Safety with children
~Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam combi oven inadvertently.
~Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
~Older children may only use the steam combi oven when its

Technical safety
~Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
~A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for any
visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged
appliance.
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and
tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring
system should be inspected 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 unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~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.
~This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions

~Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.
~The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
~Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele
spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
~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. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is
applicable), or
–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull on the mains connection cable but on the
mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
~In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and
its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

Correct use
~Danger of burning!
The steam combi oven becomes hot when in use.
Exercise care when handling food and trays so as not to burn
yourself on heating elements, the walls of the steam combi oven,
shelf runners, trays, steam and hot food itself.
Use oven gloves when placing food in the steam combi oven,
turning or removing it and when adjusting shelves etc. in a hot oven.
When putting cooking containers into the steam combi oven or
taking them out, take care not to spill the contents.
~Do not use the steam combi 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.
~Do not leave the appliance door open unnecessarily as someone
may trip over it or be injured by it.
~Oils and fats are a fire hazard if allowed to overheat. Never leave
the appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fats.
Do not attempt to extinguish oil or fat fires with water. Switch off the
appliance and smother the flames with a lid or fire blanket.
~Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects left near the appliance could catch
fire.
~Make sure that you keep to the recommended grilling times when
using grilling functions. Excessively long grilling times can lead to
food drying out and burning or could even cause the food to catch
fire.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~Some types of food dry out quickly and can self-ignite if high grill
temperatures are used.
Never use Grill functions to finish baking part-cooked rolls or bread
or to dry flowers or herbs. Use Fan Plus or Conventional Heat for
this type of procedure.
~To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs in the oven interior. Cancel the cooking process by switching
the appliance off, then switch off at the socket and remove the plug.
Do not open the appliance door until the smoke has dispersed.
~If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite
on the hot heating elements.
~Plastic containers which are not heat-resistant melt, and may
ignite, at high temperatures and can damage the steam combi oven.
Use only heat-resistant plastic containers. Please follow the
container manufacturer's instructions. If you want to use plastic
containers in your steam combi oven, make sure they can resist
temperatures (up to 100 °C) and steam. Other plastic containers
may melt, distort or break.
~Food which is left in the steam combi oven can dry out and the
escaping moisture can lead to corrosion in the appliance. 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.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

~The door can support a maximum load of 10 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 compartment. The appliance could get damaged.
~Never use the steam combi oven without a floor filter as large
food residues may block the water outlet and the pump.
~To prevent the risk of damage, do not leave the food probe in the
steam combi oven when it is not being used.
~When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held mixer, near
the steam combi oven, ensure that the connection cable doesn't get
caught in the 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 attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Steam could also damage the electrical components.
~If the steam combi oven is built-in behind a furniture door, it must
only be operated when the door is open.
Close the furniture door only once the appliance has completely
dried out.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

Cleaning and care
~Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the 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 shelf runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care").
Ensure they are correctly fitted after cleaning and never operate the
oven without the shelf runners fitted.
Accessories
~Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If a
replacement is necessary, it can be ordered from Miele.
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 can normally 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. 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.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre. Please ensure that it presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.
