The following accessories are supplied with your oven:

• Baking tray; to be used for pastries and cakes.

and baking moist pastry. It can also be used as a drip tray. Place

the deep baking tray into the first level for use as a drip tray during

grilling.

be placed on the oven rack.

The oven rack is equipped with a safety peg. Lift the rack slightly at

the front to slide it out of the oven.

YOUR OVEN

Guide rails

• Non-perforated steam dish; 40 mm deep (useful for collecting

moisture during steaming).

• Perforated steam dish; 40 mm deep (useful for steam setting).

▷ The steam dishes can be used simultaneously on two levels

(i.e. the non perforated steam dish on level 1 and the perforated

steam dish on level 2).

▷ For steaming you can place the ‘perforated steam dish’ in the

‘non-perforated steam dish’. These can only be used together

on a level with telescopic guiderails.

▷ Note: at the steamdishes, discolouration can occur at

temperatures above 180 °C! This will not influence proper

function of the oven.

• Culisensor; can be used to measure the core temperature of

the dish. When the desired temperature is reached, the cooking

process will be stopped automatically.

• The oven has four or five shelf levels, depending on the model.

Level 1 is mainly used in combination with bottom heat.

The upper two levels are used mainly for the grill function.

• Place the oven rack or baking tray in the gap between the guide

rail sliders.

Telescopic guide rail

One or two shelf levels have fully-retractable telescopic guide rails,

depending on the model.

• Pull the telescopic guide rails out of the oven cavity completely

and place the oven rack or baking tray. Then slide the oven rack or

baking tray, on the telescopic guide rails, back into the oven cavity.

Main functions

Only close the oven door once the telescopic guide rails are returned

completely back into the oven cavity.

• The door switches interrupt the operation of the steam oven when

the door is opened during use. The oven continues operating when

the door is closed.

• This oven has a ‘Soft close door system’. When closing the oven

door, this system dampens the movement, from a certain angle, and

silently closes the oven door.

The appliance is equipped with a cooling fan that cools the casing and

control panel.

With the function knob you can select the main functions of your oven.
