Warning and Safety instructions

Installation and connection

The appliance may be connected

via a plug and fused socket. However, if the appliance is to be connected to an isolator switch this must be done by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and national safety regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of 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 imperative that this basic safety requirement is tested and where there is any doubt, the electrical system of the house should be tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

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.

Do not install the appliance too

high. It should be at a suitable height for all users to be able to safely access all cooking levels and containers. Otherwise any spillages could cause burns or scalding.

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electrical supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions

food in the home. Any other usage is at the owner"s own risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of the appliance.

Wipe out the oven interior with an

absorbent cloth after each use, and do not forget to wipe down the ventilation outlet and the drip channel.

Leave the door open until the

moisture in the cooking compartment has dissipated and the interior is dry.

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. Refer to the section "Before using for the first time" and carry out the procedure as described. Leave the door open afterwards.

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 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.

This appliance is not a toy. Keep

children well away from it and do not allow them to play with it or with the controls. They will not understand the potential danger of touching a hot appliance. They should be supervised at all times when you are working 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 vicinity of 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.

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

Protection from damage

Do not heat up unopened tins of

food in the oven as pressure will build up in the tin and it will explode damaging the cooking compartment. There is also a danger of personal injury and scalding.

Do not leave cooked foods

standing for an unneccessary length of time in the oven. 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.

When descaling the oven only use

descaling agents with a citric acid base. Do not use vinegar or agents containing vinegar as this is corrosive and would damage the appliance. Follow the manufacturer"s safety instructions on the packaging.

Protection from burning and injury

When in use, the appliance,

particularly the inner side of the door as well as the outer side of the appliance in the region of the ventilation outlet, becomes very hot and remains so for a while after the oven has been switched off.

Wear oven gloves when working

with a hot appliance.

When handling cooking containers

take care not to let the contents spill over. Ensure that you do not come into contact with hot steam. There is a danger of scalding.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean this appliance. The steam from the cleaning appliance could reach the live 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 lean or sit on the open door

of the appliance, or place heavy items on it. The door can support a maximum weight of 8 kg.

Warning and Safety instructions

With a damaged appliance

In the event of damage or a defect,

switch off the appliance immedi ately. Disconnect completely from the 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 and the plug removed (pull on the plug, not the cable), 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 while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.

Repairs may only be carried out by

a suitably qualified and competent person to ensure safety. Repairs by unauthorised personnel could be dangerous. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. On no account open the outer casing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under

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

General notes

When using an electric socket near

the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the steam oven door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Warning: Take care in the area

around the hinges. Danger of injury.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its temperature, changes to the recipe and the shape and size of cooking container. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking. Therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through. If in doubt select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Do not use plastic containers. They

may melt at high temperatures. The oven could then be damaged.

In countries 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 might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packaging 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 offered for recycling

Disposal of old appliances

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

Before disposing of an old appliance, switch off at the mains electricity 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. Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Before using for the first time

Do not be worried 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.

When the appliance is switched on the fan which extracts steam from the oven can also be heard. The fan will continue running for a while after the oven has been switched off.

Please stick the data plate supplied with the appliance documentation into the space provided at the end of this operating instruction booklet.

Keep these instructions in safe place for reference, and pass them on to any future user.

Before using for the first time

Setting the water hardness level

The steam oven is set at the factory to water hardness setting IV (4) .

Setting Display °dH mg/l

I 1 1-7 °dH <20-130 mg/l

II 2 8-14 °dH 140-250 mg/l III 3 15-21 °dH 270-380 mg/l IV 4 >21 °dH >380 mg/l

The 1 indicates the type of operation. The 4 shows the pre-set water hardness setting.

Select water hardness setting III (3), II (2) or I (1) as required by pressing or + .

The water hardness setting you have selected will be stored in memory as soon as the function selector is turned to another position.

Cleaning and heating up for the first time

For the appliance to be fully functional, it is necessary before using it for the first time to run the DESCALE operation k, without adding descaling agent.

