Warning and Safety instructions
8
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

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.
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for any
visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged
appliance.
Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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.
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
11
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. 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
12
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
13
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.
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.
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.

1 when using perforated containers.
This collects any drops of liquid and
allows these to be removed easily.
You can also use the condensate tray
as a cooking container if necessary.
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”).

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
25
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.
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 touching the sensor
on the control panel.

Your steam oven is equipped with an
integrated Wi-Fi module.
In order to use it, you need:
– a Wi-Fi network
– the Miele@mobile App
– a Miele user account. The user
account can be created via the
Miele@mobile App.
The Miele@mobile App will guide you
as you connect your steam oven to your
home Wi-Fi network.
Once your steam oven is connected to
your Wi-Fi network, you can use the
App for a number of actions, including
the following:
– Call up information on the operating
status of your steam oven
– Retrieve information on cooking
processes that are in progress
– End cooking programmes that are in
progress
Connecting your steam oven to your
Wi-Fi network will increase energy
consumption, even when the steam
oven is switched off.
Make sure that the signal of your Wi-
Fi network is sufficiently strong in the
place where your steam oven is
installed.
Availability of the Wi-Fi connection
The Wi-Fi connection shares a
frequency range with other appliances
(including microwave ovens and remote
control toys). This may result in
sporadic or even complete connection
failures. Therefore, a constant
availability of featured functions cannot
be guaranteed.
Miele@home availability
The ability to use the Miele@mobile App
depends on the availability of the
Miele@home service in your country.
The Miele@home service is not
available in every country.
For information about availability,
please visit www.miele.com.
Miele@mobile App
You can download the Miele@mobile
App from the Apple App Store
®
or the
Google Play Store™ free of charge (only
functional in selected countries).

Interrupting a cooking
programme
A cooking programme is interrupted as
soon as the door is opened. The oven
heating switches off. Set cooking
durations will be saved.
Risk of injury due to hot steam.
A great deal of hot steam can escape
when the door is opened. The steam
can cause burns.
Step back and wait until the hot
steam has dissipated.
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces and food.
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
has to equalise, which can cause a
whistling sound.
The steam oven will heat up again and
the display will show the temperature in
the cooking compartment as it rises.
Once the set temperature has been
reached, the display will show the time
left as it counts down.
The cooking process will be ended
early if the door is opened in the last
minute of cooking time.

General notes
51
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.
Condensate tray
Place the condensate tray on shelf level
1 when using perforated containers.
This collects any drops of liquid and
allows these to be removed easily.
You can also use the condensate tray
as a cooking container if necessary.
General notes
52
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 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 and
the rack 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.
Setting
Other | Eco Steam cooking
Notes on the cooking charts
Follow the instructions on cooking
durations, temperatures and cooking
notes.
Selecting the cooking duration
The cooking durations given are
guidelines only.
We recommend selecting the shorter
duration initially. You can cook for
longer if necessary.
Steam cooking
54
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
58
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 in the steam oven (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 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
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
74
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
75
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.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
76
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.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
77
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 condensate tray on shelf
level 1.
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”).
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.

Other applications
82
Reheat
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
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.
Settings
Other | Blanch
or
Steam cooking
Temperature: 100°C
Blanching time: 1minute
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.
Other applications
89
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

Disinfect items
The steam oven will disinfect baby
bottles and other containers so that at
the end of the programme they are as
germ free as they would have been if
boiled. Check beforehand that all parts,
teats etc. are declared by the
manufacturer to be heat resistant to
100°C and also that they can withstand
hot steam.
Dismantle, clean and thoroughly rinse
baby bottles. Reassemble the bottles
only after they have completely dried.
This prevents recontamination.
Place the individual items on the rack
or in a perforated container (on their
sides or with the opening facing
downwards) ensuring that they do not
touch one another. This will allow hot
steam to reach them from all sides.

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

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

Cleaning and care
102
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 the oven.
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.
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove.
Surfaces may suffer discolouration or
damage.
Remove any soiling immediately.
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.

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.
After prolonged use, the floor heater
can become discoloured by drops of
liquid, but this does not impair the
function.
Cleaning and care
104
The door seal is designed to last the
lifetime of the appliance. Should it for
any reason need replacing, please
contact Miele (see the end of these
operating instructions).
Cleaning the Automatic door opener

clean water.
Cleaning and care
105
Cleaning the shelf runners
The shelf runners are suitable for
cleaning in a dishwasher.
Pull the shelf runners out of the
holder (1.) at the front of the oven and
then pull them out of the oven (2.).
The shelf runners can be washed in
the dishwasher or by hand with a
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a
clean sponge or cloth.
Refit in the reverse order.
Refit the shelf runners carefully.
If the shelf runners are not correctly
inserted, there is no anti-tip
protection.
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. The steam oven will
lock after the last remaining cooking
process.
We recommend that you descale the
appliance before it locks out.
During the descaling process, the water
container must be rinsed out and
refilled with fresh water.
Cleaning and care
106
The Start at and Finish at functions are
not available while descaling is being
carried out.
Switch the steam oven on and select
Descale.
The message Please wait will appear in
the display. The descaling process is

minutes. As soon as the appliance is
ready, you will be prompted to fill the
water container.
Fill the water container with lukewarm
fresh tap water up to the level
marker and drop 2Miele descaling
tablets in it.
Wait until the descaling tablets have
dissolved.
Push the water container into the
appliance.
Confirm with OK.
The time remaining will appear in the
display. The descaling process will now
begin.
Do not switch the steam oven off
during the descaling process,
otherwise the whole process will have
to be started from the beginning
again.
During the course of the descaling
process, the water container needs to
be rinsed and filled with fresh water
twice.
Follow the instructions in the display.
Confirm each with OK.
Once the time remaining has elapsed,
Finishedwill appear in the display and a
buzzer will sound.
Switch the steam oven off.
Remove the water container and
remove the spill guard.
Empty and dry the water container.
Let the oven cavity cool down.
Then dry the oven compartment.
Leave the appliance door open until
the oven interior is completely dry.
Problem solving guide
107
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
108
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The sensors do not
respond.
You have selected the Display| QuickTouch| Off setting.
Therefore, when the steam oven is switched off, the
sensors do not respond.
As soon as the steam oven is switched on, the
sensors will respond. If you want the sensors to
always respond even when the steam oven is
switched off, select the Display| QuickTouch|
Onsetting.
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.
There is a fault with the control unit.
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.
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”).
Problem solving guide
109

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.
Replace the door seal.
This can be ordered from Miele (see the end of this
booklet for contact details).
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.
