The rating plate indicating the basic information about the appliance is located at the edge of the oven and it is visible when the oven door is opened.

WIRE GUIDES

The wire guides allow preparation of the food on 5 levels (please note that the levels/guides are counted from the bottom up). Guides 4 and 5 are intended for grilling.

The DEEP BAKING TRAY is used for roasting meat and baking moist pastry. It can also be used as a drip tray.

TELESCOPIC GUIDES

Telescopic pull-out guides may be ﬁ tted for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level. There are several diﬀ erent designs of the pull-out guides (depending on the model): three partially extendible, one fully and two partially extendible, and three fully extendible guides.

OVEN DOOR SWITCH

The switches deactivate oven heating and the fan when the oven door is opened during the cooking process. When the door is closed, the switches turn the heaters back on.

COOLING FAN

The appliance is ﬁ tted with a cooling fan that cools the housing and the appliance control panel.

EXTENDED OPERATION OF THE COOLING FAN

After the oven is switched oﬀ , the cooling fan continues to operate for a short while in order to cool the oven. (Extended cooling fan operation depends on the temperature in the center of the oven).

Never place the deep baking tray in the ﬁ rst guide during the cooking process, except when grilling food or using the roasting spit and you are only using the deep tray as a drip tray.

PERFORATED DEEP TRAY is used for cooking vegetables, potatoes, ﬁ sh or meat. The tray prevents contact between the food and condensate collected in the deep tray.

When using the perforated tray, always place the deep tray underneath it. This combination is only used for steam cooking on the 2nd guide.

The grid or the tray should always be inserted into the groove between the two wire proﬁ les.

OVEN EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES

GLASS BAKING DISH is used for cooking with all oven

systems. It can also be used as a serving tray.

The GRID is used for grilling or as support for a pan, baking tray or baking dish with the food.

There is a safety latch on the grid. Therefore, the grid has to be lifted slightly at the front when pulling it out from the oven.

The SHALLOW BAKING SHEET is used for baking pastry and cakes.

With telescopic extendible guides, ﬁ rst pull out the guides of one level and place the grid or the baking tray onto them. Then, push them in with your hand as far as they will go.

Close the oven door when the telescopic guides are retracted all the way into the oven.

The appliance and some of the accessible parts tend to heat up during cooking. Use oven mitts.

Only use the temperature probe recommended for use in this oven.

WARNING: Before replacing the light bulb, make sure the appliance has been disconnected from the power mains, in order to prevent the hazard of an electric shock.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven as they may damage the ﬁ nish or the protective enamel coating. Such damages may lead to cracking of the glass.

Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners to clean the appliance as this may result in an electric shock. The appliance is not intended to be controlled with external timers or special control systems.

The appliance is intended for household use. Do not use it for any other purpose, such as room heating, drying of pets or other animals, paper, fabrics, herbs etc. as this may lead to injury or ﬁ re hazard.

The appliance may only be connected to the power mains by an authorized service technician or expert. Tampering with the appliance or non-professional repair thereof may result in risk of severe injury or damage to the product.

If the power cords of other appliances located near this appliance are caught in the oven door, they may be damaged, which may in turn result in a short circuit. Therefore, keep the power cords of other appliances at a safe distance.

If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized service technician, in order to avoid hazard.

Do not line the oven walls with aluminium foil and do not place baking trays or other cookware on the oven bottom. Aluminium foil would prevent air circulation in the oven, hinder the cooking process, and ruin the enamel coating. Oven door become very hot during operation.

Safe and correct use of the steam oven

Leave the appliance at room temperature for some time before connecting it to the power mains to allow all components to adapt to room temperature. If the oven is stored at a temperature near or below freezing point, there is a danger for some components, especially the pumps.

The appliance should not operate in an environment with a temperature below 5 °C. Below this temperature, the water that remains in the pumps could freeze. If the appliance is turned on in such conditions, the pumps could be damaged.

If the appliance does not work correctly, disconnect it from the power mains.

Do not store items in the oven, which could cause danger when the oven is switched on. Do not use distilled water that is not suitable for ingestion.

After the steam cooking is completed, there is some residual steam in the oven. Open the oven door carefully, as there is danger of scalding with steam.

Clean the oven once it has cooled down to room temperature.

After the cooking process, the remaining water in the steam system is pumped back into the water tank. Therefore, the water there could be hot. Be careful when emptying the water tank.

To prevent the build-up of limescale, leave the oven door open after cooking to allow the oven cavity to cool down to room temperature.

BEFORE CONNECTING THE OVEN:

Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the appliance. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the warranty.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

After receiving the appliance remove all parts, including any transport equipment (cardboard and polystyrene inserts), from the oven. Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. When the oven heats up for the ﬁ rst time, the characteristic smell of a new appliance will be emitted. Ventilate the room thoroughly during the ﬁ rst use.

STEAM COOKING

Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the full ﬂ avour of foods. This cooking method releases no odours. There is no need to add salt to the water or to add herbs and spices.

Following are the advantages of steam cooking:

Cooking (braising, roasting) starts before the temperature inside the oven reaches 100 °C. Slow cooking (braising, roasting) is also possible at lower temperatures.It is healthy: vitamins and minerals are well preserved because only a small share of them is dissolved in the condensation water that touches the food. There is no need to add any fat during the cooking process. The steam maintains the taste of food. It does not add odours, nor the taste of the grill or the pan. Furthermore, it takes nothing away because the food is not diluted in the water. Steam does not spread the ﬂ avour or smell; therefore, meat or ﬁ sh can be cooked together with vegetables. Steam is also suitable for blanching, defrosting and reheating or keeping the food warm.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

MAX

klik

The tank allows for independent water supply to the steamer. The tank volume amounts to approx. 1.2 litres (maximum water level – see marking).

Clean the water tank before the ﬁ rst use.

Always ﬁ ll the water tank with clean and cool water from the pipeline, bottled water without additives, or distilled water suitable for use in cooking. Water that is poured into the water tank should be at a temperature of 20 °C +/- 10 °C.

Apply pressure to open the water tank door.

Remove the water tank from the housing by grabbing the notch.

Open the water tank cover and wash it with water. Before use, add fresh water up to the MAX marking

on the tank.

Push the water tank back into the housing to the position in which the position switch is activated.

Then, press the tank door to close it.

After the cooking process, the remaining water in the steam system is pumped back into the water tank. Empty, clean, and dry the water tank. Add fresh water to the tank before next use.
