Control panel

The water container and the conden-
sate container are located behind the
control panel. The panel is opened and
closed by touching the  sensor but-
ton. Before the control panel closes au-
tomatically, a note appears in the dis-
play, which you must confirm with OK.
The control panel is equipped with anti-
trapping protection. If the control panel
senses resistance when opening/clos-
ing, the process is canceled. Do not
touch the upper edge of the door when
the panel is opening and closing.

Water container

The maximum filling volume is 6 cups
(1.4 l) and the minimum is 4 1/4 cups
(1.0 l). There are markings on the water
container. The upper marking must
never be exceeded.
Water consumption depends on the
type of food and the cooking duration.
The water may need to be topped up
during cooking. Water consumption is
increased if the door is opened during
cooking.
Fill the water container to the maximum
level before each cooking program in-
volving steam.

Condensate container

Condensate that collects in the appli-
ance from cooking is pumped into the
condensate container. The container
has a maximum capacity of 6 cups

Description of functions

Temperature

Some operating modes have a preset
recommended temperature. The recom-
mended temperature can be altered
within the given range for an individual
cooking program, a program stage, or
for every time that program is used. You
can alter the recommended tempera-
ture in 5°F/5°C increments, or 2°F/1°C
increments in sous-vide cooking (see
"Settings – Recommended tempera-
tures").

Moisture

The  operating mode
Combi Steam
and Reheat  application use a com-
bination of oven heat and moisture. The
moisture level can be selected within
the given range for an individual pro-
gram or a specific program stage.
Depending on the moisture setting,
moisture or fresh air is supplied to the
oven compartment. With the moisture
setting = 0%, the maximum fresh-air
supply is implemented and no moisture
is supplied. With the moisture set-
ting = 100%, there is no fresh-air supply
and the moisture content is at its maxi-
mum.
Some food gives off moisture during
the cooking process. This moisture
from the food affects the amount of ad-
ditional moisture needed. If the required
amount of moisture is low, the steam
generator may not be activated at all.
