Safety with children
~Activate the system lock to ensure
that children cannot switch on the
appliance inadvertently.
~Keep children away from the steam
oven at all times. It is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury do not allow
them to play with it or to play with the
controls. Supervise children whilst you
are using it.
~Older children may use the
appliance only when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and
they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of incorrect
use.
~Make sure that children do not
attempt to open the door when the
appliance is in operation. To safeguard
against burning, keep children well
away from the appliance at all times.
~Do not allow children to lean against
the open oven door, nor to sit on it or
swing on it.
~Packaging, e.g. cling film,
polystyrene and plastic wrappings,
must be kept out of the reach of babies
and young children. Danger of
suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all
packaging safely as soon as possible.
Technical safety
~Before installation, check the steam
oven for visible signs of damage. Do
not install and use a damaged
appliance. A damaged appliance is
dangerous.
~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, ensure that the
connection data on the data plate
(voltage and connected load) match
the mains supply. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which
complies with current local and national
safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested, and
where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Warning and Safety instructions

~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 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 with a special
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.
~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 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
7

Correct use
~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.
~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

~When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the
steam oven, ensure that the cable of
the electrical appliance does not come
into contact with the hot appliance. 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
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Condensate tray
When you are using perforated containers, place the
condensate tray on the floor of the appliance to collect any
drops of liquid and allow them to be removed easily.
Water container
The maximum water level is 1.2 litres, the minimum 0.75 litres.
The water level markers are located inside and outside the
container. On no account exceed the upper or maximum
level marker.
The maximum quantity of 1.2 litres of water is sufficient to run
a cooking programme at 100 °C for approx. 2 hours, and the
minimum quantity of 0.75 litres of water is sufficient to run a
cooking programme at 100 °C for approx. 30 minutes,
providing the door is not opened.
The water level in the water container is represented by a
symbol in the display.
Temperature
Some of the functions are allocated with a recommended
temperature. You can alter the recommended temperature for
an individual cooking process or permanently (see "Settings /
Recommended temperature").
Cooking duration (time)
A duration of between 1 minute (-:-1) and 10 hours (10:00)
can be set.
If you are using the numerical keypad, you must enter the
duration in hours and minutes if it is more than 59 minutes.
Example: Duration of 80 minutes = 1:20.
Noises
You can hear the noise of the fan when the appliance is
operating.
Noises similar to those of a kettle can be heard when steam is
being generated.
Description of the functions
16

Heating-up phase
During the heating-up phase the oven compartment is heated
to the set temperature. The display will show the temperature
of the cooking compartment as it rises.
The duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the
quantity and the temperature of the food. In general the
heating-up phase will last for approx. 7 minutes. The duration
will be longer if you are preparing frozen or refrigerated food.
Filling the water container with hot water will shorten the
heating-up time.
Cooking phase
The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is
reached. During the cooking phase the duration remaining
(time left) will be shown in the display.
Steam reduction
The steam oven is delivered with this function activated. It
reduces the amount of steam which escapes from the
appliance when the door is opened at the end of the cooking
duration. You can deactivate the steam reduction function
(see "Settings / Steam reduction").
Keeping warm
The steam oven is set at the factory so that if it is not switched
off at the end of a cooking programme, it will maintain a
temperature of 70°C for a maximum of 15 minutes to keep
food warm. You can deactivate the keeping warm function
(see "Settings / Keeping warm").
Please note that delicate food, especially fish, can continue
cooking whilst being kept warm.
Please refer to the "User instructions" booklet supplied with
your appliance for more information and tips on how to use
your steam oven.
