Caution: Risk of burns!

▪ The appliance gets very hot when in

use. The appliance door also gets hot.

▪ Steam and/or hot air may escape from

the cooking space when the appliance
door is opened.

▪ The appliance will remain hot for some

time after it is switched off and will only
cool down slowly to room temperature.
Allow sufficient time for the appliance
to cool down before, for instance,
cleaning it.

▪ Overheated fat and oil can easily catch

fire. Heating oil in the cooking space to
sear meat is dangerous and should not
be done. Never attempt to extinguish
burning oil or fat with water. Danger of
explosion! Smother the flames with a
fire blanket. Keep doors and windows
closed.

▪ Do not pour spirits (brandy, whisky,

schnapps, etc.) over hot food. Danger
of explosion!

▪ Do not leave the appliance unattended

when drying herbs, bread, mushrooms,
etc. If the foodstuff dries out too much,
it can pose a fire hazard.

▪ If you notice smoke possibly coming

from the appliance itself or from inside
the cooking space, keep the appliance
door closed. Disconnect the appliance
from the power supply.

▪ Accessories get hot in the cooking

space. Use protective gloves or oven
cloths.

Caution: Risk of injury!

▪ Be careful not to put fingers in the door

hinges, there is otherwise a risk of in­jury if the appliance door is moved.
Particular care should be taken when
children are around.

▪ Only leave the appliance door open in

the at-rest position. An open appliance
door poses a danger of tripping or in­jury! Do not sit or rest on the appliance
door or use it as a storage surface.

▪ For hobs: A hob guard can be fitted to

protect small children. Hob guards are
available from specialist retailers.

Caution: Risk to life!

▪ Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging

material, e.g. plastic film and poly­styrene, away from children. Packaging
material can be dangerous for children.

How to avoid damaging the appliance

▪ Close the appliance door carefully.
▪ For appliances with visible bottom

heating element: Do not place any ob­jects directly on the bottom heating ele­ment.

▪ Do not use protective aluminium in-

serts with appliances with no visible
bottom heating element.

▪ Do not use objects that can rust in the

cooking space.

▪ Using knives or cutting wheels on the

baking tray will visibly damage the sur­face.

▪ To prevent corrosion, leave the appli-

ance door open in the at-rest position
until the cooking space has cooled
down.

▪ When cleaning the appliance, make

sure no water gets inside it. Use a
moderately damp cloth. Do not spray
the outside or the inside of the appli­ance with water. If water gets inside the
appliance, it will cause damage.

10 Care and maintenance

Risk of burns from hot surfaces!

You should allow the appliance and the accessories to cool before cleaning.

Do not reach into the water tank compartment if the following appears in the dis­play: «Please do not remove the water tank».

Improper use can result in damage to the appliance!

Do not use any abrasive or caustic cleaning agents, metal scrapers that are
sharp or scratch, steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, etc. These products will
damage the surfaces. Glass surfaces that are scratched can crack.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

10.1 Cleaning the exterior

▸ Remove any soiling or excess cleaning solution immediately.
▸ Clean the surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little washing-up li-

quid – for metallic surfaces rub in the direction of the original polish lines.

▸ Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

10.2 Cleaning the cooking space

Improper use can result in damage to the appliance!

Do not bend the temperature sensor.

▸ Any condensate or food particles must be completely removed after each cooking

session with steam.

▸ Place the stainless steel tray under the perforated cooking tray or wire shelf when

cooking to catch food particles and condensate.

▸ Remove any soiling from the cooking space while still hand warm. Use a soft cloth

dampened with water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

25

10 Care and maintenance

▸ To remove dried-on soiling more easily, switch the appliance on for about 30

minutes beforehand, setting it to the operating mode and a temperature of
80°C. This will soften the soiling.

▸ For stubborn soiling, e.g. chicken, clean the cooking space when cold with a grease-

dissolving spray cleaner or cream cleaner in accordance with the manufacturers' in­structions.

Over time with use, the cooking space can turn a shimmering rainbow colour or
the surface can turn slightly matt. Neither the cooking and baking properties of
the appliance nor its operation is affected.

These discolourations can be removed using a non-abrasive cream cleaner.

Condensate residue can be removed using a mildly acidic cleaning agent or cit­ric acid.

10.3 Cleaning the appliance door

▸ Clean the appliance door with a soft cloth dampened with water and a little washing-

up liquid.

▸ Dry with a soft cloth.

Removing the appliance door

Risk of injury from moving parts!

Be careful not to put fingers in the door hinges. The appliance door is heavy.
When removing and reassembling the appliance door, hold it firmly at the sides
with both hands.

▸ Open the appliance door as far as it will go.
▸ Fold the clips 2 on both door hinges 1 forward.

10.4 Cleaning the door seal

▸ Clean the door seal with a soft cloth dampened with water, but do not use any clean-

ing agent.

▸ Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

10.5 Replacing the door seal

For safety reasons, the door seal must be replaced by our Customer Services.

10.6 Cleaning the accessories and shelf guides

Incorrect handling can cause damage!

Do not clean the water tank in the dishwasher.

▪ The stainless steel tray, the perforated cooking tray and the shelf guides can be

cleaned in the dishwasher.

▪ Watermarks in the water tank can be removed using a standard descaler (do not

use washing-up liquid!).

▸ If the water tank valve drips, descale it.

Removing the shelf guides

▸ Unscrew the knurled nuts 1 in the front of

the shelf guides in an anti-clockwise dir­ection.

▸ Pull the shelf guides 2 to the side of the

screws and remove from the front.

Reassembling the shelf guides

▸ Insert the shelf guides into the openings in the back wall of the cooking space and

position on the screws. Place the knurled nuts on the screws and tighten securely in
a clockwise direction.

10.7 Descaling

How it functions

Whenever steam is produced, depending on the hardness of the local water supply (i.e.
the limescale content of the water), limescale is deposited in the boiler.

The appliance automatically detects and indicates when descaling is necessary.

– After pressing the touch button and finishing a cooking process, the following ap­pears in the display:

Would you like to descale the appliance now?

You must accompany the process.

27

10 Care and maintenance

We recommend descaling the appliance whenever the warning appears in the
display. Continued to descale the appliance will likely impair its functions or
cause damage to the appliance. Descaling takes about 45 minutes.

Descaling interval

The time interval between descaling depends on the hardness of the water and fre­quency of use. If steaming 4× 30 minutes per week, the appliance must be descaled –
depending on water hardness – roughly as follows:

Water hardness Descale after about

Hard 5 months

Medium 8 months

Soft 12 months

Read remaining operating time

The remaining steam operating time until the next descaling process can be read in the
user settings under «Descaling».

Descaler

durgol swiss steamer

Using the wrong descaler can damage the appliance!

Only use «durgol swiss steamer» to descale your appliance. The descaler con­tains highly effective acid. Immediately rinse away any splashes with water. Fol­low the manufacturer's instructions.
