Fitting Out The Appliance
Metal shelf
The metal shelf can be used for
toasting, browning and grilling. It is also
used for steam cooking.
To install the flat shelf, insert it at a
45 degree angle and then position it
horizontally and push it all the way in, to
the end of the grill track.
To remove the flat shelf, pull it toward
you until it stops and then lift, by pulling
upwards, until it comes completely out
(Fig. 1).

Drip tray
The drip tray can be slid into its location
underneath the shelf to collect the
juices from grilling or the condensate
from steam cooking (Fig. 2).
To remove it, lift slightly and slide it
toward you.
To reinsert it, slide it back until it is
correctly seated.
Perforated tray
The perforated tray is used for steam
cooking and is positioned, with its
support frame, on the flat grill (Fig. 3).
The drip tray is used with this to catch
drips from the food during steam
cooking.

Before First Use
Cleaning
Before using the oven for the first time we recommend that you clean
it with soapy water, rinse carefully and then heat on the grill setting
at maximum temperature for 30 minutes, with no accessories in the
oven.
A slightly unpleasant smell may be produced, caused by grease
remaining on the oven elements from the production process.
On first electrical connection
On first connection to the electricity supply the oven may give a
continuous beep. In this case, this may be cancelled by turning the
“Steam oven” knob to any position then back to the o position.
Setting the clock
Press the “Duration” button and the “End” button at the same
time, then use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust the display to show
the correct time. The dot will stop flashing and the time will set after a
delay of approximately 5 seconds.
