6
This steam combination oven complies with all current local and
national safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead
to personal injury and damage to property.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the steam combination oven. They contain important
information on safety, installation, use and maintenance of the
appliance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the
steam combination oven.
In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in
“Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Correct application
 This steam combination 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.
 This steam combination oven is not intended for outdoor use.
 The steam combination oven is intended only to steam, bake,
roast, grill, cook, defrost, bottle and dry food.
Any other use is not permitted.
 This steam combination oven is not intended for use by persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using
it.
They may only use the steam combination oven unsupervised if they
have been shown how to use it in a safe manner. They must be able
to recognise and understand the dangers of misuse.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
 The oven compartment is equipped with special lamps to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). These special lamps
must only be used for the purpose for which they are intended. They
are not suitable for room lighting.
Safety with children
 Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam combination oven inadvertently.
 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
 Older children may only use the steam combination oven if its

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a
Miele authorised technician.
 Damage to the steam combination oven can compromise your
safety. Check the steam combination oven for visible signs of
damage. Never use a damaged steam combination oven.
 Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their function and operation in
isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
 The electrical safety of the steam combination oven can only be
guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective
earthing system. It is essential that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly. If in doubt, the electrical installation
should be checked by a qualified electrician.
 The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the steam combination oven must match the mains electricity supply
in order to avoid the risk of damage to the steam combination oven.
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains
electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Do not
use these to connect the steam combination oven to the mains
electrical supply.
 For safety reasons, this steam combination oven must only be
used after it has been built in.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 This steam combination oven must not be installed and operated
in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live
connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical
components of the steam combination oven will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the steam combination oven housing under any
circumstances.
 The manufacturer's warranty may be invalidated if the steam
combination oven is not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when original
Miele spare parts are used. Faulty components must only be
replaced by original spare parts.
 If the steam combination oven is delivered without a mains
connection cable, a special cable must be installed by a suitably
qualified and competent person in order to avoid a hazard (see
“Installation - Electrical connection”).
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special connection cable by a suitably qualified and
competent person in order to avoid a hazard (see “Installation -
Electrical connection”).
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, e.g. if the oven
lighting is faulty, the steam combination oven must be completely
disconnected from the electricity supply (see "Problem solving
guide"). To ensure this:
- Switch off the mains circuit breaker, or
- remove the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is applicable), or
- switch off at the wall socket and withdraw the plug. To do this,
pull the plug and not the mains connection cable.
 The steam combination oven requires a sufficient supply of cool
air for efficient operation. Make sure that the supply of cool air is not
hindered in any way (e.g. by heat insulation strips fitted in the
housing unit). Furthermore, the required supply of cool air must not
be excessively heated by other heat sources (e.g. solid fuel stoves).

