Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Warning and Safety instructions
8
Correct application
This steam oven is 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.
The steam oven is not suitable for outdoor use.
The steam oven is intended only to steam, defrost, reheat and
cook food.
Any other use is not permitted.
Fire hazard due to flammable materials.
If flammable items were dried using microwave power, the moisture
in the items would evaporate. This could cause the materials to dry
out and possibly self-ignite.
Never use the steam oven to store or dry items which could ignite
easily.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible
for their safety, and are able to recognise 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
9
Safety with children
Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam oven inadvertently.
Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
Older children may only use the appliance 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 caused by incorrect operation.
Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do
not let them play with it.
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. During
operation, steam will escape out of the ventilation outlet. The door
glass and control panel of the steam oven heat up.
Do not let children touch the steam oven when it is in operation.
Keep children well away from the steam oven until it has cooled
down and there is no danger of injury.
Risk of injury from the open door. The oven door can support a
maximum weight of 8kg. Children could injure themselves on an
open door.
Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
Technical safety
Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
Radiation by microwaves:
Service or repairs which necessitate the removal of any casing or the
door must only be carried out by a suitably trained service
technician.
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for any
visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged
appliance.
Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage. If any
damage is noticed, the oven should not be used again in any oven
function using microwave power until the fault has been rectified by
a service technician.
Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the steam oven if:
– the door is warped,
– the front of the oven compartment is dented or bowed,
– the door hinges are loose,
– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door, the door seal or
the oven interior walls,
– there is moisture between the door panes.
Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
11
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches 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 appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance 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 plug has been removed or the connection cable is not
supplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to the
mains supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
Warning and Safety instructions
12
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable (see “Installation – Electrical
connection”).
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance 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 a closed furniture door. 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
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
Correct use
Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven
gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the oven
compartment, shelf runners, accessories, food or steam.
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.
Risk of injury due to hot water.
At the end of a cooking programme, hot water left in the steam
generator is pumped back into the water container. Take care not to
tip the water container when taking it out of the appliance.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing
damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.
Plastic dishes which are not heat-resistant and steam-resistant
melt at high temperatures and can damage the appliance.
Use only heat-resistant (to 100°C) and steam-resistant plastic
dishes for steam cooking. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam oven.
Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use any
cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
Warning and Safety instructions
14
The door can support a maximum load of 8kg. Do not sit on or
lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.
Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and
the oven compartment. The steam oven could get damaged.
When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,
near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the
appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock
hazard.
Microwave function
Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively
long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could
even cause it to catch fire.
The Microwave function is used to reheat food and
beverages. Do not use the Microwave function for drying
flowers, herbs, bread or other flammable materials which could
catch fire and cause injury by burning.
It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing a
sufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be added
to the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking.
During the standing time, the temperature is distributed evenly in the
food.
Warning and Safety instructions
15
Risk of injury caused by hot food. When heating food up, the heat
is created directly in the food itself. For this reason, the crockery will
remain cooler than the food (except when using ovenproof
stoneware). The crockery is only warmed by the heat of the food.
Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food
itself after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container
is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This
is particularly important when heating food for babies, children,
and the elderly or infirm. After reheating food, especially food for
babies and small children, stir the food or shake the container and
check that the temperature does not pose any danger of burning.
Double check after it has been left to stand.
The Microwave function is not suitable for cleaning or
disinfecting items because it may involve high temperatures. There is
a risk of burning when items are removed from the oven.
Risk of injury from increased pressure in sealed containers or
bottles. Pressure can build up when reheating food or drinks in
sealed containers, jars or bottles, which can cause them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand. In the case of baby bottles, the screw
top and teat must be removed.
When heating food, and in particular liquids, using the
Microwavefunction, the boiling point may be reached without
the production of typical bubbles. Liquids do not boil evenly
throughout. This boiling delay can result in the liquid boiling over
explosively. Take care when taking the container out of the oven, as
the hot liquid can cause severe scalding. Under certain
circumstances, the pressure can be so high that the door opens
automatically.
Stir liquids well before reheating or cooking. After heating, wait at
least 20seconds before removing the container from the oven. In
addition, a glass rod or similar item, if available, can be placed in the
container during heating.
Warning and Safety instructions
16
Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power
only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven.
They can only be cooked in their shells using the Steam cooking
function or in an appropriate Automatic programme. Hard-boiled
eggs must not be reheated with microwave power either as they too
will explode, even after taking them out of the oven.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,
potatoes and eggplants can burst when heated or cooked.
Pierce or score the skin of these types of food several times to allow
steam to escape.
Do not use the Microwave function to heat up cushions or
pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such as
those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated
even after they have been removed from the oven.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if there is
smoke inside the steam oven. Interrupt the programme by switching
the steam oven off and disconnect it from the mains electricity
supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
Crockery and lids with hollow handles or knobs can collect
moisture in the hollow spaces. When the moisture evaporates,
pressure can build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess
is sufficiently ventilated, the item can be used.
Do not use crockery with hollow knobs or handles when using the
Microwave function.
Warning and Safety instructions
17
Non-microwave safe plastic dishes can sustain damage or
damage the steam oven if used with the Microwave function and
microwave functions.
Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics,
wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper covered
wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the
foil lid only partially removed (see “Microwave operation - Suitable
containers for microwave use”).
Fire hazard due to containers made of flammable materials.
Plastic disposable containers must meet the requirements specified
for crockery in “Microwave operation - Suitable containers for
microwave use”.
Do not leave the steam oven unattended when heating or cooking
food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other
inflammable materials.
Heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil
that reflects microwave radiation. Because of this, the paper
surrounding the aluminium foil can become so hot that it combusts.
Do not use heat-retaining packaging, such as bags for grilled
chicken, for warming food with functions that use microwave power.
If the steam oven is used without food or the food is loaded
incorrectly when using the Microwave function or functions that
use microwave power, the steam oven can become damaged. Do
not use the Microwave function or functions that use microwave
power to pre-heat crockery or to dry herbs. Never start the
Microwave function when the oven compartment is empty.
Warning and Safety instructions
18
Cleaning and care
Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach 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.
The shelf runners fit into plastic bushes. Check the bushes
carefully for damage. If the bushes are damaged, do not use any
microwave functions until the bushes have been replaced.
Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids
containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to
avoid corrosion 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.
Caring for the environment
19
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.
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.

