening the door
extends the cooking process and can
change the cooking result.
- Temperatures and cooking durations
from sous-vide recipes cannot always
be emulated exactly. Alter the settings
to achieve the degree of cooking you
want.
- With higher temperatures and/or
longer cooking durations, the
appliance may run low on water.
Check the display from time to time.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
77
Useful 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
before 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 weld 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 bag on
all sides for easier access to the food.
- Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish
(such as salmon) before serving. This
will help to develop a roasted aroma.
- Use the brine or marinade of
vegetables, fish, or meat to make a
sauce.
- Serve the food on pre-warmed plates.
Using the Sous-videfunction
Rinse the food with cold water and
dry it.
Place the food in a vacuum bag and
add spices or liquid if desired.
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 Sous-vide.
Change the recommended
temperature if necessary.
Confirm with OK.
Set further settings as necessary (see
“Operation”).
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
78
Possible causes for poor results
The vacuum bag has opened:
- The weld seam was not clean or
stable enough and came undone.
- 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 were added.
- The bag or weld seam were not in
perfect order.
- The vacuum was insufficient.
- The food was not eaten or chilled
immediately 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
colour may develop.
Foods with a short cooking time and
those which have a different degree of
doneness when reheated, e.g. fish, are
not suited to being reheated.
Preparation
Immediately after cooking, place the
food in ice cold water and leave for
approximately one hour. The rapid
cooling inhibits continued cooking of the
food. This means the ideal degree of
doneness of the food remains as it is.
Store the food afterwards in the
refrigerator at max. 3°C.
Please note that the quality of food
deteriorates the longer it is stored.
We recommend storing food in the
refrigerator for no longer than five
days before reheating it.

Reheat
To reheat food which was cooked
using the sous-vide method, use the
Sous-vide function (see “Sous-vide
– Reheating”).
The steam combination oven is very
effective at reheating 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.
Duration
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 subsequent plates as
the oven compartment will still be hot.
Moisture content
The more moist the food, the less
moisture that needs to be added.
Useful 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
capsicum 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
crispness when they are reheated.
Food does not need to be covered
before it is reheated.

Defrost
It is much quicker to defrost items in the
steam combination oven than at room
temperature.
Risk of infection from bacteria.
Bacteria such as salmonella can
cause life-threatening 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
during defrosting.
Process the food as required as soon
as it has been defrosted.
Temperature
60°C is the best temperature for
defrosting.
Exceptions: 50°C for minced meat and
game.
Before and after defrosting
Remove any packaging before
defrosting.
Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and
cakes in their packaging as otherwise
they will absorb moisture and become
soft.
Allow food to stand at room
temperature 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
universal tray underneath when
defrosting food which will drip, such as
poultry. This way food will not be lying in
defrosted liquid.
Foods which do not drip can be
defrosted in a solid cooking container.
Useful tips
- Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost 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 ready meals according
to the instructions on the packaging.

Mix & Match
The Mix & MatchSpecial application is
available to help with simple and
uncomplicated preparation of plated
meals. With this application, you can
reheat food that has already been
cooked (convenience food) or assemble
a portioned-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
hygienic. If you have any concerns,
dispose of the food.
Useful tip: We recommend using the
Miele App with the Mix & Match Special
application. You can use the Miele App
to interactively assemble your plated
meal from the widest range of
ingredients and transfer the programme
settings to your steam combination
oven.
To use this function, you need to
connect your steam combination oven
to your Wi-Fi network. To do this,
please refer to the instructions in
"Before using for the first time -
Miele@home".
If you are not using the Miele App, take
note of the following instructions and
assemble your plated meal with the help
of the cooking charts.
Cooking containers
Use:
- a flat plate or a small ovenproof dish
- a deep bowl or a cup for food that
requires liquid to be added
Baked goods, pizza, tarte flambée, etc.
can be placed directly on the rack (with
baking paper if necessary).
The plastic containers for ready
meals are not sufficiently heat-
resistant.
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
reheating stays crispy.
- The food should not exceed a height
of 2–2.5cm. Transfer taller food into
flat containers (e.g. casserole) or slice
it into smaller pieces (e.g. roulades,
bakes).
- Only reheat pasta mixed into a sauce.
- Droplets of water may have
accumulated underneath the crockery.
Dry the droplets of water before
serving.
Other applications
89
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
before 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
duration 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 differing
cooking durations with layering: place
food with a short cooking duration
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.
Assembling a plated meal using
various 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
elements of the meal, or at least
conditionally suitable.
We recommend using the following
procedure:
Select a main ingredient based on the
cooking charts, e.g. steak.
Select other ingredients which have
the corresponding settings for
browning, 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
processed 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
segments. 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:

