Compact steam and dry-heat cooking with a distinct finish

Miele's DualSteam technology introduces steam from two points inside the 45cm cavity, so vegetables, proofed dough and roasts come out evenly cooked rather than patchy at the edges. The DirectSensor display uses large, clear touch controls, so setting a program takes one glance rather than scrolling through menus.

Combination cooking layers steam with conventional heat, which is what gives a chicken thigh a crisp skin while keeping the meat succulent, and lets bread develop a proper crust without drying the crumb underneath. The water container sits behind an automatic panel rather than as an exposed tank, so topping up stays tidy and out of view. Inside, a stainless steel cavity paired with the HydroClean function means baked-on marks lift with a short automatic cycle instead of scrubbing by hand.

Finished in Pearl Beige rather than standard stainless or black, this compact oven suits a kitchen where every appliance finish has been chosen deliberately. At 595mm wide and 456mm high, it slots into a column build alongside a full-size oven or warming drawer, and earns its place for households that steam and bake as part of a regular routine rather than the odd occasion.
