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.

grammes"

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:

Cooking container, solid, GN Z, 40 mm deep

For catching dripping liquid when steaming and for cooking rice, pulses and cereals

CookingZ container, perforated, GN , 40 mm deep

for the steaming of whole fish or large quantities of vegetables, for juicing berries, etc.

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.
