Risk of suffocation from packaging material. Whilst playing,children may become entangled in packaging material (such asplastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation.Keep packaging material away from children.

Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. Children's skin isfar more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. Duringoperation, steam will escape out of the ventilation outlet. The doorglass and control panel of the steam oven heat up.Do not let children touch the steam oven when it is in operation.Keep children well away from the steam oven until it has cooleddown and there is no danger of injury.

Risk of injury from the open door. The oven door can support amaximum weight of 8 kg. Children could injure themselves on anopen door.Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.


9

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (includingremoval of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by aMiele authorised technician.

Radiation by microwaves:Service or repairs which necessitate the removal of any casing or thedoor must only be carried out by a suitably trained servicetechnician.

A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for anyvisible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damagedappliance.

Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage. If anydamage is noticed, the oven should not be used again in any ovenfunction using microwave power until the fault has been rectified bya service technician.

Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakageand present a hazard to the user. Do not use the steam oven if:

– the door is warped,

– the front of the oven compartment is dented or bowed,

– the door hinges are loose,

– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door, the door seal orthe oven interior walls,

– there is moisture between the door panes.

Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if ithas been connected to the mains electricity supply.


10

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective earthingsystem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement ispresent and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, thehousehold wiring system should be inspected by a qualifiedelectrician.

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure thatthe connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond inorder to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult aqualified electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guaranteethe required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it hasbeen built in.

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).

Tampering with electrical connections or components andmechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can causeoperational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of theappliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is notsupplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to themains supply by a suitably qualified electrician.


11

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replacedwith a special mains connection cable (see “Installation – Electricalconnection”).

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is onlycompletely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn fromthe socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mainsplug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricitysupply.

If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture front (e.g. a door),do not close the furniture front while the steam oven is in use. Heatand moisture can build up behind a closed furniture door. This canresult in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and the floor.Leave the furniture door open until the steam oven has cooled downcompletely.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches orother vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance andits surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused bycockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.


12

Correct use

Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam ovengets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the ovencompartment, shelf runners, accessories, food or steam. Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it, andwhen adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.

Risk of injury caused by hot food. Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven orremoving it. The food can cause burns. When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them,make sure that the hot food does not spill.

Risk of injury due to hot water.At the end of a cooking programme, hot water left in the steamgenerator is pumped back into the water container. Take care not totip the water container when taking it out of the appliance.

Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed tins.Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causingdamage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.

Plastic dishes which are not heat-resistant and steam-resistantmelt at high temperatures and can damage the appliance.Use only heat-resistant (to 100 °C) and steam-resistant plasticdishes for steam cooking. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and themoisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam oven.Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use anycooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.

Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the opendoor or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.


13

The door can support a maximum load of 8 kg. Do not sit on orlean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door andthe oven compartment. The steam oven could get damaged.

When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of theappliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulationon the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shockhazard.

Microwave function

Please be aware that durations when using microwave power areoften considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrostingthan when using functions without microwave power. Excessivelylong cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or couldeven cause it to catch fire.

The Microwave function is used to reheat food andbeverages. Do not use the Microwave function for dryingflowers, herbs, bread or other flammable materials which couldcatch fire and cause injury by burning.

It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked isevenly distributed and sufficiently high.This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing asufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be addedto the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking.During the standing time, the temperature is distributed evenly in thefood.


14

Risk of injury caused by hot food. When heating food up, the heatis created directly in the food itself. For this reason, the crockery willremain cooler than the food (except when using ovenproofstoneware). The crockery is only warmed by the heat of the food.Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual fooditself after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the containeris not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. Thisis particularly important when heating food for babies, children,and the elderly or infirm. After reheating food, especially food forbabies and small children, stir the food or shake the container andcheck that the temperature does not pose any danger of burning.Double check after it has been left to stand.

The Microwave function is not suitable for cleaning ordisinfecting items because it may involve high temperatures. There isa risk of burning when items are removed from the oven.

Risk of injury from increased pressure in sealed containers orbottles. Pressure can build up when reheating food or drinks insealed containers, jars or bottles, which can cause them to explode.Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers or bottles.Open containers beforehand. In the case of baby bottles, the screwtop and teat must be removed.

When heating food, and in particular liquids, using theMicrowave function, the boiling point may be reached withoutthe production of typical bubbles. Liquids do not boil evenlythroughout. This boiling delay can result in the liquid boiling overexplosively. Take care when taking the container out of the oven, asthe hot liquid can cause severe scalding. Under certaincircumstances, the pressure can be so high that the door opensautomatically.Stir liquids well before reheating or cooking. After heating, wait atleast 20 seconds before removing the container from the oven. Inaddition, a glass rod or similar item, if available, can be placed in thecontainer during heating.


15

Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave poweronly if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,even after taking them out of the oven.They can only be cooked in their shells using the Steam cooking function or in an appropriate Automatic programme. Hard-boiledeggs must not be reheated with microwave power either as they toowill explode, even after taking them out of the oven.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,potatoes and eggplants can burst when heated or cooked.Pierce or score the skin of these types of food several times to allowsteam to escape.

Do not use the Microwave function to heat up cushions orpads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such asthose used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heatedeven after they have been removed from the oven.

To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if there issmoke inside the steam oven. Interrupt the programme by switchingthe steam oven off and disconnect it from the mains electricitysupply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.

Crockery and lids with hollow handles or knobs can collectmoisture in the hollow spaces. When the moisture evaporates,pressure can build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recessis sufficiently ventilated, the item can be used.Do not use crockery with hollow knobs or handles when using theMicrowave function.


16

Non-microwave safe plastic dishes can sustain damage ordamage the steam oven if used with the Microwave function andmicrowave functions.Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal,aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics,wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper coveredwire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with thefoil lid only partially removed (see “Microwave operation - Suitablecontainers for microwave use”).

