Use
This appliance is intended for residential use only.
The steam oven is not suitable 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.
Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities, or experi-
ence with the appliance should not use it without supervision or in-
struction by a responsible person.
This steam oven is supplied with a special bulb to cope with par-
ticular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance and vibration). This special bulb must only be
used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for
room lighting. Replacement of bulbs may only be carried out by a
Miele authorized technician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Children
Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam oven inadvertently.
Children must not be allowed to clean the steam oven unsuper-
vised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do
not let them play with it.
As with any other appliance, you must constantly keep an eye on
children while the steam oven is in operation.
Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
Danger of burning. Children's skin is far more sensitive to high
temperatures than that of adults. The door, control panel and the
ventilation cut-outs for oven compartment ventilation 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.
Risk of injury! The maximum allowable weight on the door is
22lbs (10 kg).
Do not allow children to hang, lean or sit on the door when open.

Technical safety
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 instruc-
tions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for examination,
repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by unauthorized per-
sons 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 appli-
ance.
Reliable and safe operation of this steam oven can only be as-
sured 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 appli-
ance, 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).
