Safe and correct use of the steam oven
Leave the appliance at room temperature for
some time before connecting it to the power
mains to allow all components to adapt to
room temperature. If the oven is stored at a
temperature near or below freezing point,
there is a danger for some components,
especially the pumps.
The appliance should not operate in an
environment with a temperature below 5
°C. Below this temperature, the appliance
may not operate correctly. If the appliance
is switched on in such conditions, the pump
could be damaged.
If the appliance does not work correctly,
disconnect it from the power mains.
Do not store items in the oven, which could
cause danger when the oven is switched on.
Do not use distilled water that is not suitable
for ingestion (e.g. distilled water for batteries,
to which acid is added).
When you open the oven door (with steam
systems) after the end or during steam
cooking, make sure to open the door to the
fully open position; otherwise, the steam from
the oven cavity could negatively affect the
control panel operation.
After the steam cooking is completed, there
is some residual steam in the oven. Open
the oven door carefully, as there is danger of
scalding with steam. Clean the oven once it
has cooled down to room temperature.
After the cooking process, the remaining
water in the steam system is pumped back
into the water tank. Therefore, the water
there could be hot. Be careful when emptying
the water tank.
To prevent the build-up of limescale, leave
the oven door open after cooking to allow
the oven cavity to cool down to room
temperature.
It is inadvisable to open the door during
the steam cycle, as this will increase power
consumption and formation of water
condensate.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE
Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the
appliance. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect
connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the
warranty.

Safe use of the microwave oven
Metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper reflect microwaves. For that reason, do
not use metal cookware. Cookware which is designated as microwave-safe can be used safely.
For more information about suitable cookware, consult the following guidelines and always use
the glass baking tray on level 1 if you use the microwave function.

WIRE GUIDES
The wire guides allow preparation of the food on 4 levels (please note that the levels/
guides are counted from the bottom up).
Guides 3 and 4 are intended for grilling, and guide 1 is used with microwave systems when
food is prepared in a glass baking dish.
OVEN DOOR SWITCH
The switches deactivate oven heating, the fan, and the microwaves when the oven door
is opened during the cooking process. When the door is closed, the switches turn the
heaters and the microwaves back on.
COMBINED STEAM OVEN AND
MICROWAVE OVEN
(DESCRIPTION OF THE OVEN AND EQUIPMENT – DEPENDING ON
THE MODEL)
The figure represents one of the built-in appliance models. Since the appliances for which
these instructions were drawn up may have different equipment, some functions or
equipment may be described in the manual that may not be present in your appliances.

803704
OVEN EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES (depending on the model)
GLASS BAKING DISH is used for cooking
with all oven systems and for cooking with
microwaves. It can also be used as a serving
tray.
The GRID is used for grilling or as support
for a pan, baking tray or baking dish with
the food.
There is a safety latch on the grid.
Therefore, lift the grid slightly at the front
when pulling it out from the oven.
The SHALLOW BAKING SHEET is used for
baking pastry and cakes.
The DEEP BAKING TRAY is used for roasting
meat and baking moist pastry. It can also be
used as a drip tray.
Never place the deep baking tray in the
first guide during the cooking process, except
when grilling and you are only using the deep
tray as a drip tray.
Do not use the grid, deep baking tray, steam set or any other
metal parts with systems that include microwave operation!
COOLING FAN
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan that cools the housing and the appliance control
panel.
EXTENDED OPERATION OF THE COOLING FAN
After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a short while in
order to cool the oven. (Extended cooling fan operation depends on the temperature in
the center of the oven).

8
803704
As baking accessories heat up, their
form may change. This does not affect
their functionality and their original form
will be restored when they cool down.
STEAM SET (INOX) is used for steam
cooking. Place the perforated tray in the
middle level and the drip tray one level below.
The grid or the tray should always be
inserted into the groove between the two
wire profiles.
BAKING TRAY HOLDER makes it easier
to remove hot baking trays from the oven
after baking.
DESCALING AGENT or steam system

TEST PAPER STRIP for testing water
hardness.
The appliance and some of the accessible parts tend to heat up
during cooking. Use oven mitts.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Before the first use, remove all components, including any transport equipment, from the
oven. Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not
use any abrasive cleaners.
Before using the oven the first time, heat it without any food, in the system “upper
and bottom heater”, at the temperature of 200 °C for approximately one hour. The
characteristic smell of a “new appliance” will be emitted. Ventilate the room thoroughly
during the first use.
STEAM COOKING
Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the full flavour of foods. This cooking
method releases no odours.
Following are the advantages of steam cooking:
Cooking (braising, roasting) starts before the temperature inside the oven reaches 100°C.
Slow cooking (braising, roasting) is also possible at lower temperatures.
It is healthy: vitamins and minerals are well preserved because only a small share of them
is dissolved in the condensation water that touches the food.
There is no need to add any fat during the cooking process. The steam maintains the taste
of food. It does not add odours, nor the taste of the grill or the pan. Furthermore, it takes
nothing away because the food is not diluted in the water.
Steam does not spread the flavour or smell; therefore, meat or fish can be cooked
together with vegetables.
Steam is also suitable for blanching, defrosting and reheating or keeping the food warm.

13
803704
FILLING THE WATER TANK
The WATER TANK allows for independent water supply to the steam oven. The tank volume
amounts to approx. 1.3 litres (maximum water level – see marking). This amount of water
suffices for approximately 3 hours of cooking time with the longest steam cycle (hot air with
steam on "high" system).
Clean the water tank before the first use.
Always fill the water tank with clean and cool water from the
pipeline, bottled water without additives, or distilled water suitable
for use in cooking. Water poured into the water tank should be at a
temperature of 20°C(+/– 10°C).
1Press (on the spot with the sticker) to open the tank door.
The sticker can be removed later.
2Remove the water tank from the housing by pulling by the recessed part.
3Open the lid. Wash the tank with water. Re-assemble the tank. Before use, add
fresh water up to the MAX marking on the
tank.
4Push the water tank back into the housing to the final position (until you
hear a short click). Then, press the tank
door to close it.
After the cooking process, the
remaining water in the steam system is
pumped back into the water tank. The lid
and the water tank can be washed with
standard non-abrasive liquid cleaners or in
a dishwasher.

14
When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules begin to move rapidly, thereby
generating heat.
The microwaves penetrate approximately 2.5 centimeters deep into the food. If the food
is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in conventional cooking.
1
803704
MICROWAVE FUNCTION
Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting and defrosting food. They allow quick and
efficient cooking without changing the colour or shape of the food.
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. Such radiation is commonly found in
our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays. Their frequency
is in the 2450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
- They are reflected by metals.
- They travel through all other materials.
- They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.
Never use or activate a microwave system if the oven is empty.
