Guide to the appliance

To avoid the risk of accidents to the
appliance please read these
instructions carefully before using it
for the first time. They contain
important information on its
installation, safety, use and
maintenance.
The use of the appliance by the
elderly or infirm or those who have
not used the appliance before
should be supervised by a
competent and responsible person
to avoid the risk of injury.
Please stick the extra data plate for
the appliance supplied with this
documentation in the space
provided in the "After sales service"
section of this booklet.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future user.
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.
This appliance may be connected
via a plug and fused socket. If you
wish to connect it to an isolator switch,
or if the appliance is supplied without a
plug, it must be installed and
connected by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance
with local and national safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is tested regularly, and if
there is any doubt, the electrical wiring
in the home should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electrical supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Never open the casing of the
appliance.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components is highly dangerous to
the user and can cause operational
faults.
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct usage
Built-in appliances must not be
used until after they have been
correctly installed. This is necessary to
ensure that all electrical components
are shielded.
This appliance is intended for
domestic use only and is not to be
used for commercial purposes.
This appliance must only be used
as described in these instructions.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk
and could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect or
improper use of the appliance.
Do not immerse the steam
generator in water, or clean it in a
dishwasher. Connecting the steam
generator into the appliance when wet
could cause an electric shock.
For reasons of hygiene and to
prevent the build-up of moisture in
the appliance, the steam generator
should be emptied after each use.
The drip channel should be wiped
dry with a soft cloth after each
programme.
After use, leave the door open until
the cooking compartment is
completely dry.
If the appliance is not going to be
used for a longer period of time,
e.g. whilst on holiday, it should be
thoroughly cleaned beforehand to
prevent the build-up of odours etc.
Refer to "Cleaning and heating up for
the first time" and carry out the
procedure as described. Leave the
door open afterwards.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

Safety with children
The appliance must be installed at
such a height that small children
cannot reach the appliance door, which
gets hot during use.
Use the safety features (see "Lock"
and System lock") to prevent
children operating the appliance or
altering the settings.
The appliance is only intended for
use by adults who have read these
operating instructions.
This appliance is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury keep
children well away and do not let them
play with it or use the controls. They will
not understand the potential dangers
posed by it. They should be supervised
whenever you are working in the
kitchen.
The appliance gets hot when in
use and remains hot for quite a
while after being switched off. To
safeguard against burning, keep
children well away from the appliance
at all times.
Warning: Take care in the area
around the hinges. Danger of
injury. Keep children well away.
Do not allow children to lean
against the open oven door, nor to
sit on it or swing on it.
Packaging (e.g. cling film,
polystyrene) and plastic wrappings
must be kept out of the reach of babies
and young children. Danger of
suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all
packaging materials safely as soon as
possible.
Before discarding an old
appliance, switch off and
disconnect it from the power supply.
Cut off and render any plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
appliance to prevent misuse. This
should be done by a competent
person. See "Disposal of your old
appliance or machine" for further
details.
Warning and Safety instructions
11

Protecting the appliance from
damage
Do not use the appliance to heat
up food in sealed jars and tins.
Pressure will build up inside them, and
they can explode causing damage to
the appliance, as well as the risk of
injury and scalding.
Do not store cooked food in the
oven. The moisture in the food can
lead to corrosion in the appliance.
Do not use metallic containers or
utensils in the oven which are likely
to rust. This can cause corrosion.
Only use the descaling tablets
supplied (see "Optional
accessories") or a proprietary citric acid
descaling agent to descale the
appliance. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging. Do not
use vinegar or descaling agents
containing vinegar, as these can cause
corrosion in the appliance.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Do not place heavy objects on the
open door. The door can support a
maximum weight of 8 kg.
The appliance is designed in such
a way that there will always be a
little residual water left in the steam
generator after use. If there is no
residual water, there is something
wrong. Call the Service Department.
Warning and Safety instructions
12

Protection from burning and
scalding
The appliance, especially the
inside of the door and the area
around the ventilation outlet, becomes
hot during use, and remains hot for
some time after switching off.
To protect your hands, use oven
gloves when using the appliance.
However, do not let them get damp or
wet, as this causes heat to transfer
through the material more quickly with
the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
When putting cooking containers
or the condensate tray into the
oven or taking them out, take care not
to spill the contents. Avoid contact with
hot steam, and do not touch the hot
oven interior walls. Danger of burning
and scalding.
Take care not to tip the steam
generator when taking it out of the
appliance. Hot water can scald.
Warning and Safety instructions
13

Appliance faults
If there is any damage to the
appliance, it must be switched off
and disconnected from the mains
electricity supply immediately. It should
not be used again until it has been
repaired. If the appliance has not yet
been fully installed, the electricity cable
must be disconnected from the supply
point. If connected via a plug and
socket, switch off at the socket and
withdraw the plug. Contact the Service
Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.
Repairs should only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and trained
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be very dangerous and could
damage the appliance. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work. Never open the
housing of the appliance.
While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee will be
invalidated.
Further safety notes
When using an electric socket near
the oven, care should be taken that
the cable of the appliance cannot get
trapped by the oven door. The
insulation on the cable could become
damaged, giving rise to an electric
shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Some foods, e.g. poultry, may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. If in doubt, select a longer
cooking or reheating time.
If using plastic cooking containers,
make sure that they are heat- and
steam-resistant to 100 °C. Otherwise
they may melt, distort or break.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Packaging, e.g. cling film, polystyrene
and plastic wrappings, must be kept
out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Dispose of or recycle all packaging
materials safely as soon as possible.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of your
old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. If
connected by a plug, the plug must be
rendered useless and the cable cut off
directly behind the appliance to prevent
misuse.

Setting the water hardness
The steam oven is set at the factory to water hardness setting
IV (Very hard 4).
If your water hardness level differs from this you will need to
re-programme the appliance.
You can use the test strip supplied to check the water
hardness level, or your local water supplier will be able to
advise you on the water hardness of your area.
The water hardness is shown as settings I to IV equivalent to
the German scale 1 to >21 °dH (0.2 - 3.8 mmol/l).

Cleaning and heating up for the first time
Take the steam generator out of the appliance and remove
the insert (see "Cleaning and care"). Rinse the steam
generator and the insert thoroughly by hand using hot water.
Do not use any washing-up liquid or detergent.
Do not clean the steam generator or the insert in a
dishwasher. Do not immerse the steam generator in water.
Now fill the steam generator with mains tap water (see
"Before each use") and then run the Cook Universal (100 °C)
programme for 15 minutes. Proceed as described in
"Operation".
This process flushes out the waterways and sets the
appliance for the altitude in your area.
If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for
the new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than
300 m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and
care").
Warning! A lot of steam will be emitted from the appliance the
first time it is used, and the first time it is descaled after
moving house.
