This appliance complies with all rele
vant legal safety requirements. Im
proper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using
the appliance for the first time, read
the operating instructions carefully.
They contain important notes on the
safety, operation and care of the ap
pliance. This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents and damage to the
appliance.
Installation and connection

and connected by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with local and national electrical and plumbing safety regulations.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.
The electrical safety of this appli
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap
pliance and an effective earthing sys
tem, which complies with local and na
tional safety regulations. It is most im
portant that this basic safety require
ment is tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec
tric shock).

Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap
pliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
For safety reasons this appliance
must only be operated as a built-in
appliance. This is necessary to ensure
that all electrical components are
shielded.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
The appliance must be installed at
such a height that small children
cannot reach the appliance door which
gets very hot in use.
The top edge of the appliance door
should be at eye level. If it is too
high, you will find it difficult to safely ac
cess all levels when putting dishes into
the oven and taking them out, and there
is a danger of food spillages and possi
ble scalding.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guar
antee.

Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not use the appliance to heat
up food in tins. Pressure will build
up inside them and they will explode
causing damage to the appliance. Dan
ger of injury and scalding.
Do not leave cooked foods stand
ing for an unneccessary length of
time in the oven. This is to prevent con
densation building up which could
cause corrosion to the appliance.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaning appliance to clean
this appliance. Pressurised steam
could cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components, for which
the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.
The appliance is designed to de-
tect and then self-correct certain
operational faults. If a fault is detected,
the fault messages F01 to F54 will appear in the display. The door of the ap
pliance can only be opened when the
fault message is flashing in the display.
If the fault message is not flashing, the
appliance is still processing the fault.
See section "Problem solving guide" for
further information.
On aluminium framed appliances
with a glass lift-up door, the frames
as well as the lift-up door handle are
made from aluminium which is suscep
tible to damage by abrasive, alkaline
and acidic cleaning agents. Do not use
-
a cleaning agent on these surfaces. It
is essential to follow the cleaning in
structions given in the section "Appli
ance front". Soiling should be wiped off
as soon as possible after using the ap
pliance. If the soiling is left for a long
time it can have a damaging effect on
the aluminium surfaces.

Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from injury and
burning
When in use the appliance be
comes hot and remains hot for
some time after being switched off. Be
careful when the oven door is hot, that
you only touch the door button and the
door handle. Keep children away.
Always use heat-resistant pot hold
ers or oven gloves when working
with a hot appliance. Do not let them
get damp or wet, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of burning yourself.
On models which are not fitted in
combination with an oven, pull out
the shelf underneath the appliance before opening the door. You can place
hot containers on the shelf and it will
also collect any drops of hot water.
On no account attempt to force the
door open during a programme.
The door may only be opened when:
-
When putting dishes into the oven
or taking them out, take care not to
spill the contents. Do not come into
contact with hot steam. Danger of
scalding.
When cooking food which has a
tendency to boil over, e.g. soup,
casseroles etc, the cooking tempera
tures selected must not exceed 100 °C.
-
Otherwise there could be a danger of
scalding when the door is opened.
If bottling, do not exceed a cooking
temperature of 95 °C (90 °C where
the appliance is installed higher than
1000 m above sea level). Higher temperatures can cause the jars to crack.
Danger of injury.
-
- the cooling down phase is finished
- the audible tone has sounded
- the indicator light in the Stop touch
pad has gone out and

Practical Tips
Suitable containers
Stainless steel cooking containers are
supplied with the appliance.
Other containers, in a variety of sizes,
both perforated and solid, are available
as optional extras.
When choosing the most suitable con
tainer for the particular food you are
cooking, please note:
Use perforated cooking containers
–
whenever possible, e.g. for cooking
vegetables. The steam can reach the
food from all sides and the food is
cooked evenly.
– If using a perforated container to
cook fish in its skin, grease the container beforehand.
– With large items of food, such as
whole potatoes, the steam can work
effectively because there are spaces
between the individual pieces into
which the steam can penetrate. This
way a large quantity will take the
same time to cook as a smaller
amount and large, deep containers
can be used. Where possible space
the food out to allow the steam more
room.
-
More compact dishes such as cas
–
seroles or bakes, or 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. It is
best to use 2 or 3 flatter containers
rather than one deep one for this
type of food and then only fill them
between 3 and 5 cm deep. Cooking
times quoted are calculated on this
principle. Deeper dishes will take
longer to cook.
You will find various tips on how to use
the steam oven in the following sections.
You can also use your own containers
and dishes. However, please note the
following:
– The container must be heat resistant
to 120 °C. Heat resistant glass or ceramic dishes, porcelain (chinaware),
stainless steel or enamel dishes are
all suitable.
–
Food will take considerably longer to
cook than the time quoted in a dish
with thick sides.
-
30
–
Place the container on the separator
tray supplied.
–
Ensure that the container does not
touch the walls of the cooking com
partment so that the steam can
reach the food from all sides.

