9
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
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
scalding or burning yourself.
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 burning and
scalding.
Do not attempt to force the door
~
open during a programme. Danger of
burning and scalding. The door may
only be opened when:
- the cooling down phase is
finished,
- the beep has stopped,
- the g symbol is flashing in the
time display.
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.
If bottling, do not use temperatures
~
higher than 95 °C (90 °C if the
appliance is installed higher than
1000 m above sea level). Higher
temperatures can cause the jars to
shatter. Danger of inury.
When using an electrical appliance,
~
e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the
steam oven, ensure that the cable of
the electrical appliance does not come
into contact with the hot appliance. The
insulation on the cable could become
damaged, giving rise to an electric
shock hazard.
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.
Descaling must only be carried out
~
on a cold appliance. Otherwise harmful
vapours can form. See "Descaling".
Do not use the appliance without the
~
filter in the bottom of the cooking
compartment in place. Otherwise
coarse soiling could get into the
drainage system and pump, causing a
blockage.
Do not use plastic containers. These
~
melt at high temperatures and if used
with any other function,
Always ensure that food is
~
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some
foods may contain micro-organisms
which are only destroyed by thorough
cooking at a sufficiently high
temperature for long enough.
Therefore, when cooking or reheating
food such as poultry, it is particularly
important that the food is completely
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not leave cooked food in the
~
oven and do not use any cooking
containers which are susceptible to
corrosion as this could lead to
corrosion in the appliance.
The appliance is designed to detect
~
and then self-correct certain
operational faults. If a fault is detected,
the fault messages F06 to F95 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.
Appliances with lift-up door:
~
Leave the lift-up door open whenever
the appliance is being used.
If the appliance is installed behind a
~
kitchen furniture door, it may only be
used with the furniture door open.
Only close the door when the appliance
is switched off and the residual heat
indicators have gone out.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage caused by non-compliance
with these Warning and Safety
instructions.

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 (see "Optional
accessories").
When choosing the most suitable
container for the particular food you are
cooking, please note:
Use perforated cooking containers
–
whenever possible so long as the
food is suitable, 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
more 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
–
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 only3-5cmdeep.
Cooking durations quoted are
calculated on this principle. Deeper
dishes will take longer to cook.
Heat-resistant glass, ceramic,
porcelain, stainless steel and enamel
dishes are all suitable. Important:
– The container must be heat resistant
to 120 °C.
– Food will take considerably longer to
cook than the time quoted if the dish
has thick sides.
– Place the dish on the tray supplied.
–
Ensure that the dish does not touch
the walls of the cooking compartment
so that steam can reach the food
from all sides.

Practical tips
Tips on steaming
We recommend using:
Steam with pressure ° 120 °C for
–
rapidly cooking robust foods.
Steam without pressure P 100 °C
–
for gently cooking delicate foods.
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 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
3
/4full with
liquid.
Soak pulses and grains in cold water
–
before cooking.
Pulses and grains swell during
cooking and so need to be cooked in
liquid. The ratio of pre-soaked pulses
and grains to water is 1:1.
Rice also swells when cooked and
–
should be cooked in liquid. The
proportion of food to liquid will vary
depending on the type of rice and
how it has been pre-treated. With
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.
– Dry pasta and noodles should be
well covered with liquid. Reduce the
cooking time recommended on the
packaging by about
1/
as the pasta
3
will start to swell during the heating
up time.
– Cooking liquids do not boil away.
They are either absorbed by the
food, as with rice and pasta, or they
remain in the dish as with casseroles.
The liquid can then be used for
making a sauce, e.g. by adding
crème fraîche.
27
Practical tips
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).
Grease perforated containers
–
beforehand if used for cooking fish,
and solid containers if used for
cooking dishes containing eggs.
When cooking meat without adding
–
any additional liquid to the
container, the meat juices can be
used to for making gravy and
sauces. Put the meat and other
ingredients, e.g. 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.
With the Steam with pressure
–
°120 °C programme, during the
cooling down phase air will be
circulated around the cooking
compartment. This air can dislodge
food from the cooking container and
soil the cooking compartment. This
mostly occurs when food is being
cooked in liquid (soup, casseroles
etc) and also when the food has a
pulpy consistency, e.g. apple sauce.
When cooking these types of food,
cover the cooking container with the
tray or lid (see "Optional
accessories"). Place the covered
cooking container between the two
runners of the shelf level; do not
place it on top of the upper runner.
– When cooking fish or food with a
distinctive colour (e.g. spinach) in a
perforated container, place the
container on the lowest shelf level to
avoid any transfer of tastes or colour
to other food.
–
When using Steam with pressure
°, cooking will only take approx.
half the time it would take with
conventional cooking.
28
–
Yeast dough can be put in the oven
to prove.
Select Steam without pressure P,
and reduce the recommended
temperature to 40 °C. Cover the
dough.

