9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

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

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,

cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be

burned.

c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths

or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

‒ You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,

and you already know how to operate it.

‒ The fire is small and contained in the area

where it started.

‒ The fire department is being called.
‒ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors
unattended.

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

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

CAUTION

To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance,
ensure rack is installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or upside down.

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.

WARNING

Scalding hazard

Movement when opening the appliance door and when
removing the cookware can cause hot liquid to spray
out. Do not stand too close to the appliance when
opening it. Open appliance door carefully. Remove
cookware carefully. Keep children away.

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.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in
the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods,
and open the oven door carefully.

WARNING

Risk of scalding

Hot liquid may spill over the sides of cooking
accessories when they are removed from the cooking
compartment. Carefully remove cooking accessories
with oven mitts.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Risk of scalding

Hot steam can escape when you open the appliance
door. Steam is not visible at certain temperatures. Do
not stand too close to the appliance when opening it.
Open the appliance door with caution. Keep children
away.

WARNING

Risk of burns

Hot steam can leak during operation. Do not touch the
ventilation openings. Keep children away.

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.

Cleaning Safety

Risk of severe burns! Do not clean the appliance
immediately after turning it off. The water in the
evaporator dish is still hot. Wait until the appliance
has cooled down.

Keep oven free from grease build up.

WARNING

Risk of injury

Scratched glass in the appliance door can burst. Do
not use any glass scrapers or strong or abrasive
cleaning agents.

WARNING

Risk of electrical shock

Moisture entering the appliance can cause an
electrical shock. Don't use a high-pressure cleaner or
steam cleaner.

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.

Cookware Safety

Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using
cooking or roasting bags.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock

Use of a wrong core temperature probe can damage
the insulation. Use only the core temperature probe
intended for this appliance.

Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone
baking pans are not suitable for Combination mode.

When using Steam mode with a perforated cooking
pan, always slide the baking pan underneath it. The
pan will catch any drippings.

The oven bottom and the evaporator dish must always
remain clear. Always place ovenware on the rack or in
the perforated cooking pan.

Causes of damage

NOTICES:

▯ Do not place anything directly on the oven floor.

Do not line it with aluminum foil. Heat build-up
can damage the appliance.

▯ The oven bottom should always remain clear.

Always place dishes in a perforated baking pan or
on a rack.

▯ We recommend you install a descaling system for

hard mains water. You can inquire with your
waterworks to obtain information about your
mains water.

▯ Aluminum foil may not contact the door pane in

the oven. This can cause permanent discoloration
of the door pane.

▯ Dishes must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone

baking dishes are not suited for combination
operation with steam.

▯ Use only original accessories in the oven interior.

Rusting material (such as serving platters or
knives and forks) can cause corrosion in the oven
interior.

▯ Use original small parts (e.g. knurled nuts) only.

Reorder small parts through out spare parts
service if these should be lost..

▯ When steaming with a perforated baking dish,

always push the baking sheet or the unperforated
baking dish beneath it. This will catch drippings.

▯ Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for

an extended period of time. It can lead to
corrosion inside the oven.

▯ Salt, spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup or mustard) or

salted dishes (e.g. cured roast) contain chlorides
and acids. These corrode the surfaces of
stainless steel. Always remove residues
immediately.

▯ Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always

remove fruit juice immediately and wipe up first
with a damp and then a dry cloth.

▯ Your appliance's oven interior consists of high-

grade stainless steel. Corrosion can occur in the
oven interior if it is not cared for properly.
Observe the care and cleaning notes in the
operating instructions. After every use, clean the
oven interior straight after the appliance has
cooled down. After cleaning, dry the oven interior
with the drying program.

▯ Do not detach the door seal. The appliance door

will no longer close properly if the door seal is
damaged. Adjoining furniture frontages may be
damaged. Have the door seal replaced.

▯ Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door

handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight
of the device and could break off.

Environmental protection

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
line with environmental requirements.

Tips for saving energy

▯ Open the appliance door as little as possible

while cooking.

▯ Use dark, black-painted or enamelled baking

forms. These absorb the heat particularly well.

▯ It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The

steam oven is still warm. This shortens the baking
time for the second cake. You can also slide in
two loaf tins next to each other.