Steam cooking function
Water container
The maximum filling volume is 1.5litres
and the minimum is 0.5litre. 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.
The water container is removed using a
push/pull system: push gently on the
water container to remove it.
At the end of a cooking programme, hot
water left in the steam generator is
pumped back into the water container.
The water container must be emptied
after each use involving steam.
Temperature
Some functions 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”).
Duration
You can set the cooking duration from
1minute (00:01) to 10hours (10:00). If
the cooking duration exceeds
59minutes, you have to enter it in hours
and minutes. Example: Cooking
duration 80minutes = 1:20.
During steam cooking, the cooking
duration does not begin until the set
temperature is reached.
Noises
You will hear a pumping sound when
the appliance is switched on, during
use and after switching it off. This is the
sound of water being pumped through
the system and is quite normal.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.
Description of the functions
33
Heating-up phase
During the heating-up phase the display
will show Heating up and the
temperature in the oven compartment
as it rises.
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 cooking phase begins when the set
temperature is reached. During the
cooking phase, the duration remaining
will be shown in the display.
Steam reduction
If you are cooking at a temperature
above approx. 80°C, the steam oven
door will automatically open a little
shortly before the end of the cooking
duration to allow some of the steam to
escape. Steam reduction appears in the
display. The door will then close
automatically.
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.
Description of the functions
34
Microwave power
How it works
The steam oven contains a magnetron
that converts electrical energy into
electromagnetic waves (microwaves).
These microwaves are distributed
evenly throughout the oven
compartment and are reflected off the
metal appliance walls.
The microwaves penetrate the food
from all sides. Food consists of many
molecules. When subjected to
microwave energy, these molecules
(particularly the water molecules) start
to oscillate. This heats the food from
the outside to the inside. The more
water a food contains, the faster it is
heated or cooked.
Advantages of the microwave oven
– Food can generally be cooked with
little or no liquid or cooking oil.
– The times for defrosting, reheating or
cooking are shorter than with a
cooktop or oven.
Suitable crockery
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate the
crockery being used. Microwaves can
pass through porcelain, glass,
cardboard and plastics, but not metal.
Therefore, do not use metal containers
or crockery that contains metal. Metal
reflects the microwaves which can
create sparks and the microwaves are
not absorbed by the metal.
Risk of injury from increased
pressure in sealed containers or
bottles.
Pressure can build up when
reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers, jars or bottles, which can
cause them to explode.
Never cook or reheat solid or liquid
food in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand. In the
case of baby bottles, the screw top
and teat must be removed.
Fire hazard due to using
unsuitable crockery in the
Microwave function.
Non-microwave safe dishes used in
microwave mode can suffer damage
or cause damage to the steam oven.
Only use microwave safe crockery in
the Microwave function.
The material and shape of containers
used affect cooking results and times.
Heat distribution is more even in round
and oval shaped flat containers than in
rectangular containers, providing better
results.
Description of the functions
35
Suitable containers
Fire hazard due to inflammable
materials.
Disposable containers made out of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials can ignite, causing damage
to the steam oven.
Do not leave the steam oven
unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable materials.
You can use the following crockery and
material:
– Heat-resistant glass and ceramic
glass
Exception: crystal glass as it contains
lead and may crack.
– Porcelain
– Without metallic decoration
Metallic decoration (e.g. gold rims
or cobalt blue) can cause sparking.
– Without hollow knobs and handles
Moisture can gather in the hollow
knobs and handles. When the
moisture evaporates, pressure can
build up and the item can explode.
– Unpainted stoneware and stoneware
with underglaze paints
Risk of injury caused by hot
crockery.
Earthenware can get very hot and
may crack.
Wear oven gloves when using
stoneware.
– Plastic containers and plastic
disposable containers with the
Microwavefunction
Useful tip: To protect the environment,
avoid the use of disposable containers.
Plastic dishes and bags that are not
heat-resistant may deform and fuse
with the food inside.
Only use plastic containers or bags