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. 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!
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, 2-3 minutes 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 defrosting.
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 frozen pre-cooked meals
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
– Defrost baked goods in a sealed
freezer bag.
–
Food which will not drip can be
placed in a perforated container
once the wrapping has been
removed.
31
Practical tips
Cooking whole meals
It is very economical and practical to
cook a whole meal at the same time in
the steam oven.
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 using Steam
with pressure °:
Lamb stew 8 minutes
Potatoes 8 minutes
Carrots 4 minutes
Proceed as follows:
^ First place the food with the longest
cooking duration (the lamb stew and
the potatoes) in the steam oven.
^ Select Steam with pressure °
120 °C.
At the end of the cooking duration you
can remove all three dishes at the same
time.
Blanching
You can use your steam oven to blanch
vegetables and fruit for freezing.
Put the prepared fruit or vegetables
^
into a perforated container and place
it in the oven.
Select Steam without pressure P
^
100 °C.
^ Set a time of 1-2 minutes.
^ Press the Start/Stop button.
^ 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.
^
Calculate the initial cooking duration
by subtracting the duration for the
carrots from the duration for lamb
stew / potatoes, i.e. 8 minutes less 4
minutes = 4 minutes.
^
Set a duration of 4 minutes and press
the Start/Stop button.
^
Once the 4 minutes and also the
cooling down phase has elapsed,
place the second dish (carrots) in the
oven.
^
Set the cooking duration for the
second dish, i. e. 4 minutes.
^
Press the Start/Stop button.

Practical tips
Bottling
When bottling, do not use
temperatures higher than 95 °C (or
90 °C if the appliance is installed at
altitudes higher than 1000 m above
sea level). Higher temperatures can
cause the jars to shatter. Danger of
injury.

Practical tips
Extracting juice with steam
You can use the Steam with pressure
° programme to extract juice from
fruit and vegetables. It is best to use
very ripe fruit, as the riper the fruit the
greater the quantity of juice produced.
Very ripe fruit will also produce a more
intense flavour.

40-50
Useful tips
Wash the fruit or vegetables to be
–
juiced and cut away any bruised or
damaged parts.
There is no need to remove pips from
–
fruit.
Remove the stalks from grapes and
–
morello cherries as these are bitter.
The stalks do not need to be
removed from strawberries,
raspberries etc.
Dice large fruit such as apples into
–
2 cm thick cubes. The firmer the fruit
or vegetables, the smaller it should
be diced.
– 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 soak in for a
few hours before juicing. For sweet
fruit add 100 - 150 g of sugar and
more tart fruit, 150 - 200 g of sugar.
–
Adding herbs will produce a more
intensely flavoured vegetable juice.
–
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 immedi
ately with sterilised rubber tops.

