Warning and Safety instructions

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

steam oven.

This appliance complies with statutory 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 intended for use in domestic households and similar working and residential environments.

This steam oven is not intended for outdoor use.

This steam oven is intended for domestic use only as described in these operating instructions.

Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

Danger of burning. Do not use the steam oven to store or dry items which could ignite easily.

If such items were dried in Microwave mode, the moisture in the item would evaporate causing it to dry out and even self-ignite.

The steam oven can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

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 it is intended for. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised person or by Miele Service.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on the steam oven inadvertently.

Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appliance unless they are constantly supervised.

Children 8 years and older may only use the steam oven unsupervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.

Children must not be allowed to clean the steam oven unsupervised.

Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do not let them play with it.

Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and suffocate.

Danger of burning. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. Make sure that children do not attempt to open the door when the appliance 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 door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg. Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it. They could injure themselves.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.

Radiation by microwaves:

Service or repairs which necessitate the removal of any casing must

only be carried out by a suitably trained service technician.

Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check it for visible signs of damage before using it.

Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage. If any damage is noticed, the oven should not be used again in Microwave mode until the fault has been rectified by a service technician.

Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:

–the door is warped,

–the front of the oven compartment is dented or bowed,

–the door hinges are loose,

–holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door or the oven interior walls.

–there is moisture between the door panes.

Reliable and safe operation of this steam 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 correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.

Warning and Safety instructions

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match 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 steam oven to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard).

For safety reasons, this steam oven may only be used when it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

This steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

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.

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is supplied without a plug, the appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.

If the connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a special connection cable of type H 05 VV-F (pvc insulated). See "Electrical connection".

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

This steam oven must be plumbed in by a suitably qualified person.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

The steam oven must be connected to the cold water supply only.

The stopcock must be easily accessible after the appliance has been installed.

Before connection, check the inlet hose for visible signs of damage.

The built-in Waterproof system will only protect the appliance from water damage if the following conditions have been met:

–The inlet hose is correctly fitted and connected,

–the appliance has been correctly maintained and parts replaced where this has been necessary,

–The stopcock has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays).

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

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

Take care when putting cooking containers into the oven or removing them not to spill the contents.

Danger of burning. There will be some residual hot water in the steam generator at the end of a cooking process. This will be pumped back into the water container. Take care not to spill the contents when taking the water container out of the appliance.

Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle 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.

Plastic dishes which are not heatand steam resistant melt at high temperatures and can damage the appliance.

Use temperature- (to 100 °C) and steam-resistant plastic dishes for steam cooking. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

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.

You could injure yourself on the open steam oven door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.

The door can support a maximum weight of 8 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 cavity. The steam oven could get damaged.

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

Microwave function

Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even cause it to catch fire.

The Microwave function can be used for heating food and drinks. Do not use the Microwave function for drying flowers, herbs, bread, rolls or other flammable materials which could catch fire and cause injury by burning.

Always cover food when using Microwave mode .

It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throughout the food being cooked and that it is hot enough.

This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.

When heating food and drinks, remember that the heat is created in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food.

Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and then always check the temperature of the food after taking it out of the steam oven. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly important when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating, and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.

Warning and Safety instructions

Microwave mode is not suitable for cleaning or disinfecting items. Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning when the item is removed from the appliance.

Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles. With baby bottles, the screw cap and teat must be removed. Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.

When heating up liquids, always place a suitable glass rod or utensil into the cup or glass. When boiling and in particular when heating up liquids using microwave power, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so-called 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open.

Stir liquid before it heats up or boils. Once it has heated up wait for a minimum of 20 seconds before removing the container from the microwave oven.

Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.

Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power, even after taking them out of the oven.

They can only be cooked in their shells using the steam cooking function or in an appropriate automatic programme. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated with microwave power either as they too will explode.

Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket potatoes and aubergines, should be pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not use the microwave function to heat up cushions or pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grain, lavender or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated even after they have been removed from the oven.

To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.

Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used. However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in Microwave mode.

Fire hazard. Using microwave power with plastic dishes which are not microwave safe can cause them to melt and damage the appliance. Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper covered wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the foil lid only partially removed (see "Suitable containers for microwave use).

Do not leave the steam oven unattended when heating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials using the Microwave function .

Before using single-use containers make sure they are suitable for microwave use. See "Suitable containers for microwave use - Plastics".

Do not heat food in the steam oven in heat-retaining bags which are intended for use in normal ovens.

These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.

Warning and Safety instructions

The steam oven can suffer damage when using Microwave function if it is empty or incorrectly loaded. For this reason please do not use the Microwave function to pre-heat crockery or to dry herbs and do not start the Microwave function when the steam oven is empty.

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach 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 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 fitted.

The side runners fit into plastic bushes. Check the bushes carefully for damage. If the bushes are damaged, do not use any Microwave functions until the bushes have been replaced.

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 to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet.

Accessories

Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mater-

ial

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should 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.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also 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. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your Dealer for advice.

Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Description of functions

Steam cooking mode

Water container

Water is pumped into the water container and then into the steam generator.

At the end of the cooking programme hot residual water in the steam generator is pumped back into the water container. The water container must be emptied after each use.

The water container is removed using a push/pull system: push gently on the water container to remove it.

Temperature

Some functions have a default recommended temperature. This temperature can be altered for the programme in use, or for every time that programme is used (see "Settings - Recommended temperatures").

Duration

You can set a duration between

1 minute (0:01) and 10 hours (10:00). If the duration exceeds 59 minutes you have to enter it in hours and minutes. Example: duration 80 minutes = 1:20.

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.

Heating-up phase

During the heating-up phase the display will show the temperature in the cooking compartment as it rises and Heat-up phase in all programmes except for

Automatic programmes, 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. 5 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are cooking 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.

Description of functions

Steam reduction

If a cooking temperature above approx. 80 °C has been set, the appliance door will automatically open a fraction just before the end of a cooking programme to release some of the steam from the cabinet. Steam reduction will appear in the display. The door will then close again automatically.

Steam reduction can be switched off if you wish (see "Settings - Steam reduction"). If switched off there will be a lot of steam emitted from the cabinet when the door is opened.

Microwave power

How it works

In the steam oven with microwave there is a high-frequency tube called a magnetron. This converts electrical energy into microwaves. These microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the oven interior, and rebound off the metal sides of the oven interior to reach the food from all sides.

In order for microwaves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the cooking utensil being used. Microwaves can penetrate porcelain, glass, cardboard and plastics, but not metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils made of metal, or which contain metal, for example in the form of gold or silver trim. The metal reflects the microwaves and this could cause sparking. The microwaves cannot be absorbed.

Microwaves pass through a suitable container and find their way directly into the food. All food contains moisture molecules which, when subjected to

microwave energy, start to oscillate 2.5 thousand million times a second. The friction caused by this vibration creates heat, which first starts developing around the outside of the food and then slowly penetrates towards the centre. The moisture, fat and sugar content of food will affect the speed at which it is cooked. The heat is generated in the food itself.

Advantages

Food can generally be cooked without adding much liquid or cooking oil.

Microwaves stop being produced as soon as the cooking process is interrupted or the appliance door is opened. When the appliance is in operation, the closed, sealed door prevents microwaves escaping from the appliance.