that are heat-resistant. The plastic
containers and bags must be able to
withstand temperatures of at least
110°C.
– Microwave safe plastic containers
Special plastic containers designed
for use in microwave ovens are
available from retail outlets.
– Styrofoam containers
For briefly heating food.
– Plastic boiling bags
For cooking and reheating. They
should be pierced beforehand. The
holes allow the steam to escape. This
prevents a build-up of pressure from
forming and the bag from bursting.
There are also special bags available
for steam cooking which do not need
to be pierced. Please follow the
instructions given on the packet.
– Roasting bags and tubes
Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Description of the functions
36
Fire hazard due to metal parts.
Metal parts such as metal clips or
plastic and paper ties that have wire
running through them can heat
inflammable materials until they burn.
Do not use metal clips, or plastic and
paper ties containing wire.
– The rack and cooking containers
supplied are only suitable for
cooking programmes in the Rapid
steam cooking function and in
functions that do not use microwave
power.
– Aluminium foil trays without lids for
defrosting and reheating ready meals
The food is only heated from the top.
If you remove the food from the
aluminium foil container and transfer
it to crockery suitable for use in a
microwave oven, the heat distribution
will generally be more even.
Using aluminium foil trays and
aluminium foil can cause crackling
and sparks.
Place aluminium foil trays on the
glass tray.
Aluminium foil and aluminium foil
trays must not touch the oven
compartment walls and must remain
at least 2cm from the walls at all
times.
– Metal meat skewers or clamps
The size of the cut of meat must be
much larger than the metal skewers
and clamps.
Unsuitable containers
Crockery and lids with hollow
handles or knobs can collect
moisture in the hollow spaces. When
the moisture evaporates, pressure
can build up and the item can
explode. If the hollow recess is
sufficiently ventilated, the item can
be used.
Do not use crockery with hollow
knobs or handles for cooking.
Do not use the following crockery and
material:
– Metal racks (including the supplied
rack) are not suitable for use with the
Microwavefunction.
– Containers made from metal and
stainless steel (including the cooking
containers supplied) are not suitable
for use with the Microwave
function.
– Aluminium foil
Exception: for even defrosting,
reheating or cooking unevenly
shaped cuts of meat, e.g. poultry,
small pieces of aluminium foil may be
used to cover thin parts for the last
few minutes of the programme.
– Metal clips, plastic or paper ties
containing wire
– Plastic containers where the
aluminium lid has not been
completely removed
– Crystal glass
– Cutlery and crockery with metallic
decoration (e.g. gold rims, cobalt
blue)
Description of the functions
37
– Crockery with hollow handles
– Plasticware made of melamine
Melamine absorbs microwave energy
and gets hot.
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a
microwave oven.
– Non-heat-resistant plastic containers
and bags
– Wooden dishes
Water contained in wood evaporates
during the cooking programme. This
causes the wood to dry and crack.
Placing a dish in the oven
Place the glass tray on shelf level1.
The dish containing the food should
be placed in the middle of the glass
tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
Description of the functions
38
Cover
Useful tip: Covers are available from
retail outlets.
– A cover prevents too much steam
escaping, especially when cooking
foods which need longer to cook.
– It speeds up the heating process of
the food.
– It prevents food from drying out.
– It helps keep the oven interior clean.
Use a glass or plastic cover suitable
for microwave use for cooking
programmes with the
Microwavefunction.
Alternatively, use a cling film suitable
for use in a microwave oven. Heat can
cause normal cling film to distort and
fuse with the food.
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the container
has a narrow diameter, the steam
may not be able to escape. The
cover could get too hot and start to
melt.
Use containers with a sufficiently
large diameter.
Do not use a cover for reheating the
following types of food:
– Food coated in breadcrumbs
– Food that needs to be heated or
cooked using the Rapid steam
cooking function
Description of the functions
39
Glass tray
Functions/Applications involving steam:
When using perforated containers,
place the glass tray on shelf level1.
This collects any drops of liquid and
allows it to be removed easily.
The condensate cannot evaporate
properly if the glass tray is on the
floor of the steam oven.
Place the glass tray on shelf level1.
Microwave function:
Always use the glass tray on shelf
level1 as a surface to place containers
on.
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 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 pressing the button
on the control panel.