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 If the steam combination oven is installed behind a furniture door,
do not close the door while the steam combination oven is in
operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture
door. This can potentially cause damage to the steam combination
oven, the furniture unit and the flooring. Leave the furniture door
open until the steam combination oven has cooled down completely.
Correct use
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam
combination oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself
on steam, the heating elements, oven compartment, accessories or
food.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it, and
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.
 Risk of injury caused by hot food.
Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or
removing it. The food can cause burns.
When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them,
make sure that the hot food does not spill.
 To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the door of the steam
combination oven if smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the
programme by switching the steam combination oven off and
disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do not open the door
until the smoke has dispersed.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam
combination oven could catch fire. Do not use the steam
combination oven to heat up the room.
 Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the
steam combination oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats.
Never attempt to put out oil or fat fires with water. Switch the steam
combination oven off and extinguish the flames by leaving the door
closed.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Grilling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it to
dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the
recommended cooking durations.
 Certain foods dry out quickly and may catch fire due to high
grilling temperatures.
Never use a grill function to finish baking bake-off rolls or bread, or
to dry flowers or herbs. Instead, use the Fan Plus or
Conventional Heat function and always ensure this type of
procedure is supervised.
 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.
 When using residual heat to keep food warm, corrosion from high
air humidity and condensation can occur in the steam combination
oven. This can also cause damage to the control panel, worktop and
surrounding kitchen furniture. Keep the steam combination oven on
and select the lowest temperature available for the selected function.
The cooling fan will then continue to run and dissipate the moisture.
 Food which is stored in the oven compartment or left in it to be
kept warm can dry out and the moisture released can lead to
corrosion damage in the steam combination oven. Always cover
food that is left in the oven to keep warm.
 An accumulation of heat can cause the enamel on the floor of the
oven to crack or flake off.
Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil or
oven liners.
If you wish to place crockery on the floor of the oven compartment
during cooking, or place crockery on the floor of the oven
compartment to heat it up, you can do so, but only with the Fan
Plus or Eco Fan Heat function without the Booster function.
 The oven compartment floor can become damaged by items
being pushed around on it. When placing pots, pans or crockery on
the oven compartment floor, ensure that you avoid pushing them
around.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 Danger of injury caused by steam. Pouring a cold liquid onto a hot
surface creates steam, which can cause severe scalding. The
sudden temperature change can also cause damage to hot surfaces.
Never pour cold liquids directly onto hot surfaces.
 Danger of injury caused by steam. During cooking processes
using steam, moisture injection and during the residual moisture
evaporation process, steam is produced which can lead to severe
scalding. Never open the door during a cooking process using steam
or during the evaporation of residual water.
 It is important that the temperature in the food being cooked is
evenly distributed and sufficiently high. This can be achieved by
stirring or turning the food.
 Plastic dishes that are not suitable for use in an oven will melt and
may ignite at high temperatures and damage the steam combination
oven.
Use only plastic containers that are suitable for use in an oven.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you wish to use plastic containers for steam cooking, make sure
that these are heat-resistant to 100°C and able to withstand hot
steam. Other plastic containers can melt or become fragile and
brittle.
 Preserving and heating food in sealed tins will result in an increase
in pressure, which can cause them to explode. Do not use tins for
preserving or heating food.
 Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open
door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
 The door can support a maximum load of 15kg. Do not lean or sit
on an open door, or place heavy items on it. Make sure that nothing
gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment. The
steam combination oven may get damaged.
 The steam could reach live electrical components and cause a
short circuit. This could also destroy the electrical components. Do
not operate the steam combination oven without the lamp cover.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
The following applies for stainless steel surfaces:
 The coated stainless steel surface can be damaged by adhesives
and will lose its dirt-repelling properties. Do not use sticky notes,
adhesive tape or other types of adhesive on the stainless steel
surface.
 Magnets can cause scratches. Do not use the stainless steel
surface as a magnetic notice board.
Cleaning and care
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a
short circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning.
 Scratches on the door glass can cause the glass to break. Do not
use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to
clean the door glass.
 The shelf runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care –
Removing the shelf runners with FlexiClip telescopic runners”). Refit
the shelf runners correctly.
 The catalytic enamelled back panel can be removed for cleaning
purposes (see "Cleaning and care – Removing the catalytic
enamelled back panel"). Ensure it is correctly fitted after cleaning
and never operate the steam combination oven without the back
panel fitted.
 In warm, moist environments, there is a higher probability of
vermin infestations (e.g. cockroaches). Ensure the steam
combination oven and the area surrounding it are always kept clean.
Damage caused by vermin is not covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
Accessories
 Only use original Miele accessories. If other parts are used,
warranty, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your steam combination oven.
 The Miele gourmet oven dish HUB5000/HUB5001 (if available)
must not be inserted on shelf level1. This will damage the oven floor.
The lack of clearance will create an accumulation of heat which can
cause the enamel to crack or flake off. Never place a Miele oven dish
on the upper support of shelf level1 either as it will not be secured
by the non-tip safety notches. As a general rule, use shelf level2.

Caring for the environment
15
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
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 valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
