Warning and Safety instructions  
Correct use  
Danger of burning.  
~
The steam oven becomes hot when in use.  
You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior,  
cooked food, oven accessories or hot steam.  
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it and  
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Take care when  
putting cooking containers into the oven or removing them not to  
spill the contents.  
Do not bottle or heat up food in sealed containers in the oven, as  
~
pressure can build up in the container causing it to explode.  
You could injure yourself on the open oven door or trip over it.  
~
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.  
Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the appliance  
~
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not put  
the flames out with water.  
Switch the oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames  
carefully using a suitable lid or fire blanket.  
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.  
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the door if smoke  
~
occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching the  
appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do  
not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.  
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high  
~
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can  
catch fire on hot heating elements.

Description of the functions  
Water container  
The maximum water level is 1.2 litres, the minimum 0.75 litres.  
These levels are indicated on the container. Do not exceed  
the maximum level.  
The amount of water required for cooking will depend on the  
type of food and how long it needs to cook. Opening the door  
during cooking will increase the amount used.  
Fill the water container to the maximum level before each use.  
Depending on the food being cooked you may need to refill  
the water container after 90 minutes. The appliance will  
advise you when there is insufficient water in the container.  
Grease filter  
The grease filter in the oven ceiling must be fitted for every  
programme.  
Fit the grease filter in the back wall for all roasting  
programmes.  
It should be removed when using steam programmes.  
It must also be removed when baking, as otherwise results  
can be uneven. (Exception: fit the grease filter in the back  
wall when baking open deep fresh fruit flans, e.g. plum or  
damson or pizza with lots of topping).  
Temperature  
Some functions have a default recommended temperature.  
This temperature can be altered for the programme in use, or  
for every time that programme is used (see "Settings >  
Recommended temperatures").

Description of the functions  
Cooking duration (time)  
Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of  
between 1 minute and 6, 10 or 12 hours.  
The duration of the Automatic, Maintenance and Menu  
cooking programmes is set at the factory and cannot be  
altered.  
On functions and programmes that use steam alone, the  
cooking duration does not start to count down until the set  
temperature has been reached. It begins immediately with all  
other functions and programmes.  
Moisture  
The Combination mode and Reheat functions use a  
combination of oven function and moisture. You can alter the  
moisture level within a given range for an individual cooking  
programme or a cooking stage.  
Depending on the moisture setting for the programme either  
moisture or fresh air is injected into the oven. If moisture is set  
to 20% the maximum amount of air will be injected and no  
moisture. If moisture is set to 100% air will not be injected into  
the oven and the maximum amount of moisture will be  
injected.  
The appliance calculates the amount of moisture in the oven.  
The amount of moisture in the food will affect the amount of  
moisture the oven needs.  
Some food gives off moisture during the cooking process.  
This moisture from the food also controls the amount of  
moisture needed. If the required amount of moisture is very  
low and the food already contains a lot of water the steam  
generator may not be activated at all.

Description of the functions  
Noises  
You will hear a humming sound when the appliance is  
switched on, during operation and after it has been switched  
off.  
This sound does not indicate a malfunction or fault with the  
appliance.  
Sounds similar to a kettle boiling occur when steam is being  
generated.  
Heating-up phase  
While the appliance is heating up to the temperature which  
has been set, the display will show "Heating-up" and the  
temperature in the cooking compartment as it rises in all  
programmes except for Automatic ones, Menu cooking,  
Reheat and Maintenance.  
Steam cooking  
When cooking with steam, the duration of the heating-up  
phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the  
food. In general the heating-up phase will last for approx.  
7 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are cooking  
refrigerated or frozen food.  
Steam reduction  
with steam programmes  
The steam reduction function will switch on automatically at  
the end of a cooking programme which uses a temperature of  
over 70 °C. This reduces the amount of steam which escapes  
when the door is opened. "Steam reduction" will appear in the  
display in addition to "Process finished".  
This function can be switched off if you wish (see "Settings >  
Steam reduction").

Description of the functions  
Keeping warm  
with steam programmes  
If you wish to use this function you will need to alter the  
default setting (see "Settings").  
If the steam oven is not switched off at the end of a cooking  
programme, the keeping warm function will activate  
automatically. The food will be kept at a temperature of 70 °C  
for a maximum of 15 minutes.  
Please note that delicate food, especially fish, can continue  
cooking whilst being kept warm.  
Oven interior lighting  
For energy saving reasons, the oven compartment lighting  
has been set at the factory to go out after the programme has  
begun.  
If you want it to stay on all the time the oven is on you will  
need to alter the default setting (see "Settings > Lighting").  
If the door is left open at the end of a cooking programme the  
oven lighting will switch off automatically after 5 minutes.  
The lighting radiates heat. It will switch itself off automatically  
when you are cooking with a temperature below 50 °C.  
Touching the I sensor switches the lighting on for  
15 seconds.

