Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the steam oven. They contain important information on
safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both
personal injury and damage to the steam oven.
In accordance with standard IEC/EN60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the steam oven as well as the safety
instructions and warnings.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Correct application
 This steam oven is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 This steam oven is not intended for outdoor use.
 The steam oven is intended for domestic use only to steam-cook,
defrost, reheat and cook food.
All other types of use are not permitted.
 Fire hazard due to flammable materials.
If flammable items are dried using microwave power, the moisture in
the items will evaporate. This could cause the materials to dry out
and possibly self-ignite.
Never use the steam oven to store or dry items which could ignite
easily.
 The steam oven can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.
 The oven compartment is equipped with special lamps to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). These special lamps
must only be used for the purpose for which they are intended. They
are not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be
fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by your Miele dealer.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Safety with children
 Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam oven inadvertently.
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the steam
oven unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the steam oven without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.
Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean the steam oven
unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do
not let them play with it.
 Risk of suffocation due to packaging material. Whilst playing,
children may become entangled in packaging material (such as
plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head, presenting the risk of
suffocation.
Keep packaging material away from children.
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. Children’s skin is
far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. During
operation, steam will escape out of the ventilation outlet. The door
glass and control panel of the steam oven heats up.
Do not let children touch the steam oven when it is in operation.
Keep children well away from the steam oven until it has cooled
down and there is no danger of injury.
 Risk of injury from the open door.

could injure themselves on an open door.
Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 Radiation by microwaves:
Service or repairs which necessitate the removal of any casing must
only be carried out by a suitably trained service technician.
 Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check
it for visible signs of damage before using it.
 Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage. If any
damage is noticed, the oven should not be used again in Microwave
mode until the fault has been rectified by a service technician.
 Operating a damaged steam oven can result in microwave
leakage and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the steam oven
if:
– the door is warped
– the front of the oven compartment is dented or bowed
– the door hinges are loose
– holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven
compartment interior walls
– there is moisture between the door panes
 Reliable and safe operation of this steam oven can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match
the mains electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to
the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 Do not connect the steam oven to the mains electricity supply by
a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard).
 For safety reasons, this steam oven may only be used when it has
been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
 This steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
 Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical
connections or components and mechanical parts is highly
dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.
 While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised technician. Otherwise the warranty
is invalidated.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the appliance must be connected to the
electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
 If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special connection cable (see “Electrical connection”).
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture front (e.g. a door),
do not close the furniture front while the steam oven is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind the furniture front when closed.
This can result in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and
the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the steam oven has
cooled down completely.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Correct use
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven
gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the oven
compartment, side runners, accessories, food or steam.
Wear oven gloves when placing hot food in the oven or removing it
and when adjusting oven shelves, for example, in a hot oven
compartment.
 Risk of injury caused by hot food.
Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or
removing it. The food can cause burns.
When placing cooking containers into the oven or removing them,
make sure that the hot food does not spill.
 Risk of injury caused by hot water.
At the end of a cooking programme, hot water left in the steam
generator is pumped back into the water container. Take care not to
tip the water container when taking it out of the appliance.
 Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed jars
and tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing
damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.
 Plastic dishes which are not heat- and steam resistant melt at high
temperatures and can damage the appliance.
Use only heat-resistant (to 100°C) and steam-resistant plastic
dishes for steam-cooking. Follow the instructions from the crockery
manufacturer’s instructions.
 Food which is stored in the oven compartment can dry out and
the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam
oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use
any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
 Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 The door can support a maximum weight of 8kg. Do not sit on or
lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.
Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and
the oven cavity. The steam oven could get damaged.
 When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,
near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the
appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock
hazard.
Microwave function
 Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting
than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively
long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could
even cause it to catch fire.
 The microwave function is used to reheat food and
beverages. Do not use the Microwave function for drying
flowers, herbs, bread or other flammable materials which could
catch fire and cause injury by burning.
 It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high.
This can be achieved by stirring or turning the food, and observing a
sufficiently long standing time (see charts), which should be added
to the time needed for reheating, defrosting or cooking.
During the standing time, the temperature is distributed evenly in the
food.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
 Risk of injury caused by hot food. When heating food up, the heat
is created directly in the food itself. For this reason the crockery will
remain cooler than the food (except when using oven-proof
stoneware). The crockery is only warmed by the heat of the food.
Before serving, always check the temperature of the actual food
itself after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container
is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This
is particularly important when preparing food for babies,
children, and the elderly or infirm. After reheating food, especially
food for babies and small children, stir the food or shake the
container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger
of burning. Double check after it has been left to stand.
 The Microwave function is not suitable for cleaning or
disinfecting items because it may involve high temperatures. There is
a risk of burning when items are removed from the oven.
 Risk of injury from increased pressure in closed containers or
bottles. Pressure can build up during reheating in sealed containers
or bottles, causing them to explode.
Never cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers or bottles.
Open containers beforehand. In the case of baby bottles, the screw
top and teat must be removed.
 When heating food, and in particular liquids, using the
Microwave function, the boiling point may be reached without
the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly
throughout. This boiling delay can result in the liquid boiling over
explosively. Take care when taking the container out of the oven, as
the hot liquid can cause severe scalding. Under certain
circumstances, the pressure can be so high that the door opens
automatically.
Stir liquids well before heating. After heating, wait at least
20seconds before removing the container from the oven
compartment. In addition, a glass rod or similar item, if available, can
be placed in the container during heating.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
 Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power
only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first.
The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
 Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven.
They can only be cooked in their shells using the steam cooking
function or in an appropriate automatic programme. Hard-boiled
eggs must not be reheated with microwave power either as they too
will explode.
 Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausage,
potatoes and aubergines can burst when heated or cooked.
Pierce or score the skin of these types of food several times to allow
steam to escape.
 Do not use the microwave function to heat up cushions or
pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or gel, such as
those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated
even after they have been removed from the oven.
 To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if there is
smoke inside the steam oven. Interrupt the programme by switching
the steam oven off and disconnecting the power plug. Do not open
the door until the smoke has dispersed.
 Containers and lids with hollow handles or knobs can collect
moisture in the hollow spaces. When the moisture evaporates,
pressure can build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess
is sufficiently ventilated, the item can be used.
Do not use crockery with hollow knobs or handles when using the
Microwave function.