Menu cooking – automatic
When cooking a menu automatically,
you can combine up to 3different foods
in a single menu, e.g. fish fillet with rice
and vegetables.
With menu cooking, the food is placed
in the steam combination oven at
different times so that each item is
ready at the same time.
You can select items of food in any
order, because the steam combination
oven sorts them according to cooking
duration and indicates when each item
has to be placed in the oven.
The Finish at and Start at functions are
not available with menu cooking.

When using perforated containers to
cook foods that produce a lot of liquid
or have a distinctive colour, be sure to
place them over the universal tray.
This avoids any transfer of flavour or
colour to other food by preventing
liquid dripping onto food below it.
At the end of the heating-up phase, the
steam combination 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

Bottling
Only use unblemished, fresh produce
which is in good condition.
Glass jars
Use clean glass jars and accessories
and check them for any defects. Glass
jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a
rubber seal are suitable.
Make sure that all the glass jars are the
same size so that bottling is carried out
evenly.
After you have filled the jars with the
bottled produce, clean the glass rims
with a clean cloth and hot water and
then seal the jars.
Fruit
Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but
thoroughly and allow it to drain. Take
great care when cleaning soft fruit as it
is very delicate 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
otherwise it will burst.
Vegetables
Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.
Vegetables should be blanched before
bottling to help them retain their colour
(see “Special applications –
Blanching”).
Fill volume
Fill the glass jars with produce up to no
more than 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.
Meat and sausages
Briefly fry or cook the meat before
bottling. Use the juices with some
added water, or the broth in which the
meat was cooked, as the liquid content
of the jars. Make sure there is no grease
on the rim of the jars.
When bottling sausages, only fill the jars
to halfway as the meat will rise during
the bottling process.
Useful tips
- Make use of residual heat by leaving
the jars in the oven for 30minutes
after it has switched off.
- Then cover the jars with a cloth and
allow to cool for approx. 24hours.
Bottling food
Place a perforated container or the
rack on level1.
Place the closed jars in the perforated

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.
The jars need to have a bottling ring, glass lid and a spring lock clip to be sealed.
Make sure that all the jars are the same size so that the bottling process is carried
out evenly.
Grease the inside of the jars with butter up to 1cm below the rim.
Sprinkle inside the jars with fine breadcrumbs.
Fill the jars ¹/₂ to ²/₃ full with mixture (depending on recipe). Make sure the rim
stays clean.
Place the rack on 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 securely.
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.

Extracting juice
The steam combination oven is ideal for
extracting juice from soft and firm 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 rinse the fruit, and cut out any
blemishes.
Remove the stalks from grapes and
morello cherries as these are bitter.
Berries do not need to have their stalks
removed.
Dice larger fruit such as apples into
approximately 2cm cubes. The harder
the fruit, the smaller the pieces should
be.
Useful tips
- Try experimenting with mild and tart
flavours. For example, mix apples with
elderberries.
- Adding sugar will increase the
quantity 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
up to the rim, and then seal
immediately with sterilised rubber
tops.
Extracting juice from fruit
Put the prepared fruit (cleaned,
washed, chopped etc.) into a
perforated cooking container.
Place a solid cooking container or the

