Technical safety

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could bedangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electricalappliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved servicetechnician.

Radiation by microwaves:Service or repairs which necessitate the removal of any casing or thedoor must only be carried out by a suitably trained servicetechnician.

A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for anyvisible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damagedappliance.

Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage. If anydamage is noticed, the oven should not be used again in any ovenfunction using microwave power until the fault has been rectified bya service technician.

Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakageand present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:

– the door is warped,

– the front of the oven compartment is dented or bowed,

– the door hinges are loose,

– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door, the door seal orthe oven interior walls.

– there is moisture between the door panes.

Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if ithas been connected to the mains electricity supply.


11

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective earthingsystem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement ispresent and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, thehousehold wiring system should be inspected by a qualifiedelectrician.

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure thatthe connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond inorder to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult aqualified electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guaranteethe required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it hasbeen built in.

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).

Tampering with electrical connections or components andmechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can causeoperational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of theappliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is notsupplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to themains supply by a suitably qualified electrician.


12

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replacedwith a special connection cable type H 05 VV-F (PVC insulated),available from Miele, by a Miele approved service technician orsuitably qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard. See"Electrical connection".

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is onlycompletely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn fromthe socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mainsplug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricitysupply.

If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),ensure that the door is never closed whilst the steam oven is in use.Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel andcause subsequent damage to the steam oven, the housing unit andthe floor. Do not close the door until the steam oven has cooleddown completely.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches orother vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance andits surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused bycockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.


13

Correct use

Danger of burning! The steam oven becomes hot when in use.Exercise care when handling food and trays so as not to burnyourself on the walls of the steam oven, shelf runners, trays, steamand hot food itself. Use oven gloves when placing food in the steamoven, removing it and when adjusting shelves etc. in a hot steamoven.When putting cooking containers into the steam oven or taking themout, take care not to spill the contents.

Danger of burning! There will be some residual hot water in thesteam generator at the end of a cooking process. This will bepumped back into the water container. Take care not to spill thecontents when taking the water container out of the appliance.

Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed tins.Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causingdamage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.

Plastic dishes which are not heat and steam resistant melt at hightemperatures and can damage the appliance.Only use temperature (to 100 °C) and steam resistant plastic dishesfor steam cooking. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Food which is left in the steam oven can dry out and the escapingmoisture can lead to corrosion in the appliance. Do not leave cookedfood in the oven compartment and do not use any cookingcontainers which are susceptible to corrosion as this could lead tocorrosion in the appliance.

Do not leave the appliance door open unnecessarily as someonemay trip over it or be injured by it.

The door can support a maximum load of 8 kg. Do not sit on orlean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door andthe oven compartment. The steam oven could get damaged.


14

When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held mixer, nearthe steam oven, ensure that the connection cable doesn't get caughtin the door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged,giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Microwave function

Please be aware that durations when using microwave power areoften considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrostingthan when using functions without microwave power. Excessivelylong cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or couldeven cause it to catch fire.

The Microwave function can be used for heating food anddrinks. Do not use the Microwave function for drying flowers,herbs, bread, rolls or other flammable materials which could catchfire and cause injury by burning.

Always cover food when using the Microwave function.

It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenlythroughout the food being cooked. This can be achieved by stirringand/or turning the food, and observing a sufficiently long standingtime, which should be added to the time needed for cooking,reheating or defrosting.

When heating food and drinks using microwave power, rememberthat the heat is created in the food itself, and that the container willnormally be cooler. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food.Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time andthen always check the temperature of the food after taking it out ofthe oven. The temperature of the container is not an indication of thetemperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly importantwhen preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly orinfirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating,and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.


15

The Microwave function is not suitable for cleaning ordisinfecting items. Items can get extremely hot and there is a dangerof burning when the item is removed from the appliance.

Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars orbottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed.Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle orcontainer to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.

When boiling and in particular when reheating liquids, milk,sauces etc., using microwave power without a boiling rod, theboiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production oftypical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build up of bubbles whenthe container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead tothe liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of scaldingand burning! The formation of bubbles can be so strong that thepressure forces the oven door open, with a danger of injury anddamage.Before cooking or reheating, thoroughly stir the liquid. Then wait atleast 20 seconds before removing the container from the oven.During cooking and reheating you can also place a glass rod orsimilar in the container and use as a boiling rod, if available.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave poweronly if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,even after taking them out of the oven.They can only be cooked in their shells using the Steam cooking function or in an appropriate Automatic programme. Hard-boiledeggs must not be reheated with microwave power either as they toowill explode, even after taking them out of the oven.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacketpotatoes and eggplants, should be pierced or cut in several placesto allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.


16

Do not use the Microwave function to heat up cushions orpads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such asthose used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heatedeven after they have been removed from the oven.

To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smokeoccurs in the oven interior. Cancel the cooking process by switchingthe appliance off, then switch off at the socket and remove the plug.Do not open the appliance door until the smoke has dispersed.

Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use withmicrowave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollowrecesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. Ifthe hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used.However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in theoven.

Fire hazard! Using microwave power with plastic dishes which arenot microwave safe can cause them to melt and damage theappliance. Do not use any containers or cutlery made from orcontaining metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware,temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metalclips or plastic or paper covered wire ties. Do not use bowls withmilled rims, or plastic pots with the foil lid only partially removed (see"Suitable containers for microwave use").

