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).

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.

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.

9

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, the 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 as a built-in

appliance. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

This appliance is intended exclusively for domestic use. It

should not be used for commercial purposes.

Only use the appliance to prepare 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.

10

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.

11

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.

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.

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.

12

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.

13

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.

14

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

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

^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.

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:

^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.

17

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.

18

Use

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.
