Functional description
Control panel
The water and condensate containers are located behind the lift-up control panel. The panel is opened and closed by touching the "Lift Panel" sensor button.
The panel is equipped with a finger pinch protection. If it encounters resistance when opening/closing, the process is interrupted. Make sure you do not touch the the appliance door handle while the panel is opening or closing.
Water container
The max. water level is 47 fl. oz. (1.4 liters), the min. 34 fl. oz.
(1 liter). The water level markers are located inside and outside the container. Do not exceed the max. level marker.
The amount of water consumed depends, among other things, on the preset humidity value, as well as the type of food. Opening the oven door during the cooking program increases the water consumption.
Fill the water tank fully before every cooking program.
Depending on the cooking program, you may have to refill the water container after 90 minutes. The appliance will alert you about a lack of water.
Condensate container
The appliance pumps the condensate produced during the steam cooking program into the condensate container. The maximum water level is 47 fl. oz. (1.4 liters).
Grease filter
The grease filter must be fitted for every roasting program.
It should be removed when using steam programs.
It must be removed when baking, as otherwise results can be uneven.
18
Functional description
Roast probe
The roast probe measures the temperature in the interior of the food being cooked, the core temperature. The roast probe allows you to monitor cooking programs at the precise temperature.
Temperature / Core temperature
Some functions have default temperatures and may have a core temperature set for the roast probe. The default temperature can be altered within a given range (see
"Functions") for an individual cooking program or permanently
(see "Settings") You can change the core temperature within a given range for an individual cooking program or a cooking stage.
Cooking duration
Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of between 1 minute and 10 or 12 hours.
The duration of the MasterChef, Maintenance and Menu cooking functions is set at the factory and cannot be changed.
With functions and programs that use steam only, the cooking duration does not start to count down until the set temperature has been reached; on all other functions and programs, it begins immediately.
Moisture
Combi Steam and Reheat modes use a combination of convection heat and moisture. You can change the moisture/humidity level within a given range for an individual cooking program or a cooking stage.
Depending on the humidity setting, moisture or fresh air is fed into the oven interior. With the humidity setting at 0%, the maximum fresh air supply is provided and no moisture is fed in. With the humidity setting at 100%, no fresh air supply is provided and the moisture content is at maximum.
19
Functional description
The humidity sensor determines the moisture content in the oven interior. The type of food has an influence on the moisture content and this will be taken into account by the appliance.
Keep in mind that there are foods that give off moisture during a cooking program. This natural moisture of the food is also used to regulate the humidity. This means that the steam generator may not be activated for low humidity values set.
Noise
You can hear a noise (humming) when the appliance is turned on, when it is operating, and after it has been turned off.
This noise does not indicate a malfunction or a defect. It occurs when water is being pumped in and out.
You can hear the fan noise when the appliance is operating.
20
Functional description
Preheating phase
While the oven is heating up to the set temperature, the display will show the rising temperature inside the oven together with "Preheating phase" (Exceptions: MasterChef,
Menu Cooking, Reheating, 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. The duration will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.
Steam reduction
With steam modes
If the cooking temperature is higher than 158°F (70 °C), steam reduction is automatically turned on at the end of the cooking duration. The function reduces the amount of steam escaping from the appliance when the door is opened. The display shows "Steam reduction" in addition to "Program finished".
You can turn the function off (see "Settings / Keeping warm").
Keep warm
With steam modes
If you wish to use this function, you'll need to change the default setting (see "Settings").
If the appliance is not turned off at the end of a cooking program, it will switch to the keeping warm function after a short time. The food will be kept warm for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Please note that delicate food, especially fish, can continue cooking while being kept warm.
21
Functional description
Interior lighting
For energy saving reasons, the oven compartment lighting has been factory set to go out after the program has begun.
If you want it to stay on all the time you need to change the default setting (see "Settings").
If the door is left open at the end of a cooking program the oven lighting will turn off automatically after 5 minutes.
The lighting radiates heat. If you are working with temperatures below 125°C (50°C), the oven light turns off automatically.
If the "Light" button is actuated on the panel, the lighting comes on for 15 seconds.