Dismantle baby bottles into their
individual parts. Do not reassemble the
bottles until they are completely dry.
This is the only way to prevent them
from getting reinfected.
Place the individual items on the rack

Make yoghurt
To prepare yoghurt, you will need milk
and live culture or yoghurt starter
powder, e.g. from a health food store.
Use natural yogurt with live culture and
without additives. Do not use heat-
treated yogurt.
The yoghurt must be fresh (short
storage 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 while the
yoghurt is fermenting.
Immediately after preparation, leave the
yoghurt to cool in the fridge.
The firmness, fat content and cultures
used in the yoghurt starter all affect the
consistency of homemade yoghurt. Not
all yoghurts are equally suitable as
yoghurt starters.
Useful tip: If you are using yoghurt
starter powder, you can prepare the
yoghurt from a mixture of milk and
cream. For that, mix ³/₄ litre milk with ¹/
₄ litre cream.
Mix 100 g yoghurt with 1litre of milk
or make up the mixture with yoghurt
enzyme, following the instructions on
the packaging.
Pour the mixture into glass jars and
seal the jars.
Place the sealed jars in a perforated
cooking container or on the rack. The
jars must not touch each other.
Straight after the cooking duration
has finished, place the jars in the
refrigerator. Take care not to shake the
jars unnecessarily.

packaging was damaged, milk was
insufficiently heated.
Liquid has not been removed:
Jars were moved, the yoghurt cooled
down too slowly.
Yoghurt is grainy:
The milk was heated too high, it was not
free of imperfections, the milk and
yoghurt starter were not stirred evenly.

Baking
116
Handling food carefully will help
protect your health.
Cakes, pizzas and chips should be
cooked until golden, not dark brown.
Baking guidelines
- 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
effectiveness.
- Generally, you can use the rack,
universal tray and any type of baking
tray made of heat-resistant material.
- Always place bakeware 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 2 levels at
once. When baking cakes with a moist
topping, only bake on one level.
Using baking paper
Miele accessories, e.g. the universal
tray, are treated with PerfectClean
enamel (see “Cleaning and care”).
Surfaces treated with PerfectClean
enamel generally do not need to be
greased or covered with baking paper.
Use baking paper when cooking:
- lye mixtures because anything
prepared using a lye containing
sodium hydroxide can damage the
PerfectClean surface
- mixtures with a high egg white
content, 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
117
Tips on baking
- Dark, matt tins are best for baking.
Avoid using bright, thin-walled tins as
they give an uneven or poor browning
result. In certain unfavourable
conditions, the food will not cook
properly.
- Place cakes in rectangular tins on the
rack with the longer side across the
width of the oven for optimum heat
distribution and even results.
- When cooking frozen food such as
chips, croquettes, cakes, pizza and
baguettes, select the medium
temperature quoted on the
manufacturer'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
batter/dough on it, the food is done.
Notes on the oven functions
You can find an overview of all the
functions 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 crispy
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 first cooking stage
thanks to the injection of steam
(maximum moisture, low temperature).
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.
Useful tip: Recipes and comprehensive
cooking charts with information on
functions, temperatures, moisture and
cooking durations can be found in the
Miele cookbook/recipe booklet
“Bake, roast, steam”.

