Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also 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 it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Before using for the first time
20
Setting the water hardness level
The steam oven is set at the factory to the hard (S04) water hardness setting. It must be adjusted to local water hardness to ensure problem-free operation and so that descaling can be carried out at the correct interval. The harder the water, the more often the appliance will need to be descaled.
^
Check the hardness of your local water supply and adjust the water hardness as necessary (see "Settings").
Setting the correct boiling point for water
Before cooking food for the first time, you must set the boiling point for water, as this varies according to the altitude of the location of the appliance. This procedure adjusts the appliance to the altitude in your area and also flushes out the waterways.
This process must be carried out to ensure efficient functioning of your appliance.
^ Run the appliance at 100 °C for 15 minutes. Proceed as
described in "Brief operating instructions".
If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than 300 m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care / Descaling").
Before using for the first time

This section contains general information about steam cooking. You will find more detailed information about particular foods and how to cook them in the other sections.
The advantages of cooking with steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is not immersed in water.
Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food retains its fresh, orginal colour.
Suitable containers
Cooking containers
This steam oven is supplied with stainless steel cooking containers.
Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (please refer to "Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose the most suitable container for the food you are preparing.
It is best to use perforated containers if possible. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.
Your own containers
You can also use your own containers. Please note:
–
If using plastic cooking containers, make sure that they are heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to withstand hot steam. With plastic containers please check with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use in a steam oven.
–
Thick-sided containers made from porcelain, china or stoneware, for example, are not so suitable for steam cooking. They do not conduct heat well and as a result cooking durations will be considerably longer than those given in the charts.
General notes
27
Cooking duration (time)
In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More information about any factors which may affect the cooking duration is given in the relevant sections.
The quantity of food does not affect the cooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 500 g.
The durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time it can be put back in the oven and cooked for longer.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking container2/3full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes
Food and recipes which are prepared in pot or a pan can also be cooked in the steam oven. The cooking times in the steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be brown or crisp when cooking with steam.
