7
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct application
This steam oven is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
This steam oven is not intended for outdoor use.
This steam oven is intended for domestic use only as described in
these operating instructions.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
Danger of burning. Do not use the steam oven to store or dry
items which could ignite easily.
If such items were dried in Microwave mode, the moisture in the item
would evaporate causing it to dry out and even self-ignite.
The steam oven can only be used by people with reduced phys-
ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
This steam oven is supplied with a special lamp to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be
used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room
lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised
person or by Miele Service.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam oven inadvertently.
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appli-
ance unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the steam oven unsuper-
vised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean the steam oven unsuper-
vised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do
not let them play with it.
Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
Danger of burning. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high
temperatures than that of adults. Make sure that children do not attempt to open the door when the appliance is in operation. Keep
children well away from the appliance until it has cooled down and
there is no danger of burning.
Danger of injury. The door can support a maximum weight of 8kg.
Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it. They
could injure themselves.
9
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.
Radiation by microwaves:
Service or repairs which necessitate the removal of any casing must
only be carried out by a suitably trained service technician.
Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check
it for visible signs of damage before using it.
Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage. If any dam-
age is noticed, the oven should not be used again in Microwave
mode until the fault has been rectified by a service technician.
Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:
– the door is warped,
– the front of the oven compartment is dented or bowed,
– the door hinges are loose,
– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven in-
terior walls.
– there is moisture between the door panes.
Reliable and safe operation of this steam oven can only be as-
sured 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.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
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
a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard).
For safety reasons, this steam oven may only be used when it has
been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.
This steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical
connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the appliance must be connected to the
electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suit-
ably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H
05 VV-F (pvc insulated). See "Electrical connection".
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
12
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.
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 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 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 for
steam cooking. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
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 8kg. 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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Microwave function
Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively
long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could
even cause it to catch fire.
The Microwave function can be used for heating food and
drinks. Do not use the Microwave function for drying flowers,
herbs, bread, rolls or other flammable materials which could catch
fire and cause injury by burning.
Always cover food when using Microwave mode .
It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly through-
out the food being cooked and that it is hot enough.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to
the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
When heating food and drinks, remember that the heat is created
in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The
dish is only warmed by the heat of the food.
Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and
then always check the temperature of the food after taking it out of
the steam oven. The temperature of the container is not an indication
of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly im-
portant when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly
or infirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating,
and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
Microwave mode is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting
items. Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning
when the item is removed from the appliance.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles. With baby bottles, the screw cap and teat must be removed.
Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.
When heating up liquids, always place a suitable glass rod or
utensil into the cup or glass. When boiling and in particular when
heating up liquids using microwave power, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The
liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-called 'boiling delay'
can cause a sudden build up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling
over suddenly and explosively. The formation of bubbles can be so
strong that the pressure forces the oven door open.
Stir liquid before it heats up or boils. Once it has heated up wait for a
minimum of 20seconds before removing the container from the microwave oven.
Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power
only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven.
They can only be cooked in their shells using the steam cooking
function or in an appropriate automatic programme. Hard-boiled
eggs must not be reheated with microwave power either as they too
will explode.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket
potatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or cut in several places
to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.
15
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the microwave function to heat up cushions or
pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or gel, such as
those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated
even after they have been removed from the oven.
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.
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If
the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used.
However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in Microwave mode.
Fire hazard. Using microwave power with plastic dishes which are
not microwave safe can cause them to melt and damage the appliance. Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing
metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive
plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper
covered wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots
with the foil lid only partially removed (see "Suitable containers for
microwave use).
Do not leave the steam oven unattended when heating or cooking
food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials using the Microwave function.
Before using single-use containers make sure they are suitable for
microwave use. See "Suitable containers for microwave use Plastics".
Do not heat food in the steam oven in heat-retaining bags which
are intended for use in normal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium
foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
16
Warning and Safety instructions
The steam oven can suffer damage when using Microwave func-
tion if it is empty or incorrectly loaded. For this reason please do
not use the Microwave function to pre-heat crockery or to dry
herbs and do not start the Microwave function when the steam
oven is empty.
17
Warning and Safety instructions
Cleaning and care
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach 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 side runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care").
Ensure that they are replaced correctly and do not use the oven
without them fitted.
The side runners fit into plastic bushes. Check the bushes care-
fully for damage. If the bushes are damaged, do not use any Microwave functions until the bushes have been replaced.
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 to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet.
Accessories
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liability.
18
Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
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, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also responsible (by law, depending on country) for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed
of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of functions
Steam cooking mode
Water container
The maximum water level is 1.5 litres,
the minimum 0.5 litres. These levels are
indicated on 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 programme. Water consumption is increased if the door is opened during
cooking.
At the end of the cooking programme
hot residual water in the steam generator is pumped back into the water container. The water container must be
emptied after each use.
The water container is removed using a
push/pull system: push gently on the
water container to remove it.
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.
Duration
You can set a duration between
1minute (0:01) and 10hours (10:00). If
the duration exceeds 59minutes you
have to enter it in hours and minutes.
Example: duration 80minutes = 1:20.
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 display
will show the temperature in the cooking compartment as it rises and Heating
phase in all programmes except for
Automatic programmes and Maintenance.
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. 5 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are cooking
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.
28
Description of functions
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. Steam reduction will appear in
the display. The door will then close
again automatically.
Steam reduction can be switched off if
you wish (see "Settings - Steam reduction"). If switched off there will be a lot
of steam emitted from the cabinet when
the door is opened.
Microwave power
How it works
In the steam oven with microwave there
is a high-frequency tube called a magnetron. This converts electrical energy
into microwaves. These microwaves are
distributed evenly throughout the oven
interior, and rebound off the metal sides
of the oven interior to reach the food
from all sides.
microwave energy, start to oscillate
2.5thousand million times a second.
The friction caused by this vibration
creates heat, which first starts developing around the outside of the food and
then slowly penetrates towards the
centre. The moisture, fat and sugar
content of food will affect the speed at
which it is cooked. The heat is generated in the food itself.
Advantages
Food can generally be cooked without
adding much liquid or cooking oil.
Microwaves stop being produced as
soon as the cooking process is interrupted or the appliance door is
opened. When the appliance is in operation, the closed, sealed door prevents microwaves escaping from the
appliance.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate the
cooking utensil being used. Microwaves
can penetrate porcelain, glass, cardboard and plastics, but not metal. Do
not, therefore, use utensils made of
metal, or which contain metal, for example in the form of gold or silver trim.
The metal reflects the microwaves and
this could cause sparking. The microwaves cannot be absorbed.
Microwaves pass through a suitable
container and find their way directly into
the food. All food contains moisture
molecules which, when subjected to

