moved, or – Unplug (if plug present) the machine from the outlet. Pull the plug
not the cord. If the steam oven is installed behind a cabinet front (e.g., a door), do not close the cabinet front while the steam oven is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the cabinet front when closed. This can result in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit, and the floor. Leave the door panel open until the steam oven has cooled down completely.
13

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Correct use Danger of burning. The heater elements may still be hot even if they are not glowing red. The surfaces of the oven compartment can cause burns if they are touched. External parts of the steam oven such as the door glass, control panel, and the vent become quite hot. During operation and after turning the steam oven off, make sure that you do not touch any hot parts and surfaces and do not let any items of clothing or flammable objects come into contact with these. Wait until the steam oven has cooled down. Do not let food sit in the oven for an extended period of time before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Loose fitting or hanging garments present a fire hazard. Wear proper apparel while operating the appliance. Use only dry, heat-resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let potholders come in contact with oil or grease. Do not substitute dish towels or other bulky items for potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Open the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before placing or removing food. Danger of burning. Push the baking trays and wire racks onto the corresponding level before heating up the steam oven. If you want to remove the baking tray or wire rack while the oven compartment is hot, do not touch the heater elements with the pot holders. To prevent burns, allow the heating elements to cool before cleaning by hand. Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing agent or foam fire extinguisher. Do not store any flammable liquids and objects near to the steam oven or cooktop.
14

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Never use the steam oven to heat or warm up a room. This may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the steam oven.
WARNING Never use the steam oven for storage purposes. This may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the steam oven.
WARNING Never cover slots, holes, or openings in the base of the steam oven or cover the entire wire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. This blocks the air flow in the steam oven and can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Covers made of aluminum foil can also cause heat to build up, which could lead to a fire. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Only use the steam oven to prepare food. Corrosive chemicals and vapors such as those caused by heated adhesives, plastic, or flammable liquids and objects can be harmful to the health. Do not use the steam oven for drying, toasting, or dehumidifying. Do not let metal objects (aluminum foil, pans) come in contact with the heating element. Make certain that the power cords of small appliances do not come in contact with or get caught in the oven door. Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment, side racks, accessories, food, or steam. Use pot holders when placing food in the appliance or removing it and when working in the hot oven compartment.
15

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Risk of injury caused by hot food.
Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or removing it. The food can cause burns. When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill. Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars in the steam oven, as pressure will build up in the container, causing it to explode. Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and can even damage the steam oven or catch fire. Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a steam oven. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on use. If you want to use plastic containers for steaming food make sure that they are temperature resistant to 212°F (100°C) and steam resistant. Any other plastic containers could melt, become brittle or break when subjected to heat. Risk of injury caused by steam. Pouring a cold liquid onto a hot surface creates steam, which can cause severe scalding. The sudden temperature change can also cause damage to hot surfaces. Never pour cold liquids directly onto hot enameled surfaces. It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is evenly distributed and sufficiently high. You can ensure this by stirring or turning the food. Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the 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. Do not leave the door open unnecessarily.
16

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The door can support a maximum weight of 22 lbs (10 kg). Do not
sit, lean or place heavy items on the open oven door. Also be sure nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven cavity. The steam oven could get damaged. Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the steam oven unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not put the flames out with water. Switch the steam oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by keeping the oven door closed. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam oven when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the steam oven to heat up the room. Broiling 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. Certain foods dry out quickly and may catch fire due to high broiling temperatures. Never use broiling modes to finish baking par-cooked rolls or bread, or to dry flowers or herbs. Instead, use the Convection Bake or Surround operating mode. To avoid fueling any flames, do not open the steam oven door if there is smoke inside the oven compartment. Interrupt operation by turning the steam oven off and disconnecting it from the electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed. Use caution when using alcohol in your recipes. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures but may, in rare circumstances, combust on the hot heating elements.
17

