when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations. 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.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric 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
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
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 top edge of the appliance door
should not be above eye level. If it
is too high, you will find it difficult to
access all levels safely when putting
dishes into the oven and taking them
out, and there is a danger of food
spillages and possible scalding.
9

Warning: Take care in the area
around the hinges. Danger of
injury! Keep children well away.
Food packaging (e.g. cling film,
polystyrene) and plastic wrappings
must be kept out of the reach of babies
and young children. Danger of
suffocation. Dispose of all packaging
safely as soon as possible.
11
Warning and safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not use the appliance to heat
up food in sealed jars and 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.
Do not leave cooked foods
standing in the oven for an
unneccessary length of time. This is to
prevent condensation building up
which could cause corrosion to the
appliance.
Do not use metallic containers or
utensils in the oven which are likely
to rust. This can cause corrosion.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could reach the electrical components
and cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
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 damage by abrasive,
alkaline and acidic cleaning agents. Do
not use cleaning agents for stainless
steel on these surfaces. It is essential to
follow the cleaning instructions given in
the paragraph "Appliance front" in
"Cleaning and care". Soiling should be
wiped off as soon as possible after
using the appliance. If the soiling is left
for a long time, it can have a damaging
effect on the aluminium surfaces.
The appliance is designed to
detect and then self-correct certain
operational faults. If a fault is detected,
the fault messages F01 to F61 will
appear in the display. The door of the
appliance 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 "Problem
solving guide" for further information.
12
Warning and safety instructions
Protection from burning and
scalding
The appliance, especially the door,
becomes extremely hot during use,
and remains hot for some time after
switching off. Be careful only to touch
the door button and door handle when
the oven door is hot.
For added protection, it is
advisable to use heat-resistant pot
holders or gloves when using the
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:
- the cooling down phase is finished,
- the audible tone has sounded,
- the g symbol in the time display
flashes.
Otherwise there is a danger of burning
or scalding.
Attempts to open the door before a
programme has run its course will
cause an alarm to sound, and the word
door to appear in the time display.
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
temperatures 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
shatter. Danger of injury.
13
Warning and safety instructions
Appliance faults
In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance
immediately. Close the stopcock and
disconnect from the mains electricity
supply. Contact the Service
Department.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when it is switched off at the wall
socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn
or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
Repairs may only be carried out by
a service technician authorised by
the manufacturer. Repairs and other
work by unqualified persons could be
very dangerous and invalidate the
guarantee. Never open the housing of
the appliance.
Further safety notes
When using an electric socket near
the oven, care should be taken that
the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot get trapped by the oven door.
The insulation on the cable could
become damaged, giving rise to an
electric shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked. Many factors
will affect the overall cooking time,
including the size and amount of food
and its temperature. Some foods may
contain micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by cooking at a sufficiently
high temperature for long enough.
Warning: Take care in the area
around the hinges. Danger of
injury.
Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures.
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 guarantee.
14
Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
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.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about available recycling schemes.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Before discarding an old appliance,
switch off and disconnect it from the
power supply. Cut off and render
any plug useless. Cut off the cable
directly behind the appliance to
prevent misuse. This should be done
by a competent person.
15
Before using for the first time
Do not be concerned if your appliance
makes some unusual noises. They
occur when the steam generating unit
is being filled or emptied out and when
pumping is taking place.
You will also be able to hear the fan
which continues to operate after you
have finished cooking. The fan will
switch off as soon as the appliance has
cooled down.
Please stick the extra data plate
supplied with this appliance in the
space provided at the end of the

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 container 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.
– 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.
You will find various tips on how to use
the steam oven in the following sections
or in the cook book (see "Accessories").
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,
ceramics, porcelain (chinaware),
stainless steel and enamel dishes
are all suitable.
Food will take considerably longer to
–
cook than the time quoted if the dish
has thick sides.
– Place the dish onto the flat, solid
container.
– Ensure that the dish does not touch
the walls of the cooking
compartment so that steam can
reach the food from all sides.
–
–
More compact dishes such as
casseroles 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. The
fuller the container, the longer it will
take to cook. It is best to use 2 or 3
flat containers rather than one deep
one for these types of foods, and
then fill them only 3 - 5 cm deep.
Cooking times quoted are calculated
on this principle. Deeper dishes will
take longer to cook.

