Installation and connection

The appliance must be installed

and connected by a suitably
qualified and competent person in strict
accordance with local and national
electrical and plumbing safety
regulations. The manufacturer cannot
be held liable for damage caused by
incorrect installation or connection.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is tested regularly, and if
there is any doubt, the electrical wiring
in the home should be inspected by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the
consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

This equipment may only be used

in mobile installations such as
ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.

Warning and Safety instructions

9

Correct usage

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the appliance, you
should read these operating
instructions carefully before using it for
the first time. They contain important
notes on the installation, safety,
operation and care of the appliance.

For safety reasons the appliance

must only be used after it has been
built in. This is necessary to ensure that
all electrical components are shielded.

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only and is not to be
used for commercial purposes.

This appliance must only be used

as described in these instructions.
Any other usage is at the owner's risk
and could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect or
improper use of the appliance.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the
appliance could catch fire. The life of
the appliance could also be reduced.

After use with steam, leave the

door open until all the moisture in
the cooking compartment has
dissipated and the interior is dry.

Make sure that the stopcock is

open before using the appliance.
After switching off the appliance
remember to close the stopcock to
avoid any risk of water damage.

Do not use the appliance without

the filter in the bottom of the oven
cavity in place; otherwise coarse soiling
could get into the drainage system and
pump, causing a blockage.

Descaling must only be carried out

on a cold appliance; otherwise
harmful vapours can form. See
"Descaling".

If the appliance is not going to be

used for a longer period of time,
e.g. whilst on holiday, it should be
thoroughly cleaned beforehand to
prevent the build up of odours etc.
Proceed as described under "Cleaning
and heating up for the first time". Leave
the door open afterwards.

Warning and Safety instructions

10

Safety with children

The appliance must be installed at

such a height that small children
cannot reach the appliance door, which
gets hot during use.

Use the safety lock to prevent

children operating the appliance or
altering the settings.

The appliance is only intended for

use by adults who have read these
operating instructions. Keep children
well away. They will not understand the
potential danger of touching the
appliance. It is therefore important to
supervise children at all times.

This appliance is not a toy. To avoid

the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play with the appliance or its
controls. Supervise its use by the
elderly or infirm.

The appliance gets hot when in

use and remains hot for quite a
while after being switched off. To
safeguard against burning, keep
children well away from the appliance
until it has cooled down.

Warning: Take care in the area
around the hinges. Danger of

injury. Keep children well away.

Do not allow children to lean
against the open oven door, nor to

sit on it or swing on it.

Packaging (e.g. cling film,

polystyrene) and plastic wrappings
must be kept out of the reach of babies
and young children. Danger of
suffocation. Dispose of all packaging
safely as soon as possible.

Warning and Safety instructions

11

Protecting the appliance from
damage

Do not store anything combustible

in the oven. This could be a fire
hazard if the appliance is switched on
by mistake.

When heating up or cooking larger

items of deep frozen food such as
pizza, place them directly on the rack.
Do not use the baking tray, or grill pan /
oven tray as these can distort with the
temperature fluctuations.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up food in sealed jars and tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and
they can explode causing damage to
the appliance, as well as the risk of
injury and scalding.

Do not store cooked food in the

oven. The moisture in the food can
lead to corrosion in the appliance.

Do not use metallic containers or

utensils in the oven which are likely
to rust. This can cause corrosion.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to other
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.

Do not place heavy objects on the

open door. The door can support a
maximum weight of 10 kg.

Warning and Safety instructions

12

Protection from burning

The appliance, especially the

inside of the door and the outside
of the door at the top, becomes very
hot during use and remains hot for
some time after switching off.

To avoid burning yourself, use oven

gloves. However, do not let oven
gloves get damp or wet, as this causes
heat to transfer through the material
more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself. Do not touch hot
heater elements.

Do not touch hot steam. Danger of

scalding.

Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with oil
or fat. Oveheated oil can catch fire.

If, despite this, oil or fat does catch

fire, do not attempt to put out the
flames with water. Use a suitable fire
blanket or fire extinguisher.

Appliance faults

In the event of damage or a defect,
switch off the appliance immedi

­ately. Close the stopcock and
disconnect from the mains electricity
supply. It should not be used again until
it has been repaired. Contact the Ser

­vice Department.
Do not reconnect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply until after it has
been repaired.