Fire hazard due to containers made of flammable materials.Plastic disposable containers must meet the requirements specifiedfor crockery in “Microwave operation - Suitable containers formicrowave use”.Do not leave the steam oven unattended when heating or cookingfood in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or otherinflammable materials.

Heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foilthat reflects microwave radiation. Because of this, the papersurrounding the aluminium foil can become so hot that it combusts.Do not use heat-retaining packaging, such as bags for grilledchicken, for warming food with functions that use microwave power.

If the steam oven is used without food or the food is loadedincorrectly when using the Microwave function or functions thatuse microwave power, the steam oven can become damaged. Donot use the Microwave function or functions that use microwavepower to pre-heat crockery or to dry herbs. Never start theMicrowave function when the oven compartment is empty.


17

Cleaning and care

Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steamcleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause ashort circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning.

Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking.Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metaltools to clean the door glass.

The shelf runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care –Cleaning the shelf runners”).Refit the shelf runners correctly.

The shelf runners fit into plastic bushes. Check the bushescarefully for damage. If the bushes are damaged, do not use anymicrowave functions until the bushes have been replaced.

Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquidscontaining salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly toavoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts oraccessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will beinvalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment

18

Disposal of the packingmaterialThe transport and protective packaginghas been selected from materials whichare environmentally friendly fordisposal, and can normally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces theuse of raw materials in themanufacturing process and alsoreduces the amount of waste in landfillsites. Ensure that any plasticwrappings, bags etc. are disposed ofsafely and kept out of the reach ofbabies and young children. Danger ofsuffocation.

Description of the functions

29

Steam cooking function

Water container

The maximum filling volume is 1.5 litresand the minimum is 0.5 litre. There aremarkings on the water container. Theupper marking must never beexceeded.

Water consumption depends on thetype of food and the cooking duration.The water may need to be topped upduring cooking. Water consumption isincreased if the door is opened duringcooking.

The water container is removed using apush/pull system: push gently on thewater container to remove it.

At the end of a cooking programme, hotwater left in the steam generator ispumped back into the water container.The water container must be emptiedafter each use involving steam.

Temperature

Some functions are allocated with arecommended temperature. Therecommended temperature can bealtered within the given range for anindividual cooking programme orprogramme stage, or for every time thatprogramme is used You can alter therecommended temperature in 5 °Cincrements, or 1 °C increments in sous-vide cooking (see “Settings –Recommended temperatures”).

Duration

You can set the cooking duration from1 minute (00:01) to 10 hours (10:00). Ifthe cooking duration exceeds59 minutes, you have to enter it in hoursand minutes. Example: Cookingduration 80 minutes = 1:20.

During steam cooking, the cookingduration does not begin until the settemperature is reached.

Noises

You will hear a pumping sound whenthe appliance is switched on, duringuse and after switching it off. This is thesound of water being pumped throughthe system and is quite normal.

When the steam oven is in use, you willhear a fan noise.


30

Heating-up phase

During the heating-up phase the displaywill show Heating up and thetemperature in the oven compartmentas it rises.

The duration of the heating-up phasewith steam cooking will depend on thequantity and temperature of the food. Ingeneral, the heating-up phase will takeapprox. 7 minutes. It will be longer ifyou are cooking refrigerated or frozenfood. The heating-up phase may alsotake longer when cooking at lowertemperatures and when cooking withthe Sous-vide function.

Cooking phase

The cooking phase begins when the settemperature is reached. During thecooking phase, the duration remainingwill be shown in the display.

Steam reduction

If you are cooking at a temperatureabove approx. 80 °C, the steam ovendoor will automatically open a littleshortly before the end of the cookingduration to allow some of the steam toescape. Steam reduction appears in thedisplay. The door will then closeautomatically.

Steam reduction can be switched off(see “Settings - Steam reduction”).When steam reduction is switched off, alarge amount of steam will escape whenthe door is opened.


31

Microwave power

How it works

The steam oven contains a magnetronthat converts electrical energy intoelectromagnetic waves (microwaves).These microwaves are distributedevenly throughout the ovencompartment and are reflected off themetal appliance walls.

The microwaves penetrate the foodfrom all sides. Food consists of manymolecules. When subjected tomicrowave energy, these molecules(particularly the water molecules) startto oscillate. This heats the food fromthe outside to the inside. The morewater a food contains, the faster it isheated or cooked.

Advantages of the microwave oven

– Food can generally be cooked withlittle or no liquid or cooking oil.

– The times for defrosting, reheating orcooking are shorter than with acooktop or oven.

Suitable crockery

In order for microwaves to reach thefood, they must be able to penetrate thecrockery being used. Microwaves canpass through porcelain, glass,cardboard and plastics, but not metal.Therefore, do not use metal containersor crockery that contains metal. Metalreflects the microwaves which cancreate sparks and the microwaves arenot absorbed by the metal.

Risk of injury from increasedpressure in sealed containers orbottles.Pressure can build up whenreheating food or drinks in sealedcontainers, jars or bottles, which cancause them to explode.Never cook or reheat solid or liquidfood in sealed containers or bottles.Open containers beforehand. In thecase of baby bottles, the screw topand teat must be removed.

Fire hazard due to usingunsuitable crockery in theMicrowave function.Non-microwave safe dishes used inmicrowave mode can suffer damageor cause damage to the steam oven.Only use microwave safe crockery inthe Microwave function.

The material and shape of containersused affect cooking results and times.Heat distribution is more even in roundand oval shaped flat containers than inrectangular containers, providing betterresults.


32

Suitable containers

Fire hazard due to inflammablematerials.Disposable containers made out ofplastic, paper or other inflammablematerials can ignite, causing damageto the steam oven.Do not leave the steam ovenunattended when reheating orcooking food in disposablecontainers made of plastic, paper orother inflammable materials.

