Issue
Cause and remedy
After moving house, the
steam oven no longer
switches from the
heating-up phase to the
cooking phase.
The boiling temperature of the water has changed as
the altitude of the new location for the appliance
differs from the old one by at least 300 m.
To adjust the boiling temperature, you need to
descale the steam oven (see “Cleaning and care –
Descaling the steam oven”).
During operation an
unusually 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.
Contact your Miele dealer.
Do not use any microwave modes / functions until
the door seal has been replaced.
A whistling sound is
heard when the
appliance is switched
on again.
When the door is closed, the pressure has to
equalise, which can cause a whistling sound. This is
not a fault.
The

functions are not
available.
The temperature in the oven compartment is too
high, e.g. after a programme has finished.
Open the door and let the oven compartment
cool down.
These functions are not generally available in
maintenance programmes.
After long cooking
programmes using
microwave 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 microwave 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.
