Correct use
~Danger of burning!
The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
Exercise care when handling food and trays so as not to burn
yourself on heating elements, the walls of the steam oven, shelf
runners, trays and hot food itself.
Use oven gloves when placing food in the steam oven, turning or
removing it and when adjusting shelves etc. in a hot steam oven.
When putting cooking containers into the oven or taking them out,
take care not to spill the contents.
~Danger of burning!
Hot water is located in the steam generator at the end of a cooking
programme. This water is pumped back into the water container.
Take care not to tip the water container when taking it out of the
appliance.
~Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle 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 leave the oven door open unnecessarily as someone may
trip over it or be injured by it.
~Plastic containers that cannot withstand high temperatures and
hot steam may melt and cause damage to the appliance.
Only use plastic containers that can withstand high temperatures
(up to 100 °C) and steam. Please follow the container
manufacturer's instructions.
~Food which is left in the steam oven can dry out and the escaping
moisture can lead to corrosion in the appliance. Do not leave
cooked food in the steam oven and do not use any cooking
containers which are susceptible to corrosion.
Warning and Safety instructions
10

~The appliance door can support a maximum load of 8 kg.
Do not lean or sit on an open door, or place heavy items on it. Make
sure that nothing gets trapped between the door and the oven
compartment. This could damage the appliance.
Cleaning and care
~Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
~Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp
metal tools to clean the door glass.
~The shelf runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care").
Ensure they are correctly fitted after cleaning and never operate the
steam oven without the shelf runners fitted.

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.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing 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.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre. Please ensure that it presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

increase.
Depending on the cooking process, the water container may
need to be refilled after cooking for 90 minutes. The
appliance signals if there is insufficient water (?) in the water
container.
At the end of a cooking programme, any residual water is
pumped from the steam generator back into the water
container. Ensure you empty the water container after using
the appliance.

Heating-up phase
During the heating-up phase the oven compartment is heated
to the set temperature. The display will show the temperature
of the cooking compartment as it rises.
The duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the
quantity and the temperature of the food. In general the
heating-up phase will last for approx. 5 minutes. The duration
will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.
Cooking phase
The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is
reached. During the cooking phase the duration remaining
(time left) will be shown in the display.
Steam reduction
Shortly before the end of the cooking duration the appliance
door opens slightly so that steam can escape from the
cooking compartment. The door will close again
automatically.
You can switch off the steam reduction function (see
"Settings"). If steam reduction is switched off, a lot of steam
will escape from the appliance when the door is opened.
Please refer to "Steam cooking" and "Special applications"
for more information and tips on how to use your steam
oven.

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied
with this documentation in the space provided in the "After
sales service, data plate, warranty" section of this booklet.
Cleaning for the first time
^Remove any protective foil and sticky labels.
Water container
^Remove the water container and clean it by hand.
Accessories / Oven interior
^Remove all accessories from the steam oven. Wash them
by hand using hot water and a little washing-up liquid or in
the dishwasher.
The interior of the steam oven was treated at the factory with
a conditioning agent.
^To remove this, clean the oven interior with a mild solution
of washing-up liquid and warm water and then dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Setting the water hardness level
The water hardness of the steam oven is set to hard (S03) at
the factory. For trouble-free operation of the steam oven, and
to ensure that it is descaled at the appropriate time, it is
important to set the water hardness level for your area. The
harder the water, the more often the appliance must be
descaled.
^Check which water hardness level has been set and, if
necessary, set the correct water hardness (see "Settings").
Before using for the first time
19

Setting the correct boiling point for water
Before cooking with the steam oven for the first time, it must
be set to the correct boiling point for water in your area. This
is determined by the altitude at which you live. This
procedure also flushes out the water pipework.
To ensure trouble-free operation of your appliance, this
procedure must be carried out.
^Operate the appliance at 100 °C for 15 minutes. Proceed
as described in "Operation principles".
If you move house, the appliance will need to be reset for a
new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than 300
m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care
> Descaling").
