GENERAL
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!
CAREFUL
FOOD & ALCOHOL. Be extra careful when cook-
ing or reheating food that contains alcohol. If
you are adding alcohol (e.g. rum, cognac, wine
etc.) Remember that alcohol evaporates easi-
ly at high temperatures. You should therefore
bear in mind that the vapors released can ig-
nite when they come in contact with the elec-
trical heating element. If possible you should
refrain from using alcohol in this oven.
AFTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids
in a baby bottle or in a baby
food jar, always stir and check
the temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed
and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
DONOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.
FRUIT JUICE DRIPPINGS may leave permanent
stains. Let the oven cool and clean before next
use.
LET THE OVEN COOL OFF before cleaning. The water
in the bottom recess is hot after cooking.
KEEP THE DOOR SEAL SURFACES CLEAN. The oven door
must shut properly.
WIPE OFF ANY RESIDUAL CONDENSATION that may
be present in the cooled oven after cooking.
Don’t forget the cavity ceiling which is easily
overlooked. Some foods require a completely
dry oven for best result.
ENSURE ONLY WATER is used in the water contain-
er. No other liquids are allowed.
NEVER PULL OUT fully loaded shelves. Use ex-
treme caution.
OPEN THE OVEN DOOR CAREFULLY !
HOT STEAM MAY ESCAPE QUICKLY.
USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent burns,
when touching containers, oven parts, and
pan after cooking.

ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
THERE ARE a number of accessories available on
the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for cooking with steam.
ENSURE THAT THERE IS a space of at least 30 mm
between the upper rim of the container and
the cavity ceiling to allow sufficient steam en-
trance to the container.
STEAM TRAY
USE THE STEAM TRAY for foods such as fish, vege-
tables and potatoes.
USE THE OVEN WITH-
OUT THE STEAM TRAY
for foods such as rice, and
grains.
DRIP TRAY
The Drip tray is used to collect the dripping
juices and food par-
ticles that otherwise
would stain and soil
the interior of the
oven.
Avoid placing vessels directly on the oven bot-
tom.
WATER CONTAINER
THE WATER CONTAINER IS LOCATED behind the
door and is accessible as soon as the door is
opened.
ALL COOKING FUNCTIONS re-
quire the water container
to be full.
FILL WATER CONTAINER to the
“MAX” mark with tap water.
USE ONLY fresh tap water or
still bottled water. Never use
distilled or filtered water nor any
other liquids in the water container.
ITIS IMPORTANT TO EMPTY THE WATER CONTAINER AFTER
EACH USE. This is for hygienic reasons. It also pre-
vents condensate from building up inside the
appliance.
CAREFULLY (slowly not to spill) pull the water
container out of it’s compartment. Keep it hor-
izontal to allow remaining water to drain out of
the valve seat.
CHOOSING COOKING CONTAINER
USE PERFORATED COOKING containers whenev-
er possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The
steam has free access to the food from all sides
and the food is cooked evenly.
STEAM EASILY REACHES into the space between big
pieces of food such as large potatoes. This en-
sures even and effective cooking. It enables
a large quantity to finish in the same amount
of time as a smaller quantity. Placing (spacing)
food to allow the steam even and easy access
to individual pieces of food enables it to be
cooked in the same amount of time as small-
er quantities.
MORE COMPACT DISHES such as casseroles or
bakes, or food such as peas or asparagus
spears, which have very small / no space be-
tween them will take longer to cook because
the steam has less space to work in.
SPONGE
THE SUPPLIED SPONGE is used for
wiping off residual condensa-
tion that may be present in the
cooled oven after cooking. It
is important that you allow the oven to cool off
to avoid scalding.
