This steam combi oven must only be

used for the preparation and keeping warm of food. Any other usage is at the owner's risk. 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 combi 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

Activate the safety lock to ensure

that children cannot switch on the appliance inadvertently.

Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance. It is not a toy!

Older children may only use the

oven when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely. They must also be able to recognise 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 sit on or

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

Before installation, check the

appliance 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, make sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. 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

This appliance may be connected

via a fused plug and switched socket. If you wish to connect it to an isolator switch, or if the appliance is supplied without a plug, it must be installed and connected 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 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 the manufacturer. Otherwise the warrantyis 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.

Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil or fats as these are a fire hazard if allowed to overheat. Fire hazard.

If oil or fat catches fire, do not

attempt to put out the flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

Do not exceed the recommended

grilling times when using the "Full grill", "Economy grill" and "Fan grill" functions. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning, or could even cause it to catch fire. Fire hazard.

Do not use the "Full grill", "Economy

grill" or "Fan grill" to finish baking par-cooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Fire hazard. Use "Fan plus" or "Conventional heat" instead.

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.

Do not store anything combustible in

the oven. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance is switched on by mistake.

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.

Never use the steam combi oven

without a floor filter as large food residues may block the water outlet and the pump.

If you want to use plastic containers

in your steam oven, make sure they can resist temperatures (up to 100 °C) and steam. Other plastic containers may melt, distort or break.

Do not use silicone bakeware with

the Steam/Fan plus combination mode as silicone is not steam-resistant.

If using alcohol in your recipes, high

temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on the hot heating elements. Alcohol should be burnt off before the dish is placed in the oven to avoid this danger. Fire hazard.

Never place a dish, tin, baking tray

or similar object on the oven floor.

Warning and safety instructions

Never line the floor of the oven with

aluminium foil. Do not use protective aluminium foil panels, available in retail outlets, which are intended to be used to line the oven cavity to reduce the need for cleaning. If used, cooking and baking times would increase considerably and they would block the steam inlet.

To prevent the risk of damage, do

not leave the food probe in the steam combi oven when it is not being used.

Do not use the appliance to heat up

the room. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire. The life of the appliance could also be reduced.

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.

When using an electrical appliance,

e.g. a hand-held mixer, near the steam combi oven, ensure that the connection cable doesn't get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

If the steam combi oven is built-in

behind a furniture door, it must only be operated when the door is open. Close the furniture door only once the appliance has completely dried out.

Accessories

Only use the special Miele food

probe. If the food probe breaks, it must be replaced by an original Miele food probe. This can be obtained from Miele.

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

Do not place anything heavy on the

open appliance door. The maximum loading for the door is 8 kg.

Do not operate the appliance

without the lamp cover. Steam could attack the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Steam could also damage the electrical components.

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.

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 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. Do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

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

Condensate container

The condensate is pumped into the condensate container during steam cooking. The maximum water level is 1.2 litres.

Grease filter

Fit the grease filter in the back wall for all roasting programmes. It should be removed when using steam programmes. It must be removed when baking, as otherwise results can be uneven (Exception: fit the grease filter in the back wall when baking open deep fresh fruit flans, e.g. plum or damson or pizza with lots of topping).

Food probe

The food probe measures the core temperature of food. Using the wireless food probe enables the temperature during the cooking process to be monitored simply and accurately.

Please refer to the separate "User instructions" booklet supplied with the oven for information on how to use the food probe.

Temperature / Core temperature

Some functions have recommended temperatures and, where appropriate, a pre-set core temperature for the food probe. You can alter the recommended temperature within a given range (see "Functions") for an individual cooking process or permanently (see "Settings"). You can alter the core temperature for the food probe within a given range for an individual cooking process or a cooking stage.

Cooking duration (time)

Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of between 1 minute and 6,10 or 12 hours. The durations for the Automatic and Maintenance programmes are set by default and cannot be changed.

Description of the functions

Moisture content

For programmes and functions which only use steam, the duration will start to elapse once the set temperature is reached. For all other programmes/ functions, it will start immediately.

The Combination mode and Reheat functions use a combination of fan heat and moisture. You can alter the moisture level within a given range for an individual cooking programme or a cooking stage.

Description of the functions

Noises

A buzzing sound can be heard after switching on the appliance, during operation and after switching off the appliance. This is not a fault. It is made by the pumping in and out of the water. During a programme you will hear a fan noise.

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. Exceptions: Automatic, Menu cooking, Reheating, Maintenance.

Steam cooking

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. 7 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.

Steam reduction

(with steam programmes)

If cooking is done at a temperature greater than 75 °C, the steam reduction function will switch on automatically after the cooking programme has finished. This reduces the amount of steam which escapes from the appliance when the door is opened at the end of the cooking duration. Steam reduction will appear in the display in addition to Programme finished.

You can switch off the steam reduction function (see "Settings / Steam reduction").

Keeping food warm

(with steam programmes)

If the appliance is not switched off after the cooking programme has finished, the Keeping warm function will start automatically. Food is kept warm for a maximum of 15 minutes at 70 °C.

You can switch off this function (see "Settings / Keeping warm").

Please note that delicate food, especially fish, can continue cooking whilst being kept warm.

Oven lighting

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

To switch the lighting on for a short time during operation, touch one of the inactive sensors on the left or right-hand side of the display. If you want the oven compartment to be illuminated the whole time the oven is operating, you will need to change the factory setting (see "Settings / Lighting").

Description of the functions

If the door is left open at the end of a cooking programme, the oven lighting will switch off automatically after 5 minutes. You may find it helpful to switch on the lighting when you are cleaning the oven (see "Additional functions / Lighting").

The oven lighting gives off heat. If you are operating the oven on a temperature below 60 °C, select the "on for 15 seconds" setting.
