9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national and local safety regulations and the provided installation instructions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
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 steam oven can only be assured if it has been connected to the power supply.
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the power 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 use an extension cord to connect this appliance to the power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in.
This steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be performed by a Miele-authorized service technicians. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.
If the plug has been removed or the power cord is not supplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to the power supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a special connection cable type H 05 VV-F (PVC insulated). See "Electrical connection."
Before installation, maintenance, and repair work, the steam oven must be disconnected from the electrical supply. It is only completely isolated from the electrical supply if: the fuse has been removed (where applicable), the main circuit breaker has been tripped, or the power cord has been unplugged from the wall outlet. Always be sure to pull the plug not the cord.
If the steam oven is installed behind a cabinet door, do not close the door while the appliance is in operation. Heat and moisture can build up behind the closed door and cause damage to the range and to the surrounding cabinets and flooring. Do not close the door until the appliance has completely cooled down.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be reffered to a qualified technician.
11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance has been damaged in any manner. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department.
12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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. Use pot holders when placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Take care when putting cooking pans into the oven or removing them not to spill the contents.
Use only dry, heat-resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not let potholders come in contact with oil or grease. Do not substitute dish towels or other bulky items for potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars in the steam oven, as pressure will build up in the container, causing it to explode.
Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and can even damage the steam oven or catch fire.
Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in a steam oven. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on use. If you want to use plastic containers for steaming food make sure that they are temperature resistant to 210°F / 100°C and steam resistant. Any other plastic containers could melt, become brittle or break when subjected to heat.
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.
Do not leave the appliance door open unnecessarily as someone may trip over it or be injured by it.
13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The door can support a maximum weight of 22 lbs (10 kg). Do not sit, lean or place heavy items on the open oven door. Also be sure nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven cavity. The steam oven could get damaged.
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.
Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing agent or foam fire extinguisher.
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.
Broiling food for an excessively long time can cause it to dry out with the risk of catching fire.
Do not exceed recommended broiling times.
Some foods dry out very quickly and can be ignited by high broiling temperatures. Do not use broiling functions for crisping rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Instead use the Convection
Plus or Surround functions.
To avoid fueling any flames, do not open the appliance door if you see smoke coming from the food in the oven interior. Interrupt the current process by turning off the appliance and disconnecting it from the power. Do not open the door until the smoke has dissipated.
Use caution when using alcohol in your recipes. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures but may, in rare circumstances, combust on the hot heating elements.
Never cover the floor of the oven with aluminum foil, or place oven dishes, pans, saucepans or trays directly onto the floor of the oven.
14
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never use the steam oven without a drain filter as large food residues may block the drain and the pump.
To prevent the risk of damage, do not leave the roast probe in the oven cavity when it is not being used.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g., a hand-held mixer, near the steam oven, make sure that the power cord does not get caught in the door. The insulation on the cord 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 should be installed at a safe height for users to safely access all cooking levels and pans. Otherwise spills could cause burns or scalding and children may be put at risk by the hot appliance door.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or in the vicinity of the cooktop.
Open the door carefully to allow hot air or steam to escape before placing or removing food.
Keep the oven vent ducts open.
Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
To prevent burns, always place oven racks at their desired height while the steam oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
15
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: Heating elements may be hot even though they are not glowing. Interior surfaces of an steam oven become hot enough to cause burns. External parts of the steam oven such as the door glass, vents, and the control panel can become hot. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact with heating elements or interior surfaces of the steam oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
16
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this oven.
Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Scratches on the door glass can cause the glass to break.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to clean the door glass.
The side runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see "Cleaning and care").
Ensure that they are replaced correctly and do not use the oven without them in place.
To avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surfaces of the Speed Oven, remove any splashes on the interior walls of the oven from food or liquids containing salt.
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will become void.
Only use the Miele roast probe supplied with this oven. If it is faulty, it must only be replaced with a Miele genuine roast probe.
The plastic on the roast probe can melt at very high temperatures. Do not use the roast probe when using the broil functions (exception: Convection Broil ). Do not store the roast probe in the oven if it is not in use.
The perforated and solid cooking pans will be damaged by high temperatures! Use them only in modes and programs that work exclusively with steam.

