to spill the contents. Avoid contact with  
hot steam, and do not touch the hot  
oven interior walls. Danger of burning  
and scalding.  
Take care not to tip the water  
container when taking it out of the  
appliance. Hot water can scald.  
The appliance, especially the  
inside of the door and the area  
around the ventilation outlet, becomes  
extremely hot during use, and remains  
hot for some time after switching off.  
If the oven is still hot, steam will  
escape when the door is opened.  
Stand back away from the appliance  
and wait until the steam has dissipated.  
Take care when opening the door  
not to spill any hot water that has  
collected in the drip channel.  
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.

Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal 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 your  
old appliance with your household  
waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for disposal  
and can normally be recycled.  
Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene  
and plastic wrappings, must be kept  
out of the reach of babies and young  
children. Danger of suffocation.  
Dispose of or recycle all packaging  
materials safely as soon as possible.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre and ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.

Before using for the first time  
Cleaning and heating up for  
the first time  
Now fill the water container with mains  
tap water (see "Before each use") and  
then run the appliance for 15 minutes at  
100°C for 15 minutes. Proceed as  
described in "Operation".  
Open the door by pressing on the left  
hand side of the door release. The door  
will open slightly.  
This process flushes out the waterways  
and sets the appliance for the altitude  
in your area.

appliance and remove the insert (see  
"Cleaning and care"). Rinse the water  
container and the insert thoroughly by  
hand using hot water. Do not use any  
washing-up liquid or detergent.  
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").  
Do not clean the water container or  
the insert in a dishwasher. Do not  
immerse the water container in  
water.  
Warning! A lot of steam will be emitted  
from the appliance the first time it is  
used, and the first time it is descaled  
after moving house.  
Take all accessories out of the steam  
oven and wash them in a mild solution  
of washing-up liquid and hot water or in  
the dishwasher (this does not apply to  
the water container and insert - see  
above).  
The interior of the steam oven has been  
treated with a conditioning agent before  
leaving the factory. To remove this,  
clean the cooking compartment with a  
mild solution of washing-up liquid and  
hot water and then dry thoroughly with  
a soft cloth.

and scalding.  
Insufficient water is indicated in the  
display by the flashing p symbol. An  
audible tone will also sound during  
operation.  
^ Check the water level and add water  
if necessary.  
^ Push the water container into the  
appliance until it connects.  
^ Close the door.  
You can now use the oven as normal.

Practical tips  
Suitable containers  
– More compact dishes such as  
casseroles or bakes, or 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. The  
fuller the container, the longer it will  
take to cook. It is best to use 2 or 3  
shallow containers rather than one  
deep one for these types of foods,  
and then fill them only 3-5 cm deep.  
Cooking times quoted are calculated  
on this principle. Deeper dishes will  
take longer to cook.  
Some stainless steel cooking  
containers are supplied with the  
appliance. Other containers, in a variety  
of sizes, both perforated and solid, are  
available as optional extras.  
When choosing the most suitable  
container for the particular food you are  
cooking, please note:  
– Use perforated cooking containers  
whenever possible, e.g. for cooking  
vegetables. The steam can reach the  
food from all sides and the food is  
cooked evenly.  
To ensure even results when cooking  
with more than one container, do not  
use more than one gastronorm size  
GN 1/2 container.  
– With large items of food, such as  
whole potatoes, the steam can work  
effectively because there are spaces  
between the individual pieces into  
which the steam can penetrate.This  
way a large quantity will take the  
same time to cook as a smaller  
amount and large, deep containers  
can be used. Where possible space  
the food out to allow the steam more  
room.  
– The steam oven is designed to cook  
quantities of up to 6-8 portions. Be  
careful not to exceed the amounts  
quoted.  
You will find various tips on how to use  
the steam oven in the following sections  
or in the cook book.  
21  
 
Practical tips  
Heat-resistant glass, ceramic,  
porcelain, plastic, stainless steel and  
enamel dishes are all suitable.  
Important:  
– Place the container on the rack  
supplied.  
– Ensure that there is a gap of at least  
3 cm between the upper rim of the  
container and the top of the cooking  
compartment to allow sufficient  
steam into the container.  
– If using plastic cooking containers,  
make sure that they are  
heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to  
withstand hot steam.  
– Food will take considerably longer to  
cook than the time quoted if the dish  
has thick sides.

