The appliance may only be connected to
the power mains by an authorized service
technician or expert. Tampering with
the appliance or nonprofessional 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.
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.

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 appliance
may not operate correctly. If the appliance
is switched on in such conditions, the pump
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 (e.g. distilled water for batteries,
to which acid is added).
When you open the oven door (with steam
systems) after the end or during steam
cooking, make sure to open the door to the
fully open position; otherwise, the steam from
the oven cavity could negatively affect the
control panel operation.
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.
It is inadvisable to open the door during
the steam cycle, as this will increase power
consumption and formation of water
condensate.
603744

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.

15
603744
FILLING THE WATER TANK
The tank allows for independent water supply to the steamer. The tank volume amounts
to approx. 1.3 litres (maximum water level – see marking). This amount of water allows
approximately 3 hours of cooking time with max. steam cycle (hot air with steam on "high"
system).
Clean the water tank before the first use.
Always fill the water tank with clean and cool water from the pipeline,
bottled water without additives, or distilled water suitable for use
in cooking. Water that is poured into the water tank should be at a
temperature of 20 °C (+/- 10 °C).
1Press on the spot with the sticker to open the tank door.
The sticker can be later removed.
2Remove the water tank from the housing by grabbing the notch.
3Open the lid. Wash the tank with water. Re-assemble the tank. Before use, add
fresh water up to the MAX marking on the
tank.
4Push the water tank back into the housing to the final position (until the short click).
Then, press the tank door to close it.
After the cooking process, the remaining
water in the steam system is pumped back into
the water tank. The lid and the water tank can
be washed with standard non-abrasive liquid
cleaners or in a dishwasher.
