IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8
When using the appliance, please comply with the basic safety requirements,
including the following instructions:
Read all instructions before installation and use of the steam oven to prevent
accidents and damage to the appliance.
The Combi-Steam Oven is referred to in the following instructions as a steam
oven.
This appliance complies with all current local and national safety
requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal in-
jury and material damage.
Please read these operating and installation instructions carefully
before using the steam oven for the first time. They contain impor-
tant information on safety, installation, use, and maintenance. This
prevents both personal injury and damage to the steam oven.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these operating and installation instructions in a safe place
and pass them on to any future owner.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Appropriate use
 This appliance is intended for residential use only.
 The steam oven is not suitable for outdoor use.
 The steam oven is intended only to steam, bake, roast, broil, de-
frost, and reheat food.
All other types of use are not permitted.
 Risk of fire. Never use the steam oven to store or dry items which
could ignite easily.
 Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities, or experi-
ence with the appliance should not use it without supervision or in-
struction by a responsible person.
 This steam oven is supplied with a special bulb to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance and vibration). This special bulb must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for
room lighting. Replacement of bulbs may only be carried out by a
Miele authorized technician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety with children
 Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam oven inadvertently.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do
not let them play with it.
 Risk of burns due to improper use. Do not allow children to oper-
ate the steam oven.
 Risk of suffocation from packaging material. While 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.
 Danger 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 22lbs (10kg). Children could injure themselves
on an open door.
Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it, or swing on it.
 If you tap the Doorsensor button, the door will fully open auto-
matically. In doing so, it can knock against small children or animals,
for example.
When opening the door, make sure that nobody is in the area around
the door.