You can use the following crockery andmaterial:

– Heat-resistant glass and ceramicglassException: crystal glass as it containslead and may crack.

– Porcelain

– Without metallic decorationMetallic decoration (e.g. gold rimsor cobalt blue) can cause sparking.

– Without hollow knobs and handlesMoisture can gather in the hollowknobs and handles. When themoisture evaporates, pressure canbuild up and the item can explode.

– Unpainted stoneware and stonewarewith underglaze paints

Risk of injury caused by hotcrockery.Earthenware can get very hot andmay crack.Wear oven gloves when usingstoneware.

– Plastic containers and plasticdisposable containers with theMicrowave function

Useful tip: To protect the environment,avoid the use of disposable containers.

Plastic dishes and bags that are notheat-resistant may deform and fusewith the food inside.Only use plastic containers or bagsthat are heat-resistant. The plasticcontainers and bags must be able towithstand temperatures of at least110 °C.

– Microwave safe plastic containersSpecial plastic containers designedfor use in microwave ovens areavailable from retail outlets.

– Styrofoam containersFor briefly heating food.

– Plastic boiling bagsFor cooking and reheating. Theyshould be pierced beforehand. Theholes allow the steam to escape. Thisprevents a build-up of pressure fromforming and the bag from bursting.There are also special bags availablefor steam cooking which do not needto be pierced. Please follow theinstructions given on the packet.

– Roasting bags and tubesPlease follow the manufacturer'sinstructions.


33

Fire hazard due to metal parts.Metal parts such as metal clips orplastic and paper ties that have wirerunning through them can heatinflammable materials until they burn.Do not use metal clips, or plastic andpaper ties containing wire.

– The rack and cooking containerssupplied are only suitable forcooking programmes in the Rapidsteam cooking function and infunctions that do not use microwavepower.

– Aluminium foil trays without lids fordefrosting and reheating ready mealsThe food is only heated from the top.If you remove the food from thealuminium foil container and transferit to crockery suitable for use in amicrowave oven, the heat distributionwill generally be more even.

Using aluminium foil trays andaluminium foil can cause cracklingand sparks.Place aluminium foil trays on theglass tray.Aluminium foil and aluminium foiltrays must not touch the ovencompartment walls and must remainat least 2 cm from the walls at alltimes.

– Metal meat skewers or clampsThe size of the cut of meat must bemuch larger than the metal skewersand clamps.

Unsuitable containers

Crockery and lids with hollowhandles or knobs can collectmoisture in the hollow spaces. Whenthe moisture evaporates, pressurecan build up and the item canexplode. If the hollow recess issufficiently ventilated, the item canbe used.Do not use crockery with hollowknobs or handles for cooking.

Do not use the following crockery andmaterial:

– Metal racks (including the suppliedrack) are not suitable for use with theMicrowave function.

– Containers made from metal andstainless steel (including the cookingcontainers supplied) are not suitablefor use with the Microwave function.

– Aluminium foilException: for even defrosting,reheating or cooking unevenlyshaped cuts of meat, e.g. poultry,small pieces of aluminium foil may beused to cover thin parts for the lastfew minutes of the programme.

– Metal clips, plastic or paper tiescontaining wire

– Plastic containers where thealuminium lid has not beencompletely removed

– Crystal glass

– Cutlery and crockery with metallicdecoration (e.g. gold rims, cobaltblue)


34

– Crockery with hollow handles

– Plasticware made of melamineMelamine absorbs microwave energyand gets hot.When purchasing plasticware, makesure that it is suitable for use in amicrowave oven.

– Non-heat-resistant plastic containersand bags

– Wooden dishesWater contained in wood evaporatesduring the cooking programme. Thiscauses the wood to dry and crack.

Placing a dish in the oven

Place the glass tray on shelf level 1.

The dish containing the food shouldbe placed in the middle of the glasstray.

Placing the food directly on the floorof the oven would give unsatisfactoryand uneven results as the microwaveswould not be able to reach the foodfrom below.


35

Cover

Useful tip: Covers are available fromretail outlets.

– A cover prevents too much steamescaping, especially when cookingfoods which need longer to cook.

– It speeds up the heating process ofthe food.

– It prevents food from drying out.

– It helps keep the oven interior clean.

Use a glass or plastic cover suitablefor microwave use for cookingprogrammes with theMicrowave function.

Alternatively, use a cling film suitablefor use in a microwave oven. Heat cancause normal cling film to distort andfuse with the food.

The cover should not form a sealwith the container. If the containerhas a narrow diameter, the steammay not be able to escape. Thecover could get too hot and start tomelt.Use containers with a sufficientlylarge diameter.

Do not use a cover for reheating thefollowing types of food:

– Food coated in breadcrumbs

– Food that needs to be heated orcooked using the Rapid steamcooking function


36

Glass trayFunctions/Applications involving steam:When using perforated containers,place the glass tray on shelf level 1.This collects any drops of liquid andallows it to be removed easily.

The condensate cannot evaporateproperly if the glass tray is on thefloor of the steam oven.Place the glass tray on shelf level 1.

Microwave function:Always use the glass tray on shelflevel 1 as a surface to place containerson.

Oven interior lightingFor energy saving reasons, the oveninterior lighting has been set at thefactory to go out after the programmehas begun.

If you want the lighting to remain onduring cooking, the relevant settingneeds to be changed (see “Settings -Lighting”).

If the door is left open at the end of acooking programme, the oven lightingwill switch off automatically after5 minutes.

The lighting can be switched on for15 seconds by pressing the buttonon the control panel.

General notes on steam cooking

67

This section contains generalinformation. You will find more detailedinformation about particular foods andhow to cook them in the other sections.

