Warning and Safety instructions
7
The steam combination oven is referred to in the following instructions as a
steam oven.
This appliance complies with all current local and national safety
requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal
injury and damage to property.
Please read these operating and installation instructions carefully
before using the steam oven for the first time. They contain
important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance
of the appliance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to
the steam 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Correct application
 This steam 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.
 The steam oven is not suitable for outdoor use.
 The steam oven is intended only to steam, bake, roast, grill,
defrost and reheat food.
Any other use is not permitted.
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning its use by a person responsible
for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.
 This steam oven is supplied with a special lamp to cope with
particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical
resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp
must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not
suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be replaced
by a Miele authorised technician.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Safety with children
 Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam oven inadvertently.
 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
 Older children may only use the appliance if its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely.
They must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Cleaning may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do
not let them play with it.
 Risk of suffocation from packaging material. Whilst playing,
children may become entangled in packaging material (such as
plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation.
Keep packaging material away from children.
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. 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 vent
become quite hot. Do not let children touch the steam oven when it
is in operation.
Keep children well away from the steam oven until it has cooled
down and there is no danger 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
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.
 A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for any
visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged
appliance.
 Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches 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 appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live
connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical
components of the oven will endanger your safety and may lead to
steam oven malfunctions.
Do not open the steam oven housing under any circumstances.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is not
supplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to the
mains supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable (see “Installation - Electrical
connection”).
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.
 If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture front (e.g. a door),
do not close the furniture front while the steam oven is in use. Heat
and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture door. This can
result in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and the floor.
Leave the furniture door open until the steam oven has cooled down
completely.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 Warning: If the lamp needs to be replaced, ensure it is replaced by
a Miele approved service technician and that the appliance is
switched off beforehand to avoid the possibility of an electric shock.
 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
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Correct use
 Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven
gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heating
elements, oven compartment, shelf runners, accessories, food or
steam.
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.
 Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed 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.
 Plastic containers which are not heat-resistant will melt, and may
ignite, at high temperatures and can damage the steam oven.
Use only heat-resistant plastic containers. Please follow the
container manufacturer's instructions. If you want to use plastic
containers in your steam oven, make sure they can resist high
temperatures and steam. Other plastic containers may melt, distort
or break.
 Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the 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 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 compartment. The steam oven could get damaged.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
 Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the steam oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
If it does ignite, do not put the flames out with water. Switch the
steam oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by
keeping the oven door closed.
 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 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. Use the Fan Plus or Conventional Heat
functions instead.
 To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if there is
smoke inside the steam oven. Interrupt the programme by switching
the steam oven 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 and even to ignite on
the 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
surface, 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
15
 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 small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,
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 appliance without the lamp cover. Steam could
attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Steam
could also damage the electrical components.

Warning and Safety instructions
16
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 result in the glass breaking.
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 –
Cleaning the shelf runners”).
Refit the shelf 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 on the stainless steel surface.
Accessories
 Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment
17
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.