Do not leave the steam oven unattended when reheating orcooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper orother inflammable materials using the Microwave function.Before using single-use containers, make sure they are suitable formicrowave use (see "Suitable containers for microwave use -Plastics").

Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which areintended for use in normal ovens.These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminiumfoil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn,cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.


17

The steam oven can suffer damage when using theMicrowave function if it is empty or incorrectly loaded. For thisreason please do not use the Microwave function to pre-heatcrockery or to dry herbs and do not start the Microwave functionwhen the steam oven is empty.


18

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this steam oven.Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and causea short circuit.

Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking.Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metaltools to clean the door glass.

The shelf runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see"Cleaning and care - Accessories").Ensure they are correctly fitted after cleaning and never operate thesteam oven without the shelf runners fitted.

The shelf runners fit into plastic bushes. Check the bushescarefully for damage. If the bushes are damaged, do not use anymicrowave functions until the bushes have been replaced.

Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquidscontaining salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly toavoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts oraccessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will beinvalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

How the microwave function works

In the steam oven there is a high-frequency tube called a magnetron.This converts electrical energy intomicrowaves. These microwaves aredistributed evenly throughout the oveninterior, and rebound off the metal sidesof the oven interior to reach the foodfrom all sides.

In order for microwaves to reach thefood, they must be able to penetrate thecooking utensil being used. Microwavescan penetrate porcelain, glass,cardboard and plastics, but not metal.Do not, therefore, use utensils made ofmetal, or which contain metal, forexample in the form of gold or silvertrim. The metal reflects the microwavesand this could cause sparking as themicrowaves cannot be absorbed.

Microwaves pass through a suitablecontainer and find their way directly intothe food. All food contains moisturemolecules which, when subjected to

microwave energy, start to oscillate2.5 billion times a second. The frictioncaused by this vibration creates heat,which first starts developing around theoutside of the food and then slowlypenetrates towards the centre. Themoisture, fat and sugar content of foodwill affect the speed at which it isheated or cooked. The heat isgenerated in the food itself.

Advantages

Food can generally be cooked withoutadding much liquid or cooking oil.

Microwaves stop being produced assoon as the cooking process isinterrupted or the appliance door isopened. When the appliance is inoperation, the closed, sealed doorprevents microwaves escaping fromthe appliance.


29

Selecting containers for microwaveuse

Microwaves are reflected by metal.

They pass through glass, porcelain,plastic and cardboard.

They are absorbed by food.

Fire hazard!Non-microwave safe dishes used inmicrowave mode can suffer damageor cause damage to the steam oven.

The material and shape of thecontainers used affect cooking resultsand times.Heat distribution is more even in roundand oval shaped flat containers than inrectangular containers, providing betterresults.

Suitable containers for microwaveuse

Glassware

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glassare ideal for use in the microwave oven.

Exception: Do not use crystal glassas it contains lead which can crackor shatter with microwave power.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a suitable material.

Exception: Do not use porcelain withgold or silver edging, cobalt blue, oritems with hollow knobs or handles,as insufficient ventilation may causea build-up of pressure.

Earthenware

Decorated earthenware is only suitableif the decoration is beneath an all-overglaze.


30

Danger of burning!Earthenware can get very hot, andmay crack.Wear oven gloves when handling hotdishes.

Plastics

Plastic containers and plasticdisposable containers may only beused with the Microwave function ifthey have been declared as suitable formicrowave use by the manufacturer. Toprotect the environment, it is best toavoid using single-use containers.

Do not leave the steam ovenunattended when reheating orcooking food in disposablecontainers made of plastic, paper orother inflammable materials.

Plastics must be heat-resistant to aminimum of 110 °C. Otherwise theplastic may melt and fuse with thefood.When cooking food with fat, or foodcontaining fat, do not use plasticcontainers. Use only glass orporcelain.

– Plastic microwave containers

These are readily available from retailoutlets.

– Styrofoam containers

Styrofoam containers can be used forshort, timed warming and reheating offood.

– Plastic "Boil-in-the-bag" bags

Plastic boiling bags can be used forcooking and reheating. They should bepierced beforehand so that steam canescape.This prevents a build-up of pressureand reduces the risk of the bagbursting.There are also special steaming bagsavailable which do not need to bepierced. Please follow instructions givenon the packet.

– Roasting bags and tubes

Please follow the manufacturer'sinstructions when using roasting bagsand tubes.

Fire hazard!Do not use metal clips, plastic clipscontaining metal parts, or paper tiescontaining wire. There is a dangerthat they will ignite when heated.

– Melamine containers

Melamine is not suitable for use in thisoven. Melamine absorbs microwaveenergy and gets hot. When purchasingplasticware, make sure that it is suitablefor use in a microwave oven.


31

Unsuitable containers for microwaveuse

Dishes with hollow knobs orhandles are not suitable for use withmicrowave power. Moisture whichhas gathered in the hollow recessescan cause pressure to build up andthe item can explode. If the hollowrecess is sufficiently ventilated, theitem could be used. However, werecommend that you do not usesuch dishes in the oven.