This process sets the appliance for the boiling temperature of water, which will vary depending on the altitude in your area.

If this is not done too much steam will be released from the appliance during use.

Procedure:

^ Fill the water container with 1.0 l wa-

ter, place it in the appliance and close the door.

Before using for the first time

Do not adjust the function selector during this period as otherwise the descaling programme will have to be started from the beginning again.

An audible tone will sound when there are 8 minutes remaining and the following will alternate in the display:

^ Select DESCALE k with the function

selector.

The following will be displayed:

Press Start.

The time will count down from the starting point of 33 minutes as shown in the display.

^ Empty out the water container, re-fill it

with 1.0 l of fresh water, place it in the steam oven and close the door.

Press Start.

The above procedure must be repeated twice more when the audible tone sounds. Do not be alarmed at the amount of steam emitted.

Before using for the first time

When the time has counted down

you will see the following display:

Turn the function selector to "0".

Wait until the appliance has pumped

the residual water back into the water container and then open the door.

Take care. Hot steam will escape when the door is opened.

Remove, empty and thoroughly dry

out the water container. Wipe out the oven interior with an

absorbent cloth and leave the door open until the moisture in the cooking compartment has dissipated. Remember to wipe down the ventilation outlet and the drip channel.

See the section on Descaling for further information.

Before each use

Fill the water container.

Only use mains tap water. Never use distilled or mineral water.

The water level must be between the

1.0 l and 1.25 l markings. On no account exceed the "max"

(maximum) level marker.

1.0 l water is enough for a cooking time of approximately 20 minutes, 1.25 l for a cooking time of approximately 60 minutes when cooking about 4 servings of food.

^ Always place the drip tray onto the

lowest shelf runner to catch any moisture that may build up during cooking.

Push the water container into the

appliance until it connects.

Starting a function

Procedure:

Press Start.

The two light bars will go out and the display will change to show the current temperature of the cooking compartment , e.g. 20 °C and the temperature symbol z

Use

After the steam oven has begun to operate you will hear a pumping noise

as water is pumped from the water container into the steam generating unit. The appliance will then heat up. During this heating up time the rise in temperature in the cooking compartment shows in the display.

As soon as the set temperature has been reached, the display will change to show the cooking time set and the time will begin to count down. This is indicated by the colon flashing between the figures.

Please note that the total time, i.e. the time between the beginning and end of a function, is made up of the heating up time and the set cooking time added together. The heating up time and therefore also the total time will depend on the quantity of food to be cooked. The larger the quantity, the longer the heating up time.

Please also note that if the cooking temperature selected is 85 °C or higher and the cooking time is longer than 30 minutes, then the steam generating unit will switch off 3 minutes before the end of cooking time to make use of residual energy. This is indicated by the letters EC in the display.

Suitable containers

Some stainless steel cooking containers are supplied with the appliance. Other containers, are available in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, as optional accessories. When choosing the most suitable container for the particular food you are cooking, please note:

Use perforated cooking containers

–

whenever possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.

– With large items of food, such as

whole potatoes, the steam can work 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

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 flatter containers rather than one deep one for this type of food and then only fill them between 3 and 5 cm deep. Cooking times quoted are calculated on this principle. Deeper dishes will take longer to cook.

– To ensure even results when cooking

with more than one container do not use more than one gastronorm size GN 1/2 container.

– The steam oven is designed to cook

quantities of up to 6-8 portions. Be careful not to exceed the amounts quoted.

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

Practical tips

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

The container must be heat resistant

–

to 100° C. Heat resistant glass or ceramic glass, 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.

Practical tips

Tips on steaming

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.

You can select any shelf level. You

–

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

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.

– 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 time is approximately the same as for fresh vegetables.

Only fill solid containers with liquid

–

up to the lower edge. 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.

– Grease perforated containers

beforehand if using them to cook fish, and solid containers if using to cook dishes containing eggs.

