Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance 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 appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on installation, safety, use and maintenance. Miele cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these instructions.

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

Warning and Safety instructions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Description of the functions

Water container

The maximum water level is 2.0 litres, the minimum 0.5 litre. These levels are indicated on the container on the handle side. Do not exceed the maximum level.

The amount of water used will depend on the type of food and the duration of cooking. Water will sometimes need to be replenished during the cooking process. Water consumption is increased if the door is opened during cooking.

Fill the water container to the maximum level before each use.

At the end of the cooking programme hot residual water in the steam generator is pumped back into the water container. The water container must be emptied after each use.

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.

Temperature

Some functions have a default recommended temperature. This temperature can be altered within the given range for the programme or programme stage in use, or for every time that programme is used (see "Settings - Recommended temperatures"). Recommended temperatures can be changed in 5 °C steps, or in 1 °C steps for Sous-vide cooking.

Duration

You can set a duration of between

1 minute (00:01) and 10 hours (10:00). If the duration exceeds 59 minutes, you have to enter it in hours and minutes. Example: Duration 80 minutes = 1:20.

Noises

You will hear a pumping sound when the appliance is switched on, during use and after switching it off. This is the sound of water being pumped through the system and is quite normal.

When the steam oven is in use, you will hear a fan noise.

Description of the functions

Heating-up phase

During the heating-up phase the display will show the temperature in the cooking compartment and Heating-up phase as it rises in all programmes

except Automatic programmes, Descale.

When cooking with steam, 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. 5 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.

Cooking phase

The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is reached. During the cooking phase, the duration remaining will be shown in the display.

Steam reduction

If a cooking temperature above approx. 80 °C has been set, the appliance door will automatically open a fraction just before the end of a cooking programme to release some of the steam from the cabinet. Steam reduction appears in the display. The door will then close again automatically.

Steam reduction can be switched off if you wish (see "Settings - Steam reduction"). If switched off, there will be a lot of steam emitted from the cabinet when the door is opened.

Oven interior lighting

For energy saving reasons, the oven interior lighting has been set at the factory to go out after the programme has begun.

If you want the lighting to remain on during cooking, the relevant factory default setting needs to be changed (see "Settings - Lighting").

The interior of the steam oven has been treated at the factory with a conditioning agent.

To remove this, clean the oven interior with a mild solution of washing-up liquid and warm water and then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Using for the first time

Setting the water hardness

level

The water hardness level of the steam oven is set to Hard at the factory. For trouble-free operation of the steam oven, and to ensure that it is descaled at the appropriate time, it is important to set the water hardness level for your area. The harder the water, the more often the steam oven must be descaled.

Check the hardness of your local water supply and adjust the water hardness as necessary (see "Settings - Water hardness").

Setting the correct boiling

point for water

Before cooking with the steam oven for the first time, it must be set to the correct boiling point for water in your area. This is determined by the altitude at which you live. This procedure also flushes out the water pipework.

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

Run the Steam cooking programme at 100 °C for 15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation".

Setting the correct boiling point for water following a house move

If you move house, the appliance will need to be reset for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by 300 m or more. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care - Descaling").