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Never line the floor of the oven with aluminum foil or oven liners.
Do not place any dishware 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 wire rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the rack surface facing up and the dishware 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 wire rack being pushed around on it. Do not push the wire 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 small electrical appliance, e.g., a hand-held blender, near the steam oven, care should be taken that the power cord of the appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. This could damage the insulation on the cord. Do not operate the appliance without the bulb cover. Steam could attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Steam could also damage the electrical components.
18

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning and maintenance Only clean parts listed in these operating and installation instruc-
tions. Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning. Scratches on the door glass can cause the glass to break. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to clean the door glass. The side racks can be removed (see “Cleaning the side racks” under “Cleaning and care for the steam oven”). Reinstall the side racks correctly. To avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surfaces, remove any splashes on the interior walls of the oven from food or liquids containing salt. In warm, moist environments, there is a higher probability of pest infestations. Ensure the steam oven and the area surrounding it are always kept clean. Damage caused by pests is not covered by the warranty.
19

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Accessories Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become void. Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is faulty, it must only be replaced with a Miele genuine probe. The plastic on the probe can melt at very high temperatures. Do not use the probe when using the broil functions (exception: Convection Broil ). Do not store the probe in the oven if it is not in use. The perforated and solid cooking pans will be damaged by high temperatures! Use them only in modes and programs that work exclusively with steam. This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s) and part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Description of functions

Control panel
The water container and the condensate container are located behind the control panel. The panel is opened and closed by touching the Lift Panel sensor button. Before the control panel closes automatically, a note appears in the display, which you must confirm with OK. The control panel is fitted with anti-trapping protection. If the control panel senses resistance when opening/closing, the process is canceled. Do not touch the upper edge of the door when the panel is opening and closing.
Water container
The maximum filling volume is 6 cups (1.4 l) and the minimum is 4 1/4 cups (1.0 l). There are markings on the water container. The upper marking must never be exceeded. Water consumption depends on the type of food and the cooking duration. The water may need to be topped up during cooking. Water consumption is increased if the door is opened during cooking. Fill the water container to the maximum level before each cooking program involving steam.

Condensate container
Condensate that collects in the appliance from cooking is pumped into the condensate container. The container has a maximum capacity of 6 cups (1.4 l).
Food probe
The 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 preset recommended temperature. The recommended temperature can be altered within the given range for an individual cooking program, a program stage, or for every time that program is used (see “Recommended temperatures” under “Settings”). The core temperature can also be altered within the given range for an individual program or a specific program stage.

Description of functions

Moisture
The Combi Steam operating mode and Reheat Special Mode use a combination of oven heat and moisture. The moisture level can be selected within the given range for an individual program or a specific program stage. Depending on the moisture setting, moisture or fresh air is supplied to the oven compartment. With the moisture setting = 0%, the maximum fresh air supply is implemented and no moisture is supplied. With the moisture setting = 100%, there is no fresh air supply and the moisture content is at its maximum. Some food gives off moisture during the cooking process. This moisture from the food affects the amount of additional moisture needed. If the required amount of moisture is low, the steam generator may not be activated at all.

Cooking duration
Depending on the operating mode, 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 programs are set at the factory and cannot be altered. When cooking with steam, as well as for programs and applications with pure steam operation, the cooking duration does not begin until the set temperature is reached. It starts immediately for all other operating modes, programs, and applications.
Noises
A humming sound can be heard during operation and after turning off the 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 steam oven is in use, you will hear a blower noise.

Description of functions

Heating-up phase
The display shows the temperature in the oven compartment as it rises during the heating-up phase in all operating modes (exceptions: Maxi Broil , Broil ). The duration of the heating-up phase with steam cooking will depend on the quantity and temperature of the food. In general, the heating-up phase will last for approx. 7 minutes. It will be longer if you are cooking refrigerated or frozen food. The heating-up phase may also take longer when cooking at lower temperatures and when cooking with the Sous-vide operating mode.
Cooking phase
The elapsing time left 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 operating modes, programs, and applications.

Oven interior lighting
For energy-saving reasons, the oven interior lighting has been set at the factory to go out after the program 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 “Lighting” under “Settings”). If the door is left open at the end of a cooking program, the oven interior lighting will turn off automatically after 5 minutes. If the Light sensor button on the control panel is touched, the oven compartment lighting will come on for 15 seconds.

