the lowest side runners to collect any dripping liquid and
allow it to be removed easily. You can also use the drip tray
as a cooking pan if necessary.
Water container
The maximum amount of water is approx. ½ gallon (2 liters),
the minimum is approx. ½ pint ( 0.5 liters). These levels are
indicated on the container. Never exceed the maximum level.
The amount of water required for cooking depends on the
type of food. Opening the door during cooking will increase
the amount used.
Depending on the food being cooked, you may need to refill
the water container after 90 minutes. The appliance will
advise you when to refill the container.
At the end of the cooking process, residual water in the
steam generator is pumped back into the water container.
The water container should be emptied after each use.
Noises
You can hear a noise (humming) when the appliance is
turned on, when it is operating, and after it has been turned
off.
This noise does not indicate a malfunction or a defect. This
noise occurs when the appliance pumps water.
Temperature
Some programs have recommended temperatures. This
temperature can be changed for one-time use or every time
that process is used (see "Settings").
Cooking time (duration)
You can set a cooking time between 1 minute (00:01) and
10 hours (10:00).

Guide to the Steam Oven
While the oven is heating up to the set temperature, the
display will show the rising temperature inside the oven
together with "Preheating" (Exceptions: MasterChef programs
and Menu Cooking).
The preheating time depends on the quantity and the
temperature of the food. It will be longer if you are preparing
refrigerated or frozen food.
The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is
reached. During the cooking phase, the remaining time is
displayed.
Just before the end of the cooking time, the door opens
slightly to release some of the steam from the oven. The door
will then close again automatically.
You can turn the steam reduction function off (see "Settings").
If turned off, the "Keeping warm" function will also be
deactivated.
If "Steam reduction" is turned off, a lot of steam will come out
of the oven when the door is opened.
Keeping warm
If you wish to use this function you must change the default
setting (see "Settings").
If the steam oven is not turned off at the end of a cooking
program, the food will be kept warm for a maximum of
15 minutes.
Please note that delicate food, especially fish, can continue
cooking while being kept warm.

soft sponge, liquid dish soap and warm water.
Set the water hardness level
Before using for the first time
The steam oven is factory-set to the water hardness setting
"Hard". It must be adjusted to the local water hardness to
ensure trouble-free operation and timely descaling. The
harder the water, the more often the oven requires descaling.
^
Check the hardness of your local water supply and adjust
the water hardness as necessary (see "Settings").
19
Before using for the first time
Set the correct boiling point of water
Before cooking food for the first time, you must set the boiling
point of the water, as this varies according to the altitude
where the appliance is located. This procedure also flushes
the waterlines.
This procedure must be carried out to ensure trouble-free
functioning of your appliance.
Run the Steam Cooking (212° F/100° C) program for
^
15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Quick guide".
If you move the appliance to a new location, it will need to be
re-set for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by
more than 984 ft. (300 m). To do this, run the descale
program (see "Cleaning and care - Descale").
