Maintenance and repairs to electri-
cal appliances should only be car-
ried by a suitably qualified and com-
petent person to ensure safety. Re-
pairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for unauthorised work.
What to do if ...
... the fan can still be heard after the
appliance has been switched off
The appliance is fitted with a fan which
removes steam from the oven.
The fan will continue to run for a while
after the oven has been switched off.
... the appliance does not heat up
when switched on
Check whether
– the
Start
button has been pressed.
– the safety lock has been activated.
– the overheating protection mecha-
nism has been triggered (see section
"Protection from overheating").
– the mains fuse has blown.
If these are not the case then discon-
nect the appliance from the mains
supply for about 1 minute, by
– switching it off at the socket, or
– by withdrawing the mains fuse.
Reconnect to the mains supply and
switch the appliance on. If it still does
not heat up then contact a qualified
electrician or the Miele Service Depart-
ment.
... the water container has become
harder to put into the appliance and
take out again.
Lightly lubricate the O-Ring on the con-
necting valve in the water container
with the silicone grease supplied (see
"O-Ring" in "Cleaning and Care").
... a great deal of steam comes out of
the appliance while it is in use.
It is possible that the appliance was not
rinsed through using the "Descaling"
function before it was used for the first
time.
Refer to the section "Before using for
the first time" and carry out the proce-
dure as described.
If this does not solve the problem, call
the Miele Service Department.
... steam escapes out of a closed ap-
pliance door or any other part of the
steam oven
Check whether the door seal
– is correctly fitted. If necessary press
it in all the way round the door to
make sure it is evenly located.
– shows any signs of wear and tear,
e.g. cracks. If so it must be replaced.
Call the Miele Service Department.
