Correct application
~This steam combi oven is designed for domestic use and for use
in similar environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed &
breakfasts and other typical living quarters. This does not include
common/shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels,
motels or bed & breakfasts.
~The steam combi oven is not suitable for outdoor use.
~This steam combi oven must only be used as described in these
instructions.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous.
~This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person
responsible for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of
misuse.
Warning and Safety instructions

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
operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to
use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
~Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
~Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam combi oven
and do not let them play with it.

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).

~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.
