Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. Damage to the steam combination oven can compromise your safety. Check the steam combination oven for visible signs of damage. Never use a damaged steam combination oven. Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or nonmains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks, back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that the energy supply system complies with all current local and national requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery systems. The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele product must also be assured in their function and operation in isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or replaced with equivalent measures in the installation. The electrical safety of the steam combination oven can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is essential that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly. If in doubt, the electrical installation should be checked by a qualified electrician. The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of the steam combination oven must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid the risk of damage to the steam combination oven. Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not use these to connect the steam combination oven to the mains electrical supply. For safety reasons, this steam combination oven must only be used after it has been built in.
11

Warning and Safety instructions
This steam combination oven must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship). Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the steam combination oven will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the steam combination oven housing under any circumstances. The manufacturer's warranty may be invalidated if the steam combination oven is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician. Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used. If the electrical plug is removed from the mains connection cable or if the mains connection cable is supplied without a power plug, the steam combination oven must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician. If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains connection cable by a qualified and competent electrician in order to avoid a hazard (see "Installation - Electrical connection"). During installation, maintenance and repair work, the steam combination oven must be completely disconnected from the mains electricity supply. To ensure this: - Switch off the mains circuit breaker, or - remove the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is applicable),
or - switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug. To do this, pull
the plug and not the mains connection cable.
12

Warning and Safety instructions
If the steam combination oven is installed behind a furniture door, do not close the door while the steam combination oven is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture door. This can potentially cause damage to the steam combination oven, the furniture unit and the flooring. Leave the furniture door open until the steam combination oven has cooled down completely. Connection to the mains water supply should only be carried out by a qualified and competent specialist. Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection. The steam combination oven must be connected to the cold water supply only. The tap for the water inlet must be easily accessible after the steam combination oven has been installed. Before connection, check the inlet and drain hoses for visible signs of damage. The steam combination oven may only be connected to the water supply with the new hose set supplied with the machine. Old hoses must not be reused. The water flow pressure must be at least 100 kPa and must not exceed 600 kPa. The integrated water protection system offers protection from water damage, provided the following conditions are met: - The steam combination oven is correctly installed (electrical and
water connections). - The steam combination oven is repaired if any damage is
identified. - The tap has been turned off when the appliance is not going to be
used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays). Warning: If the lamps need to be replaced, ensure they are replaced by a Miele approved service technician and that the appliance is switched off beforehand to avoid the possibility of an electric shock.
13

Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Correct use Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam combination oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven compartment, accessories, door glass, food or steam. Wear oven gloves when placing hot food in the oven or removing it, when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven compartment and when closing the door. Risk of injury caused by hot food. Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or removing it. The food can cause burns. When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill. Preserving and heating food in sealed tins will result in an increase in pressure, which can cause them to explode. Do not use tins for preserving or heating food. Plastic dishes that are not suitable for use in an oven will melt and may ignite at high temperatures and damage the steam combination oven. Use only plastic containers that are suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you wish to use plastic containers for steam cooking, make sure that these are heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to withstand hot steam. Other plastic containers can melt or become fragile and brittle. Food which is stored in the oven compartment can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam combination oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
14

Warning and Safety instructions Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily. The door can support a maximum load of 10 kg. Do not lean or sit on an open door, or place heavy items on it. Make sure that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment. The steam combination oven may get damaged. Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the steam combination oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Never attempt to put out oil or fat fires with water. Switch the steam combination oven off and extinguish the flames by leaving the door closed. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam combination oven could catch fire. Do not use the steam combination oven to heat up the room. Grilling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it to dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the recommended cooking durations. Some foods dry out very quickly and can be ignited by high grilling temperatures. Do not use grilling functions for crisping rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Instead use Fan Plus or Conventional Heat . To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the door of the steam combination oven if smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the programme by switching the steam combination oven 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 and even to ignite on the hot heating elements.
15

Warning and Safety instructions Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil
or oven liners. Do not place any crockery or any pans, pots or baking trays directly on the floor of the oven compartment. If you want to use the floor of the oven compartment as an extra surface, place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. In doing so, ensure that the filter in the floor of the oven is not moved. The oven compartment floor can become damaged by the rack being pushed around on it. Do not push the rack around on the oven compartment floor. Larger deposits of food can block the drain and pump. Always make sure that the filter in the floor of the oven is inserted. To prevent the risk of damage, do not leave the food probe in the steam combination oven when it is not being used. When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender, near the steam combination oven, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the steam combination oven door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard. The steam could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. This could also destroy the electrical components. Do not operate the steam combination oven without the lamp cover.
16

Warning and Safety instructions Cleaning and care Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning. 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 shelf runners can be removed (see "Cleaning and care Cleaning the shelf runners"). Refit the shelf runners correctly. 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 on the stainless steel surface. Accessories Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your steam combination oven. Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food probe. The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures. Do not use the food probe when grilling (exception: Fan Grill ). If you are not using the food probe, do not store it in the oven.
17

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally 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. 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.

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. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of the functions

Control panel
The water container and food probe are located behind the control panel. The control panel is opened and closed by touching the sensor. It is fitted with anti-trapping protection. If the control panel senses resistance when opening/ closing, the process is cancelled. Despite this, do not touch the upper edge of the door when the control panel is opening and closing.
Water container
Water is pumped into the water container and then into the steam generator.
A malfunction can occur if the aperture to the water container is blocked. The aperture on the front of the water container must not be blocked as otherwise water cannot be pumped into the steam generator.
Food probe
The food probe measures the core temperature in the food, enabling the temperature during the cooking process to be monitored simply and accurately.

Temperature/Core temperature
Some functions are allocated with a recommended temperature. The recommended temperature can be altered within the given range for an individual cooking programme, a programme stage or for every time that programme is used (see "Settings Recommended temperatures"). The core temperature can also be altered within the given range for an individual programme or a specific programme stage.
Moisture
The Combi mode function and Reheat Special application use a combination of oven heat and moisture. The moisture level can be selected within the given range for an individual programme or a specific programme stage. Depending on the moisture setting, moisture or fresh air is supplied to the oven compartment. With the moisture setting = 0%, the maximum fresh air supply is implemented and no moisture is supplied. With the moisture setting = 100%, there is no fresh air supply and the moisture content is at its maximum. Some food gives off moisture during the cooking process. This moisture from the food affects the amount of additional moisture needed. If the required amount of moisture is low, the steam generator may not be activated at all.

Description of the functions

Cooking duration
Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of between 1 minute and 6, 10 or 12 hours. The cooking durations of the Automatic, Maintenance and Menu cooking programmes are set at the factory and cannot be altered. When cooking with steam, as well as for programmes and applications with pure steam operation, the cooking duration does not begin until the set temperature is reached. It starts immediately for all other functions, programmes and applications.
Noises
A humming sound can be heard during operation and after switching off the steam combination oven. This noise does not indicate incorrect operation or an appliance fault. The noise is made by water being pumped through the system. When the steam combination oven is in use, you will hear a fan noise.

Heating-up phase
The display shows the temperature in the oven compartment as it rises during the heating-up phase in all functions (exceptions: Full Grill , Economy Grill ). The duration of the heating-up phase with steam cooking will depend on the quantity and temperature of the food. In general, the heating-up phase will take approx. 7 minutes. It will be longer if you are cooking refrigerated or frozen food. The heating-up phase may also take longer when cooking at lower temperatures and when cooking with the Sous-vide function.
Cooking phase
The elapsing remaining time is shown in the display during the cooking phase. When cooking with steam, the cooking phase begins once the set temperature is reached. It starts immediately for all other functions, programmes and applications.

