7
This combination steam oven complies with all current local and
national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead
to personal injury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before us-
ing the combination steam oven. They contain important informa-
tion on safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents
both personal injury and damage to the combination steam oven.
In accordance with standard IEC/EN60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the combination steam oven as well as the
safety instructions and warnings.
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.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Correct application
 This combination steam oven is intended for domestic use and
use in other similar environments.
 This combination steam oven is not intended for outdoor use.
 The combination steam oven is intended for domestic use only to
steam-cook, bake, roast, grill, defrost and reheat food.
All other types of use are not permitted.
 This combination steam oven may only be used by people with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they are supervised whilst using it.
They may only use it unsupervised if they have been shown how to
use it in a safe manner. They must be able to recognise and under-
stand the dangers of misuse.
 The oven compartment is equipped with special lamps to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical res-
istance, 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. Replacement lamps may only be
fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Department.
 The combination steam oven contains 3light sources correspond-
ing to energy efficiency classE.
Safety with children
 Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch the
combination steam oven on by mistake.
 Children under 8years of age must be kept away from the com-
bination steam oven unless they are constantly supervised.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the combination steam
oven without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a
safe manner. Children must be able to understand and recognise the
possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the combina-
tion steam oven unsupervised.
 Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the combination
steam oven. Never allow children to play with the combination steam
oven.
 Risk of suffocation due to packaging material. Whilst playing, chil-
dren may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic
wrapping) or pull it over their head, presenting the risk of suffocation.
Keep packaging material away from children.
 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 10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.
 If you touch the sensor control, the door will fully open auto-
matically. In doing so, it can knock against small children or animals,
for example.
If the buzzers are switched on, a buzzer will sound on the combina-
tion steam oven when you open the door remotely using a voice-
based service. When opening the door, make sure that nobody is in
the area around the door. Make sure that you keep the buzzers
switched on.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs 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 dam-
age. Do not use a damaged combination steam oven.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power sup-
ply 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 sys-
tem 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.
 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 be-
fore 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 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-station-
ary location (e.g. on a ship).
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live connec-
tions 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 appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 If the plug is removed from the mains connection cable or if the
mains connection cable is supplied without a plug, the combination
steam oven must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified
electrician.
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable (see “Electrical connection” in
the “Installation” chapter).
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the combination
steam oven must be completely disconnected from the mains elec-
tricity 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)

Warning and Safety instructions
12
- Pull out the plug (if one is present) at the wall socket. To do this,
pull the plug and not the mains connection cable.
 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.
 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 cock-
roaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
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 heater elements, oven compartment, accessories, door glass,
food or steam.
Wear oven gloves when placing hot food in the oven or removing it,
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven compartment and
when closing the door.
 Risk of injury caused by hot food.
Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or re-
moving 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.
 Heating up food in closed containers, such as tins or sealed jars,
will result in an increase in pressure, which can cause them to ex-
plode. Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food in the oven.

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. Fol-
low 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.
 Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the combination
steam oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not
use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
 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 10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.
 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 com-
bination steam oven off and extinguish the flames by leaving the
door closed.
 Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the com-
bination steam oven could catch fire. Do not use the combination
steam oven to heat up the room.
 Grilling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it to
dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the recommen-
ded cooking durations.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 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. Use the Fan plus or Conventional heat
functions instead.
 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 discon-
necting it from the electricity supply. Do not open the door until the
smoke has dispersed.
 If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temper-
atures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire
on hot heating elements.
 Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil
or oven liners. Do not place any crockery or any pans, pots or baking
trays directly on the floor of the oven compartment.
If you want to use the floor of the oven compartment as an extra sur-
face, place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the
rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. In doing so,
ensure that the filter in the floor of the oven is not moved.
 The oven compartment floor can become damaged by the rack
being pushed around on it.
Do not push the rack around on the oven compartment floor.
 Larger deposits of food can block the drain and pump. Always
make sure that the filter in the floor of the oven is inserted.
 When using a electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender, near
the combination steam oven, ensure that the mains connection cable
of the appliance cannot get trapped in the combination steam oven
door. This could damage the insulation on the cable.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
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 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 (see “Cleaning and care –
Cleaning the side runners”).
Refit the side runners correctly.
 Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids
containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to
avoid corrosion to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet.
Accessories
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-
facturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liabil-
ity.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a min-
imum of 10years and up to 15years following the discontinuation of
your combination steam oven.

Caring for the environment
16
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 re-
duces 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 appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds 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 elec-
trical 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 des-
troying them, where this is possible.
These must be taken to a suitable col-
lection point where they can be handed
in free of charge. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.
