Warning and Safety instructions

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on its installation, safety, use and maintenance. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or metal capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Please stick the extra data plate for your appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this booklet.

Keep these instructions in a safe place for reference, and pass them on to any future user.

Technical safety

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match 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.

This appliance may be connected

via a fused plug and switched socket. If you wish to connect it to an isolator switch, or if the appliance is supplied without a plug, it must be installed and connected by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, 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).

Never open the casing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Page 10

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

For safety reasons, the appliance

must only be used after it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only and is not to be used for commercial purposes.

This appliance must only be used

as described in these instructions. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

Do not immerse the water

container in water, or clean it in a dishwasher. Connecting the water container into the appliance when wet could cause an electric shock.

For reasons of hygiene and to

prevent the build-up of moisture in the appliance, the water container should be emptied after each use.

The drip channel should be wiped

dry with a soft cloth after each use.

Leave the door open until the

cooking compartment is completely dry.

If the appliance is not going to be

used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, it should be thoroughly cleaned beforehand to prevent the build-up of odours etc. Refer to "Cleaning and heating up for the first time" and carry out the procedure as described. Leave the door open afterwards.

Page 11

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

To safeguard against burning,

keep children away from the appliance at all times. This is particularly important when the appliance is in operation as children might try to open the door.

The appliance is only intended for

use by adults who have read these instructions. It is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away, and do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Use the safety features to prevent

children operating the appliance or altering the settings.

Warning: Take care in the area

around the door hinges. Danger of injury. Keep children well away.

Do not allow children to lean against the open oven door, nor to

sit on it or swing on it.

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 or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

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. Ensure the appliance prevents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. See "Disposal of your old appliance" for further details.

Page 12

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 store cooked food in the

oven. The moisture in the food can lead to corrosion in the appliance.

Do not use metallic containers or

utensils in the oven which are likely to rust. This can cause corrosion.

Use the descaling tablets supplied

with the appliance (see "Optional accessories" for reordering details) or a proprietary citric acid based descaling agent to descale the appliance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean this appliance. The steam could reach 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.

Do not place heavy objects on the

open door. The door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg.

The appliance is designed in such

a way that there will always be a little residual water left in the water container after use. If there is no residual water, there is something wrong. Call the Service Department.

Page 13

Warning and Safety instructions

Protection from burning and scalding

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 scalding or burning yourself.

When putting cooking containers

or the condensate tray into the oven or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents. Avoid contact with hot steam, and do not touch the hot oven interior walls. Danger of burning and scalding.

Take care not to tip the water

container when taking it out of the appliance. Hot water can scald.

Appliance faults

In there is any damage to the

appliance, it must be switched off and disconnected from the mains supply immediately. It must not be used again until it has been repaired. If the appliance has not yet been fully installed, the electricity cable must be disconnected from the supply point. If connected via a plug and socket, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Contact the Miele Service Department. Do not reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity supply until after it has been repaired.

Repairs should only be carried out

by a suitably qualified and trained person in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be very dangerous and could damage the appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Never open the housing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.

Page 14

Warning and Safety instructions

Futher safety notes

When using an electric socket near

the appliance, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the appliance door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods, e.g. poultry, may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

If using plastic cooking containers,

make sure that they are heat- and steam-resistant to 100 °C. Otherwise they may melt, distort or break.

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 caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

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 or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. 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 and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. If connected by a plug, the plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

Using for the first time

Cleaning and heating up for the first time

Take the water container out of the appliance and remove the insert (see "Cleaning and care"). Rinse the water container and the insert thoroughly by hand using hot water. Do not use any washing-up liquid or detergent.

Do not clean the water container or the insert in a dishwasher. Do not immerse the water container in water.

Take all accessories out of the steam oven and wash them in a mild solution of washing-up liquid and hot water or in the dishwasher (this does not apply to the water container and insert - see above).

The interior of the steam oven has been treated with a conditioning agent before leaving the factory. To remove this, clean the cooking compartment with a mild solution of washing up liquid and hot water and then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Now fill the water container with mains tap water (see "Before each use") and then run the Cook Universal (100 °C) for 15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation".

This process flushes out the waterways and sets the appliance for the altitude in your area.

If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than 300 m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care").

Warning! A lot of steam will be emitted from the appliance the first time it is used, and the first time it is descaled after moving house.

Before each use

When using a perforated cooking

container, push the condensate tray onto the lowest shelf runner to catch any drips.

Fill the water container.

You do not need to remove the insert.

Only use mains tap water. Never use distilled or mineral water.

The water level must be between the two markings (min. 0.75 l and max.