Using for the first time  
Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied  
with this documentation in the space provided in the "After  
sales service, data plate, guarantee" section of this booklet.  
The appliance has undergone a function test in the factory.  
Residual water from this testing may have trickled back into  
the cabinet during transportation.  
Cleaning for the first time  
^ Remove any protective foil.  
Water container  
^ Take the water container out of the appliance and remove  
the insert (see "Cleaning and care - Water container").  
^ Rinse the water container and the insert thoroughly by  
hand using hot water. Do not use any washing-up liquid or  
detergent.  
Do not clean the water container or the insert in the  
dishwasher and do not immerse them in water.  
Accessories / Oven interior  
^ Take all accessories out of the oven. Wash them by hand  
or in the dishwasher.  
The interior of the steam oven has been treated at the factory  
with a conditioning agent.  
^ To remove this, clean the oven interior with a mild solution  
of washing-up liquid and hot water and then dry thoroughly  
with a soft cloth.  
Set the water hardness level  
The steam oven is set ex-works for hard water. It must be  
adjusted to local water hardness to ensure trouble-free  
operation and to ensure that descaling is carried out at the  
correct interval. The harder the water, the more often it will  
need to be descaled.  
^ Check the hardness of your local water supply and adjust  
the water hardness as necessary (see "Settings").

Using for the first time  
Setting the correct boiling point for water  
Before cooking food for the first time, you must set the boiling  
point for water, as this varies according to the altitude of the  
location of the appliance. This procedure also flushes out the  
waterways.  
This process must be carried out to ensure efficient  
functioning of your appliance.  
^ Run the appliance using steam cooking 2 (100 °C) for  
15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operating  
principles".  
If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for  
the new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than  
300 m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and  
care > Descaling").  
Heating up the appliance  
To remove the grease from the ring heating element, heat the  
appliance up with nothing in it at 200 °C using the Fan plus  
programme for 30 minutes. Proceed as described in  
"Operation".  
There will be a slight smell the first time the heating element is  
heated up.  
The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time,  
and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance. It is  
important to ensure that the room is well ventilated during this  
operation.

General notes  
This section contains general information. You will find more  
detailed information about particular foods and how to cook  
them in the other sections.  
Steam cooking  
The advantages of cooking with steam  
Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is  
not immersed in water.  
Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food  
better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend  
seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food also  
retains its fresh, original colour.  
Suitable containers  
Cooking containers  
This appliance is supplied with stainless steel cooking  
containers. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both  
perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (please  
refer to "Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose  
the most suitable container for the food you are preparing.  
When using the Steam cooking function use perforated  
containers where possible. These enable steam to reach food  
from all sides and help it cook evenly.  
Your own containers  
You can also use your own containers. However, please note  
the following:  
– The container must be suitable for using in an oven and  
must be steam resistant. Plastic containers can only be  
used for steam cooking if the manufacturer has stated that  
they are suitable for such use.  
– Thick sided containers are not very suitable for using with  
steam. They do not conduct heat well and as a result  
cooking durations will be considerably longer than those  
given in the charts.  
40

General notes  
– Place the cooking containers on the rack or on a suitable  
tray, and not on the oven floor.  
– Ensure that there is a gap between the upper rim of the  
container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow  
sufficient steam into the container.  
Shelf level  
You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several  
levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking  
duration.  
When using more than one deep container at the same time  
for steam cooking it is best to offset them on their runners and  
to leave at least one level free in between them.  
Temperature  
A maximum temperature of 100 °C is reached when steam  
cooking is taking place. Most types of food will cook at this  
temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as soft  
fruit, must be cooked at lower temperatures as otherwise they  
will burst. More information is given in the relevant section.  
Combination with a food warming drawer  
When the warming drawer is in use the oven cavity in the  
steam oven can get up to 40 °C. If, in this case, you set a  
temperature of 40 °C, no steam will be produced because the  
oven cavity is too warm.  
Non-tip safety notches  
The baking tray and combi rack 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 only be taken out of the oven by raising them upwards  
and then pulling them out.

