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.

7

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.

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.

Do not store anything combustible in

~

the oven. This could be a fire hazard if
the appliance is switched on by
mistake.

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.

If using plastic cooking containers,

~

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

Never leave the appliance

~

unattended when cooking with oil or
fats, as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.

If oil or fat catches fire, do not

~

attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket or fire
extinguisher.

Never place a dish, tin, baking tray

~

or similar object on the oven floor. Do
not place the baking tray or condensate
tray directly on to the oven floor.

Never line the floor of the oven with

~

aluminium foil. Do not use protective
aluminium foil panels, available in retail
outlets which are intended to be used
to line the oven cavity to reduce the
need for cleaning. If used, cooking and
baking times would increase
considerably and they would block the
steam inlet.

Only use the food probe supplied

~

with the appliance. Any other could
damage the electronic controls.

To prevent the risk of damage do

~

not leave the food probe in the steam
combi oven when it is not being used.

Do not use silicone bakeware with

~

the steam/fan plus combination mode
as silicone is not steam-resistant.

8

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use the appliance to heat up

~

the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.

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 Ser
vice Department.

Take care not to tip the water

~

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

When using an electric socket near

~

the steam combi oven, care should be
taken that the cable of the appliance
cannot get trapped by the steam combi
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.

Do not operate the appliance

~

without the lamp cover. Steam could
could attack the electrical components
and cause a short circuit. Steam could
also damage the electrical
components.

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 and dried
beforehand to prevent the build-up of
odours etc. Make sure that the water
container is empty. Leave the door

­open.

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 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.

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.

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
recycled.

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
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Condensate tray

Grease filters

Water container

Description of the functions

Place the condensate tray on the lowest shelf runner when
using perforated containers or roasting on the rack. The tray
will collect any drops of liquid and allow them to be removed
easily.

The grease filter in the oven ceiling must be fitted for every
programme.

Fit the grease filter in the back wall for all roasting
programmes.
It should be removed when using steam programmes.
It must be removed when baking, as otherwise results can be
uneven (Exception: fit the grease filter in the back wall when
baking open deep fresh fruit flans, e.g. plum or damson or
pizza with lots of topping).

The maximum water level is 1.2 litres, the minimum 0.75 litres.
The water level markers are located inside and outside the
container. On no account exceed the upper or maximum
level marker.
The maximum quantity of 1.2 litres of water is sufficient to run
a cooking programme at 100 °C for approx. 2 hours, and the
minimum quantity of 0.75 litres of water is sufficient to run a
cooking programme at 100 °C 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.

Temperature / Core temperature

Some functions have recommended temperatures and where
appropriate a pre-set core temperature for the food probe.
You can alter the recommended temperature within a given
range (see "Functions") for an individual cooking process or
permanently (see "Settings"). You can alter the core
temperature for the food probe within a given range for an
individual cooking process or a cooking stage.

17

Description of the functions

Cooking duration (time)

Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of
between 1 minute and 10 or 12 hours.
The duration of the Maintenance and Menu cooking functions
is set at the factory and cannot be changed.

With functions and programmes that use steam only, the
cooking duration counts down once the set temperature is
reached. With all other functions and programmes, it starts to
count down straight away.

Moisture level

The Combination mode and Reheat functions use a
combination of fan heat and moisture. You can alter the
moisture/humidity level within a given range for an individual
cooking programme or a cooking stage.

Noises

You can hear the noise of the fan when the appliance is
operating.
Noises similar to those of a kettle can be heard when steam is
being generated.

Heating-up phase

While the appliance is heating up to the set temperature, the
display will show the rising temperature inside the cooking
compartment together with the words "Heating-up phase".
Exceptions: Automatic, Menu cooking, Maintenance.

Steam Cooking

When cooking with steam, 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.
7 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are preparing
refrigerated or frozen food. Filling the water container with hot
water will shorten the heating-up time.

18

Oven interior lighting

For energy saving reasons, the oven compartment lighting
has been set at the factory to go out after the programme has
begun.

To switch the lighting on for a short time during operation,
touch one of the inactive sensors on the left or right hand side
of the display.
If you want the oven compartment to be illuminated the whole
time the oven is operating, you will need to change the
factory setting (see "Settings / Lighting").

If the door is left open at the end of a cooking programme the
oven lighting will switch off automatically after 5 minutes. You
may find it helpful to switch on the lighting when you are
cleaning the oven (see "Additional functions / Lighting").

The lighting radiates heat. Switch it off when you are cooking
with a temperature of below 60 °C.

Steam reduction

The steam combi oven is delivered with this function
activated. It reduces the amount of steam which escapes
from the appliance when the door is opened at the end of the
cooking duration. You can deactivate the steam reduction
function (see "Settings / Steam reduction").