General notes when cooking with Steam
Steam Cooking
The advantages of cooking with steam
Vitamins and minerals are better retained, as the food is not immersed in water.
When cooked with steam, food retains its natural taste better than with conventional cooking. We therefore recommend not to season the food at all or only after it has been cooked.
Food retains its fresh, natural color.
Suitable cooking utensils
Cooking pans
Included with the appliance are stainless steel cooking pans.
In addition, further cooking pans of different sizes are available, which can be supplied either perforated or solid
(see "Optional accessories"). This allows the most suitable cooking pans to be selected for a particular food.
It is best to use perforated pans for steam cooking if possible. This enables the steam to reach the food from all sides allowing the dish to be evenly cooked.
Using your own pans
You can also use your own pans. But please note the following:
– Pans must be heat-resistant to 212°F / 100°C and able to withstand hot steam. Plastic pans can only be used for
Steam Cooking if the manufacturer specifies that they are suitable for such use.
– Thick-sided pans made of porcelain, china or stoneware, for example, are less suitable for Steam Cooking. They do not conduct heat well, thus cooking times will be considerably longer than those given in the charts.
45
General notes when cooking with Steam
– Place the cooking pans on the inserted rack, not on the oven floor.
– Ensure that there is a gap between the upper rim of the pan and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the pan.
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level and also cook on several levels.
If you simultaneously use several high cooking pans for steam cooking, insert the cooking pans offset to each other. If possible, leave a level between the cooking pans.
Temperature
The maximum temperature in the steam oven is 212° F /
100° C. Most types of food can be cooked at this temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as berries, must be cooked at lower temperatures, otherwise they will burst. More information is provided in the relevant chapters.
46
General notes when cooking with Steam
Cooking time (duration)
In general, the cooking times for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food on a cooktop. More information about any factors which may affect the cooking duration is given in the relevant sections of this manual.
The quantity of food does not affect the cooking time. 2 lbs
(1 kg) potatoes will take the same time to cook as 1 lb (500 g) potatoes.
The cooking times given in the tables are guidelines only.
Select a shorter cooking time, additional time can be added if necessary.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking pan 2 /
3 full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking pan is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes
Any food and recipes which are prepared in a pot or a pan can also be cooked in the steam mode. The cooking times will be the same. Please note that food will not brown when cooked with steam.
47
Steam Cooking
Vegetables
Fresh vegetables
Frozen vegetables
Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and chop.
Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand.
Exception: Vegetables that have been frozen in a block.
Frozen and fresh vegetables with the same cooking time can be cooked together.
If vegetables have frozen together in clumps, break them up.
Cooking pans
For even cooking of smaller items, it is best to use a shallow pan for these types of foods and only fill it to a depth of 1 1/4"
- 2" (3 - 5 cm). Distribute large quantities of food between several shallow cooking pans.
Use solid pans for vegetables which are cooked in liquid, such as cabbage.
Shelf level
When cooking vegetables with a distinctive color (e.g. beets) in a perforated pan, do not place any other foods beneath this pan. This will prevent any discoloration from dripping liquid.
Cooking duration
When cooking vegetables with steam, the cooking duration will depend on the size and desired degree of doneness.

Temperature
Prepare fresh fish as usual, i.e. clean, gut and filet.
Fish should be thoroughly defrosted before steaming (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 salt fish when cooking with steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish its unique flavor.
Use perforated pans to cook fish, grease them beforehand.
Slide the universal tray onto the bottom shelf level.
When cooking fish in a perforated pan, and at the same time cook other foods in other pans, it is recommended to place the universal tray directly underneath the pan with the fish to catch any liquid, avoiding any transfer of tastes.
185°F- 194°F (85°C - 90°C)
For gentle cooking of 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.
55
Steam Cooking
Cooking duration
The cooking time depends on the thickness and consistency of the food.
The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh will become. Use the cooking times given in the table.
If you find that the fish is not cooked sufficiently, cook it for only a few more minutes.
When cooking fish in sauce or stock, we recommend that you increase the indicated cooking time by a few minutes.
Tips
Cook larger fish on its belly (swimming position). So that you get the necessary stability, place a small cup or similar item upside down in the cooking pan. Set the fish with the opened belly side on that.