118
Automatic programmes
Follow the instructions in the display.
Fan Plus
Use this function if you are baking on
multiple shelf levels 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
temperature than you would with the
Conventional Heatfunction.
Conventional Heat
Use this function for cooking traditional
recipes. If using an older recipe or
cookbook, set the oven temperature
10°C lower than that recommended.
This will not change the cooking
duration.
Only bake on one level. If you are
making a tray bake, use shelf level2.
Intensive Bake
This function is suitable for baking cakes
with moist toppings, pizza, quiche, etc.
Place the food on 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 food.
This function is suitable for gratins and
for browning bakes.
Cake Plus
Use this function for baking creamed
and frozen lye mixtures.
Eco Fan Heat
Use this function for cooking small
amounts of food, e.g. frozen pizzas or
biscuits, while saving energy.
Roasting
119
Roasting tips
- Never roast frozen meat as it will dry
out. Always defrost meat before
roasting.
- Remove skin and sinew before
roasting.
- Marinate and season the meat to
taste.
- If you are roasting several pieces of
meat together, select pieces that have
a similar thickness.
- Use the universal tray with the rack
placed on top of it. The oven
compartment 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 oven functions
You can find an overview of all the
functions 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
particularly 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 first
cooking stage to brown the surface. The
second cooking stage requires
increased moisture and a reduced
temperature. The meat cooks evenly
and the muscle protein is macerated,
making the meat particularly tender.
Useful tip: Recipes and comprehensive
cooking charts with information on
functions, temperatures, moisture and
cooking durations can be found in the
Miele cookbook/recipe booklet
“Bake, roast, steam”.

Grilling
121
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
If you open the appliance door during
grilling, the controls will get very hot.
Keep the door closed during the
grilling programme.
Grilling tips
- Always pre-heat for at least 5minutes
before grilling.
- Use the universal tray with the rack
placed on top of it. Exception: If you
are grilling on shelf level3, insert the
universal 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
shelf level2 and thin food, e.g. steaks,
on shelf level3.
- Turn the food ²/₃ of the way through
the cooking duration. Exception: It is
not necessary to turn food when using
Fan Grill or grilling fish.
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
determine how well the meat has

Notes on cleaning and care
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
The steam combination oven gets
hot during operation. You could burn
yourself on the heating elements,
oven compartment, shelf runners or
accessories.
Allow the heating elements, oven
compartment, shelf runners and the
accessories to cool down before
manual cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the steam combination oven.
All surfaces could be discoloured or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used. The front of the
steam combination oven is
particularly susceptible to damage
from oven cleaners or descaling
agents.
All surfaces of this appliance are
susceptible to scratching. Scratches
on glass surfaces could cause a
breakage in certain circumstances.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
immediately.
Stubborn soiling could damage the
steam combination 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 unnecessarily
difficult and in some cases
impossible.
Do not use commercial cleaning
agents. Only use cleaning agents
designed for domestic use.
Do not use cleaning agents or
washing-up liquids containing
aliphatic hydrocarbons as these
could cause the seals to swell.
The steam combination oven and
accessories should be cleaned and
dried thoroughly after each use.
Leave the appliance door open until
the oven interior is completely dry.
If you use mostly steam cooking
programmes and do not use the
HydroClean maintenance programme,
you should carry out a cooking
process at least once a year at a
temperature of 225°C to remove any
moisture from inaccessible areas of
the steam combination oven.
If the steam combination 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
125
Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your
appliance, do not use:
- cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder
cleaners and cream cleaners
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaners
- glass cleaning agents
- cleaning agents for ceramic cooktops
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges
which have been previously used with
abrasive cleaning agents
- dirt eraser sponges
- sharp metal scrapers
- steel wool
- stainless steel spiral pads
- spot cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
- oven cleaners and sprays
Cleaning the 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.
Useful tip: A clean, damp microfibre
cloth without cleaning agent can also be
used.
Cleaning and care
126
PerfectClean
The surfaces of the universal tray and
the combi rack have been treated with
PerfectClean. This finish has an
iridescent appearance. PerfectClean
surfaces have very good non-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.
Spilt fruit juices may cause
discolouration to the surfaces that
cannot be removed. However, this does
not affect the properties of the
PerfectClean finish.
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 and cream cleaners
- cleaning agents for ceramic cooktops
- ceramic glass and stainless steel
cleaners
- steel wool or metal scourers
- abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
- oven sprays
- spot cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
Do not clean PerfectClean
accessories in the dishwasher.
Cleaning and care
127
Oven compartment
It is normal for the oven compartment
to take on a yellowish discolouration
after extensive use. This will not affect
functionality in any way.
Ensure that no cleaning agent gets
into the openings on the oven
compartment rear panel.
To make cleaning the oven
compartment easier, you can remove
the oven door, dismantle the shelf
runners and lower the top heat/grill
element.
Cleaning after a programme using
steam
Remove:
- condensate using a sponge or
absorbent cloth,
- light, greasy soiling with a 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.
Useful tip: You can then dry the oven
compartment automatically using the
Drying maintenance programme (see
"Maintenance").
Cleaning after a roasting, grilling or
baking programme
Clean the oven compartment
thoroughly after roasting, grilling and
baking as otherwise soiling can burn
on and become impossible to
remove.
Clean the oven compartment and
inside of the door with a clean
washing-up sponge, hot water and a
little washing-up liquid. You can use
the hard surface of a washing-up
sponge to clean the oven
compartment 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.
Useful 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 Other |
Maintenance | Soak programme.
For heavy, stubborn soiling we
recommend cleaning the oven
compartment using the HydroClean
maintenance programme (see
"Maintenance").
Cleaning and care
128
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
discolouration and limescale deposits
from the filter in the floor of the oven.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water
afterwards.
Cleaning the door seal
The door seal may become brittle
and tear on account of contact with
grease residues.
Clean the door seal after every
roasting, grilling or baking
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.
Check whether the door seal is
correctly installed.
If necessary, press it in all the way
round the door to make sure it is
smooth and even.
If the door seal shows signs of

