Ensure they are correctly fitted after cleaning and never operate the steam oven without the shelf runners fitted.

13

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mate rial

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for dispos al, and can normally be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufactur ing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. 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.

Disposing of your old appli ance

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

Please dispose of it at your local com munity waste collection / recycling cen tre.

Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stor ed for disposal.

Description of the functions

Temperature

All functions have a default recommen ded temperature. The recommended temperature can be altered for the pro gramme in use, or for every time that programme is used (see "Settings").

The recommended temperature can be altered in 5 °C or 1 °C increments. If you want to change the temperature in 1 °C increments you will have to change the factory default setting (see "Settings").

Duration

You can set a duration between 1 mi nute (:) and 9 hours 59 minutes (:). If the duration exceeds 59 mi nutes you have to enter it in hours and minutes. Example: Duration 80 minutes = 1:20.

Noises

A buzzing sound can be heard after switching on the appliance, during op eration and after switching off the appli ance.

This is not a fault. It is made by water being pumped through the system.

Heating-up phase

During the heating-up phase the oven compartment is heated to the set tem perature. The display will show the tem perature of the oven compartment as it rises.

The duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the food. In general the heating-up phase will last for approx. 5 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.

Cooking phase

The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is reached. During the cooking phase, the duration remaining will be shown in the display.

Cooling down phase

The cooking process finishes with a cooling down phase.

During the cooling down phase a scroll ing bar graph will appear in the func tion / temperature display. The cooling down phase lasts about 1 minute. With large amounts of food it could take lon ger.

Pull-out shelf

Before opening the appliance door, pull the shelf out. It can then be used for resting dishes on. It will also catch any droplets of hot water from containers.

18

Using for the first time

Setting the water hardness lev Opening the door el

The water hardness level of the steam oven is set to "Very hard" at the factory. For trouble-free operation of the steam oven, and to ensure that it is descaled at the appropriate time, it is important to set the water hardness level for your area. The harder the water, the more of ten the steam oven must be descaled.

Check which water hardness level has been set and, if necessary, set the correct water hardness (see "Set tings - Water hardness").

Setting the correct boiling point for water

Using the thumb of your right hand, push the door release forwards and turn the handle upwards.

When it is in a horizontal position, the door is unlocked and can be opened.

The boiling point for water depends on the altitude above sea level.

The steam oven is set ex-works for an installation location of under 1000 m. If it is located at more than 1000 m above sea level, the factory default setting will have to be changed (see "Settings").

19