Menu Cooking - Manual
Turn the steam reduction off when Menu Cooking (see
"Settings").
With Menu Cooking you can cook a whole meal containing types of food which have different cooking times, e.g. tilapia filet with rice and broccoli. The food is placed in the oven at the appropriate time so that the whole meal is ready at the same time.
Shelf level
When cooking dripping food (e.g. fish) or food with a distinctive color (e.g. beets) in a perforated pan, place the drip tray / universal tray underneath. This avoids any transfer of flavors from dripping liquid.
Temperature
The temperature for Menu Cooking should be 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 sea bream and 212°F / 100°C for potatoes.
If the default 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 increase the default temperature, shorten the cooking duration by approx.

Special Modes
Reheating
Always follow USDA guidelines on food safety.
The Combi 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).
Cooking utensils
Small quantities can be reheated on a plate, larger quantities should be placed in an appropriate cooking pan.
Duration
10 - 15 minutes are usually sufficient to reheat one plated meal. Several plates will take a bit longer.
If you want to reheat multiple items one after the other, reduce the times for the second and all following actions by approx. 10 minutes as the oven is still warm.
Moisture
The more moist the food is, the less moisture needs to be added.
Tips
Food does not need to be covered for reheating.
Compact items, such as stuffed bell peppers or roulades, should be cut in half.
Please note that breaded items will not retain their crispness when they are reheated.
Reheat sauce separately.
Exceptions: Dishes prepared in sauces, such as stew.

Defrost
Always follow USDA guidelines on food safety.
Defrosting in the appliance is significantly shorter than defrosting at room temperature.
Temperature
The optimal defrosting temperature is 140°F / 60°C.
Exceptions: Ground meat and game 122°F / 50°C
Before and after defrosting
Remove all packaging before defrosting.
Exceptions:
Leave bread and baked goods in their packaging as otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft.
Cooking pans
Use a perforated cooking pan when defrosting food which will drip, such as poultry. This way the defrosted food is not in the defrosting liquid.
,
Dispose of the liquid from defrosting poultry - Do not use! Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Food that does not drip can be defrosted in a solid cooking pan.

Special Modes
Canning
Always follow USDA guidelines on food safety.
Fruit and Vegetables
Only use fresh produce that is ripe and in good condition for canning.
Glass jars
Only 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 canning is completed evenly.
After you have filled the jars, clean the glass rims with a clean cloth and hot water and then seal the jars.
Fruit
Sort and rinse the fruit. Allow it to drain completely. Wash berries very carefully, they are very fragile and easily crushed.
Remove skins, stalks, seeds or pits.
Chop larger fruit. For example, cut apples into slices.
If you are canning fruit with pits (e.g. plums, apricots) without removing the pits, pierce the fruit several times with a fork or wooden skewer as otherwise they will burst.
Vegetables
Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.
Vegetables should be blanched before canning to help them retain their color (see "Blanching").
Filling volume
Fill the glass jars up to a maximum of 1 1/4" (3 cm) below the rim. Do not pack down as this would damage the fruit/vegetable. Tap the jar gently on a cloth to help distribute the contents evenly under the edge.
76
Tips
Procedure
Settings
Special Modes
Fill the jars with liquid. The canned produce must be completely covered.
Make use of residual heat by leaving the jars in the oven for
30 minutes after it has turned off.
Then let the jars covered with a cloth cool slowly for approximately 24 hours.
^ Place the equally sized glass jars in a perforated cooking pan. Make sure that they do not touch one another.
^ Slide the pan into the lowest shelf level.

77
Special Modes
Juicing
You can extract soft fruit juice in your appliance, e.g. berries and cherries.
Overripe fruit is ideal for extracting juice; the more mature the fruit, the more juice will be productive and aromatic.
Preparation
Sort and wash the fruit to be juiced. Remove any damaged areas.
Remove the stems of grapes and sour cherries, because they contain bitter compounds. Stalks of berries do not need to be removed.
Tips
Mix mild fruit with tangy fruit to round off the taste.
The juice quantity and aroma are improved if sugar is added to the fruit and is allowed to soak in for several hours. We recommend 1/4 - ½ cup (50-100 g) sugar per 2 lbs (1 kg) of sweet fruit and ½ - 3/4 cup (100-150 g) sugar for 2 lbs (1 kg) tangy fruit.
If you want to save the extracted juice, fill it hot into clean bottles and seal them immediately.
Procedure
^ Place the prepared fruit in a perforated cooking pan.
^ Place under that a solid cooked pan or the universal tray in order to catch the juice.