Steam reduction
With steam cooking and Combi-Steam, the steam-reduction function will turn on automatically at the end of a cooking program which uses a temperature within a certain temperature range. This is to prevent a large amount of steam escaping when the door is opened. Steam reduction will appear in the display.
Steam reduction can be turned off (see “Steam reduction” under “Settings”). When steam reduction is turned off, a large amount of steam will escape when the door is opened.

Alarm + Timer

Using the Timer function
The timer can be used to time other activities in the kitchen, e.g., boiling eggs. The timer can also be used at the same time as a cooking program for which the start and finish times have been set (e.g., as a reminder to stir the food or add seasoning, etc.). The maximum timer duration that can
be set is 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
Setting the timer If you have selected the Display | QuickTouch | Off setting, you will need to turn the steam oven on before setting the timer. The timer can then be seen counting down on the display when the steam oven is turned off. Example: you want to boil some eggs and set a timer of 6 minutes and 20 seconds. Select the Timer sensor button. Select Timer. Set the required timer duration. Tap Close to confirm. When the steam oven is turned off, the timer time counts down in the display and appears instead of the time of day. If you are cooking at the same time or if you are in a different menu, the timer duration and will appear in the top right-hand corner of the display.

At the end of the timer duration, will flash, the time will start counting up, and an audible signal will sound. Select the Timer sensor button or the
required timer on the display. The audible signal will stop and the symbols on the display will go out.
Changing the timer Select the timer on the display or se-
lect the Timer sensor button and then the timer duration you want. The set timer duration will appear. Set a new timer duration. Tap Close to confirm. The changed timer duration is now saved and will count down in minutes. Timer durations of less than 10 minutes will count down in seconds.

Energy-saving tips

Cooking programs
– Remove all accessories from the oven that are not required for a cooking program.
– If a temperature range is given, it is best to select the lower temperature and check the food after the shortest cooking time given.
– Preheat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.
– Try not to open the door when cooking.
– Dark, matte 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 aluminum reflect the heat and therefore can give a more uneven result. Do not cover the oven floor or the wire rack with heat-reflecting aluminum foil.
– Monitor cooking durations to avoid wasting energy when cooking. Set the cooking duration, or use a food probe if you have one.
– Most food can be cooked using Convection Bake or Convection Roast . Because the fan distributes the heat in the oven compartment straight away, it allows you to use a lower temperature than you would with Surround . It also enables you to cook on multiple shelf levels at the same time.

– Convection Broil is the best operating mode for broiled dishes. Lower temperatures can be used than with other broil modes that use the maximum temperature setting.
– Whenever possible you should cook several dishes at the same time. Place them next to each other in the oven or on different shelf levels.
– Dishes which you are unable to prepare at the same time should, if possible, be cooked one after the other in order to make use of existing heat in the oven.
Settings
– Select the Display | QuickTouch | Off setting 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. You can turn the oven interior lighting on again at any time by tapping the Light sensor button.
Energy-saving mode
The steam oven will turn itself off automatically to save energy if a program 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 program, check that the filter in the floor of the oven compartment is correctly fitted.
Turn the steam oven on. The main menu will appear. If you want to cook using a steam op-
erating mode or with bursts of steam, fill the water container and fit it back in place.
Distilled or carbonated water or other liquids could damage the steam oven. Only use cold, fresh drinking water (below 70°F (20°C)).
Place the food in the oven. Select Operating Modes . Select the operating mode you want
to use. 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 preheating phase will begin. You will see the temperature rising on the display. An audible signal will sound when the set temperature is reached for the first time. After the cooking program, select Fin-
ish.
The steam-reduction function will turn on automatically at the end of a cooking program which uses a temperature of over approx. 175°F (80°C) (steam cooking) or 175212°F (80100°C) and 100% moisture (Combi-Steam). Wait until Steam reduction goes out in the display before opening the door.
Take the food out of the oven.

