smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the cooking
compartment.

■ When steaming with a perforated cooking container, always

insert the baking tray or the solid cooking container
underneath. Dripping liquid is caught.

■ Do not store moist food in the closed cooking compartment

for long periods. It can lead to corrosion in the cooking
compartment.

■ If the door seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer

close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units
could be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean and
replace when necessary.

■ Do not place anything on the open appliance door. The

appliance could be damaged.

■ Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The

door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance, and
could break.

■ The cooking compartment in your appliance is made of high

grade stainless steel. Improper care can lead to corrosion in
the cooking compartment. Refer to the care and cleaning
instructions in the instruction manual. Remove food residues
from the cooking compartment as soon as the appliance has

Using the " button, you can set your appliance for various
different applications.

Type of heating Application

Steam 35 - 100 °C For vegetables, fish, side dishes, for juicing fruit and for blanching.
Reheat 80 - 100 °C For plated meals and baked items.

Cooked food is gently reheated. The steam ensures that the food does not dry out.

Prove 35 - 50 °C For yeast dough and sour dough.

Dough will prove considerably more quickly than at room temperature. The surface of the
dough does not dry out.

Defrosting 35 - 60 °C For vegetables, meat, fish and fruit.

The moisture gently transfers the heat to the food. The food does not dry out or lose
shape.

Cooking compartment

The cooking compartment has four shelf heights. 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.

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.

Notes about the programmes

All programmes are designed for cooking on one level.
The cooking result can vary according to the size and quality of

the food.
Ovenware

Use the suggested ovenware. All meals have been tested using
this ovenware. The cooking result may change if you use
different ovenware.

When cooking in the perforated cooking container, always
insert the baking tray at level 1. Dripping liquid is caught.

Amount/weight
Do not fill the food more than 4 cm deep in the accessories.

The automatic programmes require the weight of the food. With
individual pieces, always enter the weight of the largest. The
total weight must be within the specified weight range.

Cooking time
After the programme is started the cooking time is displayed. It
may change during the first 10 minutes, as the heating-up time
depends, among other things, on the temperature of the food
and the water.

Defrosting

When freezing, lay the food as flat as possible and in portion­sized pieces at -18 °C. Do not freeze excessively large
quantities. Once defrosted, food will not keep for as long and
spoils more quickly than fresh food.

Leave the food to defrost in the freezer bag, on a plate or in the
perforated cooking container. Always insert the solid cooking
container underneath. The food is then not left lying in the
defrost water and the cooking compartment remains clean.

All defrost programmes apply to raw food.
If necessary, the meal can occasionally be split apart or pieces

which have already defrosted can be removed from the
appliance.

After defrosting, allow the food to stand for a further 5 -

15 minutes to come up to room temperature.

: Health risk!

When defrosting food from animal sources, you must remove
the liquid that escapes during defrosting. It must never come
into contact with other food. Bacteria could be transferred.

After defrosting, operate the steam oven for 15 minutes at
100 °C using the Steam type of heating.

Defrosting fish fillet
Do not place the fish fillets on top of each other.

Defrosting whole poultry
Remove the packaging before defrosting. Leave the poultry to
stand after defrosting. With large poultry (e.g. small turkeys),
you can remove the giblets after approximately 30 minutes
standing time.

Defrost meat
With this programme you can defrost individual joints of meat.

Only thaw fruit (not defrost)
If you only wish to thaw the fruit slightly, you can make an
individual adjustment to the cooking result.

Environmental protection

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an
environmentally-responsible manner.

Environmental protection

This appliance is labelled in accordance with the
European Directive 2002/96/EU concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE –
waste electrical and electronic equipment). The
guideline determines the framework for the return
and recycling of used appliances as applicable.

Tables and tips

Steaming is a particularly gentle way of cooking food. The
steam surrounds the dish thereby preventing a loss of nutrients
from the food. Cooking takes place without overpressure. As a
result, the shape, colour and typical aroma of the dishes are
retained.

The tables contain a selection of dishes which are particularly
suitable for your steam oven. You can find out which type of
heating, accessories, temperature and cooking time are best to
select. Unless otherwise stated, the information given applies to
inserting accessories when the appliance is cold.

Accessories

Use the accessories provided.
When steaming in the perforated cooking container, always

insert the solid cooking container underneath. Dripping liquid is
caught.

Cookware

When using ovenware, always place it in the middle of the
perforated cooking container.

Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Cooking times are
increased if thick-walled ovenware is used.

Food which would normally be prepared in a bain marie should
always be covered with foil (e.g.when melting chocolate).

Cooking time and quantity

The cooking times when steaming depend on the item size, but
do not depend on the total quantity. The appliance can steam
food to a maximum of 2 kg.

Tips for saving energy

■ Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the recipe or

in the operating instructions table.

■ Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible while

the food is cooking.

■ When steaming, you can cook on several levels at the same

time. When preparing foods with different cooking times,
those with the longest cooking time should be placed in the
oven first.

Follow the unit sizes given in the tables. The cooking time is
reduced for smaller pieces and increased for larger ones.
Cooking time is also influenced by the quality and ripeness of
the food. The values quoted can therefore only serve as a
guideline.

Distributing food evenly

Always distribute the food evenly in the ovenware. It will not
cook evenly if the layers are of different depths.

Pressure-sensitive food

When layering delicate foods in the cooking container, do not
pile them too high. It is better to use two containers.

Cooking a menu

With steam, you can cook a whole menu at once, without the
different flavours mixing. Place the food with the longest
cooking time in the appliance first and delay the rest until the
appropriate time. This means that all the food will be ready at
the same time.

The overall cooking time is extended with menu cooking, as a
little steam escapes each time the appliance door is opened
and has to be reheated.

Vegetables

Place the vegetables in the perforated cooking container and
insert at level 3. Always insert the solid cooking container
underneath at level 1. Dripping liquid is caught.

Defrosting

When freezing, lay the food as flat as possible and in portion­sized pieces at -18 °C. Do not freeze excessively large
quantities. Once defrosted, food will not keep for as long and
spoils more quickly than fresh food.

Leave the food to defrost in the freezer bag, on a plate or in the
perforated cooking container. Always insert the solid cooking
container underneath. The food is then not left lying in the
defrost water and the cooking compartment remains clean.

Use the Defrost type of heating.
If necessary, the meal can occasionally be split apart or pieces

which have already defrosted can be removed from the
appliance.

After defrosting, allow the food to stand for a further
5 - 15 minutes to come up to room temperature.

: Health risk!

When defrosting food from animal sources, you must remove
the liquid that escapes during defrosting. It must never come
into contact with other food. Bacteria could be transferred.

After defrosting, operate the steam oven for 15 minutes at
100 °C using the Steam type of heating.

Defrost meat
Allow pieces of meat which are to be breadcrumbed to defrost
to the point where seasoning and breadcrumbs adhere to the
meat.

Defrosting poultry
Remove from packaging before defrosting. You must tip the
defrost liquid away.

Preserving

Preserve food which is as fresh as possible. When foods are
stored for a relatively long period, their vitamin content is
reduced and they ferment and spoil more easily.

Only use fruit and vegetables which are in perfect condition.
The following foods cannot be preserved with your appliance:

Contents of tins, meat, fish or pastry dough.
Check preserving jars, rubber rings, clips and springs.

Clean rubber rings and jars thoroughly with hot water. The
"Sterilise bottles" programme is also suitable for cleaning
glasses.

Place the jars in the perforated cooking container. They must
not be in contact with each other.

After the specified cooking time, open the appliance door.
Do not remove the preserving jars from the appliance until they

have completely cooled down.
