Installation

Follow the separate tting instructions supplied

when installing the appliance.

Fitting the appliance

9

Check that the voltage on the rating plate

corresponds to the voltage in the home.

Ensure that the appliance oven cavity is empty

before tting.

Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Check

that the microwave oven door closes rmly against

the door support and that the internal door seal is

not damaged. Empty the appliance oven and clean

the interior with a soft, damp cloth.

Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged

mains cord, if it is not working properly, or if it has

been damaged or dropped. Do not immerse the

mains cord in water. Keep the cord away from hot

surfaces.

If the power cable is too short or damaged, it must

be replaced. The power cable must only be

replaced by a qualied technician in compliance

with the manufacturer’s instructions and current

safety regulations. Contact an authorised

After-Sales Service.

For installation to comply with current safety

regulations, an omnipolar disconnect switch with

minimum contact gap of 3 mm must be used.

Prior to connecting

The appliance can be operated only if the

appliance oven door is rmly closed.

The earthing of this appliance is compulsory. The

manufacturer will accept no responsibility for

injury to persons, animals or damage to objects

arising from the non-observance of this

requirement.

The manufacturers are not liable for any problems

caused by the user’s failure to observe these

instructions.

After connecting

. OPEN THE DOOR, remove the accessories and

ensure that the oven is empty.

RINSE THE WATER

CONTAINER with tap water (no detergents) and

then ll it to the “MAX” mark.

SLIDE THE WATER CONTAINER into its socket until it

engages in the contact point and sits rmly in

place.

.

RUN THE CALIBRATION FUNCTION and follow on screen

instructions.

NOTE

THE WATERPUMP responsible for lling and draining

the steam boiler is now activated. It will initially

sound louder during pumping of air, and lower

when water is lling the pump again.

THIS IS NORMAL, and no reason for alarm.

AFTER CALIBRATION, let the oven cool to room

temperature and then wipe dry any damp areas

if present.

EMPTY THE WATER CONTAINER and dry it o before

further use.

Before ﬁrst use

10

GENERAL

THERE ARE a number of accessories available on the

market. Before you buy, ensure that they are

suitable for cooking with steam and hot air in

combination.

PLACE A CONTAINER on the wire shelf. It can hold

greater weights than the baking tray or steam tray

can.

ENSURE THAT THERE IS a space of at least 30mm

between the upper rim of the container and the

cavity ceiling to allow sucient steam to enter the

container.

CHOOSING COOKING CONTAINER

USE PERFORATED COOKING containers whenever

possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The steam

has free access to the food from all sides and the

food is cooked evenly.

STEAM EASILY REACHES into the space between big

pieces of food such as large potatoes. This ensures

even and eective cooking. It enables a large

quantity to nish in the same amount of time as a

smaller quantity. Placing (spacing) food to allow

the steam even and easy access to individual

pieces of food enables it to be cooked in the same

amount of time as smaller quantities.

MORE COMPACT DISHES such as casseroles or bakes, or

food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have

very little or no space between them will take

longer to cook because the steam has less space in

which to work.

SPONGE

THE SUPPLIED SPONGE is used for wiping o residual

condensation that may be present in the cooled

oven after cooking. It is important that you allow

the oven to cool o to avoid scalding.

WIRE SHELF

THE WIRE SHELF allows hot air circulation around the

food. Put food directly on

it or use it as support for

pots, cake tins and other

cooking containers.

When you put food directly on the wire shelf, place

the baking & drip tray under it.

BAKING & DRIP TRAY

USE THE BAKING & DRIP TRAY beneath the wire shelf and

steam tray. It may also be used as a cooking utensil

or as a baking tray.

THE BAKING & DRIP TRAY is

used to collect the

dripping juices and

food particles that

otherwise would stain

and soil the interior of

the oven. Avoid placing vessels directly on the

oven oor.

Steam tray

USE THE STEAM TRAY for foods such as sh,vegetables

and potatoes.

USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE

STEAM TRAY for foods such

as rice and grains.

WATER CONTAINER

THE WATER CONTAINER IS LOCATED behind the door and is

accessible as soon as the door is opened.

ALL COOKING FUNCTIONS, except Forced

air, require the water container to be

full.