Description of the functions

Steam reduction
With steam cooking and Combi mode, the steam reduction function will switch on automatically at the end of a cooking programme which uses a temperature within a certain temperature range. This is to prevent a large amount of steam escaping when the door is opened. Steam reduction appears in the display. Steam reduction can be switched off (see "Settings - Steam reduction"). When steam reduction is switched off, a large amount of steam will escape when the door is opened.

Oven interior lighting
For energy saving reasons, the oven interior lighting has been set at the factory to go out after the programme has begun. If you want the lighting to remain on during cooking, the relevant factory default setting needs to be changed (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. The lighting can be switched on for 15 seconds by touching the sensor on the control panel.

Settings

Water hardness
To ensure that the steam combination oven works correctly and to ensure that descaling is carried out at the correct interval, it must be set to the local water hardness level. The harder the water is, the more frequently the steam combination oven needs to be descaled. Contact your local water supplier to find out your local water hardness range if necessary. If you are using an on-site water softener, match the setting on the steam combination oven to the value set on the water softener. If you are using an on-site system to fully demineralise the water (e.g. a reverse osmosis system), the system must be set so the conductivity of the treated water is at least 100 S/cm. In the case of most water qualities, this can be achieved by setting a water hardness of at least 0.54 mmol/l (3 °dH) rather than fully demineralising the water. The conductivity is required for the fill level detection in the steam generator. Match the setting on the steam combination oven to the value set on the full demineralisation system. If you are using bottled water, it must comply with the relevant national regulations for drinking water quality. Do not use mineral water or carbonated water. Adjust the setting on the steam combination oven depending on the calcium content. The calcium content is specified on the label of the bottle in mg/l Ca2+ or ppm (mg/l CaCO3).

Energy saving tips

Cooking programmes
- Remove any accessories from the oven that are not required for a cooking process.
- In general, if a range of temperatures is given in a recipe or chart, it is best to select the lower temperature and to check the food after the shortest duration.
- Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.
- Avoid opening the door during a cooking process.
- Dark, matt tins are best for baking. They absorb the heat more effectively and transmit it to the mixture more quickly. Shiny materials such as stainless steel or aluminium reflect the heat, preventing it from reaching the food efficiently. Do not cover the oven floor or the rack with heatreflective aluminium foil.
- Monitor cooking durations to avoid wasting energy when cooking food. Set the cooking duration, or use a food probe if you have one.
- The Fan Plus function can be used for cooking many types of food. Because the fan distributes the heat in the oven compartment straight away, it allows you to use a lower temperature than you would with Conventional Heat . It also enables you to cook on several shelf levels at the same time.
- Fan Grill is the best function for grilled dishes. With Fan Grill you can use lower temperatures than with other grill functions which use the maximum temperature setting.
62

- The Eco Fan Heat function ensures energy-efficient cooking thanks to optimal utilisation of heat. Use this function for preparing small quantities such as frozen pizza or cookie cutter cookies. Do not open the door during the cooking programme.
- You can use the Eco Steam cooking function to save energy during steam cooking. This function is suitable mainly for cooking fish and vegetables.
- Whenever possible, you should cook several dishes at the same time. Place them next to each other in the oven or on different shelf levels.
- Dishes which you are unable to prepare at the same time should, if possible, be cooked one after the other in order to make use of existing heat in the oven.

Settings
- Select the setting Display | QuickTouch | Off for the control elements in order to reduce energy consumption.
- Select the Lighting | Off or "On" for 15 seconds setting for the oven interior lighting. The oven interior lighting can be switched on again at any time by touching the sensor.

Operation

Pre-heating the oven
The Booster function is used to quickly pre-heat the oven compartment in some functions. The Pre-heat function can be used with any oven function (except Eco Fan Heat ) and has to be switched on separately for each cooking programme. It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven in a few instances. Pre-heat the oven compartment
when cooking the following food: - Cakes and pastries with a short
cooking duration (up to approx. 30 minutes) and delicate items (e.g. sponge) with the Conventional Heat function
Booster The Booster function is switched on as the factory default setting for the following functions (Settings | Booster | On): - Fan Plus - Conventional Heat If you set a temperature above 100 °C and the Booster function is switched on, a rapid heating-up phase heats the oven compartment to the set temperature. The top heat/grill element and the ring heating element come on together with the hot air fan.
Delicate items (e.g. sponge or biscuits) will brown too quickly on the top if the Booster function is used. Switch off the Booster function for these items.

Switching Booster on or off for a cooking programme If you have selected the Booster | On setting, you can switch off the function separately for a cooking programme. On the other hand, you can also switch on the function separately for a cooking programme if you have selected the Booster | Off setting. Example: You have selected a function and the required settings such as the temperature. You want to switch off the Booster function for this cooking programme. Drag down the pull-down menu. Booster is highlighted in orange. Select Booster. Depending on the colour scheme, Booster is highlighted in either black or white. Close the pull-down menu.

General notes

This section contains general information. 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 container This steam combination 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 meal you are preparing. Use perforated cooking containers for steam cooking if possible. 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 suitable for use in
an oven and able to withstand steam. With plastic containers, please check with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use in a steam combination oven. - Thick-sided containers made from porcelain, ceramic, or stoneware are not very suitable for using with steam. Due to their thick sides, they do not conduct heat well and as a result cooking durations will be considerably longer than those given in the charts. - Place the containers on the rack or on a suitable tray. Depending on the size of the container, you can also place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. You can also take the shelf runners out to make more room (see "Cleaning and care - Cleaning the shelf runners"). - 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.

General notes

Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration. When cooking with more than one deep cooking container at the same time, offset them to allow steam to circulate properly. If possible, leave a shelf level between the containers. Always insert cooking containers, the rack and the tray between the rails of the shelf runners so that they cannot tip.

Duration
During steam cooking, the cooking duration does not begin until the set temperature is reached. 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 of potatoes.

Frozen
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.

Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid, only fill the cooking container ²/ full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.

Temperature
During steam cooking, the temperature does not exceed 100 °C. Almost all foods can be cooked at this temperature. Some types of food, such as berries, need to be cooked at lower temperatures to prevent them from bursting. See the relevant sections in these operating instructions for more details.

Your own recipes steam cooking
Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan can also be cooked in the steam combination oven. The cooking durations in the steam combination oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be brown or crisp when cooking with steam.

General notes
Universal tray and combi rack
Use the universal tray with the combi rack placed on top of it, e.g. for roasting and grilling. During roasting, you can use the meat juices collected in the tray to make a gravy or sauce. If you are using the universal tray with the combi rack on top, insert the universal tray between the rails of a shelf level and the combi rack will automatically sit on top. When removing them from the oven, pull both out together. Non-tip safety notches The combi rack and universal tray have non-tip safety notches which prevent them being pulled right out when they only need to be partially pulled out. The tray and rack can then only be taken out of the oven by raising them upwards and then pulling them out.

Eco Steam cooking
You can use the Eco Steam cooking function to save energy during steam cooking. This function is suitable mainly for cooking fish and vegetables. We recommend using the cooking durations and temperatures given in the chart under "Steam cooking". You can cook for longer if necessary.
When cooking starchy foods such as potatoes, rice and pasta, the best function to use is Steam cooking .
Setting Oven functions | Eco Steam cooking

Notes on the cooking charts
Follow the instructions on cooking durations, temperatures and cooking notes.
Selecting the cooking duration The cooking durations given are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter
duration initially. You can cook for longer if necessary.

