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.
 This steam oven must only be used as described in these
instructions.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous.
 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
8
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 steam oven when its operation
has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
 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.
 Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in
packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of
suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material.
 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! The maximum load capacity for the door is 8kg.
Children can hurt themselves on an open door.
Ensure that children do not sit on or swing on the door.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
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).
 Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 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 connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special connection cable of type H05VVF(pvc insulated), available
from Miele, in order to avoid a hazard.
 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 panel (e.g. a door),
ensure that the door is never closed whilst the steam oven is in use.
Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and
cause subsequent damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and
the floor. Do not close the door until the 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
cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
 Danger of burning! The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
Exercise care when handling food and trays so as not to burn
yourself on the walls of the steam oven, shelf runners, trays, steam
and hot food itself. Use oven gloves when placing food in the steam
oven, removing it and when adjusting shelves etc. in a hot steam
oven.
When putting cooking containers into the steam oven or taking them
out, take care not to spill the contents.
 Danger of burning! There will be some residual hot water in the
steam generator at the end of a cooking process. This will be
pumped back into the water container. Take care not to spill the
contents when taking the water container out of the appliance.
 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 dishes which are not heat 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 steam oven can dry out and the escaping
moisture can lead to corrosion in the appliance. Do not leave cooked
food in the oven compartment and do not use any cooking
containers which are susceptible to corrosion as this could lead to
corrosion in the appliance.
 Do not leave the appliance door open unnecessarily as someone
may trip over it or be injured by it.
 The door can support a maximum load of 8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
12
 When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held mixer, near
the steam oven, ensure that the connection cable doesn't get caught
in the door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this steam oven.
Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause
a short circuit.
 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 for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care - Accessories").
Ensure they are correctly fitted after cleaning and never operate the
steam oven without the shelf runners fitted.
 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
14
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 by
law 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.