The steam oven gets hot during
operation. You could burn yourself
on the oven compartment, shelf
runners, accessories or the food
itself.
Wear oven gloves when placing food
in the oven or removing it and when
adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot
oven.
When placing cooking containers in
the oven or removing them, make
sure that the hot food does not spill.
The cooking programme will resume
when the door is closed.
When the door is closed, the pressure

General notes on steam cooking
74
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 containers
This steam 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 food you are preparing.
Where possible, it is best to use
perforated cooking containers for steam
cooking. The steam can reach the food
from all sides and the food is cooked
evenly.
Your own containers
You can also use your own containers.
However, please note the following:
– Containers must be heat-resistant to
100°C and able to withstand steam.
With plastic containers, please check
with the manufacturer that they are
suitable for use in a steam oven.
– Thick-sided containers 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 cooking container on the
rack or in a suitable container, and
not on the oven floor.
– Ensure that there is a gap between
the upper rim of the container and
the top of the cooking compartment
to allow sufficient steam into the
container.
Glass tray
When using perforated containers,
place the glass tray on shelf level1.
This collects any drops of liquid and
allows it to be removed easily.
The condensate cannot evaporate
properly if the glass tray is on the
floor of the steam oven.
Place the glass tray on shelf level1.
General notes on steam cooking
75
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level for the
cooking containers and the rack. You
can also cook on several levels at the
same time. This will not alter the
cooking duration.
When using more than one deep
container at the same time for steam
cooking, it is best to offset them on
their runners and to leave at least one
level free in between them.
Always insert cooking containers, the
rack and the glass tray between the
rails of the shelf runners so that they
cannot tip.
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
Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan
can also be cooked in the steam oven.
The cooking durations in the steam
oven will be the same. Please note that
food will not be brown or crisp when
cooking with steam.