▯ For longer cooking times, you can switch off the

steam oven 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time and you can use the residual heat to
finish cooking.

▯ When steaming, you can cook simultaneously on

several levels. If dishes require different cooking
times, insert the dishes that require the longest
time first.

Core temperature probe

Insert the core temperature probe in the food to be cooked

The core temperature probe enables exact cooking to
the spot. It measures the temperature inside the food
being cooked. Automatic switching off when the
desired core temperature is reached ensures that
each cooked food is cooked precisely.

Use the included core temperature probe only. You
can purchase one as a spare part from after-sales
service or in the online shop.

The core temperature probe is damaged at
temperatures above 480°F (250°C). Therefore, only
ever use it in your appliance at a maximum
temperature setting of 445°F (230°C).

Always remove the core temperature probe from the
oven interior after use. Never store it in the oven
interior.

After every use, clean the core temperature probe with
a moist cloth. Do not wash it in a dishwasher!

9 WARNING

Risk of electric shock

Use of a wrong core temperature probe can
damage the insulation. Use only the core
temperature probe intended for this appliance.

Insert the core temperature probe in the food to be
cooked before you place it in the oven interior.

Insert the metal tip at the thickest point in the food
you are cooking. Make sure that the end of the tip is
approximately in the center. It must not be placed in
the fat and must not touch any cookware or bones.

If there are several pieces, insert the core
temperature probe in the middle of the thickest piece.

Insert the core temperature probe completely, if
possible.

In the case of poultry, make sure that the tip of the
core temperature probe is not in the cavity in the

Tables and tips

Notes

‒ The cooking times specified are intended as a

guide. The actual cooking time depends on the
quality and temperature of the food before
cooking, the weight and thickness of the food to
be cooked.

‒ Always preheat the appliance. Here's how to get

the best cooking results.
The cooking times specified refer to a pre-heated
appliance. Cook the food approx. 5 minutes
longer if the appliance is not pre-heated.

‒ The specifications refer to average quantities for

four people. If you would like to prepare more,
you should calculate a longer cooking time.

‒ Use the cookware specified. If you use other

cookware, cooking times may be longer or
shorter.

‒ Begin with the shortest time specified if you have

not made a dish before. If necessary, you can
always cook the food longer.

‒ Make sure to open the cooking compartment door

of the pre-heated appliance only briefly and to fill
the appliance quickly.

‒ If you are using only one cooking container, insert

it on the second level from the bottom.

‒ When steaming, defrosting, proofing dough, and

reheating, you can use up to three slide-in levels
at the same time (slide-in levels 2, 3, and 4 from
the bottom). This way there is no taste transfer.
This is how fish, vegetables, and dessert can be
prepared at the same time. The cooking times
specified may be longer with a large quantity of
food.

‒ Baking can only be done on one level; for this,

use the second level from the bottom.

‒ Do not allow the food to touch the cooking

compartment, grease filter or back wall of the
oven.

‒ The steam baking oven door must close securely.

Always keep the sealing surfaces clean.

‒ Do not crowd the grid and containers too tightly.

This guarantees optimal steam circulation.

‒ Leave the grease filter in the appliance at all

times.

‒ If you want to prepare dishes in steam and the

appliance is hotter than 100°C (e.g. because
something was baked in it previously), let the
appliance cool off before steaming. Otherwise

the dishes will dry out due to the excessive heat.

Vegetables

▯ Vegetables are prepared more gently in steam

than in boiling water. Their taste, color and
consistency are preserved better. Vitamins and
ingredients that are soluble in water are hardly
washed out. As the steam oven operates without
pressure at only 212 °F (100°C), foods are
prepared considerably more gently than in a
pressure cooker, for example.

▯ All data refers to 1 kg (about 2 lb) of cleaned

vegetables.

▯ Steaming does not dry out fish and its intrinsic

taste and texture are preserved very well.

▯ For reasons of hygiene, fish and other critical

foodstuffs should have a core temperature of at
least 143 - 149° F (62 - 65°C) after cooking. This
is simultaneously the ideal cooking point.