Cooking with steam
Advantages of cooking with steam
Steam prevents food from drying out
–
so it remains moist and juices are not
lost. This applies to a wide variety of
food, including dumplings, steam
puddings, fish and meat dishes, as
well as vegetables.
Food does not brown or get crisp
–
from over-cooking. Cheese melts
perfectly without getting burnt. It is a
healthy way of cooking and food re
tains its flavours better than with con
ventional cooking.

Cooking with steam
Tips on steaming
We recommend using:
–
the Normal 100 °C programme (with
out pressure) for delicate food, e.g.
broccoli, fish etc.
The Intensive cooking 120 °C
programme (with pressure) for more
robust food, e.g. vegetables, pulses,
boiling bones for stock etc.
When cooking frozen food, e.g. veg
–
etables, ensure that any large
clumps frozen together are broken
up first so that they cook evenly. The
cooking time is approximately the
same as for fresh vegetables.
– Cooking with steam retains the true
taste of the food better than conventional cooking. Therefore, food
should not be seasoned until after it
has been cooked.
– Cooking liquids do not boil away.
They are either absorbed by the
food, as with rice and pasta, or they
remain in the dish to form a sauce,
as with casseroles. The sauce can
then be thickened or added to after
cooking.
When cooking meat without adding
–
any additional liquid to the con
tainer, the meat juices can be used
to make gravy or as the basis for a
-
sauce.
If you wish to add additional liquid
–
when cooking meat using the Inten
sive cooking 120 °C programme
(with pressure), it is very important
not to add too much liquid as this
can cause the container to boil over.
-
If necessary add liquid, e.g. stock,
after cooking.
You can select any runner level. You
–
can also cook on several levels at
the same time. This will not alter the
cooking time.
– Because the Intensive cooking
120 °C programme uses pressure,
cooking will only take approx. half
the time it would take if using a conventional oven.
– To avoid any transfer of tastes
caused by moisture dripping down
from above, solid containers should
be placed above any perforated
containers or the separator tray can
be used. (See the section on cooking
whole meals).
-
-
35
Reheating
Your steam oven is very effective at re
heating dishes which have been pre
pared previously.
Proceed as follows:
Place the food on a flat plate and
^
cover it with a deeper plate or some
heat-resistant foil.
Now place the plate on the separator
^
-
-
tray.
Switch on the appliance.
^
Reduce the pre-set temperature to
^
95 °C.
Select a cooking time of between 5-8
^
minutes, depending on the type of
food.
Press START.

temperature. Baked items should not
be defrosted in the steam oven.
Proceed as follows:

^
Reduce the pre-set temperature to
^
50-60 °C (see chart).
Select the defrosting time (see chart).
^
Press START.
^
Tips on defrosting
– All meat and poultry should be fully
defrosted before cooking.
– When defrosting, place food which
will drip, such as meat or poultry, in a
perforated container and place a
solid container underneath it. This
way the frozen food will not be lying
in defrosted liquid.
Fish does not need to be fully de
–
frosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning.
Turn, stir or separate food about
–
half-way through the defrosting time.
Allow food to stand at room tempera
–
ture at the end of the defrosting time.
This standing time (see chart) is nec
essary to ensure that the food is fully
defrosted right through to the core.
Do not refreeze food once it has
–
thawed.
– For defrosting frozen ready made
meals follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.
The time needed for defrosting depends on the type and weight of the
food, and at what temperature it was
frozen.
-
-
-
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
poultry. Do not use the liquid from
defrosted poultry. Pour it away and
wash the containers, the sink and
your hands. Danger of salmonella
contamination.
–
Food which will not drip can be
placed in a perforated container
once the wrappping has been re
moved.

Meal planning
In general, the cooking times will vary
according to the type of food. This
means that you will need to open the
steam oven at different times to add a
particular dish. Calculate cooking times
as shown in the example below:
Tuna steak 6-8 minutes
with
Baby new potatoes 10-12 minutes
(see menu suggestion 2 on the chart).
Proceed as follows:
^ Switch on the appliance.
^ Place the dish with the longest cook-
ing time, e.g. the baby new potatoes
in the cooking compartment.
^ Calculate the time difference be-
tween the two dishes, (12 less 8 = 4
minutes) and set this as the cooking
time.
Tips on cooking whole meals
When cooking on two levels you can
avoid any carry-over of taste or smell
caused by food dripping, by
placing the separator tray in between
–
the containers or
placing the perforated container on
–
the lower level and the solid con
tainer on the higher level.
-
^ Press START.
^
After four minutes and the cooling
down phase, place the second dish
in the oven, e.g. the Tuna steak.
^
Set the cooking time for the second
dish, i.e. 8 minutes.
^
Press START.
At the end of the cooking time an audi
ble tone will sound and you can then
remove both dishes at the same time.
40
-
Blanching
You can use your steam oven to blanch
vegetables to prepare them for freez
ing. Blanching (short heat treatment) is
usually necessary so that the enzymes
which are contained in the vegetables
are made inactive. Active enzymes
cause changes in colour and also
break down substances, for example
vitamin C.
Asparagus, cucumber and herbs need
not be blanched.
As a rule, fruit can be frozen raw. Only
a few varieties which go brown easily
(apples, pears) should be blanched
first.
Proceed as follows:
^ Switch on the appliance.
^ Put the prepared vegetables
(cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into
a perforated cooking container.
^ Select the Normal cooking
programme. The pre-set temperature
of 100 °C is suitable for blanching.
-
Set a time of 1-2 minutes.
^
Press START.
^
Once blanched, plunge the vegeta
^
bles into cold water to cool them
down quickly and then drain them
thoroughly.
The vegetables/fruit can now be frozen.
-

Bottling
When bottling on no account select
a cooking temperature of more than
95 °C (90 °C if the steam oven is in
stalled at altitudes over 1,000 m
above sea level). Otherwise the jars
would explode - danger of injury.