Description of functions
Suitable containers for microwave use
Microwaves are reflected by metal,
pass through glass, porcelain, plastic
and card,
Fire hazard.
Non-microwave safe dishes can suffer damage or damage the steam
oven.
The material and shape of the containers used affect cooking results and
times.
Heat distribution is more even in round
and oval shaped flat containers than in
rectangular containers, providing better
results.
Suitable containers for microwave use
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic dishes
are ideal for use with microwave power.
Exception: Do not use crystal glass
as it contains lead which can crack
or shatter with microwave power.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
and are absorbed by food.
30
Exception: Do not use porcelain with
gold rims or cobalt blue or items with
hollow knobs or handles, as insufficient ventilation may cause a buildup of pressure.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Description of functions
Danger of burning.
Earthenware can get very hot and
may crack.
Wear protective gloves when removing dishes from the steam oven.
Plastics
Plastic containers and plastic disposable containers may only be used with
the Microwave function if they have
been declared as suitable for microwave use by the manufacturer. To
protect the environment it is best to
avoid using single-use containers.
Do not leave the steam oven unattended when reheating or cooking
food in disposable containers made
of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials.
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 110°C. Otherwise the
plastic may melt and fuse with the
food.
When cooking food with fat, or food
containing fat, do not use plastic
containers. Use only glass or porcelain.
– Plastic microwave containers
– Plastic "Boil-in-the-bag" bags
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should be
pierced beforehand so that steam can
escape.
This prevents a build-up of pressure
and reduces the risk of the bag bursting.
There are also special steaming bags
available which do not need to be
pierced. Please follow instructions given
on the packet.
– Roasting bags and tubes
Please follow the manufacturer's instructions when using roasting bags
and tubes.
Fire hazard.
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
containing metal parts, or paper ties
containing wire. There is a danger
that they will ignite when heated.
– Melamine containers
Melamine is not suitable for use in this
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and gets hot. When purchasing
plasticware, make sure that it is suitable
for use in a microwave oven.
These are readily available from retail
outlets.
– Styrofoam containers
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used for very short, timed warming and
reheating of food.
31
Description of functions
Unsuitable containers for microwave use
Dishes with hollow knobs or
handles are not suitable for use with
microwave power. Moisture which
has gathered in the hollow recesses
can cause pressure to build up and
the item can explode. If the hollow
recess is sufficiently ventilated, the
item could be used.
However, we recommend that you
do not use such dishes in Microwave
mode.
Metal
Metal reflects microwaves and obstructs the cooking process.
Do not use metal containers, aluminium, foil, metal cutlery and china
with metallic decoration such as gold
rims or cobalt blue with the Microwave
function .
Transfer ready meals in aluminium foil
dishes into a microwave safe container
for a more even heat distribution.
Do not use containers where the foil
lid has not been completely removed
as small pieces of foil can cause
sparking.
Do not use the cooking contain-
ers and the rack supplied with microwave functions.
Glazes and colours
Some glazes and colours contain metal
and are therefore unsuitable for microwave functions.
Wood
Wooden dishes are not suitable. Moisture contained in the wood evaporates
when exposed to microwave energy,
causing the wood to dry and crack.
Placing the dish in the oven
Place the condensate tray on the low-
est shelf level.
The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the
condensate tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor
of the oven would give unsatisfactory
and uneven results as the microwaves
would not be able to reach the food
from below.
32
Description of functions
Cover
A cover:
– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which
need longer to cook.
– speeds up the cooking process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven interior clean.
When using the Microwave func-
tion always cover the food with a
lid or cover made of microwave safe
glass or plastic.
The cover should not form a seal
with the container. If the cover is
used with a container which only has
a narrow diameter, there might not
be enough room for condensation to
escape through the holes in the side
of the cover. The cover could get too
hot and could start to melt.
Do not cook or reheat food or li-
quids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles. With baby bottles, the screw
cap and teat must be removed. Otherwise pressure builds up which can
cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.
Covers are available from retail outlets.
Alternatively, use a clingfilm recommended for use in a microwave oven
(pierce as instructed by the manufacturer). Heat can cause normal clingfilm
to distort and fuse with the food.
33
Description of functions
Condensate tray
Using with steam:
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.
The condensate cannot evaporate
properly if the condensate tray is on
the floor of the steam oven.
Place the condensate tray on the
lowest shelf level.
Microwave functions:
Always use the glass condensate tray
on the lowest shelf level to place cooking containers on.
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.
If you want it to stay on all the time the
oven is on you will need to alter the default 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
5minutes.
The lighting can be switched on for
15seconds by pressing the button
on the control panel.

