guarantee.

6

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

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.

If the oven is still hot, steam will

~

escape when the door is opened. Stan
d back away from the appliance and
wait until the steam has dissipated.

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.

If using plastic cooking containers,

~

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Take care not to tip the water

~

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

7

Warning and Safety instructions

When using an electrical appliance,

~

e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the
steam oven, ensure that the cable of
the electrical appliance cannot get
trapped by the steam oven door. The
insulation on the cable could become
damaged, giving rise to an electric
shock hazard.

Do not place heavy objects on the

~

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

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 not in use and is completely dry
inside.

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

8

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 should 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.

Disposing 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 it
with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling

Before using for the first time

17

Before using for the first time

Setting the correct boiling point for water

The boiling point for water at a high altitude above sea level
will be lower than the boiling point for water at sea level. To
adjust the boiling point for the altitude in your area, fill the
water container with mains tap water (see "Operation /
Preparing the appliance for use") and then run the appliance
at 100 °C for 15 minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation".

This procedure sets the correct boiling point for water for the
altitude in your area and also flushes out the waterways.
Warning! A lot of steam will be emitted from the appliance.

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 / Descaling").

If the grease gets into the eyes, it must be rinsed out with

–

plenty of clean water.

– If it is swallowed, seek medical advice.

The coupling seal should be replaced with a new one if it
becomes brittle or porous 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.

30

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.

Descaling

Cleaning and care

For optimum cleaning results we recommend that you use
Miele descaling tablets to descale your steam oven (see
"Optional accessories"). A proprietary citric acid based
descaling agent can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.

Ensure that the descaling agent does not come into
contact with the metal control panel or the door handle as
this could cause marks. However, should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, 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 to be done. After switching on, the descaling
symbol k and the number 10 will appear in the 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.

You can start the descaling programme manually before the
appliance locks out.

^

Touch s until an audible tone sounds and "0:22 h" appears
in the display and the k symbol starts flashing.

^

Fill the water container with 1 litre of descaling solution.
Follow the instructions on the descaling agent packaging
carefully.

^

Push the water container into the appliance until it
connects.

Confirm with "OK".

31

Cleaning and care

Descaling will now begin. The colon will flash and the k
symbol will now light up constantly in the display.

It is only possible to cancel the descaling process during the
first minute. After that the process cannot be cancelled.

Do not switch the appliance off during the descaling
process. If it is switched off before the end of the process,
the whole process will have to be started from the
beginning again.

An audible tone will sound and the p symbol will start
flashing ten minutes before the end of the descaling process.
The water container needs to be filled with fresh water.

^ Remove the water container and empty it. Remove the

insert.

^ Rinse the water container and the insert thoroughly.

^ Replace the insert and fill the water container with 1 litre of

fresh tap water. Push the water container into the appliance
until it connects.

After descaling:

32

The flashing p symbol will go out and the k symbol will start
flashing.

^

Touch "OK" to continue the programme.

The colon will start flashing and the k symbol will now light
up constantly.

An audible tone will sound when the descaling process has
been completed.

^

Switch off the appliance.

^

Open the door.

^

Remove the water container and empty it.

^

Dry the appliance thoroughly.

^

Make sure the appliance is completely dry before closing
the door.

Removing and refitting the door

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

To remove the door

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.

Cleaning and care

Problem solving guide

Installation work and repairs to electrical appliances

,

must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance with current local
and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).
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.

Check whether the mains fuse has tripped.

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

– disconnect the mains fuse.

Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse box, and switch the
appliance back on. If it still will not switch on, contact a
qualified electrician or the Miele Service Department.

34

... the appliance does not heat up.

Check whether you set the demo-mode setting by mistake
(see "Programming").

... 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.

Problem solving guide

... 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 "Cleaning and care/Coupling
seal".

... 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 "Programming"),
and descale the appliance as described in "Cleaning and
care / Descaling".

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

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

Altitude affects the boiling point of water. 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 / Descaling").

... 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.

–

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.

35

Problem solving guide

... 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 p symbol appears in the display and an audible
tone may sound.

Check whether

the water container has been pushed right into the

–

appliance so that it connects.

there is sufficient water in the water container. The water

–

level must be between the two markings.

... when the appliance is switched on, the k symbol and a
number between 1 and 10 or
"0:22h" appear in the display and the k symbol flashes.

The appliance needs to be descaled. Proceed as described
in "Cleaning and care - Descaling".

... F05 or F06 appears in the display.

36

Switch the appliance off and call the Service Department.

... F20 appears in the display.

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.

–

A fault message will appear if the temperature of the oven
compartment has not risen by at least 2°C within 5 minutes
of the start of the heating up phase. This can occur if, for
example, a large quantity of frozen food is being prepared.

–

Lightly lubricate the coupling seal on the water container
with silicone grease, as described in "Cleaning and care /
Water container / Coupling seal".

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