General notes  
Cooking duration (time)  
In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are  
the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More  
information about any factors which may affect the cooking  
duration is given in the relevant sections.  
The quantity of food does not affect the cooking duration.  
1 kg of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 500 g.  
The durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We  
recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to  
start with. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter  
time it can be put back in the oven and cooked for longer.  
Cooking with liquid  
When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking container 2/3 full  
to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is  
removed from the oven.  
Your own recipes  
Food and recipes which are prepared in pot or a pan can  
also be cooked using steam. The cooking durations will be  
the same. Please note that food will not be browned when  
cooking with steam.

Steam cooking  
Vegetables  
Fresh  
Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean  
and cut them up.  
Frozen food  
Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand,  
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.  
Break up vegetables that have frozen together in a lump and  
follow instructions on the packaging regarding cooking  
duration.  
Cooking containers  
Food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have little or  
no space between them, will take longer to cook because the  
steam has less space to work in. For an even result, it is best  
to use a shallow container for these types of food, and only fill  
it about 3 – 5 cm deep. When cooking large quantities divide  
the food between 2 or 3 shallow containers rather than using  
one deep one.  
Different types of vegetables which take the same length of  
time to cook can be cooked together.  
Use solid containers for vegetables which are cooked in  
liquid.  
Shelf level  
When cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g  
beetroot) in a perforated container, place the perforated  
container above the condensate tray to avoid any colour  
transfer.

Steam cooking  
Duration  
As with conventional methods, when cooking vegetables with  
steam the cooking duration will depend on the size and also  
whether you want the vegetables to be al dente or soft/well  
done. Example:  
firm potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 18 minutes  
firm potatoes, cut in half = approx. 22 minutes  
Brussels sprouts, large, al dente = approx. 12 minutes  
Brussels sprouts, small, soft = approx. 12 minutes

Steam cooking  
Meat  
Fresh  
Prepare the meat in the usual way.  
Frozen food  
Preparation  
Duration  
Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking in the  
steam oven (see "Defrost").  
For meat which needs to be seared before being cooked,  
e.g. for a stew, sear the meat in a pan on the hob first.  
The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the  
texture of the meat, and not on the weight. The thicker the  
piece of meat, the longer the cooking duration. A piece of  
meat weighing 500 g which is 10 cm thick will take longer to  
cook than a piece of meat weighing 500 g which is 5 cm  
thick.  
Tips  
Use a perforated container to retain the juices when cooking  
meat, such as prime beef topside. Place a solid container  
underneath to catch the juices. You can use these to make a  
gravy or freeze them for later use.  
Boiling fowl, back or top rib and meat bones can be used to  
make stock. Place the meat together with some mixed  
vegetables in a solid cooking container and add cold water  
and cook. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the  
stock.

Steam cooking  
Fish  
Fresh  
Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet.  
Frozen food  
Preparation  
Defrost frozen fish before cooking (see "Defrosting").  
Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The  
citric acid helps the flesh stay firm.  
It is not necessary to season fish with salt when cooking with  
steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish  
its unique flavour.  
Cooking containers  
If using a perforated container, grease it first.  
Shelf level  
When cooking fish in a perforated container at the same time  
as cooking other types of food in other containers, place the  
container with the fish directly above the condensate tray to  
catch any liquid and so avoid any transfer of tastes to other  
food.  
Temperature  
85 °C – 90 °C  
For gently cooking delicate types of fish, such as sole.  
100 °C  
For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g. cod and salmon.  
Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.

Steam cooking  
Duration  
The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the  
texture of the fish, and not on the weight. The thicker the fish,  
the longer the cooking duration. A 3 cm thick piece of fish  
weighing 500 g will take longer to cook than a 2 cm thick  
piece of fish weighing 500 g.  
The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh will become. Use the  
cooking durations given in the chart.  
If you find that the fish is not cooked sufficiently only cook it  
for a few minutes more.  
When cooking fish in sauce or stock, we recommend that you  
increase the cooking duration quoted by a few minutes.  
Tips  
Adding herbs and spices, such as dill, will help bring out the  
full flavour of the fish.  
Cook large fish in the swimming position. To help maintain the  
shape of the fish, place a small cup or similar upside down in  
the cooking container, and arrange the fish bellyside down  
over the cup.  
You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish heads, bones, tails etc  
to make a fish stock. Place the fish scraps together with  
some mixed vegetables in a solid cooking container and add  
cold water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to 90 minutes. The longer  
the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.  
Blue fish is fish which is cooked in water and vinegar. It is  
important not to damage the skin of the fish. This method is  
suitable for cooking carp, trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Steam cooking  
Menu cooking (cooking whole meals)  
Before cooking meals with the Menu cooking function  
switch off the moisture reduction system (see "Settings").  
You can use the steam oven to cook a whole meal containing  
types of food which have different cooking durations, e.g. fish  
fillet with rice and broccoli. Each dish is placed in the oven at  
different times such that they are all ready at the same time.  
Shelf level  
When cooking fish or food with a distinctive colour (e.g.  
beetroot) in a perforated container, place the perforated  
container directly above the condensate tray to avoid any  
transfer of flavour or colour to other food and to prevent liquid  
dripping onto food below it.  
Temperature  
Whole meals should be cooked at a temperature of 100 °C as  
this is the temperature required to cook the majority of foods.  
Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest temperature when  
different temperatures are required for different types of food,  
e.g. 85 °C for seabream and 100 °C for potatoes.  
If the recommended cooking temperature for the food is  
85 °C for example, try cooking it at 100 °C and testing the  
result. Some delicate types of fish with a soft structure, e.g.  
sole and plaice will become very firm when cooked at 100 °C.  
Duration  
If you are increasing the recommended temperature, shorten  
the cooking duration by approx. 1/3.

