service.
Causes of damage
Caution!
■Do not place anything on the cooking compartment floor. Do
not cover it with aluminium foil. A build-up of heat could
damage the appliance.
The cooking compartment floor and the evaporator dish must
always be kept clear. Always place ovenware in a perforated
cooking container or on a wire rack.
■Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not come
into contact with the door panel. This could cause permanent
discolouration of the door panel.
■Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone baking
tins are not suitable for combined operation with steam.
■Do not use ovenware that shows signs of rust. Even the
smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the cooking
compartment.
■When steaming with a perforated cooking container, always
insert the baking tray or the solid cooking container
underneath. Dripping liquid is caught.
■Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment
for long periods. It can lead to corrosion in the cooking
compartment.
■Fruit juice may leave stains in the cooking compartment.
Always remove fruit juice immediately and wipe the cooking
compartment with a moist and dry cloth.
■If the door seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer
close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units
could be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean and
replace when necessary.
■Do not place anything on the open appliance door. The
appliance could be damaged.
■Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The
door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance, and
could break.
■The cooking compartment in your appliance is made of high
grade stainless steel. Improper care can lead to corrosion in
the cooking compartment. Refer to the care and cleaning
instructions in the instruction manual. Remove food residues
from the cooking compartment as soon as the appliance has
cooled.

Operating modes
Using the operating mode selector, you can select the following
operating modes:
Automatic calibration
The boiling temperature of water depends on the air pressure.
During calibration, the appliance is adapted to the pressure
conditions in the location where it is installed. This happens
automatically when you first use the appliance (see section:
First use). More steam develops than usual.
It is important that the appliance steams without interruption for
20 minutes at 100 °C. Do not open the appliance door during
this time.
If the appliance was not able to calibrate itself automatically (for
example, because the appliance door was opened), the
calibration process is carried out again during the next cooking
operation.
After moving house
So that the appliance automatically adjusts itself to its new
location, you must reset the appliance to the factory settings
(see section: Basic settings) and repeat the initial start-up
process (see section: First use).
After a power cut
The appliance saves the calibration settings even in the event
of a power cut or disconnection from the mains. Recalibration
is not necessary.
Your accessories
The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for
making many dishes. Ensure that you always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
Accessories
The following accessories are supplied with your appliance:
You can store the accessories underneath the cooking
compartment. Place the accessories inside each other in the
correct order (see Fig. below).
Operating mode Use
éSteam cooking 35 - 100 °C For vegetables, fish, side dishes, for juicing fruit and for blanching.
8CircoSteam® 120 - 230 °C for meat, bakes and baked goods.
Hot air and steam are combined.
3Hot air 30 - 230 °C for moist cakes, sponge, pot roasts.
A fan in the back wall of the oven distributes the heat evenly inside the cooking
compartment.
äReheat 100 - 180 °C For plated meals and baked items.
Cooked food is gently reheated. The steam ensures that the food does not dry
out.
êDough proving 35 - 50 °C For yeast dough and sourdough.
Dough will prove considerably more quickly than at room temperature. Hot air and
steam are combined so that the surface of the dough does not dry out
ADefrost setting 35 - 60 °C For vegetables, meat, fish and fruit.
Hot air and steam are combined. The moisture gently transfers the heat to the
food. The food does not dry out or lose shape.
/Low-temperature
cooking
60 - 120 °C for sirloin, leg of lamb.
Tender pieces of meat stay particularly juicy.
PPlate warming 30 - 70 °C for porcelain tableware.
Food does not cool down so quickly on preheated plates and dishes. Drinks also
remain warm for longer.
çKeep warm 60 - 100 °C for keeping food warm for up to two hours
>EasyClean® Makes cleaning the cooking compartment easier
ÍDescaling For descaling the water system and the evaporator dish

Then slide all the accessories together fully in, so that the
appliance door is not damaged when it is opened.
You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from
specialist retailers or online.
Note: The cooking containers may warp during and after
cooking. This is caused by the considerable temperature
differences acting on the accessories. It may occur if only a
part of the accessory is occupied with food or if you place
frozen items, such as pizza, on the accessory. Once
accessories cool down again, they regain their original shape.
This does not affect their function.
Inserting accessories
The accessories are equipped with a locking function. The
locking function prevents the accessories from tilting when they
are pulled out. The accessories must be inserted into the
cooking compartment correctly for the tilt protection to work
properly.
When inserting the wire rack, check
■that the lug (a) is pointing downwards
■that the safety lug on the wire rack is at the back and facing
upwards.
When inserting the cooking container, ensure that the lug (a) is
facing downwards.
Cooking compartment
The cooking compartment has four shelf positions. The shelf
positions are counted from the bottom up.
Caution!
■Do not place anything on the cooking compartment floor. Do
not cover it with aluminium foil. A build-up of heat could
damage the appliance.
The cooking compartment floor and the evaporator dish must
always be kept clear. Always place ovenware in a perforated
cooking container or on a wire rack.
■Do not slide any accessories between the shelf positions, or
they may tip.
Optional accessories
You can obtain further accessories from specialist retailers:
