Warning and Safety instructions
7
The steam combination oven is referred to in the following instructions as a
steam oven.
This appliance complies with all current local and national safety
requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Please read these operating and installation instructions carefully
before using the steam oven for the first time. They contain
important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance
of the appliance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to
the steam oven.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in
“Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
background
Warning and Safety instructions

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, bake, roast, grill,
defrost and reheat food.
Any other use is not permitted.
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.
This steam oven is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be replaced
by a Miele authorised technician.
background
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. Children's skin is far more
sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. External parts of
the steam oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent
become quite hot. Do not let children touch the steam oven when it
is in operation.
Keep children well away from the steam oven until it has cooled
down and there is no danger of injury.

maximum weight of 10kg. Children could injure themselves on an
open door.
Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.
background
Warning and Safety instructions

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).
background
Warning and Safety instructions
11
Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live
connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical
components of the oven will endanger your safety and may lead to
steam oven malfunctions.
Do not open the steam oven housing under any circumstances.
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.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
12
Warning: If the lamp needs to be replaced, ensure it is replaced by
a Miele approved service technician and that the appliance is
switched off beforehand to avoid the possibility of an electric shock.
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.
background
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 heating
elements, 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.
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 containers which are not heat-resistant will melt, and may
ignite, at high temperatures and can damage the steam oven.
Use only heat-resistant plastic containers. Please follow the
container manufacturer's instructions. If you want to use plastic
containers in your steam oven, make sure they can resist high
temperatures and steam. Other plastic containers may melt, distort
or break.
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.
The door can support a maximum load of 10kg. 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.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
14
Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the steam oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
If it does ignite, do not put the flames out with water. Switch the
steam oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by
keeping the oven door closed.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam
oven when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up the room.
Grilling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it to
dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the
recommended cooking durations.
Certain foods dry out quickly and may catch fire due to high
grilling temperatures.
Never use a grill function to finish baking bake-off rolls or bread, or
to dry flowers or herbs. Use the Fan Plus or Conventional Heat
functions instead.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the 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.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on
the hot heating elements.
Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil
or oven liners. Do not place any crockery or any pans, pots or baking
trays directly on the floor of the oven compartment.
If you want to use the floor of the oven compartment as an extra
surface, place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with
the rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. In
doing so, ensure that the filter in the floor of the oven is not moved.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
15
The oven compartment floor can become damaged by the rack
being pushed around on it.
Do not push the rack around on the oven compartment floor.
Larger deposits of food can block the drain and pump. Always
make sure that the filter in the floor of the oven is inserted.
When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,
near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the
appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock
hazard.
Do not operate the appliance without the lamp cover. Steam could
attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Steam
could also damage the electrical components.
background
Warning and Safety instructions
16
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.
background
Caring for the environment
17
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.

Moisture
The Combi modefunction and
Reheatapplication use a
combination of oven heat and moisture.
The moisture level can be selected
within the given range for an individual
programme or a specific programme
stage.
Depending on the moisture setting,
moisture or fresh air is supplied to the
oven compartment. With the moisture
setting=0%, the maximum fresh air
supply is implemented and no moisture
is supplied. With the moisture
setting=100%, there is no fresh air
supply and the moisture content is at its
maximum.
Some food gives off moisture during
the cooking process. This moisture
from the food affects the amount of
additional moisture needed. If the
required amount of moisture is low, the
steam generator may not be activated
at all.
Cooking duration
Depending on the function, you can set
a cooking duration of between 1minute
and 10 or 12hours.
The cooking durations of the Automatic
and Maintenance programmes are set
at the factory and cannot be altered.
When cooking with steam, as well as
for programmes and applications with
pure steam operation, the cooking
duration does not begin until the set
temperature is reached. It starts
immediately for all other functions,
programmes and applications.
Noises
A humming sound can be heard during
operation and after switching off the
steam oven. This noise does not
indicate incorrect operation or an
appliance fault. The noise is made by
water being pumped through the
system.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.