Operation

Cleaning the steam oven Remove the water container and con-
densate container and empty them as required. Turn the steam oven off. Appliance rinsing appears after a cooking program involving steam. Follow the instructions on the display.
The rinsing process should be carried out every time to flush any remaining food deposits out of the system.
Clean and dry the whole steam oven as described in “Cleaning and care for the steam oven”.
Leave the appliance door open until the oven compartment is completely dry.
Refilling the water If water needs replenishing during the cooking program, a tone will sound and the display will prompt you to refill the container with fresh water. Remove the water container and fill it
with fresh water. Push the water container into the ap-
pliance. The cooking program will continue.

Changing values and settings for a cooking program
Depending on the operating mode, as soon as a cooking program is in progress, you can change the values or settings for this program. Depending on the operating mode, you can change the following settings: – Temperature – Moisture – Duration – Booster – Preheat – Crisp function
Changing the temperature and core temperature Via Settings | Recommended temperatures, you can permanently adjust the recommended temperature to suit your cooking preferences. The core temperature only appears if you are using the probe (see “Roasting Probe”). Tap the temperature display. Change the temperature and the
core temperature as required. Confirm with OK. The cooking program will resume with the new target temperatures.

Operation

Changing Moisture Touch the moisture indicator. Change the moisture level. Confirm with OK. The program will continue to run at the new moisture level.
Setting additional durations
Cooking results can be adversely affected if there is a long delay between the food being placed in the oven and the start of cooking. Fresh food can change color and even spoil. When baking, the cake mixture or dough can dry out, and the raising agents can lose their effectiveness. Select as short a time as possible until the start of the cooking process.
You have placed the food in the oven, selected an operating mode and the required settings such as the temperature. By entering Duration, Ready at or Start at, you can automatically turn the cooking program off or on and off. – Duration
Enter the required cooking duration for the food. The oven heating will turn off automatically once the cooking duration has elapsed. The maximum cooking duration that can be set depends on the operating mode that you have selected. – Ready at Specify when you want the cooking program to finish. The oven will turn off automatically at the time you have set.

– Start at This function will only appear in the menu if you have set a Duration or Ready at time. With Start at, you have to specify when you want the cooking program to start. The oven will turn on automatically at the time you have set.

Operation

Canceling a cooking program
If you cancel a cooking program, the oven heating and lighting will turn off. Any cooking durations set will be deleted.
During a cooking program with steam, Steam reduction will appear if you have set a temperature above approx. 175°F (80°C) (steam cooking) or 175 212°F (80100°C) and 100% moisture (Combi-Steam). Select Close to return to the main menu.
Canceling a cooking program without a set cooking duration Select Finish. The main menu will appear.
Canceling a cooking program with a set cooking duration Select Cancel. Cancel program? will appear. Select Yes. The main menu will appear.
Interrupting a cooking program
A cooking program is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. The oven heating turns off. The set cooking duration is saved when cooking with steam as well as for programs and applications with pure steam operation.

Risk of injury due to hot steam.
When using a cooking program 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 sur-
faces and food. The steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment, side racks, accessories, or food. Use pot holders when placing food in the appliance or removing it and when working in the hot oven compartment. When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill.
The cooking program will resume when the door is closed. The steam oven will heat up again and the display will show the temperature in the oven compartment as it rises. When cooking with steam as well as for programs and applications with pure steam operation, the time left only continues to count down once the set temperature has been reached.
In programs using 100% moisture and temperatures up to 212°F (100°C): the cooking program will finish early if the door is opened in the last minute of cooking (55 seconds remaining).

Operation

Preheating the oven
The Booster function is used to quickly preheat the oven compartment in some operating modes. The Preheat function can be used with any oven operating mode and has to be turned on separately for each cooking program. The oven compartment only needs to be preheated in a few cases. Preheat the oven compartment when
cooking the following food: – cakes, cookies, and pastries with a
short cooking duration (approx. 30 minutes or less) as well as delicate items (e.g., sponge) with the Surround operating mode (without the Booster function)
Booster The Booster function is activated as the factory default setting for the following operating modes (Settings | Booster | On): – Convection Bake – Convection Roast – Surround If you set a temperature above 210°F (100°C) and the Booster function is turned on, a rapid preheating phase heats the oven compartment to the set temperature. The browning/broiling element and the ring heating element come on together with the hot air blower.

