9

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

 Danger of burning. The steam oven becomes hot when in use.

You could burn yourself on the heating elements, 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.

 Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle 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.

 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 oven to be kept hot can dry out and the

moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the appliance. Do
not use the steam oven for keeping food warm and do not use
utensils in the appliance which could corrode.

 You could injure yourself on the open oven door.

Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

 When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,

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.

 The steam oven 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.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

 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.

 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
spill the contents when taking the water container out of the
appliance.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.

 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with

this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept
liability.

12

Caring for the environment

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.

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, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.

20

Using for the first time

Set the water hardness level

The steam oven is set ex-works for
hard water. It must be adjusted to local
water hardness to ensure trouble-free
operation and to ensure that descaling
is carried out at the correct interval. The
harder the water, the more often it will
need to be descaled.

 Check the hardness of your local

water supply and adjust the setting if
necessary (see "Settings").

Set the correct boiling point for water

Before cooking food for the first time,
you must set the boiling point for water,
as this varies depending on the altitude
the appliance is located at. This
procedure also flushes out the
waterways.

This process must be carried out to
ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.

 Run the steam oven at 100°C for

15minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation".

Set the correct boiling point for water following a house move

25

General notes

This section contains general
information. You will find more detailed
information about particular foods and
how to cook them in the other sections.

The advantages of cooking with steam

Almost all vitamins and minerals are
retained as the food is not immersed in
water.

Cooking with steam also retains the
true taste of the food better than
conventional cooking. We therefore
recommend seasoning the food after it
has been cooked. Food also retains its
fresh, original colour.

Suitable containers

Cooking containers

This steam oven is supplied with
stainless steel cooking containers.
Other containers, in a variety of sizes,
both perforated and solid, are available
as optional extras (see "Optional
accessories"). This enables you to
choose the most suitable container for
the food you are cooking.

It is best to use perforated containers
for steam cooking. The steam can
reach the food from all sides and the
food is cooked evenly.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers.
However, please note the following:

– Containers must be heat-resistant to

100 °C and able to withstand hot
steam. With plastic containers please
check with the manufacturer that
they are suitable for use in a steam
oven.

– Thick-sided containers made from

porcelain, china or stoneware, for
example, are not so suitable for
steam cooking. They do not conduct
heat well and as a result cooking
durations will be considerably longer
than those given in the charts.

– Place the cooking container in a

sufficiently large perforated container,
not on the oven floor.

– Ensure that there is a gap between

the upper rim of the container and
the top of the cooking compartment
to allow sufficient steam into the
container.

Condensate tray

When using perforated containers,
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.

26

General notes

Shelf level

You can select any shelf level. You can
also cook on several levels at the same
time. This will not alter the cooking
duration.

Always insert cooking containers and
the rack between the rails of the side
runners so that they cannot tip.

Frozen food

The heating up phase for frozen food is
longer than for fresh food. The greater
the quantity of frozen food, the longer
the heating up phase.

Temperature

A maximum temperature of 100°C is
reached when steam cooking is taking
place. Most types of food will cook at
this temperature. Some more delicate
types of food, such as soft fruit, must
be cooked at lower temperatures as
otherwise they will burst. More
information is given in the relevant
section.

Combination with a food warming
drawer
When the warming drawer is in use the
oven cavity in the steam oven can get
up to 40°C. If, in this case, you set a
temperature of 40°C, no steam will be
produced because the oven cavity is
too warm.

Duration

In general, the cooking durations for
cooking with steam are the same as for
cooking food in a saucepan. More
information about any factors which
may affect the cooking duration is given
in the relevant sections.

The quantity of food does not affect the
cooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes will
take the same time to cook as 500 g.

The durations given in the charts are
guidelines only. We recommend
selecting the shorter cooking duration
quoted to start with. If food is not
cooked sufficiently after the shorter
time it can be put back in the oven and
cooked for longer.

Cooking with liquid

When cooking with liquid only fill the
cooking container ²/₃full to prevent the
liquid spilling when the cooking
container is removed from the oven.

Your own recipes

Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan
can also be cooked in the steam oven.
The cooking times in the steam oven
will be the same. Please note that food
will not be brown or crisp when cooking
with steam.

Steam cooking

Vegetables

Fresh

Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual
way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.

Frozen

Frozen vegetables do not need to be
defrosted beforehand, unless they have
been frozen together in a block.

Frozen and fresh vegetables which take
the same length of time to cook can be
cooked together.