1.2 l). These are located inside and outside the container. On no account exceed the upper or maximum level marker. The amount of water required will vary depending on what you are cooking. The maximum quantity of 1.2 litres of water is sufficient to run the Cook Universal 100 °C function for approx. 2 hours, providing the door is not opened. The water level in the water container is represented by a symbol in the display. Using hot water will shorten the heating-up time.

Always use both hands when

carrying the water container, and push it into the appliance until it connects. Take care not to let any water spill out.

Practical tips

Suitable containers

Some 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 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.

Heat-resistant glass, ceramic, porcelain, stainless steel and enamel dishes are all suitable. Important:

If using plastic cooking containers,

–

make sure that they are heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to withstand hot steam.

Food will take considerably longer to

–

cook than the time quoted if the dish has thick sides.

– Place the container on the rack

supplied.

– Ensure that there is a gap of at least

3 cm between the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container.

–

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 shallow containers rather than one deep one for these types of foods, and then fill them only 3-5 cm deep.

Practical tips

Tips on steaming

In general, the cooking durations for

–

cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan.

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 shelf level. You

–

can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration.

– Food does not brown or get crisp

from over-cooking. It is gently steamed, and not roasted or baked. Cheese melts perfectly without getting burnt. It is a healthy way of cooking, and it brings out the distinct flavour of the food.

– 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 duration is approximately the same as for fresh vegetables.

–

Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together.

Frozen fish should be partially

–

defrosted before cooking. We recommend using the "Defrost" function (see "Defrosting" for more information).

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.

Only fill solid containers

–

/4full with

liquid. Dried foods like pasta and rice must

–

be cooked in liquid. Pasta should be well covered with liquid. With pulses, grains, parboiled rice, basmati rice and wild rice, the proportion of food to liquid should be 1:1, with brown rice 1:1.5 and risotto rice 1:2.

– When cooking noodles, follow the

manufacturer's instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration.

–

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.

–

You can thicken sauces in the steam oven by adding flour and butter to liquid (40 g flour and 40 g butter to

0.5 litres liquid).

Page 54

Practical tips

Grease perforated containers

–

beforehand if using them to cook fish, and solid containers if using to cook dishes containing eggs.

When cooking fish or food with a

–

distinctive colour (e.g. spinach) in a perforated container, place the container directly above the condensate tray to avoid any transfer of tastes or colour to other food.

Yeast dough can be put in the oven

–

to prove. Select Cook Universal and reduce the recommended temperature to 40 °C. Cover the dough.

The weight entry in the Automatic

–

programmes refers to the weight per piece. The setting and therefore the cooking duration is the same whether cooking only one 250 g piece of salmon or ten 250 g pieces at the same time.

Frozen food can be defrosted in this appliance in much less time than when defrosting at room temperature.

Proceed as follows:

Place the food in a suitable container

or on the rack. Select and confirm the Defrost

function. Change the recommended

temperature if necessary (see chart) and confirm your selection.

Select the defrost time (see chart)

and start the programme.

Tips on defrosting

– All meat and poultry should be fully

defrosted before cooking. When defrosting meat or poultry place the condensate tray underneath the rack to catch the defrosted liquid, so that the meat is not lying in this liquid.

Practical 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 at 60 °C should be enough.

When defrosting food which has

–

frozen together, e.g. berries, chops, fish fillets etc separate or break it up 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.

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 tray, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning!

–

Food which does not drip can be placed on the rack or in a dish once the wrapping has been removed.

–

Defrost baked goods in a sealed freezer bag.

Practical tips

Cooking whole meals

It is very economical and practical to cook a whole meal at the same time in the steam oven.

Proceed as follows:

Place cooking containers on different

levels or place them side by side or one on top of the other on the rack.

In general, cooking durations 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 (Function: Cook Universal / 100 °C).

Rice 20 minutes Fish fillet 6 minutes Broccoli 4 minutes

First place the dish with the longest

cooking duration (the rice), in the oven and set a duration of 20 minutes.

As soon as the set temperature has

been reached, set the minute minder for the difference between the first and second cooking durations, i.e. the time until the second dish has to be placed in the oven (14 minutes). Confirm the minute minder time.

After 14 minutes, place the second

dish (the fish fillet) in the oven.

^ As soon as the set temperature has

been reached, set the minute minder for the time until the third dish (the broccoli) has to be placed in the oven (2 minutes). Confirm the minute minder time.

^ After 2 minutes, place the third dish

(the broccoli) in the oven.

At the end of the cooking duration you can remove all the dishes at the same time.

Page 60

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 vegetables/fruit

(cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into a perforated cooking container.

Select and confirm the Cook

Vegetables function. Confirm the recommended temperature of 100 °C.