Before using for the first time
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.
Remove the spill guard.
Wash the water container by hand.
Accessories / Oven interior
Take all accessories out of the oven.
Wash the accessories in a mild solu-
tion 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 in-
terior with a mild solution of washingup liquid and hot water.
Set the water hardness level
The steam oven is set ex-works for Hard
water. It must be adjusted to local water
hardness to ensure trouble-free operation and to ensure that descaling is carried out at the correct interval. The
harder the water, the more often it will
need to be descaled.
Check the hardness of your local wa-
ter supply and adjust the water hardness as necessary (see "Settings Water hardness").
36
Before using for the first time
Set the correct boiling point for water
Before cooking food for the first time,
you must set the boiling point for water,
as this varies depending on the altitude
the appliance is located at. This procedure also flushes out the waterways.
This procedure must be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
Only use cold mains tap water
(less than 20°C). Never use distilled
or mineral water or other liquids.
Remove the water container and fill it
up to the maximum marker.
Push the water container into the ap-
pliance until it connects.
Run the Steam cooking pro-
gramme at 100°C for 15minutes.
Proceed as described in "Operation:
Steam cooking".
Set the correct boiling point for water following a house move
If you move house, the appliance will
need to be re-set for the new altitude if
this differs from the old one by 300m or
more. To do this, descale the appliance
(see "Cleaning and care / Maintenance /
Descaling").

