COOLING FAN
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan that cools the housing and the appliance control
panel.
EXTENDED OPERATION OF THE COOLING FAN
After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a short while in
order to provide additional cooling for the oven. (Extended cooling fan operation depends
on the temperature in the center of the oven.)
602220
OVEN EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES (depending on the model)
GLASS BAKING DISH is used for cooking
with all oven systems and for cooking with
microwaves. It can also be used as a serving
tray.
The GRID is used for grilling or as support
for a pan, baking tray or baking dish with
the food.
There is a safety latch on the grid.
Therefore, the grid has to be lifted slightly at
the front when pulling it out from the oven.
The SHALLOW BAKING SHEET is used for
baking pastry and cakes.
The DEEP BAKING TRAY is used for
roasting meat and baking moist pastry. It
can also be used as a drip tray.
Never place the deep baking tray in the
first guide during the cooking process, except
when grilling food or using the roasting spit and
you are only using the deep tray as a drip tray.

6
602220
STEAM SET (INOX) is used for cooking
vegetables, potatoes, fish or meat. The
perforated tray prevents contact between the

Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean
the oven as they may damage the finish or the protective enamel
coating. Such damages may lead to cracking of the glass.
Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners to clean the
appliance as this may result in an electric shock.
The appliance is not intended to be controlled with external
timers or special control systems.
The appliance is intended for household
use. Do not use it for any other purpose,
such as room heating, drying of pets or
other animals, paper, fabrics, herbs etc. as
this may lead to injury or fire hazard.
The appliance may only be connected to
the power mains by an authorized service
technician or expert.
Tampering with the appliance or non-
professional repair thereof may result
in risk of severe injury or damage to the
product.
If the power cords of other appliances
located near this appliance are caught
in the oven door, they may be damaged,
which may in turn result in a short circuit.
Therefore, keep the power cords of other
appliances at a safe distance.
If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorized service technician, in order to
avoid hazard.
Do not line the oven walls with aluminium
foil and do not place baking trays or other
cookware on the oven bottom. Aluminium
foil would prevent air circulation in the
oven, hinder the cooking process, and ruin
the enamel coating.
Oven door become very hot during
operation. A third glass is installed for extra
protection, reducing the temperature of the
outside surface (only with some models).
Oven door hinges may be damaged when
under excessive load. Do not place heavy
pans on open oven door and do not lean
against open oven door when cleaning the
oven cavity. Never stand on the open oven
door and do not let children to sit on it.
Appliance operation is safe with and
without tray guides.
Make sure the vents are never covered or
obstructed in any other way.

Safe and correct use of the steam oven
Leave the appliance at room temperature for
some time before connecting it to the power
mains to allow all components to adapt to
room temperature. If the oven is stored at a
temperature near or below freezing point,
there is a danger for some components,
especially the pumps.
The appliance should not operate in an
environment with a temperature below 5
°C. Below this temperature, the water that
remains in the pumps could freeze. If the
appliance is turned on in such conditions, the
pumps could be damaged.
If the appliance does not work correctly,
disconnect it from the power mains.
Do not store items in the oven, which could
cause danger when the oven is switched on.
Do not use distilled water that is not suitable
for ingestion.
After the steam cooking is completed, there
is some residual steam in the oven. Open
the oven door carefully, as there is danger of
scalding with steam.
Clean the oven once it has cooled down to
room temperature.
After the cooking process, the remaining
water in the steam system is pumped back
into the water tank. Therefore, the water
there could be hot. Be careful when emptying
the water tank.
To prevent the build-up of limescale, leave
the oven door open after cooking to allow
the oven cavity to cool down to room
temperature.
Eventual mismatches in colour shades
between different appliances or components
within a single design line may occur due to
various factors, such as different angles under
which the appliances are observed, different
coloured backgrounds, materials, and room
illumination.
We recommend not to open the door during
the steam cycle due to increased quantity of
water condensate.
602220
BEFORE CONNECTING THE OVEN:
Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the
appliance. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect
connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the
warranty.
WARNING!
Risk of burns and damage to the appliance.
• Released Steam can cause burns: Be careful when you open the appliance
door when the function is activated. Steam can release.
WARNING!
Use only water as the liquid. Do not use filtered (demineralised) or distilled water.

602220
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Upon receiving the appliance, remove all parts, including any transport equipment, from
the oven.
Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any
abrasive cleaners.
When the oven heats up for the first time, the characteristic smell of a new appliance will
be emitted. Ventilate the room thoroughly during the first use.
STEAM COOKING
Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the full flavour of foods. This cooking
method releases no odours. There is no need to add salt to the water or to add herbs and
spices.
Following are the advantages of steam cooking:
Cooking (braising, roasting) starts before the temperature inside the oven reaches 100 °C.
Slow cooking (braising, roasting) is also possible at lower temperatures.
It is healthy: vitamins and minerals are well preserved because only a small share of them
is dissolved in the condensation water that touches the food.
There is no need to add any fat during the cooking process. The steam maintains the taste
of food. It does not add odours, nor the taste of the grill or the pan. Furthermore, it takes
nothing away because the food is not diluted in the water. Steam does not spread the
flavour or smell; therefore, meat or fish can be cooked together with vegetables. Steam is
also suitable for blanching, defrosting and reheating or keeping the food warm.
