Warning and Safety instructions

Correct application

This appliance complies with all current local and national safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that new users are familiar with the content. Pass them on to any future owner.

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.

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. Miele cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

This appliance is not suitable for

outdoor use.

This steam oven 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 use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

This appliance must not be installed

and used in mobile installations such as ships etc.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Keep children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the risk of injury.

Older children may only use the

appliance when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.

Make sure children do not open the

door while the appliance is in use. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

Ensure that children do not swing on

the door.

Packaging, e.g. cling film,

polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation! Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Technical safety

The appliance should only be

connected to a correctly installed safety power point. Minimum fuse protection is 10 A. The voltage and frequency are given on the data plate. The appliance must only be connected if these match the site mains supply. If in doubt contact your electrician.

Before using, check the appliance

for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance may be dangerous.

Before connecting the appliance,

make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and rated load) match 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.

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 regularly tested and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Warning and Safety instructions

Never open the housing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised, suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unauthorised and unqualified persons could be dangerous. Miele cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Do not use the appliance if the

connection cable is damaged. If the connection cable has to be replaced, use an Australian approved HAR cable.

If the connection cable is damaged,

it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a specialist connection cable of type H 05 VV-F (pvc insulated), available from Miele.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

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:

the mains fuse is disconnected,

–

the screw-out fuse is removed (in

–

countries where this is applicable),

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.

While the appliance is under

warranty, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by Miele. Otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

Do not connect the steam oven to

the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

In areas which may be subject to

infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

For added protection, it is advisable

to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

When opening the hot appliance

steam will come out. Step back and wait until the steam has dissipated.

When putting cooking containers or

the condensate tray into the oven or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents. Avoid contact with hot steam, and do not touch the hot oven interior walls. Danger of burning and scalding!

When using plastic containers in the

oven, make sure that they are steam and heat-resistant to 100 °C. Other plastic containers may melt, distort or break.

Do not use the appliance to heat up

food in sealed jars and 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.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Do not leave cooked food in the

oven and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion as this could lead to corrosion in the appliance.

The appliance is designed in such a

way that there will always be a little residual water left in the water container after use. If there is no residual water, there is something wrong. Call Miele.

Do not immerse the water container

in water, or clean it in a dishwasher. Inserting the water container in the appliance when wet could cause an electric shock.

For reasons of hygiene and to

prevent the build-up of moisture in the appliance, the water container should be emptied after each use.

Take care not to tip the water

container when taking it out of the appliance. Hot water can scald.

To avoid the risk of scratches, do

not use the housing as a resting place for items.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

When the door is open, be careful

not to hurt yourself on edges and corners, and especially on the door catches. Danger of injury.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele accessories

with this steam oven. If accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.

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.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often 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. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person.

Description of the functions

Condensate tray

When you are using perforated containers, place the condensate tray on the floor of the appliance to collect any drops of liquid and allow them to be removed easily.

Rack

The rack has safety notches which prevent it being pulled right out when it only needs to be partially pulled out. It must be lifted in order to remove it. When inserting the rack into the runners make sure the notches point downwards.

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 p symbol is flashing, either the water container is not sitting correctly or there is not enough water in it.

Cooking duration (time)

A duration of between 1 minute (0:01) and 9 hours 59 minutes (9:59) can be set.

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.