Metal

Metal reflects microwaves andobstructs the cooking process.

Do not use metal containers,aluminium, foil, metal cutlery and chinawith metallic decoration such as goldrims or cobalt blue with theMicrowave function.

Transfer ready meals in aluminium foildishes into a microwave safe containerfor a more even heat distribution.

Do not use containers where the foillid has not been completely removedas small pieces of foil can causesparking.

Do not use the cookingcontainers and the rack suppliedwith microwave power.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain metaland are therefore unsuitable formicrowave functions.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable.Moisture contained in the woodevaporates when exposed tomicrowave energy, causing the wood todry and crack.

Placing a dish in the microwave oven

Insert the condensate tray on thelowest shelf level.

The dish containing the food shouldalways be placed in the middle of thecondensate tray.

Placing the food directly on the floorof the oven would give unsatisfactoryand uneven results as the microwaveswould not be able to reach the foodfrom below.


32

Cover

The cover:

– prevents too much steam escaping,especially when cooking foods whichneed longer to cook, such aspotatoes.

– speeds up the reheating process.

– prevents food from drying out.

– helps keep the oven interior clean.

When using the Microwave function, always cover the food with alid or cover made of microwave safeglass or plastic.

These are available from retail outlets.

Alternatively, use a clingfilmrecommended for use in a microwaveoven (pierce as instructed by themanufacturer). Heat can cause normalclingfilm to distort and fuse with thefood.

The cover should not form a sealwith the container. If the cover isused with a container which only hasa narrow diameter, there might notbe enough room for condensation toescape through the holes in the sideof the cover. The cover could get toohot and could start to melt.

Do not cook or reheat food orliquids in sealed containers, jars orbottles using microwave power. Withbaby bottles, the screw top and teatmust be removed. Otherwisepressure builds up which can causethe bottle or container to explode,posing a severe risk of injury.


33

Condensate trayUsing with steam:When using perforated containers,place the condensate tray on the lowestshelf level to collect any drops of liquidand allow them to be removed easily.

Condensation cannot evaporateproperly if the condensate tray ispositioned on the floor of the oven.Insert the condensate tray on thelowest shelf level.

Microwave functions:Always use the glass condensate trayon the lowest shelf level to placecooking containers on.

Oven interior lightingFor energy saving reasons, the oveninterior lighting has been set at thefactory to go out after the programmehas begun.

If you want the lighting to remain onduring cooking, the relevant factorydefault setting needs to be changed(see "Settings - Lighting").

If the door is left open at the end of acooking programme, the oven lightingwill switch off automatically after5 minutes.

The lighting can be switched on for15 seconds by pressing the buttonon the control panel.

General notes on steam cooking

59

This section contains generalinformation. You will find more detailedinformation about particular foods andhow to cook them in the other sections.

The advantages of cookingwith steamAlmost all vitamins and minerals areretained as the food is not immersed inwater.

Cooking with steam also retains thetrue taste of the food better thanconventional cooking. We thereforerecommend seasoning the food after ithas been cooked. Food also retains itsfresh, original colour.

Suitable containers

Cooking containers

This steam oven is supplied withstainless steel cooking containers.Other containers, in a variety of sizes,both perforated and solid, are availableas optional extras (see "Optionalaccessories"). This enables you tochoose the most suitable container forthe food you are preparing.

It is best to use perforated containersfor steam cooking. The steam canreach the food from all sides and thefood is cooked evenly.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers.However, please note the following:

– Containers must be heat-resistant to100 °C and able to withstand hotsteam. With plastic containers pleasecheck with the manufacturer thatthey are suitable for use in a steamoven.

– Thick-sided containers made fromporcelain, china or stoneware, forexample, are not very suitable forsteam cooking. They do not conductheat well and as a result cookingdurations will be considerably longerthan those given in the charts.

– Place the cooking containers on therack and not on the oven floor.

– Ensure that there is a gap betweenthe upper rim of the container andthe top of the cooking compartmentto allow sufficient steam into thecontainer.

Condensate trayWhen using perforated containers,place the condensate tray on the lowestshelf level to collect any drops of liquidand allow them to be removed easily.

Condensation cannot evaporateproperly if the condensate tray ispositioned on the floor of the oven.Insert the condensate tray on thelowest shelf level.

General notes on steam cooking

60

Shelf levelYou can select any shelf level forcooking containers and the rack. Youcan also cook on several levels at thesame time. This will not alter thecooking duration.

When cooking with more than one deepcooking container at the same time,offset them to allow steam to circulateproperly. If possible, leave a shelf levelbetween the containers.

Always insert cooking containers, therack and the condensate tray betweenthe rails of the shelf runners so that theycannot tip.

FrozenThe heating-up phase for frozen food islonger than for fresh food. The greaterthe quantity of frozen food, the longerthe heating-up phase.

TemperatureA maximum temperature of 100 °C isreached when steam cooking is takingplace. Most types of food will cook atthis temperature. Some more delicatetypes of food, such as soft fruit, mustbe cooked at lower temperatures asotherwise they will burst. Moreinformation is given in the relevantsection.

