Warning and Safety instructions
7
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 IEC60335-1, 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 non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and 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.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
9
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 10kg. Children could injure themselves on an
open door.
Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.
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).
