Use the following conversion table for setting the temperature on your steam oven. The temperature shown in °F does not always correspond exactly with the temperature specified in °C, i.e. the actual measurable temperature. This discrepancy in temperature is nominal and will not cause a significant difference in cooking time or results. Temperature in °F boil 212 205 195 185 175 165 155 145 135 125 115 Temperature in °C 100 95 90 85 80 75 70 65 60 55 50 14 Suitable containers Stainless steel cooking containers are supplied with the appliance. Other containers are available in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, as optional accessories. Please note when selecting cookware: ­ Use perforated cooking containers whenever possible. The steam can reach the food from all sides and cook evenly. ­ For thicker items, e.g. potatoes, build larger spaces between them. It is best to space food as much as possible so steam can surround each piece. Larger and deeper containers can be used for larger items. ­ Dense dishes such as casseroles or food such as peas or asparagus which have little space between them will take longer to cook because the steam has less space to work in. The cooking time will be longer the more of this kind of food is filled in the container. It is best to use 2 or 3 shallow containers for these foods. The recommended cooking times are for shallow containers. For larger fill heights the cooking time is extended. See "Cooking tips" for more information. You can also use your own containers and dishes. However, please note the following: ­ The container must be heat resistant up to 212°F (100°C). Heat resistant glass, ceramics, porcelain (chinaware), plastics, stainless steel or enamel dishes are all suitable. ­ Food will take longer to cook in a dish with thick sides. ­ Place the dish on the supplied rack. ­ Ensure that there is a gap of at least 1" (3 cm) between the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container. 15 Using the steam oven Before each use ^ Insert the drip tray to catch condensed water. ^ Fill the steam generator with water. The insert can remain inside. Only use tap water! Never use distilled or mineral water. Hot water will shorten the heat-up time. The water level must be between the min and max markings. The marks are on the outside and the inside of the steam generator. Never exceed the "max" level marker! The water level in the steam generator is shown in the display by a symbol. ^ Insert the steam generator into the appliance until it connects. Selecting a function ^ Open the door and place the food in the oven. ^ Touch the "On" sensor. ^ Touch the sensor of the desired function. Adjusting the temperature (if necessary) This oven has been factory tested for the optimum operating temperature of each function. When using the function "Custom" it is possible to change the default temperature during programming. ^ Touch the "Temperature" sensor. ^ Using the number keys, select the desired temperature. The default temperatures for the functions "Custom", "Defrost", "Reheat" and "Canning" can be adjusted permanently in the menu "Settings" to customize the oven to your needs. See "Settings - Temperatures" for more information. 16 Using the steam oven Selecting the duration A duration between 1 minute (0:01) and 5 hours 59 minutes (5:59) can be selected for the cooking process. If the duration is longer than 59 minutes, it has to be set in hours and minutes. Example: Duration 80 minutes = 1:20. ^ Select the desired duration using the number keys. Cooking time (duration) recommendations are shown in the following tables, see "Cooking tips". The cooking time depends on the size of the food not on the amount. For example, potatoes with a large diameter need a longer cooking time then ones with a smaller diameter. The recommended times are stated for an overall amount of 8 - 10 portions. Use suitable cookware. See "Suitable cookware" for more information. Starting a function The oven is factory set to start automatically a few seconds after the duration is selected. To start the oven right away touch the "Start" sensor. See "Settings" for more information to set the start permanently to a manual start. After the start a fan noise and a steam generating noise is heard. During the heating phase the rise in temperature is displayed. Once the selected temperature is reached, the cooking process starts and the cooking time will elapse. When cooking cooled or frozen food, the interior temperature is lowered in the beginning then rises very slowly. The overall time is reached by adding the heat up time and the selected cooking time. The heat up and cooking times depend on the food amount and the food temperature. 17 Using the steam oven Interrupting the cooking process ^ You can interrupt the cooking process at any time by opening the door or touching the "Stop" sensor. The heating is turned off, the remaining time is stopped. At the end of the cooking process Shortly before the selected time ends, the steam is reduced and the door opens a small gap to release steam. A tone sounds after the set time has elapsed. The door closes. ^ Once the display shows "Ready", open the door and remove the food. The oven is factory set so that the food will be kept warm at a temperature of 158°F (70°C) for a maximum of 15 minutes if it is not removed from the oven immediately after cooking. Please note that some food, e.g. fish, can overcook when kept warm. See "Settings - Steam reduction" and/or "Warming function" to turn off these options. ,Hot steam will escape when the door is opened. Use caution when taking containers out of the oven. Spilled liquids, steam and the interior walls are hot. Danger of burns! ^ Close the oven door to continue cooking. Once the door is closed, pressure compensation takes place with a whistling sound. The oven heats up again. Once the selected temperature is reached, the display changes and the remaining time elapses. ,Use caution when taking containers out of the oven. Do not touch hot surfaces. Avoid hot steam, serious burns and scalds could result. 18 Using the steam oven After use ^ Turn the appliance off. ^ Remove and empty the drip tray. ^ Remove and empty the steam generator. Push the steam generator upwards when taking out. ^ Clean and dry the appliance after each use. See "Cleaning and Care". ^ Leave the steam oven door open to allow the interior to completely dry. The fan will continue to run for a short time after the appliance is turned off. The fan running time can be shortened by taking out the steam generator immediately after the oven is turned off. The appliance is set that after each use residual water remains in the steam generator. If there is no residual water, there is a fault. Call the Miele Service Department. 19 Using the steam oven Timer The timer can be used to time any activity in the kitchen and can be set independently of a cooking function.
