Warning and safety instructions

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 present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system 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 is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

The top edge of the appliance door

should not be above eye level. If it is too high, you will find it difficult to access all levels safely when putting dishes into the oven and taking them out, and there is a danger of food spillages and possible scalding.

Warning and safety instructions

Correct usage

Before using the appliance for the

first time, read the operating instructions carefully. They contain important notes on the safety, operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.

For safety reasons this appliance

must only be operated 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 without

the drain 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" section.

Wipe out the appliance with a cloth

after each use and leave the door open until the moisture in the cooking compartment has dissipated.

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 Care" and "Before using for the first time". Leave the door open afterwards.

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.

Warning and safety instructions

Safety with children

The appliance must be installed at

such a height that small children cannot reach the appliance door, which gets very 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. Do not

allow children to play with it.

The appliance becomes very hot

during use and remains hot for some time after switching off. To safeguard against burning, keep children out of the vicinty of the appliance until it has cooled down.

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

injury! Keep children well away.

Food 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

Protecting the appliance from damage

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 leave cooked foods

standing in the oven for an unneccessary length of time. This is to prevent condensation building up which could cause corrosion to 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 the 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.

On aluminium framed appliances

with a glass lift-up door, the frames as well as the lift-up door handle are made from aluminium which is susceptible to damage by abrasive, alkaline and acidic cleaning agents. Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel on these surfaces. It is essential to follow the cleaning instructions given in the paragraph "Appliance front" in "Cleaning and care". Soiling should be wiped off as soon as possible after using the appliance. If the soiling is left for a long time, it can have a damaging effect on the aluminium surfaces.

The appliance is designed to

detect and then self-correct certain operational faults. If a fault is detected, the fault messages F01 to F61 will appear in the display. The door of the appliance can only be opened when the fault message is flashing in the display. If the fault message is not flashing, the appliance is still processing the fault. See "Problem solving guide" for further information.

Warning and safety instructions

Protection from burning and scalding

The appliance, especially the door,

becomes extremely hot during use, and remains hot for some time after switching off. Be careful only to touch the door button and door handle when the oven door is hot.

For added protection, it is

advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of burning yourself.

On models which are not fitted in

combination with an oven, pull out the shelf underneath the appliance before opening the door. You can place hot containers on the shelf and it will also collect any drops of hot water.

On no account attempt to force the door open during a programme.

The door may only be opened when:

- the cooling down phase is finished,

- the audible tone has sounded,

- the g symbol in the time display flashes.

Otherwise there is a danger of burning or scalding. Attempts to open the door before a programme has run its course will cause an alarm to sound, and the word door to appear in the time display.

When putting dishes into the oven

or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents. Do not come into contact with hot steam. Danger of scalding.

When cooking food which has a

tendency to boil over, e.g. soup, casseroles etc, the cooking temperatures selected must not exceed 100 °C. Otherwise there could be a danger of scalding when the door is opened.

If bottling, do not exceed a cooking

temperature of 95 °C (90 °C where the appliance is installed higher than 1000 m above sea level). Higher temperatures can cause the jars to shatter. Danger of injury.

Warning and safety instructions

Appliance faults

In the event of damage or a defect,

switch off the appliance immediately. Close the stopcock and disconnect from the mains electricity supply. Contact the Service Department. The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when it is switched off at the wall socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

Repairs may only be carried out by

a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be very dangerous and invalidate the guarantee. Never open the housing of the appliance.

Further safety notes

When using an electric socket near

the oven, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical 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. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food and its temperature. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough.

Warning: Take care in the area

around the hinges. Danger of injury.

Do not use plastic containers.

These melt at high temperatures.

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 which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of 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.

Before using for the first time

Do not be concerned if your appliance makes some unusual noises. They occur when the steam generating unit is being filled or emptied out and when pumping is taking place.

You will also be able to hear the fan which continues to operate after you have finished cooking. The fan will switch off as soon as the appliance has cooled down.

Please stick the extra data plate supplied with this appliance in the space provided at the end of the "Services" section of these instructions.

Keep these instructions handy for reference whilst using the steam oven. Please pass them on to any future user.

Before using for the first time
