Description of the functions

Water container

The maximum water level is 2.0 litres,
the minimum 0.5 litre. These levels are
indicated on the container on the han‐
dle side. Do not exceed the maximum
level.
The amount of water used will depend
on the type of food and the duration of
cooking. Water will sometimes need to
be replenished during the cooking
process. Water consumption is in‐
creased if the door is opened during
cooking.
Fill the water container to the maximum
level before each use.
At the end of the cooking programme
residual water in the steam generator is
pumped back into the water container.
The water container must be emptied
after each use.

Condensate tray

When using perforated containers,
place the condensate tray on the lowest
shelf level to collect any drops of liquid
and allow them to be removed easily.
You can also use the condensate tray
as a cooking container if necessary.

Temperature

Some functions have a default recom‐
mended temperature. This temperature
can be altered for the programme in
use, or for every time that programme is
used (see "Settings - Recommended
temperatures").

Duration

You can set a duration of between 1 mi‐
nute (00:01) and 10 hours (10:00). If the
duration exceeds 59 minutes, you have
to enter it in hours and minutes. Exam‐
ple: Duration 80 minutes = 1:20.

Noises

You will hear a pumping sound when
the appliance is switched on, during
use and after switching it off. This is the
sound of water being pumped through
the system and is quite normal.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.