Steam cooking

Vegetables
Fresh Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.
Frozen food Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand. Exception: the vegetables have been frozen together in a block. Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together. If vegetables have frozen together in clumps, break these up before cooking with steam. Follow the manufacturer's 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 - 5 cm deep. When cooking large quantities, divide the food between 2 or 3 shallow containers rather than using one deep one. Different types of vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together in one cooking container. Use solid containers for vegetables which are cooked in liquid, e.g. cabbage.

Shelf level When cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container at the same time as cooking other foods in other containers, place the solid tray directly underneath the perforated container to catch any drips and therefore avoid any colour transfer.
Duration The cooking duration depends on the size of the food and how well cooked you want it, just as it does with conventional cooking methods. Example: Firm potatoes, cut into quarters: approx. 12 minutes Firm potatoes, cut in half: approx. 17 minutes

Steam cooking

Fish
Fresh Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen 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, 25 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 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 or line it with baking paper.
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 universal tray to catch any liquid and so avoid any transfer of tastes to other food.

Temperature 85 °C 90 °C For gently cooking delicate types of fish, such as flounder. 100 °C For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g. 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.

Steam cooking

Useful tips - Adding herbs and spices, such as dill,
will help bring out the full flavour of the fish. - Cook large fish in the swimming position. To help maintain the structure of the fish, place a small cup or similar upside down in the cooking container. Arrange the fish bellyside down over the cup. - 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. - Preparing fish au bleu is a method involving cooking the fish in water with vinegar, at different proportions depending on the recipe. It is important not to damage the skin of the fish. This method is suitable for cooking trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Meat
Fresh Prepare the meat in the usual way.
Frozen food Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking (see "Special applications" "Defrost").
Preparation Meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. stewing steak, should be seared in a pan on the cooktop.
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 500 g which is 10 cm thick will take longer to cook than a piece of meat weighing 500 g which is 5 cm thick.

Useful tips - To retain the flavourings, use a
perforated cooking container. Place a solid cooking container or the universal tray underneath in order to collect the concentrate. You can use the concentrate to enhance your sauces or freeze it for later use. - Boiling chicken, back or top rib and meat bones can be used to make stock. Place the meat together with the bones and some mixed vegetables in a cooking container and add cold water. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.

Rice
Rice swells when cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The proportion of rice to liquid will vary depending on the type of rice. The rice absorbs all the liquid during the cooking process so that none of the nutrients are lost.
Cooking container Use a solid cooking container. Smaller quantities of rice (up to one cup, approx. 50-150 g) can alternatively be cooked in a suitable stainless steel bowl on the rack.
Preparation Wash the rice before cooking. If you wash the rice in the cooking container, drain the water off carefully afterwards. Useful tip: The required volume of liquid can be determined using scales or the "cup" method. For the "cup method", first fill the desired amount of rice into a cup and then put the rice into the cooking container. Then measure the required volume of liquid (see chart) with the cup and add it to the rice. Make sure that the rice is evenly distributed in the cooking container.

Menu cooking - manual
Before cooking meals with the manual Menu cooking function, switch off steam reduction (see "Settings Steam reduction").
Menu cooking involves cooking various foods with different cooking times in order to serve them all together in one meal, e.g. rosefish fillet with rice and broccoli. Foods are placed in the oven compartment at different times so that they are all ready at the same time. Shelf level Place foods that produce a lot of liquid (e.g. fish) or have a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) directly above the universal tray. This avoids any transfer of flavour or colour to other food by preventing 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. 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. flounder will become very firm when cooked at 100 °C.

Duration If you increase the recommended temperature, shorten the cooking duration by approx. ¹/.

Example: Food cooking durations (see cooking charts in "Steam cooking")

Parboiled rice Rosefish fillet Broccoli

24 minutes 6 minutes 4 minutes

Calculation of set cooking durations: 24 minutes minus 6 minutes = 18 minutes (1st cooking duration: rice) 6 minutes minus 4 minutes = 2 minutes (2nd cooking duration: rosefish fillet) Remaining time = 4 minutes (3rd cooking duration: broccoli

Steam cooking

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, boilingresistant vacuum 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 bag more than once.

Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber system vacuum sealer only.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Important notes on use
For an optimum cooking result: - Use herbs and spices more sparingly
than with conventional methods because the impact on the taste of the food will be stronger. You can also cook the food unseasoned and add seasoning after cooking. - The cooking duration is reduced when salt, sugar, and liquids are added. - The food becomes firmer if acidic foods, 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 vacuum bag is too big, too much air can remain inside. - If you want to cook several pieces of food in one vacuum bag, put them side by side in the bag. - If you want to cook food in several vacuum sealing bags at once, put the bags side by side on the rack.

- The cooking durations depend on the thickness of the food.
- Keep the door closed during the cooking process. Opening the door extends the cooking process and can change the cooking result.
- Temperatures and cooking durations from sous-vide recipes cannot always be emulated exactly. Alter the settings to achieve the degree of cooking you want.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Useful tips
- In order to reduce cooking times, you can vacuum seal food items 12 days before the cooking programme. Store the vacuum-sealed food in the refrigerator at no more than 5 °C. In order to preserve quality and flavour, the food should be cooked no later than 2 days afterwards.
- Freeze liquids such as marinades before vacuum sealing to prevent them from escaping from the bag.
- Fold the edges of the vacuum sealing bag outwards for filling. This will give you clean, perfect weld seams.
- If you do not want to eat the food straight after cooking, put it in iced water immediately and allow it to cool down completely. After this, store the food at temperatures no greater than 5 °C. This way, you can retain the food's quality and flavour while keeping it fresh for longer. Exception: Poultry must be eaten straight after the cooking programme.
- After cooking, cut the vacuum bag on all sides for easier access to the food.
- Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish (such as salmon) before serving. This will help to develop a roasted aroma.
- Use the brine or marinade of vegetables, fish, or meat to make a sauce.
- Serve the food on pre-warmed plates.

Using the Sous-vide function
Rinse the food with cold water and dry it.
Place the food in a vacuum bag and add spices or liquid if desired.
Vacuum seal the food in a chamber system vacuum sealer.
For the best cooking results, place the rack on shelf level 2.
Place the vacuum-sealed food on the rack (next to each other if there are several bags).
Select Oven functions . Select Sous-vide . Change the recommended
temperature if necessary. Confirm with OK. Set further settings as necessary (see
"Operation").

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
Possible causes for poor results
The vacuum bag has opened: - The weld seam was not clean or
stable enough and came undone. - 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 were added. - The bag or weld seam were not in perfect order. - The vacuum was insufficient. - The food was not eaten or chilled immediately after cooking.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
Reheating
Only reheat brassicas, such as kohlrabi and cauliflower, in combination with a sauce. Without sauce, an unpleasant cabbage-like taste and grey-brown colour may develop. Foods with a short cooking time and those which have a different degree of doneness when reheated, e.g. fish, are not suited to being reheated. Preparation Immediately after cooking, place the food in ice cold water and leave for approximately one hour. The rapid cooling inhibits continued cooking of the food. This means the ideal degree of doneness of the food remains as it is. Store the food afterwards in the refrigerator at max. 3 °C.
Please note that the quality of food deteriorates the longer it is stored. We recommend storing food in the refrigerator for no longer than five days before reheating it. Settings Oven functions | Sous-vide Temperature: see chart Time: see chart

Special applications

Reheat
To reheat food which was cooked using the sous-vide method, use the Sous-vide function (see "Sous-vide Reheating"). The steam combination 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 1012 minutes are usually sufficient for one plate of food. More than one plate will need a little longer. If you are reheating several plated meals one after the other, the reheating time can be reduced by around 5 minutes for the second and subsequent plates as the oven compartment will still be hot.