Heating-up phase
The display shows the temperature in
the oven compartment as it rises during
the heating-up phase in all functions
(exceptions: Full Grill, Economy Grill).
The duration of the heating-up phase
with steam cooking will depend on the
quantity and temperature of the food. In
general, the heating-up phase will take
approx. 7minutes. It will be longer if
you are cooking refrigerated or frozen
food. The heating-up phase may also
take longer when cooking at lower
temperatures and when cooking with
the Sous-vide function.
Cooking phase
The elapsing remaining time is shown in
the display during the cooking phase.
When cooking with steam, the cooking
phase begins once the set temperature
is reached. It starts immediately for all
other functions, programmes and
applications.
Steam reduction
With steam cooking and Combi mode,
the steam reduction function will switch
on automatically at the end of a cooking
programme which uses a temperature
within a certain temperature range. This
is to prevent a large amount of steam
escaping when the door is opened.
Steam reduction appears in the display.
Steam reduction can be switched off
(see “Settings - Steam reduction”).
When steam reduction is switched off, a
large amount of steam will escape when
the door is opened.
Oven interior lighting
For energy saving reasons, the oven
interior lighting has been set at the
factory to go out after the programme
has begun.
If you want the lighting to remain on
during cooking, the relevant 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
5minutes.
The lighting can be switched on for
15seconds by touching the sensor
on the control panel.

Cooking programmes
If possible, use the Automatic
programmes for cooking food.
Remove any accessories from the
oven that are not required for a
cooking process.
In general, if a range of temperatures
is given in a recipe or chart, it is best
to select the lower temperature and
to check the food after the shortest
duration.
Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to
do so in the recipe or the cooking
chart.
Avoid opening the door during a
cooking process.
Dark, matte tins are best for baking.
They absorb the heat more effectively
and transmit it to the mixture more
quickly. Shiny materials such as
stainless steel or aluminium reflect
the heat, preventing it from reaching
the food efficiently. Do not cover the
oven floor or the rack with heat-
reflective aluminium foil.
Monitor cooking durations to avoid
wasting energy when cooking food.
Set the cooking duration, or use a
food probe if you have one.
The Fan Plus function can be
used for cooking many types of food.
Because the fan distributes the heat
in the oven compartment straight
away, it allows you to use a lower
temperature than you would with
Conventional Heat. It also enables you
to cook on several shelf levels at the
same time.
Fan Grillis the best function for grilled
dishes. With Fan Grill you can use
lower temperatures than with other
grill functions which use the
maximum temperature setting.
The Eco Fan Heatfunction ensures
energy-efficient cooking thanks to
optimal utilisation of heat. Use this
function for sweet and savoury bakes
and gratins. Do not open the door
during the cooking programme.
You can use the Eco Steam cooking
function to save energy during steam
cooking. This function is suitable
mainly for cooking fish and
vegetables.
Whenever possible you should cook
several dishes at the same time.
Place them next to each other in the
oven or on different shelf levels.
Dishes which you are unable to
prepare at the same time should, if
possible, be cooked one after the
other in order to make use of existing
heat in the oven.

background
General notes
65
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 meal you are preparing.
Use perforated cooking containers for
steam cooking if possible. The steam
can reach the food from all sides and
the food is cooked evenly.
Your own containers
You can also use your own containers.
However, please note the following:
Containers must be suitable for use
in an oven and able to withstand
steam. With plastic containers,
please check with the manufacturer
that they are suitable for use in a
steam oven.
Thick-sided containers made from
porcelain, ceramic, or stoneware are
not very suitable for using with
steam. Due to their thick sides, they
do not conduct heat well and as a
result cooking durations will be
considerably longer than those given
in the charts.
Place the containers on the rack or
on a suitable tray. Depending on the
size of the container, you can also
place the rack on the floor of the
oven compartment with the rack
surface facing up and the cooking
container on top. You can also take
the shelf runners out to make more
room (see “Cleaning and care -
Cleaning the shelf runners”).
Ensure that there is a gap between
the upper rim of the container and
the top of the cooking compartment
to allow sufficient steam into the
container.
background
General notes
66
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can
also cook on several levels at the same
time. This will not alter the cooking
duration.
When cooking with more than one deep
cooking container at the same time,
offset them to allow steam to circulate
properly. If possible, leave a shelf level
between the containers.
Always insert cooking containers, the
rack and the tray between the rails of
the shelf runners so that they cannot
tip.
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. 1kg of potatoes will
take the same time to cook as 500g of
potatoes.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid, only fill the
cooking container ²/₃ full to prevent the
liquid spilling when the cooking
container is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes - steam
cooking
Food and recipes which are prepared in
a pot or a pan can also be cooked in
the steam oven. The cooking times in
the steam oven will be the same. Please
note that food will not be brown or crisp
when cooking with steam.
background
General notes

