11
Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from
damage
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.
Do not store cooked food in the
oven. The moisture in the food can
lead to corrosion in the appliance.
Do not use metallic containers or
utensils in the oven which are likely
to rust. This can cause corrosion.
Use the descaling tablets supplied
with the appliance (see "Optional
accessories" for reordering details) or a
proprietary citric acid based descaling
agent to descale the appliance. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
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 the Service Department.
12
Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning and
scalding
The appliance, especially the
inside of the door and the area
around the ventilation outlet, becomes
extremely hot during use, and remains
hot for some time after switching off.
If the oven is still hot, steam will
escape when the door is opened.
Stand back away from the appliance
and wait until the steam has dissipated.
Take care when opening the door
not to spill any hot water that has
collected in the drip channel.
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 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.
Take care not to tip the water
container when taking it out of the
appliance. Hot water can scald.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Appliance faults
In there is any damage to the
appliance, it must be switched off
and disconnected from the mains
supply immediately. It must not be used
again until it has been repaired. If the
appliance has not yet been fully
installed, the electricity cable must be
disconnected from the supply point. If
connected via a plug and socket,
switch off at the socket and withdraw
the plug. Contact the Miele Service
Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.
Repairs should only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and trained
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be very dangerous and could
damage the appliance. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work. Never open the
housing of the appliance.
While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
Futher safety notes
When using an electric socket near
the appliance, care should be
taken that the cable of the appliance
cannot get trapped by the appliance
door. The insulation on the cable could
become damaged, giving rise to an
electric shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Some foods, e.g. poultry, may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. If in doubt, select a longer
cooking or reheating time.
When the door is open be careful
not to hurt yourself on edges and
corners, and especially on the door
catches.
If using plastic cooking containers,
make sure that they are heat- and
steam-resistant to 100 °C. Otherwise
they may melt, distort or break.
In countries where there are 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
guarantee.
14
The manufacturer 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

Before using for the first time
Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
Open the door by pressing on the left
hand side of the door release. The door
will open slightly.
Take the water container out of the
appliance and remove the insert (see
"Cleaning and care"). Rinse the water
container and the insert thoroughly by
hand using hot water. Do not use any
washing-up liquid or detergent.
Do not clean the water container or
the insert in a dishwasher. Do not
immerse the water container in
water.
Take all accessories out of the steam
oven and wash them in a mild solution
of washing-up liquid and hot water or in
the dishwasher (this does not apply to
the water container and insert - see
above).
Now fill the water container with mains
tap water (see "Before each use") and
then run the Cook Universal (100 °C)
for 15 minutes. Proceed as described
in "Operation".
This process flushes out the waterways
and sets the appliance for the altitude
in your area.
If you move house, the appliance will
need to be re-set for the new altitude if
this differs from the old one by more
than 300 m. To do this, descale the
appliance (see "Cleaning and care").
Warning! A lot of steam will be emitted
from the appliance the first time it is
used, and the first time it is descaled
after moving house.
The interior of the steam oven has been
treated with a conditioning agent before
leaving the factory. To remove this,
clean the cooking compartment with a
mild solution of washing-up liquid and
hot water and then dry thoroughly with
a soft cloth.