Break up vegetables that have frozen
together in a lump and follow
instructions on the packaging regarding
cooking duration.

Cooking containers

Food such as peas or asparagus
spears, which have little or no space
between them, will take longer to cook
because the steam has less space to
work in. For an even result, it is best to
use a shallow container for these types
of food, and only fill it about 3-5cm
deep. When cooking large quantities
divide the food between 2 or 3 shallow
containers rather than using one deep
one.

Shelf level

To avoid any colour transfer when
cooking vegetables with a distinctive
colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated
container, do not place other food
underneath the perforated container.

Duration

As with conventional methods, the
cooking duration when cooking
vegetables with steam will depend on
the size and how well done you want
them. Example:
firm potatoes, cut into quarters
= approx. 17minutes
firm potatoes, cut in half
= approx. 21minutes

Settings

Temperature: 100°C

Steam cooking

Meat

Fresh

Prepare the meat in the usual way.

Frozen

Meat should be thoroughly defrosted
before cooking in the steam oven (see
"Defrosting").

Preparation

For meat which needs to be seared
before being cooked, e.g. for a stew,
sear the meat in a pan on the hob first.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on the
thickness and the texture of the meat,
and not on the weight. The thicker the
piece of meat, the longer the cooking
duration. A piece of meat weighing
500g which is 10 cm thick will take
longer to cook than a piece of meat
weighing 500g which is 5 cm thick.

Tips

– Use a perforated container to retain

the juices when cooking meat. Place
a solid container underneath to catch
the juices. You can use these to make
a gravy or freeze them for later use.

– Boiling fowl, back or top rib and meat

bones can be used to make stock.
Place the meat together with some
mixed vegetables in a solid cooking
container and add cold water and
cook. The longer the cooking
duration, the stronger the stock.

Fish

Fresh

Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.
clean, gut and fillet.

Frozen food

Fish does not need to be fully defrosted
before cooking. Defrost so that the
surface is sufficiently thawed to take
herbs and seasoning. Depending on the
thickness of the fish, 2 - 5 minutes
should be enough.

Preparation

Add some lemon or lime juice to fish
before cooking. The citric acid helps the
flesh stay firm.

It is not necessary to season fish with
salt when cooking with steam as this
method retains the minerals which give
the fish its unique flavour.

Cooking containers

If using a perforated container, grease it
first.

Shelf level

When cooking fish in a perforated
container at the same time as cooking
other types of food in other containers,
place the container with the fish directly
above the condensate tray/universal
tray (depending on model) to catch any
liquid and so avoid any transfer of
tastes to other food.

33

Steam cooking

Temperature
85 °C – 90 °C

For gently cooking delicate types of
fish, such as sole.

100 °C

For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.
cod and salmon.
Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on the
thickness and the texture of the fish,
and not on the weight. The thicker the
fish, the longer the cooking duration. A
3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g
will take longer to cook than a 2 cm
thick piece of fish weighing 500 g.

The longer fish cooks, the firmer its
flesh will become. Use the cooking
durations given in the chart. If you find
that the fish is not cooked sufficiently
only cook it for a few minutes more.

When cooking fish in sauce or stock,
we recommend that you increase the
cooking duration quoted by a few
minutes.

– You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish

heads, bones, tails etc to make a fish
stock. Place the fish scraps together
with some mixed vegetables in a
solid cooking container and add cold
water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to 90
minutes. The longer the cooking
duration, the stronger the stock.

– Blue fish is fish which is cooked in

water and vinegar. It is important not
to damage the skin of the fish. This
method is suitable for cooking carp,
trout, tench, eel and salmon. (Follow
recipe instructions for the ratio of
water to vinegar).

Settings

Temperature: see chart
Duration: see chart

Tips

– Adding herbs and spices, such as

dill, will help bring out the full flavour
of the fish.

– Cook large fish in the swimming

position. To help maintain the shape
of the fish, place a small cup or
similar upside down in the cooking
container, and arrange the fish
bellyside down over the cup.

Menu cooking (cooking whole meals)

You can use the steam oven to cook a
whole meal containing types of food
which have different cooking durations,
e.g. fish fillet with rice and broccoli.
Each dish is placed in the oven at
different times so that they are all ready
at the same time.

Shelf level

When cooking fish or food with a
distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a
perforated container, place the
perforated container directly above the
condensate tray / universal tray
(depending on model) to avoid any
transfer of flavour or colour to other
food and to prevent liquid dripping onto
food below it.

