oven. The moisture in the food can  
lead to corrosion in the appliance.  
The appliance is designed in such  
a way that there will always be a  
little residual water left in the water  
container after use. If there is no  
residual water, there is something

Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of your  
old appliance with your household  
waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for disposal  
and can normally be recycled.  
Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene  
and plastic wrappings, must be kept  
out of the reach of babies and young  
children. Danger of suffocation.  
Dispose of or recycle all packaging  
materials safely as soon as possible.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre and ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
It should be unplugged or  
disconnected from the mains electricity  
supply by a competent person. If  
connected by a plug, the plug must be  
rendered useless and the cable cut off  
directly behind the appliance to prevent  
misuse.

Using for the first time  
Cleaning and heating up for the first time  
Take the water container out of the appliance and remove the  
insert (see "Cleaning and care"). 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 a  
dishwasher. Do not immerse the water container in water.  
Take all accessories out of the steam oven and wash them in  
a mild solution of washing-up liquid and hot water or in the  
dishwasher (this does not apply to the water container and  
insert - see above).  
The interior of the steam oven has been treated with a  
conditioning agent before leaving the factory. To remove this,  
clean the cooking compartment with a mild solution of  
washing up liquid and hot water and then dry thoroughly with  
a soft cloth.  
Now fill the water container with mains tap water (see "Before  
each use") and then run the Cook Universal (100 °C) for 15  
minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation".  
This process flushes out the waterways and sets the  
appliance for the altitude in your area.  
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").  
Warning! A lot of steam will be emitted from the appliance the  
first time it is used, and the first time it is descaled after  
moving house.

Operation  
Before each use  
^ Always use both hands when  
carrying the water container, and  
push it into the appliance until it  
connects. Take care not to let any  
water spill out.  
^ When using a perforated cooking  
container, push the condensate tray  
onto the lowest shelf runner to catch  
any drips.  
^ Fill the water container.  
You do not need to remove the insert.  
Only use mains tap water. Never  
use distilled or mineral water.  
The water level must be between the  
two markings (min. 0.75 l and max.  
1.2 l). These are located inside and  
outside the container. On no account  
exceed the upper or maximum level  
marker. The amount of water required  
will vary depending on what you are  
cooking.  
The maximum quantity of 1.2 litres of  
water is sufficient to run the Cook  
Universal 100 °C function for approx.  
2 hours, providing the door is not  
opened. The water level in the water  
container is represented by a symbol in  
the display.  
Using hot water will shorten the  
heating-up time.

amount of food, but on the size of the food. For example,  
large potatoes will take longer to cook than smaller potatoes.  
To achieve good results using the durations quoted, please  
do not cook quantities of food for more than 8-10 servings.  
Cooking durations will also vary depending on the cooking  
container used (see "Suitable containers").

Practical tips  
Suitable containers  
You will find various tips on how to use  
the steam oven in the following sections  
or in the cook book.  
Some stainless steel cooking  
containers are supplied with the  
appliance. Other containers, in a variety Heat-resistant glass, ceramic,  
of sizes, both perforated and solid, are  
available as optional extras.  
porcelain, stainless steel and enamel  
dishes are all suitable. Important:  
When choosing the most suitable  
container for the particular food you are  
cooking, please note:  
– If using plastic cooking containers,  
make sure that they are  
heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to  
withstand hot steam.  
– Use perforated cooking containers  
whenever possible, e.g. for  
– Food will take considerably longer to  
cook than the time quoted if the dish  
has thick sides.  
vegetables. The steam can reach the  
food from all sides and the food is  
cooked evenly.  
– Place the container on the rack  
supplied.  
– With large items of food, such as  
whole potatoes, the steam can work  
effectively because there are spaces  
between the individual pieces into  
which the steam can penetrate. This  
way a large quantity will take the  
same time to cook as a smaller  
amount and large, deep containers  
can be used. Where possible, space  
the food out to allow the steam more  
room.  
– Ensure that there is a gap of at least  
3 cm between the upper rim of the  
container and the top of the cooking  
compartment to allow sufficient  
steam into the container.  
– More compact dishes such as  
casseroles or bakes, or 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. The fuller the container, the  
longer it will take to cook. It is best to  
use 2 or 3 shallow containers rather  
than one deep one for these types of  
foods, and then fill them only 3-5 cm  
deep. Cooking durations quoted are  
calculated on this principle. Deeper  
dishes will take longer to cook.