The water container and condensate container are located behind the control panel. The control panel is opened and closed using the "Lift Panel" sensor. The panel is equipped with a device which will automatically stop it moving if it meets an obstruction while opening or closing. Do not touch the door handle while the panel is opening or closing.
The maximum water level is 3 pints (1.4 liters), the minimum 1 quart (1 liter). These levels are indicated on the container. Do not exceed the maximum level.
The amount of water depends on the type of food and the duration of cooking. You may need to refill the water container during the cooking procedure. Opening the door will increase the amount used.
Fill the water container to the maximum level before each use.
Condensate that collects in the appliance from cooking is pumped into the condensate container. The container has a maximum capacity of 3 pints (1.4 liters).
Insert the grease filter in the back wall for all roasting programs.
It should be removed when using steam programs.
It must also be removed when baking, as otherwise results can be uneven (exception: deep fresh fruit pies, pizza with extra toppings).
The roast probe measures the core temperature in the food, enabling the temperature during the cooking process to be monitored simply and accurately.

Description of functions
The Combi Steam and Reheat modes use
a combination of oven heat and moisture. You can alter the moisture/humidity level within a given range for an individual cooking program or a cooking stage.
Depending on the setting for the program, either moisture or fresh air is injected into the oven. If the humidity level is set to 0%, the maximum amount of air will be injected and no moisture. If the level is set to 100%, air will not be injected into the oven and the maximum amount of moisture will be injected.
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.
Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of between 1 minute and 6, 10 or 12 hours.
The duration of the MasterChef, Maintenance and Menu Cooking programs is set at the factory and cannot be altered.
With the Steam Cooking function and programs that use steam alone, the cooking duration does not start to count down until the set temperature has been reached. It begins immediately with all other functions and programs.
You will hear a pumping sound when the appliance is turned on, during use and after turning 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 functions
During the preheating phase the display will show the temperature in the cooking compartment as it rises and PreHeating in all programs except for Mas-
terChef, Menu Cooking, and Maintenance.
During steam cooking, the duration of the preheating phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the food. In general this phase will last for approx. 5 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.
The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is reached. During the cooking phase, the time left will be shown on the display.
If cooking is performed in a certain temperature range during steam cooking and combination cooking, the steam reduction function switches on automatically at the end of the cooking program. 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
Program Finished.
This function can be switched off if you wish (see "Settings - Steam reduction").
The oven light has been set at the factory to go out when cooking starts.
If you want it to stay on all the time the oven is on you will need to alter the default setting (see "Settings - Lighting").
If the door is left open at the end of a cooking program, the oven lighting will turn off automatically after 5 minutes.
The oven lighting gives off heat. If you are operating the combi steam oven at a temperature below 125°F (50°C), the oven compartment lighting switches off automatically.
If the "Light" button on the control panel is pressed, the oven compartment lighting will come on for 15 seconds.

Risk of damage to the surfaces of the universal tray and the wire oven rack.
The universal tray and wire oven rack are treated with PerfectClean and must only be cleaned by hand.
See "Cleaning and care - PerfectClean" for more information.

The interior of the steam oven has been treated at the factory with a conditioning agent.
To remove this, clean the oven interior with warm water and liquid dish soap and then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Setting the water hardness
level
The steam oven is factory set for Hard water. It must be adjusted 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 water hardness as necessary (see "Settings - Water hardness").
29
Before using for the first time
Setting 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 of the installation location of the appliance. This procedure also flushes out the waterways.
This procedure must be carried out to ensure efficient functioning of your appliance.
Only use cold tap water (less than 68°F / 20°C). 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 engages.
You should then run the Steam Cooking program at 210°F / 100°C for
15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation ‒ Steam cooking."
If you move, the appliance will need to be re-set for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by 984 ft (300 m) or more. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care – Maintenance – Descaling").
To remove the grease from the ring heating element, heat the appliance up with nothing in it at 400°F / 200°C using the Convection Bake function for 30 minutes.
Proceed as described in "Operation ‒ Functions without steam."
There will be a slight smell the first time the heating element is heated up. The smell and any vapors will dissipate after a short time, and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.
It is important to ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated during this operation.
