or shut off power at the fuse or circuit break-
er panel.
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

have been given, so that the child is able to use
the appliance in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.
THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, unless used under
the supervision of a person responsible for their
safety.
WARNING!
ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT during use, young
children should be kept away.
DONOT USE corrosive chemicals or vapors in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically de-
signed to heat or cook food. It is not designed
for industrial or laboratory use.
NEVER PUT OR DRAG utensils across the bottom of
the oven as this could scratch the surface. Al-
ways put utensils on the wire shelf or trays.
DONOT HANG OR PLACE heavy items on the door
as this can damage the oven opening and
hinges. The door handle should not be used
for hanging things on.
THE DOOR SEALS AND THE DOOR SEAL AREAS must be
regularly inspected for damage. If these areas
are damaged the appliance should not be op-
erated until it has been repaired by a trained
service technician
BEFORE FIRST USE
OPEN THE DOOR, remove the accessories
and ensure the oven is empty
RINSE THE WATER CONTAINER with tap wa-
ter (no detergents) and then fill it to the
“MAX” mark.
SLIDE THE WATER CONTAINER into it’s socket
until it engages the contact point and sits
firmly in place.
DONOT USE this appliance as a room heater or
humidifier.
RUN THE CALIBRATION FUNCTION and follow on
screen instructions.
NOTE
THE WATERPUMP responsible for filling and drain-
ing the steam boiler is now activated. It will
initially sound louder during airpumping and
lower when water is filling the pump again.
THIS IS NORMAL and no concern for alarm.
AFTER CALIBRATION, let the oven cool to room
temperature and then wipe dry any damp ar-
eas if present.
EMPTY THE WATER CONTAINER and dry it off before
further use.

PUSH  PUSH KNOBS
THE KNOBS OF THIS OVEN are aligned
with the buttons on the
panel, at delivery.
The knobs will slide out if pushed
and their various functions can
be accessed. It is not necessary
to have them petruding from the
panel during operation.
Simply push them back into the
panel when you are done with the
setting and continue to operate the oven.
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.
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.
BAKING & DRIP TRAY
USE THE BAKING & DRIP
TRAY beneath the Wire
Shelf and Steam tray. It
may also be used as a
cooking utensil or as a baking tray.
THE BAKING & DRIP TRAY is used to collect the
dripping juices and food particles that other-
wise would stain and soil the interior of the
oven.
Avoid placing vessels directly on the oven bot-
tom.
WIRE SHELF
THE WIRE SHELF allows hot air circulation around
the food. Put food directly on
it or use it as support for
pots, cake tins and oth-
er cooking receptacles.
When you put food directly on the Wire
shelf, place the Baking & Drip tray under it.

CALIBRATION
THE BOILING TEMPERATURE OF WATER is air pressure dependent. It boils
easier at high altitudes than at sea level.
DURING THE CALIBRATION the appliance is automatically configured to
the current pressure ratios at the present location. This may cause
more steam than usual - It is normal.
AFTER CALIBRATION
LET THE OVEN COOL OFF and wipe dry the damp parts.
RECALIBRATION
USUALLY the calibration is carried out once and should be enough if
the oven is permanently installed in a house.
HOWEVER, if you have installed your appliance in a mobile home or
similar, moved to another town or in any other way altered the alti-
tude where it is installed, it must be recalibrated before use.
BEFORE USING THIS FUNCTION,
ENSURE the water container is filled with fresh tap water.