Repairs must only be carried out

by a suitably qualified and trained
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be very dangerous and could
damage the appliance. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work. Never open the
housing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Warning and Safety instructions

13

Further safety notes

When using an electric socket near

the oven, care should be taken that
the cable of the appliance cannot get
trapped by the oven door. The
insulation on the cable could become
damaged, giving rise to an electric
shock hazard.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food and its temperature.
Some foods, e.g. poultry may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. If in doubt, select a longer
cooking or reheating time.

If the appliance door is only

opened a little way it will close
again automatically.
When placing items into or removing
them from the oven, make sure that the
door has been opened fully and that it
is stable. Otherwise there is danger of
injury.

Do not use plastic containers.
These melt at high temperatures

Fire hazard.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any
damage caused by cockroaches or
other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

14

Disposal of the packing
material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.

Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about available recycling schemes.

Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Before discarding an old appliance,
switch off and disconnect it from the
power supply. Cut off and render
any plug useless. Cut off the cable
directly behind the appliance to
prevent misuse. This should be done
by a competent person.

Caring for the environment

Steaming

Advantages of cooking with steam

–

Steam prevents food from drying out
so it remains moist, and juices are
not lost. This applies to a wide variety
of food, including dumplings, steam
puddings, fish and meat dishes, as
well as vegetables.

–

Food does not brown or get crisp
from over-cooking. It is gently
steamed, and not roasted or baked.
Cheese melts perfectly without
getting burnt. It is a healthy way of
cooking, and it brings out the distinct
flavour of the food.

Choosing the right container

Some stainless steel cooking
containers are supplied with the
appliance. Other containers, in a variety
of sizes, both perforated and solid, are
available as optional extras. This
enables you to choose the most
suitable container for the food you are
preparing.

When selecting a container, please
note:

–

Use perforated cooking containers
whenever possible so long as the
food is suitable, e.g. for vegetables.
The steam can reach the food from
all sides and the food is cooked
evenly.

– Only use a solid container or the grill

pan / oven tray when cooking food in
its own juices or gravy, or when
cooking food such as rice.

– With large items of food, such as

whole potatoes, the steam can work
more effectively because there are
spaces between the individual
pieces into which the steam can
penetrate. This way a large quantity
will take the same time to cook as a
smaller amount and large, deep
containers can be used. Where
possible, space the food out to allow
the steam more room.

Practical tips

29

–

More compact dishes such as
casseroles or bakes, or food such as
peas or asparagus spears, which
have little or no space between them
will take longer to cook because the
steam has less space to work in. The
fuller the container, the longer it will
take to cook. It is best to use 2 or 3
flat containers rather than one deep
one for these types of foods, and
then fill them only 3 - 5 cm deep.
Divide larger quantities of food
between several shallow containers,
so the recommended maximum
capacity is not exceeded. Cooking
durations quoted are calculated on
this principle. Deeper dishes will take
longer to cook.

– The steam oven is designed to cook

quantities of up to 12-18 portions. Be
careful not to exceed this amount.

You will find various tips on how to use
the steam oven in the following sections
or in the cook book.

You can also use your own containers
and dishes. However, please note the
following:

–

The container must be heat resistant
to 120 °C. Heat-resistant glass,
ceramics, porcelain, chinaware,
stainless steel and enamel dishes
are all suitable.

–

Food will take considerably longer to
cook than the time quoted if the dish
has thick sides.

–

Place the container on the rack
supplied.

– Ensure that there is a gap of at least

3 cm between the upper rim of the
container and the top of the cooking
compartment to allow sufficient
steam into the container.

Tips on steaming

–

We recommend using:
Steam with pressure 4 for robust
food, e.g. vegetables, pulses, stock
etc.
Steam without pressure 3 for
delicate food, e.g. fruit, delicate
vegetables, fish etc.

–

When using Steam with pressure 4
cooking will take approx. half the
time it would take without pressure.

–

Place the oven tray supplied on the
lowest runner level to collect any
condensed water. Always use the
tray underneath a perforated cooking
container.

– You can select any shelf level. You

can also cook on several levels at
the same time. This will not alter the
cooking duration.

– When cooking frozen food, e.g.

vegetables, ensure that any large
clumps frozen together are broken
up first so that they cook evenly. The
cooking duration is approximately
the same as for fresh vegetables.

–

Frozen and fresh vegetables which
take the same length of time to cook
can be cooked together.

–

Cooking with steam retains the true
taste of the food better than
conventional cooking. Food should
not therefore be seasoned until after
it has been cooked.