Universal tray and combi rack
Use the universal tray with the combi
rack placed on top of it, e.g. for roasting
and grilling. During roasting, you can
use the meat juices collected in the tray
to make a gravy or sauce.
If you are using the universal tray with
the combi rack on top, insert the
universal tray between the rails of a
shelf level and the combi rack will
automatically sit on top. When removing
them from the oven, pull both out
together.
Non-tip safety notches
The combi rack and universal tray have
non-tip safety notches which prevent
them being pulled right out when they
only need to be partially pulled out. The
tray and rack can then only be taken
out of the oven by raising them
upwards and then pulling them out.

Eco Steam cooking
You can use the Eco Steam cooking

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 manufacturers
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 - 5cm
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

Fish
Fresh
Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.
clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen
Fish does not need to be fully defrosted
before cooking. Defrost so that the
surface is sufficiently thawed to take
herbs and seasoning. Depending on the
thickness of the fish, 2–5 minutes
should be enough.
Preparation
Add some lemon or lime juice to fish
before cooking. The citric acid helps the
flesh stay firm.
It is not necessary to season fish when
cooking with steam as this method
retains the minerals which give the fish
its unique flavour.
Cooking containers
If using a perforated container, grease it
first or line it with baking paper.
Shelf level
When cooking fish in a perforated
container at the same time as cooking
other types of food in other containers,
place the container with the fish directly
above the universal tray to catch any
liquid and so avoid any transfer of
tastes to other food.
Temperature
85°C – 90°C
For gently cooking delicate types of
fish, such as flounder.
100°C
For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.
salmon.
Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the
thickness and the texture of the fish,
and not on the weight. The thicker the
fish, the longer the cooking duration. A
3cm thick piece of fish weighing 500g
will take longer to cook than a 2 cm
thick piece of fish weighing 500g.
The longer fish cooks, the firmer its
flesh will become. Use the cooking
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.
background
Steam cooking
73
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
90minutes. 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 liquid
(e.g. fish) or have a distinctive colour
(e.g. beetroot) directly above the
universal tray. This avoids any transfer
of flavour or colour to other food by
preventing liquid dripping onto food
below it.
Temperature
Whole meals should be cooked at a
temperature of 100°C as this is the
temperature required to cook the
majority of foods.
Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest
temperature when different
temperatures are required for different
types of food, e.g. 85°C for seabream
and 100°C for potatoes.
If the recommended cooking
temperature for the food is 85°C for
example, try cooking it at 100°C and
testing the result. Some delicate types
of fish with a soft structure, e.g.
flounder will become very firm when
cooked at 100°C.
Duration
If you increase the recommended
temperature, shorten the cooking
duration by approx. ¹/₃.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
89
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.
background
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
90
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.
Temperatures and cooking durations
from sous-vide recipes cannot
always be emulated exactly. Alter the
settings to achieve the degree of
cooking you want.
background
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
91
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.
background
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
92
Using the Sous-videfunction
Rinse the food with cold water and
dry it.
Place the food in a vacuum bag and
add spices or liquid if desired.
Vacuum seal the food in a chamber
system vacuum sealer.
For the best cooking results, place
the rack on shelf level2.
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.

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
10–12minutes are usually sufficient for
one plate of food. More than one plate
will need a little longer.
If you are reheating several plated
meals one after the other, the reheating
time can be reduced by around
5minutes for the second and
subsequent plates as the oven
compartment will still be hot.
Moisture content
The more moist the food, the less
moisture that needs to be added.
Useful tips
Do not reheat large items, such as a
joint of roast meat, whole. Divide it
into portions and reheat these as
plated meals.
Compact items, such as stuffed
capsicum or roulades, should be cut
in half.
Reheat sauces separately. Exceptions
are dishes such as goulash, which is
cooked in sauce.
Please note that breaded items, such

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 the
universal tray underneath when
defrosting food which will drip, such as
poultry. This way food will not be lying
in defrosted liquid.
Foods which do not drip can be
defrosted in a solid cooking container.
Useful tips
Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning.
Depending on the thickness of the
fish, 2–5 minutes is generally enough.
When defrosting food which has
frozen together, e.g. berries and meat
portions, separate them half-way
through the defrosting time.
Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
Defrost frozen ready meals according
to the instructions on the packaging.