– To avoid any transfer of tastes

caused by moisture dripping down from above, solid containers should be placed on the rack above any perforated containers.

–

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.

Reheating

Your steamer is very effective at reheating dishes which have been prepared previously.

Procedure:

Place the food on a flat plate and

cover it with a deeper plate or some heat-resistant foil.

Select the REHEAT function.

Select a cooking time of between 5-8

minutes, depending on the type of food.

Press Start.

Defrosting

Deep frozen food can be defrosted in the steam oven in considerably shorter times than when defrosting at room temperature.

Procedure:

Select the DEFROST function.

If necessary alter the temperature

(see chart). Select the defrost time (see chart).

Press Start.

Tips on defrosting

– The time needed for defrosting

depends on the type and weight of the food, and at what temperature it was deep frozen.

– Use the rack with the drip tray

underneath it to defrost food which will drip. This way the frozen food will not be lying in defrosted liquid.

Fish does not need to be fully

–

defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently defrosted to take herbs and seasoning. Fish which is to be given a coating of breadcrumbs should be fully defrosted so that the coating sticks to the flesh.

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 (see chart) 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.

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.

–

Food which will not drip can be placed on the rack or in a dish once the wrapping has been removed.

– Defrost baked goods in a sealed

freezer bag.

Bottling

Bottling should only be undertaken by an experienced cook who has received proper training in this method of preserving fruit and vegetables, and understands the implications of the chemical reactions involved.

Important

When bottling in the steam oven a maximum temperature of 98°C must not be exceeded.

For bottling select the COOK Universal function.

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

A few examples are given in the above chart. Consult the cookery book for more information.

35-45 20-25

Meal planning

Procedure:

Place cooking containers on different

levels or place them side by side or one on top of the other on the rack.

Insert the drip tray at the lowest level.

In general, the cooking times 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. Calculate cooking times as follows:

Stuffed peppers 40 minutes with Boiled potatoes 10 minutes

First place the dish with the longest

cooking time, e.g. the stuffed peppers, in the oven.

To calculate the cooking time

subtract the shorter cooking time from the longer time, i.e. 40 minutes 10 minutes = 30 minutes in the example given above.

Press Start.

The cooking process stops automatically after 30 minutes.

When this happens the second dish,

e.g. the potatoes in this example, should be placed in the oven.

^ Set the cooking time for the second

dish, e.g. 10 minutes. ^ Press Start again. At the end of cooking time an audible

tone will sound and you can then remove both dishes at the same time.

(see menu suggestion 3 in the chart).

Blanching

Blanching with steam

You can use your steam oven to blanch vegetables to prepare them for freezing.

Blanching (short heat treatment) is usually necessary so that the enzymes which are contained in the vegetables are made inactive. Active enzymes cause changes in colour and also break down active substances, for example vitamin C.

Asparagus, cucumber and herbs need not be blanched.

As a rule, fruit can also be frozen raw. Only a few varieties which go brown easily (apples, pears) should be blanched first.

Procedure:

^ Put the prepared vegetables

(cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into a perforated cooking container.

Place the container on the rack in the oven and insert the drip tray at the lowest level.

Disinfecting baby bottles

The steam oven can be used to disinfect baby bottles and other containers. Check beforehand that all parts, teats etc., are declared by the manufacturer to be heat-resistant to 100 °C.

Proceed as follows:

Place the drip tray on the first shelf

level and place the rack above it.

Dismantle, clean and thoroughly

rinse the bottles and space the

individual parts out on the rack,

ensuring that they do not touch one

another. This allows the hot steam to

reach them from all sides.

^ Select COOK Universal Q. ^ Set a time of at least 15 minutes. ^ Dry thoroughly using a fresh, clean

tea towel after disinfection. All parts

of the bottles must be completely dry

before they are reassembled to keep

them germ free.

Blanch using COOK Universal at a temperature of 90 °C.

Set a time of 1-2 minutes.

Press Start.

Once blanched, plunge the vegetables into cold water to cool them down quickly. You can then freeze them when they have dried off thoroughly.

