Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
Damage to the combination steam oven can compromise your safety. Check the combination steam oven for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged combination steam oven.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or an equivalent standard. The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.
The electrical safety of this combination steam oven can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this basic safety requirement is fulfilled. 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 combination steam oven must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid the risk of damage to the oven. Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance. Do not use these to connect the combination steam oven to the domestic electrical supply.
For safety reasons, the combination steam oven may only be used when it has been fully installed.
This combination steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (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 combination steam oven will endanger your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions. Do not open the housing of the combination steam oven under any circumstances.
While the combination steam oven is under warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the Miele Customer Service Department. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
If the plug is removed from the mains connection cable or if the mains connection cable is supplied without a plug, the combination steam 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 (see “Electrical connection” in the “Installation” chapter).
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the combination steam oven must be completely disconnected from the mains electricity supply. To ensure this, do one of the following:
– Disconnect the mains fuse
– Completely unscrew the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is applicable)
– Pull out the plug (if one is present) at the wall socket. To do this, pull the plug and not the mains connection cable.
If the combination steam oven is built in behind a furniture front (e.g. a door), do not close the furniture door while the oven is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the furniture front when closed. This can result in damage to the combination steam oven, the housing unit and the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the combination steam oven has cooled down completely.
The water connection should only be established by a qualified specialist. Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.
The combination steam oven may only be connected up to a coldwater connection.
The stopcock for the water inlet must be easily accessible after the combination steam oven has been installed.
Before connection, check the inlet and drain hoses for visible signs of damage.
The integrated waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided that the following conditions are met:
– The combination steam oven is properly installed (electric and water connections).
– The combination steam oven is repaired if any damage is identified.
– The stopcock is turned off when the appliance is not in use for an extended period (e.g. during holidays).
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 combination steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the steam, heater elements, oven compartment, accessories or food. Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or removing it and when working in the hot oven compartment.
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 into the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill.
Heating up food in closed containers, such as tins or sealed jars, will result in an increase in pressure, which can cause them to explode. Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food in the oven.
Plastic dishes that are not suitable for use in an oven will melt and may ignite at high temperatures, and can damage the combination steam oven. Use only plastic containers that are suitable for use in an oven. Follow the instructions from the crockery manufacturer. 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 left in the oven compartment can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the combination steam oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
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 the door when open, or place heavy items on it. Make sure that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment. This could damage the combination steam oven.
Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the combination steam oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats. Never attempt to put out oil or fat fires with water. Switch the combination steam oven off and extinguish the flames by leaving the door closed.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the combination steam oven could catch fire. Do not use the combination steam 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 types of food dry out quickly and can self-ignite if high grill temperatures are used. Never use the grill to finish baking part-cooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Use Fan plus or Conventional heat for this type of procedure.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the combination steam oven door if there is smoke inside the oven compartment. Interrupt operation by switching the combination steam oven off and disconnecting it from the electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire on hot heating elements.
Never 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.
When using a electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender, near the combination steam oven, ensure that the mains connection cable of the appliance cannot get trapped in the combination steam oven door. This could damage the insulation on the cable.
The steam could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. This could also destroy the electrical components. Do not use the combination steam oven if it does not have a lamp cover.

Cleaning and care

Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to clean the door glass.
The side runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care – Cleaning the side runners”).
Refit the side 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 to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet.

Accessories

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liability.
Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your combination steam 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 using the grill functions (exception: Fan Grill ). Do not store the food probe in the oven if it is not in use.

Caring for the environment

Disposing of the packaging material
The packaging material is used for handling and protects the appliance from transport damage. The packaging material used is selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials. Use material-specific collection points for valuable materials and take advantage of return options. Your Miele dealer will take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with household waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or with Miele, free of charge. By law, you are solely responsible for deleting any personal data from the old appliance prior to disposal. You are legally obliged to remove any old batteries which are not securely enclosed by the appliance and to remove any lamps without destroying them, where this is possible. These must be taken to a suitable collection point where they can be handed in free of charge. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored for disposal.