–

Only fill solid containers with liquid
up to the lower rim.

–

Dried foods like pasta and rice must
be cooked in liquid. Pasta should be
well covered with liquid. With rice,
pulses etc. the proportion of food to
liquid should be 1:1.

–

Cooking liquids do not boil away.
They are either absorbed by the
food, as with rice and pasta, or they
remain in the dish to form a sauce,
as with casseroles. The sauce can
then be thickened or added to after
cooking.

– Cook fish at temperatures of between

85 °C and 100 °C, as this gentle
cooking will maintain texture and
natural colour.

– Grease perforated containers

beforehand if used for cooking fish in
its skin, and solid containers if used
for cooking dishes containing eggs.

– To avoid any transfer of tastes

caused by moisture dripping down
from above when cooking on several
levels, place solid containers above
any perforated containers or the grill
pan / oven tray or baking tray can be
used under a perforated container.
If using a perforated container on a
lower shelf level, always place a solid
container underneath to prevent any
moisture dripping down onto the
heater element.

Tips on roasting

The times quoted in the chart are
suggestions only and may differ
depending on personal taste.

–

Roasting 5 is ideal for cooking
poultry with a crispy skin. Steam
pressure roasting 6 is ideal for
cooking meat in its juices or gravy.

–

When using Steam pressure roasting
6 cooking will only take approx. half
the time it would take without
pressure.

–

Always defrost meat before cooking.
Never cook from frozen.

– If adding salt to meat, only do so

shortly before roasting to prevent the
meat losing its juices.

– Since there is no need to baste when

roasting in this appliance, salt and
seasoning should be rubbed into the
meat before roasting. Adding a little
oil makes it easier to rub dry herbs
into the meat.

–

Put joints for roasting e.g. pork with
crackling, as well as poultry or
poultry pieces directly on the rack,
with the grill pan / oven tray on the
runner underneath to catch any
juices.

–

For braising, however, place the
meat into a roasting dish or directly
in the grill pan / oven tray.

–

To achieve the best results, use a
roasting thermometer.

–

The runner levels quoted in the chart
have been selected so that that the
meat is centrally positioned in the
oven. Very tall roasts and large
poultry should be placed on the 2nd
shelf level.

–

Meat which has been stored at a
very low temperature will need a
longer roasting time than that given
in the chart.

–

If the overall cooking time is quite
long and if vegetables, such as
onions, tomatoes, carrots etc. are to
be added to the roast, we
recommend that you do not add
these until more than half-way
through the roasting time. Otherwise
they can become too dark and give
the gravy a bitter taste.

– Allow a standing time of approx. 10

minutes after the end of cooking so
that the meat juices are evenly
distributed.

Tips on saving energy

–

It is not necessary to pre-heat the
oven before roasting.

–

More than one piece of meat can be
roasted side by side.

Tips on baking

Handling and preparing food
correctly is essential for maintaining
good health. Only bake cakes,
pizza, chips etc. until they are
golden brown. Do not overcook
them or allow them to become dark
brown.
Refer to the baking chart for
recommended temperatures and
times.

–

Always select the lowest temperature
given in the chart/recipe/cooking
instructions given on the packaging.
Do not select a higher temperature
than that advised. Increasing the
temperature may reduce the baking
time, but will lead to uneven
browning. In some cases cakes
might not cook properly.

– At the end of the shorter time given,

check to see whether the cake etc. is
done. Insert a metal or wooden
skewer into the centre. If it comes out
clean, without dough or crumbs
sticking to it, the cake is ready.

–

Steam baking 8 is ideal for bread,
bread rolls and yeast doughs e.g.
Stollen and puff pastries.

–

When using Baking A pre-heat the
oven for 5 minutes.

–

It is not possible to bake on more
than one level at a time in this
appliance.

–

Before Steam baking 8 and before
Baking A check the recess
underneath the filter in the base of
the oven. It must always be dry,
otherwise the items being baked will
not rise properly.

–

When baking cakes with a deep
fresh fruit filling, e.g. plum or
damson, use the grill pan / oven tray.
This will avoid juices from spilling
over and will make it easier to clean
the oven.

– Yeast dough can be put in the oven

to rise.
Turn the function selector to Baking
A and reduce the recommended
temperature to 50 °C. Set a time of
30 minutes for proving and start the
oven. Remember to cover the dough!

Practical tips

38

–

When baking deep frozen products
such as cakes, pizza and baguettes,
use the lowest temperature quoted
on the manufacturer's packaging.
Use the rack covered with baking
parchment.