The advantages of cookingwith steamAlmost all vitamins and minerals areretained as the food is not immersed inwater.

Cooking with steam also retains thetrue taste of the food better thanconventional cooking. We thereforerecommend seasoning the food after ithas been cooked. Food also retains itsfresh, original colour.

Suitable containers

Cooking containers

This steam oven is supplied withstainless steel cooking containers.Other containers, in a variety of sizes,both perforated and solid, are availableas optional extras (see “Optionalaccessories”). This enables you tochoose the most suitable container forthe food you are preparing.

Where possible, it is best to useperforated cooking containers for steamcooking. The steam can reach the foodfrom all sides and the food is cookedevenly.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers.However, please note the following:

– Containers must be heat-resistant to100 °C and able to withstand steam.With plastic containers, please checkwith the manufacturer that they aresuitable for use in a steam oven.

– Thick-sided containers made fromporcelain, ceramic, or stoneware arenot very suitable for using withsteam. Due to their thick sides, theydo not conduct heat well and as aresult cooking durations will beconsiderably longer than those givenin the charts.

– Place the cooking container on therack or in a suitable container, andnot on the oven floor.

– Ensure that there is a gap betweenthe upper rim of the container andthe top of the cooking compartmentto allow sufficient steam into thecontainer.

Glass trayWhen using perforated containers,place the glass tray on shelf level 1.This collects any drops of liquid andallows it to be removed easily.

The condensate cannot evaporateproperly if the glass tray is on thefloor of the steam oven.Place the glass tray on shelf level 1.

General notes on steam cooking

68

Shelf levelYou can select any shelf level for thecooking containers and the rack. Youcan also cook on several levels at thesame time. This will not alter thecooking duration.

When using more than one deepcontainer at the same time for steamcooking, it is best to offset them ontheir runners and to leave at least onelevel free in between them.

Always insert cooking containers, therack and the glass tray between therails of the shelf runners so that theycannot tip.

FrozenThe heating-up phase for frozen food islonger than for fresh food. The greaterthe quantity of frozen food, the longerthe heating-up phase.

TemperatureDuring steam cooking, the temperaturedoes not exceed 100 °C. Almost allfoods can be cooked at thistemperature. Some types of food, suchas berries, need to be cooked at lowertemperatures to prevent them frombursting. See the relevant sections inthese operating instructions for moredetails.

DurationDuring steam cooking, the cookingduration does not begin until the settemperature is reached.

In general, the cooking durations forcooking with steam are the same as forcooking food in a saucepan. Moreinformation about any factors whichmay affect the cooking duration is givenin the relevant sections.

The quantity of food does not affect thecooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes willtake the same time to cook as 500 g ofpotatoes.

Cooking with liquidWhen cooking with liquid, only fill thecooking container ²/₃ full to prevent theliquid spilling when the cookingcontainer is removed from the oven.

Your own recipesFood which is cooked in a pot or a pancan also be cooked in the steam oven.The cooking durations in the steamoven will be the same. Please note thatfood will not be brown or crisp whencooking with steam.

Vegetables

Fresh

Prepare fresh vegetables in the usualway, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.

Frozen food

Frozen vegetables do not need to bedefrosted beforehand. Exception: thevegetables have been frozen together ina block.

Frozen and fresh vegetables which takethe same length of time to cook can becooked together.

If vegetables have frozen together inclumps, break these up before cookingwith steam. Follow the manufacturer’sinstructions on the packaging regardingcooking duration.

Cooking containers

Food such as peas or asparagusspears, which have little or no spacebetween them, will take longer to cookbecause the steam has less space towork in. For an even result, it is best touse a shallow container for these typesof food, and only fill it about 3 - 5 cmdeep. When cooking large quantities,divide the food between 2 or 3 shallowcontainers rather than using one deepone.

Different types of vegetables which takethe same length of time to cook can becooked together in one cookingcontainer.

Use solid containers for vegetableswhich are cooked in liquid, e.g.cabbage.

Shelf level

When cooking vegetables with adistinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in aperforated container at the same timeas cooking other foods in othercontainers, place the solid tray directlyunderneath the perforated container tocatch any drips and therefore avoid anycolour transfer.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on thesize of the food and how well cookedyou want it, just as it does withconventional cooking methods.Example:Firm potatoes, cut into quarters: approx. 12 minutesFirm potatoes, cut in half: approx. 17 minutes

Fish

Fresh

Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.clean, gut and fillet.

Frozen

Fish does not need to be fully defrostedbefore cooking. Defrost so that thesurface is sufficiently thawed to takeherbs and seasoning. Depending on thethickness of the fish, 2–5 minutesshould be enough.

Preparation

Add some lemon or lime juice to fishbefore cooking. The citric acid helps theflesh stay firm.

It is not necessary to season fish whencooking with steam as this methodretains the minerals which give the fishits unique flavour.

Cooking containers

If using a perforated container, grease itfirst or line it with baking paper.

Shelf level

When cooking fish in a perforatedcontainer at the same time as cookingother types of food in other containers,place the container with the fish directlyabove the glass or collecting tray(depending on the model) to catch anyliquid and so avoid any transfer offlavours to other food.

Temperature

85 °C – 90 °C For gently cooking delicate types offish, such as flounder.

100 °CFor cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.salmon.Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on thethickness and the texture of the fish,and not on the weight. The thicker thefish, the longer the cooking duration. A3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 gwill take longer to cook than a 2 cmthick piece of fish weighing 500 g.

The longer fish cooks, the firmer itsflesh will become. Use the cookingdurations given in the chart. If you findthat 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 thecooking duration quoted by a fewminutes.

Steam cooking

74

Useful tips

– Adding herbs and spices, such asdill, will help bring out the full flavourof the fish.

