must be replaced. The power cable must only be
replaced by a qualified technician in compliance
with the manufacturer's instructions and current
safety regulations. Contact an authorised After-
Sales Service.
For installation to comply with current safety
regulations, an omnipolar disconnect switch with
minimum contact gap of 3 mm must be used.
The appliance can be operated only if the
appliance oven door is firmly closed.
The earthing of this appliance is compulsory. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for injury to persons,

observe this requirement.
The manufacturers are not liable for any problems
caused by the user’s failure to observe these
instructions.
1. OPEN THE DOOR,remove the accessories and
ensure that the oven is empty. RINSE THE WATER
CONTAINER with tap water (no detergents) and
then fill it to the "MAX" mark.
SLIDE THE WATER CONTAINER into its socket until it
engages in the contact point and sits firmly in
place.
2. RUN THE CALIBRATION FUNCTION and follow on-
screen instructions.
NOTE
THE WATER PUMP responsible for filling and draining
the steam boiler is now activated. It will initially
sound louder while it is pumping air, and quieter
when water is filling the pump again.
THIS IS NORMAL, and no reason for alarm.
AFTER CALIBRATION,let the oven cool to room
temperature and then wipe dry any damp
areas if present.
EMPTY THE WATER CONTAINER and dry it off before
further use.

ENERAL
THERE ARE a number of accessories available on
the market. Before you buy, ensure that they are
suitable for cooking with steam and hot air in
combination.
PLACE A CONTAINER on the wire shelf. It can hold
greater weights than the baking tray or steam
tray can.
ENSURE THAT THERE IS a space of at least 30 mm
between the upper rim of the container and the
cavity ceiling to allow sufficient steam to enter
the container.
CHOOSIN COOKIN CONTAINER
USE PERFORATED COO ING containers whenever
possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The steam
has free access to the food from all sides and the
food is cooked evenly.
STEAM EASILY REACHES into the space between big
pieces of food such as large potatoes. This
ensures even and effective cooking. It enables a
large quantity to finish in the same amount of
time as a smaller quantity. Placing (spacing) food
to allow the steam even and easy access to
individual pieces of food enables it to be cooked
in the same amount of time as smaller quantities.
MORE COMPACT DISHES such as casseroles or bakes,
or food such as peas or asparagus spears, which
have very little or no space between them will
take longer to cook because the steam has less
space in which to work.
SPON E
THE SUPPLIED SPONGE is used for wiping off residual
condensation that may be present in the cooled
oven after cooking. It is important that you allow
the oven to cool off to avoid scalding.
WIRE SHELF
THE WIRE SHELF allows hot air circulation around
the food. Put food directly
on it or use it as support
for pots, cake tins and
other cooking containers.
When you put food directly on the wire shelf,
place the baking & drip tray under it.
BAKIN & DRIP TRAY
USE THE BA ING & DRIP TRAY beneath the wire shelf
and steam tray. It may also be used as a cooking
utensil or as a baking tray.
THE BA ING & DRIP TRAY is
used to collect the
dripping juices and food
particles that otherwise
would stain and soil the
interior of the oven. Avoid placing vessels directly
on the oven floor.
STEAM TRAY
USE THE STEAM TRAY for foods such as fish,
vegetables and potatoes.
USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE
STEAM TRAY for foods such
as rice and grains.
WATER CONTAINER
THE WATER CONTAINER IS LOCATED behind the door
and is accessible as soon as the door is opened.
ALL COO ING FUNCTIONS, except Forced air, require
the water container to be full.
FILL WATER CONTAINER to the
"MAX" mark with tap water.
USE ONLY fresh tap water or still
bottled water. Never use
distilled or filtered water nor
any other liquids in the water
container.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPTY THE WATER CONTAINER AFTER
EACH USE.This is for hygienic reasons. It also
prevents condensate from building up inside the
appliance.
CAREFULLY (i.e. slowly, so as not to spill) pull the
water container out of its compartment. Keep it
horizontal to allow remaining water to drain out
of the valve seat.
PROBE
Use only the temperature probe
recommended for this oven.
THE PROBE IS DESIGNED to
measure the internal
temperature of your food
between the range of 30 °C
and 100 °C. As soon as the set
temperature is reached, the appliance
switches off and displays
"Temperature is reached" in the
display.
NEVER IMMERSE the probe in water
when cleaning. Simply wipe clean
with a damp cloth or kitchen roll
after use.

1. PLACE THE TEMPERATURE
PROBE in the food while
it is still on the kitchen
counter.
ENSURE that as much as
possible of the probe
length is inserted in the
food.
This will ensure a more
accurate temperature
reading.
2. PLACE the prepared food in the oven.
3. FLIP THE PROBE LID BAC AND Connect the
temperature probe to
the oven wall socket
and ensure that the
cord is free, including
after the oven door is
closed. Both the
socket and probe plug
are without current.
TEMPERATURE COOKIN
THE TEMPERATURE PROBE
should normally be inserted
so that the tip of the probe
is positioned in the thickest
part of the food, as this is the part
that takes the longest time to heat.
THE TIP OF THE PROBE must not touch
any bones which the food may
contain.
Also, avoid inserting
the probe in fatty
areas of the food as
these areas heat up
more quickly, giving
misleading end
temperatures.
The probe should, if possible, be positioned so
that the tip does not touch the walls or the
bottom of the cooking vessel.
THE TEMPERATURE which is set must be higher than
the current temperature of the food.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to use the probe when making
sweets, jam or marmalade, or dishes which need
to be cooked or simmered for a long period. This
is because the highest temperature which can be
set is 100 °C.
NEVER IMMERSE the probe in water when cleaning.
Simply wipe clean with a clean, damp cloth or
kitchen roll after use.
THE OVEN MUST NOT BE OPERATED with the
temperature probe in the cavity if it is not
plugged into the oven.
If you operate the oven without complying with
the above you will damage the probe.
ONLY USE THE FOOD PROBE SUPPLIED or recommended
by the After-Sales Service. Other brands on the
market will not give proper results and may
damage your oven.
CHICKEN
WHEN THE PROBE is used to
roast chicken, the tip
should be positioned in
the thickest part of the
chicken, i.e. on the inside
of the thigh just behind the leg. It must not touch
any bones.
LAMB
WHEN COO ING A LAMB JOINT
/ LEG OF LAMB,insert the tip
of the probe into the
thickest part so that it does
not touch the bone.
PORK
WHEN COO ING POR ,e.g.
pork shoulder, gammon,
silverside, etc, the probe
should be inserted into the
'end' of the joint rather
than through the layer of
fat on the surface. Avoid placing the tip of the
probe in fatty areas of the pork.
FISH
THE PROBE CAN BE USED WHEN
COO ING WHOLE, LARGE FISH,
such as pike or salmon.
Insert the tip of the probe
in the thickest part, not too close to the
backbone.
