Installation and connection

Warning and Safety instructions

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with current 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 appliance 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.

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.

The appliance must be installed

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

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct usage

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 resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation.

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.

Appliances with lift-up door:

Leave the lift-up door open whenever the appliance is being used.

Do not use the appliance without

the filter in the bottom of the cooking compartment 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".

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 heating up for the first time". 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 instructions. This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away, and do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

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 at all times.

Warning: Take care in the area around the door hinge. Danger of

injury. Keep children well away.

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 or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Before discarding an old

appliance, switch off and disconnect it from the power supply. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. This should be done by a competent person. Ensure the appliance prevents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

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 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.

The appliance is designed to

detect and then self-correct certain operational faults. If a fault is detected, the fault messages F06 to F95 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.

To protect your hands, use

heat-resistant pot holders or oven 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 scalding or burning yourself.

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 beep has stopped,

- the g symbol is flashing in the time display. 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.

If bottling, do not use temperatures

higher than 95 °C (90 °C if 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 immedi ately. Close the stopcock and disconnect from the mains electricity supply. Contact the Service Department. 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.

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 guarantee.

Futher safety notes

When using an electric socket near

the appliance, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the appliance 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.

Warning: Take care in the area

around the door hinge. Danger of injury.

Do not use plastic containers.

These melt at high temperatures.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment

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.

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 or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. If connected by a plug, the plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.

Before using for the first time

Setting the water hardness level

The steam oven is set at the factory to water hardness range IV (04) .

If your water hardness level differs from this you will need to re-programme the appliance. Proceed as described in "Programming".

You can use the test strip supplied to check the water hardness level, or your local water supplier will be able to advise you on the water hardness of your area.

The water hardness is shown as settings I to IV equivalent to the German scale 1 to >21 °dH (0.2 > 3.8 mmol/l).

Before using for the first time

Opening and closing the door

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.

To open the door:

Using the thumb of your right hand,

push the door release forwards and turn the handle upwards until the handle is in a horizontal position.

The oven door is now unlocked and can be opened.

To close the door:

Turn the handle to the horizontal

position. This ensures that the door lugs are lined up with those on the cooking compartment opening (see arrows).

^ Using your left hand, press firmly on

the door button.

^ Using your right hand, turn the

handle downwards until you hear it engage. While doing so, also push the door release forwards with your thumb. This vents the cooking compartment and makes it easier to close the door.