Mix & Match
The Mix & MatchSpecial application is
available to help with simple and
uncomplicated preparation of plated
meals. With this application, you can
reheat food that has already been
cooked (convenience food) or assemble
a portioned-out meal using fresh food
and cook it on a plate.
During cooking, you have the choice
between a crispy, browned result or
gently cooked food with a succulent
surface without additional browning.
Only use food that is completely
hygienic. If you have any concerns,
dispose of the food.
Cooking containers
Use:
a flat plate or a small ovenproof dish
a deep bowl or a cup for food that
requires liquid to be added
Baked goods, pizza, tarte flambée, etc.
can be placed directly on the rack (with
baking paper if necessary).
The plastic containers for ready
meals are not sufficiently heat-
resistant.
Transfer ready meals into suitable
cooking containers.

Tips for reheating plated meals
For fried or gratin dishes, useCrispy
reheating and for baked or boiled
dishes, useGentle reheating.
UsingCrispy reheating ensures that
only food that was crispy before
reheating stays crispy.
The food should not exceed a height
of 2–2.5cm. Transfer taller food into
flat containers (e.g. casserole) or slice
it into smaller pieces (e.g. roulades,
bakes).
Only reheat pasta mixed into a sauce.
Droplets of water may have
accumulated underneath the
crockery. Dry the droplets of water
before serving.
Tips for cooking plated meals
You can easily make a sauce from
the meat and fish stock: add 1tsp. of
cornflour to the raw meat or fish
before cooking. Stir the sauce with a
fork until smooth before serving. You
can also use 1tsp. of mashed potato
powder (instant) or a pinch of guar
gum instead of cornflour.
If cooking durations for different
foods are not the same, you can
compensate for this by changing the
size of the food: if the cooking
duration is shorter, make the pieces
larger (e.g. large cauliflower florets). If
the cooking duration is longer, make
the pieces smaller (e.g. diced
potatoes).
You can also compensate for
differing cooking durations with
layering: place food with a short
cooking duration under a food with a
long cooking duration or put them
together as a small bake.
To prevent the food from drying out,
prepare your dish with a sauce or
marinade. You can also use cheese
or bacon.
background
Other applications
104
Assembling a plated meal using
various components
For a good cooking result, you must put
together the individual components of
the dish – such as meat, side dishes
and vegetables – so that a common
setting can be selected for browning.
This setting must be suitable for all
elements of the meal, or at least
conditionally suitable.
We recommend using the following
procedure:
Select a main ingredient based on the
cooking charts, e.g. steak.
Select other ingredients which have
the corresponding settings for
browning, e.g. green beans and rice.
Notes on the cooking charts
As well as information on portion sizes
or the way the food needs to be
processed prior to cooking, the cooking
charts also provide tips on preparation.
The degree of browning is represented
in the display by a bar with seven
segments. Basically, the more
segments that are filled, the longer the
cooking duration.
You can use the icons to determine
which setting is appropriate to brown
the food:

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.

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 3cm 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 30minutes
after it has switched off.
Then cover the jars with a cloth and
allow to cool for approx. 24hours.
Bottling food
Place a perforated container or the
rack on level1.
Place the closed jars in the perforated
container or on the rack. The jars
must not touch each other.

Bottling cakes
Creamed, sponge and yeast dough mixtures are all suitable for bottling. Cakes will
keep for approx. 6 months.
Cakes made with fresh fruit are not suitable for long term storage, and must be
consumed within 2 days of being made.
Only use sterilised jars and accessories. The jars must be narrower at the bottom
than at the top (mason jars). 0.25l jars are the best for this purpose.
The jars need to have a bottling ring, glass lid and a spring lock clip to be sealed.
Make sure that all the jars are the same size so that the bottling process is carried
out evenly.
Grease the inside of the jars with butter up to 1cm below the rim.
Sprinkle inside the jars with fine breadcrumbs.
Fill the jars ¹/ to ²/ full with mixture (depending on recipe). Make sure the rim
stays clean.
Place the rack on shelf level1.