Eco Steam cooking
You can use the Eco Steam cooking
function to save energy during steam
cooking. This function is suitable mainly
for cooking fish and vegetables.
We recommend using the cooking
durations and temperatures given in the
chart under “Steam cooking”.
You can cook for longer if necessary.
When cooking starchy foods such as
potatoes, rice and pasta, the best
function to use is Steam cooking.

Notes on the cooking charts
Follow the instructions on cooking

notes.
Selecting the cooking duration
The cooking durations given are
guidelines only.
We recommend selecting the shorter
duration initially. You can cook for
longer if necessary.
Steam cooking
77
Vegetables
Fresh
Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual
way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.
Frozen food
Frozen vegetables do not need to be
defrosted beforehand. 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 glass or collecting tray
(depending on the model) to catch any
liquid and so avoid any transfer of
flavours 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
81
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
Meat should be thoroughly defrosted
before cooking in the steam oven (see
“Special applications - Defrosting with
steam”).
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 500
g which is 10 cm thick will take longer
to cook than a piece of meat weighing
500 g which is 5 cm thick.
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.

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 steam oven at
different times so that they are all ready
at the same time.
Shelf level
Place foods that produce a lot of liquids
(e.g. fish) or have a distinctive colour
(e.g. beetroot) directly above the glass
tray or condensate tray (depending on
the model). This avoids any transfer of
flavour or colour to other food 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.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
97
With this gentle cooking method, food
is cooked slowly and at a low, constant
temperature in vacuum packaging.
With vacuum cooking, no moisture
evaporates during cooking and all
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.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Important notes on use
For an optimum cooking result:
– Use herbs and spices more sparingly
than with conventional 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.
– With higher temperatures and/or
longer cooking durations, the
appliance may run low on water.
Check the display from time to time.
– Keep the door closed during the
cooking process. Opening the door
extends the cooking process and can
change the cooking result.
– Cooking at a lower temperature and
for a longer duration can result in
increased residual water in the
cooking compartment. This does not
affect the cooking results.
– Temperatures and cooking durations
from sous-vide recipes cannot
always be emulated exactly. Alter the
settings to achieve the degree of
cooking you want.

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.
Place the glass tray on shelf level1.
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
temperature if necessary.
Confirm with OK.
Set further settings as necessary (see
“Operation”).
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.

Special applications
105
Reheat with steam
To reheat food which was cooked
using the sous-vide method, use the
Sous-vide function (see “Sous-vide
– Reheating”).
The steam oven is very effective at
reheating food gently, without drying it
out or cooking it further. The food
reheats 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
The number of plates or containers has
no bearing on the time.
The times listed in the table relate to an
average portion per plate. Increase the
duration for larger quantities.
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, roulades or dumplings,
should be cut in half.
– Reheat sauces separately. Exceptions
are dishes such as goulash, which is
cooked in sauce.
– Cover food when reheating it. This
will avoid steam condensing on the
crockery.
– Please note that breaded items, such
as schnitzel, will not retain their
crispness when they are reheated.
Heating food
Cover the food being warmed up with
a plate or foil that is resistant to
temperatures up to 100°C and to
steam.
Place the food on the rack or in a
cooking container.

Defrost with steam
It is much quicker to defrost items in the
steam 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 a glass
tray or condensate tray (depending on
model) underneath it 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.

