Causes of damage

Caution!

– Do not place anything on the cooking compartment

floor. Do not cover it with aluminium foil. A build-up

of heat could damage the appliance.

The cooking compartment floor and the evaporator

dish must always be kept clear. Always place

ovenware in a perforated cooking container or on a

wire rack.

– Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not

come into contact with the door panel. This could

cause permanent discolouration of the door panel.

– We recommend you use a mineral water low in

chloride and without added carbonic acid if your

tap water contains large amounts of chloride

(>40 mg/l). You can inquire with your local water

supply company to obtain information about your

tap water.

– Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant.

Silicone baking tins are not suitable for combined

operation with steam.

– Use only original accessories in the cooking

compartment. 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.

Order small parts from our after-sales service if

these should be lost.

– Dripping liquids: When steaming with a perforated

cooking container, always insert the baking tray, the

universal pan or the solid cooking container

underneath. Dripping liquid is caught.

– Do not store moist food in the closed cooking

compartment for long periods. It can lead to

corrosion in the cooking compartment.

– Salt, spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup or mustard) or

salted dishes (e.g. cured roast) contain chloride

and acids. These corrode the surfaces of stainless

steel. Always remove residues immediately.

– Fruit juice may leave stains in the cooking

compartment. Always remove fruit juice immediately

and wipe the cooking compartment with a moist and

dry cloth.

– Improper care of the appliance may lead to

corrosion in the cooking compartment. Refer to the

care and cleaning instructions in the instruction

manual. Clean the cooking compartment each time

you use it as soon as the appliance has cooled

down. After cleaning the cooking compartment, use

the drying programme to dry it.

– Do not detach the door seal. The appliance door

will no longer close properly if the door seal is

damaged. The fronts of adjacent units could be

damaged. Have the door seal replaced.

– Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door

handle. The door handle cannot support the weight

of the appliance, and could break.

Environmental protection

Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here

you can find tips on how to save even more energy when

using the appliance, and how to dispose of your

appliance properly.

Saving energy

▯Open the appliance door as little as possible while

cooking.

▯Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins

for baking. They absorb the heat particularly well.

▯It is best to bake several cakes one after the other.

The oven will still be hot. This reduces the baking

time for the second cake. You can also place 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.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly

manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with

European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning

used electrical and electronic appliances

(waste electrical and electronic equipment -

WEEE). The guideline determines the