Description of functions

Control panel
The water container and food probe are located behind the control panel. The control panel is opened and closed by pressing the sensor control. It is fitted with anti-trapping protection. If the control panel senses resistance when opening/closing, the process is cancelled. 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 have a pre-set 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 “Recommended temperatures” in the “Settings” chapter).
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 also 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. When the moisture setting = 0 %, the maximum fresh air supply is implemented and no moisture is supplied. When 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 also controls the amount of moisture needed. If the required amount of moisture is low, the steam generator may not be activated at all.
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 combination steam 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 combination steam oven is in use, you will hear a fan noise.
Heating-up phase
In all functions, the display shows the temperature in the oven compartment as it rises during the heating-up phase (exceptions: Full grill , Economy grill ).
When cooking with steam, the duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the food. In general, the heating-up phase will last for approx. 7 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are cooking refrigerated or frozen food. The heatingup phase may also last longer if cooking temperatures are low or if you are using the Sous-vide cooking 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.
Steam reduction
With steam cooking and combination cooking, the steam reduction function will switch on automatically at the end of a cooking programme which uses a temperature within a certain temperature range. The function stops excessive steam escaping when the door is opened. Steam reduction will appear in the display.
Steam reduction can be switched off (see “Steam reduction” in the “Settings” chapter). With steam reduction switched off, a lot of steam will escape when the door is opened.
Oven interior lighting
For energy-saving reasons, the combination steam oven interior lighting has been set at the factory to go out once a programme has begun.
If you want it to stay on all the time the oven is on, you will need to alter the default setting (see “Settings” – “Lighting”). If the door is left open at the end of a cooking process, the oven interior lighting will switch off automatically after 5 minutes.
The lighting can be switched on for 15 seconds by touching the sensor control on the control panel.

Before using for the first time

Miele@home
Your combination steam oven is equipped with an integrated WiFi module.

PerfectClean and must only be washed by hand.
See “PerfectClean” in “Cleaning and care”.
Clean the universal tray and the combi rack with a clean absorbent cloth and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid.
The interior of the combination steam oven has been treated at the factory with a care product.
To remove this, clean the oven compartment with a clean absorbent cloth and a mild solution of washingup liquid and hot water.

Setting the correct boiling point for water
Before cooking food for the first time, you must adjust the combination steam oven to the boiling temperature of the water, which varies depending on the altitude of where the combination steam oven is located. This process also flushes out the components of the appliance that carry water.
This procedure must be carried out to ensure trouble-free functioning of your appliance.
Then run the combination steam oven for 15 minutes using the Steam cooking operating mode (100 °C). Proceed as described in “Operation”.
Setting the correct boiling point for water following a house move
If you move house, the boiling point for the water in the combination steam oven will need to be reset for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by 300 m or more. To do this, descale the appliance (“Cleaning and care” – “Care”).
Pre-heating the combination steam oven

Take all accessories out of the oven compartment if applicable.
To remove the grease from the ring heating element, heat the combination steam oven up at 200 °C using the Fan plus operating mode for 30 minutes.

Proceed as described in “Operation”.
****Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. The combination steam oven gets hot during operation.
You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment or side runners.
Use oven gloves when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven compartment.
The heater element will give off a slight smell when it is heated for the first time. The smell and any vapours given off will dissipate after a while and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated during operation.

Energy saving tips

Cooking programmes

If possible, use the automatic programmes for cooking food.
Remove all accessories from the oven compartment that are not required for cooking.
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.
Preheat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.
If possible, do not open the door during a cooking programme.
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 and therefore can give a more uneven result. Do not cover the oven floor or the rack with heat-reflecting aluminium foil.
Monitor cooking durations to avoidwasting energy when cooking. Set the cooking duration, or use a food probe if you have one.
The Fan plus operating mode 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 multiple shelf levels at the same time.
Fan grill is the best operating mode for grilled dishes. With this operating mode, you can use lower temperatures than in other grill operating modes which use the maximum temperature setting.
The Eco Fan heat operating mode ensures energy-efficient cooking thanks to optimal utilisation of heat.
Use this operating mode for cooking small amounts of food, e.g. frozen pizzas or biscuits. Do not open the door during the cooking process.
You can use the Eco Steam cooking operating mode to save energy during steam cooking. This operating mode is particularly suitable for cooking fish and vegetables.
Whenever possible you should cook multiple foods at the same time. Place them next to each other in the oven or on different shelf levels.
Foods which you are unable to cook 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 control.

Energy-saving mode
The combination steam oven will switch itself off automatically to save energy if a cooking process is not being run and controls have not been operated. The time of day will appear on the display or the display will remain dark (see “Settings”).