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 1litre of milk
or make up the mixture with yoghurt
enzyme, following the instructions on
the packaging.
Pour the mixture into glass jars and
seal the jars.
Place the sealed jars in a perforated
cooking container or on the rack. The
jars must not touch each other.
Straight after the cooking duration
has finished, place the jars in the
refrigerator. Take care not to shake
the jars unnecessarily.

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

Baking
133
Handling food carefully will help
protect your health.
Cakes, pizzas and chips should be
cooked until golden, not dark brown.
Baking guidelines
Set a cooking duration. When baking,
the oven should not be set to start a
long time off. Otherwise the cake
mixture or dough will dry out, and the
raising agents will lose their
effectiveness.
Generally, you can use the rack,
universal tray and any type of baking
tray made of heat-resistant material.
Always place bakeware on the rack.
Always cook frozen goods such as
cakes, pizza or baguettes on the
rack.
Very high temperatures can cause
the universal tray to distort to such
an extent that the tray cannot be
taken out of the oven compartment.
Small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes can
be cooked on the universal tray. Turn
these frozen food items several times
during cooking.
Bake on a maximum of 2 levels at
once. When baking cakes with a
moist topping, only bake on one
level.
Using baking paper
Miele accessories, e.g. the universal
tray, are treated with PerfectClean
enamel (see “Cleaning and care”).
Surfaces treated with PerfectClean
enamel generally do not need to be
greased or covered with baking paper.
Use baking paper when cooking:
lye mixtures because anything
prepared using a lye containing
sodium hydroxide can damage the
PerfectClean surface
mixtures with a high egg white
content, such as sponge, meringue
and macaroons, as these can easily
stick
puff pastry or strudel dough
frozen food on the rack
small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes on
the universal tray

Baking

Tips on baking
Dark, matte tins are best for baking.
Avoid using bright, thin-walled tins as
they give an uneven or poor
browning result. In certain
unfavourable conditions, the food will
not cook properly.
Place cakes in rectangular tins on the
rack with the longer side across the
width of the oven for optimum heat
distribution and even results.
When cooking frozen food such as
chips, croquettes, cakes, pizza and
baguettes, select the medium
temperature quoted on the
manufacturer's packaging.
If a range is specified for the cooking
duration, check whether the food is
cooked after the shortest duration.
Stick a wooden skewer into the food.
If it comes out clean without any
batter/dough on it, the food is done.
Notes on the oven functions
You can find an overview of all the
functions with their recommended
values in “Main and sub-menus”.
Combi mode
This function uses a combination of
oven heat and moisture. The addition of
steam prevents the surface of the food
from drying out. Bread, bread rolls and
puff pastry have a shiny and crispy
crust.
You can choose between different types

We recommend baking bread and
bread rolls in several cooking stages:
the shine is created during the first
cooking stage thanks to the injection of
steam (maximum moisture, low
temperature). Browning takes place in
the next cooking stage with high
moisture and a high temperature. It is
then dried with reduced moisture and a
medium to high temperature.
Useful tip: Recipes and comprehensive
cooking charts with information on
functions, temperatures, moisture and
cooking durations can be found in the
Miele cookbook/recipe booklet
“Bake, roast, steam”.

Follow the instructions in the display.
Fan Plus
Use this function if you are baking on
multiple shelf levels at the same time.
You can use any type of baking tray
made of heat-resistant material.
Because the fan distributes the heat
around the oven compartment straight
away, it allows you to use a lower
temperature than you would with the
Conventional Heatfunction.
Conventional Heat
Use this function for cooking traditional
recipes. If using an older recipe or
cookbook, set the oven temperature
10°C lower than that recommended.
This will not change the cooking
duration.
Only bake on one level. If you are
making a tray bake, use shelf level2.
Intensive Bake
This function is suitable for baking
cakes with moist toppings, pizza,
quiche, etc.
Place the food on shelf level1.
Bottom Heat
Use this function towards the end of
cooking to brown the base of the food.
Top Heat
Use this function towards the end of
cooking to brown the top of food.
This function is suitable for gratins and
for browning bakes.
Cake Plus
Use this function for baking creamed
and frozen lye mixtures.
Eco Fan Heat
This function is suitable for making
sweet and savoury bakes and gratins in
a way that saves energy.