Combination with a food warmingdrawerWhen a warming drawer which isinstalled below the steam oven is inuse, the oven cavity in the steam ovencan reach up to 40 °C. If, in this case,

you set a temperature of 40 °C, nosteam will be produced because theoven cavity is too warm.

DurationIn general, the cooking durations forcooking with steam are the same as forcooking food in a saucepan. Moreinformation about any factors whichmay affect the cooking duration is givenin the relevant sections.

The quantity of food does not affect thecooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes willtake the same time to cook as 500 g.

The durations given in the charts areguidelines only. We recommendselecting the shorter cooking durationquoted to start with. If food is notcooked sufficiently after the shortertime, it can be put back in the ovencompartment and cooked some more.

Cooking with liquidWhen cooking with liquid, only fill thecooking container ²/₃ full to prevent theliquid spilling when the cookingcontainer is removed from the oven.

Your own recipesFood and recipes which are prepared ina pot or a pan can also be cooked inthe steam oven. The cooking times inthe steam oven will be the same. Pleasenote that food will not be brown or crispwhen cooking with steam.

Vegetables

Fresh

Prepare fresh vegetables in the usualway, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.

Frozen

Frozen vegetables do not need to bedefrosted beforehand unless thevegetables have been frozen together ina block.

To cook frozen vegetables, programmethe same time as for fresh ones.

Break up the larger, frozen togetherpieces. Please refer to the cookingtimes on the packaging.

Cooking containers

Food such as peas or asparagusspears, which have little or no spacebetween them, will take longer to cookbecause the steam has less space towork in. For an even result, it is best touse a shallow container for these typesof food, and only fill it about 3 - 5 cmdeep. When cooking large quantities,divide the food between 2 or 3 shallowcontainers rather than using one deepone.

Different types of vegetables which takethe same length of time to cook can becooked together in one cookingcontainer.

Use solid containers for vegetableswhich are cooked in liquid, e.g.cabbage.

Shelf level

When cooking vegetables with adistinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in aperforated container at the same timeas cooking other foods in othercontainers, place the solid tray directlyunderneath the perforated container tocatch any drips and therefore avoid anycolour transfer.

Duration

As with conventional methods, thecooking duration when cookingvegetables with steam will depend onthe size and how well done you wantthem. Example:firm potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 15 minutesfirm potatoes, cut in half = approx. 20 minutes

Meat

Fresh

Prepare the meat in the usual way.

Frozen

Meat should be thoroughly defrostedbefore cooking in the steam oven (see"Special applications - Defrosting withsteam").

Preparation

Meat which needs to be seared beforebeing cooked, e.g. stewing steak,should be seared in a pan on thecooktop.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on thethickness and the texture of the meat,and not on the weight. The thicker thepiece of meat, the longer the cookingduration. A piece of meat weighing 500g which is 10 cm thick will take longerto cook than a piece of meat weighing500 g which is 5 cm thick.

Useful tips

– Use a perforated container to retainthe flavours when cooking meat.Place a solid container underneath tocatch the juices. You can use these tomake a gravy or freeze them for lateruse.

– Boiling chicken, pork rind, meat, ribsand meat bones can be used to makestock. Place the meat together withsome mixed vegetables in a solidcooking container and add coldwater. The longer the cookingduration, the stronger the stock.

Fish

Fresh

Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.clean, gut and fillet.

Frozen

Fish does not need to be fully defrostedbefore cooking. Defrost so that thesurface is sufficiently thawed to takeherbs and seasoning. Depending on thethickness of the fish, 2–5 minutesshould be enough.

Preparation

Add some lemon or lime juice to fishbefore cooking. The citric acid helps theflesh stay firm.

It is not necessary to season fish whencooking with steam as this methodretains the minerals which give the fishits unique flavour.

Cooking containers

If using a perforated container, grease itfirst or line it with baking paper.

Shelf level

When cooking fish in a perforatedcontainer at the same time as cookingother types of food in other containers,place the container with the fish directlyabove the tray to catch any liquid andso avoid any transfer of tastes to otherfood.

Steam cooking

67

Temperature

85 °C – 90 °C For gently cooking delicate types offish, such as flounder.

100 °CFor cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.salmon.Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on thethickness and the texture of the fish,and not on the weight. The thicker thefish, the longer the cooking duration. A3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 gwill take longer to cook than a 2 cmthick piece of fish weighing 500 g.

The longer fish cooks, the firmer itsflesh will become. Use the cookingdurations given in the chart. If you findthat 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 thecooking duration quoted by a fewminutes.

Useful tips

– Adding herbs and spices, such asdill, will help bring out the full flavourof the fish.

– Cook large fish in the swimmingposition. To help maintain thestructure of the fish, place a smallcup or similar upside down in thecooking container, and arrange thefish bellyside down over the cup.

– You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fishheads, bones, tails etc. to make afish stock. Place the fish scrapstogether with some mixed vegetablesin a solid cooking container and addcold water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to90 minutes. The longer the cookingduration, the stronger the stock.

– Blue fish is fish which is cooked inwater and vinegar. It is important notto damage the skin of the fish. Thismethod is suitable for cooking carp,trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Menu cooking

Before cooking meals with the Menucooking function, switch off steamreduction (see "Settings - Steamreduction").