Moisture content The more moist the food, the less moisture that needs to be added.
Useful 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 capsicum or roulades, should be cut in half. - Reheat sauces separately. Exceptions are dishes such as goulash, which is cooked in sauce. - Please note that breaded items, such as schnitzel, will not retain their crispness when they are reheated.
Food does not need to be covered before it is reheated.

Defrost
It is much quicker to defrost items in the steam combination oven than at room temperature.
Risk of infection from bacteria.
Bacteria such as salmonella can cause life-threatening food poisoning. It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting fish and meat, and in particular when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid produced during defrosting. Process the food as required as soon as it has been defrosted.
Temperature 60 °C is the best temperature for defrosting. Exceptions: 50 °C for minced meat and game.
Before and after defrosting Remove any packaging before defrosting. Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and cakes in their packaging as otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft. Allow food to stand at room temperature for a few minutes after defrosting. The standing time is necessary to allow the even distribution of heat from the outside to the inside.

Cooking containers Use a perforated container with the universal tray underneath when defrosting food which will drip, such as poultry. This way food will not be lying in defrosted liquid. Foods which do not drip can be defrosted in a solid cooking container.
Useful tips - 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, 25 minutes is generally enough. - When defrosting food which has frozen together, e.g. berries and meat portions, separate them half-way through the defrosting time. - Do not refreeze food once it has thawed. - Defrost frozen ready meals according to the instructions on the packaging.

Special applications

Mix & Match
The Mix & Match Special application is available to help with simple and uncomplicated preparation of plated meals. With this application, you can reheat food that has already been cooked (convenience food) or assemble a portioned-out meal using fresh food and cook it on a plate. During cooking, you have the choice between a crispy, browned result or gently cooked food with a succulent surface without additional browning.
Only use food that is completely hygienic. If you have any concerns, dispose of the food.
Useful tip: We recommend using the Miele App with the Mix & Match Special application. You can use the Miele App to interactively assemble your plated meal from the widest range of ingredients and transfer the programme settings to your steam combination oven. To use this function, you need to connect your steam combination oven to your Wi-Fi network. To do this, please refer to the instructions in "Before using for the first time Miele@home". If you are not using the Miele App, take note of the following instructions and assemble your plated meal with the help of the cooking charts.

Cooking containers Use: - a flat plate or a small ovenproof dish - a deep bowl or a cup for food that
requires liquid to be added Baked goods, pizza, tarte flambée, etc. can be placed directly on the rack (with baking paper if necessary).
The plastic containers for ready meals are not sufficiently heatresistant. Transfer ready meals into suitable cooking containers.
Tips for reheating plated meals - For fried or gratin dishes, use Crispy
reheating and for baked or boiled dishes, use Gentle reheating. - Using Crispy reheating ensures that only food that was crispy before reheating stays crispy. - The food should not exceed a height of 22.5 cm. Transfer taller food into flat containers (e.g. casserole) or slice it into smaller pieces (e.g. roulades, bakes). - Only reheat pasta mixed into a sauce. - Droplets of water may have accumulated underneath the crockery. Dry the droplets of water before serving.

109

Special applications

Tips for cooking plated meals - You can easily make a sauce from the
meat and fish stock: add 1 tsp. of cornflour to the raw meat or fish before cooking. Stir the sauce with a fork until smooth before serving. You can also use 1 tsp. of mashed potato powder (instant) or a pinch of guar gum instead of cornflour. - If cooking durations for different foods are not the same, you can compensate for this by changing the size of the food: if the cooking duration is shorter, make the pieces larger (e.g. large cauliflower florets). If the cooking duration is longer, make the pieces smaller (e.g. diced potatoes). - You can also compensate for differing cooking durations with layering: place food with a short cooking duration under a food with a long cooking duration or put them together as a small bake. - To prevent the food from drying out, prepare your dish with a sauce or marinade. You can also use cheese or bacon.

Assembling a plated meal using various components For a good cooking result, you must put together the individual components of the dish such as meat, side dishes and vegetables so that a common setting can be selected for browning. This setting must be suitable for all elements of the meal, or at least conditionally suitable. We recommend using the following procedure: Select a main ingredient based on the
cooking charts, e.g. steak. Select other ingredients which have
the corresponding settings for browning, e.g. green beans and rice.

Special applications

Menu cooking automatic
When cooking a menu automatically, you can combine up to 3 different foods in a single menu, e.g. fish fillet with rice and vegetables. With menu cooking, the food is placed in the steam combination oven at different times so that each item is ready at the same time. You can select items of food in any order, because the steam combination oven sorts them according to cooking duration and indicates when each item has to be placed in the oven.
The Finish at and Start at functions are not available with menu cooking.
Using the Menu cooking Special application Select Special applications | Menu
cooking. Select the food you want. Depending on the type of food selected, you will be asked about the size, weight and how well you want it cooked. Select the values required and then
confirm with OK. Select Add food. Select the next food you want and
proceed as described for the first type of food. Repeat for the third type of food if necessary. After confirming Start menu cooking, you will be prompted to place the food with the longest cooking duration in the oven.

When using perforated containers to cook foods that produce a lot of liquid or have a distinctive colour, be sure to place them over the universal tray. This avoids any transfer of flavour or colour to other food by preventing liquid dripping onto food below it.
At the end of the heating-up phase, the steam combination oven will indicate when the next item of food has to be placed inside. Once this time has been reached, a buzzer will sound. This process is repeated once again if there is a third food item. You can still cook food types not listed in the display together to prepare a menu. Please refer to "Steam cooking Menu cooking manual" for more information.

117

Special applications

Bottling
Only use unblemished, fresh produce which is in good condition.
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 glass 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. 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 "Special applications Blanch").
Fill volume Fill the glass jars with produce up to no more than 3 cm 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.
Meat and sausages Briefly fry or cook the meat before bottling. Use the juices with some added water, or the broth in which the meat was cooked, as the liquid content of the jars. Make sure there is no grease on the rim of the jars. When bottling sausages, only fill the jars to halfway as the meat will rise during the bottling process.

118

Useful 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.
Bottling food Place a perforated container or the
rack on level 1. Place the closed jars in the perforated
container or on the rack. The jars must not touch each other.

Special applications

Bottling cakes
Creamed, sponge and yeast dough mixtures are all suitable for bottling. Cakes will keep for approx. 6 months. Cakes made with fresh fruit are not suitable for long term storage, and must be consumed within 2 days of being made. Only use sterilised jars and accessories. The jars must be narrower at the bottom than at the top (mason jars). 0.25 l jars are the best for this purpose. The jars need to have a bottling ring, glass lid and a spring lock clip to be sealed. Make sure that all the jars are the same size so that the bottling process is carried out evenly. Grease the inside of the jars with butter up to 1 cm below the rim. Sprinkle inside the jars with fine breadcrumbs. Fill the jars ¹/ to ²/ full with mixture (depending on recipe). Make sure the rim
stays clean. Place the rack on shelf level 1. Place the open jars (all the same size) on the rack. The jars must not touch each
other. Close the jars immediately after bottling by clamping the glass lid down securely.
Do not let the cakes cool down. If the mixture has risen above the rim, it can be pushed back down into the jar with the glass lid. The durations specified in the chart are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter duration initially. You can extend the duration if necessary.