Operation

Malfunction due to missing floor filter.
If the floor filter is missing, food deposits can get into the drain. The water cannot be pumped away.
Before each cooking programme, check that the filter in the floor of the oven compartment is correctly fitted.

Switch the combination steam oven on.
The main menu will appear.
Place the food in the oven compartment.
Select Oven functions .
Select the relevant operating mode.

The operating mode and recommended values for temperature and moisture (if applicable) appear.

Change the recommended values if necessary.

The recommended values will be automatically accepted within a few seconds. You can change the temperature and moisture level later by selecting the temperature or moisture indicator.

Confirm with OK.

The required and the actual temperature will appear and the heating-up phase will begin.
You will see the temperature increasing.
A buzzer will sound when the set temperature is reached for the first time.

After the cooking process, select Finish.
****Risk of injury caused by hot steam.
When using a cooking process involving steam, a lot of hot steam can escape if the door is opened.
The steam can cause burns.
Step back and wait until the hot steam has dissipated.

When using a cooking process involving steam, a lot of hot steam can escape if the door is opened.
The steam can cause burns.
Step back and wait until the hot steam has dissipated.

****Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and food.
The combination steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment, side runners, accessories or food.
Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven compartment.
When placing cooking containers into the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill out.
The cooking process will resume when the door is closed.
The combination steam oven will heat up again and the display will show the emperature in the oven compartment as it rises.
When cooking with steam as well as for programmes and applications with pure steam operation, the time left only continues to elapse once the set temperature has been reached.
In programmes using 100 % moisture and temperatures up to 100 °C: the cooking process will finish early if the door is opened in the last minute of cooking (55 seconds remaining).

Pre-heating the oven compartment
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 compartment in a few instances.

Pre-heat the oven compartment when cooking the following food:
Cakes and pastries with a short cooking duration (approx. 30 minutes or less) as well as 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 to the set temperature. The top heat/grill element and the ring heater element come on together with the 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 the Booster on and 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.

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 containers
Stainless steel cookware is provided with the combination steam oven. 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 dish 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 oven.
Thick-sided containers such as porcelain, ceramic or stoneware are not very suitable for using with steam.
Due to their thick sides, they do not conduct heat well, meaning 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 side runners out to make more room (see “Cleaning the side runners” in the “Cleaning and care” chapter).
Ensure that there is a gap between the upper rim of the container and the top of the oven compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container.

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 using more than one deep container at the same time for steam cooking it is best to offset them on their runners and to leave at least one level free in between them.
Always insert cooking containers, the rack and the tray between the rails of the side runners so that they cannot tip.

Frozen food
The heating up phase for frozen food is longer than for fresh food. The greater the quantity of frozen food, the longer the heating up phase.
Temperature
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.
Cooking 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.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking container ²/₃ full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes –steam cooking
Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan can also be cooked in the combination steam oven. The cooking durations in the combination steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be brown or crisp when cooking with steam.

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 slide in above them. 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.

Steam cooking

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 following the cooking durations and temperatures from the tables specified in “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 .

Settings
Oven functions | Eco Steam cooking

Notes on the cooking tables
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.

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, unless they have been frozen together in a block.
Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together.
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.
Use solid containers for vegetables which are cooked in liquid.

Shelf level
To avoid any colour transfer when cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container, do not place other food underneath the perforated container.
Cooking 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: Waxy potatoes, cut into quarters: approx. 17 minutes Waxy potatoes, cut in half: approx. 20 minutes

Fish
Fresh
Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen food
Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2 – 5 minutes should be enough.
Preparation
Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm.
It is not necessary to season fish with salt when cooking with steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish its unique flavour.
Cooking containers
If using a perforated container, grease it first.
Shelf level
When cooking fish in a perforated container at the same time as cooking other types of food in other containers, place the container with the fish directly above the 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 sole.
100 °C
For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g. cod and salmon.
Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the fish, and not on the weight. The thicker the fish, the longer the cooking duration. A 3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g will take longer to cook than a 2 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g.
The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh will become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart. If you find that the fish is not cooked sufficiently only cook it for a few minutes more.
When cooking fish in sauce or stock, we recommend that you increase the cooking duration quoted by a few minutes.