Making Yogurt
Always follow USDA guidelines on food safety.
To make yogurt, you will need milk and either fresh live yogurt or a yogurt culture, obtainable from health food stores.
Use natural yogurt with live culture and without additives.
Heat-treated yogurt is not suitable.
The yogurt must be fresh (short storage time).
You can use either pasteurized or fresh whole milk.
Pasteurized milk can be used without any further treatment.
Fresh milk must first be heated to 194° F / 90° C (not boiled!) and then cooled down to 95° F / 35° C. Fresh milk will give a firmer yogurt than long-life milk.
The yogurt and the milk should have the same percentage of fat.
Do not move or shake the jars while the yogurt is thickening.
Immediately after preparation leave the yogurt to cool in the fridge.
How firm home-made yogurt is will depend on the consistency, fat content and the cultures used in the starter yogurt. Not all yogurts are suitable for use as starter yogurt.
Possible reasons for unsatisfactory results
Yogurt is not firm:
Incorrect storage of starter yogurt, too much time out of the refrigerator (e.g. in transportation), damaged packaging, milk not sufficiently heated.
Liquid has separated:
The jars were moved, yogurt was not cooled down quickly enough.
Yogurt is gritty:
Milk was overheated or in poor condition, milk and starter yogurt not evenly stirred.

Roast probe
The probe inserted into the meat, measures the internal
temperature of the meat.
The internal temperature to be set depends on the desired cooking level and type of meat. It is selectable in the range from 86-210°F / 30-99°C.
The cooking time depends on the oven temperature and thickness of the meat. The higher the oven temperature and the thinner the meat, the faster the internal temperature will be reached.
The cooking process is terminated automatically when the internal temperature reaches the set value.
Exception: with the Combi Steam operating mode a further cooking stage is set, i.e. for browning.
After use, pull the roast probe from the socket. Be careful, it may still be hot.
Do not leave the roast probe in the appliance, as it is only protected against overheating when inserted.

If after the internal temperature of the meat has been reached, but the meat is not cooked according to your wishes, insert the roast probe in a different spot in the meat, and repeat the process.
95
Roast
We recommend the Roast modes - Convection Bake and
Combi Steam with Surround.
Be sure that the grease filter is in place.
Never roast meat in frozen state, it will dry out. Defrost it before cooking.
Do not preheat the oven for roasting. The prepared meat will be placed into the cold oven.
Clean the meat before roasting. Season the meat as desired and cover it with dabs of butter.
If you want to cook several pieces of meat at the same time, use pieces with the same thickness if possible.
Let the finished roast stand about 10 minutes before cutting so that the meat juices can be redistributed.
96
Roast
Combi Steam
The lower the oven temperature is, the longer the cooking process takes and the more tender the meat is.
Roast meat on the rack with the universal tray placed underneath. You can then use the collected meat juices for sauces.
The surface of lean meat will not dry out because of the supplement of steam.
It will become especially delicate if you cook it in 5 to 6 cooking stages:
In the 1st cooking stage the oven cavity and the rack with the universal tray underneath are preheated.
In the 2nd cooking stage the meat is browned.
In the 3rd cooking stage the oven cavity is adjusted to the appropriate temperature for the meat.
In the 4th A tenderizing stage is carried out which makes the meat tender.
In the 5th cooking stage the meat is cooked to the desired degree of doneness.
Cook fatty meat with crust in the 1st cooking stage at high temperature in order to remove the fat and brown the crust. In the 2nd cooking stage the temperature is reduced and the humidity increased. In the 3rd cooking stage the temperature is raised, so that the crust is crispy and bubbly.
With stews in the 1st cooking stage the oven interior and the rack with the universal tray underneath are preheated.
In the 2nd cooking stage the meat is browned.
In the 3rd cooking stage the meat is braised at a cooking temperature of 212°F / 100°C and 84% humidity.
Cook poultry in the 1st cooking stage at high temperature and high humidity, to remove the fat.
In the 2nd cooking stage the temperature is increased.
In the 3rd stage the poultry is browned