Cleaning and care

General notes

Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

Clean the whole appliance and then dry it thoroughly after each use.

Make sure the appliance is completely dry before closing the door.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam from the cleaning appliance could reach the live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.

Never use cleaners containing alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides, oven sprays, dishwasher detergents or abrasive cleaning agents, hard brushes, scouring pads and cloths or steel wool. You should also not use sponges etc. which have previously been used with abrasive cleaning agents. These would damage the surface.

Cleaning and care

Appliance front

The appliance front and controls should be cleaned using a mild solution of hot water with a little washing up liquid, applied with a damp cloth. Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

Appliances with aluminium fronts (see dataplate) and/or with metal coloured lacquered controls: Parts of the appliance front made from aluminium and the metal coloured lacquered controls are susceptible to damage from scratches and abrasion as well as from alkaline and acidic substances. It is therefore essential to clean these with care as described above. Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or descaling agents on these surfaces. 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 surfaces.

Drip tray, rack and cooking containers

The drip tray, rack and cooking containers should be washed and dried each time they are used.

They can be washed in the dishwasher.

Stainless steel fronts: Please contact your local Spare Parts department for information on the appropriate cleaning product.

Cleaning and care

Removable door and drip plate

Removing the door will make it easier to reach into the oven interior and also this will allow you to remove the drip plate w.

Procedure:

Open the door fully.

Flip up the clamps in front of the door

hinges.

Holding the door with both hands, lift

up the door until the hinges

disengage. Remove the door.

^ If necessary the drip plate w can be

removed for cleaning. After cleaning

dry it and then put it back into the

oven again, ( cut-out to the rear).

Slowly close the door until the raised clamps are touching the frame of the oven interior.

To re-fit the door reverse the above procedure:

Place the door on the hinges.

Open the door fully and push the

clamps back down.

Close the door.

Cleaning and care

Cooking compartment

The cooking compartment including the door seal and the steam oven door should be cleaned after each use. Allow the oven to cool down before cleaning.

Most cooking residues can be easily removed using a sponge cloth, a little washing up liquid and warm water.

If your water is very hard, a white deposit can build up on the interior walls. A little vinegar on a damp cloth can be used to remove this. (Note: vinegar must not be used in the Descaling programme).

Wipe the interior with clean water and rub dry.

Runners

It is helpful to remove the side runners before cleaning the cooking compartment.

Procedure:

Pull on the fixing knob to release it.

The runners can then be removed

easily. Remove them by pulling them

first of all towards the centre of the

oven a, and then towards you b .

The runners can be cleaned with water and a little washing up liquid or in a dishwasher.

To re-fit the runners reverse the above procedure. Insert them into the rear of the oven and them push them in at the sides.

Cleaning and care

Connecting valve

The connecting valve on the water container consists of a valve insert t, a rubber pad u and an O-Ring v. There is also a connecting valve on the appliance itself, this however only consists of the valve insert t.

The connecting valve or parts of it may need replacing if

– an unusually large amount of water is

collecting in the bottom of the appliance where the water container connects into the valve on the appliance.

–

an audible tone is sounding and the symbol for insufficient water is lit up, even though the water container is full and located correctly.

Visually check the connecting valves for obvious wear and tear. If it is not obvious which part is faulty replace the valve inserts t in the water container and in the appliance. If the fault is still not corrected then replace the O-Ring v and the rubber pad u in the water container connecting valve.

To replace the valve insert t :

Insert the pointed end of the special

tool (see Accessories at the

beginning of this book) into the valve

insert and pull it out:

of the water container

of the appliance

Cleaning and care

Attach a new valve insert u to the

blunt end of the special tool. Insert this into the opening in the

connecting valve.

Make sure that sealing ring on the valve insert is at the front.

^ Press the valve insert firmly into

position using the blunt end of the tool.

To change the rubber pad u on the water container:

Using tweezers or pointed pliers pull

the extension piece through the

opening so that the small thicker end

sits in the inside of the water

container.

