Can you drain a plumbed Miele combi steam oven outside?
Comments (5)Drain line from steam oven would be mostly warm water. There may be a bit of food scrap in small pieces. I often see bread crumbs when I run rinsing program on the oven floor. Generally these shouldn't be any harmful for plant. The oven requires descaling every now and then. And that's probably your main consideration where it should drain to. Another point, is that if there is no odor trap, would there be any crawlies trying to get into your oven?...See MoreMiele combi steam plumbed or not?
Comments (10)Yes, 6805 has a drain line. Miele non plumb (6800 for example) has two containers, waste/condensate container and fresh container. For 6805, there is only fresh water reservoir. Plumbing takes care of filling the reservoir automatically, as well as draining out all the waste. In descaling program, descaling tablets must be dissolved in the reservoir manually. Half way through the program, small amount of left over solution must be emptied out manually before the machine refill the reservoir with fresh water and rinse itself. Emptying the reservoir after each use is mainly for limescale prevention per manual. I have soft water so don't follow Miele's instruction of emptying to after every use....See MoreCombi steam ovens: plumbed vs. water tank
Comments (8)I did a fair amount of research several months ago on the plumbed units, and it's true that reviews generally agree you should do a water tank unit over getting plumbing to a built-in steamer if you are getting one at all. There are a fair number of threads here at Houzz that cover this topic if you'd like to do more of your own research. I would think there might be a way to clean out the pipes if needed if you went with plumbing, and given that you are doing a new build, now is the easiest and least expensive time to plan that into your deisgn. If you're using it four times a week, that sounds like pretty frequent usage to me. Most people with steamers aren't using them that frequently....See MoreProofing mode on Miele DGC 6765 combi steam oven
Comments (6)Thanks everyone! Good to know that proofing temperature and moisture range is wider than I thought. I’ve only ever proofed on the countertop or maybe near a warm oven and it often takes longer than I’d like for my dough to rise. I wasn’t sure if Proofing mode was included in the Special Modes for this model. (To be clear I don’t have it yet, just trying to decide which to buy for our kitchen renovation.) The manual seems kind of generic for Miele combi-steam ovens and not specific to the DGC 6765. Maybe they all have the same modes, though. The specs page for this model just says it has “special modes” but not which ones. Miele could be a lot clearer about this! The spec sheet also says the temp range is 85-435 F as an oven and 105-212 F as a steam oven. But for proofing, the manual says to set it to 86 F and 100% moisture. Does that mean you can have steam at below 105 F? Sorry for the naive questions; I’ve just never had a chance to try one of these....See Morerhay
