2.3 Other parts
Shelves
The appliance features shelves to position
trays and racks at different heights. The
insertion heights are indicated from the
bottom upwards (see 2.1 General
Description).
Cooling fan
The fan cools the oven and comes into
operation during cooking.
The fan causes a steady outflow of air from
above the door which may continue for a
brief period of time even after the appliance
has been turned off.
Interior lighting
The appliance’s interior lighting comes on:
• When the door is opened.
• When any function is selected, with the
exception of the Descaling ,
Sabbath and Vapor Clean
functions;
• Turning the return knob to the right or left
when no function is selected (turn the
temperature knob to the right or left
again to switch off the internal lighting).
In order to save energy, the light turns off
after a minute at the start of cooking (this
function can be deactivated via the
secondary menu).
2.4 Available accessories
Perforated tray
Useful for steaming fish and vegetables.
Tray
Useful when cooking cakes (with cooking
times of less than 25 minutes or without
steam), rice, beans and cereals. It is also
essential for collecting liquids produced by
steaming or defrosting foods contained in
the perforated tray above.
When the door is open, it is not
possible to turn off the interior
lighting.

Description
10
Rack
Useful for supporting containers with food
during cooking.
Evaporation tray cover
Evenly distributes steam inside the oven.
Sponge
Useful for removing condensation and the
remaining water from the oven.
2.5 Other cooking containers
• You may also use your own containers
for cooking, as long as they are resistant
to high temperatures.
• For steam cooking, the use of metal
containers is recommended. Metal
facilitates better distribution of heat to the
foods.
• It is normal for metal containers to
deform somewhat during high-
temperature cooking, but they will return
to their original shape when they cool.
• Thick ceramic plates may require more
heat than normal. Longer cooking times
may be necessary.
Some models are not provided
with all accessories.

cooking time, wait a few seconds.
A request to fill the reservoir with water is
shown on the display.
Filling the reservoir
14. Fill a container (e.g. a jug) with sufficient
water for the cooking duration.
15. Open the oven door.
16. Rest the container on the open door.
• Use cold tap water which is not
too hard, softened water or still
mineral water.
• Do not use distilled water, tap
water with a high chloride
content (> 40 mg/l), or other
liquids.
Note: the container with the water
must have a gross weight lower
than 5 kg.

17. Extract the tube from its seat and
immerse its end in the container until it
reaches all the way to the bottom.
18. Press the control knob to start filling the
appliance’s reservoir with water.
19. When finished, the display indicates
that you can start to use the steam
function.
20. Shake the tube in order to remove any
remaining water.
The appliance will automatically
draw the quantity of water
necessary for cooking on the basis
of the set duration.
In the event that the water runs out,
the appliance will automatically
stop the cooking process, a
buzzer will sound and the display
will show a request to fill the
reservoir with water.

21. Return the tube to its original position,
remove the container of water and close
the door.
22. Press the control knob to start the steam
function.
Preheating stage
Steaming is always preceded by a
preheating stage, which allows the
appliance to heat up to cooking
temperature.
This stage is indicated by a progressive
increase in the temperature level reached.
At the end of preheating the temperature
reaches the maximum set level.
When the door is closed, an
automatic system will automatically
draw in any residual water in the
tube to avoid drips.
If programmed cooking has been
set (in our example ending at
13:30), cooking will start at a time
according to the set parameters.
Cooking can be interrupted at any
time by pressing and holding the
control knob for a few seconds.
Each time the door is opened, the
function in progress will stop and
then automatically restart when the
door is closed again.
If cooking has just been performed
with temperatures greater than
100°C, you must wait for the oven
to cool in order to use the steam
function.

Use

A buzzer sounds to indicate that cooking
starts automatically.
Modifying the set data
During operation, it is possible to modify the
cooking duration:
23. When the appliance is cooking, press
the control knob.
24. Turn the control knob right or left to alter
the preset cooking time.
Modifying programmed cooking
25. When the appliance is waiting to start
cooking, press the control knob. The
timed cooking indicator light will
start flashing.
26. Turn the control knob right or left to alter
the preset cooking time.
27. Press the control knob again. The timed
cooking indicator light switches off
and the programmed cooking indicator
light starts flashing. The display
shows the end of cooking time.
28. Turn the control knob to the right or left
to delay the end of cooking time.
29. After a few seconds the timed
cooking and programmed
cooking indicator lights stop flashing
and programmed cooking restarts with
the new settings.
If a longer length of time is set
compared to the previous one,
such that the quantity of water in
the reservoir is insufficient, when
the reservoir is empty, the display
will show a message indicating
that water should be added.
If programmed cooking is set, after
modifying the cooking time, the
end of cooking time must be re-set.

End of the steam function
At the end of the cooking cycle, “steam
function ended” appears on the display
and a buzzer sounds that can be
deactivated by pressing the control knob.
30. Stand to the side of the appliance and
open the door ajar for a few seconds to
allow excess steam to escape.
31. Fully open the door when safe to do so
and cautiously remove the food from the
oven.
Removing the residual water
At the end of steaming, the appliance
prompts for the water to be emptied from
the reservoir.
32. Remove the cover from the evaporation
tray and dry it with the sponge supplied.
To select another cooking cycle,
turn the control knob to the right or
the left.
It is recommended to empty the
reservoir after each cooking
cycle in order to prevent residue
build up.
Note: The evaporation tray cover
may be very hot: use appropriate
protection.

Use

33. We recommend positioning the
supplied sponge inside the evaporation
tray.
34. Press the control knob to start emptying
the remaining water from the reservoir.
The residual water is discharged into the
evaporation tray: as well as facilitating
removal, this contributes to cooling down
the oven more quickly.
If the remaining quantity of water is over
500 ml, the water will be discharged into
the evaporation tray in two different steps to
facilitate drying. The display indicates “STEP 1”,
when the first stage has finished, and
draining will stop. You have to press the
control knob again to complete the draining
with “STEP 2”.
When finished, “reservoir emptying ended”
appears on the display.
35. Press the control knob to confirm.
36. Squeeze out the water from the sponge
into a separate container.
37. Also remove condensation from the
base and walls of the oven, the door
glass and drip tray and the front of the
appliance.
If you do not wish to empty the
reservoir, keep the control knob
pressed down for a few seconds.
Take care: the water may be very
hot.