Tips

Adding herbs and spices, such as dill, will help bring out the full flavour of the fish.
Cook large fish in swimming position.
To help maintain the shape of the fish, place a small cup or similar upside down in the cooking container, and arrange the fish belly-side 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 carp, trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Temperature Duration
Meat
Fresh
Prepare the meat in the usual way.
Frozen food
Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking in the steam oven (see Special applications” – “Defrost”).
Preparation
For meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. for a stew, sear the meat in a pan on the hob first.
Duration
The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the meat, and not on the weight. The thicker the piece of meat, the longer the cooking duration. A piece of meat weighing 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.
Tips
– To retain the flavour, 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 meat from chicken and beef as well as meat bones can be used to make a strong 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.

Cooking duration
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 and so none of the nutrients are lost.
Cooking container
Use a solid cooking container. Alternatively, smaller quantities of rice (up to a cup, approx. 50–150 g) can also 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.
Tip: The required volume of liquid can be determined using scales or the cup method.
For the cup method, fill a cup with the desired quantity of rice and then place the rice in 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.

Temperature Duration
Menu cooking (cooking whole meals) – manually
Before cooking meals with the manual menu cooking function, switch off steam reduction (see “Settings – Steam reduction”).
When cooking a menu, you can combine different foods with different cooking durations, e.g. fish fillet with rice and broccoli.
The food is placed in the steam oven compartment at different times so that each item is 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 universal tray. This avoids any transfer of flavour or colour to other food and prevents 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. sole and plaice will become very firm when cooked at 100 °C.
Duration
If you are increasing the recommended temperature, shorten the cooking duration by approx. ¹/₃.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

With this gentle cooking method, food is cooked slowly and at a low, constant temperature in vacuum packaging.
With vacuum cooking, no moisture evaporates during cooking and all nutrients and flavours are retained.
The cooking result has an intensive taste and food is cooked evenly.
Use only fresh food which is in a good condition.
Ensure hygienic conditions and that food has not been out of the refrigerator too long, e.g. during transportation.
Use only heat-stable, boiling-resistant vacuum sealing bags.
Do not cook food in the sales packaging, such as vacuum-packed frozen food as it is possible that the packaging used is not suitable for vacuum cooking.
Do not use the vacuum sealing bag more than once.
Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber system vacuum sealer only.
Important usage notes
For best cooking results, follow the instructions below:
– Use herbs and spices more sparingly than with conventional cooking 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 ingredients such as lemon or vinegar are added.
– Do not use alcohol or garlic as this can produce unpleasant flavours.
– Only use vacuum sealing bags that match the size of the food. If the vacuum sealing bag is too big, too much air can remain inside.
– If you want to cook several items of food in one vacuum sealing 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 programme. Opening the door will prolong 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.
Tips
– In order to reduce cooking times, you can vacuum-seal food items 1–2 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 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 sealing bag on all sides for easier access to the food.
– Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish (such as salmon) before serving for a roasted aroma.
– Use the stock 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 sealing 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”).

Possible reasons for unsatisfactory results
The bag has opened:
– The seal was not clean or strong enough and has opened.
– The bag was damaged by a sharp bone.
The food has an unpleasant or strange taste:
– Incorrect storage of the food; the food was kept out of the refrigerator for too long.
– The food was contaminated with bacteria before it was vacuum sealed.
– Too much of ingredients such as spices was added.
– The bag or seal was not in perfect order.
– The vacuum was insufficient.
– The food was not eaten or chilled immediately after cooking.
The cooking durations given in the tables are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter duration initially. You can cook for longer if necessary. The cooking duration only begins when the set temperature is reached.

Temperature Duration

Degree of cooking
The “well done” cooking degree uses a higher core temperature than “medium”, but results are not the same as being well-done in the traditional sense.
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.
Food with a short cooking duration or which continues cooking during reheating, such as fish, is not suitable for reheating.
Preparation
Place the cooked food into ice water for approx. 1 hour directly after cooking.
The rapid cooling prevents the food from continuing to cook, which helps retain the optimum cooked condition.
Then store the food in the refrigerator at a maximum temperature of 5 °C. Please note that the quality of the food decreases the longer it is stored.
We recommend that you do not store the food in the refrigerator for longer than 5 days before reheating.

Temperature, Time

Degree of cooking
The “well done” cooking degree uses a higher core temperature than “medium”, but results are not the same as being well-done in the traditional sense.
Durations apply to vacuum-sealed food with an initial temperature of approx. 5 °C (refrigerator temperature).
Reheat only in sauce.

