carefully before using it for the first
time. They contain important notes
on its installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and ensure that new users are
familiar with the content. Pass them
on to any future owner.

Warning and safety instructions
6

Safety with children
~Activate the system lock to ensure
that children cannot switch on the
appliance inadvertently.
~Keep children away from the steam
combi 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
combi oven for visible signs of damage.
Do not install and use a damaged
appliance. It could be dangerous.
~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, ensure that the
connection data on the data plate
(voltage and frequency) match the
mains supply. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is observed 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 must be installed
and connected 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 housing 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
Miele authorised 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.
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
~If the connection cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by a suitably
qualified electrician 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 combi
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 (e.g.
danger of overheating).
~In countries where there are 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

Correct use
~For added protection, it is advisable
to 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.
~Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or
fats, as these are a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
~If oil or fat catches fire, do not
attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket or fire
extinguisher.
~Do not exceed the recommended
grilling times when using the Full grill,
Economy grill and Fan grill functions.
Excessively long grilling times can lead
to food drying out and burning, or could
even cause it to catch fire.
~Do not use the Full grill, Economy
grill or Fan grill to finish baking
part-cooked rolls or bread or to dry
flowers or herbs. Fire hazard. Use Fan
plus or Conventional heat instead.
~If using alcohol in your recipes, high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to
vaporise and even ignite on the hot
heating elements. Alcohol should be
burnt off before the dish is placed in the
oven to avoid this danger.
~When putting cooking containers
into the steam combi 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.
~Do not store anything combustible in
the oven. This could be a fire hazard if
the appliance is switched on by
mistake.
~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.
~Do not use the appliance without the
filter in the bottom of the cooking
compartment in place. Otherwise
coarse soiling could get into the
drainage system and pump, causing a
blockage.
~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 silicone bakeware with
the steam/fan plus combination mode
as silicone is not steam-resistant.
~Never place a dish, tin, baking tray
or similar object on the oven floor. Do
not place the trays supplied directly
onto the oven floor.
Warning and safety instructions
9

~Never line the floor of the oven with
aluminium foil. Do not use protective
aluminium foil panels, available in retail
outlets which are intended to be used
to line the oven cavity and reduce the
need for cleaning. If used, cooking and
baking times would increase
considerably and they would block the
steam inlet.
~To prevent the risk of damage do
not leave the food probe in the steam
combi oven when it is not being used.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
~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.
~When using an electrical appliance,
e.g. a hand-held food blender, near the
steam combi oven, ensure that the
cable of the electrical appliance cannot
get trapped by the steam combi oven
door. 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 10 kg.
~Do not operate the appliance
without the lamp cover. Steam could
could get into the the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
Steam could also damage the electrical
components.
~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.
Accessories
~Only use the Miele food probe
supplied with this appliance. If a
replacement is necessary it can be
obtained from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or your Miele dealer.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
