~This appliance is supplied with a
moulded plug ready for connection to a
switched socket. If you wish to connect
it to a double-pole fused spur
connection unit, or to an isolator switch,
or if the appliance is supplied without a
plug, it must be installed and
connected by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance
with current local and national safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
built in. This is necessary to ensure that
all electrical components are shielded.
~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.
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician with a specialist
connection cable of type H 05 V V-F
(pvc insulated), available from the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
–the mains fuse is disconnected, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable), or
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is withdrawn from the
socket, or it is switched off at the
isolator.
~While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
~Do not connect the steam oven to
the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation by
cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
~For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
~If the oven is still hot, steam will
escape when the door is opened. Stan-
d back away from the appliance and
wait until the steam has dissipated.
~When putting cooking containers or
the condensate tray into the oven or
taking them out, take care not to spill
the contents. Avoid contact with hot
steam, and do not touch the hot oven
interior walls. Danger of burning and
scalding.
~If using plastic cooking containers,
make sure that they are heat- and
steam-resistant to 100 °C. Otherwise
they may melt, distort or break.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up
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.
~Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. Therefore, when cooking or
reheating food such as poultry, it is
particularly important that the food is
completely cooked through. If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
~Do not leave cooked food in the
oven and do not use any cooking
containers which are susceptible to
corrosion as this could lead to
corrosion in the appliance.
~The appliance is designed in such a
way that there will always be a little
residual water left in the water container
after use. If there is no residual water,
there is something wrong. Call the Ser-
vice Department.
~Do not immerse the water container
in water or clean it in a dishwasher.
Connecting the water container into the
appliance when wet could cause an
electric shock.
~For reasons of hygiene and to
prevent the build-up of moisture in the
appliance, the water container should
be emptied after each use.
~Take care not to tip the water
container when taking it out of the
appliance. Hot water can scald.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

~When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the
steam oven, ensure that the cable of
the electrical appliance cannot get
trapped by the steam oven door. The
insulation on the cable could become
damaged, giving rise to an electric
shock hazard.
~Do not place heavy objects on the
open door. The door can support a
maximum weight of 8 kg.
~If the appliance is installed behind a
kitchen furniture door, it may only be
used with the furniture door open.
Only close the door when the appliance
is not in use and is completely dry
inside.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often 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 dealer for

Setting the correct boiling point for water
The boiling point for water at a high altitude above sea level
will be lower than the boiling point for water at sea level. To
adjust the boiling point for the altitude in your area, fill the
water container with mains tap water (see "Operation /
Preparing the appliance for use") and then run the appliance
at 100 °C for 15 minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation".
This procedure sets the correct boiling point for water for the
altitude in your area and also flushes out the waterways.
Warning! A lot of steam will be emitted from the appliance.
If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for
the new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than
300 m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and
care / Descaling").