Roasting
136
Roasting tips
Never roast frozen meat as it will dry
out. Always defrost meat before
roasting.
Remove skin and sinew before
roasting.
Marinate and season the meat to
taste.
If you are roasting several pieces of
meat together, select pieces that
have a similar thickness.
Use the universal tray with the rack
placed on top of it. The oven
compartment stays cleaner and you
can then use the meat juices
collected to make a gravy or sauce.
Allow a standing time of approx.
10minutes before carving meat. This
resting time ensures the meat juices
are distributed evenly.
Notes on the oven functions
You can find an overview of all the
functions with their recommended
values in “Main and sub-menus”.
Combi mode
This function uses a combination of
oven heat and moisture. The addition of
steam prevents the surface of the food
from drying out. The results are
particularly tender and succulent meat
with a well-browned outside. Use the
Combi mode function for cooking
meat, fish and poultry dishes.
You can choose between different types
of heating:
Combi Fan Plus
Combi Conventional
Combi Grill
We recommend cooking meat slowly
and gently in several cooking stages: at
a high temperature during the first
cooking stage to brown the surface.
The second cooking stage requires
increased moisture and a reduced
temperature. The meat cooks evenly
and the muscle protein is macerated,
making the meat particularly tender.
Useful tip: Recipes and comprehensive
cooking charts with information on
functions, temperatures, moisture and
cooking durations can be found in the
Miele cookbook/recipe booklet
“Bake, roast, steam”.

Grilling
138
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
If you open the appliance door
during grilling, the controls will get
very hot.
Keep the door closed during the
grilling programme.
Grilling tips
Always pre-heat for at least
5minutes before grilling.
Use the universal tray with the rack
placed on top of it. Exception: If you
are grilling on shelf level3, insert the
universal tray one level down from
the rack.
When grilling fish, place the fish on a
piece of baking paper cut to size.
Grill thick food, e.g. half a chicken, on
shelf level2 and thin food, e.g.
steaks, on shelf level3.
Turn the food ²/₃ of the way through
the cooking duration. Exception: It is
not necessary to turn food when
using Fan Grill or grilling fish.
Tips for grilling
Marinate lean meat or brush it with
oil. Do not use other types of fat as
they can burn and cause smoke.
Pierce sausages before grilling.
It is best to grill food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that
the grilling time for each item does
not vary too greatly.
To test the food, press down on the
meat with a spoon. This lets you
determine how well the meat has
been cooked.
Rare
If the meat gives easily to the
pressure of the spoon, it will still
be red on the inside.
Medium
If there is some resistance, the
inside will be pink.
Well-done
If there is great resistance, it is
cooked through.
To grill thicker pieces of food more
gradually after an initial high
temperature, continue grilling at a
lower temperature setting or use a
lower shelf level to allow the food to
cook through to the centre.

