Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.
To avoid risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before installation and before using it for the first time. They contain important notes on the safety, operation and care of the appliance.
The use of the appliance by the elderly or infirm, or those who have not used the appliance before, should be supervised by a competent and responsible person to avoid the risk of injury.
Stick the extra data plate supplied with the appliance in the space provided later in these instructions under "After sales service, data plate".
Keep these instructions in a safe place, and pass them on to any future user.
Installation and connection
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.
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.

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.
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 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.
11
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.
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.
15
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).