FILL WATER CONTAINER to the”MAX” mark

with tap water.

USE ONLY fresh tap water or still

bottled water. Never use distilled or ltered water

nor any other liquids in the water container.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPTY THE WATER CONTAINER AFTER

EACH USE. This is for hygienic reasons. It also prevents

condensate from building up inside the appliance.

CAREFULLY (i.e. slowly, so as not to spill) pull the

water container out of its compartment. Keep it

horizontal to allow remaining water to drain out of

the valve seat.

PROBE

Use only the temperature

probe recommended for

this oven.

THE PROBE IS DESIGNED to

measure the internal

temperature of your food

between the range of 30°C

and 100°C. As soon as the set

temperature is reached, the

appliance switches o and

displays ”Temperature

reached” in the display.

NEVER IMMERSE the probe in water when cleaning.

Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth or kitchen roll

after use.

Accessories

11

.

PLACE THE TEMPERATURE

PROBE in the food while it

is still on the

kitchencounter.

ENSURE that as much as

possible of the probe

length is inserted in

the food. This will

ensure a more

accurate temperature

reading.

.

PLACE the prepared

food in the oven.

.

FLIP THE PROBE LID BACK AND

connect the temperature

probe to the oven wall socket

and ensure that the cord is

free, including after the oven

door is closed. Both the socket

and probe plug are without

current.

TEMPERATURE COOKING

THE TEMPERATURE PROBE should

normally be inserted so that

the tip of the probe is

positioned in the thickest part

of the food, as this is the part

that takes the longest time to

heat.

THE TIP OF THE PROBE must not

touch any bones which the

food may contain.

Also, avoid inserting the probe

in fatty areas of the food as these areas heat up

more quickly, giving misleading end temperatures.

The probe should, if possible, be positioned so that

the tip does not touch the walls or the bottom of

the cooking vessel.

THE TEMPERATURE which is set must be higher than

the current temperature of the food.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to use the probe when making

sweets, jam or marmalade, or dishes which need to

be cooked or simmered for a long period. This is

because the highest temperature which can be set

is 100°C.

NEVER IMMERSE the probe in water when cleaning.

Simply wipe clean with a clean, damp cloth or

kitchen roll after use.

THE OVEN MUST NOT BE OPERATED with the temperature

probe in the cavity if it is not plugged into the

oven.

If you do operate the oven without complying with

the above, you will damage the probe.

ONLY USE THE FOOD PROBE SUPPLIED or recommended by

the After-Sales Service. Other brands on the

market will not give proper results and may

damage your oven.

CHICKEN

WHEN THE PROBE is used to roast

chicken, the tip should be

positioned in the thickest part

of the chicken, i.e. on the

inside of the thigh just behind

the leg. It must not touch any

bones.

LAMB

WHEN COOKING A LAMB

JOINT / LEG OF LAMB,insert

the tip of the probe into

the thickest part so that

it does not touch the

bone.

PORK

WHEN COOKING PORK, e.g.

pork shoulder,

gammon, silverside,

etc, the probe should

be inserted into the

‘end’ of the joint rather

than through the layer of fat on the surface. Avoid

placing the tip of the probe in fatty areas of the

pork.

FISH

THE PROBE CAN BE USED

WHEN COOKING WHOLE,

LARGE FISH, such as pike

or salmon. Insert the tip

of the probe in the

thickest part, not too close to the backbone.

.

PRESS THE OK BUTTON.

.

PRESS THE START BUTTON.

BEFORE USING THIS FUNCTION,

ENSURE that the water container is lled with fresh tap water.

CALIBRATION

THE BOILING TEMPERATURE OF WATER depends on air pressure. It boils more easily at high altitudes than at sea

level.

DURING CALIBRATION, the appliance is automatically congured to the current pressure ratios at the present

location. This may cause more steam than usual – this is normal.

AFTER CALIBRATION

LET THE OVEN COOL and wipe dry the damp parts.

RECALIBRATION

USUALLY the calibration is carried out once and should be enough if the oven is permanently installed in a

house.

HOWEVER, if you have installed your appliance in a mobile home or similar, moved to another town or in any

other way altered the altitude where it is installed, it must be recalibrated before use.