–

Deep frozen foods such as oven
chips or potato croquettes can be
cooked on the baking tray or grill
pan. Place these types of frozen
foods on baking parchment and
select the lowest temperature quoted
on the manufacturer's packaging.

Tips on saving energy

If baking times are longer than 30
minutes, you can switch the oven off a
little before the end of the cooking time
to make use of the residual heat in the
oven and save energy. With Baking A
switch off approx. 5-10 minutes before
the end of the cooking time and with
Steam baking 8 approx. 5 minutes
before the end of the cooking time.
Leave the baking in the oven with the
door closed for a further 5-10 minutes.

Meal planning

It is very economical and practical to
cook a whole meal at the same time in
the steam combination oven.

In general, cooking durations will vary
according to the type of food. This
means that you will need to open the
steam oven at different times to add a
particular dish. Our test kitchen
recommends the following procedure,
as shown in this example (Function:
Steam 3).

Rice 20 minutes
Turkey roulade 15 minutes

Proceed as follows:

^ First place the dish with the longest

cooking duration, e.g. the rice, in the
oven.

^ Select Steam 3.
^ Calculate the cooking duration by

subtracting the shorter cooking
duration from the longer duration, i.e.
5 minutes.

^

Press the timer button.

^

Once the 5 minutes and also the
cooling down period has elapsed,
place the second dish (turkey
roulade) in the oven.

^

Set the cooking duration for the
second dish, e.g. 15 minutes.

^

Press the timer button.

At the end of the cooking duration you
can remove all the dishes at the same
time.

Practical tips

41

Blanching

You can use your steam oven to blanch
vegetables and fruit to prepare them for
freezing using Steam 3.

Proceed as follows:

^

Put the prepared vegetables/fruit
(cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into
a perforated cooking container.

^

Place the container in the appliance.

^

Select Steam 3. The recommended
temperature of 100 °C is suitable for
blanching.

^

Set a time of 1-2 minutes and start
the programme.

Defrost

Deep frozen food can also be defrosted
using steam in this appliance in much
less time than when defrosting at room
temperature.

Proceed as follows:

^

Place the food in a suitable container
or on the rack.

^

Select Steam 3 and lower the
recommended temperature to
between 30-50 °C.

^ Select the defrost time and start the

programme.

Tips on defrosting

– When defrosting meat or poultry

place the grill pan / oven tray
underneath the rack to catch the
defrosted liquid, so that the meat is
not lying in this liquid.

It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
poultry. Do not use the liquid from
defrosted poultry. Pour it away and
wash the tray, the sink and your
hands. Danger of salmonella.

–

Where possible remove the
packaging and put the food to be
defrosted on a baking tray or into a
suitable dish.
Food which does not contain
juices/water can be defrosted in its
packaging on a baking tray.

–

Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning.

–

Turn, stir or separate food about
half-way through the defrosting time.

–

Allow food to stand at room
temperature at the end of the
defrosting time. This standing time is
necessary to ensure that the food is
fully defrosted right through to the
core.

–

Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.

– Defrost deep frozen pre-cooked

meals according to the
manufacturer's instructions.

– Defrost baked goods in a sealed

freezer bag.

of use.

Cleaning and care

55

Water nozzle

The water nozzle b, located in the
cooking compartment between the top
heater elements has several spray
holes. These holes are susceptible to
limescale, especially in hard water
areas. The water nozzle will need to
descaled on a regular basis, more often
than is the case with the heater
elements and steam generator (see
"Descaling").

Proceed as follows:

^

Loosen nut a at the front end of the
water nozzle until you are able to
swing butt strap b to one side, and
release the flat front end of the water
nozzle.

^ Using pliers turn the water nozzle

around 180°. You will be able to grip
it better from this position.

^

Now pull the water nozzle out of its
socket c at the rear of the cooking
compartment. If it is difficult to
remove you may need to use the
pliers again.

^

Soak the water nozzle in a solution of
descaling agent until all the spray
holes in the side are free of limescale.
If necessary use a needle to remove
the limescale. Use the CC-Descaling
agent supplied with the appliance or
a suitable proprietary descaling
agent (e.g. one suitable for use in
coffee machines) and follow the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.

^ After descaling, rinse the spray arm

out thoroughly with clean water and
leave to dry.

^ Re-fit it in its socket and secure it at

the front using butt strap b and nut
a.