102
Baking
Convection Bake
For baking on multiple levels
When using Convection Bake, reduce the temperatures given for Surround by about 20°F / 20°C.
Surround
For the baking of traditional recipes and preparing soufflé.
Only bake on one level.
Bake sheet cakes on the center shelf level.
If using older cookbooks or recipes, set the temperature
10°F / 10°C lower then given in the recipe. The cooking time will not change.
Browning
For browning, baking casseroles or layer cakes.
Bake
Use this at the end of the baking time to brown the bottom of the food some more.
Intensive
When baking cakes with a moist topping such as cheese cakes, tarts, quiches, pizza, etc.
Bake these in the bottom shelf level.
Humidity Plus
For sponge cakes, choux pastry (e.g. cream puffs) and frozen pretzels
103
Baking
Combi Steam
The shiny finish on bread, bread rolls and puff pastry is achieved by cooking it with steam (maximum moisture, low temperature) in cooking stage 1. Browning takes place with high moisture and high temperature. The baking will become dryer with low moisture and high temperature.
Bake pre-baked bread rolls with 90% moisture at the temperature given by the manufacturer on the packaging.
Notes for baking
Remove the grease filter from the back wall. Otherwise results can be uneven. (Exception: Fruit tarts, pizza with extra toppings).
Baking pans
Dark-colored pans conduct heat more quickly to the mixture.
Shiny metal pans reflect heat. Therefore cakes take longer to bake in these pans.
Universal tray
Thanks to the anti-stick properties of the surface with the
"PerfectClean" finish, the universal tray does not require greasing before baking.
Parchment paper
Parchment paper is required for:
– pretzels, the baking soda (or bakers lye) used may damage the "PerfectClean" surface.
– batters that may quickly stick due to their high egg white content, such as biscuits, meringues or macaroons.
104
Baking
Frozen products
When baking frozen products such as French fries, croquettes, cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the lowest temperature quoted by the manufacturer on the packaging.
Bake frozen cakes, pizzas or baguettes on the rack covered with parchment paper. With frozen products, the baking or universal tray may warp so that they cannot be removed when hot.
Frozen products such as French fries, croquettes or similar items can be baked on the universal tray. For gentle baking of these products, place parchment paper under them on the tray. Turn the food several times during baking.
Shelf level
Use only one shelf level when preparing moist cakes.
Bake on a maximum of two shelf levels at the same time.
If you are baking on two shelf levels at the same time, use levels 1 and 2.
Notes about the baking table
Select the lower temperature shown on the table.
Do not set the temperature higher than indicated. Higher temperatures may shorten the baking times but will frequently result in uneven browning and may even prevent the food from being baked through.
After the end of the shortest baking time, check whether the baked goods are done. Insert a toothpick into the dough, if no moist pieces of the baked good adhere to the toothpick, the baked goods are done.

Procedure
Broiling
The appliance door must be closed when broiling.
otherwise the control elements will become hot.
Risk of burns!
Do not use the roast probe in the Broil, Maxi Broil and
Combi Steam with Broil operating modes.
Use the mode:
– Broil / Maxi Broil when broiling small items, e.g. steak, chops, etc.
– Convection Broil for broiling larger items such as poultry or roasts.
For broiling, use the rack with the universal tray inserted below.
Broil tall food items (e.g. half chickens) on the middle shelf level and thinner foods (e.g. steaks) on the topmost shelf level.
Do not preheat the broiler. Place the food to be broiled in the cold oven.
The weights given refer to the weight per piece. You can cook a 9 oz (250 g) piece of trout or several trout of 9 oz
(250 g) pieces of trout simultaneously.
Turn the food after 2/3 of the broiling time. See the "Broiling chart" for more details.
^ Place the rack on the universal tray.
^ Place the food to be broiled on the rack.
^ Push the tray in and close the door.
^ Select the function and the temperature.
109
Broiling
Tips
Broiling chart
Marinate lean meat or brush it with oil. Other fats will easily burn or develop smoke.
Make sure the pieces are approximately the same thickness so the broiling times are not too different.
When turning the food, work quickly to avoid the oven cooling too much.
If the surface of larger chunks of meat is well browned but the core is still uncooked, move the food to a lower shelf level or continue at a lower temperature.

