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.
 This steam oven is intended for domestic use only as described in
these operating instructions.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
 The steam oven can only be used by people with reduced physi‐
cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowl‐
edge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the conse‐
quences of incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appli‐
ance unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children 8 years and older may only use the steam oven unsuper‐
vised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean the steam oven unsuper‐
vised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do
not let them play with it.
 Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
 Danger of burning. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high
temperatures than that of adults. Make sure that children do not at‐
tempt to open the door when the appliance is in operation. Keep
children well away from the appliance until it has cooled down and
there is no danger of burning.
 Danger of injury. The oven door can support a maximum weight
of 8 kg. Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it or swing
on it.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re‐
pairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check
it for visible signs of damage before using it.
 Reliable and safe operation of this steam oven can only be assur‐
ed 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 re‐
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa‐
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
 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).
 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 danger‐
ous to the user and can cause operational faults.
 While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be un‐
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu‐
ine 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 by a suit‐
ably 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.
 If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),
ensure that the door is never closed whilst the steam oven is in use.
Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and
cause subsequent damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and
the floor. Do not close the door until the steam oven has cooled
down completely.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
 Danger of burning. The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior,
cooked food, oven accessories or hot steam. Wear oven gloves
when placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting
oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
Take care when putting cooking containers into the oven or remov‐
ing them not to spill the contents.
 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 temperature- (to 100°C) and steam-resistant plastic dishes. Fol‐
low the manufacturer's instructions.
 Food which is left in the oven to be kept hot can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the appliance.
Do not use the steam oven for keeping food warm and do not use
utensils in the appliance which could corrode.
 You could injure yourself on the open oven door.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
 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 ap‐
pliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric
shock hazard.
 The steam oven 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 Service De‐
partment.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Do not immerse the water container in water, or clean it in a dish‐
washer. 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.
 Danger of burning. There may be some residual hot water in the
water container at the end of a cooking process. Take care not to
spill the contents when taking the water container out of the appli‐
ance.
 To avoid the risk of scratches, do not use the casing as a resting
place for items.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short cir‐
cuit.
 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 for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care").
Ensure that they are replaced correctly and do not use the oven
without them fitted.
 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 with this appliance.
Using accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guar‐
antee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Location advice
 The safety distance of 150 mm between the appliance door when
closed and the front edge of the worktop/table top must be at least
150 mm.

Caring for the environment
14
Disposal of the packing mate‐
rial
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 manufactur‐
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances of‐
ten contain valuable materials. They al‐
so contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐
tentially 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 com‐
munity waste collection / recycling cen‐
tre or contact your Dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

Water container
The maximum water level is 1.2 litres,
the minimum 0.75 litres. These levels
are indicated both inside and outside
the container. Do not exceed the maxi‐
mum level.
The amount of water used will depend
on the type of food and the duration of
cooking. Water will sometimes need to
be replenished during the cooking
process. Water consumption is in‐
creased if the door is opened during
cooking.
If the symbol is flashing, either the
water container is not pushed in cor‐
rectly or there is not enough water in it.
Condensate tray
When using perforated containers,
place the condensate tray on the lowest
shelf level to collect any drops of liquid
and allow them to be removed easily.
You can also use the condensate tray
as a cooking container if necessary.
Temperature
The steam oven has a temperature
range of 40 °C to 100°C. The appliance
is set at 100 °C when the oven is
switched on. You can alter the tempera‐
ture in 5 °C steps.
Recommended temperature
Temperature When to use
100 °C – Cooking all types of
food
– Reheating
– Menu cooking
(cooking whole
meals)
– Bottling
– Extracting juice

Duration
You can set a duration between 1 mi‐
nute (:) and 9 hours 59 minutes
(:). If the duration exceeds 59 mi‐
nutes you have to enter it in hours and
minutes. Example: Duration 80 minutes
= 1:20.
Noises
You can hear the noise of the fan when
the appliance is operating. Noises simi‐
lar to those of a kettle can be heard
when steam is being generated.
Heating-up phase
During the heating-up phase the oven
compartment is heated to the set tem‐
perature. The display will show the tem‐
perature in 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 cooking refrigerated or frozen
food.
Filling the water container with hot wa‐
ter 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
will be shown in the display.
