2. Safety instructions
● Packaged products must be cooked only in heat-resistant containers that have been approved for
food use.
●Do not store sensitive foods in the temperature range 10–70°C in the cooking chamber for pro
longed periods. Bacteria can multiply very rapidly at temperatures within this range.
●When using the start time selection function, please note: Bacteria can multiply very quickly in
food in the cooking chamber that has not been chilled or heated.
●Please observe the rules and regulations as set out by trade associations.
●Please follow the instructions for "Cleaning" in this document, see from page 62 , section 11.
DANGER! Comply with national work safety legislation to determine and assess ha
zards
● In Germany, for example, employers are required by law to assess the hazards for employees
when carrying out their work, and the health and safety measures that are necessary. A further
example is provided by the guidelines from the German trade association for operators of com
mercial kitchens.
●The employer must specify and supply employees with personal protective equipment.
WARNING! Risk of injury!
● During operation there is a risk of burns from the following:
−Hot surfaces
−Hot Gastronorm containers
−Hot cooked products
−Hot removable racks
−Hot drip trays
−Hot steam escaping when the cooking chamber door is opened
●Risk of burn injuries! Take care when opening the cooking chamber door – hot air and steam may
escape. Always open the cooking chamber door slowly and carefully. Wear waterproof and heat-
resistant protective gloves.
●During the heating-up process, steam in the cooking chamber can escape: as a result, do not
work in the cooking chamber during this process. Close the cooking chamber door before the
heating-up process.
●Risk of scalding! When removing liquid cooked products, spilled product can cause scald injuries.
Ensure that operating personnel have a clear view of the containers in the cooking chamber. The
appliance must be installed so that the height of the upper input module does not exceed 1.60
metres/63 inches.
●Remember that filled Gastronorm containers are heavy! Always work with proper back posture.
●Slip hazard! Remove water or food that has been spilt on the floor immediately.
●Crush hazard! Do not reach between the cooking chamber door and cooking chamber when
closing the cooking chamber door. Do not reach into the locking mechanism when locking the
cooking chamber door.

●The water softener lid must not be removed while the appliance is in use.
●The appliance must not be operated if the mains cable/mains plug is damaged. To avoid the risk
of electric shock, the mains cable/mains plug must be replaced by an authorised customer ser
vice technician or electrician.
●Do not continue to use the appliance if the control panel glass is damaged.
●Do not move appliances/platform trolleys on castors over uneven floors or over sills or protru
sions. Platform trolleys and appliances on castors can tip over when moved across uneven floors
or over door sills!
●For appliances on castors, the manoeuvrability of the appliance must be restricted enough to pre
vent any damage to its supply and waste lines. Secure the appliance again with the safety chain
after transportation (see installation instructions).
●As an appliance operator, make sure you know where the circuit breaker is located in the building
for the appliances you are operating. This means you can shut down the appliance safely in the
event of fire or damage.
IMPORTANT! Risk of damage!
● Do not heat permanently sealed containers such as cans of food. The sealed containers or cans
could explode.
●To avoid corrosion damage to the appliance, do not place any salted food or liquids into the coo
king chamber. Also see the information about adding salt to dishes on page 13 , section 4.3.
●The ambient temperature at the installation site must not fall below freezing. Otherwise, water in
the pipes and components will freeze, and this will damage the appliance. Contact the authorised
Customer Service if water-bearing components need to be drained.
●Do not spray or clean the appliance with water hoses, pressure washers, high-pressure steam
cleaners or steam cleaners.
●Do not spray foam cleaner onto front panels or appliance enclosures. Foam cleaner seeps into
the appliance, where it can then destroy components.
●If the appliance has not been used for some time,have it inspected by the authorised Customer
Serviceto ensure it is working properly.
●If you are unable to remedy faults by using the information on page 68 , section 13. “Troubleshoo

3. Description of the appliance
● Cooking times can be set in increments of one second/minute. This ensures you achieve the best
cooking results.
●Dishes can be cooked to a precise temperature, with or without pressure. When the cooker is
pressurised, temperatures exceeding 100°C are used for cooking. This considerably reduces
cooking times, saving you time and energy. Vegetables retain their natural colours.
●Hot steam is fed into the cooking chamber according to the various operating modes and settings
made by the operator. The higher the cooking chamber temperature, the higher the chamber
pressure. The higher the cooking chamber pressure, the faster cooking completes.
●The cooking chamber door is locked during cooking methods that use a pressurised cooking
chamber. The cooking chamber door cannot be opened until the chamber is no longer pressu
rised.
●Settings are made via the touch screen.
●The control system is used to automate the cooking methods.
●The pressure steamer is equipped with a water softener. The water softener is filled at the factory
with 0.5 kg of regeneration salt. To regenerate the water softener, see page 65 , section 12..
