Before using for the first time Setting the water hardness The steam oven is set at the factory to water hardness setting IV (Very hard 4). If your water hardness level differs from this, you will need to re-programme the appliance. You can use the test strip supplied to check the water hardness level, or your local water supplier will be able to advise you on the water hardness of your area. The water hardness is shown as settings I to IV equivalent to the German scale 1 to >21 °dH (0.2 >3.8 mmol/l).
Before using for the first time Cleaning and heating up for the first time Open the door by pressing on the left hand side of the door release. The door will open slightly. Take the water container out of the appliance and remove the insert (see "Cleaning and care"). Rinse the water container and the insert thoroughly by hand using hot water. Do not use any washing-up liquid or detergent. Do not clean the water container or the insert in a dishwasher. Do not immerse the water container in water.
Operation Before each use Operating sequence ^ When using a perforated cooking container, place the condensate tray on the floor of the oven to catch any drips. To make a selection you turn the function selector, and to confirm your selection you press it. ^ Fill the water container. You do not need to remove the insert. Only use mains tap water. Never use distilled or mineral water. The water level must be between the two markings (min. 0.75 l and max. 1.2 l).
Operation Switching on and setting a temperature ^ Switch the appliance on by pressing the function selector briefly. "100°C" will appear in the display. "°C" will start flashing. Recommended temperature 100 °C: For cooking food which can be cooked at higher temperatures, such as meat, vegetables, casseroles, soup and bakes. Also suitable for reheating food. 85 °C: For gently cooking more delicate food such as fish. 60 °C: For defrosting.
Operation Setting a cooking duration After confirming the temperature, 3 zeros will appear in display and "h" will start flashing. ^ Set the required duration, e.g. 20 minutes, by turning the function selector.

You can follow the rising temperature of the cooking compartment in the temperature display.
Operation At the end of the cooking duration At the end of the set cooking duration, an audible tone will sound, 3 zeros will appear and "h" will flash in the display. ^ Switch the appliance off by pressing the function selector. The fan will continue to run for a while after the oven has been switched off. If you want to reduce the run-on time, you can do so by removing the water container as soon as you have switched the appliance off. Steam will escape when the door is opened.
Practical tips Suitable containers Some stainless steel cooking containers are supplied with the appliance. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, are available as optional extras. When choosing the most suitable container for the particular food you are cooking, please note: – Use perforated cooking containers whenever possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.
Practical tips Heat-resistant glass, ceramic, porcelain, plastic, stainless steel and enamel dishes are all suitable. Important: – If using plastic cooking containers, make sure that they are heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to withstand hot steam. – Food will take considerably longer to cook than the time quoted if the dish has thick sides. 22 – Place the container on the rack supplied.

Practical tips Tips on steaming – In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. – Steam prevents food from drying out so it remains moist, and juices are not lost. This applies to a wide variety of food, including dumplings, steam puddings, fish and meat dishes, as well as vegetables. – You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration.
Practical tips – Grease perforated containers beforehand if using them to cook fish, and solid containers if using to cook dishes containing eggs. – Yeast dough can be put in the oven to rise. Cover the dough. – When cooking fish or food with a distinctive colour (e.g. spinach) in a perforated container, place the container directly above the condensate tray to avoid any transfer of tastes or colour to other food.
Practical tips Reheating Food to be reheated Duration in minutes Your steam oven is very effective at reheating dishes which have been prepared previously. Proceed as follows: Vegetables Cauliflower, runner beans 2 Carrots, kohlrabi 2 Side dishes ^ Place the food on a flat plate and cover it with a deeper plate or some heat-resistant foil. Dumplings, potatoes (halved) 3-4 ^ Select and confirm a temperature of 100 °C. Pasta, rice 2-3 ^ Set the duration (see chart).
Practical tips Defrosting Food to be defrosted Weight in g Temp.
Practical tips Frozen food can be defrosted in this appliance in much less time than when defrosting at room temperature. Proceed as follows: ^ Place the food in a suitable container or on the rack. ^ Select the temperature (see chart). ^ Select the defrost duration (see chart). Tips on defrosting – All meat and poultry should be fully defrosted before cooking.
Practical tips Bottling Produce Proceed as follows: Temp. in °C Duration in minutes* Apples 90 50 Apple sauce/stewed apples 90 65 Red / Blackcurrants 80 50 Gooseberries 80 55 Fruit with stones 85 55 Obst ^ Place the condensate tray on the floor of the cooking compartment and place the rack on top of the condensate tray. ^ Place a maximum of 4 prepared jars (all the same size) on the rack, ensuring that they do not touch one another.
Practical tips Cooking whole meals It is very economical and practical to cook a whole meal at the same time in the steam oven. Proceed as follows: ^ Place cooking containers on different levels or place them side by side or one on top of the other on the rack. In general, cooking durations will vary according to the type of food. This means that you will need to open the steam oven at different times to add a particular dish.
Practical tips Blanching Preparing yoghurt You can use your steam oven to blanch vegetables and fruit for freezing. Proceed as follows: Proceed as follows: ^ Put the prepared vegetables/fruit (cleaned, washed, chopped etc.) into a perforated cooking container. ^ Select and confirm a temperature of 100 °C. ^ Set and confirm a duration of 1 minute. ^ Once blanched, plunge the vegetables/fruit into ice cold water to cool them down quickly. Drain them well. The vegetables/fruit can now be frozen.
Practical tips Disinfecting baby bottles Proceed as follows: The steam oven can be used to disinfect baby bottles and other containers. Check beforehand that all parts, teats etc., are declared by the manufacturer to be heat-resistant to 100 °C. ^ Place the condensate tray on the floor of the cooking compartment and place the rack on top of the condensate tray. ^ Dismantle, clean and thoroughly rinse the bottles and space the individual parts out on the rack, ensuring that they do not touch one another.