Menu cooking involves cooking variousfoods with different cooking times inorder to serve them all together in onemeal, e.g. Perch with rice and broccoli.Foods are placed in the steam oven atdifferent times so that they are all readyat the same time.

Shelf level

When cooking fish or food with adistinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in aperforated container, place theperforated container directly above asolid container to avoid any transfer offlavour or colour to other food and toprevent liquid dripping onto food belowit.

Temperature

Whole meals should be cooked at atemperature of 100 °C as this is thetemperature required to cook themajority of foods. Do not cook a whole meal at the lowesttemperature when differenttemperatures are required for differenttypes of food, e.g. 85 °C for seabreamand 100 °C for potatoes.

If the recommended cookingtemperature for the food is 85 °C forexample, try cooking it at 100 °C andtesting the result. Some delicate typesof fish with a soft structure, e.g.flounder will become very firm whencooked at 100 °C.

Duration

If you increase the recommendedtemperature, shorten the cookingduration by approx. ¹/₃.

Example:

Rice 20 minutes

Rosefish fillet 6 minutes

Broccoli 4 minutes

20 minutes minus 6minutes = 14 minutes (1st duration: rice)

6 minutes minus 4 minutes = 2 minutes(2nd duration: rosefish fillet)

Set the second cooking duration: 2minutes.

After 2 minutes, place the broccoli inthe steam oven.

Set the third cooking duration: 4minutes.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

81

With this gentle cooking method, foodis cooked slowly and at a low, constanttemperature in vacuum packaging.

With vacuum cooking, no moistureevaporates during cooking and allnutrients and flavours are retained.

The cooking result has an intensivetaste and food is cooked evenly.

Use only fresh food which is in agood condition.Ensure hygienic conditions and thatfood has not been out of therefrigerator too long, e.g. duringtransportation.

Use only heat-stable, boiling-resistant vacuum bags.Do not cook food in the salespackaging, such as vacuum-packedfrozen food as it is possible that thepackaging used is not suitable forvacuum cooking.Do not use the vacuum bag morethan once.

Vacuum-seal the food in a chambersystem vacuum sealer only.


82

ImportantFor an optimum cooking result:

– Use fewer herbs and spices than forconventional cooking as the influenceon the taste of the food is moreintensive.You can also prepare the foodunseasoned and add seasoning aftercooking.

– The cooking duration is reducedwhen salt, sugar, and liquids areadded.

– The food becomes firmer if acidicfoods, such as lemon or vinegar areadded.

– Do not use alcohol or garlic as thiscan cause an unpleasant taste.

– Only use vacuum bags that matchthe size of the food. If the vacuumbag is too big, too much air mayremain inside.

– If you want to cook several pieces offood in one vacuum bag, put themside by side in the bag.

– If you want to cook food in severalvacuum bags at once, put the bagsside by side on the shelf.

– The cooking durations depend on thethickness of the food.

– With higher temperatures and/orlonger cooking durations, a lack ofwater may occur. Check the displayfrom time to time.

– Keep the door closed during thecooking process. Opening the doorextends the cooking process and canchange the cooking result.

– Cooking at a lower temperature andfor a longer duration can result inincreased residual water in thecooking compartment. This does notaffect the cooking result.

– The information on temperature andduration from sous-vide recipescannot always be adopted 1:1.Adjust these settings according tothe desired level of doneness.


83

Useful tips– To reduce preparation times, you can

vacuum food 1–2 days beforecooking. Store the vacuumed food inthe refrigerator at a maximum of 3 °C.To maintain quality and taste, thefood must be cooked after 2 days atthe latest.

– Freeze liquids such as marinadesbefore vacuum-sealing to preventthem from escaping from the vacuumbag.

– Fold the edges of the vacuum bagoutwards for filling in order to obtainclean, perfect weld seams.

– If you do not want to eat the fooddirectly after cooking, put it in icedwater to cool down completely. Thenstore it at a maximum of 3 °C. In this way, you can maintain qualityand taste while extending the life ofthe food. Exception: Consume poultryimmediately after cooking.

– After cooking, cut the vacuum bag onall sides for easier access to thefood.

– Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish(such as salmon) before serving for aroasted aroma.

– Use the brine or marinade ofvegetables, fish, or meat to make asauce.

– Serve the food on pre-warmedplates.

Procedure Rinse the food with cold water and

dry it.

Place the food in a vacuum bag andadd spices or liquid if desired.

Vacuum-seal the food in a chambersystem vacuum sealer.

For optimum cooking results, insertthe rack on shelf level 2.

Place the vacuum-sealed food on therack (next to each other if there areseveral bags).

Insert the condensate tray on thelowest shelf level.

ReheatingReheat brassica vegetables, e.g.kohlrabi and cauliflower, only incombination with a sauce. If reheatedwithout a sauce, these vegetables canhave an unpleasant aftertaste and maydevelop a grey-brown colour.

Foods with a short cooking time andthose which have a different degree ofdoneness when reheated, e.g. fish, arenot suited to being reheated.

Preparation

Immediately after cooking, place thefood in ice cold water and leave forapproximately one hour. The rapidcooling inhibits continued cooking ofthe food. This means the ideal degreeof doneness of the food remains as it is.Store the food afterwards in therefrigerator at max. 3 °C.