Delicate items (e.g., sponge cake or cookies) will brown too quickly on the top if the Booster function is used. Turn off the Booster function for these items.
Turning Booster on or off for a cooking program If you have selected the Booster | On setting, you can turn the function off separately for a cooking program. On the other hand, you can also turn on the function separately for a cooking program if you have selected the Booster | Off setting. Example: You have selected an operating mode and the required settings such as the temperature. You want to turn off the Booster function for this cooking program. Drag down the pull-down menu. Booster is highlighted in orange. Select Booster. Depending on the color scheme, Booster is highlighted in either black or white. Close the pull-down menu. The Booster function is turned off during the preheating phase. Only the heating elements for the selected operating mode are used to preheat the oven compartment.

Operation

Preheat You can place most dishes in the cold oven compartment to make use of the heat produced during the preheating phase.
If you have set a cooking duration, it will only start to count down when the target temperature is reached and you have placed the food in the oven. Start the cooking program immediately without delaying the start time.
Turning on Preheat The Preheat function has to be turned on separately for each cooking program. Example: You have selected an operating mode and the required settings such as the temperature. You want to turn on the Preheat function for this cooking program. Drag down the pull-down menu. Depending on the color scheme, Preheat is highlighted in either black or white. Select Preheat. Preheat is highlighted in orange. Close the pull-down menu. The following message will be displayed with a time: Place food in oven at . The oven compartment is heated to the set temperature. As soon as you are prompted to do
so, place the food in the oven. Confirm with OK.

Crisp function
The Crisp function function (moisture reduction) allows moisture to be removed from the oven as required during the entire cooking process or at times during the process. It is a good idea to use this function when cooking items which have a moist topping, e.g., quiche, pizza, tray bakes with fresh fruit toppings, or muffins. Poultry in particular gets a nice crisp skin with this function. The Crisp function function can be used in the following operating modes: – Convection Bake – Convection Roast – Surround – Intensive – Bake – Browning – Convection Broil – Humidity Plus

Operation

Turning on Crisp function The Crisp function function has to be turned on separately for each cooking program. You have selected an operating mode and the required settings such as the temperature. You want to turn on the Crisp function function for this cooking program. Drag down the pull-down menu. Depending on the color scheme, Crisp function is highlighted in either black or white. Select Crisp function. Crisp function is highlighted in orange. Close the pull-down menu. The Crisp function function is turned on. The Crisp function function can be turned off again at any time via the pull-down menu.

Injecting bursts of steam
You can release bursts of steam during the cooking process in all oven operating modes. The number of bursts of steam is unlimited. You can release a burst of steam as soon as Burst of steam appears and Start is shown in green.
Please wait until the heating-up phase is completed to allow the steam to be distributed evenly in the warm air in the oven. Select Start. The burst of steam will be released. This will take approximately 1 minute. Proceed as described to release fur-
ther bursts of steam once Start is shown in green again.

Changing the operating mode
You can change to another operating mode during a cooking program. Tap the symbol for the selected oper-
ating mode. If you have set a cooking duration,
confirm the Cancel program? message with Yes. Select the new operating mode. The new operating mode will appear on the display with its corresponding recommended values. Set the values for the cooking program and confirm with OK.

Operation

General notes

The “General Notes” 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 color.
Suitable containers
Cooking containers Stainless-steel cooking containers are provided with the 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 meal you are preparing. Use perforated cooking containers for steam cooking if possible. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.

