Warning and Safety instructions
6
This steam oven complies with all applicable safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and
material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the steam oven. They contain important information on
safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both
personal injury and damage to the steam oven.
In accordance with standard IEC/EN60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the steam oven as well as the safety
instructions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
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.
 The steam oven is intended for domestic use only to steam-cook,
defrost and reheat food.
All other types of use are not permitted.
 The steam oven can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Safety with children
 Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam oven inadvertently.
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the steam
oven unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the steam oven without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.
Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean the steam oven
unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do
not let them play with it.
 Risk of suffocation due to packaging material. Whilst playing,
children may become entangled in packaging material (such as
plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head, presenting the risk of
suffocation.
Keep packaging material away from children.
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. Children’s skin is
far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. During
operation, steam will escape out of the ventilation outlet. The door
glass and control panel of the steam oven heats up.
Do not let children touch the steam oven when it is in operation.
Keep children well away from the steam oven until it has cooled
down and there is no danger of injury.
 Risk of injury from the open door.
The oven door can support a maximum weight of 8kg. Children
could injure themselves on an open door.
Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be
undertaken by a Miele authorised technician. Otherwise the warranty
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 (see “Electrical connection”).
 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 front (e.g. a door),
do not close the furniture front while the steam oven is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind the furniture front when closed.
This can result in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and
the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the steam oven has
cooled down completely.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven
gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the oven
compartment, side runners, accessories, food or steam.
Wear oven gloves when placing hot food in the oven or removing it
and when adjusting oven shelves, for example, in a hot oven
compartment.
 Risk of injury caused by hot food.
Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or
removing it. The food can cause burns.
When placing cooking containers into the oven or removing them,
make sure that the hot food does not spill.
 Risk of injury caused by hot water.
At the end of a cooking programme, hot water left in the steam
generator is pumped back into the water container. 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.
 Plastic dishes which are not heat and steam-resistant melt at high
temperatures and can damage the appliance.
Use only heat-resistant (to 100°C) and steam-resistant plastic
dishes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
 Food which is stored in the oven compartment can dry out and
the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam
oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use
any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
 Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 The door can support a maximum weight of 8kg. Do not sit on or
lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.
Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and
the oven cavity. The steam oven could get damaged.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Cleaning and care
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause
a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
 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 (see “Cleaning and care –
Cleaning the side runners”).
Refit the side runners correctly.
 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
14
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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also 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 Miele dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.
