Warning and Safety instructions
5

Correct application
~This steam oven is designed for domestic use and for use in
similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &
breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts.
~The steam oven is not suitable for outdoor use.
~This steam oven must only be used as described in these
instructions.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous.
~This steam oven is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised
whilst using it or have been given instruction concerning its use by a
person responsible for their safety. They must also be aware of the
potential dangers caused by incorrect operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

Safety with children
~Young children must not be allowed to use this steam oven.
~Older children may only use the steam oven when its operation
has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it
safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
~Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
~This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep
children well away and do not allow them to play with it or to use the
controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it.
They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
~Risk of suffocation!
Children may be able to wrap themselves in packing material or pull
it over their heads with the risk of suffocation.
Keep children away from any packing material.
~Risk of scalding due to hot steam!
Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of
adults. Make sure children do not open the door while the steam
oven is in use. To safeguard against burning, keep children well
away from the appliance until it has cooled down sufficiently.
~Danger of injury! Children can hurt themselves on an open door.
Ensure that children do not swing on the door.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

Technical safety
~Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
~A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for any
visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged
appliance.
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
~Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure
that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household 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 unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~This steam oven must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
~Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions

~The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
~Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
~If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is not
supplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to the
mains supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
~If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a
suitably qualified electrician with a specialist connection cable of
type H 05 VV-F (pvc insulated), available from Miele.
~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.
Do not pull on the mains connection cable but on the mains plug
to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.
~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
warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
~Danger of burning!
The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
Exercise care when handling food and trays so as not to burn
yourself on heating elements, the walls of the steam oven, shelf
runners, trays and hot food itself.
Use oven gloves when placing food in the steam oven, turning or
removing it and when adjusting shelves etc. in a hot steam oven.
When putting cooking containers into the steam oven or taking them
out, take care not to spill the contents.
~Danger of burning!
Hot water may be located in the water container at the end of a
cooking programme. 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.
~Do not leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may
be injured by it.
~Plastic containers that cannot withstand high temperatures and
hot steam may melt and cause damage to the appliance.
Only use plastic containers that can withstand high temperatures
(up to 100 °C) and steam. Please follow the container
manufacturer's instructions.
~Food which is left in the steam oven can dry out and the escaping
moisture can lead to corrosion in the appliance. Do not leave
cooked food in the steam oven and do not use any cooking
containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~For reasons of hygiene and to prevent the build-up of moisture in
the appliance, the water container should be emptied after each
use.
~To avoid the risk of scratches, do not use the casing as a resting
place for items.
Cleaning and care
~Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
~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 shelf runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care").
Ensure they are correctly fitted after cleaning and never operate the
steam oven without the shelf runners fitted.
~Do not immerse the water container in water, or clean it in a
dishwasher. Inserting the water container in the appliance when wet
could cause an electric shock.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele spare parts and accessories with this
steam oven. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers
are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept
liability.
Warning and Safety instructions

Installation note
The safety distance from the closed appliance door to the front edge

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactu-
ring process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure
that any plastic wrappings, bags etc.
are disposed of safely and kept out of
the reach of babies and young chil-
dren. 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 hu-
man health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Do not dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre. Please ensure that it presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.