Please note that the quality of fooddeteriorates the longer it is stored.We recommend storing food in therefrigerator for no longer than fivedays before reheating it.

Special applications

89

Reheating with steam

Use the Sous-vide function to reheatfood already cooked using thisfunction (see "Sous-vide -Reheating").

The steam oven is very effective atreheating food gently, without drying itout or cooking it further. The foodreheats evenly and does not need to bestirred during the reheating process.

You can reheat individual dishes orplated meals which have been preparedpreviously (e.g. meat, vegetables andpotatoes).

Suitable containers

Small quantities can be reheated on aplate, larger quantities should be placedin a cooking container.

Duration

The number of plates or containers hasno bearing on the duration.

The durations listed in the chart relateto an average portion per plate/container. Increase the duration forlarger quantities.

Useful tips

– Do not reheat large items, such as ajoint of roast meat, whole. Divide itinto portions and reheat these asplated meals.

– Compact items, such as stuffedcapsicum or roulades, should be cutin half.

– Please note that breaded items, suchas schnitzel, will not retain theircrispness when they are reheated.

– Reheat sauces separately.Exceptions: Food that is prepared insauces, e.g. goulash.

Procedure

Cover the food with a deep plate, alid, or with clingfilm that is resistant totemperatures up to 100 °C and tosteam.

Then place the plate on the rack inthe oven.

Defrosting with steamIt is much quicker to defrost items in thesteam oven than at room temperature.

Temperature

60 °C is the best temperature fordefrosting.Exceptions: 50 °C for minced meat andgame.

Before and after defrosting

Remove all packaging beforedefrosting.Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits andcakes in their packaging as otherwisethey will absorb moisture and becomesoft.

Allow defrosted food to stand at roomtemperature after removing it from theoven. The standing time is necessary toallow the even distribution of heat.

Cooking containers

Danger of salmonella poisoning.Do not use the liquid from defrostedmeat or poultry. Pour it away andwash the container, the sink and yourhands.

Use a perforated container with a solidcontainer underneath it when defrostingfood which will drip, such as poultry.This way food will not be lying indefrosted liquid.

Foods which don't drip can bedefrosted in a solid cooking container.

Useful tips

– Fish does not need to be fullydefrosted before cooking. Defrost sothat the surface is sufficiently thawedto take herbs and seasoning.Depending on the thickness of thefish, 2–5 minutes should be enough.

– When defrosting food which hasfrozen together, e.g. berries, chops,fish fillets etc. separate it about half-way through the defrosting time.

– Do not refreeze food once it hasthawed.

– Defrost frozen ready meals accordingto the instructions on the packaging.

BottlingOnly use unblemished, fresh producewhich is in good condition.

Glass jars

Use clean glass jars and accessoriesand check them for any defects. Glassjars with twist off lids or glass lids with arubber seal are suitable.

Make sure that all the glass jars are thesame size so that bottling is carried outevenly.

After you have filled the jars with thebottled produce, clean the glass rimswith a clean cloth and hot water andthen seal the jars.

Fruit

Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly butthoroughly and allow it to drain. Takegreat care when cleaning soft fruit as itis very delicate and squashes easily.

Remove any peel, stalks, cores orstones. Cut up large fruit. For example,cut apples into slices.

If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g.plums, apricots) without removing thestones, pierce the fruit several timeswith a fork or wooden skewer asotherwise it will burst.

Vegetables

Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.

Green vegetables should be blanchedbefore bottling to help them retain theircolour (see "Special applications -Blanching").

Fill volume

Fill the glass jars with produce up to amaximum of 3 cm below the rim. Donot pack it down as this will damagethe cell walls of the produce. Tap the jargently onto a cloth to help distribute thecontents evenly. Fill the jars with liquid.The produce must be completelycovered.

Use a sugar solution for fruit and a saltor vinegar solution for vegetables.

Meat and sausages

Briefly fry or cook the meat beforebottling. Use the juices with someadded water, or the broth in which themeat was cooked, as the liquid contentof the jars. Make sure there is no greaseon the rim of the jars.When bottling sausages, only fill thejars to halfway as the meat will riseduring the bottling process.

Useful tips

– Make use of residual heat by leavingthe jars in the oven for 30 minutesafter it has switched off.

– Then cover the jars with a cloth andallow to cool for approx. 24 hours.


94

Procedure

Place the rack on the lowest shelf level.

Place the jars on the rack (all the same size). Ensure that they do not touch oneanother.

Extracting juiceThis appliance is ideal for extractingjuice from soft, firm and hard fruit.

It is best to use overripe fruit as theriper the fruit, the greater the quantity ofjuice produced. Very ripe fruit will alsoproduce a more intense flavour.

Preparation

Sort and rinse the fruit, and cut out anyblemishes.

Remove the stalks from grapes andmorello cherries as these are bitter. Thestalks do not need to be removed fromstrawberries, raspberries etc.

Cut larger fruit into chunks approx.2 cm in size. The harder the fruit, thesmaller the pieces should be.

Useful tips

– Try experimenting with mild and tartflavours. For example, mix appleswith elderberries.

