Safety with children
~Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the appliance inadvertently.
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the

adults. External parts of the appliance such as the door glass,
control panel and the vents become quite hot during use. Do not let
children touch the oven whilst it is in use.
~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.

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.
~A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible
signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
~The electrical safety of this steam oven 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 appliance 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 appliance may only be used after it has
been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
~This appliance 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.

ImportAppliances.com

~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
appliance is supplied without a plug, the appliance must be
connected to the electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
If the cable is damaged it must be replaced with the correct cable
by a Miele authorised technician only. See "Electrical connection" for
more information.
~During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
~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.

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 bottle or heat up food in sealed containers in the oven, as
pressure can build up in the container causing it to explode.
~You could injure yourself on the open oven door or trip over it.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
~Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not put
the flames out with water.
Switch the oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames
carefully using a suitable lid or fire blanket.
~Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
steam oven when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the steam
oven to heat up the room.
~To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the door if smoke
occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching the
appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do
not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.
~If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can
catch fire on hot heating elements.

THE EASIEST WAY TO SELF-IMPORT APPLIANCES DIRECT FROM EUROPE.
~Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven can
melt at high temperatures and can even damage the steam oven or
catch fire.
Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer
as being suitable for use in a steam oven. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on use. If you want to use plastic containers for
steaming food make sure that they are temperature resistant to
100 °C and steam resistant. Any other plastic containers could melt,
become brittle or break when subjected to heat.
~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 oven for keeping food warm and do not use utensils
in the appliance which could corrode.
~Never cover the floor of the oven with aluminium foil, or place
oven dishes, pans, saucepans or trays directly onto the floor of the
oven.
~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 oven could get damaged.
~When using a small electrical appliance 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.
~Do not operate the appliance without the lamp cover. Steam
could could reach 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.
Warning and Safety instructions

ImportAppliances.com
THE EASIEST WAY TO SELF-IMPORT APPLIANCES DIRECT FROM EUROPE.
~The appliance 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.
~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.
~Take care not to tip the water container when taking it out of the
appliance. Hot water can scald.
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.

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 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.