minutes.
Descaling
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
descaling process. Other descaling
agents, which contain other acids
besides citric acid and/or other
undesirable substances, such as
chlorides, could cause damage to the
product. Moreover, the descaling
result 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 combination 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. Only
cooking processes that use steam are
counted. The steam combination oven
will lock after the last remaining cooking
process.
We recommend descaling the steam
combination oven before it is disabled.
Descaling takes approx. 41minutes.
During the descaling process, the water
container must be rinsed out and refilled
with fresh water. The condensate
container needs to be emptied.
Cleaning and care
133
Starting the descaling process

Instead of cleaning the oven by hand,
you can run the HydroClean maintenance
programme.
Odours after cooking fish, and also
heavy, stubborn soiling, e.g. from
roasting and grilling, can be easily
removed using this programme.
We recommend cleaning the steam
combination oven four times per year
with HydroClean. If necessary, this
cleaning can be carried out more
frequently.
Only the Miele HydroCleaner can be
used for cleaning with HydroClean.
This cleaning agent has been
specially developed for your steam
combination oven.
Other cleaning products can damage
the steam combination oven.
One bottle of Miele HydroCleaner is
supplied with your steam combination
oven. Subsequent bottles of Hydro-
Cleaner are available to order from the
Miele online shop or directly from Miele
(see back cover for contact details).
Risk of injury caused by cleaning
agent.
The HydroCleaner causes skin and
eye irritation.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Rinse the affected area thoroughly
with water and seek medical
attention in the case of continued
eye irritation.
Keep the HydroCleaner out of the
reach of children.
Always use the complete contents of
one bottle of HydroCleaner (125ml),
regardless of the degree of soiling.
The amount of cleaning agent
(125ml) is intended for the entire
cleaning process and must not be
altered.
You can choose between 3 cleaning
levels with different durations:
- Degree of soiling 1 for light, barely
visible soiling and odours, e.g. after
cooking fish or cabbage
Duration: approx. 1:57hours
- Degree of soiling 2 for visible, but not
heavily burnt on soiling, e.g. melted
pizza cheese, leaked fruit pie
Duration: approx. 3:17hours
- Degree of soiling 3 for heavy, burnt
on soiling from different types of food
that has built up over a long period of
time, e.g. after roasting chicken
Duration: approx. 4:17hours
Cleaning and care
135
Cleaning process sequence
HydroClean proceeds in several phases:
1. Preparation
2. Cleaning phase
3. Rinsing phase
4. Subsequent manual cleaning
5. Drying phase
The steam combination oven will guide
you through the entire cleaning process.
As preparation, for example, you will be
prompted to remove accessories from
the oven compartment and to pour the
cleaner through the floor filter.
When all preparations are finished, the
cleaning phase will start. The door will
lock automatically. The cleaner is mixed
with fresh water and sprayed
throughout the entire oven
compartment by the distribution fan on
the oven ceiling. This procedure is
repeated several times.
The rinsing phase begins when the time
remaining is 1:20 hours. Soiling and
cleaning agent residues are flushed out
of the oven compartment. At the
beginning of and during this phase the
water container needs to be filled
several times with fresh tap water and
the condensate container needs to be
emptied.
The last phase is the drying phase. It
begins with a remaining time of approx.
30minutes. In order to remove coarse
soiling residues, the oven compartment
needs to be wiped out with a soft cloth
before the start of the drying phase.
If you switch off the steam
combination oven, the cleaning
process will be cancelled. After
switching the steam combination oven
back on again, the rinsing and drying
phases are carried out automatically to
remove any potential cleaning agent
residues. Normal operation is only
possible again upon completion (see
"Problem solving guide - Messages in
the display").