To change the O-Ring v on the water container:

Lay the water container on its side.

Use a finger nail, knife or a small

screwdriver to to get underneath the

O-Ring.

^ Pull the old O-Ring off. ^ Push the new O-Ring onto the

connecting valve. Then lubricate it

with the silicone grease supplied

(see "O-Ring" in "Cleaning and

Care").

Pull the old rubber pad out of the connecting valve.

Dampen the new rubber pad with water.

Push the new rubber pad into the connecting valve so that the extension piece on the rubber pad sticks out through the opening in the water container.

Cleaning and care

O-Ring

It is possible that during the course of time the water container becomes harder to put into the appliance and take out again.

If this happens the black O-Ring v should be lubricated with the silicone grease supplied (see Accessories"). Leave the new O-Ring on the connecting valve. Only use a very small amount of grease!

When handling silicone grease please observe the following safety measures:

– Remove any silicone grease from

your skin either by wiping it off or by washing it off.

– If the grease gets into the eyes it

must be rinsed out with plenty of clean water.

When lubricating the O-Ring only use the silicone grease supplied. On no account must margarine or oil or any other domestic grease or fats be used as these can cause the O-Ring to deteriorate.

– If it is swallowed seek medical

advice.

Cleaning and care

Descaling

The appliance will need descaling after a certain number of operating hours. The display will alert you when this needs to be done. If, after selecting the programme j 5 appears for a short time in the display, then the appliance needs to be descaled.

The display indicates that the appliance can be used a further 5 times before it locks out. If the appliance is not descaled immediately a 4 will appear in the display the next time the appliance is switched on, and so on.

If the display shows a j 0 , the appliance is locked and an audible tone will sound.

The machine cannot be used until descaling has been carried out.

Cleaning and care

When descaling the oven, only use citric acid based descaling agents. Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions on the packaging. Do not use vinegar or descaling agents containing vinegar, as these can cause corrosion.

On aluminium fronted appliances (see dataplate) do not let descaling agent get onto aluminium surfaces. If this does happen it must be wiped off immediately as otherwise it will mark the surface.

A small j will appear in the display next to the symbol for descaling k and a running time of 33 minutes. At the same time the light bar between the

Stop and Start buttons will come on.

Procedure:

^ Using a proprietary household

descaling agent with a citric acid base, dilute with water to make 1.0 litre. Follow the manufacturer"s safety instructions given on the packaging.

Place the solution in the water container and push it into the machine until it engages in position.

Turn the programme selector to DESCALE k .

^ Press Start. ^ The descaling programme can only

be cancelled during the 1st minute

after pressing the Start button. A new

programme cannot be selected until

the descaling process has been

completed.

Do not adjust the function selector during the descaling process. If it is turned before the end of the process the whole process will have to be started from the beginning again.

When 8 minutes show in the display an audible tone will sound and the following will alternate in the display:

Cleaning and care

Take care when opening the door as hot steam will escape.

Take the water container out of the

appliance, empty it and dry it with a

soft cloth.

Wipe out the oven interior with an

absorbent cloth. Remember to wipe

down the ventilation outlet and the

drip channel.

Leave the door open until the

moisture in the cooking compartment

has dissipated and the interior is dry.

^ Empty the water container and refill it

with 1.0 litre of fresh water, reposition it in the appliance and shut

the door. ^ Press Start. This procedure must be repeated twice

more when the audible tone sounds. Do not be surprised at the amount of steam that is emitted.

At the end of the process the following will appear in the display:

Turn the programme selector to "0".

Wait until the appliance has pumped

any remaining water back into the

water container before opening the

door.

If there is a power cut during the descaling process, the time of 33 minutes will show again in the display once power has been restored and the light bars between the Stop and Start buttons will come on.

^ To continue the process press the

Start button again.

If the function selector is moved during a power cut , the display will remain dark after power has been restored and the light bar between the Stop and Start buttons will flash.
