Warning and Safety instructions

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

steam oven.

This appliance complies with all current local and national safety requirements. However, inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and damage to property.

Please read these operating and installation instructions carefully before using the steam oven for the first time. They contain important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the steam oven.

In accordance with standard IEC 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in “Installation”, as well as in the “Warning and Safety instructions”.

Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.

7

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.

The steam oven is intended only to steam, bake, roast, grill, defrost and reheat food.

Any other use is not permitted.

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.

8

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 appliance if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely. They must be able to understand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.

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.

Risk of suffocation from packaging material. Whilst playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.

Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. External parts of the steam oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent become quite hot. Do not let children touch the steam oven when it is in operation.

Keep children well away from the steam oven until it has cooled down and there is no danger of injury.

Risk of injury from the open door. The oven door can support a maximum weight of 10 kg. Children could injure themselves on an open door.

Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.

9

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised 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).

10

Warning and Safety instructions

Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the oven will endanger your safety and may lead to steam oven malfunctions.

Do not open the steam oven housing under any circumstances.

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 mains connection cable (see “Installation - 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 front (e.g. a door), do not close the furniture front while the steam oven is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture door. This can result in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the steam oven has cooled down completely.

11

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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

Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven compartment, shelf runners, accessories, food or steam.

Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it, and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.

Risk of injury caused by hot food.

Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or removing it. The food can cause burns.

When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill.

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 high temperatures and steam. Other plastic containers may melt, distort or break.

Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.

Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

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.

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.

Grilling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it to dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the recommended cooking durations.

Certain foods dry out quickly and may catch fire due to high grilling temperatures.

Never use a grill function to finish baking bake-off rolls or bread, or to dry flowers or herbs. Use the Fan Plus or Conventional Heat functions instead.

To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if there is smoke inside the steam oven. Interrupt the programme by switching the steam oven off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do not open the 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 line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil or oven liners. Do not place any crockery or any pans, pots or baking trays directly on the floor of the oven compartment.

If you want to use the floor of the oven compartment as an extra surface, place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. In doing so, ensure that the filter in the floor of the oven is not moved.

14

Warning and Safety instructions

The oven compartment floor can become damaged by the rack being pushed around on it.

Do not push the rack around on the oven compartment floor.

Larger deposits of food can block the drain and pump. Always make sure that the filter in the floor of the oven is inserted.

When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender, near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven 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.

15

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning.

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 (see “Cleaning and care – Cleaning the shelf runners”).

Refit the shelf runners correctly.

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.

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.

Water consumption depends on the type of food and the cooking duration. The water may need to be topped up during cooking. Water consumption is increased if the door is opened during cooking.

Fill the water container to the maximum level before each cooking programme involving steam.

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.

Temperature

Some functions are allocated with a recommended temperature. The recommended temperature can be altered within the given range for an individual cooking programme or programme stage, or for every time that programme is used You can alter the recommended temperature in 5 °C increments, or 1 °C increments in sousvide cooking (see “Settings – Recommended temperatures”).

Description of the functions

Moisture

The Combi mode function and

Reheat application use a combination of oven heat and moisture. The moisture level can be selected within the given range for an individual programme or a specific programme stage.

Depending on the moisture setting, moisture or fresh air is supplied to the oven compartment. With the moisture setting = 0%, the maximum fresh air supply is implemented and no moisture is supplied. With the moisture

setting = 100%, there is no fresh air supply and the moisture content is at its maximum.

Some food gives off moisture during the cooking process. This moisture from the food affects the amount of additional moisture needed. If the required amount of moisture is low, the steam generator may not be activated at all.

Cooking duration

Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of between 1 minute and 10 or 12 hours.

The cooking durations of the Automatic and Maintenance programmes are set at the factory and cannot be altered.

When cooking with steam, as well as for programmes and applications with pure steam operation, the cooking duration does not begin until the set temperature is reached. It starts immediately for all other functions, programmes and applications.

Noises

A humming sound can be heard during operation and after switching off the steam oven. This noise does not indicate incorrect operation or an appliance fault. The noise is made by water being pumped through the system.

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

Description of the functions

Heating-up phase

The display shows the temperature in the oven compartment as it rises during the heating-up phase in all functions

(exceptions: Full Grill, Economy Grill).

The duration of the heating-up phase with steam cooking will depend on the quantity and temperature of the food. In general, the heating-up phase will take approx. 7 minutes. It will be longer if you are cooking refrigerated or frozen food. The heating-up phase may also take longer when cooking at lower temperatures and when cooking with the Sous-vide function.

Cooking phase

The elapsing remaining time is shown in the display during the cooking phase. When cooking with steam, the cooking phase begins once the set temperature is reached. It starts immediately for all other functions, programmes and applications.

Steam reduction

With steam cooking and Combi mode, the steam reduction function will switch on automatically at the end of a cooking programme which uses a temperature within a certain temperature range. This is to prevent a large amount of steam escaping when the door is opened.

Steam reduction appears in the display.

Steam reduction can be switched off (see “Settings - Steam reduction”). When steam reduction is switched off, a large amount of steam will escape 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 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 lighting can be switched on for 15 seconds by touching the sensor on the control panel.
