7

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.

A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for any visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.

Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. 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.

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) matches 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.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in.

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is not supplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to the mains supply by a suitably qualified electrician.

If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special connection cable of type H 05 VV F (pvc insulated), available from Miele, in order to avoid a hazard.

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.

If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door), ensure that the door is never closed whilst the steam oven is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and cause subsequent damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the steam oven has cooled down completely.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Danger of burning! The steam oven becomes hot when in use. Exercise care when handling food and trays so as not to burn yourself on the walls of the steam oven, shelf runners, trays, steam and hot food itself. Use oven gloves when placing food in the steam oven, removing it and when adjusting shelves etc. in a hot steam oven.

When putting cooking containers into the steam oven or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents.

Danger of burning! There will be some residual hot water in the steam generator at the end of a cooking process. This will be pumped back into the water container. Take care not to spill the contents when taking the water container out of the appliance.

Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed 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.

Plastic dishes which are not heat and steam resistant melt at high temperatures and can damage the appliance. Use temperature (to 100 °C) and steam resistant plastic dishes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Food which is left in the steam oven can dry out and the escaping moisture can lead to corrosion in the appliance. Do not leave cooked food in the oven compartment and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion as this could lead to corrosion in the appliance.

The door can support a maximum load of 8 kg. Do not sit on or lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven compartment. The steam oven could get damaged.

Do not leave the appliance door open unnecessarily as someone may trip over it or be injured by it.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the steam oven, ensure that the connection cable doesn't get caught in the door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this steam oven. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal

tools to clean the door glass.

The shelf runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see "Cleaning and care - Accessories").

Ensure they are correctly fitted after cleaning and never operate the steam oven without the shelf runners fitted.

Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

12

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

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

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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 valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. 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 for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible by law for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of the functions

Noises

You will hear a pumping sound when the appliance is switched on, during use and after switching it off. This is the sound of water being pumped through the system and is quite normal.

When the steam oven is in use, you will hear a fan noise.

Heating-up phase

During the heating-up phase the oven compartment is heated to the set temperature. The display will show the temperature of the oven compartment as it rises.

The duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the food. In general the heating-up phase will last for approx. 5 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.

Cooking phase

The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is reached. During the cooking phase, the duration remaining will be shown in the display.

Steam reduction

If a cooking temperature above approx. 80 °C has been set, the appliance door will automatically open a fraction just before the end of a cooking programme to release some of the steam from the cabinet. The door will then close again automatically.

Steam reduction can be switched off if you wish (see "Settings"). If switched off, there will be a lot of steam emitted from the cabinet when the door is opened.

19

Using for the first time

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service, data plate, warranty" section of this booklet. Alternatively, the additional label can be stuck near the appliance if the appliance markings are not visible after installation.

Remove any protective wrapping and stickers (but not the data plate).

The appliance has undergone a function test in the factory. Residual water from this testing may have trickled back into the cabinet during transportation.

Cleaning for the first time

Water container

Take the water container out of the appliance and rinse it by hand.

Accessories / Oven compartment

Remove all accessories from the oven compartment.

Wash the accessories in a mild solution of washing-up liquid and hot water or in the dishwasher.

The interior of the steam oven has been treated at the factory with a conditioning agent.

To remove this, clean the oven interior with a mild solution of washing-up liquid and warm water and then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

20

Using for the first time

Setting the water hardness

level

The water hardness level of the steam oven is set to Hard at the factory. For trouble-free operation of the steam oven, and to ensure that it is descaled at the appropriate time, it is important to set the water hardness level for your area. The harder the water, the more often the steam oven must be descaled.

Check the hardness of your local water supply and adjust the water hardness as necessary (see "Settings").

Setting the correct boiling

point for water

Before cooking with the steam oven for the first time, it must be set to the correct boiling point for water in your area. This is determined by the altitude at which you live. This procedure also flushes out the water pipework.

This procedure must be carried out to ensure efficient functioning of your appliance.

Run the Steam cooking programme at 100 °C for 15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation".

Setting the correct boiling point for water following a house move

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

General notes

This section contains general information. You will find more detailed information about particular foods and how to cook them in the other sections.

The advantages of cooking

with steam

Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is not immersed in water.

Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food also retains its fresh, original colour.

Suitable containers

Cooking containers

This steam oven is supplied with stainless steel cooking containers. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (see "Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose the most suitable container for the food you are preparing.

It is best to use perforated containers for steam cooking. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers. However, please note the following:

Containers must be heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to withstand hot steam. With plastic containers please check with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use in a steam oven.

Thick-sided containers made from porcelain, china or stoneware, for example, are not very suitable for steam cooking. They do not conduct heat well and as a result cooking durations will be considerably longer than those given in the charts.

Place the cooking containers on the rack and not on the oven floor.

Ensure that there is a gap between the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container.

Condensate tray

When using perforated containers, place the condensate tray on the lowest shelf level to collect any drops of liquid and allow them to be removed easily.

You can also use the condensate tray as a cooking container if necessary.

27

General notes

Shelf level

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 with more than one deep cooking container at the same time, offset them to allow steam to circulate properly. If possible, leave a shelf level between the containers.

Always insert cooking containers and the rack between the rails of the shelf runners so that they cannot tip.

Frozen

The heating-up phase for frozen food is longer than for fresh food. The greater the quantity of frozen food, the longer the heating-up phase.

Temperature

A maximum temperature of 100 °C is reached when steam cooking is taking place. Most types of food will cook at this temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as soft fruit, must be cooked at lower temperatures as otherwise they will burst. More information is given in the relevant section.

Combination with a food warming drawer

When a warming drawer which is installed below the steam oven is in use, the oven cavity in the steam oven can reach up to 40 °C. If, in this case, you set a temperature of 40 °C, no steam will be produced because the oven cavity is too warm.

Duration

In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More information about any factors which may affect the cooking duration is given in the relevant sections.

The quantity of food does not affect the cooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 500 g.

The durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to start with. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time, it can be put back in the oven compartment and cooked some more.

Cooking with liquid

When cooking with liquid, only fill the cooking container ²/ full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.

Your own recipes

Food and recipes which are prepared in a pot or a pan can also be cooked in the steam oven. The cooking times in the steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be brown or crisp when cooking with steam.
