To avoid sickness and food waste when using automatic time baking:

• Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start, such as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, custards, fish, pork, poultry, or foods with stuffing.

• Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold or frozen before it is placed in the oven.

Important Safety Instructions

Getting Started

Important Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before using the steam oven.

Getting Started

• Use this oven only indoors and for its intended use as described in this manual. Never use your oven for warming or heating the room. This is based on safety considerations.

• Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The oven must be installed and electrically grounded according to local codes.

• The oven should only be installed and operated in a room with a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C). In the event of frost, there is a danger that residual water left in the pumps can freeze, causing damage.

• Before using the newly installed oven, follow the steps that should be taken before operating the oven for the first time.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this oven unless specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorized service agency.

• Children should not be left alone in the kitchen while the oven is in use.

CAUTION

Do not store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Do not use the oven if it is visibly damaged and/or there is visible smoke coming from the oven. Keep door closed and immediately disconnect from electrical supply.

• Always position oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact hot heating element in oven.

• Use care when opening and touching oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Do not touch glass window on door. Hot air or steam can cause burns to hands, face, and/or eyes. Do not sit or rest on the oven door.

• Keep oven vents unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the front of the oven and vents into the room. In ProBake cooking, steam may escape from the steam vent.

• Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

• Allow sufficient time for the oven to cool before cleaning. Use a damp soft cloth to remove any residual water in the bottom of the oven cavity. Do not use steam cleaners or spray the inside or outside of the oven with water.

• No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease buildup.

• Packaging material can be dangerous. Danger of suffocation! Dispose of packaging material according to local regulations.

• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch surface areas. Do not use towel or bulky cloth.

• Keep area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids. Never use your oven as a storage space. Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. Do not pour spirits over hot foods. Do not leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire hazard.

• Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.

• Keep this use and care manual for future reference. If you sell the oven or pass it on to a third party, make sure the use and care manual accompany the installation instructions.