Special applications

Reheat
To reheat food which was cooked us- ing the sous-vide method, use the Sous- vide function (see “Sous-vide – Reheating”).
The combination steam oven is very effective at reheating food gently, without drying it out or cooking it further. The food will reheat evenly and does not need to be stirred during the reheating process.
You can reheat individual dishes or plated meals which have been prepared previously (e.g. meat, vegetables and potatoes).
Suitable containers
Small quantities can be reheated on a plate, larger quantities should be placed in a cooking container.
Time
10–12 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
The more moist the food, the less moisture needs to be added.
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 peppers 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.

These times apply to food heated on a plate.
Defrost
** It is much quicker to defrost food in the combination steam 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.
Exception: 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.
Food which does not drip can be defrosted in a solid container.
Tips
– Fish, for instance, 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 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 pre-cooked meals according to the instructions on the packaging.

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.
Tip: We recommend using the Miele app for the Mix & Match special application. With the Miele app, you can interactively assemble your meal using a wide range of ingredients and then transfer the programme settings to your combination steam oven.
To use this function, you need to connect your combination steam oven to the WiFi network. Find out how to do this in “Before using for the first time” – “Miele@home”. If you choose not to use the Miele app, follow the instructions below and assemble your meal using the cooking charts.
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, flammkuchen, etc. can be placed directly on the rack (with baking parchment if necessary).
The plastic containers for ready meals are not sufficiently heat-resistant.
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 2–2.5 cm. Transfer taller food into flat containers (e.g. stew) 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.
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.

Notes on the cooking charts
As well as information on portion sizes or the way the food needs to be processed prior to cooking, the cooking charts also provide tips on preparation.
The degree of browning is represented in the display by a bar with seven segments. Basically, the more segments that are filled, the longer the cooking duration.
You can use the icons to determine which setting is appropriate to brown the food:

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 oven compartment at different times so that each item is ready at the same time.
You can select items of food in any order, because the combination steam 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 in 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 degree of cooking.

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 into the oven compartment.

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 and prevents liquid dripping onto food below it.

At the end of the heating-up phase, the combination steam 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 if there is a third food item.
You can still cook food types not listed together. Please refer to “Menu cooking – manual” in “Steam cooking” for more information.
Bottling
Only use unblemished, fresh produce which is in good condition for bottling.
Glass jars
Use clean glass jars and accessories and check them for any defects. Glass jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a rubber seal are suitable.
Make sure that all the jars are the same size so that bottling is carried out evenly.
After you have filled the jars with the bottled produce, clean the glass rims with a clean cloth and hot water and then seal the jars.
Fruit
Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but thoroughly and allow it to drain. Take great care when cleaning soft fruit as it is very delicate and squashes easily.
Remove any peel, stalks, cores or stones. Cut up large fruit. For example, cut apples into slices.
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” – “Blanching”).
Fill volume
Fill the glass jars with produce up to a maximum of 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.
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 in level 1.
Place the jars in the perforated container or on the rack. The jars must not touch each other.

Bottling times apply to 1.0 l jars. If using 0.5 l jars, reduce the duration by 15 minutes. If using 0.25 l jars, reduce the duration by 20 minutes.
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.
Jars must have a glass lid with a rubber ring and metal spring clamp to seal them.
Make sure that all the jars are the same size so that the preserving process is carried out evenly.
- Grease the inside of the jars with butter up to 1 cm below the rim.
- Sprinkle fine breadcrumbs inside the jars.
- Fill the jars ¹/₂ to ²/₃ full with mixture (depending on recipe). Make sure the rim stays clean.
- Place the rack in shelf level 2.
- 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.

Extracting juice with steam
This combination steam 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 clean the fruit. 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.
Cut larger fruit such as apples into chunks of approximately 2 cm in size.
The harder the fruit, the smaller the pieces should be.
Tips
– Try experimenting with mild and tart fruit.
– 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 50–100 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, and then seal immediately with sterilised tops.
Extracting juice from fruit
- Put the prepared fruit into a perforated cooking container.
- Place a solid cooking container or the universal tray underneath in order to collect the juice.

Make yoghurt
To make yoghurt, you will need either fresh live yoghurt or yoghurt culture, obtainable from health food shops.
Use natural yoghurt with live culture and without additives. Heat-treated yoghurt is not suitable.
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 whilst the yoghurt is thickening.
Immediately after preparation, leave the yoghurt to cool in the fridge.
How well home-prepared yoghurt sets will depend on the consistency, fat content and the cultures used in the starter yogurt. Not all yoghurts are suitable for use as starter yoghurt.
Tip: When using yoghurt enzyme, yoghurt can be made from a milk / cream mixture. Mix ³/₄ litre milk with ¹/₄ litre cream.