Special applications  
Reheat  
The steam oven is very effective at reheating food gently,  
without drying it out or cooking it further. The food will reheat  
evenly and does not need to be stirred during the reheating  
process. You can reheat individual dishes or plated meals  
which have been prepared previously (e.g. meat, vegetables  
and potatoes).  
Suitable containers  
Small quantities can be reheated on a plate, larger quantities  
should be placed in a cooking container.  
Duration  
10–15 minutes are usually sufficient for one plate of food.  
More than one plate will need a little longer.  
If you are reheating several plated meals one after the other,  
the reheating time can be reduced by around 5 minutes for  
the second and subsequent plates as the oven will still be  
hot.  
Moisture  
The more moist the food, the less moisture needs to be  
added.  
Tips  
Food does not need to be covered before it is reheated. Do  
not reheat large items, such as a whole joint of roast meat.  
Divide it into portions and reheat these as plated meals.  
Compact items, such as stuffed peppers or roulades, should  
be cut in half. Please note that breaded items, such as  
schnitzel, will not retain their crispness when they are  
reheated. Reheat sauces separately, except for dishes such  
as stews and casseroles where the sauce is part of the dish.

Special applications  
Defrost  
It is much quicker to defrost items in the steam oven than at  
room temperature.  
Temperature  
60 °C is the best temperature for defrosting.  
Exception: 50 °C for minced meat and game  
Before and after defrosting  
Remove all packaging before defrosting. Exceptions:  
Leave bread, biscuits and cakes in their packaging as  
otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft.  
Allow defrosted food to stand at room temperature after  
removing it from the oven. The standing time is necessary to  
allow the even distribution of heat.  
Cooking containers  
Use a perforated container with the condensate tray  
underneath it when defrosting food which will drip, such as  
poultry. This way food will not be lying in defrosted liquid.  
,It is particularly important to observe food hygiene  
rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from  
defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container,  
the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning.  
Food which does not drip can be defrosted in a solid  
container.

Special applications  
Tips  
Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking.  
Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs  
and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish,  
2–5 minutes should be enough.  
When defrosting food which has frozen together, e.g. berries,  
chops, fish fillets etc. separate it about half-way through the  
defrosting time.  
Do not refreeze food once it has thawed.  
Defrost frozen pre-cooked meals according to the  
manufacturer's instructions.

Special applications  
Bottling  
Vegetables and fruit  
Only use unblemished, fresh produce which is in good  
condition for bottling.  
Glass jars  
Use clean glass jars and accessories and check them for any  
defects. Glass jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a  
rubber seal are suitable.  
Make sure that all the glass jars are the same size so that  
bottling is carried out evenly.  
After you have filled the jars with the produce, clean the rims  
with a clean cloth and hot water and then seal the jars.  
Fruit  
Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but thoroughly and allow it to  
drain. Take great care when cleaning soft fruit as it is very  
delicate and squashes easily.  
Remove any peel, stalks, cores or stones.  
Cut up large fruit. For example, cut apples into slices.  
If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g. plums, apricots)  
without removing the stones, pierce the fruit several times  
with a fork or wooden skewers as otherwise it will burst.  
Vegetables  
Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.  
Green vegetables should be blanched before bottling to help  
them retain their colour (see "Blanching").  
Fill volume  
Fill the glass jars with produce up to a maximum of 3 cm  
below the rim. Do not pack it down as this will damage the  
cell walls of the produce. Tap the jar gently onto a cloth to  
help distribute the contents evenly.  
71  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Special applications  
Fill the jars with liquid. The produce must be completely  
covered.  
Use a sugar solution for fruit and a salt or vinegar solution for  
vegetables.  
Tips  
Make use of residual heat by leaving the jars in the oven for  
30 minutes after it has switched off.  
Then cover the jars with a cloth and allow to cool for approx.  
24 hours.  
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 one another.