Description of the functions

Keeping warm

(with steam programmes)

The steam combi oven is set at the factory so that if it is not
switched off at the end of a cooking programme, it will
maintain a temperature of 70 °C for a maximum of 15 minutes
to keep food warm. You can deactivate the keeping warm
function (see "Settings / Keeping warm").

Please note that delicate food, especially fish, can continue
cooking whilst being kept warm.

Please refer to the "User instructions" booklet supplied with
your appliance for more information and tips on how to use
your steam combi oven.

water and then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

22

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 "Brief operating
instructions / Filling the water container") and then run the
Steam cooking / Universal (100 °C) programme for
15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Brief operating
instructions".

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 / Maintenance / Descale").

Heating up the appliance

To remove the grease from the ring heating element, heat the
steam combi oven up with nothing in it at 200 °C using the
Fan plus programme for 30 minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation".

There will be a slight smell the first time the heating element is
heated up.
The smell and any vapours 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
operation.

General notes

Cleaning and care

Miele offer a range of branded cleaning and conditioning
products. See “Optional accessories”.

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 cleaning appliance to clean this
appliance. The steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.

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

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

47

Cleaning and care

Appliance front

Remove any soiling immediately.
If not, it might become impossible to remove and could
cause the surface to alter or discolour.

Clean the front using a damp Miele microfibre E-cloth or with
a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up
liquid. After cleaning dry with a soft cloth.

The outer surfaces of this appliance are all susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass surfaces could even cause
a breakage.

Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or
discolour the outer surfaces.

To avoid damaging the outer surfaces of your appliance,
do not use:

– cleaning agents containing soda, alkalines, ammonia,

acids or chlorides,

48

– cleaning agents containing descaling agents,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream

cleaners,

–

solvent-based cleaning agents,

–

stainless steel cleaning agents,

–

dishwasher cleaner,

–

oven sprays,

–

glass cleaning agents,

–

hard, abrasive sponges and brushes, e.g. pot scourers,

–

sharp metal scrapers.

Oven interior

Cleaning and care

The oven interior is made from stainless steel which has been
treated with a special PerfectClean finish which gives the
surface an iridescent appearance. PerfectClean surfaces
have very good anti-stick properties and are easy to clean.

However, it is very important to clean the surfaces each time
the steam combi oven is used. The surface will become
harder to clean and the anti-stick properties will deteriorate if
soiling is not removed after each use and allowed to build up.

Soiling such as spilt juices and cake mixtures are best
removed whilst the oven or tray is still warm. Exercise caution,
make sure the oven is not hot - danger of burning.

Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting discolouration of the
surfaces. This discolouration is permanent but will not affect
the efficiency of the surface.

Remove the soiling with clean water or use the "Maintenance /
Soak" function (see appropriate section). The water must run
off the surface easily. Any residual cleaning agents will hinder
this effect.

The following cause lasting damage to the surface structure,
reduce the anti-stick effect and must not be used on
PerfectClean surfaces:

- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

- cleaning agents for ceramic hobs,

- ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaners

- wire wool or metal scourers,

- abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which
have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,

- oven spray must not be used in a hot oven or left on for too
long.

49

Cleaning and care

After a programme using steam

Use a sponge or absorbent cloth to wipe off the condensate
which has built up in the compartment.

Remove light, greasy soiling with a sponge and a solution of
washing-up liquid and hot water.

Rinse thoroughly with clean water and then dry the oven
interior with a soft cloth. You can then leave the oven to dry
automatically (see "Maintenance / Drying").

After a roasting or baking programme

Remove light soiling with a non-stick washing-up sponge
and a solution of washing-up liquid and hot water. If
necessary, the scouring pad on the reverse of the sponge
can be used.

Rinse thoroughly with clean water and then dry the oven
interior with a soft cloth. You can then leave the oven to dry
automatically (see "Maintenance / Drying").

An oven cleaner can be used to remove stubborn soiling,
e.g. from roasting.

50

Allow the oven compartment to cool down to room
temperature. Apply a spray oven cleaner to the soiled areas
of the oven compartment and leave to take effect for
approximately 10 minutes. If necessary after allowing the
spray to take effect, use the scouring pad on the reverse of a
non-stick washing up sponge to remove the soiling. Repeat
the process if necessary.

Rinse thoroughly with clean water and then dry the oven
interior with a soft cloth. You can then leave the oven to dry
automatically (see "Maintenance / Drying").

Soaking the soilng for a few minutes with a solution of
washing-up liquid and hot water can make cleaning easier.

Floor heater

Door seal

Cleaning and care

After prolonged use, the floor heater can become discoloured
by drops of liquid. This discolouration can be removed with a
non-abrasive stainless steel spiral pad.

Grease desposits on the seal between the inside of the oven
door and the oven interior can cause it to become brittle and
cracked. Clean the door seal after every baking or roasting
programme using a clean, damp Miele E-cloth or a clean
sponge and a solution of washing-up liquid and hot water.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Replace the seal with a new one if it becomes porous or
brittle. Door seals can be ordered from the Miele Spare Parts
Department.