▯ Do not salt fish until after cooking it. This

preserves the natural aroma and less water is
extracted from the fish.

Meat – cooking at higher temperatures

▯ The combination of steam and hot air is the

optimum cooking process for many types of
meats. In this mode of operation, the oven
compartment is sealed hermetically and moisture
prevents the drying-out effect of the conventional
hot air. Thanks to variable humidity control, you
can achieve the optimum climate for every food.

▯ The cooking times specified serve to help you

orientate yourself and depend very much on the
initial temperature of the food and the length of
time it is browned. Use the core temperature
probe for better control. You will find notes and
optimum target temperatures in the section
entitled Core temperature probe.

▯ Take meat out of the fridge one hour before

preparing it.

▯ When using the perforated cooking inserts or the

rack, place an unperforated cooking receptacle
beneath it. Pour some water into the unperforated
cooking insert to prevent baking in. You can also
insert vegetables, wine, spices and herbs to
arrive at a tasty basis for sauces.

▯ If you would like to cook meat rare or medium-

rare: open the door 5°C (approx. 40 °F) before
the required core temperature has been reached
and wait until the target temperature is reached.
This prevents overcooking and you give the meat
the time it needs to settle.

▯ Letting meat settle: let the meat settle for another

10-15 minutes after cooking. In this way, the meat
can "relax". Circulation of the meat juice
diminishes and there are fewer losses of juice
when cutting open the meat.

▯ Vigorously browned meat matures over a longer

time at a lower temperature. As a result, the meat
evenly becomes gentle pink and extraordinarily
juicy apart from a very thin edge. And it is neither
necessary to turn the meat nor pour juice over it.

▯ The cooking times specified are only a

recommendation and depend very much on the
initial temperature of the food and the length of
time it is browned. Use the core temperature
sensor for better control. You will find notes and
optimum target temperatures in the section
entitled

Core temperature sensor.

▯ Take meat out of the fridge one hour before

preparing it.

▯ For hygienic reasons, sear the meat briefly at a

high temperature in the pan from all sides before
cooking it. As a result, a crust is produced that
prevents leaking of the meat juice and ensures a
typical roast aroma.

▯ Season carefully: slow maturing of the meat

boosts all aromas.

▯ Game tastes stronger after low-temperature

cooking than when prepared by classical
methods.

▯ Use the "Slow cooking" mode › . The moisture

escaping from the food stays in the cooking
compartment and prevents drying out of prepared
foods.

▯ Please note that you cannot achieve any core

temperatures above the cooking compartment's
temperature. As a rule of thumb: the set oven
temperature should be 50 - 60°F (10-15 °C)
above the desired core temperature.

▯ You can reduce the temperature to 140°F (60 °C)

towards the end of the cooking time. Thus, you
can prolong the cooking time (for example, if
guests arrive late). If you want to stop the cooking
process, the interior temperature must not be
higher than the desired core temperature. Thus,
large pieces can stay in the oven for 1 - 1.5 hours,
while small pieces can stay there for 30 ­45 minutes.

▯ Serve food on preheated cookware.

Poultry

▯ The humidity during combined operation prevents

drying out which, especially in the case of poultry,
is crucial. At the same time, the high temperature
lends crispy browning to the surface. The heat
transmitted by the hot steam is twice as high as in
the case of conventional hot air and it reaches all
parts of the food. This is why a chicken becomes
browned and crispy all-round, and nevertheless
the breast meat stays tender and juicy.

Cakes and cookies

▯ Using the steam oven, you can prepare your

baked items with the optimum humidity:
‒ a | Convection + 0% Humidity:

moisture can escape in the case of fruit cakes
and quiche. This mode corresponds to hot air
in the conventional oven.

‒ ` | Convection + 30% Humidity:

mixed cake does not dry out. The intrinsic
humidity in a food cannot escape from the
oven interior.

‒ _ - \ | Convection + 60 - 100% Humidity:

puff pastry and yeast-risen pastries become
looser on the inside and crispy on the outside
with a gloss.

▯ You can only bake on one level in the steam oven.

Insert the unperforated cooking container into the
second level from below. When using a high
baking tin, place it on the wire rack, which you
then insert in the first level from below.

