Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check
it for visible signs of damage before using it.
Reliable and safe operation of this steam 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 correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match 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 steam oven to the mains electricity supply by

11
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Danger of burning. The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior, cooked food, oven accessories or hot steam. Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Take care when putting cooking containers into the oven or removing them not to spill the contents.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle 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.
Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven melt at
high temperatures and can damage the steam oven or catch fire. Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on use. If you want to use plastic containers for steaming food make sure that they are temperature resistant to 100°C and steam resistant. Any other plastic containers could melt, become brittle or break when subjected to heat.
Food which is left in the oven to be kept hot can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the appliance. Do not use the steam oven for keeping food warm and do not use utensils in the appliance which could corrode.
You could injure yourself on the open steam oven door or trip over
it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
The door can support a maximum weight 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 cavity. The steam oven could get damaged.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the steam oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not put the flames out with water. Switch the steam oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by keeping the oven door closed.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam
oven when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the steam oven to heat up the room.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire on hot heating elements.
Never cover the floor of the oven with aluminium foil, or place
oven dishes, pans, saucepans or trays directly onto the floor of the oven.
When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,
near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the 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 operate the steam oven without the lamp cover. Steam
could could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Steam could also damage the electrical components.
The steam oven 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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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.

Description of functions

Water container

The maximum water level is 1.2litres, the minimum 0.75litres. These levels are indicated both inside and outside the container. Do not exceed the maximum level.
The amount of water used will depend on the type of food and the duration of cooking. Water will sometimes need to be replenished during the cooking process. Water consumption is increased if the door is opened during cooking.

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.

Grease filter

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 also be removed when baking, as otherwise browning 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).

Temperature

Some functions have a default recommended temperature. This recommended temperature can be altered within the given range for the programme or programme stage in use, or for every time that programme is used (see "Settings - Recommended temperatures"). Temperatures can be changed in 5°C steps, or in 1°C steps for Sous-vide cooking.
24
Description of functions

Moisture

The Combi mode and Reheat functions use a combination of oven function and moisture. You can alter the moisture level within a given range for an individual cooking programme or a cooking stage.
Depending on the moisture setting for the programme, either moisture or fresh air is injected into the oven. If the moisture level is set to20%, the maximum amount of air will be injected and no moisture. If the moisture level is set to100%, air will not be injected into the oven and the maximum amount of moisture will be injected.
Some food gives off moisture during the cooking process. This moisture from the food also controls the amount of moisture needed. If the required amount of moisture is very low and the food already contains a lot of water the steam generator may not be activated at all.

Duration

Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of between 1 minute and 10 or 12 hours. The duration of the Automatic and Maintenance programmes is set at the factory and cannot be altered.
With Steam cooking and functions and programmes that use steam alone, the set cooking duration does not start to count down until the set temperature has been reached. It begins immediately with all other functions and programmes.

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.
25
Description of functions

Heating-up phase

Heating up the appliance

To remove the grease from the ring
heating element, heat the appliance up with nothing in it at 200°C using the Fan plus function for 30 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation: Functions without steam".
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 kitchen is well ventilated during this operation.