Mix 100 g yoghurt with 1 l milk or make up the mixture with yoghurt enzyme, following the instructions on the packaging.
Pour the mixture into jars and seal the jars.
Place the sealed jars in a perforated container, making sure they do not touch one another.
Immediately after the yoghurt has been made, place the jars in the refrigerator, taking care not to shake them unnecessarily.

Possible reasons for unsatisfactory results
Yoghurt has not set:
Incorrect storage of starter yoghurt, too much time out of the refrigerator, e.g. in transportation, damaged packaging, milk not sufficiently heated.
Liquid has separated:
The jars were moved, yoghurt was not cooled down quickly enough.
Yoghurt is gritty:
Milk was overheated or in poor condition, milk and starter yoghurt not evenly stirred.

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 ten 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. With this option, meat is cooked at a low temperature over a long cooking duration for tender and succulent results. 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. It is therefore not necessary 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 end time to suit your menu planning.
– Please refer to the cookbook for information on suitable bakeware.
– 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.

Baking

Handling food carefully will help protect your health.
Cakes, pizzas and french fries should be cooked until golden, not dark brown.
Baking tips
– 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 speaking, you can use racks, universal trays and any type of baking tray made of heat-resistant material.
– Always place baking tins 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.
– 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 the same time.
Using baking parchment
Miele accessories, e.g. the universal tray, are treated with PerfectClean (see “Cleaning and care”). Surfaces treated with PerfectClean generally do not need to be greased or covered with baking parchment.
 Use baking parchment 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
Tips on baking
– Dark 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.
– Position rectangular tins with the longer side across the width of the oven compartment for optimum heat distribution and even baking 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 functions
You can find an overview of all the functions with their recommended values in “Main and sub-menus”.
Combi mode
This operating mode 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 eating:
– Combi Fan plus
– Combi Conventional
– Combi Grill
We recommend baking bread and bread rolls in several cooking stages: the shine is created during the 1st 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.
Tip:
Recipes and comprehensive cooking charts with information on operating modes, temperatures, moisture and cooking durations can be found in the Miele combination steam oven cookbook.
Automatic programmes
Follow the instructions on the display.
Fan plus
Use this function if you are baking on multiple shelves 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, it allows you to use a lower temperature than you would with the Conventional heat function.
Conventional heat
Use this function for baking traditional recipes. If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven temperature 10 °C lower than the recommended one. This will not change the cooking duration.
Only bake on one level. If you are making a tray bake, use level 3. If you are making a cake in a baking tin, select level 2.
Intensive bake
This function is suitable for baking cakes with moist toppings, pizza, quiche, etc.
Place the food in 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 the food being cooked.
This function is suitable for gratins and for browning bakes.
Cake plus
Use this function for baking batter and frozen lye mixtures.
Eco Fan heat
Use this operating mode for cooking small amounts of food, e.g. frozen pizzas or biscuits, while saving energy.