Special applications  
Bottling cakes  
Creamed, sponge and yeast dough mixtures are all suitable  
for bottling. Cakes will keep for approx. 6 months.  
Cakes made with fresh fruit are not suitable for long term  
storage, and must be consumed within 2 days of being  
made.  
Glass jars  
Only use clean glass jars and accessories which are in  
perfect condition. Jars should be narrower at the bottom than  
the top. 0.25 litre jars are the most suitable for bottling cakes.  
Jars must have a glass lid with metal spring clamp to seal  
them.  
Make sure that all the glass jars are the same size so that  
bottling is carried out evenly.  
Procedure  
^ Grease the inside of the jars with butter up to 1 cm below  
the rim.  
^ Sprinkle inside the jars with fine breadcrumbs.  
^ Fill the jars 1/2 to 3/4 full with cake mixture (depending on  
recipe). Make sure the rim stays clean.  
^ Place the rack on the lowest shelf level.  
^ Place the jars on the rack (all the same size) without lids  
on. Ensure that they do not touch one another.  
^ Close the jars immediately after bottling by clamping the  
glass lid down securely. Do not let the cakes cool down.  
If the mixture has risen above the rim, it can be pushed  
back down into the jar with the glass lid.

Special applications  
Extracting juice with steam  
You can use the steam oven to extract juices from soft fruit,  
such as berries and cherries.  
It is best to use overripe fruit, as the riper the fruit the greater  
the quantity of juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also  
produce a more intense flavour.  
Preparation  
Sort and clean the fruit. Cut out any blemishes.  
Remove the stalks from grapes and morello cherries as these  
are bitter. The stalks do not need to be removed from  
raspberries etc.  
Tips  
Try experimenting with mild and tart fruit.  
Adding sugar will increase the quantity of juice produced and  
improve the flavour. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar and leave to  
absorb for a few hours before juicing. For 1 kg of sweet fruit  
add 50–100 g of sugar, and for 1 kg of tart fruit add  
100–150 g of sugar.  
If you wish to bottle the juice rather than consume it straight  
away, pour it whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles, and then  
seal immediately with sterilised tops.  
Procedure  
^ Put the prepared fruit (cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into  
a perforated cooking container.  
^ Place a solid container or the condensate tray underneath  
to catch the juice.

Making yoghurt  
To make yoghurt, you will need either fresh live yoghurt or  
yoghurt culture, obtainable from health food shops.  
Use natural yoghurt with live culture and without additives.  
Heat-treated yoghurt is not suitable.  
The yoghurt must be fresh (short storage time)  
You can use either unchilled long-life or fresh milk. Long-life  
milk can be used without any further treatment. Fresh milk  
must first be heated to 90 °C and then cooled down to 35 °C.  
Do not boil it. Fresh milk will give a better set than long-life  
milk.  
The yoghurt and milk should have the same percentage fat.  
Do not move or shake the jars whilst the yoghurt is thickening.  
Immediately after preparation leave the yoghurt to cool in the  
fridge.  
How well home prepared yoghurt sets will depend on the  
consistency, fat content and the cultures used in the starter  
yogurt. Not all yoghurts are suitable for use as starter yoghurt.  
Possible reasons for unsatisfactory results  
Yoghurt has not set:  
Incorrect storage of starter yoghurt, too much time out of the  
refrigerator, e.g. in transportation, damaged packaging, milk  
not sufficiently heated.  
Liquid has separated:  
The jars were moved, yoghurt was not cooled down quickly  
enough.  
Yoghurt is gritty:  
Milk was overheated or in poor condition, milk and starter  
yoghurt not evenly stirred.

Disinfect items  
The steam oven can be used to disinfect baby bottles and  
other containers so that at the end of the programme they are  
as germ free as they would have been had they been boiled.  
Check beforehand that all parts, teats etc. are declared by  
the manufacturer to be heat resistant to 100 °C and also that  
they can withstand hot steam.  
All parts of the bottles must be completely dry before they are  
reassembled to keep them germ free.  
Procedure  
^ Dismantle, clean and thoroughly rinse baby bottles.  
Place the individual parts on the rack or in a perforated  
container, ensuring that they do not touch one another (on  
their sides or with the opening facing downwards) to allow  
hot steam to reach them from all sides.

