Safety
~
The steam oven should be installed
at a safe height for users to safely
access all cooking levels and
containers. Otherwise spills could
cause burns or scalding and children
may be put at risk by the hot appliance
door.
~
Protect your hands with oven mitts
or potholders when using the
appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns.
~
When handling cooking containers
take care not to let the contents spill.
Danger of burns.
~
The steam oven gets very hot when
in use and remains hot for some time
once turned off. Use caution.
~
To avoid injuries allow the steam
oven to cool before cleaning and
putting on or taking off parts. Unplug
the steam oven from the outlet when not
in use and before cleaning.
~
Do not heat unopened food
containers. Pressure can build up
causing an explosion that will damage
the cooking compartment. There is also
a danger of personal injury and
scalding.
~
Do not store items on the appliance
when not in use. Items could melt or
catch fire from residual heat or if the
appliance is turned on inadvertently.
~
Containers must be heat resistant
up to 212°F (100°C). Otherwise they
may melt at high temperatures in the
oven.
~
Do not use items in the steam oven
which may rust. Danger of corrosion.
~
The appliance is programmed so
that after each use residual water will
remain in the steam generator. If there
is no residual water there is a fault.
Contact the Miele Service Department.
~
Do not submerge the plug, cord or
steam generator (water tank) into water
or attempt to wash the steam generator
in the dishwasher. Danger of electric
shock!
~
Empty the steam generator after
every use for hygienic reasons and to
avoid condensate water in the
appliance.
~
Use caution not to tilt the steam
generator when inserting and removing
it. Danger of burns.
~
Make certain that the power cords of
small appliances do not come in
contact with the appliance. The
insulation of the cable could become
damaged. Danger of electric shock!

Do not lean, sit or place heavy items
on the open door of the appliance. The
door can support a maximum of 17 lbs
(8 kg).