Roasting

Tips for roasting
– Frozen meat must be defrosted before it is cooked as otherwise it would dry out. Always defrost meat before roasting.
– Remove skin and sinew before roasting.
– Marinate and season the meat to taste.
– If you are cooking several pieces of meat together, use pieces that are similar in size.
– 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 functions
You can find an overview of all the functions with their recommended values in “Main and sub-menus”.
Combi mode
This operating mode 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 operating mode 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 1st cooking stage to brown the surface. The 2nd cooking stage requires increased moisture and a reduced temperature.
The meat cooks evenly and the muscle protein is broken down, making the meat particularly tender.
Tip:
Recipes and comprehensive cooking harts with information on operating modes, temperatures, moisture and cooking durations can be found in the Miele combination steam oven cookbook.
Automatic programmes
Follow the instructions on 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 straightaway, it allows you to use a lower temperature than you would with the Conventional heat function.
Conventional heat
Use this function for baking traditional recipes. If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven temperature 10 °C lower than the recommended one. 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
The food probe allows the temperature to be monitored precisely during a cooking programme.
How it works
The metal tip of the food probe must be fully 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 radio signal from the transmitter in the handle of the food probe via the receiver antenna to the combination steam oven’s electronic module as soon as the food with the food probe is placed in the oven compartment. Efficient radio transmission is only guaranteed if the oven door is closed. If the door is opened during a cooking process, e.g. to baste the food, radio signal transmission is interrupted.
It will only resume when the door is closed. It will take a few seconds before the current core temperature appears again on the display.
** Damage due to high temperatures.
The temperature sensor of the food probe will be damaged at temperatures over 100 °C.
The food probe should be reinserted in its holder when it is not being used.
When to use the food probe
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
Important usage notes
To ensure the probe works correctly, please observe the following instructions. The metal tip of the food probe can break.
Do not use the food probe to lift or carry the food.
– Do not use tall, narrow metal cooking containers as these can weaken the signal.
– For wireless food probes, avoid placing metal objects above them, such as a lid, aluminium foil, the wire rack or the universal tray on the shelf levels above. Glass lids can be used.
– Do not use another proprietary metal food probe at the same time.
– Ensure that the handle of the food probe is not sitting in the cooking liquid, 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. Press the breast with your index finger and thumb to find the thickest part.
– 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 almost horizontally in very flat pieces of food such as fish. Therefore cook flat food in glass or ceramic cooking containers as the walls of a metal cooking container would disrupt the radio signals.
A message will appear in the display if the food probe is no longer recognised during a cooking process.
Change the position of the food probe in the food.
Using the food probe**

Remove the food probe from its holder behind the panel.
Insert the metal tip of the food probe completely into the centre of the food all the way to the handle.

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 compartment.
Close the door.
Select the operating mode or automatic programme.
Set the temperature and the core temperature if necessary.

The core temperatures cannot be changed for the automatic programmes.
Follow the instructions on the display.
The cooking process is brought to an end 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.
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. Delaying the start of a cooking programme with food probe You can set the cooking programme to start at a later time.
Select Start at.
The finish time can be calculated approximately because the duration of a cooking programme is about the same, whether or not the food probe is used.
You cannot set Duration and Finish at because the total cooking duration is determined by when the set core temperature is reached.

Grilling

**Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces.
If you open the appliance door during grilling, the control elements will get very hot.
Keep the door closed during the grilling programme.
Grilling tips
– Pre-heating is not necessary when grilling. Place the food in the cold oven compartment.
– Use the universal tray with the rack placed on top of it. – When grilling fish, place the fish on a piece of baking paper cut to size.
– Grill thick food, e.g. half a chicken, on level 2 or 3 and thin food, e.g. steaks, on level 4.
– Turn the food ²/₃ of the way through the cooking duration. Exception: fish does not need to be turned.
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/pink
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 very little 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.
Notes on the functions
You can find an overview of all the functions with their recommended values in “Main and sub-menus”.
The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures.
Do not use the food probe when using the grill functions.
Do not store the food probe in the oven compartment when it is not being used.
Combi Grill
This function is suitable for grilling food that should be brown on the outside, but not dry, e.g. corn on the cob.
Full grill
Use this function to grill flat thin cuts in large quantities and for browning large baked dishes.
Economy grill
Use this function to grill flat thin cuts in smaller quantities and for browning small baked dishes.
Fan grill**
This function is suitable for grilling thicker food, such as poultry, rolled meat.

Cleaning and care

Important information on cleaning and care
Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces.
The combination steam oven gets hot during operation.
You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment, side runners or accessories.
Allow the heater elements, oven compartment, side runners and the accessories to cool before manual cleaning.
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the combination steam oven.
All surfaces can discolour or alter if unsuitable cleaning agents are used.
The front of the combination steam oven is particularly susceptible to damage from oven cleaners or descaling agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Scratches on glass can in some circumstances lead to breakage.
Remove all cleaning agent residues immediately.
Stubborn soiling could damage the combination steam 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 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 combination steam oven and accessories should be cleaned and dried after each use.
Leave the appliance door open until the oven compartment is completely dry.

If you mainly steam cook and do not use the HydroClean care programme, you should run a cooking process at a temperature above 225 °C at least once a year to remove moisture, including from inaccessible parts of the combination steam oven.
If the combination steam 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, etc. Leave the door open afterwards.

