Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not come
into contact with the door panel. This could cause permanent discolouration of the door panel.
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant.
Do not use ovenware that shows signs of rust. Even the
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 cooled.

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.

: Risk of scalding!
Hot steam may escape when the appliance door is opened. Open the appliance door carefully during or after cooking. When opening the door, do not lean over it. Ensure that, depending on the temperature, steam is not visible.

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.