Using the MasterChef programs
Your appliance has a number of MasterChef programs. The individual programs contain the operating modes, temperatures and times.
Doneness and browning are represented by a bar with seven segments. Factory setting is a medium doneness and browning. Select the level of doneness and browning by moving the slider to the left or right.
In some roasting programs you also have the choice to
"Roast with Moisture" at low temperature and long cooking time, so the meat is cooked gently and becomes tender.
The weights given refer to the weight per piece. You can cook one piece of salmon of 9 oz (250 g) or 10 pieces of salmon of 9 oz (250 g) simultaneously.
In some programs, information on shelf level and the time of insertion is given. Follow or confirm the information.
Let the appliance first cool down to room temperature after a cooking process, before you start an automatic program.
If you place food in a hot oven, be careful when opening the door. Hot steam may escape. Take a step back and wait until the steam has dissipated.
Make sure that you not come in contact with hot steam or the hot oven walls. Danger of scalding and burns!
Use the baking pans recommended in the baking recipes.
The start time can be changed using "Start at" or "Finish at".
111
Using the MasterChef programs
To finish an automatic program early, turn off the appliance.
If the food is not cooked to your preference after a
MasterChef program is complete, select "Continue Cooking" or "Continue Baking".
MasterChef programs can also be saved as "Favorites" and be placed on the main menu.

Cleaning and Care
,
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the Combi Steam
Oven. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Clean and dry the appliance and accessories after each use.
Allow the appliance to cool down.
Make sure the appliance is completely dry before closing the door.
If you will leave the appliance unused for an extended period, clean it once more thoroughly to prevent the build-up of odours. Leave the door open afterwards.
Do not use commercial cleaning agents. Only use agents designed for domestic use.
Do not use cleaning agents or dishwashing liquids containing aliphatic hydrocarbons. These could cause the seals to swell.
117
Cleaning and Care
Appliance front
It is best to clean the front of the appliance immediately following use. If spills are left for extended periods of time they may become impossible to remove and surfaces may become permanently stained or damaged.
Clean the exterior with a solution of warm water and liquid soap applied with a soft sponge. Dry with a soft cloth.
Glass cleaners may be used to clean the exterior.
However do not allow them to sit or "puddle", this can cause damage to the surface. Remove the cleaner promptly.
All appliance surfaces are subject to scratching.
Scratches on glass surfaces can lead to breakage.
All surfaces are subject to discolorations and damage if they come into contact with unsuitable cleaning products.
To better maintain your appliance avoid the following:
– cleaning products that contain washing soda, acid, alkaline, ammonia, or bleach,
– limescale removers,
– abrasive cleaners such as scouring powder, scouring liquid or pumice stones,
– cleaners containing solvents,
– stainless steel cleaners,
– dishwasher detergent,
– oven sprays,
– rough scouring sponges or brushes such as pot scrubbers,
– magic erasers,
– sharp metal scrapers.
118
Cleaning and Care
Accessories
Universal Tray, Wire Oven Rack, Shelf Runners
These parts have been treated with PerfectClean. They should be cleaned according to the cleaning instructions described in "PerfectClean".
Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
Remove
– light soiling with a sponge, dishwashing detergent and warm water.
– stronger soiling with a dish sponge, hot water and dishwashing detergent. If necessary, you can also use the hard side of the dish sponge.
Rinse and wipe thoroughly with clean water and dry the surfaces.
Cooking pans
The cooking pans are dishwasher-safe.
Use a little vinegar to remove any bluish discoloration on the cooking pans.
You could also use the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cleaner (see "Optional accessories"). Rinse the pans thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual cleaning agents.
Roast probe
Clean the roast probe after each use. Do not rinse, only wipe with a damp cloth.
Do not clean the roast probe in the dishwasher!
119
Cleaning and Care
Grease filter
Clean the grease filter after every roasting program with a solution of dishwashing liquid and hot water or in the dishwasher.
^ Pull the grease filter upwards to remove it.
If the grease filter is cleaned in the dishwasher, results are better if the filter is placed horizontally in the basket. Some dishwasher detergents may cause the surface of the filter to discolour. This will not affect the functioning of the filter in any way.
Drain filter
Rinse and dry the drain filter after each use.
Stains and limescale deposits can be removed with vinegar.
You can also use the Miele ceramic and stainless steel cleaner (see "Optional accessories"). Rinse it thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual cleaning agents.
Water container and condensate container
Remove, empty and dry the water and condensate containers after each use. Rinse the water and condensate containers by hand or in the dishwasher and dry them carefully. This will prevent limescale deposits.
When removing the water and condensate containers, water may drip into the slide-in compartments. Wipe the slide-in compartments dry.
120
Cleaning and Care
Oven interior
The oven interior is made from stainless steel which has been treated with a PerfectClean finish. See "Cleaning and Care
-PerfectClean".
For easy cleaning of the oven interior you can remove the door and the side runners.
After a program using steam
Remove:
– condensate with a sponge or soft cloth,
– light, greasy soiling with a sponge, liquid dish soap and warm water. Rinse with clean water.
After rinsing, dry the oven interior with a soft cloth. You can then leave the oven to dry automatically (see "Maintenance -
Drying").
After Roasting, Broiling or Baking
Clean the oven after each roasting, broiling or baking program, otherwise items can become baked on and hard to remove.
Clean the oven interior with a dish sponge, hot water and liquid dish soap.
If necessary, use the scouring pad on the reverse of a non-stick dish sponge to remove the soiling.
Rinse and wipe thoroughly with clean water, and dry the surfaces.
Soaking the soiling for a few minutes with a solution of liquid dish soap and warm water can make cleaning easier, or if the program "Maintenance - Soak" is used (See "Maintenance").
Do not use oven cleaners, because its residue cannot be removed.
121
Cleaning and Care
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, broiling or roasting program using a clean, damp cloth without detergent or with a clean sponge, liquid dish soap and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Replace the seal with a new one if it becomes porous or brittle. Door seals are available from Miele.
PerfectClean
The surfaces of the oven interior, side runners have a
PerfectClean finish. This creates an optical effect that makes the surface appear iridescent. The PerfectClean finish is a smooth, nonstick surface that cleans easily with a sponge.
For optimal use, it is important to clean the surfaces each time the Combi Steam Oven is used.
The surface will become harder to clean and the anti-stick properties will deteriorate if soiling is not removed after each use and allowed to build up.
Multiple uses without cleaning leads to increased cleaning.
Soiling, such as spilled fruit juice and cake mixtures, is best removed while the oven is still warm.
Spilled fruit juices may cause lasting discoloration of the surfaces. This will not affect the properties of the
PerfectClean finish.
122
Cleaning and Care
Remove cleaning residues. Cleaning residues reduce the non-stick effect.
The following cause lasting damage to the PerfectClean surfaces and must not be used:
– abrasive cleaning agents e.g. powder or cream cleansers, pumice stones,
– cleaners for ceramics cooktops,
– ceramic and stainless steel cleaners,
– steel wool,
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scrubbers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,
– oven cleaners must not be used on hot PerfectClean surfaces at higher temperatures, or left on too long,
– cleaning in the dishwasher,
– spot cleaning with mechanical cleaning devices.
123