Blanch
Blanch fruit and 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
(cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into
a perforated cooking container and
place in the steam oven.
Once blanched, plunge the
vegetables into ice cold water to cool
them down quickly. Drain them well.

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.
Special applications
112
Vegetables
Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.
Vegetables should be blanched before
bottling to help them retain their colour
(see “Special applications –
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 the rack on shelf level1.
Place the closed jars on the rack. The

with different cooking durations, e.g.
fish fillet with rice and vegetables.
Foods are placed in the steam oven at
different times so that they are all ready
at the same time. You can select the
foods in any order because the steam
oven sorts the items according to the
length of cooking duration and
indicates when each item has to be
placed in the oven.
The Finish at and Start at functions are

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 and place in the
oven. The jars must not touch each
other.
Straight after the cooking duration
has finished, place the jars in the

Extracting juice
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 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 container or a glass tray
or condensate tray (depending on the
model) underneath to catch the juice.

Preserving apples
You can treat homegrown apples in the
steam oven to increase the length of
time for which you can store them.
Once treated, the apples will keep for 5
to 6 months when stored in a dry, cool
and well-ventilated place. This method
is only suitable for apples and not for
other types of fruit.

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

Cooking rice
Rice swells when cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The proportion of rice
to liquid will vary depending on the type of rice.
The rice absorbs all the liquid during the cooking process so that none of the
nutrients are lost.

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

Reheat
It is essential that “Warning and Safety
instructions - Correct use” is observed.
Risk of injury caused by hot
food.
If food for babies and children is
heated at too high a temperature,
they can burn themselves.
Only heat food for babies and
children for 60–90seconds at 450W.
After heating food, especially food
for babies and small children, stir the
food or shake the container and
taste the food so that children do not
get burned.
Risk of injury from increased
pressure in sealed containers or
bottles.
Pressure can build up when
reheating food or drinks in sealed
containers, jars or bottles, which can
cause them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers or bottles. Open
containers beforehand. In the case of
baby bottles, the screw top and teat
must be removed.
Risk of injury caused by hot liquids.
When heating food, and in particular
liquids, using the
Microwavefunction, the boiling
point may be reached without the
production of typical bubbles.
Liquids do not boil evenly
throughout.
This boiling delay can result in the
liquid boiling over explosively. Take
care when taking the container out of
the oven, as the hot liquid can cause
severe scalding. Under certain
circumstances, the pressure can be
so high that the door opens
automatically.
Stir liquids well before reheating or
cooking.
After heating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the
container from the oven.
In addition, a glass rod or similar
item, if available, can be placed in
the container during heating.
Microwave defrosting and reheating
131
Useful tips
– Always cover food when reheating it,
except when reheating beverages or
meat/fish coated in breadcrumbs.
– Please note that foods with an initial
temperature of approx.5°C
(refrigerated temperature) need
longer to heat up than those at room
temperature.
– If you are in any doubt that a
sufficiently high food temperature has
been reached, continue heating for a
little longer.
– Frozen ready meals can be defrosted
and then heated at the same time.
Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
Heating food
Only use heat-resistant containers
which are microwave safe.
Place the food that is to be heated in
the glass tray on shelf level 1.
If necessary, cover the food.
Select Special applications.
Select: Reheat| Microwave.
Change the recommended power
level and duration if necessary.
Select Start.
During heating:
Stir, turn or rearrange the food once
again. Stir the food from the outside
towards the middle, as food heats
more quickly from the outside.
Risk of burning due to hot
surfaces.
The steam oven gets hot during
operation. You could burn yourself
on the oven compartment, shelf
runners or accessories. Droplets of
water may have accumulated
underneath the crockery.
Use oven gloves when working in the
hot oven compartment and when
removing the crockery.
During the standing time, the
temperature is distributed evenly in the
food.
After heating, allow the food to stand
at room temperature for a few
minutes to enable the heat to spread
evenly throughout the food.

