SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
9WARNING
When properly cared for, your new
appliance has been designed to be
safe and reliable. Read all
instructions carefully before use.
These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire,
and injury to persons. When using
kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed,
including those in the following
pages.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
Connect only to properly grounded outlet.
Refer to Installation Instructions for
details.
This appliance is intended for normal
family household use only. It is not
approved for outdoor use. See the
Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If
you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals,
vapors, flammables or nonfood products
in or near this appliance. It is specifically
designed for use when heating or
cooking food. The use of corrosive
chemicals in heating or cleaning will
damage the appliance and could result in
injury.
Do not operate this appliance if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.
Do not obstruct oven vents.
Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically
recommended in this manual. Refer all
servicing to an authorized servicer.
9WARNING

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9WARNING
Make sure the appliance and lights
are cool and power to the appliance
has been turned off before replacing
the light bulb(s). Failure to do so
could result in electrical shock or
burns. The lenses (if equipped) must
be in place when using the
appliance. The lenses (if equipped)
serve to protect the light bulb from
breaking. The lenses (if equipped)
are made of glass. Handle carefully
to avoid breaking. Broken glass can
cause an injury.
9WARNING
Light socket is live when door is
open if main power supply is not
turned off.
9WARNING
Risk of short circuiting! Never allow
electrical appliance cords to become
pinched in the hot appliance door.
The cord’s insulation can melt.
Fire Safety
9WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so
blocks air flow through the oven.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
If materials inside an oven or warming
drawer should ignite, keep door closed.
Turn off the appliance and disconnect the
circuit at the circuit breaker box.
9WARNING
Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in
overheating the appliance. Never use
the appliance for storage.
Always have a working smoke detector
near the kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair
catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the appliance.
Smother flames from food fires other than
grease fires with baking soda. Never use
water on cooking fires.

extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
– The fire is small and contained
in the area where it started.
– The fire department is being
called.
– You can fight the fire with your
back to an exit.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS
OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN -
Heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of
an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns.
Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings
and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the
appliance. Standing to the side, open the
door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let
hot air and/or steam escape. Keep your
face clear of the opening and make sure
there are no children or pets near the
unit. After the release of hot air and/or
steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep
doors shut unless necessary for cooking
or cleaning purposes. Do not leave open
doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. Always use
oven mitts, when the oven is warm. If a
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact the heating
elements.
9CAUTION
To avoid possible injury or damage
to the appliance, ensure rack is
installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or
upside down.

7
9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
9WARNING
Scalding hazard!
Movement when opening the
appliance door and when removing
the cookware can cause hot liquid to

not hang loose, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling
sleeves.
Use caution when cooking foods with
high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy,
bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates
at high temperatures. There is a risk of
burning as the alcohol vapors may catch
fire in the oven. Use only small quantities
of alcohol in foods, and open the oven
door carefully.
9WARNING
Risk of scalding!
Hot liquid may spill over the sides of
cooking accessories when they are
removed from the oven cavity.

en-us Causes of damage
] Causes of damage
Causesofdamage NOTICES:
▯Do not place anything directly on the oven floor. Do
not line it with aluminum foil. Heat build-up can
damage the appliance.
▯The oven bottom should always remain clear. Always
place dishes in a perforated baking pan or on a rack.
▯We recommend you install a descaling system for
hard mains water. You can inquire with your
waterworks to obtain information about your mains
water.
▯Aluminum foil may not contact the door pane in the
oven. This can cause permanent discoloration of the
door pane.
▯Dishes must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone
baking dishes are not suited for combination
operation with steam.
▯Use only original accessories in the oven interior.
Rusting material (such as serving platters or knives
and forks) can cause corrosion in the oven interior.
▯Use original small parts (e.g. knurled nuts) only.
Reorder small parts through out spare parts service if
these should be lost..
▯Dripping liquids: When steaming with a perforated
pan, always place the unperforated pan underneath to
collect dripping liquids.
▯Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an
extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion
inside the oven.
▯Salt, spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup or mustard) or salted
dishes (e.g. cured roast) contain chlorides and acids.
These corrode the surfaces of stainless steel. Always
remove residues immediately.
▯Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove
fruit juice immediately when safe to touch, and wipe
up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.
▯Your appliance's oven interior consists of high-grade
stainless steel. Corrosion can occur in the oven
interior if it is not cared for properly. Observe the care
and cleaning notes in the operating instructions. After
every use, clean the oven interior straight after the
appliance has cooled down. After cleaning, dry the
oven interior with the drying program.
▯Do not detach the door seal. The appliance door will
no longer close properly if the door seal is damaged.
Adjoining furniture frontages may be damaged. Have
the door seal replaced.
7 Environmental protection
Environmentalprotection Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
an environmentally friendly manner.
Saving energy
▯Open the appliance door as little as possible while
cooking.
▯Use dark, black-painted or enamelled baking forms.
These absorb the heat particularly well.
▯It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The
steam oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time
for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf tins
next to each other.
▯For longer cooking times, you can switch off the
steam oven 10 minutes before the end of the cooking
time and you can use the residual heat to finish
cooking.
▯When steaming, you can cook simultaneously on
several levels. If dishes require different cooking
times, insert the dishes that require the longest time
first.
