Fire Safety

Read and save these instructions.

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line
any part of an appliance, especially surface unit
drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

If materials inside an oven or warming drawer
should ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the
appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit
breaker box.

Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. For example, never use
the appliance for warming or heating the room.
Never use the appliance for storage.

Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches
fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease
fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking
fires.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
oven.

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating

elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Among these surfaces are oven vent openings,
surfaces near these openings and oven doors.

Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer)
slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam
escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and
make sure there are no children or pets near the
unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam,
proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless
necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not
leave open doors unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers.
Build-up of pressure may cause the container to
burst and cause injury.

Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is
hot, do not let potholder contact the heating
elements.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the
parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are
instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or
hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can
damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over,
potentially causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.

CAUTION – Items of interest to children should not
be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an
appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing
on an appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.

Safety while Baking and Steaming

CAUTION – Hot steam can escape during use. Do

not touch the ventilation openings.

Avoiding Damage to the Oven
Interior

The interior of your new steam oven is made out of
high grade stainless steel. However, lack of care
and maintenance might cause corrosion.

Observe the following tips to avoid corrosion in the
oven. No warranty claims can be lodged for any
damage resulting from non compliance with these
notes.

•

Clean the oven interior after it has cooled
down. After cleaning, use the drying function to
dry the oven interior.

•

Aggressive cleaners may cause corrosion. Only
use hot soapy water to clean the oven interior.
Use the cleaning function.

•

Do not use oven cleaner or caustic cleaners.
Do not use cleaners containing chloride.

•

Salt in the oven reacts aggressively. Salt
residues on the oven interior may cause spots
of corrosion. Always remove residues
immediately.

•

Spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup, mustard) and
salted food (e.g. salted roasts) contain chloride
and acids. These act aggressively on stainless
steel. Always clean the oven interior after use.

•

Only use original accessories in the oven
interior. Rusting materials (e.g. serving plates,
cutlery) may cause corrosion of the oven
interior.

•

Only use original small parts (e.g. knurled
nuts). Order small parts from our after-sales
service, should you loose any.

Cooking Table

Important Notes

•

Always preheat the oven. This will guarantee the
best results.

•

The cooking times given here are for a
preheated oven. Add about 5 minutes to the
cooking time if the oven has not been preheated.

•

Only open the oven door for a short time and
quickly put the food in.

•

If you use only one level, place the cooking
insert on the second level from the bottom.

•

When using the perforated cooking insert or the
wire rack, place the unperforated cooking insert
on the level below to avoid the bottom of the oven
interior and the evaporating dish becoming soiled.

•

You can use simultaneously up to three levels
(level 2, 3 and 4 from the bottom) for steaming,
defrosting and regenerating. You can cook
different dishes simultaneously without flavour
transfer.

•

You can only use one level for baking. Use level
1 or 2 from the bottom depending on the cakes
or pastries (see baking table).

•

The cooking times given are only a
recommendation. The effective cooking time
depends on the quality of the food, the amount
and the size of the food.

•

Add to the cooking time for larger amounts than
those stated in the cooking table.

•

Food being cooked must not come into contact
with the oven compartment, grease filter or side
plate.

•

The steam oven door must seal well. Always
keep the door seal clean.

•

Do not place too much food on the wire rack or
the cooking insert. This will ensure optimum
circulation of the air.

•

Always leave the grease filter in place during
use.

Tips

– Take the meat from the fridge one hour before cooking.

– Briefly sear the meat (not boiled fillet of beef) from all sides in a hot pan on the hob. Note: longer searing will

shorten the cooking time in the oven.

– Put fish in the steam oven without searing it.

– You can also use the meat probe. Refer to the chapter “Meat Probe” for tips on using the meat probe and the

temperature table for the different meats. Please note that the core temperature of the food will always stay
below the set temperature in the oven.

– You can reduce the temperature to 140°F towards the end of the cooking time (for example if your guests arrive

late).

– Serve on warmed dishes.

– 30% moisture means “Cooking in own moisture”. With this setting no additional steam is added, but the air flap

remains closed. Thus, the natural moisture of the food remains in the oven and prevents the food from drying
out.

Tips

– Important! Always insert an unperforated cooking insert one level below the food. Pour out the defrosting liquid

of meat and poultry. Rinse with plenty of water. Clean the cooking insert in hot soapy water or in the
dishwasher.

– The defrosting time depends on the size, weight and shape of the frozen food. Always freeze your food flat or in

single pieces, this shortens the defrosting time.

– Only defrost the amount that you will need to prepare.

– Please observe: defrosted food might not keep and will deteriorate more quickly than fresh food. Immediately

prepare defrosted food and cook it thoroughly.

– Defrosting poultry: take the poultry out of the packaging.

Fresh yogurt (in closed jars) wire rack 110 80 240 - 360

Tips

– Heat milk (not long-life milk) on the hob to 190°F to avoid disturbing the yogurt bacteria.

– Important! Cool the milk in a bain-marie until it reaches 100°F to avoid destroying the yogurt bacteria.

– Stir natural yogurt (without fruit) into the milk (1-2 teaspoons for every 1/2 cup).

– Pour the yogurt into clean jars.

– Disinfect the clean yogurt jars in the oven for 15 minutes at 210°F before filling them with yogurt.

– In the case of yogurt ferment, pay attention to the notes on the packet (note: the time needed for maturity will be

lengthened if you use cold milk to produce the yogurt).

– On completion, place the yogurt in the fridge.

– Add skimmed milk powder to the milk before heating it (1-2 tablespoons per 4 cups) to get a more solid yogurt.

Energy Saving Tips

•

The oven heats up very quickly. This means it is
time and energy efficient.

•

When possible, try to cook different foods at
the same time. This will ensure an even load on
your appliance and will save you time and
energy.

•

You can often use several levels at once (only
for steaming up to 210°F, not for baking).

•

Avoid opening the steam oven door frequently
and for prolonged periods. Otherwise, steam
and heat can escape and then has to be
generated again. This involves a large loss of
energy and prolongs the cooking time.