Cleaning and care
141
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
The steam oven gets hot during
operation. You could burn yourself
on the oven compartment, shelf
runners or accessories.
Allow the oven compartment, shelf
runners and accessories to cool
before cleaning.
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.
All surfaces could be discoloured or
damaged if unsuitable cleaning
agents are used.
All surfaces of this appliance are
susceptible to scratching. Scratches
on glass surfaces could cause a
breakage in certain circumstances.
Only use cleaning agents designed
for domestic use.
Remove all cleaning agent residues
immediately.
Do not use cleaning agents or
washing-up liquids containing
aliphatic hydrocarbons as these
could cause the seals to swell.
Stubborn soiling could damage the
steam oven in certain circumstances.
Once the oven has cooled, clean the
oven compartment, the inside of the
door and the door seal. Waiting too
long can make cleaning
unnecessarily difficult and in some
cases impossible.
Operating a damaged appliance can
result in microwave leakage and
present a hazard to the user.
Check the door and door seal for any
sign of damage. If any damage is
noticed, the oven should not be used
again with microwave functions until
the fault has been rectified by a
service technician.
The appliance and accessories
should be cleaned and dried
thoroughly after each use.
Leave the appliance door open until
the oven interior is completely dry.
Useful tip: 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
142
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

– dishwasher cleaner
– 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 erasers
– sharp metal scrapers
– steel wool or metal scourers
– stainless steel spiral pads
– spot cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
– oven cleaners and 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.
Useful tip: A clean, damp microfibre
cloth without cleaning agent can also
be used.
Cleaning the oven
compartment
The oven compartment, the door seal,
the inside of the door and the drip
channel should be cleaned and dried
after each use.
Remove:
– condensate using a sponge or
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 wipe the surfaces dry using a
cloth.
Cleaning and care
143
Cleaning the Automatic door opener
Ensure that the door opener does
not become soiled with food
residues.
Wipe away soiling immediately with
a clean sponge and a solution of
washing-up liquid and hot water.
After cleaning, wipe the surface with
clean water to remove any cleaning
agent residues.
Cleaning the water container
Take out the water container after
each use involving steam.

have been replaced.
Maintenance
The Finish at and Start at functions are
not available in maintenance
programmes.
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
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 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 appliance will lock after the last
remaining cooking process.
We recommend that you descale the
appliance before it locks out.
Cleaning and care
145
During the descaling process, the water
container must be rinsed out and
refilled with fresh water.
Switch the steam oven on and select
Maintenance|Descale.