Descaling
Cleaning and Care
We recommend that you use Miele Descaling Tablets (see
"Optional accessories") for descaling the appliance. They have been specifically designed for optimal descaling of
Miele products. Other descaling agents, which - in addition to citric acid - may contain other acids and/or other undesirable substances such as chlorides, might damage the product. Also, the desired effect cannot be guaranteed if the descaling solution does not have the required concentration.
Ensure that the descaling agent does not come into contact with the door handle or the metal control panel as this could cause marks. Wipe the descaling agent immediately from these surfaces.
The appliance will need descaling after a certain number of operating hours. After turning the appliance on, a message will appear in the display to tell you that 10 cooking cycles remain. Only cooking programs which use steam are counted. The appliance will lock out after you have run the last remaining program which uses steam.
We recommend that you descale the appliance before it locks. The entire descaling process takes about 40 minutes.
During the process water must be added twice.
^ Turn on the device and select "Maintenance / Descale".
The display shows the message "Please wait ...". The descaling process is being prepared. This may take several minutes.
Once preparation is complete, you will be prompted to fill the water container.
^ Put approx. 4 cups (1 liter) of water into the water container and add 2 Miele descaling tablets.
^ Push the water container into the appliance until it connects, and follow the instructions on the display.
125
Cleaning and Care
After the final confirmation of "OK" the descaling starts.
The descaling program can be canceled only during the first 6 minutes.
Do not turn the appliance off during the descaling program, since then the program has to be restarted.
After a period of about 25 minutes there is a rinse cycle.
^ Follow the display prompts.
After the expiration of the remaining time the display shows
"Empty condensate container".
^ Follow the instructions on the display and confirm with
"OK".
This ends the descaling program. The display shows an appropriate message.
After descaling
^ Turn the appliance off.
^ Remove the water container and dry it.
^ Open the door.
^ Dry the oven interior.
Make sure the appliance is completely dry before closing the door.
