Before using for the first time Setting the water hardness Setting the altitude If your water hardness level differs from the factory setting you will need to reprogram the appliance. This process rinses the water lines and sets the unit to the water boiling temperature which varies depending on the altitude in your area. The appliance is factory set to: 8 - 14 gr/gal. Use the supplied test strip to check your water hardness level or call your local water supplier for the water hardness in your area.
Suitable containers Stainless steel cooking containers are supplied with the appliance. Other containers are available in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, as optional accessories. Please note when selecting cookware: – Use perforated cooking containers whenever possible. The steam can reach the food from all sides and cook evenly. – For thicker items, e.g. potatoes, build larger spaces between them. It is best to space food as much as possible so steam can surround each piece.
Using the steam oven Before each use Selecting a function ^ Insert the drip tray to catch condensed water. ^ Open the door and place the food in the oven. ^ Fill the steam generator with water. ^ Touch the "On/Off" sensor. The insert can must remain inside. ^ Select the sensor of the desired function. Only use tap water! Never use distilled or mineral water. Hot water will shorten the heat-up time. The water level must be between the min and max markings.
Using the steam oven Selecting the duration Starting a function A duration between 1 minute (0:01) and 5 hours 59 minutes (5:59) can be selected for the cooking process. The oven is factory set to start automatically a few seconds after the duration is selected. To start the oven right away select the "Start" sensor. If the duration is longer than 59 minutes, it has to be set in hours and minutes. Example: Duration 80 minutes = 1:20.
Using the steam oven Interrupting the cooking process At the end of the cooking process ^ You can interrupt the cooking process at any time by opening the door or selecting the "Stop" sensor. Shortly before the selected time ends, the steam is reduced and the door opens a small gap to release steam. The heating is turned off, the remaining time is stopped. A tone sounds after the set time has elapsed. The door closes. ,Hot steam will escape when the door is opened.
Using the steam oven After use ^ Turn the appliance off. ^ Remove and empty the drip tray. ^ Remove and empty the steam generator. Push the steam generator upwards when taking out. The appliance is set that after each use residual water remains in the steam generator. If there is no residual water, there is a fault. Contact the Miele Service Department. ^ Clean and dry the appliance after each use. See "Cleaning and Care". ^ Leave the steam oven door open to allow the interior to completely dry.
Using the steam oven Timer System lock The timer can be used to time any activity in the kitchen and can be set independently of a cooking function. The appliance has a safety lock to prevent it from being accidentally turned on by children. Two alarms (Timer 1 and 2) can be selected simultaneously.

Cooking tips Tips for steaming – The cooking times for cooking with steam are almost the same as cooking in a pot. – The steam prevents the food from drying out and the disadvantages come with it. The food stays moist and juicy. The same is true not only for vegetables but also for desserts, fish and meat recipes. – You can cook on any level or on multiple levels at a time. The cooking time will not change. – The food will not brown and does not get a crust. The food is gently steamed, not fried or baked.