– Adding sugar will increase thequantity of juice produced andimprove the flavour. Sprinkle the fruitwith sugar and leave to absorb for afew hours before juicing. For 1 kg ofsweet 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 ratherthan consume it straight away, pour itwhilst hot into hot, sterilised bottlesup to the rim, and then sealimmediately with sterilised rubbertops.

Procedure

Put the prepared fruit (cleaned,washed, chopped etc.) into aperforated cooking container.

Place a solid container or thecondensate tray underneath to catchthe juice.

Making yoghurtTo prepare yoghurt, you will need milkand live culture or yoghurt starterpowder, e.g. from a health food store.

Use natural yoghurt with live culture andwithout additives. Do not use heat-treated yoghurt.

The yoghurt must be fresh (shortstorage time).

You can use either unchilled long-lifemilk or fresh milk. Long-life milk can beused without being further treated.Fresh milk must be heated to 90 °C (notboiled) and then allowed to cool downto 35 °C. Using fresh milk will make theyoghurt firmer than if long-life milk wasused.

The yoghurt and milk should have thesame percentage fat.

Do not move or shake the jars while theyoghurt is fermenting.

After preparing the yoghurt, it must beimmediately placed in the refrigerator tocool down.

The firmness, fat content and culturesused in the yoghurt starter all affect theconsistency of homemade yoghurt. Notall yoghurts are equally suitable asyoghurt starters.

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 wasinsufficiently heated.

Liquid has not been removed:Jars were moved, the yoghurt cooleddown too slowly.

Yoghurt is grainy:The milk was heated too high, it wasnot free of imperfections, the milk andyoghurt starter were not stirred evenly.

Useful tip: If you are using yoghurtstarter powder, you can prepare theyoghurt from a mixture of milk andcream. For that, mix ³/₄ litre milk with ¹/₄litre cream.


98

Procedure

Mix 100 g yoghurt with 1 litre of milkor follow the instructions provided bythe manufacturer.

Pour the mixture into glass jars andseal the jars.

Place the sealed jars in a perforatedcooking container. Ensure that theydo not touch one another.

Defrosting and reheating in combination modeFood can be defrosted and reheated using a combination of steam and microwavepower. To do this, you need to create your own User programme (see "Userprogrammes").

Defrosting and reheating food using a combination of steam and microwave powerhas the advantage that food

– is reheated faster than using only steam,

– will not overcook or dry out as it can with microwave power,

– can be defrosted and reheated in a single process,

– does not need to be stirred during the process.

106

Before defrosting andreheating Place food (including frozen) in a dish

that is suitable for microwave use,and cover it.

Place the dish in the centre of thecondensate tray on the bottom shelf.

During the defrosting andreheating process Turn or stir the food several times.

Stir the food from the outsidetowards the middle, as food heatsmore quickly from the outside.

After defrosting followed byreheatingDuring the standing time thetemperature is distributed evenly in thefood.

Allow the food to stand at roomtemperature for a few minutes toenable the heat to spread evenlythroughout the food.

Danger of burning!After reheating food, especially foodfor babies and small children, stir thefood or shake the container andcheck that the temperature does notpose any danger. Double check afterit has been left to stand. Danger ofburning!

Danger of burning!Be careful when removing dishesfrom the appliance. Although heat isnot normally produced in thecontainer itself by the microwaves(apart from stoneware), heat transferfrom the food to the container maybe considerable, making thecontainer itself hot.Wear oven gloves when removingdishes from the oven.

Always ensure that food is sufficientlycooked or reheated.

If in any doubt that a sufficiently hightemperature has been reached,continue cooking or reheating for alittle longer.


107

Tips on reheating

Danger of burning!Food for babies and children mustnot be too hot.Only heat food for babies andchildren for 30–60 seconds at 450 W.

Pressure can build up whenreheating in sealed containers, jarsor bottles, causing them to explode.Do not cook or reheat food or liquidsin sealed containers, jars or bottles.With baby bottles, the screw top andteat must be removed.

Eggs can explode when usingmicrowave power.Never reheat hard boiled eggs usingthe Microwave function evenwithout the shell.

When boiling and in particular whenreheating liquids using microwavepower, the boiling point of the liquidmay be reached without theproduction of typical bubbles. Theliquid does not boil evenlythroughout.This so-called 'boiling delay' cancause a sudden build up of bubbleswhen the container is removed fromthe oven or shaken. This can lead tothe liquid boiling over suddenly andexplosively. The formation of bubblescan be so strong that the pressureforces the oven door open.To avoid this, always wait a minimumof 20 seconds before removing thecontainer from the oven and place asuitable glass rod or utensil into thecup or glass when heating liquids.


108

Use Notes

Defrosting large quantities of food atonce, e.g. 2 kg fish

Put the food to be defrosted in amicrowave safe dish and place it on thecondensate tray.

Reheating food Always cover food when reheating it,except when reheating meat/fishcoated in breadcrumbs.

Cooking frozen ready-meals Deep frozen, ready-made meals can bedefrosted and then reheated or cookedin one process. Follow the instructionson the packet.

Descaling

We recommend using Miele descalingtablets for descaling the appliance(see "Optional accessories"). Thesehave been specially developed forMiele appliances to optimise thedescaling process. Other descalingagents, which contain other acidsbesides citric acid and/or otherundesirable substances, such aschlorides, for example, could damagethe steam oven. Moreover, thedescaling effect required could not beguaranteed if the descaling solutionwas not of the appropriateconcentration.