Problem solving guide
146
With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of the
appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remedied
without contacting Miele. This will save you time and money because you won't
need a service call.
Please note that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary service visits
where the problem could have been rectified as described in these operating
instructions.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
You cannot switch the
appliance on.
The circuit breaker has tripped.
Reset the circuit breaker in the mains fuse box
(see data plate for minimum fuse rating).
There may be a technical fault.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains
connection for approximately 1minute by:
– switching off at the wall socket and withdrawing
the plug, or
– switching off the mains circuit breaker or residual
current device.
If, after switching the circuit breaker or residual
current device back on, the steam oven will still
not switch on, contact a qualified electrician or
Miele.
The oven does not heat
up.
Demo mode is active.
The steam oven can be operated, however the
heating elements will not work.
Deactivate Demo mode (see “Settings -
Showroom programme”).
The oven cavity has been warmed up by a warming
drawer in operation underneath it.
Open the door and let the oven cool down.
Problem solving guide
147
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The sensor controls or
the proximity sensor do
not respond.
You have selected the Display| QuickTouch| Off setting.
When this is activated, the sensor controls and
proximity sensor do not respond when the steam
oven is switched off.
As soon as the steam oven is switched on, the
sensor controls and the proximity sensor will
respond. If you want the sensor controls and the
proximity sensor to respond even when the steam
oven is switched off, select the Display|
QuickTouch| On setting.
The settings for the proximity sensor are switched off.
Change the settings for the proximity sensor by
selecting Settings| Proximity sensor.
The proximity sensor is defective.
Call Miele.
The steam oven is not connected to the power
supply.
Check that the steam oven plug is correctly
inserted into the socket.
Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Contact a
qualified electrician or Miele.
If the display does not respond, there is a fault with
the controls.
Touch and hold the On/Off sensor until the
display switches off and the steam oven restarts.
The fan can still be
heard after the
appliance has been
switched off.
The fan is still running.
The appliance is fitted with a fan which removes
steam from the oven. The fan will continue to run for
a while after the appliance has been switched off. It
will switch itself off automatically after a while.
A humming sound can
be heard after switching
on the appliance, during
operation and after
switching off the
appliance.
This is not a fault. It is made by water being pumped
through the system.
Problem solving guide
148
Problem Possible cause and remedy
After moving house, the
appliance no longer
switches from the
heating-up phase to the
cooking phase.
Altitude affects the boiling point of water. If you move
house, the appliance will need to be reset for the new
altitude if this differs from the old one by more than
300m.
To adjust the boiling temperature, you need to
descale the steam oven (see “Cleaning and care –
Descaling the steam oven”).
During operation an
unusually large amount
of steam escapes or
steam escapes from
parts of the steam oven
where it does not
usually.
The door is not properly closed.
Close the door.
The door seal is not correctly fitted.
If necessary, press it in all the way round the door
to make sure it is fitted evenly.
The door seal is damaged, e.g. cracked.
The door seal needs to be replaced.
Call Miele.
Do not use any microwave functions until the door
seal has been replaced.
A whistling sound is
heard when the
appliance is switched
on again.
When the door is closed, the pressure has to
equalise, which can cause a whistling sound. This is
not a fault.
The Start at and Finish at
functions are not
available.
The temperature in the oven compartment is too high,
e.g. after a programme has finished.
Open the door and let the oven cool down.
These functions are not generally available in
maintenance programmes.
After long cooking
cycles with microwave
power , there are
high levels of moisture
in the cavity.
The steam oven with microwave is a fully fledged
steam oven. The cavity is therefore completely
steam-tight. In contrast, a conventional microwave
oven is not air-tight. As a result of the steam-tight
cavity, during long cooking cycles with microwave
power , condensate will develop on the side walls
and the inner door panel. The quantity of condensate
depends on the cooking duration and the level of
moisture in the food.
Problem solving guide
149
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The food is not
sufficiently heated or is
not cooked at the end
of a set duration when
using the
Microwave function.
The oven was not restarted after interrupting a
cooking programme.
Restart the cooking programme to ensure the food
is heated or cooked properly.
When cooking or heating with microwave power, the
duration set was too short.
Check that the correct duration is selected for the
microwave power level. The lower the microwave
power level, the longer the cooking duration.
With a very small amount of food, the steam oven
automatically reduces the power level to suit the
actual amount of food as a safety precaution. The
display still shows the previously set initial power
level.
Restart the programme with a lower microwave
power level to ensure the food is heated or cooked
properly.
Food has cooled down
too quickly after being
heated or cooked using
the Microwave
function.
When cooked by microwaves, food begins to cook
from the outside first, the inside of the food relying on
the slower conduction of heat. If food is cooked at a
high microwave power level, it is possible that the
heat may not have reached the centre of the food, so
it is hot on the outside but cold in the centre. During
the standing time, the heat is transferred to the centre
of the food.
When reheating food with different densities, such
as with menu cooking, it is sensible to start with a
low microwave power level and select a longer
reheating duration.
Less than half of the
popcorn has popped
when using the
Popcorn function.
The oven interior was too warm and/or too damp.
Allow the oven compartment to cool and/or dry it
with a towel.
The cooking duration was too short.
Change the preset time. The maximum cooking
duration that can be set is 4minutes (see “Settings
– Popcorn”).
The oven lighting
doesn't come on.
The lamp needs to be replaced.
Call Miele to have the lamp replaced.
