similar working and residential environments.
~The appliance is not intended for outdoor use.
~It is intended for domestic use only as described in these
operating instructions.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
~The appliance can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

Safety with children
~Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the
appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
~Children 8 years and older may only use the appliance if they
have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and

~Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must
be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing,
children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their
head and suffocate.
~Danger of burning.
Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of
adults. Make sure that children do not attempt to open the door
when the appliance is in operation. Keep children well away from
the appliance until it has cooled down and there is no danger of
burning.
~Danger of injury. Children could injure themselves on the open

Technical safety
~Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by
a Miele authorised service technician. Installation, maintenance and
repairs by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
~A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Before installation,
check the appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use a
damaged appliance.
~The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly tested, 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)
match the mains supply. Consult a qualified electrician if in any
doubt.
~Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
~This appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
~Never open the casing of the appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause

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 guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
~The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
You could burn yourself on the oven interior, cooked food, oven
accessories or hot steam.
Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it and
when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Take care when
putting cooking containers into the oven or removing them not to
spill the contents.
~Danger of burning.
There may be some residual hot water in the water container at the
end of a cooking process. Take care not to tip the water container
when taking it out of the appliance.
~Do not heat up unopened tins of food or bottle food in tins in the
appliance, as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
~You could injure yourself on the open door. Avoid leaving the
door open unnecessarily,
~Plastic dishes which are not temperature- and steam-resistant
melt at high temperatures and can damage the appliance.
Use temperature- (to 100 °C) and steam-resistant plastic dishes.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
~Food which is left in the oven to be kept hot can dry out, as
moisture in the food could lead to corrosion damage in the
appliance. Do not leave cooked food in the oven and do not use any
cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion
~For reasons of hygiene and to prevent the build-up of moisture in
the appliance, the water container should be emptied after each
use.
~To avoid the risk of scratching the appliance, do not use the
casing of a freestanding appliance as a resting place for items.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

Cleaning and care
~Danger of injury.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The
steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
~Scratches on the glass door surface could cause the glass to
break.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, sponges or brushes, or metal
scrapers on glass surfaces.
~The side runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care" further on in this booklet).
Ensure that the side runners are replaced correctly and do not use
the oven without the side runners fitted.
~Do not immerse the water container in water or clean it in a
dishwasher. Connecting the water container into the appliance when
wet could cause an electric shock.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele original spare parts and accessories with
this appliance. Using spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot
accept liability.
Warning and Safety instructions

Warning and Safety instructions
12

Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Condensate tray
When you are using perforated containers, always place the
condensate tray on the lowest shelf level to collect any drops
of liquid and allow them to be removed easily.
You can also use the condensate tray as a cooking container
if necessary.
Water container
The maximum water level is 1.2 litres, the minimum 0.75 litres.
The water level markers are located inside and outside the
container. On no account exceed the upper or maximum
level marker.
The maximum quantity of 1.2 litres of water is sufficient to run
a cooking programme at 100 °C for approx. 2 hours, and the
minimum quantity of 0.75 litres of water is sufficient to run a
cooking programme at 100 °C for approx. 30 minutes,
providing the door is not opened.
If the psymbol is flashing, either the water container is not
sitting correctly or there is not enough water in it.
Noises
You can hear the noise of the fan when the appliance is
operating.
Noises similar to those of a kettle can be heard when steam is
being generated.

Heating-up phase
During the heating-up phase the oven compartment is heated
to the set temperature. The display will show the temperature
of the cooking compartment as it rises.