Special applications

Extracting juice
The steam combination oven is ideal for extracting juice from soft and 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 rinse the fruit, and cut out any blemishes. Remove the stalks from grapes and morello cherries as these are bitter. Berries do not need to have their stalks removed. Dice larger fruit such as apples into approximately 2 cm cubes. The harder the fruit, the smaller the pieces should be.
Useful tips - Try experimenting with mild and tart
flavours. For example, mix apples with elderberries. - Adding sugar will increase the quantity of juice produced and improve the flavour. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar and leave to absorb for a few hours before juicing. For 1 kg of sweet fruit add 50100 g of sugar, and for 1 kg of tart fruit add 100 150 g of sugar. - If you wish to bottle the juice rather than consume it straight away, pour it whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles up to the rim, and then seal immediately with sterilised rubber tops.

Extracting juice from fruit Put the prepared fruit (cleaned,
washed, chopped etc.) into a perforated cooking container. Place a solid cooking container or the universal tray underneath in order to collect the juice.

Blanch
Blanch fruit and vegetables before freezing them. Blanching helps maintain the quality of the produce when it is frozen. Blanching vegetables also helps them retain their original colour. Put the prepared vegetables (cleaned,
washed, chopped etc.) into a perforated cooking container and place in the oven compartment. Once blanched, plunge the vegetables into ice cold water to cool them down quickly. Drain them well.

Disinfect items
By the end of this programme, crockery and baby bottles disinfected in the steam combination oven are as free from germs as they would have been had they been boiled. Check beforehand that all parts, teats, etc. are declared by the manufacturer to be heat resistant to 100 °C and also that they can withstand hot steam. Dismantle baby bottles into their individual parts. Do not reassemble the bottles until they are completely dry. This is the only way to prevent them from getting reinfected. Place the individual items on the rack
or in a perforated container (on their sides or with the opening facing downwards) ensuring that they do not touch one another. This will allow hot steam to reach them from all sides.

Special applications

Make yoghurt
To prepare yoghurt, you will need milk and live culture or yoghurt starter powder, e.g. from a health food store. Use natural yogurt with live culture and without additives. Do not use heattreated yogurt. The yoghurt must be fresh (short storage time). You can use either unchilled long-life milk or fresh milk. Long-life milk can be used as it is no further preparation is required. Fresh milk must first be heated to 90 °C (do not boil it) and then cooled down to 35 °C. Fresh milk will give a better set than long-life milk. The yoghurt and milk should have the same percentage fat. Do not move or shake the jars while the yoghurt is fermenting. Immediately after preparation, leave the yoghurt to cool in the fridge. The firmness, fat content and cultures used in the yoghurt starter all affect the consistency of homemade yoghurt. Not all yoghurts are equally suitable as yoghurt starters. Useful tip: If you are using yoghurt starter powder, you can prepare the yoghurt from a mixture of milk and cream. For that, mix ³/ litre milk with ¹/ litre cream.

Mix 100 g yoghurt with 1 litre of milk or make up the mixture with yoghurt enzyme, following the instructions on the packaging.
Pour the mixture into glass jars and seal the jars.
Place the sealed jars in a perforated cooking container and place in the oven. The jars must not touch each other.
Straight after the cooking duration has finished, place the jars in the refrigerator. Take care not to shake the jars unnecessarily.

Possible causes for poor results Yoghurt is not set: Incorrect storage of the yoghurt starter, too much time out of the refrigerator, packaging was damaged, milk was insufficiently heated. Liquid has not been removed: Jars were moved, the yoghurt cooled down too slowly. Yoghurt is grainy: The milk was heated too high, it was not free of imperfections, the milk and yoghurt starter were not stirred evenly.

Automatic programmes

The wide range of Automatic programmes enable you to achieve excellent results with ease.
Categories
The Automatic programmes are sorted into categories to provide a better overview. Simply select the appropriate Automatic programme for the type of food you are cooking and follow the instructions in the display.
Using Automatic programmes
Select Automatic programmes . A list will appear. Select the desired food category. The Automatic programmes available for the food type selected will then appear. Select the Automatic programme that
you want to use. Follow the instructions in the display.
Some Automatic programmes will prompt you to use the food probe. Read the information under "Roasting Food probe". The core temperature cannot be changed for the Automatic programmes. Useful tip: Use Info to display information such as how to place or turn the food depending on the cooking programme.

Usage notes
- After cooking, allow the oven compartment to cool down to room temperature again before starting an Automatic programme.
- The weights specified in the Automatic programmes refer to the weight per piece. For example, you can cook just one piece of salmon weighing 250 g or 10 pieces of salmon, each weighing 250 g, at the same time.
- The degree of cooking and browning are represented by a bar with seven segments. You can set how well you want the food cooked or how brown you want it to be by touching the relevant segment.
- Some roasting programmes also offer the Roast with moisture option. Meat cooked at a low temperature over a long cooking duration will be tender and succulent. The additional moisture helps to achieve the best cooking and browning result: the meat is very succulent and tender. The cut is cooked evenly and has a thin brown outer layer that forms during the roasting programme. There is therefore no need to sear the meat beforehand. In contrast to the Roast option, there is no need to use the food probe in this case and you can set a start or finish time depending on your menu planning.
- Please refer to recipes for information on suitable baking containers.

133

Automatic programmes

- In the Rice category, you can select General in addition to the long-grain and short-grain rice programmes. Use this Automatic programme if you want to prepare long-grain or shortgrain rice varieties that are not available as a specific Automatic programme.
- For some Automatic programmes, the start or end time can be delayed using Start at or Finish at.
- The individual cooking stages of the Automatic programme are listed under the Display cooking stages menu option. The Display actions menu option is also available for some Automatic programmes. You can call up required actions, e.g. placing food in the oven or adding ingredients, via this menu option. During the cooking process, you can view the actions via Info.
- When you place food in the hot oven compartment, be careful when opening the door. Hot steam may escape. Step back and wait until the steam has dissipated. Avoid contact with hot steam, and do not touch the hot oven compartment walls. Danger of burning and scalding.
- If by the end of an Automatic programme the food is not cooked enough, select Continue cooking or Continue baking.
- Automatic programmes can also be saved as User programmes.

Baking

Handling food carefully will help protect your health. Cakes, pizzas and chips should be cooked until golden, not dark brown.
Baking guidelines
- Set a cooking duration. When baking, the oven should not be set to start a long time off. Otherwise the cake mixture or dough will dry out, and the raising agents will lose their effectiveness.
- Generally, you can use the rack, universal tray and any type of baking tray made of heat-resistant material.
- Always place bakeware on the rack. - Always cook frozen goods such as
cakes, pizza or baguettes on the rack.
Very high temperatures can cause the universal tray to distort to such an extent that the tray cannot be taken out of the oven compartment.

