Causes of damage
Caution!
■ Do not place anything on the cooking compartment floor. Do
not cover it with aluminium foil. A build-up of heat could
damage the appliance.
The cooking compartment floor and the evaporator dish must
always be kept clear. Always place ovenware in a perforated
cooking container or on a wire rack.
■ 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 must be heat and steam resistant.
■ Do not use ovenware that shows signs of rust. Even the
smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the cooking
compartment.
■ When steaming with a perforated cooking container, always
insert the baking tray or the solid cooking container
underneath. Dripping liquid is caught.
■ Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment
for long periods. It can lead to corrosion in the cooking
compartment.
■ If the door 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 door seal clean and
replace when necessary.
■ Do not place anything on the open appliance door. The
appliance could be damaged.
■ Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The
door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance, and
could break.
■ The cooking compartment in your appliance is made of high
grade stainless steel. Improper care can 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.

Operating modes
You can use the operating mode selector to set your appliance
for various different applications.
Automatic calibration
The boiling temperature of water depends on the air pressure.
During calibration, the appliance is adapted to the pressure
conditions in the location where it is installed. This happens
automatically when you first use the appliance (see section:
First use). More steam develops than usual.
It is important that the appliance steams without interruption for
20 minutes at 100 °C. Do not open the appliance door during
this time.
If the appliance was not able to calibrate itself automatically (for
example, because the appliance door was opened), the
calibration process is carried out again during the next cooking
operation.
After moving house
So that the appliance automatically adjusts itself to its new
location, you must reset the appliance to the factory settings
(see section: Basic settings) and repeat the initial start-up
process (see section: First use).
After a power cut
The appliance saves the calibration settings even in the event
of a power cut or disconnection from the mains. Recalibration
is not necessary.
Your accessories
The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for
making many dishes. Ensure that you always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
Accessories
Use only the accessories supplied with the product or available
from the after-sales service. They are specially designed for
your appliance.
Your appliance is equipped with the following accessories:
You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from
specialist retailers or online.
Inserting accessories
The accessories are equipped with a locking function. The
locking function prevents the accessories from tilting when they
are pulled out. The accessories must be inserted into the
cooking compartment correctly for the tilt protection to work
properly.
Note: Your appliance will include different accessories,
depending on the appliance equipment.
When inserting the cooking container, ensure that the lug (a) is
facing downwards.
When inserting the wire rack, check
■ that the lug (a) is pointing downwards
■ that the safety lug on the wire rack is at the back and facing
upwards.