Notes on use
– The degree of doneness and brown-
ing levels are shown in a bar with
seven segments. The factory default
is always the middle setting. It will be
highlighted. To change the setting
simply move the highlighting to the
left or the right.
– The weight entry in the Automatic
programmes refers to the weight per
piece. For example, you can cook
just one piece of salmon weighing
250g or 10 pieces of salmon, each
weighing 250g at the same time.
– The oven interior needs to be at room
temperature before starting an Automatic programme.
– When placing food in an already hot
steam oven, be very careful when
opening the door. Hot steam can escape. Step back from the steam oven
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.

General notes on steam cooking
This section contains general information on steam cooking. 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 cooking.
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 so 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.
The condensate cannot evaporate
properly if the condensate tray is on
the floor of the steam oven.
Place the condensate tray on the
lowest shelf level.
62
General notes on steam cooking
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level for the
cooking containers and the rack. You
can also cook on several levels at the
same time. This will not alter the cooking duration.
When using more than one deep container at the same time for steam cooking it is best to offset them on their runners and to leave at least one level free
in between them.
Always insert cooking containers, the
rack and the condensate tray between
the rails of the side runners so that they
cannot tip.
Frozen food
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.
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 and cooked for
longer.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the
cooking container ²/₃full to prevent the
liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes
Food which is cooked 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.
Combination with a food warming
drawer
When the warming drawer is in use the
oven cavity in the steam oven can get
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.
63
Steam cooking
Vegetables
Fresh
Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual
way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.
Frozen
Frozen vegetables do not need to be
defrosted beforehand, unless they have
been frozen together in a block.
Frozen and fresh vegetables which take
the same length of time to cook can be
cooked together.
Break up vegetables that have frozen
together in a lump and follow instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration.
Cooking containers
Food such as peas or asparagus
spears, which have little or no space
between them, will take longer to cook
because the steam has less space to
work in. For an even result, it is best to
use a shallow container for these types
of food, and only fill it about 3-5cm
deep. When cooking large quantities divide the food between 2 or 3 shallow
containers rather than using one deep
one.
Shelf level
To avoid any colour transfer when cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour
(e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container,
do not place other food underneath the
perforated container.
Duration
As with conventional methods, the
cooking duration when cooking vegetables with steam will depend on the
size and how well done you want them.
Example:
firm potatoes, cut into quarters
= approx. 17minutes
firm potatoes, cut in half
= approx. 21minutes

Steam cooking
Meat
Fresh
Prepare the meat in the usual way.
Frozen food
Meat should be thoroughly defrosted
before cooking in the steam oven (see
"Defrosting with steam").
Preparation
For meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. for a stew, sear
the meat in a pan on the hob first.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the
thickness and the texture of the meat,
and not on the weight. The thicker the
piece of meat, the longer the cooking
duration. A piece of meat weighing
500g which is 10 cm thick will take
longer to cook than a piece of meat
weighing 500g which is 5 cm thick.
Tips
– Use a perforated container to retain
the juices when cooking meat. Place
a solid container underneath to catch
the juices. You can use these to make
a gravy or freeze them for later use.
– Boiling fowl, back or top rib and meat
bones can be used to make stock.
Place the meat together with some
mixed vegetables in a solid cooking
container and add cold water and
cook. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.

Fish
Fresh
Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.
clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen food
Fish does not need to be fully defrosted
before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs
and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2 - 5 minutes should be
enough.
Preparation
Add some lemon or lime juice to fish
before cooking. The citric acid helps the
flesh stay firm.
It is not necessary to season fish with
salt when cooking with steam as this
method retains the minerals which give
the fish its unique flavour.
Cooking containers
If using a perforated container, grease it
first.
Shelf level
When cooking fish in a perforated container at the same time as cooking
other types of food in other containers,
place the container with the fish directly
above the condensate tray/universal
tray (depending on model) to catch any
liquid and so avoid any transfer of
tastes to other food.
69
Steam cooking
Temperature
85 °C – 90 °C
For gently cooking delicate types of
fish, such as sole.
100 °C
For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.
cod and salmon.
Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the
thickness and the texture of the fish,
and not on the weight. The thicker the
fish, the longer the cooking duration. A
3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g
will take longer to cook than a 2 cm
thick piece of fish weighing 500 g.
The longer fish cooks, the firmer its
flesh will become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart. If you find that
the fish is not cooked sufficiently only
cook it for a few minutes more.
When cooking fish in sauce or stock,
we recommend that you increase the
cooking duration quoted by a few
minutes.
– You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish
heads, bones, tails etc to make a fish
stock. Place the fish scraps together
with some mixed vegetables in a
solid cooking container and add cold
water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to 90
minutes. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.
– Blue fish is fish which is cooked in
water and vinegar. It is important not
to damage the skin of the fish. This
method is suitable for cooking carp,
trout, tench, eel and salmon. (Follow
recipe instructions for the ratio of water to vinegar).

