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.

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.
~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.
Warning and Safety instructions
7
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 steam
oven 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 rec-
ognise 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. External parts of the steam oven such as the door glass,
control panel and the vents become quite hot during use. Do not let
children touch the steam oven whilst it is in use.
~Danger or injury.
The oven door can support a maximum weight of 10 kg.
Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it.
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.
~Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check
it for visible signs of damage before using it.
~The electrical safety of this steam oven 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.
~Before connecting the steam oven 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 appliance must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g.
on a ship).
Warning and Safety instructions
9
~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
appliance is supplied without a plug, the appliance must be
connected to the electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
If the cable is damaged it must be replaced with the correct cable
by a Miele authorised technician only. See "Electrical connection" for
more information.
~During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
~In countries where there are areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention
to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at
all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will
not be covered by the guarantee.