Roasting  
General information  
Please ensure that both grease filters are inserted in the  
oven.  
Frozen meat must be defrosted before it is cooked. Never  
cook from frozen.  
In general, it is best to place the meat directly on the rack  
and place the condensate tray underneath. This will ensure  
that the meat cooks evenly on all sides and the meat juices  
which collect in the condensate tray can be used to make a  
gravy or a sauce.  
Allow a standing time of approx. 10 minutes before carving  
meat to allow the meat juices to be evenly distributed.  
You do not need to preheat the oven for roasting. The meat is  
placed in a cold oven.  
Fan plus  
We recommend roasting in combination with steam: This  
prevents lean meat from drying out; fat splashes will be  
minimal and so keep the oven compartment cleaner.

Roasting  
Combination mode  
The cooking durations for combination mode are longer than  
durations in a conventional oven as combination mode  
cooking is carried out at lower temperatures.  
The lower the temperature in the cooking compartment  
compared to the core temperature, the longer the cooking  
process and therefore the more tender the result.  
Excellent results are achieved with lean meat by first  
browning the meat at a high temperature with very little  
moisture (cooking stage 1) and then cooking the meat to the  
end using a lower temperature (cooking stage 2). The time it  
takes will depend on how thick the meat is.  
When roasting fatty meat with crackling, use a high  
temperature in the first stage to render the fat and brown the  
crackling.  
Reduce the temperature and increase the moisture for the  
second stage. This helps the meat cook slowly and evenly,  
breaking down the fibres to leave the meat nice and tender.  
In the third stage, increase the temperature to get the  
crackling crispy.  
For braised meats, cooking stage 1 should be carried out at a  
high temperature with very little moisture and cooking stage 2  
should then be carried out using a lower temperature with  
more moisture over a longer period to complete the cooking  
process. This will give tender results.

Baking  
General information  
Handling and preparing food correctly is essential for  
maintaining good health. Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc.  
until they are golden brown. Do not overcook them.  
Remove the grease filter from the back wall. Otherwise results  
can be uneven. (Exception: Flans with a deep, fresh fruit  
filling, e.g. plums or damsons, pizza with lots of topping).  
We recommend using Combination mode with 20 % moisture  
for pizza and cakes with moist toppings.  
Bake cakes in rectangular tins with the longer side across the  
width of the oven for optimum heat distribution and even  
results.  
Dark-coloured tins are best for baking.  
These conduct the heat more swiftly to the mixture. Shiny  
metal tins reflect heat so cakes take longer to cook and do  
not brown evenly.  
Bake on a maximum of two levels at the same time.  
When baking on 2 levels at the same time use shelf levels 2  
and 4. If you are using the condensate tray for baking on  
please use it on shelf level 2 and place the baking tray on  
shelf level 4 for best results.  
Grease and flour the baking tray when baking bread and  
rolls.

Baking  
Fan plus  
When baking cakes with a moist topping only bake on one  
level.  
When baking cakes with a deep fresh fruit filling, e.g. plum or  
damson, use the condensate tray. As it has higher sides than  
the baking tray fruit juice is less likely to spill over and the  
oven will stay cleaner.  
When baking deep frozen products such as chips,  
croquettes, cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the lowest  
temperature quoted on the manufacturer's packaging.  
When using Fan plus, reduce the temperatures given for  
Conventional heat by about 20 °C.

Items made with shortcrust do well with 95 % moisture.  
The gleaming finish on bread, rolls and puff pastry is  
achieved by adding steam (maximum moisture, low  
temperature) in cooking stage 1. Browning is achieved using  
a high moisture level and a high temperature. The drying out  
phase takes place with low moisture and a high temperature.  
Bake part-baked rolls with 90 % moisture at the temperature  
given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Automatic programmes  
Your appliance has a wide range of Automatic programmes.  
Each one contains the relevant cooking function, temperature  
and duration. All you have to do is select the Automatic  
programme you want and select how well done you want the  
food cooked.  
The degree of doneness and browning levels are shown in a  
bar graph with seven segments. The factory default is always  
the middle setting. It will be highlighted. To change the  
setting simply move the highlighting to the left or the right.  
The weight entry in the Automatic programmes refers to the  
weight per piece. For example, you can cook just one piece  
of salmon weighing 250 g or 10 pieces of salmon weighing  
250 g at the same time.  
In some programmes you will be prompted about which shelf  
level to use and when to add food to the oven. Follow and  
confirm these instructions.  
The oven interior needs to be at room temperature before  
starting an Automatic programme.  
When placing food in an already hot steam oven, be very  
careful when opening the door. Hot steam can escape. Step  
back from the steam oven and wait until the steam has  
dissipated.  
When putting cooking containers or the baking tray into the  
oven or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents.  
Avoid contact with hot steam, and do not touch the hot oven  
interior walls. Danger of burning and scalding.  
You can delay the start by selecting the "Start at" or the  
"Ready at" option.  
To finish an Automatic programme early you have to switch  
the appliance off.  
If by the end of an Automatic programme the food is not  
cooked enough, select X and the Continue cooking function.  
Automatic programmes can also be saved as "User  
programmes".

