9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,  
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.  
Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or  
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors  
unattended.  
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,  
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the  
appliance.  
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-  
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and  
cause injury.  
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires  
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.  
Always place oven racks in desired location while  
oven is cool. Always use oven mitts, when the oven is  
warm. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do  
not let potholder contact the heating elements.  
WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN  
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE  
FOLLOWING:  
CAUTION  
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,  
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the  
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If  
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE  
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.  
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be  
burned.  
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths  
or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.  
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:  
To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance,  
ensure rack is installed exactly per installation  
instructions and not backwards or upside down.  
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders  
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do  
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not  
use a towel or other bulky cloth.  
WARNING  
You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,  
and you already know how to operate it.  
The fire is small and contained in the area  
where it started.  
The fire department is being called.  
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.  
Scalding hazard  
Movement when opening the appliance door and when  
removing the cookware can cause hot liquid to spray  
out. Do not stand too close to the appliance when  
opening it. Open appliance door carefully. Remove  
cookware carefully. Keep children away.  
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie  
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not  
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such  
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.  
Burn Prevention  
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR  
INTERIOR SURFACES OF 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, potholders, or other flammable materials  
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven  
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other  
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to  
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent  
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven  
doors.  
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol  
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.  
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a  
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in  
the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods,  
and open the oven door carefully.  
WARNING  
Risk of scalding  
Hot liquid may spill over the sides of cooking  
accessories when they are removed from the cooking  
compartment. Carefully remove cooking accessories  
with oven mitts.  
Exercise caution when opening the appliance.  
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly  
and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep  
your face clear of the opening and make sure there  
are no children or pets near the unit. After the release  
of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
Cleaning Safety  
WARNING  
Risk of severe burns! Do not clean the appliance  
Risk of scalding  
immediately after turning it off. The water in the  
evaporator dish is still hot. Wait until the appliance  
has cooled down.  
Hot steam can escape when you open the appliance  
door. Steam is not visible at certain temperatures. Do  
not stand too close to the appliance when opening it.  
Open the appliance door with caution. Keep children  
away.  
Keep oven free from grease build up.  
WARNING  
Risk of injury  
WARNING  
Scratched glass in the appliance door can burst. Do  
not use any glass scrapers or strong or abrasive  
cleaning agents.  
Risk of burns  
Hot steam can leak during operation. Do not touch the  
ventilation openings. Keep children away.  
WARNING  
Risk of electrical shock  
Child Safety  
Moisture entering the appliance can cause an  
electrical shock. Don't use a high-pressure cleaner or  
steam cleaner.  
When children become old enough to use the  
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents  
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in  
safe practices by qualified persons.  
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang  
on any part of an appliance, especially a door,  
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage  
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially  
causing severe injury.  
Cookware Safety  
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.  
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using  
cooking or roasting bags.  
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless  
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets  
should not be left alone or unattended in the area  
where the appliance is in use. They should never be  
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the  
appliance is in use.  
WARNING  
Risk of electric shock  
Use of a wrong core temperature probe can damage  
the insulation. Use only the core temperature probe  
intended for this appliance.  
CAUTION  
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone  
baking pans are not suitable for Combination mode.  
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an  
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the  
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to  
reach items could be seriously injured.  
When using Steam mode with a perforated cooking  
pan, always slide the baking pan underneath it. The  
pan will catch any drippings.  
The oven bottom and the evaporator dish must always  
remain clear. Always place ovenware on the rack or in  
the perforated cooking pan.  
6
 
     
Do not detach the door seal. The appliance door  
will no longer close properly if the door seal is  
damaged. Adjoining furniture frontages may be  
damaged. Have the door seal replaced.  
Causes of damage  
NOTICES:  
Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door  
handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight  
of the device and could break off.  
Do not place anything directly on the oven floor.  
Do not line it with aluminum foil. Heat build-up  
can damage the appliance.  
The oven bottom should always remain clear.  
Always place dishes in a perforated baking pan or  
on a rack.  
Environmental protection  
We recommend you install a descaling system for  
hard mains water. You can inquire with your  
waterworks to obtain information about your  
mains water.  
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in  
line with environmental requirements.  
Aluminum foil may not contact the door pane in  
the oven. This can cause permanent discoloration  
of the door pane.  
Tips for saving energy  
Dishes must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone  
baking dishes are not suited for combination  
operation with steam.  
Open the appliance door as little as possible  
while cooking.  
Use dark, black-painted or enamelled baking  
forms. These absorb the heat particularly well.  
Use only original accessories in the oven interior.  
Rusting material (such as serving platters or  
knives and forks) can cause corrosion in the oven  
interior.  
It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The  
steam oven is still warm. This shortens the baking  
time for the second cake. You can also slide in  
two loaf tins next to each other.  
Use original small parts (e.g. knurled nuts) only.  
Reorder small parts through out spare parts  
service if these should be lost..  
For longer cooking times, you can switch off the  
steam oven 10 minutes before the end of the  
cooking time and you can use the residual heat to  
finish cooking.  
When steaming with a perforated baking dish,  
always push the baking sheet or the unperforated  
baking dish beneath it. This will catch drippings.  
When steaming, you can cook simultaneously on  
several levels. If dishes require different cooking  
times, insert the dishes that require the longest  
time first.  
Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for  
an extended period of time. It can lead to  
corrosion inside the oven.  
Salt, spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup or mustard) or  
salted dishes (e.g. cured roast) contain chlorides  
and acids. These corrode the surfaces of  
stainless steel. Always remove residues  
immediately.  
Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always  
remove fruit juice immediately and wipe up first  
with a damp and then a dry cloth.  
Your appliance's oven interior consists of high-  
grade stainless steel. Corrosion can occur in the  
oven interior if it is not cared for properly.  
Observe the care and cleaning notes in the  
operating instructions. After every use, clean the  
oven interior straight after the appliance has  
cooled down. After cleaning, dry the oven interior  
with the drying program.

Calibrate the appliance before steaming for the first  
time. The appliance sets the boiling point.  
After a removal  
Repeat calibration so that the appliance will  
automatically adapt again to the new location.  
Calibrating  
The boiling point of water depends on barometric  
pressure. As air pressure drops with increasing  
elevation, the boiling point drops as well. During  
calibration, the appliance sets the boiling point to the  
pressure conditions at the place where it is installed.  
After resetting to factory settings  
After resetting to factory settings in the basic settings  
menu the appliance has to be recalibrated.  
After a power failure  
It is important for the appliance to steam for  
20 minutes at 212° F (100°C) without interruption. Do  
not open the appliance door during this time.  
The appliance saves the calibration settings, even  
after a power failure or a disconnection from the  
mains. It need not be recalibrated.  
Notes  
Calibrate the appliance only when it is cold.  
Grease filter  
During calibration, the appliance generates more  
steam than it normally would do.  
Hook the enclosed grease filter onto the hot air grill in  
the side wall of the cooking compartment.
