Warning and Safety instructions

This steam oven conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the steam oven, 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.

Correct application

This steam oven is intended for

domestic use only, and must only be used as described in these instructions. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

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 are supervised while using it or have been given instruction concerning its use by a person responsible for their safety.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Activate the safety lock to ensure

that children cannot switch on the appliance inadvertently.

Keep children away from the steam

oven at all times. It is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury do not allow them to play with it or to play with the controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.

Older children may use the

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

Make sure that children do not

attempt to open the door when the appliance is in operation. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

Do not allow children to lean against

the open oven door, nor to sit on it or swing on it.

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

Before installation, check the steam

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

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains supply. 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 which complies with current local and national safety regulations. 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

This appliance is supplied with a

moulded plug ready for connection to a switched socket. If you wish to connect it to a double-pole fused spur connection unit, or to an isolator switch or if the appliance is supplied without a plug, it must be installed by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used when it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

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 operational faults.

Installation, maintenance and

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

If the connection cable is damaged,

it must be replaced with a special connection cable of type H 05 V V-F (pvc insulated), available from the Miele Spare Parts Department.

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

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee is 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 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.

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 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.

If using plastic cooking containers,

make sure that they are heat- and steam-resistant to 100 °C. Otherwise they 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.

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 the Ser vice Department.

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.

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.

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.

Warning and Safety instructions

When using an electric socket near

the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Do not place heavy objects on the

open door. The door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg.

If the appliance is not going to be

used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, it should be thoroughly cleaned and dried beforehand to prevent the build-up of odours etc. Make sure that the water container is empty. Leave the door open.

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

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 recycled.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly they 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.

Description of the functions

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.

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. The water level in the water container is represented by a symbol in the display.

Some of the functions are allocated with a recommended temperature. You can alter the recommended temperature for an individual cooking process or permanently (see "Settings / Recommended temperature").

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.

Description of the functions

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.

The duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the food. In general the heating-up phase will last for approx. 7 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are preparing frozen or refrigerated food. Filling the water container with hot water will shorten the heating-up time.

Cooking phase

The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is reached. During the cooking phase the duration remaining (time left) will be shown in the display.
