Problem
After moving house the
appliance no longer
switches from the
heating-up phase to the
cooking phase.
During operation an
unusually large amount
of steam escapes or
steam escapes from
parts of the steam oven
where it does not
usually.
A whistling sound is
heard when the
appliance is switched
on again.
The heating-up phase
lasts an unusually long
time.
The Start at and Finish at
functions have not
worked.
The oven lighting
doesn't come on.
Possible cause and remedy
Altitude affects the boiling point of water. If you move
house, the appliance will need to be reset for the new
altitude if this differs from the old one by more than
300 m.
 To adjust the boiling temperature, you need to
descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care -
Descaling").
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.
 Replace the door seal.
This can be ordered from Miele (see the end of this
booklet for contact details).
When the door is closed, the pressure has to
equalise, which can cause a whistling sound. This is
not a fault.
The water container has a lot of limescale built-up in it
because the appliance was not set correctly for the
hardness of the local water supply.
 Set the correct water hardness level for your water
supply (see "Settings).
 Proceed as described in "Cleaning and care -
Descaling".
 If the water hardness level was in fact set correctly
or the problem occurs again, contact Miele.
The oven compartment temperature is too high, e.g.
after a programme has finished.
 Leave the door open to cool down the oven
compartment.
These functions are not available with
The lamp needs to be replaced.
 Call Miele to have the lamp replaced.