Cleaning and care  
,Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this  
appliance. The steam could reach the electrical  
components and cause a short circuit.  
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and  
allow it to cool down to a safe temperature before cleaning.  
The appliance and accessories should be cleaned and dried  
thoroughly after each use.  
Make sure the appliance is completely dry before closing the  
door.  
If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of  
time, e.g. whilst on holiday, it should be thoroughly cleaned  
beforehand to prevent the build-up of odours etc. Leave the  
door open afterwards.  
Do not use commercial cleaning agents. Only use agents  
designed for domestic use.  
Do not use cleaning agents or washing-up liquids  
containing aliphatic hydrocarbons as these could cause  
the seals to swell.

Cleaning and care  
Appliance front  
Remove any soiling immediately.  
If this is not done, it might become impossible to remove  
and could cause the surface to alter or discolour.  
Clean the front with a clean sponge and a solution of hot  
water and washing-up liquid. After cleaning dry with a soft  
cloth.  
A clean, damp microfibre cloth without cleaning agent can  
also be used.  
All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Scratches on  
glass surfaces could even cause a breakage.  
Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or  
discolour the surfaces.  
To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not  
use:  
– cleaning agents containing soda, alkalines, ammonia,  
acids or chlorides,  
– cleaning agents containing descaling agents,  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream  
cleaners,  
– solvent-based cleaning agents,  
– stainless steel cleaning agents,  
– dishwasher cleaner,  
– oven sprays,  
– glass cleaning agents,  
– hard, abrasive sponges and brushes, e.g. pot scourers,  
– melamine eraser blocks,  
– sharp metal scrapers.

Cleaning and care  
Accessories  
Condensate tray, rack, cooking containers and baking tray  
Wash and dry the condensate tray, rack, cooking containers  
and baking tray after each use. They are all dishwasher safe.  
Use a little vinegar to remove any bluish discolouration from  
cooking containers.  
You could also use the Miele ceramic and stainless steel hob  
cleaner (see "Optional accessories"). Rinse the containers  
thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual cleaning  
agent.  
Side runners  
The runners have been treated with PerfectClean enamel.  
Please refer to the section on "PerfectClean" for more  
information.  
Do not clean them in the dishwasher.  
Please remove  
– light soiling with a sponge and a solution of washing-up  
liquid and hot water.  
– heavier soiling with a non-scouring washing-up sponge  
and a solution of washing-up liquid and hot water. If  
necessary, the pad on the reverse of the sponge can be  
used.  
^ After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry  
with a soft cloth.  
124  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Cleaning and care  
To remove the side runners  
^ Pull out the fixing knob as far as possible. Remove each  
runner by first pulling it to the side a and then out from the  
back b.  
^ To re-fit the runners, reverse the above procedure: first fit  
them into the back of the oven and then push them in at the  
sides.  
Grease filter  
Clean the grease filters after every roasting programme with a  
solution of washing-up liquid and hot water or in the  
dishwasher.  
^ Pull the grease filter on the back panel upwards to remove  
it.  
If the grease filter from the back wall is cleaned in the  
dishwasher, results are better if it is placed horizontally in the  
basket. Some dishwasher detergents may cause the surface  
of the filter to discolour. This discolouration will not affect the  
functioning of the filter in any way.

before replacing it in the water container. When replacing  
the insert, guide it in at an angle a and then push it  
downwards b as illustrated.  
Do not immerse the water container in water or clean it in  
a dishwasher.  
It is important to empty the water container after each use  
for hygiene reasons, and also to prevent condensate  
building up in the appliance.  
Do not use scouring pads or hard brushes.

Cleaning and care  
Coupling seal  
If, after prolonged use, the water container becomes difficult  
to remove and replace or the fault message F20 appears, rub  
a small amount of the silicone grease supplied (see "Guide to  
the appliance / Accessories supplied") into the inside of the  
coupling seal. Do not take the seal out to lubricate it!  
When handling silicone grease, please observe the following  
safety measures:  
– Remove any silicone grease from your skin either by  
wiping it off or by washing it off.  
– If the grease gets into the eyes, it must be rinsed out with  
plenty of clean water.  
– If it is swallowed, seek medical advice.  
The coupling seal should be replaced with a new one if it  
becomes brittle or porous or if an unusually large amount of  
water collects on the floor of the water container  
compartment.  
Coupling seals can be ordered from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department.  
Only use the silicone grease supplied. On no account  
must margarine or oil or any other domestic grease or fat  
be used, as these can cause the seal to swell.

