Problem
Cause and remedy
After moving house the
appliance no longer
switches from the heat-
ing-up phase to the
cooking phase.
The boiling temperature of the water has changed as
the altitude of the new location for the appliance dif-
fers from the old one by at least 300 m.
To adjust the boiling temperature, you need to de-
scale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care - De-
scaling").
During operation an un-
usually large amount of
steam escapes, or
steam escapes from
parts of the oven where
it does not usually.
The door is not properly closed.
Close the door.
The door seal is not correctly fitted.
Press it in all the way round the door to make sure
it is fitted evenly.
The door seal is damaged, e.g. cracks can be seen.
The door seal needs to be replaced.
Call Miele Service.
Do not use any microwave modes / functions until
the door seal has been replaced.
A whistling sound is
heard when the appli-
ance is switched on
again.
When the door is closed, the pressure has to equal-
ise, which can cause a whistling sound. This is not a
fault.
The

functions are not avail-
able.
The temperature in the oven is too high, e.g. after a
programme has finished.
Open the door and let the oven cool down.

.
After long cooking pro-
grammes using mi-
crowave power
, the
oven interior is very
damp.
The steam oven with microwave is a fully fledged
steam oven. The cooking compartment is completely
hermetically sealed. In contrast, a conventional mi-
crowave oven is not air-tight. Because the cooking
compartment is steam-tight, condensation will form
on the side walls and the inner door panel during
long cooking programmes using microwave power
. The amount of condensate depends on the
cooking duration and the level of moisture in the
food.
