It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
In the event of damage or defect,
~
turn the appliance off immediately. After it has been turned off, isolate it from the main power supply and contact the Miele Technical Service Department. Ensure that power is not restored to the appliance during maintenance or repair work.
Hardwiring the appliance should be
~
performed by a certified electrician in compliance with all local and national codes, and requirements.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When handling cooking containers
~
take care not to let the contents spill, and that you do not come into contact with either hot steam or the hot oven walls. Danger of scalding and burns.
6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not store items on the appliance
~
when not in use. Items could melt or catch fire from residual heat or if the appliance is turned on inadvertently.
Do not heat unopened food
~
containers. Pressure can build up causing an explosion that will damage the cooking compartment. There is also a danger of personal injury and scalding.
Do not use the appliance without the
~
drain filter, coarse food particles can clog the drain and pump.
Containers must be heat resistant
~
up to 212°F (100°C). Otherwise they may melt at high temperatures in the oven.
Do not use silicone baking pans in
~
the combination Steam/ConvectionPlus, they are not steam-resistant.
Do not place pots, pans, baking
~
sheets or cooking containers directly on the oven floor.
Do not leave cooked foods in the
~
cooking compartment. Do not use items in the steam oven which may rust. This could lead to the corrosion of the appliance.
Make certain that the power cords of
~
small appliances do not come in contact with or get caught in the oven door.
Do not place heavy items on the
~
open door of the appliance. The door can support a maximum of 17 lbs (8 kg).
Do not operate the appliance
~
without the lamp cover in place, steam can come into contact with live parts and cause a short circuit. Electric components could be destroyed.
If the appliance is installed behind a
~
cabinet door, it must be operated with the cabinet door open. Close the cabinet door only when the unit is completely dry.
Never line the oven floor with
~
aluminum foil and do not use protective foil coverings available in retail stores to protect the oven from soiling. They affect the cooking and baking performance significantly and block the steam inlet.
Do not use the oven to heat the
~
room.
Be sure food is cooked or reheated
~
adequately. Any micro-organisms present in the food are killed only by using sufficiently high temperatures and cooking times. If in doubt select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Before using for the first time
15
Before using for the first time
Setting the correct boiling point for water
Run the Steam / Universal (212°F / 100°C) program for 15 minutes. Continue as described in the "Quick Guide" section.
This procedure sets the correct boiling point for water for the altitude in your area and also flushes the waterlines. This procedure causes more steam than usual to be emitted from the appliance.
If you move the appliance to a new location, it will need to be re-set for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than 984 ft. (300 m). To do this, run the descale program (see "Cleaning and care - Descale").
Heating the appliance
To remove the protective grease from the heating element, heat the combi-steam oven with nothing in it to 400°F (200°C) using the ConvectionPlus program for 30 minutes. Continue as described in "Operation".
There will be a slight smell the first time the heating element is heated. The smell and any vapors will dissipate after a short time, and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance. It is important to ensure that the room is well ventilated during this process.
16
Control panel
The water and condensate containers are located behind the lift-up control panel. The panel can be opened by touching "Lift Panel" and closed by touching "Lift Panel" then "OK". The panel is equipped with a finger pinch protection. If it encounters resistance when opening/closing, the process is interrupted. Do not touch the appliance door handle while the panel is opening or closing.
Water container
The max. water level is 47 fl. oz. (1.4 liters), the min. 34 fl. oz. (1 liter). The water level markers are located inside and outside the container. Do not exceed the max. level marker. The max. quantity of water is sufficient to run a cooking program at 212°F (100°C) for approx. 2 hours, and the min. quantity is sufficient to run a cooking program for approx. 30 minutes, providing the door is not opened. The water level in the water container is represented by a symbol in the display.
Condensate container
Description of the functions
Grease filter
The appliance pumps the condensate produced during the steam cooking program into the condensate container. The maximum water level is 47 fl. oz. (1.4 liters).
The grease filter must be fitted for every roasting program. It should be removed when using steam programs. It must be removed when baking, otherwise results can be uneven.
Refer to the "User instructions" booklet supplied with your appliance for more information and tips.
17
Description of the functions
Temperature
Some functions have default temperatures. The default temperature can be altered within a given range (see "Functions") for an individual cooking program or permanently (see "Settings").
Cooking duration (time)
Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of between1-6minutes and 10 - 12 hours. The duration of the MasterChef, Maintenance and Menu cooking functions are set at the factory and cannot be changed.
With functions and programs that use steam only, the cooking duration does not start to count down until the set temperature has been reached; in all other functions and programs, it begins immediately.
Moisture level
Combination steam and Reheat functions use a combination of convection heat and moisture. You can change the moisture/humidity level within a given range for an individual cooking program or a cooking stage.
Noises
18
You can hear a noise (humming) when the appliance is turned on, when it is operating, and after it has been turned off. This noise does not indicate a malfunction or a defect. It occurs when water is being pumped in and out. You can hear the fan noise the when the appliance is operating.
Preheating phase
Steam reduction
Description of the functions
While the appliance is heating up to the set temperature, the display will show the rising temperature inside the oven along with the words "Preheating phase" (Exceptions: MasterChef, Menu cooking, Reheating, Maintenance).
Steam
When cooking with steam, the duration of the preheating phase will depend on the quantity and temperature of the food. In general, the preheating phase will last for approx. 7 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.
With steam programs
If the cooking temperature is higher than 170°F (75°C), the steam reduction function is automatically turned on at the end of the cooking duration (only if this function is activated in the Settings menu). The function reduces the amount of steam escaping from the appliance when the door is opened. The display shows "Steam reduction" in addition to "Program finished".
Keep warm
The Steam reduction function is deactivated as the factory default setting (see "Settings - Steam reduction").
With steam programs
If the appliance is not turned off at the end of a cooking program, it will switch to the Keep warm function after a short time (only if this function is activated in the Settings menu). The food will be kept at a temperature of 160°F (70°C) for a maximum of 15 minutes.
The Keep warm function is deactivated as the factory default setting (see "Settings - Keep warm").
Please note that delicate food, especially fish, can continue cooking while being kept warm.
19
Description of the functions
Interior lighting
To save energy, the oven compartment lighting has been set at the factory to turn off after the program has started.
To turn the light on for a short time during operation, touch one of the inactive touch controls on the left or right hand side of the display. If you would like the oven compartment to be illuminated the whole time the oven is operating the factory default setting can be changed (see "Settings - Lighting").
If the door is left open at the end of a cooking program the oven lighting will turn off automatically after 5 minutes. You may find it helpful to turn the lighting on when you are cleaning the oven (see "Additional functions - Lighting").
The lighting radiates heat. When you are cooking at a temperature below 140°F (60°C), select the setting "on for 15 seconds".