Tips
– Adding herbs and spices, such as

– Cook large fish in the swimming posi-
tion. To help maintain the shape of
the fish, place a small cup or similar
upside down in the cooking container, and arrange the fish bellyside
down over the cup.

Dried pulses
Soak pulses for at least 10 hours in cold water before cooking. Soaking makes the
pulses more digestible and shortens the cooking duration required. Soaked pulses
must be covered with liquid during cooking.
Lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking.
With unsoaked pulses a certain ratio of pulses to liquid is required depending on

Hen's eggs
Use a perforated container to boil eggs in the steam oven.
The eggs do not need to be pierced before cooking as they are gradually warmed
during the heating up phase and so do not burst when they are cooked with
steam.
When using a solid container for making egg dishes such as scrambled eggs, remember to grease it first.

Menu cooking (cooking whole meals)
Before cooking meals with the Menu
cooking function switch off the steam
reduction system (see "Settings Steam reduction").
You can use the steam oven to cook a
whole meal containing types of food
which have different cooking durations,
e.g. fish fillet with rice and broccoli.
Each dish is placed in the oven at different times so that they are all ready at
the same time.
Shelf level
When cooking fish or food with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container, place the perforated
container directly above the condensate
tray / universal tray (depending on
model) to avoid any transfer of flavour
or colour to other food and to prevent liquid dripping onto food below it.
Temperature
Whole meals should be cooked at a
temperature of 100 °C as this is the
temperature required to cook the majority of foods.
Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest
temperature when different temperatures are required for different types of
food, e.g. 85°C for seabream and
100°C for potatoes.
Duration
If you are increasing the recommended
temperature, shorten the cooking duration by approx. ¹/₃.
Example
Rice 20minutes
Rose fish fillet 6minutes
Broccoli 4 minutes
20minutes minus 6minutes =
14minutes (1st duration: rice)
6minutes minus 4minutes=2minutes
(2nd duration: rose fish fillet)
Remaining time=4minutes (3rdduration: broccoli)
Durations 20 min. - rice
6 min. - fish fillet
4 min. -
broccoli
Setting 14min.2min. 4 min.
If the recommended cooking temperature for the food is 85 °C for example, try
cooking it at 100 °C and testing the result. Some delicate types of fish with a
soft structure, e.g. sole and plaice will
become very firm when cooked at
100°C.
82
Procedure
Place the rice in the oven first.
Set the first cooking duration: 14
minutes.
After 14 minutes, place the fish in the
steam oven.
Set the second cooking duration: 2
minutes.
After 2 minutes, place the broccoli in
the steam oven.
Set the third cooking duration: 4
minutes.
Steam cooking
83
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
With this gentle cooking method, food
is cooked slowly and at a low, constant
temperature in vacuum packaging.
With vacuum cooking, no moisture
evaporates during cooking and all nutrients and flavours are retained.
The cooking result has an intensive
taste and food is cooked evenly.
Use only fresh food which is in a
good condition.
Ensure hygienic conditions and that
food has not been out of the refrigerator too long, e.g. during transportation.
Use only heat-stable, boiling-resistant vacuum sealing bags.
Do not cook food in the sales packaging, such as vacuum-packed
frozen food as it is possible that the
packaging used is not suitable for
vacuum cooking.
Do not use the vacuum sealing bag
more than once.
Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber
system vacuum sealer only.
84
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
Important