– Cook large fish in the swimmingposition. To help maintain thestructure of the fish, place a smallcup or similar upside down in thecooking container. Arrange the fishbellyside down over the cup.

– You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fishheads, bones, tails etc. to make afish stock. Place the fish scrapstogether with some mixed vegetablesin a solid cooking container and addcold water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to90 minutes. The longer the cookingduration, the stronger the stock.

– Preparing fish au bleu is a methodinvolving cooking the fish in waterwith vinegar, at different proportionsdepending on the recipe. It isimportant not to damage the skin ofthe fish. This method is suitable forcooking trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Meat should be thoroughly defrostedbefore cooking in the steam oven (see“Special applications - Defrosting withsteam”).

Preparation

Meat which needs to be seared beforebeing cooked, e.g. stewing steak,should be seared in a pan on thecooktop.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on thethickness and the texture of the meat,and not on the weight. The thicker thepiece of meat, the longer the cookingduration. A piece of meat weighing 500g which is 10 cm thick will take longerto cook than a piece of meat weighing500 g which is 5 cm thick.

Useful tips

– To retain the flavourings, use aperforated cooking container. Placean unperforated cooking containerunderneath in order to collect theconcentrate. You can use theconcentrate to enhance your saucesor freeze it for later use.

Menu cooking

Before cooking meals with themanual Menu cooking function,switch off steam reduction (see“Settings – Steam reduction”).

Menu cooking involves cooking variousfoods with different cooking times inorder to serve them all together in onemeal, e.g. rosefish fillet with rice andbroccoli. Foods are placed in the steam oven atdifferent times so that they are all readyat the same time.

Shelf level

Place foods that produce a lot of liquids(e.g. fish) or have a distinctive colour(e.g. beetroot) directly above the glasstray or condensate tray (depending onthe model). This avoids any transfer offlavour or colour to other food bypreventing liquid dripping onto foodbelow it.

Temperature

Whole meals should be cooked at atemperature of 100 °C as this is thetemperature required to cook themajority of foods. Do not cook a whole meal at the lowesttemperature when differenttemperatures are required for differenttypes of food, e.g. 85 °C for seabreamand 100 °C for potatoes.

If the recommended cookingtemperature for the food is 85 °C forexample, try cooking it at 100 °C andtesting the result. Some delicate typesof fish with a soft structure, e.g.flounder will become very firm whencooked at 100 °C.

Duration

If you increase the recommendedtemperature, shorten the cookingduration by approx. ¹/₃.

Example:

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

Parboiled rice 24 minutes

Rosefish fillet 6 minutes

Broccoli 4 minutes

Calculation of set cooking durations:

24 minutes minus6 minutes = 18 minutes (1st cookingduration: rice)

6 minutes minus 4 minutes = 2 minutes(2nd cooking duration: rosefish fillet)

Remaining time = 4 minutes(3rd cooking duration: broccoli

Duration 24 min. – rice

Set the third cooking duration:4 minutes.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

90

With this gentle cooking method, foodis cooked slowly and at a low, constanttemperature in vacuum packaging.

With vacuum cooking, no moistureevaporates during cooking and allnutrients and flavours are retained.

The cooking result has an intensivetaste and food is cooked evenly.

Use only fresh food which is in agood condition.Ensure hygienic conditions and thatfood has not been out of therefrigerator too long, e.g. duringtransportation.

Use only heat-stable, boiling-resistant vacuum bags.Do not cook food in the salespackaging, such as vacuum-packedfrozen food as it is possible that thepackaging used is not suitable forvacuum cooking.Do not use the vacuum bag morethan once.

Vacuum-seal the food in a chambersystem vacuum sealer only.


91

Important notes on useFor an optimum cooking result:

– Use herbs and spices more sparinglythan with conventional methodsbecause the impact on the taste ofthe food will be stronger.You can also cook the foodunseasoned and add seasoning aftercooking.

– The cooking duration is reducedwhen salt, sugar, and liquids areadded.

– The food becomes firmer if acidicfoods, such as lemon or vinegar areadded.

– Do not use alcohol or garlic as thiscan cause an unpleasant taste.

– Only use vacuum sealing bags thatmatch the size of the food. If thevacuum bag is too big, too much aircan remain inside.

– If you want to cook several pieces offood in one vacuum bag, put themside by side in the bag.

– If you want to cook food in severalvacuum sealing bags at once, put thebags side by side on the rack.

– The cooking durations depend on thethickness of the food.

– With higher temperatures and/orlonger cooking durations, theappliance may run low on water.Check the display from time to time.

– Keep the door closed during thecooking process. Opening the doorextends the cooking process and canchange the cooking result.

– Cooking at a lower temperature andfor a longer duration can result inincreased residual water in thecooking compartment. This does notaffect the cooking results.

– Temperatures and cooking durationsfrom sous-vide recipes cannotalways be emulated exactly. Alter thesettings to achieve the degree ofcooking you want.


92

Useful tips– In order to reduce cooking times, you

can vacuum seal food items 1–2 daysbefore the cooking programme. Storethe vacuum-sealed food in therefrigerator at no more than 5 °C. Inorder to preserve quality and flavour,the food should be cooked no laterthan 2 days afterwards.

– Freeze liquids such as marinadesbefore vacuum sealing to preventthem from escaping from the bag.

– Fold the edges of the vacuum sealingbag outwards for filling. This will giveyou clean, perfect weld seams.

– If you do not want to eat the foodstraight after cooking, put it in icedwater immediately and allow it to cooldown completely. After this, store thefood at temperatures no greater than5 °C. This way, you can retain the food’squality and flavour while keeping itfresh for longer. Exception: Poultry must be eatenstraight after the cooking programme.

– After cooking, cut the vacuum bag onall sides for easier access to thefood.

– Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish(such as salmon) before serving. Thiswill help to develop a roasted aroma.