Temperature

Whole meals should be cooked at a
temperature of 100 °C as this is the
temperature required to cook the
majority of foods.
Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest
temperature when different
temperatures are required for different
types of food, e.g. 85°C for seabream
and 100°C for potatoes.

Duration

If you are increasing the recommended
temperature, shorten the cooking
duration by approx. ¹/₃.

Example

Rice 20minutes

Rose fish fillet 6minutes

Broccoli 4 minutes

20minutes minus 6minutes =
14minutes (1st duration: rice)

6minutes minus 4minutes=2minutes

Setting 14min.2min. 4 min.

If the recommended cooking
temperature for the food is 85 °C for
example, try cooking it at 100 °C and
testing the result. Some delicate types
of fish with a soft structure, e.g. sole
and plaice will become very firm when
cooked at 100°C.

47

Special applications

Reheat

The steam oven is very effective at
reheating food gently, without drying it
out or cooking it further. The food will
reheat evenly and does not need to be
stirred during the reheating process.

You can reheat individual dishes or
plated meals which have been prepared
previously (e.g. meat, vegetables and
potatoes).

Suitable containers

Small quantities can be reheated on a
plate, larger quantities should be placed
in a cooking container.

Duration

The number of plates or containers has
no bearing on the duration.

The cooking durations listed in the chart
relate to an average portion per plate/
container. Increase the cooking duration
for larger quantities.

Tips

– Do not reheat large items, such as a

joint of roast meat, whole. Divide it
into portions and reheat these as
plated meals.

Procedure

 Cover the food with a deep plate, a

lid, or with foil that is resistant to
temperatures up to 100 °C and to
steam.

 Place the plate or dish in a sufficiently

large perforated container.

crispness when they are reheated.

– Reheat sauces separately, except for

dishes such as stew and casseroles
where the sauce is part of the dish.

48

Special applications

Defrost

It is much quicker to defrost food in the
steam oven than at room temperature.

Temperature

60 °C is the best temperature for
defrosting.
Exception: 50 °C for minced meat and
game

Before and after defrosting

Remove all packaging before
defrosting.
Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and
cakes in their packaging as otherwise
they will absorb moisture and become
soft.

Allow defrosted food to stand at room
temperature after removing it from the
oven. The standing time is necessary to
allow the even distribution of heat.

Cooking containers

Tips

– Fish does not need to be fully

defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning.
Depending on the thickness of the
fish, 2 - 5 minutes should be enough.

– When defrosting food which has

frozen together, e.g. berries, chops,
fish fillets etc. separate it about half­way through the defrosting time.

– Do not refreeze food once it has

thawed.

– Defrost frozen pre-cooked meals

according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

Settings

Temperature: see chart
Defrosting duration: see chart

 Danger of salmonella poisoning.

Do not use the liquid from defrosted
meat or poultry. Pour it away and
wash the container, the sink and your
hands.

Use a perforated container with a solid
container underneath it when defrosting
food which will drip, such as poultry.
This way food will not be lying in
defrosted liquid.

Food which does not drip can be
defrosted in a solid container.

Special applications

Bottling

Only use unblemished, fresh produce
which is in good condition for bottling.

Glass jars

Use clean glass jars and accessories
and check them for any defects. Glass
jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a
rubber seal are suitable.

Make sure that all the jars are the same
size so that bottling is carried out
evenly.

After you have filled the jars with the
bottled produce, clean the glass rims
with a clean cloth and hot water and
then seal the jars.

Fruit

Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but
thoroughly and allow it to drain. Take
great care when cleaning soft fruit as it
is very delicate and squashes easily.

Remove any peel, stalks, cores or
stones. Cut up large fruit. For example,
cut apples into slices.

Fill volume

Fill the glass jars with produce up to a
maximum of 3cm below the rim. Do
not pack it down as this will damage
the cell walls of the produce. Tap the jar
gently onto a cloth to help distribute the
contents evenly. Fill the jars with liquid.
The produce must be completely
covered.

Use a sugar solution for fruit and a salt
or vinegar solution for vegetables.

Tips

– Make use of residual heat by leaving

the jars in the oven for 30 minutes
after it has switched off.

– Then cover the jars with a cloth and

allow to cool for approx. 24 hours.

If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g.
plums, apricots) without removing the
stones, pierce the fruit several times
with a fork or wooden skewer as
otherwise it will burst.

Vegetables

Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.

Vegetables should be blanched before
bottling to help them retain their colour
(see "Blanching").