Unsuitable cleaning agents
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not use:
– Cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides
– Cleaning agents containing descaling agents
– Abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. powder cleaners, scouring milk, scouring pads)
– Solvent-based cleaning agents
– Dishwasher cleaning agents
– Glass cleaning agents
– Cleaning agents for ceramic glass hobs
– Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges (e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents)
– Eraser stain remover blocks
– 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.

Tip: A clean, damp microfibre cloth without cleaning agent can also be used.

PerfectClean
The surfaces of the universal tray, the combi rack and the HFC 71 FlexiClip runners have been treated with PerfectClean. This finish has an iridescent appearance.
PerfectClean surfaces have very good anti-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, scouring milk, scouring pads)
– Cleaning agents for ceramic glass hobs
– Ceramic and stainless steel cleaner
– Steel wool
– Abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents
– Oven spray
– Spot cleaning with mechanical cleaning agents
Do not clean PerfectClean accessories in the dishwasher.

Oven compartment
It is normal for the oven compartment to have a yellow tinge after prolonged 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 easy, you can remove the oven door, dismantle the side runners and lower the top heat/grill element.
Cleaning after a programme using steam

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 for example, 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 combination steam oven has to be descaled after a certain operating time.
When the time comes to descale the steam oven, the number of cooking processes remaining lights up on the display. It only counts the number of cooking processes that use steam. The combination steam oven will be disabled after the last remaining cooking process.
We recommend descaling the combination steam oven before it is disabled.
Descaling takes approx. 41 minutes. The water container must be emptied and rinsed out during the descaling process.

Carrying out the descaling process
Select Maintenance Descale.
The message Please wait will appear on the display. The descaling process is being prepared. This may take a few minutes. As soon as the appliance is ready, you will be prompted to add descaling agent to the water container.

HydroClean
Instead of cleaning the oven compartment manually you can run the HydroClean care programme.
Odours after preparing fish as well as heavy, stubborn soiling caused by roasting and grilling, for example, can be removed easily with this programme.
We recommend using HydroClean to clean the combination steam oven four times a year. You can also clean more frequently than this if required.
Only use Miele HydroCleaner when cleaning with HydroClean. This cleaning agent has been specially developed for your combination steam oven.
Other cleaning products may damage your combination steam oven.
1 bottle of Miele HydroCleaner is supplied with your combination steam oven. Additional bottles of HydroCleaner can be purchased from the Miele online shop, the Miele Customer Service Department or your Miele dealer.
** Risk of injury caused by cleaning agent.
HydroCleaner causes skin and severe eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if eye irritation persists. Keep HydroCleaner out of the reach of children.
Always use the entire contents of 1 bottle of HydroCleaner (125 ml), regardless of the degree of soiling.
The cleaning agent quantity of 125 ml is designed for the entire cleaning process and must not be changed.
You can choose between 3 levels of cleaning with different durations:
– Degree of soiling 1 for light, barely visible soiling and odours, e.g. after preparing fish or cabbage.
Duration: approx. 1 hour 57 minutes
– Degree of soiling 2 for visible, but not badly burnt-on soiling, e.g. dripped pizza cheese, spilled fruitcake.
Duration: approx. 3 hours 17 minutes
– Degree of soiling 3 for heavy soiling from various types of food that has been burnt on over a long period of time and after cooking a roast chicken, for example.
Duration: approx. 4 hours 17 minutes
Sequence of a cleaning process**
HydroClean takes place in several phases:

Preparation
Cleaning phase
Wash phase
Subsequent manual cleaning
Drying phase

You will be guided through the entire cleaning process by the combination steam oven. To prepare for the process, you will be prompted, for example, to remove accessories from the oven compartment and to pour the cleaning agent through the floor filter.
The cleaning phase will begin when all preparations have been completed. The door will lock automatically. The cleaning agent is mixed with fresh water and sprayed across the entire oven compartment via the distribution wheel on the ceiling of the oven. This procedure is repeated multiple times.
The wash phase starts when the time left is approx. 1 hour 20 minutes. Any remaining dirt or cleaning agent residues are rinsed from the oven compartment.
The last phase is the drying phase. This begins when the time left is approx. 30 minutes. To remove coarser residual soiling, the oven compartment must be wiped out with a damp cloth before starting the drying phase.
The cleaning process is cancelled if the combination steam oven is switched off. The combination steam oven automatically performs the wash and drying phase once it is switched back on to remove any cleaning agent residues. Normal operation is only possible once this has been completed (see also “What to do if …” –“Messages on the display”).