Practical tips  
Tips on steaming  
– Frozen fish should be partially  
defrosted before cooking. We  
recommend using the "Defrost"  
function (see "Defrosting" for more  
information).  
– In general, the cooking durations for  
cooking with steam are the same as  
for cooking food in a saucepan.  
– Steam prevents food from drying out  
so it remains moist, and juices are  
not lost. This applies to a wide variety  
of food, including dumplings, steam  
puddings, fish and meat dishes, as  
well as vegetables.  
– Cooking with steam retains the true  
taste of the food better than  
conventional cooking. Therefore food  
should not be seasoned until after it  
has been cooked.  
– Only fill solid containers 3/4 full with  
liquid.  
– You can select any shelf level. You  
can also cook on several levels at  
the same time. This will not alter the  
cooking duration.  
– Dried foods like pasta and rice must  
be cooked in liquid. Pasta should be  
well covered with liquid. With pulses,  
grains, parboiled rice, basmati rice  
and wild rice, the proportion of food  
to liquid should be 1:1, with brown  
rice 1:1.5 and risotto rice 1:2.  
– Food does not brown or get crisp  
from over-cooking. It is gently  
steamed, and not roasted or baked.  
Cheese melts perfectly without  
getting burnt. It is a healthy way of  
cooking, and it brings out the distinct – When cooking noodles, follow the  
flavour of the food.  
manufacturer's instructions on the  
packaging regarding cooking  
duration.  
– When cooking frozen food, e.g.  
vegetables, ensure that any large  
clumps frozen together are broken  
up first so that they cook evenly. The  
cooking duration is approximately  
the same as for fresh vegetables.  
– Cooking liquids do not boil away.  
They are either absorbed by the  
food, as with rice and pasta, or they  
remain in the dish to form a sauce,  
as with casseroles. The sauce can  
then be thickened or added to after  
cooking.  
– Frozen and fresh vegetables which  
take the same length of time to cook  
can be cooked together.  
– You can thicken sauces in the steam  
oven by adding flour and butter to  
liquid (40 g flour and 40 g butter to  
0.5 litres liquid).  
53  
 
Practical tips  
– Grease perforated containers  
beforehand if using them to cook  
fish, and solid containers if using to  
cook dishes containing eggs.  
– The weight entry in the Automatic  
programmes refers to the weight per  
piece. The setting and therefore the  
cooking duration is the same whether  
cooking only one 250 g piece of  
salmon or ten 250 g pieces at the  
same time.  
– When cooking fish or food with a  
distinctive colour (e.g. spinach) in a  
perforated container, place the  
container directly above the  
condensate tray to avoid any transfer  
of tastes or colour to other food.  
– Yeast dough can be put in the oven  
to prove.  
Select Cook Universal and reduce  
the recommended temperature to 40  
°C. Cover the dough.

Practical tips  
Frozen food can be defrosted in this  
appliance in much less time than when  
defrosting at room temperature.  
– 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 at 60 °C should be  
enough.  
Proceed as follows:  
^ Place the food in a suitable container  
or on the rack.  
– When defrosting food which has  
frozen together, e.g. berries, chops,  
fish fillets etc separate or break it up  
about half-way through the defrosting  
time.  
^ Select and confirm the Defrost  
function.  
^ Change the recommended  
temperature if necessary (see chart)  
and confirm your selection.  
– Allow food to stand at room  
temperature at the end of the  
defrosting time. This standing time  
(see chart) is necessary to ensure  
that the food is fully defrosted right  
through to the core.  
^ Select the defrost time (see chart)  
and start the programme.  
Tips on defrosting  
– All meat and poultry should be fully  
defrosted before cooking. When  
defrosting meat or poultry place the  
condensate tray underneath the rack  
to catch the defrosted liquid, so that  
the meat is not lying in this liquid.  
– Do not refreeze food once it has  
thawed.  
– Defrost deep frozen pre-cooked  
meals according to the  
manufacturer's instructions.  
– Defrost baked goods in a sealed  
freezer bag.  
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 tray, the sink and your  
hands. Danger of salmonella  
poisoning!  
– Food which does not drip can be  
placed on the rack or in a dish once  
the wrapping has been removed.

