 Due t

o the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam oven when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the steam oven to heat up the room.

 Grilling

food for an excessively long time can cause it to dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed recommended grilling times.

 Some types of food d

ry out quickly and can self-ignite if high grill temperatures are used. Never use the grill to finish baking part-cooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Use Fan plus  or Conventional heat  for this type of procedure.

 T

o avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke occurs inside the appliance. Interrupt the process by switching the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed.

 If

using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire on hot heating elements.

 Never cover the floor of the oven with aluminium foil, or place

oven dishe

s, pans, saucepans or trays directly onto the floor of the

oven.

 Never use the ove

n without the filter in the bottom of the oven in place. It will prevent coarse food residues from blocking the drainage system and the pump.

 T

o prevent the risk of damage do not leave the food probe in the

oven when it is not being used.

Warning and Safety instructions

 When using

a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender, near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Description of functions

Control panel

The water container and condensate conta

iner are located behind the control panel. The control panel is opened and closed using the  sensor. The panel is fitted with a device which will automatically stop it moving if it meets an obstruction whilst opening or closing. Do not touch the door handle whilst the panel is opening or closing!

Water container

The maximum water level is 1.4 litres, the mini

mum 1.0 litre. These levels are indicated on the container. Do not exceed the maximum level.

The amount of water used will depend on the type of food and the d

uration of cooking. Water will sometimes need to be replenished during the cooking programme. Water consumption is increased if the door is opened during cooking.

Fill the water container to the maximum level

before each use.

Condensate container

Condensate that collects in the appliance fr

om cooking is pumped into the condensate container. The container has a maximum capacity of

1.4 litres.

Grease filter

Fit the grease filter in the back wall for all r

oasting programmes. It should be removed when using steam programmes. It must also be removed when baking, as otherwise results can be uneven. (Exception: fit the grease filter in the back wall when baking open deep fresh fruit flans, e.g. plum or damson or pizza with lots of topping).

Food probe

The food probe measures the core t

emperature in the food, enabling the temperature during the cooking process to be monitored simply and accurately.

Temperature / Core t

emperature

Some functions have a default r

ecommended temperature. This temperature can be altered within the given range for the programme or programme stage in use, or for every time that programme is used (see "Settings - Recommended temperatures"). The core temperature can also be changed within a given range for an individual cooking process or cooking stage.

Description of functions

Moisture

The Combi mode and Reheat functions use a combination of oven heat and moistur

e. You can alter the moisture level within a given range for an individual cooking programme or a cooking stage.

Depending on the moisture setting for the programme, either moisture or fresh air is injected into the oven. If the moisture level is set to 0 %, the maximum amount of air will be injected and no moisture. If the moisture level is set to 100 %, air will not be injected into the oven and the maximum amount of moisture will be injected.

Some food gives off moisture during the coo

king process. This moisture from the food also controls the amount of moisture needed. If the required amount of moisture is very low and the food already contains a lot of water the steam generator may not be activated at all.

Duration

Depending on the function, you can set a cook

ing duration of between 1 minute and 6, 10 or 12 hours. The duration of the Automatic, Maintenance and Menu cooking programmes is set at the factory and cannot be altered.

With the Steam cooking

function and programmes that use steam alone, the cooking duration does not start to count down until the set temperature has been reached. It begins immediately with all other functions and programmes.

Noises

You will hear a pumping sound when the appliance is switched on, during use and aft

er switching it off. This is the sound of water being pumped through the system and is quite normal.

When the steam oven is in use, you will hear a fan noise.

Description of functions

Heating-up phase

During the heating-up phase the display will show the t

emperature in the

cooking compartment as it rises and

Heating-up phase in all programmes

except for Automatic progs., Menu

cooking and Maintenance.

When cooking with steam, the duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the quantity and the t

emperature of the food. In general the heating-up phase will last for approx. 7 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are cooking refrigerated or frozen food.

Cooking phase

The cooking phase begins when the set t

emperature is reached. During the cooking phase, the duration remaining will be shown in the display.

Steam reduction

With steam cooking and combi coo

king, the steam reduction function will switch on automatically at the end of a cooking programme which uses a temperature within a certain temperature range. This reduces the amount of steam which escapes when the door is opened. Steam reduction will appear in the display in addition to

Process finished.

This function can be switched off if you wish (see "Settings - S

team reduction").

Oven interior lighting

For energy saving reasons, the oven compar

tment lighting has been set at the factory to go out after the programme has begun.

If you want it to stay on all the time the oven is o

n you will need to alter the default setting (see "Settings Lighting").

If the door is left open at the end of a coo

king programme the oven lighting will switch off automatically after 5 minutes.
