Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the

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.
 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
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.
 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 guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the
guarantee 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 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.

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 removing
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.
Follow 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
appliance 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
Department.

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.
 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
appliance.

Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach 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 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 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
13
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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
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
maximum 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
increased if the door is opened during
cooking.
If the  symbol is flashing, either the
water container is not pushed in
correctly 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
temperature 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
minute (:) and 9 hours 59 minutes
(:). If the duration exceeds 59
minutes 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
similar 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
temperature. The display will show the
temperature 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
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
will be shown in the display.