Safety instructions for installation
Risk of damage from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the steam combination
oven.
The steam combination oven must only be installed by a qualified
person.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the steam combination oven must match the mains electricity supply
in order to avoid the risk of damage to the steam combination oven.
Compare this data before connecting the appliance. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not
use these to connect the steam combination oven to the mains
electrical supply.
The socket and on-off switch should be easily accessible after the
steam combination oven has been installed.
The steam combination oven must be positioned so that you can
see the contents of a cooking container placed on the top shelf level.
Otherwise there is a risk of injuries or spillages of hot food.

Installing the steam
combination oven
Connect the mains connection cable
to the steam combination oven.
Risk of damage from incorrect
transportation.
Carrying the steam combination oven
by the door handle could damage the
door.
Use the handle cut-outs on the side
of the casing to lift the appliance.
The steam generator may
malfunction if the steam combination
oven is not on a level surface.
The maximum deviation from the
horizontal that can be tolerated is 2°.
Push the steam combination oven
into the installation niche and align.
When doing so, make sure that the
mains connection cable does not get
trapped or damaged.
Open the door.
Secure the steam combination oven
to the side walls of the unit using the
wood screws supplied (3.5x25mm).
Connect the steam combination oven
to the mains electricity supply.
Check the steam combination oven
for correct function in accordance
with the operating instructions.
Installation
*INSTALLATION*
157
Electrical connection
The steam combination oven is supplied
with a mains connection cable with
moulded plug ready for connection to a
suitable earthed socket.
The socket should be easily accessible
after the steam combination oven has
been installed. If the socket is not easily
accessible, ensure that a suitable
means of disconnection is provided on
the installation side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating.
Connecting the steam combination
oven to a multi-socket adapter or to
an extension cable can overload the
cables.
For safety reasons, do not use an
extension cable or multi-socket
adapter.
All electrical work must be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with
national and local safety regulations.
For safety reasons, we recommend
using a suitable residual current
device (RCD) in the relevant electrical
installation for connecting the steam
combination oven.
If the mains connection cable is
damaged, it must only be replaced with
a specific mains connection cable of the
same type (available from Miele). For
safety reasons, such replacement may
only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent electrician or a
Miele authorised service technician, in
order to avoid a hazard.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the connection
data. Compare this information with the
data of the on-site electrical connection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation with
a self-sufficient or non-mains
synchronous energy supply system (e.g.
isolated networks, back-up systems) is
possible. A requirement for the
operation is that the energy supply
system complies with all current local
and national requirements that apply to
stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the
domestic installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their
function and operation in isolated
operation or in non-mains synchronous
operation, or replaced with equivalent
measures in the installation.