For an optimum cooking result:
– Use fewer herbs and spices than for
conventional cooking as the effect on
the taste of the food is more intensive.
You can also prepare the food
without seasoning and add seasoning after cooking.
– The cooking duration is reduced
when salt, sugar, and liquids are added.
– The food becomes firmer if acidic in-
gredients, such as lemon or vinegar
are added.
– Do not use alcohol or garlic as this
can cause an unpleasant taste.
– Only use vacuum sealing bags that
match the size of the food. If the bag
is too big, too much air may remain
inside.
– If you want to cook several items of
food in one vacuum sealing bag, put
them side-by-side in the bag.
– Cooking at a lower temperature and
for a longer duration can result in increased residual water in the cooking
compartment. This does not affect
the cooking result.
– Temperatures and cooking durations
from Sous-vide recipes cannot always be adopted exactly. Alter the
settings to achieve the degree of
cooking you want.
– If you want to cook food in several
bags at once, put the bags side-byside on the shelf.
– The cooking durations depend on the
thickness of the food.
– With higher temperatures and/or
longer cooking durations, a lack of
water may occur. Check the display
from time to time.
– Keep the door closed during the
cooking programme. Opening the
door extends the programme and
can change the cooking result.
85
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
Tips
– To reduce preparation times, you can
vacuum food 1–2days before cooking. Store the vacuum sealed food in
the refrigerator at a maximum temperature of 5°C. To maintain quality
and taste, the food must be cooked
after a maximum of 2days.
– Freeze liquids such as marinades be-
fore vacuum-sealing to prevent them
from escaping from the bag.
– Fold the edges of the vacuum sealing
bag outwards for filling in order to
obtain clean, perfect seams.
– If you do not want to eat the food dir-
ectly after cooking, put it in iced water to cool down completely. Then
store it at a maximum temperature of
5°C.
In this way, you can maintain quality
and taste while extending the life of
the food.
Exception: Consume poultry immediately after cooking.
– Use the brine or marinade of veget-
ables, fish, or meat to make a sauce.
– Serve the food on pre-warmed
plates.
– After cooking, cut the vacuum sealing
bag on all sides for easier access to
the food.
– Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish
(such as salmon) before serving for a
roasted aroma.
86
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
Procedure
Rinse the food with cold water and
dry it.
Place the food in a vacuum sealing
bag and add spices or liquid if desired.
Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber
system vacuum sealer.
For optimum cooking results place
the rack on shelf level2.
Place the vacuum-sealed food on the
rack (next to each other if there are
several bags).
Place the condensate tray on the low-
est shelf level.
Select Further programmes.
Scroll through the list until Sous-vide is
highlighted.
Confirm with OK.
Change the recommended temperat-
ure if necessary.
Confirm with OK.
Possible reasons for unsatisfactory results
The bag has opened:
– The seal was not clean or strong
enough and has opened.
– The bag was damaged by a sharp
bone.
The food has an unpleasant or strange
taste:
– Incorrect storage of the food; the
food was kept out of the refrigerator
for too long.
– The food was contaminated with
bacteria before it was vacuum
sealed.
– Too much of ingredients such as
spices was added.
– The bag or seal was not in perfect or-
der.
– The vacuum was insufficient.
– The food was not eaten or chilled im-
mediately after cooking.
Set the cooking duration. Any time
between 1minute and 10hours can
be set.
Confirm with OK.
Select further settings if required (see
"Operation: Steam cooking - Advanced operation").