Although this is a "steam oven", un
der no circumstances should a
"steam cleaning appliance" be used
to clean it. The steam could attack
the electrical components and
cause a short circuit. The manufac
turer cannot accept responsibility for
damage caused in this way.
Never use cleaners containing
alkalines / soda, acids or chlorides
or abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
hard brushes, scouring pads or
cloths, steel wool. These attack the
surfaces and cause damage.
-
-
Appliance front
The controls and any glass surfaces
should be cleaned using a mild solution
of hot water with a little washing up liquid, applied with a damp cloth. Wipe
dry using a soft cloth.
Cleaning and care
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a proprietary cleaner for stainless
steel. Apply following the direction of
the "grain".
If desired you could use a suitable pro
prietary conditioning agent for stainless
steel afterwards which is designed to
prevent water marks and smears ad
hering to the surface. After cleaning the
surfaces apply the conditioning agent
sparingly over the whole area. Cleaning
and conditioning agents for stainless
steel are available from your dealer and
retail outlets.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,

Aluminium framed appliances with
glass lift-up doors:
On aluminium framed appliances with a
glass lift-up door, the frames as well as
the lift-up door handle are made from
aluminium which is susceptible to dam
age by abrasive, alkaline and acidic
cleaning agents. Do not use cleaning
agents for stainless steel on these sur
faces. It is essential to clean these with
care as described above. Soiling
should be wiped off as soon as possi
ble after using the oven. If the soiling is
left for a long time it can have a damag
ing effect on the aluminium surfaces.
-
-
-
-
47
Cleaning and care
Cooking containers, separator
tray and drain filter
These should be washed, rinsed and
dried each time they are used.
Soak any stubborn soiling first before
removing with a soft brush.
All the items mentioned are dishwasher
safe.
Door seal
The door seal should also be cleaned
each time the appliance is used. The
seal must not be cleaned in a dishwasher. Clean by hand only using a
sponge and a little washing up liquid
and hot water. Dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth.
Depending on how often you use your
steam oven the door seal will need replacing every 1 to 2 years.
Safety valve
The safety valve will also need replac
ing every 1 to 2 years.
Open the door.
^
Pull the old safety valve out of the
^
door interior.

Cleaning and care
Pull-out shelf and cooking
compartment
The pull-out shelf (only on models
which are not fitted in combination with
an oven), the cooking compartment
and the inside of the appliance door
should be cleaned and dried each time
the steam oven is used. Allow the appli
ance to cool down before cleaning.
Most cooking residues can be removed
easily with a cloth and a mild solution of
hot water and washing up liquid.
In areas where the water is very hard, a
white deposit can build up on interior
walls. This can be removed with a little
vinegar on a damp cloth.
If the water supply in your area is very
hard discolouration can occur on the
oven interior walls after prolonged use
of the machine. These can be removed
using a proprietary citric acid based
descaling agent or with a combination
cleaning agent designed for use on ceramic hobs and stainless steel.
Wipe the pull-out shelf and the cooking
compartment out with clean water and
then rub dry.
If necessary, the pull-out shelf can be
removed completely for cleaning.
To remove the pull-out shelf:
Pull the shelf out as far as possible.

Cleaning and care
Descaling
Descaling must only be carried out
on a cold appliance. Otherwise
harmful vapours can build up.
Descaling agents contain irritants.
Avoid contact with the skin and do
not inhale the vapours.
If you do come into contact with
descaling agent it should be rinsed
off immediately with plenty of fresh
water. In the event of an adverse re
action or if it has been inhaled or in
gested seek medical help.
Take care on aluminium fronted appliances (see dataplate), that
descaling agent does not come into
contact with aluminium surfaces.
Descaling agents can cause discolouration to appear on aluminium and
must therefore be wiped off immediately.
Always ensure that the container is
firmly closed. Keep out of the reach
of children.
To begin the descaling programme:
Wait until the appliance has cooled
^
down.
Close the door and switch on the
^
empty appliance.
E.EE alternating with 0.00 will appear in
the display.
-
-
^ Press START.
The appliance will now prepare for the
descaling programme and a descaling
time of 30 minutes will appear in the
display. This time cannot be altered.
The steam unit should be descaled as
soon as possible when the letters E.EE
alternating with 0.00 appear in the dis
play. Your appliance has a special
descaling programme.
