This document provides installation instructions for a steam oven, detailing safety precautions, building-in dimensions, electrical connections, and general installation procedures.

Function Description:

The document describes the installation process for a steam oven, which is an appliance designed for cooking with steam. It can be installed in either a tall unit or a base unit within kitchen furniture. The primary function of the document is to guide qualified personnel through the correct and safe installation of the appliance, ensuring it operates as intended and without risk to users.

Important Technical Specifications:

Dimensions: All building-in dimensions are provided in millimeters.
- Tall Unit Installation:
  - Minimum depth of the housing unit: ≥550 mm.
  - Width of the niche: 560+8 mm.
  - Height of the niche: 450+2 mm.
  - Overall width of the appliance: 595 mm.
- Base Unit Installation:
  - Minimum depth of the housing unit: ≥550 mm.
  - Width of the niche: 560+8 mm.
  - Minimum height of the niche: ≥460 mm (this height is for the steam oven itself; additional height may be required for a cooktop installed above it).
  - Overall width of the appliance: 595 mm.
Front Dimensions (Side View):
- Glass front: 22 mm.
- Metal front: 23.3 mm.
- Various internal measurements related to the appliance's depth and mounting points are also shown (e.g., 444.5, 333, 111.5, 451.5, 455.5).
Ventilation: A ventilation cut-out of a minimum of 180 cm² is required.
Mains Connection Cable: The supplied mains connection cable has a length (L) of 2000 mm. If replaced, it must be type H 05 VV-F.
Electrical Connection:
- The connection data (frequency and voltage) on the steam oven's data plate must match the household mains electricity supply.
- An all-pole contact gap of at least 3 mm is required for means of disconnection (e.g., miniature circuit breakers, fuses, relays) if hard-wired or if the socket is inaccessible.
- A residual current device (RCD) with a trip range of 30 mA is advisable for extra safety.
Leveling: The maximum deviation from the horizontal that can be tolerated for the steam generator to function correctly is 2°.
Mounting Screws: Wood screws supplied for securing the appliance are 3.5 x 25 mm.

Usage Features (related to installation and safety):

Qualified Installation: The steam oven must only be installed by a qualified person to prevent damage from incorrect installation.
Data Plate Matching: Before connection, the frequency and voltage on the appliance's data plate must be compared with the electricity supply to prevent damage.
Accessibility of Socket/Switch: The socket and on-off switch should be easily accessible after installation for user convenience and safety.
Cooking Container Visibility: The steam oven must be positioned so that the user can see the contents of a cooking container placed on the top shelf level to avoid injuries or spillages of hot food.
No Back Panel: The furniture housing unit must not have a back panel fitted behind the building-in niche, which is crucial for ventilation and proper fit.
Cooktop Integration: If installed under an electric or induction cooktop, the installation instructions and building-in height requirements for the cooktop must also be observed.
No Multi-socket Adapters/Extension Leads: These are explicitly prohibited for connecting the steam oven to the power supply due to fire hazard and insufficient safety.
No Connections in Ventilation Area: The document specifies an area where no connections are permitted, likely to ensure unobstructed airflow for ventilation.
Lifting the Appliance: The appliance should be lifted using the handle cut-outs on the side of the casing, not the door handle, to prevent damage to the door.
Securing the Appliance: The steam oven is secured to the side walls of the unit using supplied wood screws.
Function Check: After installation, the appliance's correct function should be checked in accordance with the operating instructions.

Maintenance Features (related to installation and safety):

Easy Servicing: Connecting the steam oven to the electricity supply using a suitable switched electrical socket simplifies servicing.
Mains Connection Cable Replacement: If the mains connection cable needs replacing, it must be done with a specific cable type (H 05 VV-F) available from Miele, ensuring safety and compatibility.
Disconnection from Mains: During repair or service work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply to prevent electric shock, and measures must be taken to ensure it cannot be switched back on by mistake.
Qualified Electrician for Hard-wiring: If the plug is removed or the cable is supplied without a plug, a suitably qualified and competent electrician must connect the steam oven to the electrical supply.
Shielding of Electrical Components: After installation, all electrical components must be shielded and inaccessible to users to prevent injury.