▯ Always leave the grease filter in place when

baking.

▯ Misting brings additional steam to the food during

baking with Convection + 0% Humidity or with
Convection + 30% Humidity when touching the 2
symbol. Use the misting function for example
when baking bread at the beginning of the baking
time and the bread will increase in volume and
will get a crispy crust.

Regenerating (warming up)

▯ In the steam oven, you can generate the optimum

climate for warming ready-cooked meals without
them drying out. Thus, taste and quality are
preserved, and meals taste like freshly prepared.

▯ The data refers to portions for one person. You

can also warm up large quantities in the
unperforated cooking insert. The specified times
are lengthened.

▯ Use the "Regenerating" mode d to do this.

Thawing

▯ In the steam oven you can gently and evenly thaw

deep frozen foods faster than at room
temperature.

▯ Use the "Defrosting" mode W to do this.

▯ The specified thawing times are for your

orientation only. The time it takes to thaw
depends on the size and weight of the frozen
food: freeze your foods flatly or individually. This
shortens the thawing time.

▯ Take foods out of the packaging before thawing

them.

▯ Thaw only the amount you immediately need.

▯ Remember: in certain circumstances, thawed

food does not keep so well and goes bad faster
then fresh food. Immediately process thawed food
and cook it thoroughly.

▯ After half of the thawing time, turn meat or fish

over fish or separate fragmentary frozen food

such as berries or bits of meat. Fish need not
thaw fully. It suffices if the surface is soft enough
to absorb the spices.

9 WARNING

Health risk

When thawing animal foodstuffs, it is imperative
to remove the liquid that arises during thawing.
It must never come into contact with other
foodstuffs. Germs could be transmitted.
Slide the unperforated cooking insert
underneath the food. Pour away the collected
thawing liquid from meat and poultry. Then
clean the sink and rinse with plenty of water.
Clean the cooking insert in hot soapy solution
or in a dishwasher.
After defrosting, operate the steam oven for
15 minutes with Convection at 350 °F (approx.
180°C).

Boiling down

▯ In the steam oven, you can preserve fruit and

vegetables without much effort.

▯ If possible, boil down foodstuffs directly after

shopping or harvesting. Prolonged storage
reduces vitamin content and leads easily to
fermentation.

▯ Use only fruit and vegetables that are in a perfect

state.

▯ The steam oven is not suitable for preserving

meat.

Preparing yoghourt

▯ You can prepare your own yoghourt in the steam

oven.

▯ Heat up pasteurized milk to 195°F (90°C) on the

cook-top to avoid disturbing the yoghourt
cultures. Ultra heat treated milk (UH milk) does
not need heating. (Note: If you produce yoghourt
with cold milk, this will prolong the maturation
time.)

▯ Important! Allow the milk to cool to 105°F (40°C)

in a water bath to avoid destroying the yoghourt
cultures.

▯ Stir natural yoghourt with declared yoghourt

cultures into the milk (1 - 2 teaspoons of yoghourt
for every 100 ml (approx. 2.1 pints)).

sure you allow the jars and the oven interior to
cool down before you pour the yoghourt into the
jars and place the jars in the appliance.

▯ After preparing it, place the yoghourt in the

fridge.

▯ To prevent the yoghourt from going sour, add

skimmed milk powder (1 - 2 tablespoons per liter
(approx. 2 pints) to the milk before heating it.

Preparing bulky food

▯ You can remove the side slide-in racks to prepare

bulky food.

▯ To do this, undo the knurled nuts on the front of

the slide-in racks and pull out the racks toward
you (see section entitled Removing slide-in racks).

▯ Place the rack directly on the bottom of the oven

interior and then place the food or the roaster on
the rack. Do not place the food or the roaster
directly on the bottom of the oven interior.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Which foods are affected?

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato
products that are heated to high temperatures, such
as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine
baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a mini­mum when preparing food

General Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook

meals until they are golden brown, but
not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food

contain less acrylamide.
Baking With convection max. 355° F (180°C).
Cookies Egg or egg yolk reduces the production

of acrylamide. Spread out a single layer

evenly on the baking tray.
Oven fries Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking

tray so that the fries do not dry out.