Notes on cleaning and care
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
The steam oven gets hot during
operation. You could burn yourself
on the heating elements, oven
compartment, shelf runners or
accessories.
Allow the heating elements, oven
compartment, shelf runners and the
accessories to cool down before
manual cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the steam oven.
The use of unsuitable cleaning
agents can cause the surfaces to
discolour or alter. The front of the
steam oven is particularly
susceptible to damage from oven
cleaners and descaling agents.
All surfaces of this appliance are
susceptible to scratching. Scratches
on glass surfaces could cause a
breakage in certain circumstances.
Remove any residual cleaning agent
immediately.
Stubborn soiling could damage the
steam oven in certain circumstances.
Once the oven has cooled, clean the
oven compartment, the inside of the
door and the door seal. Waiting too
long can make cleaning
unnecessarily difficult and in some
cases impossible.
Do not use commercial cleaning
agents. Only use cleaning agents
designed for domestic use.
Do not use cleaning agents or
washing-up liquids containing
aliphatic hydrocarbons as these
could cause the seals to swell.
The appliance and accessories
should be cleaned and dried
thoroughly after each use.
Leave the appliance door open until
the oven interior is completely dry.
If the steam oven is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, it
should be thoroughly cleaned and
dried beforehand to prevent the build-
up of odours and so on. Leave the
door open afterwards.
background
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
agents
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
solvent-based cleaning agents
stainless steel cleaning agents
dishwasher cleaner
glass cleaning agents
cleaning agents for ceramic 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.
background
Cleaning and care
143
PerfectClean
The oven compartment, shelf runners,
universal tray and combi rack surfaces
are treated with PerfectClean enamel.
This finish has an iridescent
appearance. PerfectClean surfaces
have very good non-stick properties
and are easy to clean.
However, it is important to clean the
surfaces each time the oven is used.
The non-stick properties will deteriorate
if soiling is not removed from
PerfectClean surfaces after each use. If
used frequently without being cleaned,
cleaning may become very difficult.
Soiling such as spilt juices and cake
mixtures are best removed whilst the
oven compartment is still warm.
Spilt fruit juices may cause
discolouration to the surfaces that
cannot be removed. However, this does
not affect the properties of the
PerfectClean finish.
Always remove all cleaning agent
residues to protect the non-stick
properties.
To protect the non-stick effect of
PerfectClean surfaces, please avoid:
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
cleaning agents for ceramic cooktops
ceramic glass and stainless steel
cleaners
steel wool or metal scourers
abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents
oven sprays
spot cleaning with mechanical
cleaning agents
Do not clean PerfectClean
accessories in the dishwasher.

the inside of the door with a cloth.
Useful tip: You can then leave the
steam oven to dry automatically (see
“Cleaning and care - Maintenance”).
Cleaning after a roasting, grilling or
baking programme
Clean the oven compartment
thoroughly after roasting, grilling and
baking as otherwise soiling can burn
on and become impossible to
remove.
Clean the oven compartment and
inside of the door with a clean
washing-up sponge, hot water and a
little washing-up liquid. You can use
the hard surface of a washing-up
sponge to clean the oven
compartment if necessary.
After cleaning, wipe the surface with
clean water to remove any cleaning
agent residues.
Then dry the oven compartment and
the inside of the door with a cloth.
Useful tip: Soaking the soiling for a few

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

Safety instructions for installation
Risk of damage from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the steam oven.
The steam oven must only be installed by a qualified person.
The connection data (frequency and voltage) on the steam oven’s
data plate must correspond with those of the electricity supply in
order to ensure that no damage can occur to the steam oven.
Compare this data before connecting the appliance. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use them to
connect the steam oven to the power supply.
The socket and on-off switch should be easily accessible after the
steam oven has been installed.
The steam oven must be positioned so that you can see the
contents of a cooking container placed on the top shelf level.
Otherwise there is a risk of injuries or spillages of hot food.

Electrical connection
We recommend that you connect the
steam oven to the electricity supply
using a suitable switched electrical
socket. This simplifies servicing. The
socket must be easily accessible after
the steam oven has been installed.
Risk of damage from incorrect
connection.
Danger of injury! Miele cannot be
held liable for unauthorised
installation, maintenance and repair
work as this can be dangerous to
users.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage or injury (e.g. electric shock)
caused by the lack of or inadequacy
of an on-site earthing system.
If the plug is removed from the
connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the steam
oven must be connected to the
electrical supply by a suitably
qualified and competent electrician.
If the socket is no longer accessible,
or if a hard-wired connection is
planned, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for
all poles. Suitable means of
disconnection include switches with
an all-pole contact gap of at least
3mm. These include miniature circuit
breakers, fuses and relays. The
connection data is given on the data
plate. Please ensure this information
matches the household mains
electricity supply.
After installation, ensure that all
electrical components are shielded
and cannot be accessed by users.

residual current device (RCD) with a trip
range of 30mA.
Replacing the mains connection
cable
If replacing the mains connection cable,
it must be replaced with a cable type
H05VV-F, available from Miele.