Practical tips  
Tips on steaming  
– Frozen fish should be partially  
defrosted before cooking. We  
recommend using the "Defrost"  
temperature of 60°C (see "Defrosting"  
for more information).  
– In general, the cooking durations for  
cooking with steam are the same as  
for cooking food in a saucepan.  
– Steam prevents food from drying out  
so it remains moist, and juices are  
not lost. This applies to a wide variety  
of food, including dumplings, steam  
puddings, fish and meat dishes, as  
well as vegetables.  
– Cooking with steam retains the true  
taste of the food better than  
conventional cooking. Therefore food  
should not be seasoned until after it  
has been cooked.  
– Only fill solid containers 3/4 full with  
liquid.  
– You can select any shelf level. You  
can also cook on several levels at  
the same time. This will not alter the  
cooking duration.  
– Dried foods like pasta and rice must  
be cooked in liquid. Pasta should be  
well covered with liquid. With pulses,  
grains, parboiled rice, basmati rice  
and wild rice, the proportion of food  
to liquid should be 1:1, with brown  
rice 1:1.5 and risotto rice 1:2.  
– Food does not brown or get crisp  
from over-cooking. It is gently  
steamed, and not roasted or baked.  
Cheese melts perfectly without  
getting burnt. It is a healthy way of  
cooking, and it brings out the distinct – When cooking noodles, follow the  
flavour of the food.  
manufacturer's instructions on the  
packaging regarding cooking  
duration.  
– When cooking frozen food, e.g.  
vegetables, ensure that any large  
clumps frozen together are broken  
up first so that they cook evenly. The  
cooking duration is approximately  
the same as for fresh vegetables.  
– Cooking liquids do not boil away.  
They are either absorbed by the  
food, as with rice and pasta, or they  
remain in the dish to form a sauce,  
as with casseroles. The sauce can  
then be thickened or added to after  
cooking.  
– Frozen and fresh vegetables which  
take the same length of time to cook  
can be cooked together.  
– You can thicken sauces in the steam  
oven by adding flour and butter to  
liquid (40 g flour and 40 g butter to  
0.5 litres liquid).  
26  
 
Practical tips  
– Grease perforated containers  
beforehand if using them to cook  
fish, and solid containers if using to  
cook dishes containing eggs.  
– Yeast dough can be put in the oven  
to rise. Cover the dough.  
– When cooking fish or food with a  
distinctive colour (e.g. spinach) in a  
perforated container, place the  
container directly above the  
condensate tray to avoid any transfer  
of tastes or colour to other food.

Practical tips  
Frozen food can be defrosted in this  
appliance in much less time than when  
defrosting at room temperature.  
– 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 at 60 °C should be  
enough.  
Proceed as follows:  
^ Place the food in a suitable container  
or on the rack.  
– When defrosting food which has  
frozen together, e.g. berries, chops,  
fish fillets etc separate or break it up  
about half-way through the defrosting  
time.  
^ Select the temperature (see chart).  
^ Select the defrost duration (see  
chart).  
Tips on defrosting  
– Allow food to stand at room  
temperature at the end of defrosting.  
This standing time (see chart) is  
necessary to ensure that the food is  
fully defrosted right through to the  
core.  
– All meat and poultry should be fully  
defrosted before cooking. When  
defrosting meat or poultry place the  
condensate tray underneath the rack  
to catch the defrosted liquid, so that  
the meat is not lying in this liquid.  
– Do not refreeze food once it has  
thawed.  
It is particularly important to observe  
food hygiene rules when defrosting  
poultry. Do not use the liquid from  
defrosted poultry. Pour it away and  
wash the tray, the sink and your  
hands. Danger of salmonella  
poisoning!  
– Defrost frozen pre-cooked meals  
according to the manufacturer's  
instructions.  
– Defrost baked goods in a sealed  
freezer bag.  
– Food which does not drip can be  
placed on the rack or in a dish once  
the wrapping has been removed.

31  
 
Practical tips  
Cooking whole meals  
^ First place the dish with the longest  
cooking time, i.e. the rice, in the  
oven.  
It is very economical and practical to  
cook a whole meal at the same time in  
the steam oven.  
^ Select and confirm a temperature of  
100 °C.  
Proceed as follows:  
^ Calculate the initial cooking duration  
by subtracting the cooking duration  
for the fish from the duration for the  
rice, i.e. 20 minutes less 6 minutes =  
14 minutes.  
^ Place cooking containers on different  
levels or place them side by side or  
one on top of the other on the rack.  
In general, cooking durations will vary  
according to the type of food. This  
means that you will need to open the  
steam oven at different times to add a  
particular dish. See example below:  
^ After 14 minutes, place the fish in the  
oven.  
^ To calculate the next cooking  
duration subtract the time for the  
broccoli from the time for the fish:  
6 - 4 = 2. Set a duration of 2 minutes  
and confirm your selection.  
Rice  
Fish fillet  
Broccoli  
20 minutes  
6 minutes  
4 minutes  
^ After 2 minutes, place the third dish  
(broccoli) in the oven.  
^ Set the cooking duration for the  
broccoli, 4 minutes and confirm your  
selection.  
At the end of the cooking duration you  
can remove all three dishes at the same  
time.  
32  
 