Using baking paper Miele accessories, e.g. the universal tray, are treated with PerfectClean enamel (see "Cleaning and care"). Surfaces treated with PerfectClean enamel generally do not need to be greased or covered with baking paper. Use baking paper when cooking: - lye mixtures because anything
prepared using a lye containing sodium hydroxide can damage the PerfectClean surface - mixtures with a high egg white content, such as sponge, meringue and macaroons, as these can easily stick - puff pastry or strudel dough - frozen food on the rack - small items of frozen food such as oven chips or potato croquettes on the universal tray

- Small items of frozen food such as oven chips or potato croquettes can be cooked on the universal tray. Turn these frozen food items several times during cooking.
- Bake on a maximum of 2 levels at once. When baking cakes with a moist topping, only bake on one level.

140

Baking

Tips on baking
- Dark, matt tins are best for baking. Avoid using bright, thin-walled tins as they give an uneven or poor browning result. In certain unfavourable conditions, the food will not cook properly.
- Place cakes in rectangular tins on the rack with the longer side across the width of the oven for optimum heat distribution and even results.
- When cooking frozen food such as chips, croquettes, cakes, pizza and baguettes, select the medium temperature quoted on the manufacturer's packaging.
- If a range is specified for the cooking duration, check whether the food is cooked after the shortest duration. Stick a wooden skewer into the food. If it comes out clean without any batter/dough on it, the food is done.

Notes on the oven functions
You can find an overview of all the functions with their recommended values in "Main and sub-menus".
Combi mode This function uses a combination of oven heat and moisture. The addition of steam prevents the surface of the food from drying out. Bread, bread rolls and puff pastry have a shiny and crispy crust. You can choose between different types of heating: - Combi Fan Plus - Combi Conventional - Combi Grill We recommend baking bread and bread rolls in several cooking stages: the shine is created during the first cooking stage thanks to the injection of steam (maximum moisture, low temperature). Browning takes place in the next cooking stage with high moisture and a high temperature. It is then dried with reduced moisture and a medium to high temperature. Useful tip: Recipes and comprehensive cooking charts with information on functions, temperatures, moisture and cooking durations can be found in the Miele cookbook/recipe booklet "Bake, roast, steam".

141

Baking

Automatic programmes Follow the instructions in the display.
Fan Plus Use this function if you are baking on multiple shelf levels at the same time. You can use any type of baking tray made of heat-resistant material. Because the fan distributes the heat around the oven compartment straight away, you can use a lower temperature than you would with the Conventional Heat function.
Conventional Heat Use this function for cooking traditional recipes. If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven temperature 10 °C lower than that recommended. This will not change the cooking duration. Only bake on one level. If you are making a tray bake, use shelf level 2.
Intensive Bake This function is suitable for baking cakes with moist toppings, pizza, quiche, etc. Place the food on shelf level 1.

Bottom Heat Use this function towards the end of cooking to brown the base of the food.
Top Heat Use this function towards the end of cooking to brown the top of food. This function is suitable for gratins and for browning bakes.
Cake Plus Use this function for baking creamed and frozen lye mixtures.
Eco Fan Heat Use this function for cooking small amounts of food, e.g. frozen pizzas or biscuits, while saving energy.

142

Roasting

Roasting tips
- Never roast frozen meat as it will dry out. Always defrost meat before roasting.
- Remove skin and sinew before roasting.
- Marinate and season the meat to taste.
- If you are roasting several pieces of meat together, select pieces that have a similar thickness.
- Use the universal tray with the rack placed on top of it. The oven compartment stays cleaner and you can then use the meat juices collected to make a gravy or sauce.
- Allow a standing time of approx. 10 minutes before carving meat. This resting time ensures the meat juices are distributed evenly.

Notes on the oven functions
You can find an overview of all the functions with their recommended values in "Main and sub-menus".
Combi mode This function uses a combination of oven heat and moisture. The addition of steam prevents the surface of the food from drying out. The results are particularly tender and succulent meat with a well-browned outside. Use the Combi mode function for cooking meat, fish and poultry dishes. You can choose between different types of heating: - Combi Fan Plus - Combi Conventional - Combi Grill We recommend cooking meat slowly and gently in several cooking stages: at a high temperature during the first cooking stage to brown the surface. The second cooking stage requires increased moisture and a reduced temperature. The meat cooks evenly and the muscle protein is macerated, making the meat particularly tender. Useful tip: Recipes and comprehensive cooking charts with information on functions, temperatures, moisture and cooking durations can be found in the Miele cookbook/recipe booklet "Bake, roast, steam".

143

Roasting
Automatic programmes Follow the instructions in the display. Fan Plus This function is suitable for roasting meat and poultry that needs to be well browned. Because the fan distributes the heat around the oven compartment straight away, you can use a lower temperature than you would with the Conventional Heat function. Conventional Heat Use this function for cooking traditional recipes. If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven temperature 10 °C lower than that recommended. This will not change the cooking duration. Use the Bottom Heat function towards the end of the cooking duration to brown the base of the food. Do not use the Intensive Bake function for roasting as the juices will become too dark.

Food probe

It will only resume when the door is closed. It will take a few seconds before the current core temperature appears again in the display.

The food probe enables you to monitor the temperature precisely during a cooking programme.
How it works The metal tip of the food probe must be inserted into the centre of the food all the way to the handle. There is a temperature sensor in the metal tip which measures the core temperature of the food during cooking. The core temperature set will depend on how well cooked you want your meat to be and on the type of meat. The temperature can be set between 30 and 99 °C. The cooking duration will depend on a number of different factors: the higher the temperature in the oven compartment and the moisture, where applicable, and the thinner the food, the quicker the set core temperature will be reached. The core temperature values are sent via a signal from the transmitter in the handle of the food probe via the antenna to the steam combination oven's electronic unit as soon as the food with the food probe is placed in the oven compartment. Accurate radio transmission is only guaranteed if the oven door is closed. If the door is opened during a cooking programme, e.g. to baste the food, radio signal transmission is interrupted.

The temperature sensor will be damaged at temperatures over 100 °C.s However, there is no danger of damage occurring if it is inserted into food as the maximum core temperature that can be set is 99 °C. If you are not using the food probe, do not leave it in the oven compartment during cooking. Always put it back into the storage sleeve.
Options for use Some Automatic programmes and Special applications will prompt you to use the food probe. You can also use the food probe with User programmes and with the following functions: - Fan Plus - Conventional Heat - Combi Fan Plus - Combi Conventional - Steam cooking - Intensive Bake - Fan Grill - Cake Plus

145

Roasting

Important notes on use To ensure the food probe works correctly, please observe the following instructions.
The metal tip of the food probe can break. Do not use the wireless food probe to lift or carry the food.
- Do not use deep, narrow, metal cooking containers, as these will weaken the radio signal.
- For wireless food probes, avoid placing metal objects above them, such as a lid, aluminium foil or the rack or the universal tray on the shelf levels above. Glass lids may be used.
- Do not use another standard metal cooking thermometer at the same time.
- Do not allow the handle of the food probe to sit in any sauce or cooking liquid, or to rest on the food or on the edge of the cooking container.
- You can place the meat in a pot or on the rack.
- The metal tip of the food probe must be fully inserted into the centre of the food so that the temperature sensor reaches more or less to the core. The handle should point diagonally upwards and not horizontally towards the corners of the oven or the door.
- When cooking poultry, insert the metal tip into the thickest part of the breast. You can find the thickest part of the breast by pressing the area with your thumb and index finger.