Practical tips  
Cooking whole meals  
^ First place the dish with the longest  
cooking duration (the rice), in the  
oven and set a duration of  
20 minutes.  
It is very economical and practical to  
cook a whole meal at the same time in  
the steam oven.  
^ As soon as the set temperature has  
been reached, set the minute minder  
for the difference between the first  
and second cooking durations, i.e.  
the time until the second dish has to  
be placed in the oven (14 minutes).  
Confirm the minute minder time.  
Proceed as follows:  
^ Place cooking containers on different  
levels or place them side by side or  
one on top of the other on the rack.  
In general, cooking durations will vary  
according to the type of food. This  
means that you will need to open the  
steam oven at different times to add a  
particular dish. Our test kitchen  
recommends the following procedure,  
as shown in this example (Function:  
Cook Universal / 100 °C).  
^ After 14 minutes, place the second  
dish (the fish fillet) in the oven.  
^ As soon as the set temperature has  
been reached, set the minute minder  
for the time until the third dish (the  
broccoli) has to be placed in the  
oven (2 minutes). Confirm the minute  
minder time.  
Rice  
Fish fillet  
Broccoli  
20 minutes  
6 minutes  
4 minutes  
^ After 2 minutes, place the third dish  
(the broccoli) in the oven.  
At the end of the cooking duration you  
can remove all the dishes at the same  
time.  
59  
 
Practical tips  
Blanching  
Preparing yoghurt  
You can use your steam oven to blanch  
vegetables and fruit to prepare them for  
freezing.  
Proceed as follows:  
^ Mix 100 g yoghurt (with live culture)  
with 1 litre of fresh milk. The yoghurt  
and milk should have the same  
percentage fat content.  
If using unpasteurised milk you will  
need to heat it up to 90 °C (do not  
boil) and then leave it to cool.  
Proceed as follows:  
^ Put the prepared vegetables/fruit  
(cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into  
a perforated cooking container.  
^ Select and confirm the Cook  
Vegetables function. Confirm the  
recommended temperature of  
100 °C.  
Otherwise the yoghurt will not set.  
^ Pour this milk mixture into 6 or 7  
portion sized glass dishes and cover  
with heat resistant cling film.  
Special yoghurt jars may also be  
used.  
^ Set and confirm a duration of  
1 minute.  
^ Once blanched, plunge the  
vegetables/fruit into ice cold water to  
cool them down quickly. Drain them  
well.  
^ Place the covered dishes on the  
rack.  
^ Select and confirm Cook Universal  
and reduce the recommended  
temperature to 40 °C.  
The vegetables/fruit can now be frozen.  
^ Set a duration of 5 hours.  
^ Allow the yoghurt to cool and then  
place in the refrigerator.  
It will not achieve its maximum set until  
it has been thoroughly chilled.

Practical tips  
Disinfecting baby bottles  
Proceed as follows:  
The steam oven can be used to  
disinfect baby bottles and other  
containers. Check beforehand that all  
parts, teats etc., are declared by the  
manufacturer to be heat-resistant to  
100 °C.  
^ Place the condensate tray on the  
lowest shelf level and place the rack  
above it.  
^ Dismantle, clean and thoroughly  
rinse the bottles and space the  
individual parts out on the rack,  
ensuring that they do not touch one  
another. This allows the hot steam to  
reach them from all sides.  
^ Select and confirm the Cook  
Universal function. Confirm the  
recommended temperature of  
100 °C.  
^ Set and confirm a duration of

Aluminium  
This material is susceptible to  
scratching and to damage from alkalis  
and acids. It is therefore essential to  
clean it with care, as described above.  
Do not use cleaning agents for  
stainless steel or descaling agents on  
these surfaces. Remove soiling immedi-  
ately, as leaving it could result in the  
surface discolouring or altering.  
The appliance front and controls should  
be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or a  
mild solution of hot water with a little  
washing-up liquid, applied with a damp  
cloth. Then wipe over with clean water,  
and finally dry with a soft cloth.  
See data plate for type of front. N.B.  
Appliances with glass fronts are fitted  
with an aluminium handle.  
Glass  
For appliances with glass fronts, a  
proprietary glass cleaning agent may  
be used.  
Stainless steel  
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned  
using a Miele E-Cloth or with a  
proprietary non-abrasive cleaning  
agent designed specifically for use on  
stainless steel.  
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioning  
agent for stainless steel can also be  
used.
