Warning and Safety instructions
7
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
8
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
9
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 8kg.
Do not let children sit on the door, lean against it or swing on it. They
could injure themselves.
Warning and Safety instructions
10
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.