- The metal tip must not touch any bone or be inserted in areas with a lot of fat. Heavily marbled areas and bones can cause cooking to end prematurely.
- If the meat is very heavily marbled with fat, select the highest core temperature given in the cooking charts.
- When using aluminium foil or roasting bags, insert the food probe through the foil/bag into the centre of the food. You can also place meat inside the bag or foil with the food probe already inserted. Follow the roasting bag manufacturer's instructions.
- The food probe can only be inserted horizontally into flat food, e.g. fish. Therefore place flat food in a glass or ceramic cooking container, as the walls of a metal container would interfere with the radio signals.
If the food probe is no longer recognised during cooking, a message will appear in the display. Reposition the food probe in the food.

146

Roasting

Using the food probe Remove the food probe from its
storage sleeve behind the control panel. Fully insert the metal tip of the food probe into the centre of the meat. If you are cooking several pieces of meat at the same time, insert the food probe into the largest piece of meat. The handle should be pointing diagonally upwards. Place the food in the oven. Close the door. Select an oven function or Automatic programme. Set the temperature and the core temperature if necessary.

Delaying the start of a cooking programme with food probe You can also delay the start of the cooking programme to a later time. Select Start at. You can estimate approximately when the food will be ready as the duration of the cooking programme is about the same as if you were cooking food without using the food probe. You cannot set Duration and Finish at because the total cooking duration is determined by when the set core temperature is reached.

Core temperatures cannot be changed for the Automatic programmes. Follow the instructions in the display. The cooking programme finishes as soon as the core temperature is reached.

Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces. The handle of the food probe can get hot. You can burn yourself on the handle. Wear oven gloves when removing the food probe.

Useful tip: If the food is not cooked sufficiently when the core temperature is reached, insert the food probe into another place or increase the core temperature and repeat the programme.

Grilling

Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces. If you open the appliance door during grilling, the controls will get very hot. Keep the door closed during the grilling programme.
Grilling tips
- Always pre-heat for at least 5 minutes before grilling.
- Use the universal tray with the rack placed on top of it. Exception: If you are grilling on shelf level 3, insert the universal tray one level down from the rack.
- When grilling fish, place the fish on a piece of baking paper cut to size.
- Grill thick food, e.g. half a chicken, on shelf level 2 and thin food, e.g. steaks, on shelf level 3.
- Turn the food ²/ of the way through the cooking duration. Exception: It is not necessary to turn food when using Fan Grill or grilling fish.

Tips for grilling
- Marinate lean meat or brush it with oil. Do not use other types of fat as they can burn and cause smoke.
- Pierce sausages before grilling. - It is best to grill food of a similar
thickness at the same time so that the grilling time for each item does not vary too greatly. - To test the food, press down on the meat with a spoon. This lets you determine how well the meat has been cooked. Rare
If the meat gives easily to the pressure of the spoon, it will still be red on the inside. Medium If there is some resistance, the inside will be pink. Well-done If there is great resistance, it is cooked through. - To grill thicker pieces of food more gradually after an initial high temperature, continue grilling at a lower temperature setting or use a lower shelf level to allow the food to cook through to the centre.

Cleaning and care
Notes on cleaning and care
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces. The steam combination oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven compartment, shelf runners or accessories. Allow the heating elements, oven compartment, shelf runners and the accessories to cool down before manual cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock. The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the steam combination oven.
All surfaces could be discoloured or damaged if unsuitable cleaning agents are used. The front of the steam combination oven is particularly susceptible to damage from oven cleaners or descaling agents. All surfaces of this appliance are susceptible to scratching. Scratches on glass surfaces could cause a breakage in certain circumstances. Remove any residual cleaning agent immediately.

Stubborn soiling could damage the steam combination oven in certain circumstances. Once the oven has cooled, clean the oven compartment, the inside of the door and the door seal. Waiting too long can make cleaning unnecessarily difficult and in some cases impossible.
Do not use commercial cleaning agents. Only use cleaning 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.
The steam combination oven and accessories should be cleaned and dried thoroughly after each use.
Leave the appliance door open until the oven interior is completely dry. If you use mostly steam cooking programmes and do not use the HydroClean maintenance programme, you should carry out a cooking process at least once a year at a temperature of 225 °C to remove any moisture from inaccessible areas of the steam combination oven.
If the steam combination oven is not going to be used for a longer period of time, it should be thoroughly cleaned and dried beforehand to prevent the build-up of odours and so on. Leave the door open afterwards.

152

Cleaning and care

Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not use: - cleaning agents containing soda,
alkalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides - cleaning agents containing descaling
agents - abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder
cleaners and cream cleaners - solvent-based cleaning agents - dishwasher cleaners - glass cleaning agents - cleaning agents for ceramic cooktops - hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents - dirt eraser sponges - sharp metal scrapers - steel wool - stainless steel spiral pads - spot cleaning with mechanical cleaning agents - oven cleaners and sprays

Cleaning the front
Clean the appliance front with a clean, soft sponge and a solution of warm water and washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.
Useful tip: A clean, damp microfibre cloth without cleaning agent can also be used.

153

Cleaning and care

PerfectClean
The surfaces of the universal tray, the combi rack and the FlexiClip telescopic runners HFC 71 have been treated with PerfectClean. This finish has an iridescent appearance. PerfectClean surfaces have very good non-stick properties and are easy to clean. However, it is important to clean the surfaces each time the oven is used. The non-stick properties will deteriorate if soiling is not removed from PerfectClean surfaces after each use. If used frequently without being cleaned, cleaning may become very difficult. Spilt fruit juices may cause discolouration to the surfaces that cannot be removed. However, this does not affect the properties of the PerfectClean finish.
Always remove all cleaning agent residues to protect the non-stick properties.

To protect the non-stick effect of PerfectClean surfaces, please avoid: - abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder
cleaners and cream cleaners - cleaning agents for ceramic cooktops - ceramic glass and stainless steel
cleaners - steel wool or metal scourers - abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or
sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents - oven sprays - spot cleaning with mechanical cleaning agents
Do not clean PerfectClean accessories in the dishwasher.

154

Cleaning and care

Oven compartment
It is normal for the oven compartment to take on a yellowish discolouration after extensive use. This will not affect functionality in any way.
Ensure that no cleaning agent gets into the openings on the oven compartment rear panel.
To make cleaning the oven compartment easier, you can remove the oven door, dismantle the shelf runners and lower the top heat/grill element. Cleaning after a programme using steam Remove: - condensate using a sponge or
absorbent cloth, - light, greasy soiling with a sponge and
a solution of washing-up liquid and hot water. After cleaning, wipe the surface with clean water to remove any cleaning agent residues. Then dry the oven compartment and the inside of the door with a cloth. Useful tip: You can then dry the oven compartment automatically using the Drying maintenance programme (see "Maintenance").

Cleaning after a roasting, grilling or baking programme
Clean the oven compartment thoroughly after roasting, grilling and baking as otherwise soiling can burn on and become impossible to remove.
Clean the oven compartment and inside of the door with a clean washing-up sponge, hot water and a little washing-up liquid. You can use the hard surface of a washing-up sponge to clean the oven compartment if necessary.
After cleaning, wipe the surface with clean water to remove any cleaning agent residues.
Then dry the oven compartment and the inside of the door with a cloth.
Useful tip: Soaking the soiling for a few minutes with a solution of washing-up liquid and hot water can make cleaning easier. Alternatively, run the Maintenance | Soak programme (see "Cleaning and care - Maintenance").