^ Set and confirm a duration of

1 minute.

^ Once blanched, plunge the

vegetables/fruit into ice cold water to cool them down quickly. Drain them well.

The vegetables/fruit can now be frozen.

Preparing yoghurt

Proceed as follows:

Mix 100 g yoghurt (with live culture)

with 1 litre of fresh milk. The yoghurt and milk should have the same percentage fat content. If using unpasteurised milk you will need to heat it up to 90 °C (do not boil) and then leave it to cool. Otherwise the yoghurt will not set.

Pour this milk mixture into 6 or 7

portion sized glass dishes and cover with heat resistant cling film. Special yoghurt jars may also be used.

^ Place the covered dishes on the

rack.

^ Select and confirm Cook Universal

and reduce the recommended temperature to 40 °C.

^ Set a duration of 5 hours.

Allow the yoghurt to cool and then place in the refrigerator.

It will not achieve its maximum set until it has been thoroughly chilled.

Page 61

Practical tips

Disinfecting baby bottles

The steam oven can be used to disinfect baby bottles and other containers. Check beforehand that all parts, teats etc., are declared by the manufacturer to be heat-resistant to 100 °C.

Proceed as follows:

Place the condensate tray on the

lowest shelf level and place the rack above it.

Dismantle, clean and thoroughly

rinse the bottles and space the individual parts out on the rack, ensuring that they do not touch one another. This allows the hot steam to reach them from all sides.

Select and confirm the Cook

Universal function. Confirm the recommended temperature of 100 °C.

^ Set and confirm a duration of

15 minutes.

^ Dry thoroughly using a fresh, clean

tea towel after disinfection. All parts of the bottles must be completely dry before they are reassembled to keep them germ free.

Page 62

Cleaning and care

General notes

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and allow it to cool down to a safe temperature 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 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.

Do not use cleaners containing alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides, oven sprays, dishwasher cleaner or abrasive cleaning agents, hard brushes, scouring pads and cloths or steel wool. You should also avoid using sponges etc. which have previously been used with abrasive cleaning agents, as these would damage the surface.

Do not use commercial cleaning agents. Only use agents designed for domestic use.

Do not use cleaning agents or washing up liquids containing aliphatics as these could cause the seals to swell.

Page 63

Cleaning and care

Appliance front and control panel

The appliance front and controls should be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or a mild solution of hot water with a little washing-up liquid, applied with a damp cloth. Then wipe over with clean water, and finally dry with a soft cloth.

See data plate for type of front. N.B. Appliances with glass fronts are fitted with an aluminium handle.

Glass

For appliances with glass fronts, a proprietary glass cleaning agent may be used.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel. To help prevent resoiling, a conditioning agent for stainless steel can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Aluminium

This material is susceptible to scratching and to damage from alkalis and acids. It is therefore essential to clean it with care, as described above. Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or descaling agents on these surfaces. Remove soiling immedi ately, as leaving it could result in the surface discolouring or altering.

See "Optional accessories" for details of accessories for cleaning and care.

Page 64

Cleaning and care

Removing the steam oven door

It is much easier to clean the steam oven interior if you remove the door first.

Proceed as follows:

Open the door fully.

Flip up the release levers in front of

the door hinges. Slowly close the door until the raised

levers are touching the frame of the oven interior.

Holding the door evenly with both

hands, lift the door up and off the hinges.

To re-fit the door, reverse the above procedure.

^ Fit the door on the hinges. ^ Open the door fully. ^ Then push the levers back down.

Close the door.

Page 65

Cleaning and care

Oven interior

Dry the oven interior, oven interior roof, door seal, drip channel, inside of the door and the compartment for the water container after each use. Use a sponge or absorbent cloth to wipe off the condensate which has built up.

Remove grease deposits with a mild solution of washing up liquid and warm water and wipe with clean water.

Over time, the floor heater can become discoloured by drops of liquid. This discolouration is easy to remove with a proprietary cleaner for ceramic surfaces, such as the Miele ceramic hob cleaner (see "Optional accessories"). Follow the manufacturer's instructions. After cleaning, wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove any cleaning agent residues.

The door seal can become porous and brittle over time. If this is the case, it should be replaced with a new seal. Door seals can be ordered from the Miele Spare Parts Department. See back page for contact details.

Automatic door release

Make sure that the door release does not get clogged with food deposits. Wipe off any deposits immediately with a sponge and a mild solution of washing up liquid and warm water. Wipe with clean water.

Side runners

The side runners are easy to remove which makes it easier to clean the sides of the oven.

Proceed as follows:

^ Pull on the fixing knob to release it.

Remove the runner by first pulling it to the side a and then out from the back b .

