Automatic calibration

The boiling temperature of water depends on the air pressure. During calibration, the appliance is adapted to the pressure conditions in the location where it is installed. This happens automatically when you first use the appliance (see section: First use). More steam develops than usual.

It is important that the appliance steams without interruption for 20 minutes at 100 °C. Do not open the appliance door during this time.

If the appliance was not able to calibrate itself automatically (for example, because the appliance door was opened), the calibration process is carried out again during the next cooking operation.

After moving house

So that the appliance automatically adjusts itself to its new location, you must reset the appliance to the factory settings (see section: Basic settings) and repeat the initial start-up process (see section: First use).

After a power cut

The appliance saves the calibration settings even in the event of a power cut or disconnection from the mains. Recalibration is not necessary.

Your accessories

The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for making many dishes. Ensure that you always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.

Accessories

The following accessories are supplied with your appliance:

Wire rack

For ovenware, cakes and ovenproof dishes, and for roasting

Cooking container, perforated, GN Y, 40 mm deep

For steaming vegetables, juicing berries and defrosting

Cooking container, solid, GN Y, 40 mm deep

For cooking rice, pulses and cereals

Cooking container, perforated,

GN Z, 40 mm deep

for the steaming of whole fish or large quantities of vegetables, for juicing berries, etc.

Cooking container, solid, GN Z, 28 mm deep (baking tray)

For baking tray bakes and for catching dripping liquid during steaming

You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from specialist retailers or online.

Note: The cooking containers may warp during and after cooking. This is caused by the considerable temperature differences acting on the accessories. It may occur if only a part of the accessory is occupied with food or if you place frozen items, such as pizza, on the accessory. Once accessories cool down again, they regain their original shape. This does not affect their function.

7

Inserting accessories

The accessories are equipped with a locking function. The locking function prevents the accessories from tilting when they are pulled out. The accessories must be inserted into the cooking compartment correctly for the tilt protection to work properly.

When inserting the wire rack, check

■that the lug (a) is pointing downwards

■that the safety lug on the wire rack is at the back and facing

upwards.

When inserting the cooking container, ensure that the lug (a) is facing downwards.

Cooking compartment

The cooking compartment has four shelf positions. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom up.

Caution!

■Do not place anything on the cooking compartment floor. Do not cover it with aluminium foil. A build-up of heat could damage the appliance.

The cooking compartment floor and the evaporator dish must always be kept clear. Always place ovenware in a perforated cooking container or on a wire rack.

■Do not slide any accessories between the shelf positions, or they may tip.