Practical tips  
Blanching  
Preparing yoghurt  
You can use your steam oven to blanch  
vegetables and fruit for freezing.  
Proceed as follows:  
^ Mix 100 g yoghurt (with live culture)  
with 1 litre of fresh milk. The yoghurt  
and milk should have the same  
percentage fat content.  
If using unpasteurised milk you will  
need to heat it up to 90 °C (do not  
boil) and then leave it to cool.  
Proceed as follows:  
^ Put the prepared vegetables/fruit  
(cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into  
a perforated cooking container.  
^ Select and confirm a temperature of  
100 °C.  
Otherwise the yoghurt will not set.  
^ Set and confirm a duration of 1  
minute.  
^ Pour this milk mixture into 6 or 7  
portion sized glass dishes and cover  
with heat resistant cling film.  
Special yoghurt jars may also be  
used.  
^ Once blanched, plunge the  
vegetables/fruit into ice cold water to  
cool them down quickly. Drain them  
well.  
^ Place the covered dishes on the  
rack.  
The vegetables/fruit can now be frozen.  
^ Reduce the temperature to 40 °C and  
confirm your selection.  
^ Set a maximum duration of 4 hours  
and 59 minutes.  
^ Allow the yoghurt to cool and then  
place in the refrigerator.  
It will not achieve its maximum set until  
it has been thoroughly chilled.  
33  
 
Practical tips  
Disinfecting baby bottles  
Proceed as follows:  
The steam oven can be used to  
disinfect baby bottles and other  
containers. Check beforehand that all  
parts, teats etc., are declared by the  
manufacturer to be heat-resistant to  
100 °C.  
^ Place the condensate tray on the  
floor of the cooking compartment and  
place the rack on top of the  
condensate tray.  
^ Dismantle, clean and thoroughly  
rinse the bottles and space the  
individual parts out on the rack,  
ensuring that they do not touch one  
another. This allows the hot steam to  
reach them from all sides.  
^ Select and confirm a temperature of  
100 °C.  
^ Set and confirm a duration of at least  
15 minutes.  
^ Dry thoroughly using a fresh, clean  
tea towel after disinfection. All parts  
of the bottles must be completely dry  
before they are reassembled to keep  
them germ free.

manufacturer cannot accept liability.  
Do not use cleaners containing  
alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides,  
oven sprays, dishwasher cleaner or  
abrasive cleaning agents, hard  
brushes, scouring pads and cloths  
or steel wool. You should also avoid  
using sponges etc. which have  
previously been used with abrasive  
cleaning agents, as these would  
damage the surface.  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioning  
agent for stainless steel can also be  
used.  
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.  
See "Optional accessories" for details  
of accessories for cleaning and care.  
Do not use commercial cleaning  
agents. Only use agents designed  
for domestic use.  
Do not use cleaning agents or

a
b
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.  
37  
 
Cleaning and care  
Coupling seal  
The coupling seal should be replaced  
with a new one if it becomes brittle or  
porous over time 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. See  
back page for contact details.  
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.  
The coupling seal needs to be  
lubricated regularly. 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  
"Accessories supplied") into the inside  
of the coupling seal. When doing this,  
do not detach the seal but leave it in  
place.  
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.  
38  
 
Cleaning and care  
Descaling  
An audible tone will sound and "0:22 h"  
will appear in the display and the k  
symbol will start flashing.  
Use the descaling tablets supplied  
with the appliance (see "Optional  
accessories" for reordering details.)  
or a proprietary citric acid based  
descaling agent to descale the  
appliance. Follow the manufacturer's  
instructions on the packaging.  
Proceed as follows:  
The water container will need descaling  
after a certain number of operating  
hours. The display will alert you when  
this needs done. After switching on, the  
descaling symbol k and the number 10  
will appear in the display.  
^ Fill the water container with 1 litre of  
descaling solution. To make the  
solution, use cold water and  
descaling tablets, as instructed on
