Problem
Cause and remedy
After moving house the
appliance 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 appliance (see "Cleaning and care -
Descaling").
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.
Call Miele Service.
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
Start at
and
Ready at
functions have not
worked.
The temperature in the oven is too high, e.g. after a
programme has finished.
Open the door and let the oven cool down.
These functions are not available with

.
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.
