Warning and Safety instructions
7
The steam oven with microwave is referred to in the following instructions as a
steam oven.
This steam oven complies with all applicable safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and mater-
ial damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before us-
ing the steam oven. They contain important information on safety,
installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal in-
jury and damage to the steam oven.
In accordance with standard IEC/EN60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the steam oven as well as the safety instruc-
tions and warnings.
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 intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
This steam oven is not intended for outdoor use.
The steam oven is intended for domestic use only to steam-cook,
defrost, reheat and cook food.
All other types of use are not permitted.
Fire hazard due to flammable materials.
If flammable items are dried using microwave power, the moisture in
the items will evaporate. This could cause the materials to dry out
and possibly self-ignite.
Never use the steam oven to store or dry items which could ignite
easily.
The steam oven can only be used by people with reduced phys-
ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and know-
ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the con-
sequences of incorrect operation.
The oven compartment is equipped with special lamps to cope
with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical res-
istance, abrasion resistance and vibration). These special lamps
must only be used for the purpose for which they are intended. They
are not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be
fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the Miele Customer Ser-
vice Department.
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 steam
oven unless they are constantly supervised.
Children aged 8 and older may only use the steam oven without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner.
Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers caused by incorrect operation.
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.
Risk of suffocation due to packaging material. Whilst playing, chil-
dren may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic
wrapping) or pull it over their head, presenting the risk of suffocation.
Keep packaging material away from children.
Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. Children’s skin is
far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. During
operation, steam will escape out of the ventilation outlet. The door
glass and control panel of the steam oven heats up.
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 8kg. 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 can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs 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 dam-
age 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 steam oven can result in microwave leak-
age and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the steam oven 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
compartment interior walls
– there is moisture between the door panes
Reliable and safe operation of this steam oven can only be as-
sured 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 re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