Condensate tray, rack and cooking containers

The condensate tray, rack and cooking containers should be washed and dried each time they are used.

They are all dishwasher safe.

The runners can be cleaned with water and washing up liquid or in a dishwasher.

To re-fit the runners, reverse the above procedure. First fit them into the back of the oven and then push them in at the sides.

Page 66

Cleaning and care

Water container

Remove, empty and dry the water container after each use. Also remove the insert from the water container.

Release the insert by pushing the

After cleaning, dry both parts of the

insert thoroughly before replacing it in the water container. When replacing the insert (see illustration), guide it in at an angle a and push the side with the opening downwards b.

Do not immerse the water container in water or clean it in a dishwasher.

It is important to empty the water container after each use for hygiene reasons, and also to prevent condensate building up in the appliance.

Do not use scouring pads or hard brushes.

Page 67

Cleaning and care

Coupling seal

The coupling seal needs to be lubricated regularly. If the water container becomes difficult to remove and replace or the fault message F20 appears, rub a small amount of the silicone grease supplied (see "Accessories supplied") into the inside of the coupling seal. When doing this, do not detach the seal but leave it in place.

When handling silicone grease, please observe the following safety measures:

The coupling seal should be replaced with a new one if it becomes brittle or porous over time or if an unusually large amount of water collects on the floor of the water container compartment.

Coupling seals can be ordered from the Miele Spare Parts Department. See back page for contact details.

Only use the silicone grease supplied. On no account must margarine or oil or any other domestic grease or fat be used, as these can cause the seal to swell.

–

Remove any silicone grease from your skin either by wiping it off or by washing it off.

–

If the grease gets into the eyes it must be rinsed out with plenty of clean water.

–

If it is swallowed, seek medical advice.

Page 68

Cleaning and care

Descaling

Use the descaling tablets supplied supplied with the appliance (see "Optional accessories" for reordering details) or a proprietary citric acid based descaling agent to descale the appliance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

With aluminium appliances (see data plate) ensure that the descaling agent does not come into contact with the aluminium surfaces as this could cause marks. If, however, any descaling agent gets onto an aluminium surface, wipe it away immediately.

The water container will need descaling after a certain number of operating hours. The display will alert you when this needs done.

Please descale the steam oven Number of uses until appliance locks out: 10

The appliance will lock out after you use it for the tenth time. If you want to descale the appliance before it locks out, you

Problem solving guide

Installation work and repairs to electrical components of this appliance must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

What to do if:

... you cannot switch the appliance on.

... the fan can still be heard after the appliance has been switched off.

The appliance is fitted with a fan which removes steam from the oven. The fan will continue to run for a while after the appliance has been switched off.

... the water container has become harder to put into the appliance and take out again.

Lightly lubricate the coupling seal on the water container with silicone grease, as described in "Coupling seal".

Check whether the mains fuse has blown.

If this is not the case, then disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply for approx. 1 minute. To do this:

–

switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug, or

–

switch off at the isolator, or

–

withdraw the mains fuse.

Reconnect to the mains supply and switch the appliance on. If it still will not start, contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Service Department.

... the heating-up phase lasts an unusually long time.

Check the bottom of the water container. If a thick layer of limescale has built-up, check the water hardness level that has been set. Set the correct water hardness level for your water supply (see "Setting the water hardness") and descale the appliance as described in "Descaling".

If the water hardness level was in fact set correctly or the problem occurs again, contact the Service Department.

Page 71

Problem solving guide

... after moving house the appliance no longer switches from the heating-up phase to the cooking phase.

Altitude affects the boiling point of water. The appliance must be reset to take into account the different water boiling point in its new location (see "Cleaning and heating up for the first time".)

... during operation an unusually large amount of steam escapes or steam escapes from parts of the steam oven where it does not usually.

Check whether – the door is closed properly. – the door seal is fitted correctly. If

necessary, press it in all the way round the door to make sure it is fitted evenly.

.... F and a number appear in the

display.

This combination indicates a fault.

F 20: The appliance does not heat

–

up.

First of all, check whether the water container has been pushed right into the appliance so that it connects. Then switch the appliance off and then back on again.

If the fault occurs again, lightly lubricate the coupling seal on the water container with silicone grease, as described in "Coupling seal".

If the appliance still will not start, switch it off and contact the Miele Service Department.

– Other fault messages:

Call the Service department.

–

the door seal is damaged, e.g. cracks can be seen. The seal must be replaced with a new one.

If this does not solve the problem, call the Miele Service Department.

... a whistling sound is heard when the appliance is switched on again.

When the door is closed, the pressure has to equalise, which can cause a whistling sound. This is not a fault.

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of plug fitted).

Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier.
