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.
10
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 H05VVF(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.
Warning: If the lamp needs to be replaced, ensure it is replaced by
a Miele approved service technician and that the appliance is
switched off beforehand to avoid the possibility of an electric shock.

Warning and Safety instructions
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.
12
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 heating elements, the walls of the steam oven, shelf
runners, trays, steam and hot food itself.
Use oven gloves when placing food in the steam oven, turning or
removing it and when adjusting shelves etc. in a hot oven.
When putting cooking containers into the steam oven or taking them
out, take care not to spill the contents.
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 containers which are not heat-resistant will melt, and may
ignite, at high temperatures and can damage the steam oven.
Use only heat-resistant plastic containers. Please follow the
container manufacturer's instructions. 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.
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 8kg. 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.
13
Warning and Safety instructions
Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the steam oven
unattended when cooking with oil and fat.
If it does ignite, do not put the flames out with water. Switch the
steam oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by
keeping the oven door closed.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam
oven when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up the room.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs in the oven interior. Cancel the cooking process by switching
the appliance off, then switch off at the socket and remove the plug.
Do not open the appliance door until the smoke has dispersed.
If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high
temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on
the hot heating elements.
Never cover the floor of the oven with aluminium foil, or place
oven dishes, pans, saucepans or trays directly onto the floor of the
oven.
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.
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.
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 Miele.
Do not immerse the water container in water, or clean it in a
dishwasher. Connecting the water container in the appliance when
wet could cause an electric shock.
14
Warning and Safety instructions
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.
15
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

accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
16
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 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 1.2litres,
the minimum 0.75litre. These levels are
indicated on the interior and exterior of
the container. 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.
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.
Grease filter
The grease filter in the oven ceiling
must be fitted for every programme.
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

fresh fruit flans, e.g. plum or damson, or
pizza with lots of topping).
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.
25
Description of the functions
Moisture content
The Combi mode and Reheat
functions use a combination of oven
function and moisture. You can alter the
moisture/humidity level within a given
range for an individual cooking
programme or a cooking stage.
Depending on the moisture setting,
either moisture or fresh air is injected
into the oven compartment. If the
moisture setting is 20%, the maximum
supply of fresh air is fed into the oven
compartment and no moisture is used.
If the moisture setting is 100%, only
moisture is injected into the oven
compartment.
Some food gives off moisture during
the cooking process. This moisture
from the food also controls the amount
of moisture needed. If the required
amount of moisture is very low and the
food already contains a lot of water, the
steam generator may not be activated
at all.
Duration
Depending on the function, you can set
a cooking duration of between 1 minute
and 10 or 12 hours.
The duration of the Automatic and
Maintenance programmes is set at the
factory and cannot be altered.
With Steam cooking and with
functions and programmes that use
steam alone, the set cooking duration
does not start to count down until the
set temperature has been reached. It
begins immediately with all other
functions and programmes.
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.
26
Description of the functions
Heating-up phase
During the heating-up phase the display
will show the temperature in the
cooking compartment as it rises and
Aufheizphase in all programmes except
for Automatic programmes and
Maintenance.
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. 7minutes. 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
With steam programmes the steam
reduction function will switch on
automatically at the end of a cooking
programme which uses a certain
temperature range. This reduces the
amount of steam which escapes when
the door is opened. Steam reduction will
appear in the display in addition to
Process finished.
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").
If the door is left open at the end of a
cooking programme, the oven lighting
will switch off automatically after 5
minutes.
The oven lighting gives off heat. If you
are operating the steam oven at a
temperature below 50 °C, the oven
compartment lighting switches off
automatically.

described in "Settings - Language".
Risk of damage to the water
container!
Do not clean the water container or
the insert in the dishwasher and do
not immerse them in water.
29
Using for the first time
Accessories / Oven compartment
Remove all accessories from the
oven compartment.
Wash the accessories in a mild
solution of washing-up liquid and hot
water or in the dishwasher.
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.
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.
Only use tap water. Never use
distilled or mineral water or other
liquids.
Remove the water container and fill it
to the "max" marker.
Push the water container into the
appliance until it connects.
You should then run the Steam
cooking programme at 100°C for
15minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation: Steam cooking".
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 300m or
more. To do this, descale the appliance
(see "Cleaning and care - Maintenance
- Descaling").
