]Causes of damage
Cau s e s of damage
Caution!
■ Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on
the cooking compartment floor: Do not place
accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do
not cover the cooking compartment floor with any
sort of foil or greaseproof paper. The cooking
compartment floor and the evaporator dish must
always be kept clear. A build-up of heat may
damage the appliance. Always place the cookware
in a perforated cooking container.
■ Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not
come into contact with the door panel. This could
cause permanent discolouration of the door panel.
■ Ovenware: Ovenware must be heat and steam
resistant.
■ Ovenware with areas of rust: Do not use any
ovenware which displays areas of rust. Even the
smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the
cooking compartment.
■ Dripping liquids: When steaming with a perforated
cooking container, always insert the baking tray, the
universal pan or the solid cooking container
underneath. Dripping liquid is caught.
■ Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an
extended period of time, moisture in the cooking
compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the
cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep
moist food in the closed cooking compartment for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
cooking compartment.
■ Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged. Always keep the seal clean. Never
operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or
missing. ~ "Cleaning" on page 19
■ Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not
sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything
on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on
the appliance door.
■ Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
model, accessories can scratch the door panel
when closing the appliance door. Always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment as far as
they will go.
■ Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle
cannot support the weight of the appliance and
could break.
■ Looking after the appliance: The cooking
compartment on your appliance is made of highquality stainless steel. Improper care may lead to
corrosion in the cooking compartment. Refer to the
care and cleaning instructions in the instruction
manual. Remove food residues from the cooking
compartment as soon as the appliance has cooled.
■ Hot water in the water tank: Hot water may damage
the steam system. Only fill the water tank with cold
water.

en Environmental protection
■ Descaling solution: Do not allow any descaling
solution to come into contact with the control panel
or other surfaces on the appliance. This damages
the surfaces. If this does happen, remove the
descaling solution immediately with water.
■ Cleaning the water tank: Do not clean the water tank
in the dishwasher. Otherwise, the water tank will be
damaged. Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and
standard washing-up liquid.

recipe or in the operating instructions table.
■ Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible
while the food is cooking.
■ When steaming, you can cook on several levels at
the same time. When preparing foods with different
cooking times, those with the longest cooking time
should be placed in the oven first.

Heating types
Your appliance has various heating types which can be
selected using the control panel.
Cooking compartment functions
The functions in the cooking compartment make your
appliance easier to use. This, for example, enables the
cooking compartment to be well lit and a cooling fan to
prevent the appliance from overheating.
Opening the appliance door
If you open the appliance door during an on-going
operation, the operation is paused. The operation
continues to run when you close the door.

Accessories en
Interior lighting
When you open the appliance door, the interior lighting
switches on. If the door remains open for longer than
around 15 minutes, the lighting switches off again.
For most operating modes, the interior lighting switches
on as soon as the operation is started. When the
operation has finished, the lighting switches off.
Note: You can set the interior lighting not to come on
during the operation in the basic settings. ~ "Basic
settings" on page 18
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The
hot air escapes above the door.
Caution!
Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the
appliance may overheat.
So that the cooking compartment cools down more
quickly after the operation, the cooling fan continues to
run for a certain period afterwards.
Note: You can change how long the cooling fan
continues to run in the basic settings. ~ "Basic
settings" on page 18

KBefore using for the first
time
Bef or e usi ng for the first time
Before you can use your new appliance, you must
make some settings. You must also clean the cooking
compartment and accessories.
Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, enquire
about the water hardness of your tap water from your
water supplier.
So that the appliance can reliably remind you to
decalcify it when required, you must correctly set your
water hardness range.
Caution!
The appliance may become damaged due to the use of
unsuitable liquids.
Do not use distilled water, highly chlorinated tap water
(> 40 mg/l) or other liquids.
Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or
uncarbonated mineral water.
Notes
■ If your water is very hard, we recommend that you
use softened water.
■ If you only use softened water, you can set the water
hardness range to "softened" in this case.
■ If you use mineral water, set the water hardness
range to "4 very hard".
■ If you use mineral water, you must only use non-
carbonated mineral water.

Calibrating the appliance and cleaning the
cooking compartment
The boiling point of water depends on the air pressure.
During calibration, the appliance sets itself to the
pressure ratio at the installation location. This occurs
automatically during the first steam operation. This
results in a lot of steam.
Preparing the calibration
1. Remove the accessories from the cooking
compartment.
2. Remove leftover packaging, such as polystyrene
pellets, from the cooking compartment.
3. Before calibrating the appliance, wipe the smooth
surfaces in the cooking compartment with a soft,
damp cloth.
Calibrating the appliance and cleaning the cooking