Practical tips
Disinfecting containers
The steam oven will disinfect baby
bottles and other containers so that at
the end of the programme they are as
germ free as they would have been had
they been boiled. Check beforehand
that all parts, teats etc. are declared by
the manufacturer to be heat resistant to
100 °C and also that they can withstand
hot steam.
Dismantle, clean and thoroughly
^
rinse baby bottles. Place the
individual parts in a perforated
cooking container, ensuring that they
do not touch one another. Cover the
cooking container with the tray or the
lid.
^ Select Steam without pressure
P100 °C.
^ Set and confirm a duration of
15 minutes.
All parts of the bottles must be
completely dry before they are
reassembled to keep them germ free.
Preparing yoghurt
To prepare yoghurt you will need
^
100 g yoghurt (with live culture) and
1 litre of milk. The yoghurt and milk
should have the same percentage fat
content.
You can either use unchilled long-life
milk or fresh milk. Fresh milk will,
however, give a better set. If using
fresh milk it should first be heated up to
90°C (do not boil it), and then left to
cool.
Mix the yoghurt and the milk together
^
and then pour the mixture into 6 or 7
portion sized glass jars or special
yoghurt jars. Seal the jars.
^ Place the jars in a perforated
container, ensuring that they do not
touch one another.
^ Select Steam without pressure P
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.

Cleaning and care
Water nozzle
During the cooling down phase, water
is sprayed into the cooking
compartment from a water nozzle which
is located behind the deflector plate at
the back of the runners on the right
hand side. With prolonged use, this
nozzle can become dirty and will
require descaling.
The nozzle must be descaled if the fault
message F13 appears in the display.
^ Wait until several beeps sound. Now
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.
Descale the nozzle using the Miele
^
system descaling agent or with a
suitable proprietary descaling agent
following the instructions on the
packaging.
After descaling rinse the nozzle under
fresh running water.
Before replacing the nozzle, all parts of

again in the normal way.
If the fault message F13 reappears after
the nozzle has been descaled, contact
the Service Department.
^
Leave the appliance to cool down
with the door open.
^
Remove the runners on the
right-hand side (see "Shelf runners").
^
Pull out the nozzle.
45
Cleaning and care
Descaling
To prevent the risk of damage
,
only use the Miele system descaling
agent (see "Accessories supplied").
Descaling must be carried out on a
cold appliance to prevent harmful
vapours forming.
The descaling agent is caustic.
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
reaction or if it has been inhaled or
ingested, seek medical help.
Replace the lid securely after use
and keep out of the reach of
children.
Do not spill descaling agent on
metal surfaces. This could cause
marks. However, should any
descaling agent get onto these
surfaces, wipe it away immediately.
The appliance will alert you after a
certain number of operating hours that
the steam generator needs to be
descaled. When the appliance is
switched on the k symbol, the Descale
programme symbol k and the number
10 will appear in the
programme/temperature display.
The number indicates that the
appliance can be used a further 10
times before it locks out. If the
appliance is not descaled immediately,
a 9 will appear in the display the next
time the appliance is switched on, and
so on.
The appliance will then lock and it must
be descaled before it can be used
again. We recommend that you descale
the appliance before it locks out.
The descaling process can only be
stopped by switching off the appliance.
If the appliance is switched back on,
after interrupting it, a rinse cycle will be
carried out automatically (see "Problem
solving guide").

Problem solving guide
... the appliance does not heat up.
Check whether the Demonstation mode
has been set (see "Programming").
... condensation collects on the
outside of the oven door.
This is not a fault. With a certain
temperature range, steam released by
the pressure regulator condenses
inside the double-walled door of the
appliance, and trickles out near the
door hinges.
... you hear a humming sound when
the appliance is switched on, during
operation or after the appliance has
been switched off.
This sound does not indicate a
malfunction or fault with the appliance.
It happens when the water is pumped
in and out.
... the appliance beeps after the start
of a programme, and the word "door"
appears in the time display.
The door has not been closed properly.
... the mains fuse has tripped.
Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse
box, and switch the appliance back on.
If it still cannot be operated, contact a
qualified electrician or the Miele Service

The descaling process was interrupted
by a power cut or by being
inadvertently switched off.
The appliance will automatically carry
out a rinsing programme after being
switched on again to flush out any
descaling fluid. This process cannot be
aborted. Wait until you hear several
beeps, and the g symbol is flashing in
the time display. Now you can either
re-start the descaling process, or select
