          Cooling system and touch-cool fronts
        
        
          All surfaces of and around the steam combination oven
        
        
          remain cool. This ensures that controls, handles and
        
        
          adjacent cabinets stay cool to the touch. For a high
        
        
          degree of safety and protection against burns this system
        
        
          prevents steam building up on the fascia and ensures low contact
        
        
          temperature on the front of the machine.
        
        
          Energy efficiency
        
        
          In European energy efficiency testing Miele steam
        
        
          combination ovens excel with lowest energy
        
        
          consumption. This saves money and protects the
        
        
          environment.
        
        
          Food probe
        
        
          Precise results on fish, meat and poultry: the food probe
        
        
          measures the core temperature in roasts, providing
        
        
          information on the remaining cooking time. No need to monitor
        
        
          the cooking process. Some models feature a wireless food probe.
        
        
          Fully fledged steam oven and all the functions of a
        
        
          conventional oven
        
        
          XL steam combination ovens leave nothing to be desired. As a
        
        
          fully fledged steam oven, it has all the benefits as described in the
        
        
          chapter on steam ovens. It is also a fully functioning conventional
        
        
          oven with all well-known operating modes such as Fan Plus, top
        
        
          and bottom heat and grill. It really shows its versatility with
        
        
          ‘Combi cooking’ – a combination of moist and dry heat ensuring
        
        
          outstanding baking and roasting results.
        
        
          Halogen lighting
        
        
          Halogen lighting provides optimum light and visibility in the oven
        
        
          cabinet. A flush installation guarantees easy cleaning of side
        
        
          panels.
        
        
          Keep warm function
        
        
          Food is kept at serving temperature for up to 15 minutes after the
        
        
          programme has ended, without loss of quality. It is therefore not a
        
        
          problem should anyone be delayed for a few minutes.
        
        
          Motorised lift-up fascia panel
        
        
          The unique panel opens at the touch of a button to
        
        
          reveal the water container, condensation container and
        
        
          the wireless food probe for extra convenience and more
        
        
          space in the oven cabinet. The panel opens at the touch of a
        
        
          button and the water tank and condensation container move
        
        
          forward for easy removal. The water container can be filled and
        
        
          the condensation container emptied without opening the
        
        
          appliance door. The fascia is also inclined for greater convenience
        
        
          and a clear view of the display.
        
        
          Automatic menu cooking
        
        
          Up to three different dishes can be cooked simultaneously in the
        
        
          automatic menu cooking programme. Temperature, cooking time
        
        
          and sequence in which dishes are added are automatically
        
        
          controlled. The appliance indicates when and on which level the
        
        
          dishes should be placed in the oven, so each one is ready at the
        
        
          same time. Cooking a complete menu stress-free in one single
        
        
          process.
        
        
          Automatic programmes
        
        
          Intelligent automatic programmes for cooking various
        
        
          types of food simplify your everyday tasks in the kitchen.
        
        
          Manual selection of temperature and duration is not
        
        
          required. For many dishes the level of doneness (e.g. the degree
        
        
          of browning) can be individually set for perfect cooking results
        
        
          every time. Achieving utmost culinary delights simply and safely.
        
        
          CleanSteel
        
        
          Miele stainless-steel appliances feature a particularly
        
        
          high-grade CleanSteel finish. This allows for
        
        
          exceptionally easy cleaning. Thanks to CleanSteel,
        
        
          fingerprints are barely visible.
        
        
          Climate sensor
        
        
          Miele’s climate sensor measures and regulates the humidity level
        
        
          inside the oven cabinet. Even the moisture content of food is
        
        
          taken into account. This allows for the adjustment of the
        
        
          microclimate to suit different types of food.
        
        
          Clock/timer functions
        
        
          By selecting a start and finish time or the duration of the cooking
        
        
          process, meals are prepared to perfection and ready at your
        
        
          convenience. The process is completed automatically at the
        
        
          appropriate time. The time-of-day is saved for up to 200 hours in
        
        
          the event of a power failure. When the power supply is restored,
        
        
          the current time appears in the display – no need to reset.
        
        
          Combination cooking
        
        
          Freely selectable combinations of steam and other
        
        
          operating modes: temperature (40°C to 225°C) and
        
        
          humidity (20% to 100%) are freely selectable and can be
        
        
          varied up to 6 times in quick succession. This offers maximum
        
        
          flexibility for best baking and roasting results.
        
        
          Condensation container
        
        
          The condensation container collects excess condensed steam
        
        
          which ensures a pleasant room climate. This also makes cleaning
        
        
          the cabinet extremely easy.
        
        
          Cooking on three levels
        
        
          You can cook on up to three levels at a time in Miele steam
        
        
          combination ovens. Even different dishes can be cooked together
        
        
          because there is no cross-over of taste or smell. This allows you
        
        
          to cook a complete menu for several people. Every dish retains its
        
        
          own authentic flavour.
