Warning and Safety instructions

The steam combination oven is referred to in the following instructions as a

steam oven.

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. The door glass, the control panel and the ventilation outlet above the oven door all get hot. Make sure that children do not touch the steam oven or attempt to open the door when it 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

10 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 mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special connection cable type H 05 VV-F (PVC insulated), available from Miele, by a Miele approved service technician or suitably qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard. See "Electrical connection".

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.

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 10 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

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.

Make sure that you keep to the recommended grilling times when using grilling functions.

Excessively long grilling times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even cause the food to catch fire.

Some foods dry out very quickly and can be ignited by high grilling temperatures.

Do not use grilling functions for crisping rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Instead use Fan Plus or Conventional Heat .

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.

Never use the steam oven without a floor filter as large food residues may block the water outlet and the pump.

To prevent the risk of damage, do not leave the food probe in the steam oven when it is not being used.

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.

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.

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.

Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food probe.

The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures. Do not use the food probe when grilling (Exception: Fan Grill ). If you are not using the food probe, do not store it in the oven.

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

Control panel

The water container and condensate container are located behind the control panel. The control panel can be opened and closed with the sensor. It is fitted with an obstruction sensor. If it meets an obstruction while opening or closing, the process is cancelled. When opening and closing the control panel, do not touch the door handle.

Water container

The maximum water level is 1.4 litres, the minimum 1.0 litre. These levels are indicated on 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.

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

Condensate container

Condensate that collects in the appliance from cooking is pumped into the condensate container. The container has a maximum capacity of 1.4 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 in the food, enabling the temperature during the cooking process to be monitored simply and accurately.

Temperature / Core

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").

The core temperature can also be changed within a given range for an individual cooking process or cooking stage.

Description of the functions

Moisture content

The Combi mode and Reheat functions use a combination of oven heat and moisture. You can alter the moisture 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 0%, 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 6, 10 or 12 hours.

The duration of the Automatic, Maintenance and Menu cooking programmes is set at the factory and cannot be altered.

With the Steam cooking function and programmes 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 programmes.

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 as it rises and

Heating-up phase in all programmes except for Automatic progs, Menu cooking 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. 7 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

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.

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

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.

If the sensor on the control panel is touched, the oven compartment lighting will come on for 15 seconds.

Using for the first time

General settings

Selecting the country

The steam oven must not be operated until it has been correctly installed in its housing unit.
