: Safety precautions

Read these instructions for use carefully. Please keep the instructions for use and installation instructions in a safe place. If the appliance changes owners, the instructions should always be included.

Safety notes

This appliance is intended for domestic use only. This appliance must only be used for food preparation.
Adults and children must not operate the appliance without supervision,
if they are physically or mentally incapable of doing so or
if they have insufficient knowledge or experience.
Never let children play with the appliance.

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.

Risk of burns!

Never touch the interior surfaces of the cooking compartment or the heating elements when they are hot. Small children must be kept at a safe distance from the appliance.

Risk of fire!

Never store combustible items in the cooking compartment.

Risk of fire!

When preheating, never place greaseproof paper unsecured on the accessories. Draughts are created when the appliance door is opened. Greaseproof paper may ignite when in contact with very hot surfaces. Always use a plate or a baking tin to hold the greaseproof paper down. Only cover the required surface with greaseproof paper. The greaseproof paper must not extend over the edge of accessories.

Risk of scalding!

Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will create hot steam.

Risk of short circuit!

Never trap connecting cables of electrical appliances in the hot appliance door. The cable insulation could melt.

Risk of burning!

Never prepare food containing large quantities of drinks with a high alcohol content. Alcoholic vapours can catch fire in the cooking compartment. Only use small quantities of drinks with a high alcohol content and take care when opening the appliance door.

Risk of electric shock!

Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out by one of our trained aftersales engineers. If the appliance is defective, pull out the mains plug or switch off the appliance at the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Call the aftersales service.

Causes of damage

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.
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. Silicone baking
tins are not suitable for combined operation with steam.
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.
Fruit juice may leave stains in the cooking compartment.
Always remove fruit juice immediately and wipe the cooking compartment with a moist and dry cloth.
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.

Risk of burning!

Never remove hot accessories or ovenware from the cooking compartment without oven gloves.

Risk of scalding!

Do not clean the appliance immediately after switching it off. The water in the evaporator dish is still hot. Wait until the appliance has cooled down.

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.