Practical tips
Tips on steaming
We recommend using:
–
Steam with pressure ° 120 °C for
robust food, e.g. firm vegetables,
pulses, stock etc.
Steam without pressure P 100 °C
for delicate food, e.g. fruit, delicate
vegetables, fish etc.
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.
– You can select any runner level. You
can also cook on several levels at
the same time. This will not alter the
cooking time.
– 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
retains its flavours better than with
conventional cooking.
When cooking frozen food, e.g.
–
vegetables, 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. food should
therefore be seasoned 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.
– Grease perforated containers
beforehand if used for cooking fish in
its skin, and solid containers if used
for cooking dishes containing eggs.
32
Practical tips
When cooking meat without adding
–
any additional liquid to the
container, the meat juices can be
used to make gravy or as the basis
for a sauce. Put the meat and other
ingredients like vegetables, in a
perforated container. Place a solid
container underneath to catch the
juice.
If you wish to add additional liquid
–
when cooking meat using Steam 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.
When using Steam with pressure
–
°, cooking will only take approx.
half the time it would take in 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.

Practical tips
Frozen food can be defrosted using
steam in this appliance. Defrosting this
way takes much less time than when
defrosting at room temperature.
Proceed as follows:
Place the food to be defrosted in the
^
appliance.
Set the Defrost programme N.
^
Change the pre-set recommended
^
temperature if necessary (see chart) .
Set the duration (see chart).
^
^ Press the Start/Stop button.
Tips on defrosting
– All meat and poultry should be fully
defrosted before cooking. When
defrosting meat or poultry, place the
food in a perforated container and
place the solid container underneath
to catch the defrosted liquid, so that
the meat is not lying in this liquid.
Fish does not need to be fully
–
defrosted 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
–
temperature at the end of the
defrosting time. This standing time
(see chart) is necessary to ensure
that the food is fully defrosted right
through to the core.
Do not refreeze food once it has
–
thawed.
– Defrost deep frozen pre-cooked
meals according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
– Defrost baked goods in a sealed
freezer bag.
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 container, tray, sink and
your hands. Danger of salmonella.
–
Food which will not drip can be
placed in a perforated container
once the wrapping has been
removed.
36
Meal planning
It is very economical and practical to
cook a whole meal at the same time in
the steam oven.
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. Our test kitchen
recommends the following procedure,
as shown in this example (Steam with
pressure °).
Lamb stew
with a dill sauce 8 minutes
Potatoes 8 minutes
Carrots 4 minutes
Proceed as follows:
^ First place the dish with the longest
cooking duration in this example,
both the lamb stew and the potatoes
in the oven.
Practical tips
Set the cooking duration for the
^
second dish, e.g. 4 minutes.
Press the Start/Stop button.
^
At the end of the cooking duration you
can remove all the dishes at the same
time.
^ Select Steam with pressure °.
^
Calculate the cooking duration by
subtracting the shorter cooking
duration from the longer duration, i.e.
4 minutes.
^
Press the Start/Stop button.
^
Once the set duration and the
cooling down phase have elapsed,
place the second dish (carrots) in the
oven.
37
Practical tips
Blanching
You can use your steam oven to blanch
vegetables and fruit to prepare them for
freezing.
Proceed as follows:
Put the prepared fruit or vegetables
^
into a perforated container and place
it in the oven.
Select Steam without pressure P.
^
Set a time of 1-2 minutes.
^
Press the Start/Stop button.
^
Once blanched, plunge the
^
vegetables/fruit into cold water to
ensure rapid cooling and then drain
them throroughly.
The vegetables/fruit can now be frozen.
38
Practical tips
Bottling
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