– Use the brine or marinade ofvegetables, fish, or meat to make asauce.

– Serve the food on pre-warmedplates.


93

Using the Sous-vide function Rinse the food with cold water and

dry it.

Place the food in a vacuum bag andadd spices or liquid if desired.

Vacuum seal the food in a chambersystem vacuum sealer.

Place the glass tray on shelf level 1.

For the best cooking results, placethe rack on shelf level 2.

Place the vacuum-sealed food on therack (next to each other if there areseveral bags).

Select Sous-vide .

Change the recommendedtemperature if necessary.

Confirm with OK.

Set further settings as necessary (see“Operation”).

Possible causes for poorresultsThe vacuum bag has opened:

– The weld seam was not clean orstable enough and came undone.

– The bag was damaged by a sharpbone.

The food has an unpleasant or strangetaste:

– Incorrect storage of the food; thefood was kept out of the refrigeratorfor too long.

– The food was contaminated withbacteria before it was vacuumsealed.

– Too much of ingredients such asspices were added.

– The bag or weld seam were not inperfect order.

– The vacuum was insufficient.

– The food was not eaten or chilledimmediately after cooking.

ReheatingOnly reheat brassicas, such as kohlrabiand cauliflower, in combination with asauce. Without sauce, an unpleasantcabbage-like taste and grey-browncolour may develop.

Foods with a short cooking time andthose which have a different degree ofdoneness when reheated, e.g. fish, arenot suited to being reheated.

Preparation

Immediately after cooking, place thefood in ice cold water and leave forapproximately one hour. The rapidcooling inhibits continued cooking ofthe food. This means the ideal degreeof doneness of the food remains as it is.Store the food afterwards in therefrigerator at max. 3 °C.

Please note that the quality of fooddeteriorates the longer it is stored.We recommend storing food in therefrigerator for no longer than fivedays before reheating it.

Reheat with steam

To reheat food which was cookedusing the sous-vide method, use theSous-vide function (see “Sous-vide– Reheating”).

The steam oven is very effective atreheating food gently, without drying itout or cooking it further. The foodreheats evenly and does not need to bestirred during the reheating process.

You can reheat individual dishes orplated meals which have been preparedpreviously (e.g. meat, vegetables andpotatoes).

Suitable containers

Small quantities can be reheated on aplate, larger quantities should be placedin a cooking container.

Duration

The number of plates or containers hasno bearing on the time.

The times listed in the table relate to anaverage portion per plate. Increase theduration for larger quantities.

Useful tips

– Do not reheat large items, such as ajoint of roast meat, whole. Divide itinto portions and reheat these asplated meals.

– Compact items, such as stuffedcapsicum, roulades or dumplings,should be cut in half.

– Reheat sauces separately. Exceptionsare dishes such as goulash, which iscooked in sauce.

– Cover food when reheating it. Thiswill avoid steam condensing on thecrockery.

– Please note that breaded items, suchas schnitzel, will not retain theircrispness when they are reheated.

Heating food

Cover the food being warmed up witha plate or foil that is resistant totemperatures up to 100 °C and tosteam.

Place the food on the rack or in acooking container.

Defrost with steamIt is much quicker to defrost items in thesteam oven than at room temperature.

Risk of infection from bacteria.Bacteria such as salmonella cancause life-threatening foodpoisoning.It is particularly important to observefood hygiene rules when defrostingfish and meat, and in particular whendefrosting poultry.Do not use the liquid producedduring defrosting.Process the food as required as soonas it has been defrosted.

Temperature

60 °C is the best temperature fordefrosting.Exceptions: 50 °C for minced meat andgame.

Before and after defrosting

Remove any packaging beforedefrosting. Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits andcakes in their packaging as otherwisethey will absorb moisture and becomesoft.

Allow food to stand at roomtemperature for a few minutes afterdefrosting. The standing time isnecessary to allow the even distributionof heat from the outside to the inside.

Cooking containers

Use a perforated container with a glasstray or condensate tray (depending onmodel) underneath it when defrostingfood which will drip, such as poultry.This way food will not be lying indefrosted liquid.

Foods which do not drip can bedefrosted in a solid cooking container.

Useful tips

– Fish does not need to be fullydefrosted before cooking. Defrost sothat the surface is sufficiently thawedto take herbs and seasoning.Depending on the thickness of thefish, 2–5 minutes is generally enough.

– When defrosting food which hasfrozen together, e.g. berries and meatportions, separate them half-waythrough the defrosting time.

– Do not refreeze food once it hasthawed.

– Defrost frozen ready meals accordingto the instructions on the packaging.

Steam cooking Temperature: 100 °CBlanching time: 1 minute

BottlingOnly use unblemished, fresh producewhich is in good condition.

Glass jars

Use clean glass jars and accessoriesand check them for any defects. Glassjars with twist off lids or glass lids with arubber seal are suitable.

Make sure that all the glass jars are thesame size so that bottling is carried outevenly.

After you have filled the jars with thebottled produce, clean the glass rimswith a clean cloth and hot water andthen seal the jars.

Fruit

Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly butthoroughly and allow it to drain. Takegreat care when cleaning soft fruit as itis very delicate and squashes easily.

Remove any peel, stalks, cores orstones. Cut up large fruit. For example,cut apples into slices.

If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g.plums, apricots) without removing thestones, pierce the fruit several timeswith a fork or wooden skewer asotherwise it will burst.

Other applications

105

Vegetables

Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.

Vegetables should be blanched beforebottling to help them retain their colour(see “Special applications –Blanching”).

Fill volume

Fill the glass jars with produce up to nomore than 3 cm below the rim. Do notpack it down as this will damage thecell walls of the produce. Tap the jargently onto a cloth to help distribute thecontents evenly. Fill the jars with liquid.The produce must be completelycovered.

