Warning and safety instructions
7

~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

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

guarantee.
Warning and safety instructions
8

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.

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. 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
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 dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

The maximum water level is 1.2 litres, the minimum 1.0 litre.
The water level markers are located inside and outside the
container. On no account exceed the upper or maximum
level marker.
The maximum quantity of 1.2 litres of water is sufficient to run
a cooking programme at 100 °C for approx. 2 hours, and the
minimum quantity of 0.75 litres of water is sufficient to run a
cooking programme at 100 °C for approx. 30 minutes,
providing the door is not opened.
The water level in the water container is represented by a
symbol in the display.
Condensate container
Condensate which is created during a programme using
steam is pumped into the condensate container. The
maximum capacity is 1.2 litres.
Grease filter
Fit the grease filter for all roasting programmes.
It should be removed when using steam programmes.
It must be removed when baking, as otherwise results can be
uneven (Exception: fit the grease filter when baking open
deep fresh fruit flans, e.g. plum or damson or pizza with lots
of topping).
Description of the functions
18

Food probe
The food probe measures the core temperature of the food.
Using the food probe enables the cooking process to be
monitored simply and reliably.
Please refer to the separate "User instructions" booklet
supplied with the oven for information on how to use the
food probe.
Temperature / Core temperature
Some functions have recommended temperatures and where
appropriate a pre-set core temperature for the food probe.
You can alter the recommended temperature within a given
range (see "Functions") for an individual cooking process or
permanently (see "Settings"). You can alter the core
temperature for the food probe within a given range for an
individual cooking process or a cooking stage.
Cooking duration (time)
Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of
between 1 minute and 6, 10 or 12 hours.
The duration for the Automatic, Maintenance and Menu
cooking programmes is set at the factory and cannot be
altered.
On functions and programmes that use steam alone, the
cooking duration does not start to count down until the set
temperature has been reached; on all other functions and
programmes, it begins immediately.
Moisture level
The Combination mode and Reheat functions use a
combination of fan heat and moisture. You can alter the
moisture level inside the appliance within a given range for an
individual cooking programme or a cooking stage.
Description of the functions
19

Noises
You can hear a humming sound when the appliance is
switched on, during operation or after the appliance has been
switched off.
This sound does not indicate a malfunction or fault with the
appliance. It occurs when water is being pumped in or out of
the appliance.
When the appliance is operating you can hear the noise of
the fan.
Heating-up phase
While the appliance is heating up to the temperature which
has been set, the rising temperature inside the oven and
"Heating-up phase" show in the display.
Exception: Automatic, Menu cooking, Reheating,
Maintenance.
Steam cooking
When cooking with steam, 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 preparing
refrigerated or frozen food.
Steam reduction
with steam programmes
The steam reduction function will switch on automatically at
the end of a cooking programme which uses a temperature of
over 75 °C. This reduces the amount of steam which escapes
when the door is opened. "Steam reduction" will appear in
addition to "Programme finished".
You can switch off the steam reduction function (see
"Settings / Steam reduction").