When fitting the new seal make sure that any join is at the
top.

51

Cleaning and care

Accessories

Condensate tray, rack, cooking containers and baking tray

Wash and dry the condensate tray, rack, cooking containers
and baking tray after each use. They are all dishwasher safe.

Use a little vinegar to remove any bluish discolouration on the
cooking containers.
You could also use the Miele ceramic and stainless steel hob
cleaner (see "Optional accessories"). Rinse the containers
thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual cleaning
agent.

Food probe

Clean the food probe after each use. It should be wiped
clean with a damp cloth only.

Do immerse the food probe in water or clean it in the
dishwasher.

Shelf runners

The shelf runners have been treated with PerfectClean
enamel. They should be cleaned according to the cleaning
instructions for PerfectClean described in "Cleaning and
care / oven interior". Do not clean them in a dishwasher.

52

They are easy to remove which makes it easier to clean the
sides of the oven.

^

Pull out the fixing knob as far as possible. Remove each
runner by first pulling it to the side a and then out from the
back b.

^

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.

Grease filters

Cleaning and care

Clean the grease filters after every roasting programme with a
solution of washing-up liquid and hot water or in the
dishwasher.

Pull the grease filter on the back panel upwards to remove

^

it.

If the grease filter for the back panel is cleaned in the
dishwasher, results are better if the filter is placed horizontally
in the basket. Some dishwasher detergents may cause the
surface of the filter to discolour. This discolouration will not
affect the functioning of the filter in any way.

^ Hold the oven ceiling filter at a slight angle to insert it.

53

Cleaning and care

Water container

Remove, empty and dry the water container after each use.

Release the insert by pushing the catches on the sides in

^

towards each other and the pull it out of the container.

After cleaning, dry both parts of the insert thoroughly

^

before replacing it in the water container. When replacing
the insert, guide it in at an angle a and then push it
downwards b as illustrated.

54

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.

Coupling seal

Cleaning and care

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 "Guide to the
appliance / Accessories supplied") into the inside of the
coupling seal. Do not take the seal out to lubricate it!

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

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.

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.

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.

55

Cleaning and care

Maintenance

Soak

Allow the oven interior to cool down.

^

Remove all accessories and fill the water container with

^

fresh tap water.

Select "Maintenance".

^

Select "Soak".

^

The soaking process takes approx. 10 minutes.

Drying

Dry the oven interior with a soft cloth.

^

^ Select "Maintenance".

^ Select "Drying".

The drying process takes approx. 20 minutes.

Descale

56

For optimum cleaning results we recommend that you use
Miele descaling tablets to descale your steam combi 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 door handle or the metal control panel as
this could cause marks. However, should any descaling
agent get onto these surfaces, wipe it away immediately.

The appliance will need descaling after a certain number of
operating hours. After switching on, a message will appear in
the display to tell you that you are able to run 10 programmes
before the appliance locks out and you must descale it. Only
programmes which use steam are counted. The appliance
will lock out after you have run the tenth programme which
uses steam.
However, we recommend that you descale the appliance
before it locks out.

What to do if ...

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.

... 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, 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.

... the demo programme has been set.

The appliance will not heat up if demo mode has been set.
See "Settings / Showroom programme".

... 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.

63

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 "Settings / Water
hardness"), and descale the appliance as described in
"Cleaning and care / Maintenance / Descale".

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 /
Maintenance / Descale").

64

... 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.

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 lighting in the oven is defective.

Call Service to replace the lamp.

... "Start time" and "Finish" do not show in the display.

These functions are not available when using Menu

–

cooking or Maintenance.

The oven interior is too hot, e.g at the end of a cooking

–

programme.
Let the oven interior cool down with the door open.

... cakes and biscuits are not cooked properly after
following the times given in the recipe.

Check whether

– the correct temperature given in the recipe has been set.

– the grease filter is inserted in the back panel. Baking takes

longer if the back wall grease filter is in place.

–

there were any alterations to the recipe. For example, a
moister mix or more eggs can lengthen baking time.

... cakes or biscuits are unevenly browned.

A small difference in browning is not unusual.

If browning is very uneven, check whether

–

the temperature was set too high or the back wall grease
filter was still in place.

–

the correct shelf level was used.

–

more than two levels were used for baking.

65

Problem solving guide

... F and a number appear in the display.

This combination indicates a fault.

F 20: The appliance does not heat up.

–

Check whether the water container has been pushed right
into the appliance so that it connects.
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".

– F 54: Fault - food probe short circuit.

Check whether the food probe has been inserted
incorrectly.
Switch the appliance off, remove the food probe and start
again.

66

– F 55: Fault - over-riding time

The maximum length of time for which the steam combi
oven can be operated on the Fan plus function has been
exceeded and so the appliance has switched itself off
automatically for safety reasons.

The steam combi oven can be used again immediately by
simply switching it off and back on again.
