ACCESSORIES

WIRE SHELF

This allows the hot air to circulate effectively. Place food directly on the wire shelf or use it to support baking trays and

tins or other heat-resistant ovenware. When cooking food directly on the wire shelf, place the dripping pan on the level below it. It can also be placed on top of either the dripping pan or the steamer tray on the same level.

DRIPPING PAN

This is used as a baking tray with the “Convection Bake” function to cook meat, fish, vegetables, or different types

of bread and pastries. It is also useful for supporting heat-resistant ovenware as it means you do not have to place items on the bottom of the oven. It collects the cooking juices when placed below the wire shelf or the steamer tray.

WATER RESERVOIR

FOOD PROBE

SPONGE

Fill with drinking water every time you use one of the steam functions.

For measuring the core temperature of food during cooking.

For removing any condensation that forms during

cooking

STEAMER TRAY

This makes it easier for steam

to circulate, which helps cook

the food evenly. Place the

dripping pan on the level below

to collect the cooking juices.

The number of accessories may vary depending on which model is purchased. ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES: Other accessories that are not supplied can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service.

Before purchasing other accessories that are available on the market, make sure that they are heat-resistant and suitable for steaming.

Make sure that there is a gap of at least 30 mm between the top of any container and the walls of the cooking compartment in order to allow steam to ow suciently.

USING THE WATER RESERVOIR

The water reservoir can be easily accessed by opening the door. Remove it by lifting it slightly upwards and then pulling it towards you.

The water reservoir must be filled before activating any of the cooking functions: Fill it with drinking water up to the “MAX” mark.

Fill the water reservoir up to the “MAX” mark and place it in its holder: Make sure that it is positioned correctly: The top and the right-hand side of the water reservoir should be touching the sides of the holder.

Insert the water reservoir fully and then push it downwards until it clicks into place.

Carefully remove the water reservoir and empty it after every use. Take care to pour water out of the tube as well.

Before placing the water reservoir in its holder, make sure that the water tube is correctly positioned in the hollow at the top edge of the water reservoir.

INSERTING THE WIRE SHELF AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

Insert the wire shelf horizontally by sliding it across the shelf guides, making sure that the side with the raised edge is facing upwards.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE SHELF GUIDES

Other accessories, such as the dripping pan and the steamer tray, are inserted horizontally in the same way as the wire shelf.

1. To remove the shelf guides, slide them forwards

and pull them towards you to unhook them from the brackets.

2. To refit the shelf guides, hook them into the

brackets by pushing down on them gently until they click into place.

FUNCTIONS

TRADITIONAL FUNCTIONS

STEAM

For cooking natural and healthy dishes using steam to preserve the food's natural nutritional value. This function is particularly suited to cooking vegetables, fish and fruit, and also for blanching. Unless otherwise indicated, remove all packaging and protective film before placing the food in the oven. The temperature of the oven must be lower than 100 °C before using this function. If it is not, allow the oven to cool before starting.

CONVECTION

BAKE

For cooking dishes in a way that achieves similar results to using a conventional oven. This function is especially useful for cooking meringues, pastries, tarts, soufflés, poultry and meat. We recommend using the wire shelf with this function as it allows the air to circulate effectively. Alternatively, the baking tray or other cookware that is suitable for oven use can be used to cook certain foods, such as biscuits or bread rolls.

FORCED AIR + STEAM

This function combines the features of oven cooking with the properties of steam to cook food efficiently and effectively, producing dishes that are crispy on the outside but tender and succulent on the inside. It is especially suited to cooking roasting joints of meat or poultry, fish, potatoes, frozen ready meals, cakes and desserts.

REHEATING

For reheating ready-made food that is either frozen, chilled or at room temperature. This function uses steam to gently reheat food without drying it out, thus enabling it to retain its original flavour. Standing time improves the result. We recommend placing smaller or thinner pieces of food in the middle and larger or thicker pieces around the outside. If using the steamer tray, place the dripping pan below it to collect any liquid running out of the food.

