The appliance must be connected by an authorised specialist. No warranty claims can be lodged for any damage resulting from incorrect connection. Observe the installation instructions. Thoroughly clean the appliance before using it for the first time. This will eliminate any `newness' smells and soiling. This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EG concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment  WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable.
Avoiding Damage to the Appliance and the Cabinet Steam Oven and Cabinet Fronts
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the steam oven. Do not take off the door seal. A damaged door seal must be changed immediately. After taking the food out of the oven, allow the oven to cool down with the door closed. Do not leave the oven door half open, the hot air can cause damage to adjacent cabinets. The cooling fan will continue to run for a while and will then switch off automatically.
Avoiding Damage to the Oven Interior
The interior of your new steam oven is made out of high grade stainless steel. However, lack of care and maintenance might cause corrosion. Observe the following tips to avoid corrosion in the oven. No warranty claims can be lodged for any damage resulting from non compliance with these notes.
· · · · · · ·
Clean the oven interior after it has cooled down. After cleaning, use the drying function to dry the oven interior. Aggressive cleaners may cause corrosion. Only use hot soapy water to clean the oven interior. Use the cleaning function. Do not use oven cleaner or caustic cleaners. Do not use cleaners containing chloride. Salt in the oven reacts aggressively. Salt residues on the oven interior may cause spots of corrosion. Always remove residues immediately. Spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup, mustard) and salted food (e.g. salted roasts) contain chloride and acids. These act aggressively on stainless steel. Always clean the oven interior after use. Only use original accessories in the oven interior. Rusting materials (e.g. serving plates, cutlery) may cause corrosion of the oven interior. Only use original small parts (e.g. knurled nuts). Order small parts from our after-sales service, should you loose any.