Warning and Safety instructions
17
 Non-microwave-safe plastic dishes can sustain damage or
damage the steam oven if used with the Microwave function or
with functions that use microwave power.
Do not use any crockery or cutlery made from or containing metal,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics,
wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips, or plastic or paper-covered
wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the
foil lid only partially removed (see the requirements specified for
crockery in the section on microwave operation).
 Fire hazard due to containers made of flammable materials.
Plastic disposable containers must meet the requirements specified
for crockery in the section on microwave operation.
Do not leave the steam oven unattended when heating or cooking
food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other
inflammable materials.
 Heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil
that reflects microwave radiation. This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
Do not use heat-retaining packaging, such as bags for grilled
chicken, for warming food with functions that use microwave power.
 If the steam oven is used without food or the food is loaded
incorrectly when using the microwave function or functions that
use microwave power, the steam oven can become damaged. Do
not use the Microwave function or functions that use microwave
power to preheat crockery or to dry herbs. Never start the
Microwave function when the oven compartment is empty.

Warning and Safety instructions
18
Cleaning and care
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause
a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
 Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Do
not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean the door glass.
 The side runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care –
Cleaning the side runners”).
Refit the side runners correctly.
 The side runners fit into plastic bushes. Check the bushes
carefully for damage. If the bushes are damaged, do not use any
Microwave functions until the bushes have been replaced.
 Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids
containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to
avoid corrosion to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet.
Accessories
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept
liability.

Caring for the environment
19
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Miele dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.
