2 Avoiding material damage
ATTENTION!
Silicone bakeware is not suitable for combined opera-
tion with steam.
▶Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant.
Using cookware with rust spots may cause corrosion in
the cooking compartment. Even the smallest spots of
rust can cause corrosion.
▶Do not use cookware with rust spots.
Dripping liquids make the cooking compartment floor
dirty.
▶When steaming with a perforated cooking container,
always place the baking tray, the universal pan or
the unperforated cooking container underneath.
aThis will catch the liquid that drips down.
If descaling solution comes into contact with the control
panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them.
▶Remove descaling solution immediately with water.
Cleaning the water tank in the dishwasher will damage
it.
▶Do not clean the water tank in the dishwasher.
▶Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and standard
washing-up liquid.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
▶Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
partment.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.
▶Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
▶Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-
ance door.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam-
age the front of adjacent kitchen units.
▶Keep the seal clean at all times.
▶Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged
or missing.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
▶Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use.
▶Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.
▶Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
If aluminium foil comes into contact with the door pane,
it could cause permanent discolouration.
▶Do not allow aluminium foil in the cooking compart-
ment to come into contact with the door pane.
Improper care may lead to corrosion in the cooking
compartment.
▶Observe the care and cleaning instructions.
▶Once the appliance has cooled down, remove any
dirt from the cooking compartment.
Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break
it. The door handle cannot support the weight of the
appliance.
▶Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door
handle.
A build-up of heat damages the appliance.
▶Never place accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or
ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.
▶Never cover the cooking compartment floor with any
type of foil.
▶Keep the cooking compartment floor and the evap-
orator tray clear.
▶Always place the cookware in a perforated cooking
container.
Hot water in the water tank may damage the steam
system.
▶Only fill the water tank with cold water.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
▶Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings →Page24 tell you to do so.
¡Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
¡This will maintain the temperature in the cooking
compartment and eliminate the need for the appli-
ance to reheat.
Cook food on multiple levels at the same time. Put the
food with the longest cooking time in first.
¡If you are preparing food at the same time, you can
shorten the operating time.

4.3 Heating functions
Here you can find an overview of the types of heating. You can find recommendations on using the types of heating.
When you select a type of heating, the appliance suggests a suitable temperature or setting. You can use these val-
ues or change them within the specified range.
Symbol Name Temperature Use
Steam 30-100°C For blanching and steaming:
¡Vegetables
¡Fish
¡Side dishes
Juicing fruit
Reheat 80-100°C Suitable for plated meals.
The Steam heating function gently warms cooked food.
The steam ensures that the food does not dry out.
Dough proving 30-50°C Suitable for yeast dough.
Yeast dough proves more quickly than at room temper-
ature. The surface of the dough will not dry out.
Defrost 30-60°C Suitable for fruit and vegetables.
The Steam heating function uses moisture to transfer the
heat to the food, gently warming it without impairing its
quality. The food will not dry out or lose its shape.
Sous-vide 50-95°C Cooking food in a vacuum at low temperatures between
50 and 95°C and in 100% steam: Suitable for meat,
fish, vegetables and desserts.
A vacuum-sealing machine is used to heat-seal the food
in special air-tight, heat-resistant cooking bags. The pro-
tective envelope retains the nutrients and flavours.

To cool the cooking compartment more quickly after
operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain
period afterwards.
You can specify how long the cooling fan should con-
tinue to run by going to the basic settings. →Page16