Safety features
Normally, steam pressure and
temperature will be regulated
automatically by the appliance.
However, if a fault should occur, the
appliance is fitted with two safety
features which protect against the
pressure getting too high (safety valve
and pressure release) and also an
overheating protection device which
protects against the temperature rising
too high.
Please note that the safety valve should
be replaced after 1 to 2 years (see
"Cleaning and care").
The safety valve and the pressure
release can operate individually or, in
some isolated circumstances,
simultaneously.
Safety devices must not be altered
or tampered with.
Safety valve
The safety valve w is located in the
handle. If pressure builds up in the
cooking compartment, the safety valve
trips and steam is released from the
handle to the left-hand side.
Proceed as follows:
Press the Start/Stop button.
^
Wait until the cooling down phase
^
has been completed (see section
“Interrupting a programme”).
Use a blunt tool, e.g. a screwdriver,
^
to press the metal pin of the safety
valve w, located under the handle,
back in.
The steam oven can now be used
again in the normal way.
If the safety valve trips again, contact
the Service department.
41
Safety features
Pressure release
The pressure release x is located
behind the door hinge. The release
consists of a small silicone washer
which rests in a holder. When the
pressure in the cooking compartment is
too high, the silicone washer is pushed
out and steam will come out of the
release opening above and below the
door hinge. Caution - danger of
scalding.
Proceed as follows:
^ Press the Start/Stop button.
^ Wait until the cooling down phase
has been completed (see
"Interrupting a programme").
Fit a new washer in the holder on the
^
inside of the appliance door (see
"Accessories supplied").
The steam oven can now be used
again in the normal way.
If the pressure release washer blows
out again, contact the Service
department.
^
Pull out the shelf (only on models not
fitted in combination with an oven).
^
Open the door.
42
Overheating protection
The overheating protection device is
located on the right-hand side of the
appliance underneath the On/Off
button. This switches the heating off
automatically if the temperature in the
steam generator is too high. The red
button underneath cover cap y will
spring out, FO4 will appear in the
programme/temperature display and
the cooling down phase will begin.
The cooling down phase will be
completed in approx. 1 minute and
several beeps will sound. FO4 will flash
in the programme/temperature display
for a short while and then three
horizontal bars - - - will appear.
Proceed as follows:
Safety features

^
device cover cap y. Press the red
button underneath in again.
^ Replace the cover cap.
The steam oven can now be used
again in the normal way.
^ Switch the appliance off and open
the door.
^ Allow the appliance to cool down for
approx. 30 minutes.
During this time the three bars - - - will
go out.
If the overheating protection device
operates again, contact the Service
department.
43
Safety features
Safety lock
The appliance is equipped with a
system lock which can be used to
prevent it from being switched on by
accident and also to prevent certain
settings from being altered when the
steam oven is operating.
If you wish to use the system lock you
will need to alter the setting (see
"Programming").
If the lock is activated while the steam
oven is ready for use but not
operating, you will be able to switch
the appliance on and off but not
operate it.
If the safety lock is activated when the
oven is in operation then the
appliance can only be used as
follows:
– The recommended temperature can
be decreased but not increased.
– The time which has been set can
only be shortened.
To activate the system lock:

The lock is now deactivated.
Cleaning and care
General notes
Allow the appliance to cool down
before cleaning.
Clean the whole appliance and then dry
it thoroughly after each use.
Make sure the appliance is completely
dry before closing the door.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Never use cleaners containing
alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides,
oven sprays, dishwasher detergents
or abrasive cleaning agents, hard
brushes, scouring pads and cloths
or steel wool. You should also not
use sponges etc. which have
previously been used with abrasive
cleaning agents. These would
damage the surface.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part number 98013530, which is
suitable for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals.
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. For appliances
with glass fronts, a proprietary glass
cleaning agent may be used.
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
damage by abrasive, alkaline and
acidic cleaning agents. It is essential to
clean these with care as described
above. Do not use cleaning agents for
stainless steel on these surfaces.
Soiling should be wiped off as soon as
possible after using the oven. If the
soiling is left for a long time, it can have
a damaging effect on the aluminium
surfaces.
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
proprietary conditioning agent for
stainless steel afterwards which is
designed to prevent water marks and
smears from staining 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 good
retail outlets.
45
Cleaning and care
Cooking containers and drain
filter
The cooking containers and drain filter
should be washed and dried each time
they are used.
Soak any stubborn soiling first before
removing with a soft brush.
They are all dishwasher safe.
Door seal
Clean and dry the door seal by hand
using a mild solution of hot water with a
little washing up liquid, applied with a
damp cloth, after each use. Wipe dry
using a soft cloth. Do not clean the seal
in a dishwasher.
The door seal should be replaced every
1-2 years, depending upon frequency
of use.
Safety valve
The safety valve should be replaced
every 1-2 years, depending upon
frequency of use.
Proceed as follows:
Open the door.
^
Remove the old safety valve from the
^
inside of the door.
Fit the new safety valve. Make sure
^
that the door seal fits correctly.
46
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 after each
use. Allow the appliance to cool down
before cleaning.
Most cooking residues can be removed
easily with a damp 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

become dirty and will require
descaling.
The nozzle must be descaled if the fault
message F05 appears in the display.
Proceed as follows:
Wait until the appliance has cooled
^
down. Carefully open the door and
remove the food which is cooking.
Take care as a large amount of
extremely hot steam may escape
when the door is opened. The food
will also be very hot.
Leave the appliance to cool down
^
with the door open.
Remove the runners (see "Shelf
^
runners")
^ While holding the nut behind the
nozzle in place with a size 17 socket
spanner, unscrew the nozzle with a
