“You are
what you eat”
L. Feuerbach, German philosopher, 1804-1872
Feuerbach created this maxim in his conclusion to an
1850 work devoted to the theme of nutrition.
Naturally he was right. It is what we eat that makes us
what we are or what we will be in the near future. So it is
important for us to eat healthily.
It is not only how appetising dishes look that is very
important, but also the nutritious elements and vitamins
they contain.
We have developed the Plug&Cook Combi Oven
to enable you to satisfy these criteria with ease.
Have a good meal!

Safety instructions
Read these instructions carefully and put them in a safe place. They are designed to help you make optimum
use of your oven. You must in particular comply with the safety recommendations, which are indicated by an
exclamation mark
.Your appliancehas been designed to cook foodstuffs only and for no other purpose. It
complies with international safety standards. Nevertheless,the existing safety measures do not exclude the risk
of an accident.
Electrical safety
The oven must be connected to an earthed power socket
via a fuse with a minimum rating of 13 amps.Check that
the outlet cable and plug are in good condition before
connecting it.
If your oven displays any defect whatsoever, we
recommend that you do not use it.
Disconnect the appliance from the power socket or remove
the fuse or cut off the switch/breaker of the circuit to which
it is connected.
If you encounter operating problems, refer in priority to
the ‘‘Recommendations and tips”section of this document.
If the problem persists, contact our Technical Service. Do
not attempt to repair the appliance yourself, as this could
lead tomore problems.
Preventing toppling
Place the appliance on a flat surface.
Never rest a weight of more than 3 kg on the opened
oven door.
Children
The front of your oven gets hot during operation and
cleaning, therefore keep children away from it.
When the oven door is open:
· Do not place a heavy weight on it (3 kg maximum).
· Make sure that a child cannot climb or sit on top
of it, or pull the handle.
Utilization
Take care not to touch the oven surfaces or cooking
accessories with the bare hands when placing dishes in or
removing them from the oven, always wear ovengloves.
Do not place or stick anything on the external surfaces of
the appliance when the oven is operating or has just been
used.
Never leave the oven door open when the oven isstill hot,as
this risks damaging the controls.
If you have another electrical appliance near your oven
(e.g.an electric food mixer), make sure there is no risk of
its power cable coming into contact with a very hot surface
which could melt it,or of it being jammed in the oven door.
Take care not to catch your fingers in the door
if you release the handle while it is still open.
Before opening the doors, check that the water
tank is in its proper position.
Position of the oven
Make sure that no more
than two of the oven
surfaces are covered.
Cleaning
Before cleaning your oven by hand, make sure that the
internal surfaces are sufficiently cool.
We advise against using high-pressure steam
appliances to clean the oven (for reasons of
electrical safety).
You must never clean your oven with
a water hose.
You must never clean the water tank and its
lid in a dishwashing machine.

Cooking accessories
Apart from the cooking accessories provided with your oven, we recommend that you only use dishes and
cake tins that can withstand high temperatures (follow the manufacturers’ instructions).
Before using your oven for the first time
Initial cleaning
Remove the cooking accessories and wash them in
soapy water, then rinse and dry them thoroughly.
Switching the oven on for the first
time
Remove the plastic film protecting the outer
stainless steel surface of the oven.
Heat up the oven with nothing in it before using it for
the first time.When doing this, check that the room
is sufficiently aired by switching on the fan and opening
the window.
Do not worry if the water in the steam generator
boils strongly during this heating up process.

Functions and settings
Cooking functions
Max steam
The steam temperature is above98°C. This
rapid method of cooking featuring all the
necessary precautions is particularly sui-
ted to the majority of foodstuffs cooked
in water. The foodstuffs conserve their vitamins as
well as their shape and colour.This method is used
above all for vegetables and potatoes.
The food can be cooked just as well in the plain
containers as in the perforated containers.
Low steam
The steam temperature is about 85°C. Low
steam is a combination between high humidity
and precise temperature control. This method
protects the dishes while conserving their
mineral salts and vitamins, as well as their taste, form and
colour. Low steam means slow even cooking. Foodstuff
weight loss is kept to a minimum.This method of cooking
is ideal for fish and pâtés, warming up meat dishes, and
also for heating up “vacuumpacked” products.
Combi cooking
The steam temperature is about 85°C. Low
steam is a combination between high humidity
and precise temperature control. This method
protects the dishes while conserving their
mineral salts and vitamins, as well as their taste, form and
colour. Low steam means slow even cooking. Foodstuff
weight loss is kept to a minimum.This method of cooking
is ideal for fish and pâtés, warming up meat dishes, and
also for heating up “vacuumpacked” products.
Convection heat
This method is suitable for roasting. You
can also use it to cook fillets of fish and
meat, cutlets, pâtés, potato dishes, gratins,
cakes and biscuits.
Cooling function
This function is meant to be used when you want
to switch from one cooking process (Convection
heat or Combi) to another one at a much lower temperature (Low and Max steam).When you select this function
then only the fan will be on and not the heating elements.This
will enable the oven cavity temperature to cool down rapidly to
a suitable temperature for heat sensitive foods (vegetable or
fish). Make sure the ventilation control is set to the fully open
position. If you want to speed up this cooling process even more,
leave the door open while this function is selected.

Before each use
Choice of accessory
The choice of cooking accessory is of great importance for
successful cooking.The wrong cooking accessory can cause
irregular heat distribution within the preparation itself or
within the oven. Save your ovenproof glass dishes for
cooking gratins and soufflés.
Certain food preparations increase in volume during
cooking, in such cases choose containers that leaves the
top third free.
The thickness, heat conductivity and colour of the
receptacles affect cooking results.
Even distribution of the ingredients in
the cooking accessory
Distribute the ingredients evenly in the cooking
container.To ensure even cooking, it is important that the
hot air and steam should be able to circulate freely among
the ingredients.
Steam
You can cook in either the non-perforated or the perforated
cooking accessories.With fish dishes, you should use a nonperforated accessory in order to be able to use the fish
stock.When cooking vegetables and potatoes it is preferable
to use the perforated accessories.
We advise you to season your dishes before cooking and
to check the seasoning after cooking.
Small cooking dishes
When using small dishes such as gratin dishes, better results
are obtained if they are laid on a wire grid.
General recommendations
Always place food that spatters in the bottom of the oven.
Leave as little lard in the pan as possible to reduce spattering
and obtain a dish with less fat in it.
To save time and energy, take advantage of the hot oven to
cook other dishes.
If you find that your dish is too dark in colour, reduce the
temperature.
If you find that your dish is too light in colour, not well
enough cooked, or is cooking too slowly, increase the temperature.
Each time before use
The technology implemented in the Plug&Cook Combi
Oven gives you a vast range of possibilities. We are making
our latest innovation available to you. Your culinary success
depends essentially on the quality of the ingredients used!
You need to experiment to get the best results using the
possibilities and qualities offered by this appliance.
Below are a few instructions to be followed before
switching on the oven.
Verification
Check that all the parts are operational. Always fill the water
tank with water before cooking, except when in
“Convection heat” mode.
In “Combi” and “Convection heat” mode make sure that
the ventilation is open. Check that the door-locking latch
is properly engaged before starting cooking.
Preheating
It is sometimes necessary to preheat the oven before
cooking certain dishes (see the Cooking guide
and Recipes).
The oven heats up and as soon as it reaches the selected
temperature the preheating indicator light goes out and you
can put your dish into the oven.