Use a sugar solution for fruit and a saltor vinegar solution for vegetables.

Meat and sausages

Briefly fry or cook the meat beforebottling. Use the juices with someadded water, or the broth in which themeat was cooked, as the liquid contentof the jars. Make sure there is no greaseon the rim of the jars.When bottling sausages, only fill thejars to halfway as the meat will riseduring the bottling process.

Useful tips

– Make use of residual heat by leavingthe jars in the oven for 30 minutesafter it has switched off.

– Then cover the jars with a cloth andallow to cool for approx. 24 hours.

Make yoghurtTo prepare yoghurt, you will need milkand live culture or yoghurt starterpowder, e.g. from a health food store.

Use natural yogurt with live culture andwithout additives. Do not use heat-treated yogurt.

The yoghurt must be fresh (shortstorage time).

You can use either unchilled long-lifemilk or fresh milk. Long-life milk can be used as it is – nofurther preparation is required. Freshmilk must first be heated to 90 °C (donot boil it) and then cooled down to35 °C. Fresh milk will give a better setthan long-life milk.

The yoghurt and milk should have thesame percentage fat.

Do not move or shake the jars while theyoghurt is fermenting.

Immediately after preparation, leave theyoghurt to cool in the fridge.

The firmness, fat content and culturesused in the yoghurt starter all affect theconsistency of homemade yoghurt. Notall yoghurts are equally suitable asyoghurt starters.

Useful tip: If you are using yoghurtstarter powder, you can prepare theyoghurt from a mixture of milk andcream. For that, mix ³/₄ litre milk with ¹/₄litre cream.

Mix 100 g yoghurt with 1 litre of milkor make up the mixture with yoghurtenzyme, following the instructions onthe packaging.

Pour the mixture into glass jars andseal the jars.

Extracting juiceThis appliance is ideal for extractingjuice from soft, firm and hard fruit.

It is best to use overripe fruit, as theriper the fruit, the greater the quantity ofjuice produced. Very ripe fruit will alsoproduce a more intense flavour.

Preparation

Sort and rinse the fruit, and cut out anyblemishes.

Remove the stalks from grapes andmorello cherries as these are bitter.Berries do not need to have their stalksremoved.

Dice larger fruit such as apples intoapproximately 2 cm cubes. The harderthe fruit, the smaller the pieces shouldbe.

Useful tips

– Try experimenting with mild and tartflavours. For example, mix appleswith elderberries.

– Adding sugar will increase thequantity of juice produced andimprove the flavour. Sprinkle the fruitwith sugar and leave to absorb for afew hours before juicing. For 1 kg ofsweet 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 ratherthan consume it straight away, pour itwhilst hot into hot, sterilised bottlesup to the rim, and then sealimmediately with sterilised rubbertops.

Extracting juice from fruit

Rapid steam cooking

114

You can defrost, reheat and cook food with a combination of steam andmicrowave power in the Rapid steam cooking function.

During the heating-up phase, the oven compartment is initially heated to the settemperature using just steam power. As soon as this temperature is reached, themicrowave switches on so that the steam generator and magnetron are bothswitched on throughout the entire cooking phase.

Just like cooking with steam only, the cooking duration does not begin until the settemperature is reached.

The combined Rapid steam cooking function has a number of advantages,including the following:

– Food takes less time to cook, as it cooks more quickly than using the steamfunction alone

– Food will not overcook or dry out as it can with microwave power

– Food can be defrosted and reheated in a single process

– Food does not need to be stirred during the cooking process

DefrostGentle defrosting of frozen goodsmeans that the vitamins and mineralsare generally retained.

Risk of infection from bacteria.Bacteria such as salmonella cancause life-threatening foodpoisoning.It is particularly important to observefood hygiene rules when defrostingfish and meat, and in particular whendefrosting poultry.Do not use the liquid producedduring defrosting.Process the food as required as soonas it has been defrosted.

Useful tips

– Place the food to be defrosted on theglass tray without its packaging. Forlarger food quantities, place thefrozen goods in a microwave safecontainer and place this onto theglass tray.

– Frozen ready meals can be defrostedand then heated at the same time.Follow the instructions on thepackaging.

Defrosting frozen food

Only use heat-resistant containerswhich are microwave safe.

Place the frozen food on the glasstray and place on shelf level 1.

If necessary, cover the frozen food.

Select Defrost .

Select Microwave and confirm withOK.

Change the recommended powerlevel, if necessary, and confirm withOK.

Change the defrosting duration, ifnecessary, and confirm with OK.


Start the programme using the OKsensor.

During defrosting: Stir, turn or rearrange the food onceagain. Stir the food from the outsidetowards the middle, as food heatsmore quickly from the outside.

During the standing time, thetemperature is distributed evenly in thefood.

After defrosting, allow the food tostand at room temperature for a fewminutes to enable the heat to spreadevenly throughout the food.

ReheatIt is essential that “Warning and Safetyinstructions - Correct use” is observed.

Risk of injury caused by hotfood.If food for babies and children isheated at too high a temperature,they can burn themselves.Only heat food for babies andchildren for 60–90 seconds at 450 W.After heating food, especially foodfor babies and small children, stir thefood or shake the container andtaste the food so that children do notget burned.

Risk of injury from increasedpressure in sealed containers orbottles.Pressure can build up whenreheating food or drinks in sealedcontainers, jars or bottles, which cancause them to explode.Never cook or reheat food or liquidsin sealed containers or bottles. Opencontainers beforehand. In the case ofbaby bottles, the screw top and teatmust be removed.