155

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the floor filter The filter in the floor of the oven
should be cleaned and dried after every use. Vinegar can be used to remove discolouration and limescale deposits from the filter in the floor of the oven. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterwards.
Cleaning the door seal
The door seal may become brittle and tear on account of contact with grease residues. Clean the door seal after every roasting, grilling or baking programme.
Clean the door seal using a clean, damp microfibre cloth without any cleaning agent. You can also use a clean sponge and warm water with a little washing-up liquid.
After cleaning, dry the seal with a soft cloth.
Check whether the door seal is correctly installed. If necessary, press it in all the way round the door to make sure it is smooth and even.
If the door seal shows signs of damage, e.g. cracks, the seal will need to be replaced. Call Miele. Do not carry out cooking programmes using steam or cleaning with the HydroClean maintenance programme.

Cleaning the water container
The water container is suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher. Remove the water container after
each use. To do this, push it upwards slightly as you take it out of the appliance. Empty the water container.
Water can drip into the container compartment when the water container is removed. Dry the compartment if necessary. Rinse the water container by hand or
in the dishwasher. Dry the water container with a soft
cloth to prevent limescale.

156

Cleaning and care

Maintenance
The Finish at and Start at functions are not available in maintenance programmes.
Soaking Stubborn soiling can be soaked using this maintenance programme. Let the oven compartment cool down. Take all accessories out of the oven
compartment. Remove coarse soiling with a cloth. Select Maintenance | Soak. The soaking process takes approx. 10 minutes.
Drying This maintenance programme can be used to dry any residual moisture in the oven compartment, including in inaccessible areas. Dry the oven compartment with a soft
cloth first. Select Maintenance | Drying. The drying process takes approx. 20 minutes.
Rinsing The water-carrying system is rinsed out during this maintenance programme. Any remaining food deposits are rinsed away. Select Maintenance | Rinse. Follow the instructions in the display. The rinsing process takes approx. 10 minutes.

Descaling We recommend using Miele descaling tablets (see "Optional accessories") to descale the appliance. These have been specially developed for use with Miele appliances to optimise the descaling process. Other descaling agents, which contain other acids besides citric acid and/or other undesirable substances, such as chlorides, could cause damage to the product. Moreover, the descaling result required could not be guaranteed if the descaling solution was not of the appropriate concentration.
Do not spill descaling agent onto metal surfaces. This can cause marks to appear. However, should any descaling agent get onto these surfaces, wipe it away immediately.
The steam combination oven has to be descaled after a certain number of operating hours. When the time comes to descale it, the number of uses remaining lights up in the display. Only cooking processes that use steam are counted. The steam combination oven will lock after the last remaining cooking process. We recommend descaling the steam combination oven before it is disabled. Descaling takes approx. 41 minutes. The water container must be emptied and rinsed out during the descaling process.

160

Cleaning and care

Starting the descaling process Take all accessories out of the oven
compartment. Select Maintenance | Descale. The message Please wait will appear in the display. The descaling process is being prepared. This may take several minutes. As soon as the appliance is ready, you will be prompted to add descaling agent to the water container. Fill the water container with lukewarm
fresh tap water up to the level marker and drop 2 Miele descaling tablets in it. Wait until the descaling tablets have dissolved. Push the water container into the appliance. Confirm with OK. The time remaining will appear in the display. The descaling process will now begin.

Finishing the descaling process Select Close. Remove the water container and
empty it. Clean and dry the water container. Open the door and let the oven

Cleaning and care

Cleaning process sequence HydroClean proceeds in several phases: 1. Preparation 2. Cleaning phase 3. Rinsing phase 4. Subsequent manual cleaning 5. Drying phase The steam combination oven will guide you through the entire cleaning process. As preparation, for example, you will be prompted to remove accessories from the oven compartment and to pour the cleaner through the floor filter. When all preparations are finished, the cleaning phase will start. The door will lock automatically. The cleaner is mixed with fresh water and sprayed throughout the entire oven compartment by the distribution fan on the oven ceiling. This procedure is repeated several times. The rinsing phase begins when the time remaining is 1:20 hours. Soiling and cleaning agent residues are flushed out of the oven compartment. The last phase is the drying phase. It begins with a remaining time of approx. 30 minutes. In order to remove coarse soiling residues, the oven compartment needs to be wiped out with a soft cloth before the start of the drying phase.

If you switch off the steam combination oven, the cleaning process will be cancelled. After switching the steam combination oven back on again, the rinsing and drying phases are carried out automatically to remove any potential cleaning agent residues. Normal operation is only possible again upon completion (see "Problem solving guide - Messages in the display").
Preparing and starting the cleaning process Select Maintenance . Select HydroClean. Select the cleaning level based on the
degree of soiling. Confirm with OK. The message Please wait will appear. Cleaning will be prepared. This may take several minutes. As soon as preparation has finished, you will be prompted to remove the accessories and the shelf runners. Take all accessories out of the oven
compartment. Remove the shelf runners together
with the FlexiClip telescopic runners (if present) (see "Cleaning the shelf runners"). Confirm with OK. Lower the top heat/grill element (see "Lowering the top heat/grill element"). Remove any coarse soiling from the oven compartment and from underneath the floor filter. Ensure that soiling does not get into the drainage system.

163

Cleaning and care

Confirm with OK. Check that the filter in the floor of the
oven compartment is correctly fitted. Pour the entire contents of one bottle
of HydroCleaner into the floor filter. Ensure that the cleaning agent does not come into contact with the door glass or door seal. Confirm with OK. Close the door. The cleaning process starts. The time remaining appears in the display. The door will lock automatically a few seconds after the process starts. Useful tip: The approximate time for the next tasks, e.g. wiping out the oven compartment with a damp cloth, can be viewed via Info. Before the start of the drying phase, the door is unlocked and you will be prompted to wipe out the oven compartment and the inside of the door with a damp cloth. Wipe out the oven compartment (and also underneath the floor filter) and the inside of the door thoroughly with a clean, damp microfibre cloth or sponge. Confirm with OK. To ensure optimal functioning of the steam combination oven, check the drip channel and remove any water if present.

Damage due to leaking water.
Leaking water can damage the cabinetry and flooring. If there are any drops of water in the drip channel, check whether the door seal is correctly fitted. If necessary, press it in all the way round the door to make sure it is smooth and even. In some circumstances water can collect up to the very top of the drip channel:
If this happens, contact Miele. Raise the top heat/grill element (see
"Lowering the top heat/grill element"). Fit the shelf runners (see "Cleaning the shelf runners"). Place the accessories in the oven. Confirm with OK. Close the door. Once the remaining time has counted down, Finished appears in the display and a tone sounds.

164

Completing the cleaning process Select Close. Switch the steam combination oven
off.
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces. The steam combination oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heating elements, the oven compartment, or accessories. Allow the heating elements, oven compartment and accessories to cool down before removing any residue and limescale.
Once the oven compartment has cooled down, remove any residue from the inside of the door, the drip channel and the door seal with a clean, damp microfibre or absorbent cloth.
Useful tip: You can remove any discolourations and limescale residues in the oven compartment with a diluted vinegar solution or with the DGClean (see "Optional accessories"). Wipe with clean water afterwards. Then dry the oven compartment and
the inside of the door with a cloth. Leave the appliance door open until
the oven interior is completely dry.