Special applications

Extracting juice with steam

This appliance is ideal for extracting
juice from soft and medium firm fruit.

It is best to use overripe fruit, as the
riper the fruit the greater the quantity of
juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also
produce a more intense flavour.

Preparation

Sort and clean the fruit. Cut out any
blemishes.

Remove the stalks from grapes and
morello cherries as these are bitter. The
stalks do not need to be removed from
raspberries etc.

Cut larger fruit into chunks approx. 2
cm in size. The harder the fruit the
smaller the pieces should be.

Tips

– Try experimenting with mild and tart

fruit.

– Adding sugar will increase the

quantity of juice produced and
improve the flavour. Sprinkle the fruit
with sugar and leave to absorb for a
few hours before juicing. For 1kg of
sweet fruit add 50–100g of sugar,
and for 1kg of tart fruit add 100–
150g of sugar.

Procedure

 Put the prepared fruit (cleaned,

washed, chopped etc.) into a
perforated cooking container.

 Place a solid container or the

condensate tray underneath to catch
the juice.

Settings

Temperature: 100°C
Duration: 40 - 70minutes

– If you wish to bottle the juice rather

than consume it straight away, pour it
whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles,
and then seal immediately with
sterilised tops.

55

Special applications

Make yoghurt

To make yoghurt, you will need either
fresh live yoghurt or yoghurt culture,
obtainable from health food shops.

Use natural yoghurt with live culture and
without additives. Heat-treated yoghurt
is not suitable.

The yoghurt must be fresh (short
storage time).

You can use either unchilled long-life or
fresh milk.
Long-life milk can be used without any
further treatment. Fresh milk must first
be heated to 90 °C and then cooled
down to 35 °C. Do not boil it. Fresh milk
will give a better set than long-life milk.

The yoghurt and milk should have the
same percentage fat.

Do not move or shake the jars whilst
the yoghurt is thickening.

Immediately after preparation leave the
yoghurt to cool in the fridge.

Possible reasons for unsatisfactory results

Yoghurt has not set:
Incorrect storage of starter yoghurt, too
much time out of the refrigerator, e.g. in
transportation, damaged packaging,
milk not sufficiently heated.

Liquid has separated:
The jars were moved, yoghurt was not
cooled down quickly enough.

Yoghurt is gritty:
Milk was overheated or in poor
condition, milk and starter yoghurt not
evenly stirred.

Tip: When using yoghurt enzyme,
yoghurt can be made from a milk /
cream mixture. Mix³/₄litre milk
with¹/₄litre cream.

How well home prepared yoghurt sets
will depend on the consistency, fat
content and the cultures used in the
starter yogurt. Not all yoghurts are
suitable for use as starter yoghurt.

Cleaning and care

Important information on cleaning and care

 Danger of injury.

The steam from a steam cleaning
appliance could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the steam oven.

Unsuitable cleaning agents can
discolour and damage the surfaces
of the appliance. Only use a solution
of domestic washing-up liquid and
warm water applied with a soft
sponge or cloth.

All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Scratches on glass
surfaces could cause a breakage in
certain circumstances.

Remove any residual cleaning agent
immediately.

Allow the appliance to cool down to
a safe temperature before cleaning.

 The appliance and accessories

should be cleaned and dried
thoroughly after each use.

 Leave the appliance door open until

the oven interior is completely dry.

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. Leave the door open
afterwards.

Do not use cleaning agents or
washing-up liquids containing
aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g.
methane, propane, hexane etc.) as
these could cause the seals to swell.

66

Cleaning and care

Unsuitable cleaning agents

To avoid damaging the surfaces, do not
use:

– cleaning agents containing soda,

ammonia, acids or chlorides

– cleaning agents containing descaling

agents

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream cleaners

– solvent-based cleaning agents

– stainless steel cleaning agents

– dishwasher cleaner

– glass cleaning agents

– cleaning agents for ceramic hobs

– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,

e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents

– melamine eraser blocks

Appliance front

Soiling that is left too long might
become impossible to remove and
could cause external surfaces to alter
or discolour.

Remove any soiling immediately.

 Clean the front with a solution of

warm water and a little washing-up
liquid applied with a clean sponge or
cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth
without cleaning agent can also be
used.

 After cleaning dry the front of the

appliance with a soft cloth.

– sharp metal scrapers or tools

– wire wool

– stainless steel spiral pads

– spot cleaning

– oven sprays.