Do not spill descaling agent ontometal surfaces. This can causemarks to appear.However, should any descalingagent get onto these surfaces, wipeit away immediately.

The steam oven needs to be descaledafter a certain number of operatinghours. When the steam oven needs tobe descaled, a number will appear inthe display indicating the number ofcooking processes remaining before theappliance locks out. Only cookingprocesses using steam are counted.After the last remaining steam cookingprocess, the appliance will lock out.

We recommend that you descale theappliance before it locks out.

During the descaling process the watercontainer must be emptied, rinsed outand refilled with fresh water.

Problem solving guide

128

With the aid of the following guide, minor problems can be easily correctedwithout contacting Miele. If, after reading this guide, you can't remedy the problemyourself, please call Miele (see back cover for details).Please note, however, that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary servicevisits where the problem could have been rectified as described in these operatinginstructions.

Danger of injury! Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carriedout by a suitably qualified and competent person. Repairs and other work byunqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable forunauthorised work. Do not attempt to open the casing of the steam ovenyourself.

Problem Possible cause and remedy

You cannot switch theappliance on.

The circuit breaker is defective or has tripped. Reset or replace the circuit breaker (see data plate

for minimum fuse rating).There may be a technical fault. Disconnect the appliance from the mains

connection for approx. 1 minute:– switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the

plug, or– switch off the mains circuit breaker.

Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse box, andswitch the appliance back on. If it still will notswitch on, contact a qualified electrician or Miele.

The oven does not heatup.

Demo mode has been activated.The steam oven can be operated but does not heatup. You need to deactivate the Demo mode (see

"Settings - Showroom programme" ).The oven cavity has been warmed up by a warmingdrawer in operation underneath it. Open the door and let the oven cool down.

The fan can still beheard after theappliance has beenswitched off.

The fan is still running. The appliance is fitted with a fan which removessteam from the oven. The fan will continue to run fora while after the appliance has been switched off. Itwill switch itself off automatically after a while.


129


A humming sound canbe heard after switchingon the appliance, duringoperation and afterswitching off theappliance.

This is not a fault. It is made by water being pumpedthrough the system.

After moving house theappliance no longerswitches from theheating-up phase to thecooking phase.

Altitude affects the boiling point of water. If you movehouse, the appliance will need to be reset for the newaltitude if this differs from the old one by more than300 m. To adjust the boiling temperature, you need to

descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care -Descaling").

During operation anunusually large amountof steam escapes orsteam escapes fromparts of the steam ovenwhere it does notusually.

The door is not properly closed. Close the door.

The door seal is not correctly fitted. If necessary, press it in all the way round the door

to make sure it is fitted evenly.The door seal is damaged, e.g. cracked.

The door seal needs to be replaced. Call Miele. Do not use any microwave functions until the door

seal has been replaced.

A whistling sound isheard when theappliance is switchedon again.

When the door is closed, the pressure has toequalise, which can cause a whistling sound. This isnot a fault.

The Start at and Finish atfunctions have notworked.

The oven compartment temperature is too high, e.g.after a programme has finished. Leave the door open to cool down the oven

compartment.

These functions are not available with Maintenance.


130


After long cookingcycles with microwavepower , there arehigh levels of moisturein the cavity.

The steam oven with microwave is a fully fledgedsteam oven. The cavity is therefore completelysteam-tight. In contrast, a conventional microwaveoven is not air-tight. As a result of the steam-tightcavity, during long cooking cycles with microwavepower , condensate will develop on the side wallsand the inner door panel. The quantity of condensatedepends on the cooking duration and the level ofmoisture in the food.

The food is notsufficiently heated or isnot cooked at the endof a set duration whenusing MicrowaveSolo .

The oven was not restarted after interrupting acooking process using microwave power. Restart the programme to ensure the food is

heated or cooked properly.When cooking or heating with microwave power, thetime set was too short. Check that the correct duration is selected for the

microwave power level. The lower the microwavepower level the longer the cooking duration.

With a load that is too small, the steam ovenautomatically reduces the power level to suit theactual load as a protective measure. The displaycontinues to show the previously set starting powerlevel. Restart the programme with a lower microwave

power level to ensure the food is heated or cookedproperly.

Food has cooled downtoo quickly after beingreheated or cookedwith microwavepower .

Microwaves cause food to heat from the outside first.This heat then moves towards the middle of the food.If food is cooked at a high power level it is possiblethat the heat may not have reached the centre of thefood. Food may be hot on the outside but cool in themiddle. During the standing time the food in themiddle will become warmer and that on the outsidewill become cooler. When reheating food with different densities, such

as with menu cooking, it is sensible to start with alow power level and select a longer reheatingduration.


131


Less than half of thepopcorn has popped onthe Popcorn function.

The oven interior was too warm and/or too damp.The cooking duration was too short. See "Popcorn".

The oven lightingdoesn't come on.

The lamp needs to be replaced. Call Miele to have the lamp replaced.

F44 Communication fault Switch the steam oven off and then back on again

after a few minutes. If the same message appears again, call Miele.

F and other fault codes Technical fault. Switch the appliance off and call Miele.
