suffocation.
Keep packaging material away from children.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. Children’s skin is
far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. External
parts of the combination steam oven such as the door glass, control
panel and the vent become quite hot. Do not let children touch the
combination steam oven when it is in operation.
Keep children well away from the combination steam oven until it
has cooled down and there is no risk of injury.
 Risk of injury from the open door.
The oven door can support a maximum weight of 15kg. Children
could injure themselves on an open door.
Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.
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.
 Damage to the combination steam oven can compromise your
safety. Check the combination steam oven for visible signs of
damage. Do not use a damaged combination steam oven.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised
with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply
system complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an equivalent
standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in the
domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must also be
maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO 45001.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 The electrical safety of this combination steam oven can only be
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this basic
safety requirement is fulfilled. 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 combination steam oven must match the mains electricity supply
in order to avoid the risk of damage to the oven. Compare this
before connecting the appliance to the mains. If in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance. Do not use these to connect the
combination steam oven to the domestic electrical supply.
 For safety reasons, the combination steam oven may only be used
when it has been fully installed.
 This combination steam oven must not be used in a non-
stationary location (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 combination steam oven will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Do not open the housing of the combination steam oven under any
circumstances.
 While the combination steam oven is under warranty, repairs should
only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the Miele
Customer Service Department. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the oven when original
Miele spare parts are used. Faulty components must only be
replaced by original spare parts.
 If the combination steam oven is delivered without a mains
connection cable, a special cable must be installed by a Miele
authorised technician (see “Installation – Electrical connection”).

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special connection cable by a Miele authorised service technician
(see “Installation”, “Electrical connection”).
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the combination
steam oven must be completely disconnected from the mains
electricity supply. To ensure this, do one of the following:
- Disconnect the mains fuse
- Completely unscrew the screw-out fuse (in countries where this is
applicable)
- Pull out the plug (if one is present) at the wall socket. To do this,
pull the plug and not the mains connection cable.
 The combination steam 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 fitting heat insulation strips 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).
 If the combination steam oven is built in behind a furniture front
(e.g. a door), do not close the furniture door while the oven is in use.
Heat and moisture can build up behind the furniture front when
closed. This can result in damage to the combination steam oven,
the housing unit and the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the
combination steam oven has cooled down completely.
Correct use
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The combination
steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on
the steam, heater elements, oven compartment, accessories or food.
Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or removing
it and when working in the hot oven compartment.
 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 into the oven or removing them,
make sure that the hot food does not spill.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the combination steam
oven door if there is smoke inside the oven compartment. Interrupt
operation by switching the combination steam oven off and
disconnecting it from the electricity supply. Do not open the door
until the smoke has dispersed.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the
combination steam oven could catch fire. Do not use the
combination steam oven to heat up the room.
 Oils and fats can ignite if allowed to overheat. Never leave the
combination steam oven unattended when cooking with oil or fats.
Never attempt to put out oil or fat fires with water. Switch the
combination steam oven off and extinguish the flames by leaving the
door closed.
 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 grill
temperatures.
Never use grill modes to finish baking partially baked rolls or bread
or to dry flowers or herbs. Instead, use the Fan plus or
Conventional heat function.
 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.
 When using residual heat to keep food warm, corrosion from high
air humidity and condensation can occur in the combination steam
oven. This can also cause damage to the control panel, worktop and
surrounding kitchen furniture. Keep the combination steam oven on
and select the lowest temperature available for the selected
operating mode. The cooling fan will then continue to run
automatically.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 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 combination steam oven. Always cover
food that is left in the oven to keep warm.
 An accumulation of heat can cause the enamel on the oven
compartment floor 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.
 Risk 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
enamelled surfaces. Never pour cold liquids directly onto hot
enamelled surfaces.
 Risk of injury caused by steam. During steam cooking, during
cooking processes using moisture and during the residual moisture
evaporation process, steam is produced which can cause serious
injury by scalding. Never open the door during a cooking process
involving 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
 Plastic dishes that are not suitable for use in an oven will melt and
may ignite at high temperatures, and can damage the combination
steam oven.
Use only plastic containers that are suitable for use in an oven. Follow
the instructions from the crockery manufacturer.
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.
 Heating up food in closed containers, such as tins or sealed jars,
will result in an increase in pressure, which can cause them to
explode. Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food in the oven.
 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 the door when open, or place heavy items on it. Make sure that
nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven compartment.
This could damage the combination steam oven.
 The steam could reach live electrical components and cause a
short circuit. This could also destroy the electrical components. Do
not use the combination steam oven if it does not have a lamp cover.
The following applies to stainless steel surfaces:
 Adhesives will damage the stainless steel surface and cause it to
lose its dirt-repellent protective coating. 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
Cleaning and care
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause
a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
 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 side runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care” –
“Removing the side runners with FlexiClip runners”). Refit the side
runners correctly.
 The catalytic enamelled back panel can be removed for cleaning
purposes (see “Cleaning and care – Removing the back panel”).
Ensure that the back panel is replaced correctly and do not use the
combination steam oven without it fitted.
 In warm, moist environments, there is a higher probability of pest
infestations (such as cockroaches). Ensure the combination steam
oven and the area surrounding it are always kept clean.
Damage caused by pests is not covered by the warranty.
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 combination steam oven.
 The Miele gourmet oven dish HUB5000/HUB5001 (if available)
must not be inserted into shelf level1. This will damage the floor of
the oven. 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
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material
reduces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will
take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the
environment if disposed of with
household waste or if handled
incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with
household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, with your dealer
or with Miele, free of charge. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the old
appliance prior to disposal. You are
legally obliged to remove any old
batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the appliance and to
remove any lamps without destroying
them, where this is possible. These
must be taken to a suitable collection
point where they can be handed in free
of charge. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored for disposal.
