Cooking flexibility
The appliance combines steam cooking, microwave cooking, reheating, defrosting, rapid cooking and sous-vide in one cavity. Quick & Gentle microwave operation, automatic programmes and quantity-independent cooking are designed to make routine preparation more adaptable.
DualSteam uses two steam inlets and an external steam generator to support even steam distribution. The supplied information also identifies steam cooking across up to three levels, which should suit batch preparation and complete menus.
Capacity and everyday practicality
A 40-litre stainless-steel cavity with four shelf levels provides useful space for larger dishes and multi-level steaming. The four-level layout is particularly practical when preparing several portions at once.
Convenience features include a DirectSensor display, programmable start and end times, saved user programmes, a minute minder and keeping-warm function. Automatic descaling, a soak programme and removable side racks are intended to reduce cleaning effort.
Installation and connectivity
The 45cm built-in format can work well where a compact cooking appliance is required, but the specified niche dimensions should be checked carefully before installation. The appliance has a 3.30kW rated load and a 16A fuse rating.
Miele@home, MobileControl, RemoteService and WiFiConn@ct provide connected features for compatible smart-device use. Safety features include a touch-cool front, safety switch-off, system lock, sensor lock and vapour cooling.