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
Reheating
Only reheat brassicas, e.g. kohlrabi and
cauliflower in combination with a sauce.
Without sauce, an unpleasant cabbagelike taste and grey-brown colour may
develop.
Food with a short cooking duration or
which continues cooking during reheating, e.g. fish, is not suitable for reheating.
Preparation
Place the cooked food into ice water for
approx. 1hour directly after cooking.
The rapid cooling prevents the food
from continuing to cook, which helps
retain the optimum cooked condition.
Then store the food in the refrigerator at
a maximum temperature of 5°C.
Please note that the quality of the
food decreases the longer it is
stored.
We recommend that you do not store
the food in the refrigerator for longer
than 5days before reheating.

Special applications
Reheating with steam
To reheat food which was cooked using the Sous-vide method, use the
Sous-vide function (see "Sous-vide
(vacuum) cooking – Reheating").
The steam oven is very effective at reheating food gently, without drying it
out or cooking it further. The food will
reheat evenly and does not need to be
stirred during the reheating process.
You can reheat individual dishes or
plated meals which have been prepared
previously (e.g. meat, vegetables and
potatoes).
Suitable containers
Small quantities can be reheated on a
plate, larger quantities should be placed
in a cooking container.
Duration
The number of plates or containers has
no bearing on the duration.
The cooking durations listed in the chart
relate to an average portion per plate/
container. Increase the cooking duration
for larger quantities.
Tips
– Do not reheat large items, such as a
joint of roast meat, whole. Divide it
into portions and reheat these as
plated meals.
– Compact items, such as stuffed pep-
pers or roulades, should be cut in
half.
– Please note that breaded items, such
as schnitzel, will not retain their crispness when they are reheated.
– Reheat sauces separately, except for
dishes such as stew and casseroles
where the sauce is part of the dish.
Procedure
Cover the food with a deep plate, a
lid, or with foil that is resistant to temperatures up to 100 °C and to steam.
Then place the plate on the rack in
the oven.

Special applications
Defrosting with steam
It is much quicker to defrost food in the
steam oven than at room temperature.
Temperature
60 °C is the best temperature for defrosting.
Exception: 50 °C for minced meat and
game
Before and after defrosting
Remove all packaging before defrosting.
Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and
cakes in their packaging as otherwise
they will absorb moisture and become
soft.
Allow defrosted food to stand at room
temperature after removing it from the
oven. The standing time is necessary to
allow the even distribution of heat.
Cooking containers
Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Do not use the liquid from defrosted
meat or poultry. Pour it away and
wash the container, the sink and your
hands.
Tips
– Fish does not need to be fully defros-
ted before cooking. Defrost so that
the surface is sufficiently thawed to
take herbs and seasoning. Depending
on the thickness of the fish, 2 - 5
minutes should be enough.
– When defrosting food which has
frozen together, e.g. berries, chops,
fish fillets etc. separate it about halfway through the defrosting time.
– Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
– Defrost frozen pre-cooked meals ac-
cording to the manufacturer's instructions.

Special applications
Bottling
Only use unblemished, fresh produce
which is in good condition for bottling.
Glass jars
Use clean glass jars and accessories
and check them for any defects. Glass
jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a
rubber seal are suitable.
Make sure that all the jars are the same
size so that bottling is carried out
evenly.
After you have filled the jars with the
bottled produce, clean the glass rims
with a clean cloth and hot water and
then seal the jars.
Fruit
Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but
thoroughly and allow it to drain. Take
great care when cleaning soft fruit as it
is very delicate and squashes easily.
Remove any peel, stalks, cores or
stones. Cut up large fruit. For example,
cut apples into slices.
Fill volume
Fill the glass jars with produce up to a
maximum of 3cm below the rim. Do
not pack it down as this will damage
the cell walls of the produce. Tap the jar
gently onto a cloth to help distribute the
contents evenly. Fill the jars with liquid.
The produce must be completely
covered.
Use a sugar solution for fruit and a salt
or vinegar solution for vegetables.
Tips
– Make use of residual heat by leaving
the jars in the oven for 30 minutes
after it has switched off.
– Then cover the jars with a cloth and
allow to cool for approx. 24 hours.
If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g.
plums, apricots) without removing the
stones, pierce the fruit several times
with a fork or wooden skewer as otherwise it will burst.
Vegetables
Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.
Vegetables should be blanched before
bottling to help them retain their colour
(see "Blanching").
97

Special applications
Extracting juice with steam
This appliance is ideal for extracting
juice from soft and medium firm fruit.
It is best to use overripe fruit, as the
riper the fruit the greater the quantity of
juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also
produce a more intense flavour.
Preparation
Sort and clean the fruit. Cut out any
blemishes.
Remove the stalks from grapes and
morello cherries as these are bitter. The
stalks do not need to be removed from
raspberries etc.
Cut larger fruit into chunks approx. 2
cm in size. The harder the fruit the
smaller the pieces should be.
Tips
– Try experimenting with mild and tart
fruit.
Procedure
Put the prepared fruit (cleaned,
washed, chopped etc.) into a perforated cooking container.
Place a solid container or the con-
densate tray underneath to catch the
juice.
Settings
Steam cooking
Temperature: 100°C
Duration: 40–70 minutes
– Adding sugar will increase the quant-
ity of juice produced and improve the
flavour. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar
and leave to absorb for a few hours
before juicing. For 1kg of sweet fruit
add 50–100g of sugar, and for 1kg
of tart fruit add 100–150g of sugar.
– If you wish to bottle the juice rather
than consume it straight away, pour it
whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles,
and then seal immediately with sterilised tops.