67

Cleaning and care

Oven interior

When cleaning the back of the oven
cavity, make sure that nothing gets
caught behind the seals around the
steam inlet and outlet. Otherwise the
seals could get pushed into the back
panel by mistake.

After prolonged use, the floor heater
can become discoloured by drops of
liquid.

 Remove:

– condensate using a sponge or

absorbent cloth,

– light, greasy soiling with a sponge

and a solution of washing-up liquid
and hot water.

 After cleaning, wipe the surface with

a damp cloth to remove any cleaning
agent residues.

 Then dry the oven interior and the

inside of the door with a cloth.

Accessories

All accessories are dishwasher safe.

Condensate tray and cooking containers

 Wash and dry the condensate tray

and cooking containers after each
use.

 Any bluish discolouration on the

cooking containers can be removed
with vinegar. Then rinse with clean
water.

Replace the door seal with a new one
if it becomes porous or brittle. Door
seals can be ordered from the Miele
Spare Parts Department (see the end
of this booklet for contact details).

68

Cleaning and care

Side runners

The side runners are suitable for
cleaning in a dishwasher.

 The side runners can be cleaned in

the dishwasher or by hand with a
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a
clean sponge.

 Push the side runners firmly back in

after cleaning.
When putting them back in, make
sure they are correctly inserted (see
illustration).

If the side runners are not correctly
inserted there is no anti-tip
protection. The temperature sensor
could also be damaged when
cooking containers are placed in the
steam oven.

Water container

Do not immerse the water container
in water or clean it in a dishwasher.

For reasons of hygiene and to
prevent the build-up of moisture in

brushes.

 Remove, empty and dry the water

container after each use.

 Release the insert by pushing the

catches on the sides in towards each
other and then pull it out of the
container.

 After cleaning, dry both parts of the

insert thoroughly before replacing it in
the water container. When replacing
the insert, guide it in at an angle 
and then push it downwards  as
illustrated.

69

Cleaning and care

Coupling seal

 If, after prolonged use, the water

container becomes difficult to remove
and replace or the fault message 
appears, rub a small amount of the
silicone grease supplied into the
inside of the coupling seal.

Do not take the seal out to lubricate it.

Misuse of silicone grease!
Remove any silicone grease from

your skin either by wiping it off or by
washing it off.

If the grease gets into the eyes, it
must be rinsed out with plenty of
clean water.

If it is swallowed, seek medical
advice.

Only use the silicone grease
supplied. On no account must
margarine or oil or any other
domestic grease or fat be used, as
these can cause the seal to swell.

 The coupling seal should be replaced

with a new one if it becomes brittle or
porous or if an unusually large
amount of water collects on the floor
of the water container compartment.

Coupling seals can be ordered from the
Miele Spare Parts Department (see the
end of this booklet for contact details).

Descaling

We recommend using Miele descaling
tablets (see "optional accessories").
These have been specially developed
for use with Miele appliances to
optimise the descaling process.
Alternatively you can use a proprietary
citric acid based descaling agent.

Descaling solution is acidic.
Do not spill descaling agent onto

metal surfaces.
However, should any descaling

agent get onto these surfaces, wipe
it away immediately.

The steam oven needs to be descaled
after a certain number of operating
hours. When it needs descaling, the
symbol and a number will appear in
the display when the appliance is
switched on. The number indicates the
number of times that the steam oven
can be used before it has to be
descaled.

The appliance will lock after the last
remaining cooking process.

We recommend that you descale the
appliance before it locks out.

During the descaling process the water
container must be emptied, rinsed out
and refilled with fresh water and the

Electrical connection

All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations
(e.g. BS 7671 in the UK). Connection
should be made via a switched socket.
This will make it easier for service
technicians should the appliance need
to be repaired. The electrical socket
must be easily accessible after
installation.

 Danger of injury.

Miele cannot be held liable for
unauthorised installation,
maintenance and repair work as this
can be dangerous to users.
Miele cannot be held liable for
damage or injury caused by incorrect
installation, maintenance or repair
work, or by an inadequate or faulty
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

If the plug is removed from the
connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the
appliance must be connected to the
electrical supply by a suitably
qualified electrician.

If the switched socket is not
accessible after installation, or if the
appliance is to be hard-wired, an
additional means of disconnection
must be provided for all poles. When
switched off, there must be an all­pole contact gap of at least 3mm in
the switch (including switch, fuses
and relays). Connection data is
shown on the data plate. It must
match the mains electrical supply.

After installation ensure that all
electrical components are shielded
and cannot be accessed by users.
