Important information about the use of the appliance Ovenware Do not use the cooking compartment door as a shelf. Do not store any food in the appliance. This can lead to corrosion. Use only the accessories provided. They are specially designed for your appliance. Caution. When steaming in the perforated cooking container, always insert the baking tray/solid cooking container underneath. Dripping liquid is caught. Always place ovenware on the wire rack or in the perforated cooking container. Caution. The evaporator dish must not be covered. Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone baking tins are not suitable for combined operation with hot air and steam. Do not use ovenware that shows signs of rust. Even the smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the cooking compartment. Care and cleaning 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. Salts are very abrasive. If salt is deposited in the cooking compartment, rust could develop in places. Acidic sauces, such as ketchup and mustard, or salted foods, e.g. cured roasts, contain chloride and acids. These affect the stainless steel surface. Clean the cooking compartment after each use. 7 Causes of damage Very dirty seal If the seal on the outside of the cooking compartment is very dirty, the cooking compartment door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Keep the seal clean. Do not stand or sit on the cooking compartment door. Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot hold the weight of the appliance and may break off.

The resulting operating noises are normal. After cooking 15 Automatic calibration The boiling temperature of water depends on the air pressure. During calibration, the appliance is set to the pressure ratios at the place of installation. This occurs automatically when steaming for the first time at 100 ºC. This causes more steam to develop than usual - this is normal. So that the appliance automatically adjusts itself to the new local altitude again, you must reset the appliance to the factory settings. See the Basic settings section for more details.

Automatic programmes You can prepare food particularly easily with the automatic programmes. There are 11 programme groups with a total of 52 programmes. Notes about the programmes All programmes are designed for cooking on one level. The cooking result can vary according to the size and quality of the food. Ovenware Use the suggested ovenware. All meals have been tested using it. The cooking result will change if you use different ovenware. When cooking in the perforated cooking container, always insert the baking tray at level 1. Dripping liquid is caught. 28 Amount Do not fill the food more than 4 cm high in the accessories. Some programmes require the weight of the food. Ensure that it is within the specified weight range. Preparing rice/millet Rice: Weigh the rice and add 1.5 times the amount of water. Stir after cooking. The remaining water is quickly absorbed. Millet: Add 3 times the amount of water to the millet and pour in the millet to a maximum level of 2.5 cm. Stir after cooking. The remaining water is quickly absorbed. Cooking fish When preparing fish, grease the perforated cooking container. Do not place whole fish, fish fillets or fish fingers on top of each other. Cooking poultry Do not place chicken breasts or thighs on top of each other in the ovenware. Marinate the chicken thighs beforehand, if desired. Plaited loaf: Leave the yeast dough to prove in the combination steam oven for half an hour at 40 ºC. Stewed fruit: the programme is only suitable for fruits with stones and kernels. Weigh the fruit and add approx. D of the amount of water and sugar, according to taste. Rice pudding: weigh the rice and add 2.5 times the amount of milk. Do not fill the rice and milk more than 2.5 cm high in the accessories. Stir after cooking. The remaining milk is quickly absorbed. Baked goods Preparing desserts Defrosting If possible, freeze the food flat and in portions at -18 ºC. Do not freeze huge quantities. All defrost programmes apply to raw food. d When defrosting food from animal sources, you must remove the liquid that escapes during defrosting. It must never come into contact with other food. 29 Fish fillet: do not place the fish fillets on top of each other. Whole poultry: remove the packaging before defrosting. Leave the poultry to stand after defrosting. With large poultry (e.g. small turkeys), you can remove the giblets after approximately 30 minutes standing time.