Risk of injury caused by hot liquids.When heating food, and in particularliquids, using theMicrowave function, the boilingpoint may be reached without theproduction of typical bubbles.Liquids do not boil evenlythroughout.This boiling delay can result in theliquid boiling over explosively. Takecare when taking the container out ofthe oven, as the hot liquid can causesevere scalding. Under certaincircumstances, the pressure can beso high that the door opensautomatically.Stir liquids well before reheating orcooking.After heating, wait at least20 seconds before removing thecontainer from the oven.In addition, a glass rod or similaritem, if available, can be placed inthe container during heating.


123

Useful tips

– Always cover food when reheating it,except when reheating beverages ormeat/fish coated in breadcrumbs.

– Please note that foods with an initialtemperature of approx. 5 °C(refrigerated temperature) needlonger to heat up than those at roomtemperature.

– If you are in any doubt that asufficiently high food temperature hasbeen reached, continue heating for alittle longer.

– Frozen ready meals can be defrostedand then heated at the same time.Follow the instructions on thepackaging.

Problem solving guide

136

With the help of the following guide, minor faults in the performance of theappliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be remediedwithout contacting Miele. This will save you time and money because you won'tneed a service call.

Please note that a call-out charge will be applied to unnecessary service visitswhere the problem could have been rectified as described in these operatinginstructions.

Problem Possible cause and remedy

You cannot switch theappliance on.

The circuit breaker has tripped. Reset the circuit breaker in the mains fuse box

(see data plate for minimum fuse rating).There may be a technical fault. Disconnect the appliance from the mains

connection for approximately 1 minute by:– switching off at the wall socket and withdrawing

the plug, or– switching off the mains circuit breaker or residual

current device. If, after switching the circuit breaker or residual

current device back on, the steam oven will stillnot switch on, contact a qualified electrician orMiele.

The oven does not heatup.

Demo mode is active.The steam oven can be operated, however theheating elements will not work. Deactivate Demo mode (see “Settings -

Showroom programme”).The oven cavity has been warmed up by a warmingdrawer in operation underneath it. Open the door and let the oven cool down.


137


The sensors do notrespond.

You have selected the Display | QuickTouch | Off setting.Therefore, when the steam oven is switched off, thesensors do not respond. As soon as the steam oven is switched on, the

sensors will respond. If you want the sensors toalways respond even when the steam oven isswitched off, select the Display | QuickTouch |On setting.

The steam oven is not connected to the powersupply. Check that the steam oven plug is correctly

inserted into the socket. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Contact a

qualified electrician or Miele.There is a fault with the control unit. Touch and hold the On/Off sensor until the

display switches off and the steam oven restarts.

The fan can still beheard after theappliance has beenswitched off.

The fan is still running. The appliance is fitted with a fan which removessteam from the oven. The fan will continue to run fora while after the appliance has been switched off. Itwill switch itself off automatically after a while.

A humming sound canbe heard after switchingon the appliance, duringoperation and afterswitching off theappliance.

This is not a fault. It is made by water being pumpedthrough the system.

After moving house, theappliance no longerswitches from theheating-up phase to thecooking phase.

Altitude affects the boiling point of water. If you movehouse, the appliance will need to be reset for the newaltitude if this differs from the old one by more than300 m. To adjust the boiling temperature, you need to

descale the steam oven (see “Cleaning and care –Descaling the steam oven”).


138


During operation anunusually large amountof steam escapes orsteam escapes fromparts of the steam ovenwhere it does notusually.

The door is not properly closed. Close the door.

The door seal is not correctly fitted. If necessary, press it in all the way round the door

to make sure it is fitted evenly.The door seal is damaged, e.g. cracked.

The door seal needs to be replaced. Call Miele. Do not use any microwave functions until the door

seal has been replaced.

A whistling sound isheard when theappliance is switchedon again.

When the door is closed, the pressure has toequalise, which can cause a whistling sound. This isnot a fault.

The Start at and Finish atfunctions are notavailable.

The temperature in the oven compartment is too high,e.g. after a programme has finished. Open the door and let the oven cool down.

These functions are not generally available inmaintenance programmes.

After long cookingcycles with microwavepower , there arehigh levels of moisturein the cavity.

The steam oven with microwave is a fully fledgedsteam oven. The cavity is therefore completelysteam-tight. In contrast, a conventional microwaveoven is not air-tight. As a result of the steam-tightcavity, during long cooking cycles with microwavepower , condensate will develop on the side wallsand the inner door panel. The quantity of condensatedepends on the cooking duration and the level ofmoisture in the food.


139


The food is notsufficiently heated or isnot cooked at the endof a set duration whenusing theMicrowave function.

The oven was not restarted after interrupting acooking programme. Restart the cooking programme to ensure the food

is heated or cooked properly.When cooking or heating with microwave power, theduration set was too short. Check that the correct duration is selected for the

microwave power level. The lower the microwavepower level, the longer the cooking duration.

With a very small amount of food, the steam ovenautomatically reduces the power level to suit theactual amount of food as a safety precaution. Thedisplay still shows the previously set initial powerlevel. Restart the programme with a lower microwave

power level to ensure the food is heated or cookedproperly.

Food has cooled downtoo quickly after beingheated or cooked usingthe Microwave function.

When cooked by microwaves, food begins to cookfrom the outside first, the inside of the food relying onthe slower conduction of heat. If food is cooked at ahigh microwave power level, it is possible that theheat may not have reached the centre of the food, soit is hot on the outside but cold in the centre. Duringthe standing time, the heat is transferred to the centreof the food. When reheating food with different densities, such

as with menu cooking, it is sensible to start with alow microwave power level and select a longerreheating duration.

Less than half of thepopcorn has poppedwhen using thePopcorn function.

The oven interior was too warm and/or too damp. Allow the oven compartment to cool and/or dry it

with a towel.The cooking duration was too short. Change the preset time. The maximum cooking

duration that can be set is 4 minutes (see “Settings– Popcorn”).
