Correct application
~This steam oven is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
~This steam oven is not intended for outdoor use.
~This steam oven is intended for domestic use only as described
in these operating instructions. Any other usage is not supported by
the manufacturer and could be dangerous.
~The steam oven can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

Safety with children
~Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam oven inadvertently.
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the steam
oven unless they are constantly supervised.
~Children 8 years and older may only use the steam oven
unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and rec-
ognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
~Children must not be allowed to clean the steam oven
unsupervised.
~Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do
not let them play with it.
~Danger of suffocation.
Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of
babies and children.
Whilst playing, children could become entangled in packaging or
pull it over their head and suffocate.
~Danger of burning.
Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of
adults. External parts of the steam oven such as the door glass,
control panel and the vents become quite hot during use. Do not let
children touch the steam oven whilst it is in use.
~Danger of injury.
The door can support a maximum weight of 10 kg. Do not let
children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it.
Warning and Safety instructions

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.
~Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check
it for visible signs of damage before using it.
~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 steam oven 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 steam oven 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 steam oven may only be used when it has
been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
~This steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~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.
~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.
~This appliance must be plumbed in by a suitably qualified
person.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.
~The appliance must only be connected to a cold water supply.
~The stopcock must be easily accessible after the appliance has
been built-in.
~Before connection, check the inlet and drain hoses for visible
signs of damage.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

~The built-in Waterproof system will only protect against water
damage if the following conditions are met:
–The inlet and drain hoses are correctly fitted and connected,
–The appliance is properly maintained and parts are replaced
where it can be seen that this is necessary,
–The stopcock has been turned off when the appliance is not used
for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

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 use the steam 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.
~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.
~Grilling food for an excessively long time can cause it to dry out
with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed recommended grilling
times.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

~Some types of food dry out quickly and can self-ignite if high grill
temperatures are used.
Never use the grill 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 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.
~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 cooked food warm (exception: see
"Keeping 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
14

~The door can support a maximum weight 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 cavity. The oven could get damaged.
~Never use the oven without the filter in the bottom of the oven in
place. It will prevent coarse food residues from blocking the
drainage system and the pump.
~To prevent the risk of damage do not leave the food probe in the
oven when it is not being used.
~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 steam oven without the lamp cover. Steam
could could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Steam could also damage the electrical components.
~If the steam oven 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
15

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 steam
oven without them fitted.
Accessories
~Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If a
replacement is necessary it can be obtained from Miele.
Warning and Safety instructions
16

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.
Disposal 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.