Your own dishware You can also use your own dishware. However, please note the following: – Dishware must be suitable for use in
an oven and able to withstand steam. With plastic dishware, please check with the manufacturer that it is suitable for use in a steam oven. – Thick-sided dishware made from porcelain, ceramic, or stoneware is not very suitable for using with steam. Due to its thick sides, it does not conduct heat well, meaning cooking durations will be considerably longer than those given in the charts. – Place the dishware on the wire rack or in a cooking container. Depending on the size of the dishware, you can also place the wire rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the rack surface facing up and the dishware on top. You can also take the side racks out to make more room (see “Cleaning the side racks” under “Cleaning and care for the steam oven”). – Ensure that there is a gap between the upper rim of the dishware and the top of the oven compartment to allow sufficient steam into the dishware.

General notes

Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration. When using more than one deep cooking container at the same time, it is best to offset them on their runners and to leave at least one level free in between them. Always insert cooking containers and the rack between the rails of the shelf level supports 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 preheating phase.
Temperature
During steam cooking, the temperature does not exceed 212°F (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. 2 lb (1 kg) of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 1 lb (500 g) of potatoes.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking pan ²/ full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking pan is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes – Steam cooking
Food and recipes which are prepared in pot or a pan can also be cooked in the steam oven. The cooking times in the steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be brown or crisp when cooking with steam.

General notes
Universal tray and wire rack
Use the universal tray with the wire rack placed on top of it, e.g., for roasting and broiling. 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 wire rack on top, insert the universal tray between the rails of a shelf level and the wire rack will automatically slide in above them. When removing them from the oven, pull both out together. Non-tip safety notches The wire rack and universal tray have non-tip safety notches in the middle 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.

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

Steam cooking

Vegetables
Fresh food 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 pan 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 1-2″ (3-5 cm) deep. When cooking large quantities divide the food between 2 or 3 shallow containers rather than using one deep one. Different types of vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together in one cooking pan. Use solid containers for vegetables which are cooked in liquid, e.g. cabbage.

Shelf level When cooking vegetables with a distinctive color (e.g. beets) in a perforated container at the same time as cooking other foods in other containers, place the drip tray directly underneath the perforated container to catch any drips and therefore avoid any color transfer.
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: White potatoes, cut into quarters: approx. 17 minutes White potatoes, cut in half: approx. 20 minutes

Steam cooking

Fish
Fresh food Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and filet.
Frozen food Frozen fish should be slightly defrosted before cooking.
Preparing for use Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm. It is not necessary to season fish when cooking with steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish its unique flavor.
Cooking pans If using a perforated pan, 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 185195°F (8590°C) For gently cooking delicate types of fish, such as sole. 212°F (100°C) For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g. cod and salmon. Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.
Cooking duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the consistency of the food, and not on the weight. The thicker the piece of food is, the longer cooking will take. A piece of fish weighing 1 lb (500 g) that is 1″ (3 cm) thick will take longer to cook than a piece weighing 1 lb (500 g) and only 1/2″ (2 cm) thick. The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh will become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart. If you find that the fish is not cooked sufficiently only cook it for a few minutes more. When cooking fish in sauce or stock, we recommend that you increase the cooking duration quoted by a few minutes.

Steam cooking
Tips – Adding herbs and spices, such as
dill, will help bring out the full flavor of the fish. – Cook large fish in the swimming position. To help maintain the structure of the fish, place a small cup or similar upside down in the cooking container. Arrange the fish 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 212°F (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. Settings Automatic Programs | Fish | … | Steam

Meat
Fresh food Prepare the meat as usual.
Frozen food Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking in the steam oven (see “Defrost” under “Special Modes”).
Preparation For meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. for a stew, sear the meat in a pan on the cooktop first.
Cooking duration The cooking time depends on the thickness and consistency of the food. The thicker the meat, the longer the cooking time. The thicker the piece of food is, the longer cooking will take. A piece of fish weighing 1 lb (500 g) that is 4″ (10 cm) thick will take longer to cook than a piece weighing 1 lb (500 g) and only 2″ (5 cm) thick.

Tips – To retain the flavor, 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.

Rice
Rice swells when cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The proportion of rice to liquid will vary depending on the type of rice. The rice absorbs all the liquid during the cooking process so that none of the nutrients are lost.