FINISHING

For optimising the cooking of read-made food while keeping it soft and juicy. This function enables ready-made or partially pre-cooked meals, such as roasting joints, fish and gratins, to be reheated evenly. We recommend placing food on the baking tray and steaming it on level 3 with the dripping pan on the level below. You should set the temperature of the oven at the final temperature you would like the food to have.

STEAM DEFROST

For defrosting meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, bread and fruit. For best results, do not defrost the food completely but allow the process to finish during standing time. We recommend keeping bread wrapped up to prevent it from becoming too soft. For meat and fish: Remove all packaging and place on the steamer tray on level 3. Place the dripping pan on the level below to collect the melt water. For best results, turn the food halfway through the process and separate any parts that have already defrosted.

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook various different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended values to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then move on to higher values. We recommend using the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays that are heat- and steam-resistant. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.

CAKES AND BREAD

We recommend using the “Convection Bake” function for cakes and “Forced Air + Steam” for bread products. Use dark-coloured metal cake tins and always place them on the wire shelf supplied.

Alternatively, the dripping pan or other cookware that is suitable for oven use can be used to bake

certain foods, such as biscuits or bread rolls.

To check whether the item you are baking is done, insert a skewer into the centre: If it comes out clean, the cake or bread is cooked.

If using non-stick cake tins, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.

PROVING

Cover the tin containing the dough with a damp cloth and place it on the dripping pan. Place this in the oven on level 1 or 2. We recommend proving dough in the oven because it provides a more constant temperature than ambient air. It is nevertheless advisable to check the dough early (roughly after a third of the total proving time has elapsed), otherwise it could rise too much. You can also prove stretched or cut dough that has already partially risen: Cover the dripping pan with a cloth and place it on level 2 or 3. The time required for this will be approximately half the normal proving time.

The proving time for pizza starts at around one hour for 1 kg of dough.

Make sure that the oven door is closed when the oven is in operation and keep it closed as much as possible during cooking. If possible, place food directly on the accessories supplied and do not use additional cookware. Do not preheat the oven before cooking if this is not necessary. Cutting food into small, equally sized pieces will allow you to reduce cooking times and save energy as a result. When cooking for long periods of time (i.e. more than 30 minutes), we recommend lowering the temperature during the final stage: The residual heat inside the oven will be sufficient to continue cooking. Use this residual heat to heat up other food.

If the item “swells” during baking, use a lower temperature next time and consider reducing the amount of liquid you add or stirring the mixture more gently.

If the base of the cake is soggy, lower the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the filling.

PIZZA

Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Failure to carry out regular cleaning may cause the surfaces of the appliance to deteriorate. This in turn may shorten the service life of the appliance and cause dangerous situations to arise.

Make sure that the appliance

EXTERIOR SURFACES

• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.

• Clean the door glass with a suitable liquid detergent.

INTERIOR SURFACES

• After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues.

• To remove the moisture generated by steaming, leave the oven to cool and then wipe the compartment with a cloth or the sponge provided. We recommend using the “Steam Cleaning” function regularly.

ACCESSORIES

has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.

Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

The appliance must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.

Do not use steam cleaners.

• The majority of accessories can be washed in the dishwasher, including the shelf guides.

• The water reservoir and the food probe, however, are not dishwasher safe. Clean the water reservoir carefully using a sponge and a little pH-neutral detergent. Rinse with drinking water.

• The food probe can be cleaned using a damp cloth or kitchen towel.

BOILER

To ensure that the oven always works at optimum performance and to help prevent the build-up of limescale deposits over time, we recommend using the “Drain” and “Descale” functions regularly.

REPLACING THE LIGHT

1. Disconnect the oven from the power supply.

2. Unscrew the cover from the light and carefully

remove the seals and the washer.

3. Replace the light and screw the cover back

on, taking care to refit the seals and the washer correctly.
