its intended purpose. This appliance

is intended for residential cooking

only.

This appliance conforms to all

uniform safety codes and

regulations.

Keep these operating instructions in

a safe place and pass them on to

when the Combi Steam Oven is used

near children. Do not allow children to

play with the Combi Steam Oven.

~Do not allow children to open the

~Packing materials (e.g. plastic wrap,

styrofoam) can be hazardous for

children. Danger of suffocation. Ensure

that any packing material is disposed of

safely and kept out of the reach of

children.

~Risk of burns!

The skin of children is more sensitive to

not allow children to touch the Combi

Steam Oven during operation.

~Risk of injury! The door can support

a maximum of 22 lb (10 kg). Children

appliance is in use. They should never

be allowed sit or stand on any part of

the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Technical safety

~Installation, repair and maintenance

work should only be performed by a

Miele authorized service technician to

avoid potential hazards. Installation,

repair and maintenance work should be

performed only by a Miele authorized

service technician.

~Before installation make sure that

the voltage and frequency listed on the

data plate correspond to the household

electrical supply.

This data must match in order to avoid

damage to the appliance. If in doubt,

consult a qualified electrician.

~Before installing the Combi Steam

Oven, check for externally visible

damage. Do not operate a damaged

appliance. A damaged appliance is

dangerous to your safety.

~Be certain your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a

qualified technician. To guarantee the

electrical safety of this appliance,

continuity must exist between the

appliance and an effective grounding

system. It is imperative that this basic

safety requirement be met. If there is

any doubt, have the electrical system of

the house checked by a qualified

electrician.

~Multiple power outlets or extension

cords are not safe (risk of fire). Do not

use them to connect the Combi Steam

Oven to the electrical power supply.

~Do not use the appliance until it has

been properly installed into cabinetry.

~Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug, or if the

appliance has been damaged in any

manner. Contact Miele’s Technical Ser-

vice Department.

~This Combi Steam Oven is not to be

used in mobile locations such as ships.

~Never open the outer casing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical

connections or components and

mechanical parts is dangerous and

could cause machine damage.

~Defective components should be

replaced by Miele original spare parts

only. Only with these parts can the

manufacturer guarantee the safety of

the appliance.

~The Combi Steam Oven must be

connected to the power supply by a

qualified electrician if the plug has

been removed from the power cord or if

there is no plug attached to the power

cord. A damaged power cord must be

replaced with a special cable. See

"Electrical connection".

~Repairs should only be performed

by an authorized service technician.

Otherwise the warranty is void.

~Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance unless specifically

recommended in the manual. All other

servicing should be reffered to a

qualified technician.

~Before installation or service,

disconnect the appliance from the

power supply by either removing the

fuse, "tripping" the circuit breaker or

unplugging the unit. Pull the plug not

the cord.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

User safety

~Danger of burns!

The Combi Steam Oven becomes hot

during use.

You can get burned by the heating

elements, oven interior, cooked food,

accessories and hot steam.

Protect your hands with oven mitts or

potholders when using the appliance.

Use only dry, heat resistant potholders.

Moist or damp potholders used on hot

surfaces can result in steam burns.

~Do not heat unopened food

containers. Pressure can build up

causing an explosion that will damage

the cooking compartment. There is also

a danger of personal injury and

scalding.

~Use care when opening the door -

let hot air or steam escape before

removing or replacing food.

~Do not store items on the appliance

when not in use. Items could melt or

catch fire from residual heat or if the

appliance is turned on inadvertently.

~Flammable materials should not be

stored in an oven or near surface units.

~You could hurt yourself on the open

door of the Combi Steam Oven or

stumble over it.

Do not leave the door open

unnecessarily.

~Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting

or hanging garments should never be

worn while using the appliance.

~Do not leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil or

grease. These items may ignite if

overheated. Danger of burns.

~Once hot grease or oil have ignited,

do not use water to extinguish the fire!

Smother the fire, for example, by using

a lid or a fire extinguisher.

~Never use the oven for warming or

heating the room.

~Keep the oven vent ducts open.

~Excessive cooking times result in

the drying out and possibly

spontaneous combustion of the food.

Maintain the recommended cooking

times.

~Some foods dry out quickly and can

ignite due to the high grill temperatures.

Never use broil modes for baking rolls

or bread and for drying flowers or

herbs. Use the "Convection Bake" or

"Surround" modes.

~Leave the oven door closed when

food in the oven interior starts to smoke

so as to smother any flames. Cancel

the operation by turning the Combi

Steam Oven off and unplugging the

power cord. Open the door only after

the smoke has dissipated.

~Be careful when using alcoholic

beverages like rum, whiskey, wine etc.

for baking or roasting. The alcohol

evaporates at high temperatures but

may in rare circumstances combust on

the hot heating elements.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~Always place oven racks and pans

in desired location while the oven is

cool. If they must be removed while the

oven is hot, do not let the potholders

contact hot heating elements in the

oven.

~When handling cooking pans take

care not to let the contents spill, and

that you do not come into contact with

either hot steam or the hot oven walls.

Danger of scalding and burns.

~Pans must be heat resistant up to

212°F (100°C). Otherwise they may

melt at high temperatures in the oven.

~Do not leave cooked foods in the

cooking compartment. Do not use items

in the steam oven which may rust. This

could lead to the corrosion of the

appliance.

~Do not use silicone baking pans in

the Combi Steam/Convection Bake,

they are not steam-resistant.

~Do not place pots, pans, baking

sheets or cooking pans directly on the

oven floor.

~Never line the oven floor with

aluminum foil and do not use protective

foil coverings available in retail stores to

protect the oven from soiling. They

affect the cooking and baking

performance significantly and block the

steam inlet.

~The door can support a maximum of

22 lb (10 kg).

Do not stand or sit on the open door,

and do not place heavy items on it.

Make sure that nothing gets caught

between the oven door and the oven

interior. This could damage the Combi

Steam Oven.

~Coarse food particles can clog the

drain and the pump. Make sure that the

drain filter is always in place.

~Do not keep the roast probe in the

oven interior, it could become

damaged the next time the oven heats

up.

~Make certain that the power cords of

small appliances do not come in

contact with or get caught in the oven

door.

~Do not operate the appliance

without the lamp cover in place, steam

can come into contact with live parts

and cause a short circuit. Electric

components could be destroyed.

~If the appliance is installed behind a

cabinet door, it must be operated with

the cabinet door open.

Close the cabinet door only when the

unit is completely dry.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning and Care

~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

the Combi Steam Oven.

The steam could reach the electrical

components and cause a short circuit.

~Scratches on the glass of the door

panel can cause a breakage.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard

sponges or brushes or sharp metal

scrapers for cleaning the glass surface

of the door.

~The side runners can be removed

for cleaning (see "Cleaning and Care").

Replace them correctly and do not use

the Combi Steam Oven without the side

runners racks installed.

Accessories

~Use only the special Miele roast

probe. If the roast probe needs to be

replaced, it should be by an original

Miele roast probe. You can obtain it

from your Miele dealer or from Miele

Customer Service.