Cleaning and care  
Oven interior  
The oven interior is made from stainless steel which has been  
treated with a special finish called PerfectClean. Please see  
"PerfectClean" in the section on Cleaning and care.  
The oven door and the side runners can be removed to make  
it easier to clean the oven interior.  
After a programme using steam  
Please remove

interior with a soft cloth. You can then leave the oven to dry  
automatically (see "Maintenance / Drying").  
After a roasting or baking programme  
Clean the oven thoroughly after roasting, grilling and baking  
as otherwise soiling can burn on and become impossible to  
remove.  
Remove light soiling with a non-scouring washing-up  
sponge and a solution of washing-up liquid and hot water. If  
necessary, the pad on the reverse of the sponge can be  
used.  
Rinse or wipe surfaces clean afterwards and then dry with a  
soft cloth.  
Soaking the soiling for a few minutes with a solution of  
washing-up liquid and hot water can make cleaning easier.  
Alternatively run the "Maintenance / Soak" programme (see  
"Maintenance").  
Do not use oven spray as you will not be able to remove  
all residual chemicals.

Cleaning and care  
Floor heater  
After prolonged use, the floor heater can become discoloured  
by drops of liquid. This discolouration can be removed with a  
non-abrasive stainless steel spiral pad.  
Door seal  
Grease deposits on the seal between the inside of the oven  
door and the oven interior can cause it to become brittle and  
cracked. Clean the door seal after every baking or roasting  
programme using a clean, damp microfibre cloth or a clean  
sponge and a solution of washing-up liquid and hot water.  
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.  
Replace the seal with a new one if it becomes porous or  
brittle. Door seals can be ordered from the Miele Spare Parts  
Department.  
PerfectClean  
The oven interior and side runners are made from stainless  
steel which has been treated with a special PerfectClean  
finish which gives the surface an iridescent appearance.  
PerfectClean surfaces have very good non-stick properties  
and are easy to clean.  
However, it is very important to clean the surfaces each time  
the oven is used. The surface will become harder to clean  
and the non-stick properties will deteriorate if soiling is not  
removed after each use and allowed to build up.  
Soiling such as spilt juices and cake mixtures are best  
removed whilst the oven or tray is still warm. Exercise caution,  
make sure the oven is not hot.  
Spilt fruit juices may cause lasting discolouration of the  
surfaces. This discolouration is permanent but will not affect  
the efficiency of the surface.

Cleaning and care  
Remove residual cleaning agent after cleaning. If left it will  
reduce the non-stick properties of the PerfectClean  
surfaces.  
To protect the non-stick effect of PerfectClean surfaces  
please avoid:  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream  
cleaners,  
– cleaning agents for ceramic hobs,  
– ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner,  
– wire wool or metal scourers,  
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which  
have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,  
– oven spray must not be used in a hot oven or left on for too  
long,  
– cleaning in a dishwasher,  
– spot cleaning.

Descaling  
For optimum cleaning results we recommend that you use  
Miele descaling tablets to descale your steam oven (see  
"Optional accessories"). A proprietary citric acid based  
descaling agent can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's  
instructions on the packaging regarding safety and dosage.  
Ensure that the descaling agent does not come into  
contact with the metal surfaces as this could cause marks.  
Wipe descaling agent away immediately.  
The appliance needs to be descaled after a certain number  
of operating hours. When it needs descaling the number 10  
will appear in the display when the appliance is switched on.  
The number indicates that the appliance can be used 10  
more times before it has to be descaled.  
The appliance will lock after the last remaining cooking  
process and it must be descaled before it is used again. We  
recommend descaling before it locks out.  
^ Switch the appliance on and select "Further programmes >  
Maintenance > Descale".  
^ Fill the water container with 1.0 litre of fresh tap water and  
add the correct amount of descaler.  
^ Push the water container into the appliance until it  
connects.  
^ Confirm the message shown with "OK".  
The descaling process will now begin. and the time  
remaining will count down in the display.  
It is only possible to cancel the descaling process during  
the first minute.  
Do not switch the appliance off during the descaling  
process. If if is switched off before the end of the process,  
the whole process will have to be started from the  
beginning again.  
The water container will need emptying and refilling with fresh  
tap water during descaling.  
Follow the instructions in the display.