Pasta/noodles

Dry pasta Dry pasta swell when cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The liquid must cover the pasta by at least 1″. Cook pasta according to package directions.

Fresh food Fresh pasta and noodles, such as those you can buy from the supermarket chilled counter, do not need to absorb water. Cook in a greased, perforated container. Separate any pieces of pasta or noodles which have stuck together and spread them out in the cooking container.

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

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

Mussels

Fresh food
Danger of food poisoning from spoiled mussels.
Spoiled mussels can cause food poisoning. Only cook mussels which are closed. Do not eat mussels which have not opened after being cooked.

Steep fresh mussels in water for a few hours before cooking to rinse out any sand. Then scrub the mussels thoroughly to clean them.
Frozen food Defrost frozen mussels before cooking.

Menu Cooking – Manual
Before cooking meals with the manual menu cooking function, turn off steam reduction (see “Steam reduction” under “Settings”).
When cooking a menu, you can combine different foods with different cooking durations, e.g., fish filet 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 color (e.g., beetroot) directly above the universal tray. This avoids any transfer of flavor or color to other food and prevents liquid dripping onto food below it. Temperature Whole meals should be cooked at a temperature of 212°F (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. 185°F (85°C) for seabream and 212°F (100°C) for potatoes. If the recommended cooking temperature for the food is 185°F (85°C), for example, try cooking it at 212°F (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 212°F (100°C).

Cooking duration If you are increasing the recommended temperature, shorten the cooking duration by approx. ¹/.

Example Food cooking durations (see cooking charts in “Steam cooking”)

Parboiled rice Tilapia filet Broccoli

24 minutes 6 minutes 4 minutes

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

Cooking duration

24 min. rice 6 min. tilapia filet

4 min. broccoli

Setting 18 min. 2 min. 4 min.

Cooking a whole menu Place the rice in the oven first. Set the first cooking duration: 18 min-
utes. After the 18 minutes, place the fish in
the oven. Set the second cooking duration:
2 minutes. After the 2 minutes, place the broc-
coli in the oven. Set the third cooking duration: 4 min-
utes.

Steam cooking

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Always observe USDA/CFIA food safety guidelines. This gentle cooking method allows food to be cooked slowly at a low, constant temperature in vacuum packaging. With vacuum cooking, moisture does not evaporate and all nutrients and flavors are retained. The result is flavorful and cooked evenly.

Only use food that is fresh and in 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 bags. Do not cook food in the manufacturers packaging, such as vacuumpacked frozen food. It is possible that an unsuitable vacuum bag was used. Use the vacuum bag only once.
Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber system vacuum sealer only.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Important usage notes
For the best cooking results: – Use herbs and spices more sparingly
than with conventional methods because the impact on the taste of the food will be stronger. You can also cook the food unseasoned and add seasoning after cooking. – The cooking duration is reduced when salt, sugar, and liquids are added. – The food becomes firmer if acidic ingredients such as lemon or vinegar are added. – Do not use alcohol or garlic as this can cause an unpleasant taste. – Only use vacuum bags that match the size of the food. If the vacuum bag is too big, too much air can remain inside. – If you want to cook several pieces of food in one vacuum bag, put them side by side in the bag. – If you want to cook food in several vacuum bags at once, put the bags side by side on the wire rack. – The cooking durations depend on the thickness of the food. – With high temperatures and/or long cooking durations, the appliance may run low on water. Check the display from time to time.

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

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Tips
– In order to reduce cooking times, you can vacuum-seal food items 12 days before the cooking program. Store the vacuum-sealed food in the refrigerator at no more than 40°F (5°C). In order to preserve quality and flavor, the food should be cooked no later than 2 days afterward.
– Freeze liquids such as marinades before vacuum-sealing to prevent them from escaping from the bag.
– Fold the edges of the vacuum bag outward 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 40°F (5°C). This way, you can retain the food’s quality and flavor while keeping it fresh for longer. Exception: poultry must be eaten straight after the cooking program.
– After cooking, cut the vacuum bag on all
