Water hardness
oBaumatic recommend that you fill the water jug with distilled
water. If this is unavailable then cold drinking water should be
used.
oThe oven can be adjusted to take into account the hardness of
the water that you are filling the water jug with.
Water hardness °fH Water hardness °dH
16 – 35 °fH Average water 0 – 8 °dH Average water
0- 15 °fH Very soft water 9 – 20 °dH Very soft water
36 – 50 °fH Very hard water 21 – 28 °dH Very hard water
oThe left hand column shows water hardness measured in French
degrees. The right hand column shows water hardness measured
in German degrees.
oYour oven is automatically set to the AVERAGE WATER setting. If
your water supply is harder or softer than the figures quoted for
the AVERAGE WATER SETTING, then you must adjust the oven
settings to take this into account.
oTo adjust the water hardness setting, switch the oven on using
the oven ON/OFF button (6). SELECT COOKING MENU
will appear on the display.

Cooking with steam
IMPORTANT: This process MUST be followed when you are using a
cooking function that involves steam.
oFill the water jug with distilled water, or if this is unavailable cold
drinking water.
oFill the water jug up to the 1.2 litre mark. DO NOT fill the jug
right to the top. Otherwise the water that is pumped back into
the jug at the end of a cooking cycle may overflow.
oInsert the water jug into the water jug compartment.
oPush the water jug down completely, this ensures a perfect seal
between the tube located in the jug and the hydraulic circuit
inside of the oven.
oALWAYS ensure that the NON perforated drip pan is inserted
underneath the perforated drip pan. This will catch any
condensation, juice or food that falls from the perforated drip
pan.
oIf you are using a cooking function that doesn’t involve steam,
then you can leave the water jug inside of the water jug
compartment. It will not affect the cooking abilities of the oven.
Adding steam during hot air + steam cooking mode
The hot air + steam cooking mode allows you to add steam at any
time during cooking. This allows you to maintain the right degree of
humidity inside of the oven cavity.
oOnce the hot air + steam cooking mode and a temperature has
been selected, the message PRESS TO ADD STEAM will
appear on the display.
18

oIf you press the confirmation button (8) the symbol will
appear on the display, to indicate that the steam generator is
active.
oAfter a few moments, steam will begin to flow into the oven
cavity. The steam is introduced into the cavity periodically, with
brief pauses in between for up to 15 minutes.
oWhen the symbol goes out, the steam generator is no longer
in operation.
oIt is possible to switch off the steam generator before the 15
minute period has elapsed, by pressing the confirmation button
(8) again. PRESS TO STOP STEAM will appear on the display
to remind you that it is possible to do this.
Cooking guidelines
oPlease refer to the information given on food packaging for
guidance on cooking temperatures and times. Once familiar with
the performance of your appliance, temperatures and times can
be varied to suit personal preference.
oIf you are using the hot air cooking function, then you should
follow the information given on the food packaging for this
particular mode of cooking. It may be listed as fan oven cooking
on the food packaging.
oMake sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before
cooking, unless the instructions on the food packaging advise
that you can “cook from frozen”.
oYou should pre-heat the oven and not place food inside of it until
the pre-heating period is over. You can choose not to pre-heat
when using the hot air cooking function; however you should
extend the cooking time given on the food packaging by
approximately ten minutes.
oBefore cooking, check that any unused accessories are removed
from the oven.
oPlace cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave gaps
between the trays to allow air to circulate.
oTry to open the door as little as possible to view the dishes.
oThe oven light will remain on during cooking.
19

Warnings
oKeep the oven door closed when using any oven function.
oDo not use aluminium foil to cover the trays supplied with the
oven.
oYou should also never line the base of your oven with aluminium
foil.
oDuring cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the
bottom of your oven. They should always be placed on the
shelves provided.
oImportant: Be careful when opening the door, to avoid contact
with hot parts and steam.
oThe drip pan handle should only be used to reposition the drip
tray and NOT for removing it from the oven cavity. When
removing the drip tray, you should ALWAYS use an oven glove.
oThe drip pan handle should not be left in position when the
appliance is switched on.
Accessories
The accessories supplied with the oven, allow you to get the optimum
performance from your appliance on the various cooking modes that
are available.
20
oThe drip pan and shelf accessories
can be placed on various levels by
positioning them in the side racks
located inside of the oven.
oThis allows you to select the most
suitable level for cooking,
depending on what you are
cooking and what cooking mode
you are using. The cooking charts will give some guidance on
this.
oThe drip pan is a tray with raised edges, which can be used as a
support surface for any single level cooking container.
