Adjusting the steam oven settings
Several oven features can be adjusted by selecting the
settings menu on the display screen. Many of these
features can be adjusted when the oven is first installed or
after a move to a new location.
1. Press SETTINGS.
2. Press the right < or > and press ENTER to adjust any
of the following settings:
– Country code
– Temperature units
– Weight units
– Calibration
– Water hardness
– Descale
– Steam clean

Cleaning the oven using the steam mode
Before using the steam oven for the first time, heat it once
while it is empty:
1. Fill and slide in the water tank.
2. Turn the mode knob to STEAM and press ENTER.
3. Press the right < or > and set the cooking time for 20
minutes.
4. Once completed, leave the door cracked open until
the oven cools.
This initial cleaning will also calibrate the steam oven to
the air pressure at your location. Calibration produces
more steam than ordinary use.

Operating the steam oven

Using seven of the eight modes available in your steam
oven requires similar steps. Using a steam program is
somewhat different and is described separately starting
on page 44 .
Setting the steam oven
1. Place food in steam oven before preheat unless using
slow cook or true convection modes. In slow cook or
true convection modes place food in oven after steam
oven has been preheated.
– Food needs to be in the oven during preheat for
steam modes because if the door is opened to put
food inside after the preheat cycle then the steam
will leave the cavity, lowering the temperature,
which may cause the food to be undercooked.

2. Turn the mode ring to the desired heating mode.
3. If temperature control is possible in the mode you
choose, turn the temperature knob to the desired
temperature. The desired temperature will be
displayed.

to terminate the beep and timer.
After cooking with a steam-producing mode
1. Remove and empty the water tank.
2. Dry the seal of the tank lid and the slot.
3. Using the high density sponge provided with your
range (or a comparable soft sponge or cloth), wipe
out the oven and remove any remaining water so that
the evaporator dish in the bottom of the oven is dry.
IMPORTANT:
• Remove food residue and spills from the oven
immediately after the appliance has cooled down.
• Salts are very abrasive and can cause rust spots. The
steam oven cavity can rust if not properly cared for.
• The water tank is NOT dishwasher safe.
Operation of the cooling blower
• The cooling blower activates immediately for any of
the steam oven modes.
• If steam oven modes that use steam are switched off,
the cooling blower stays on for 10 minutes
independent from the oven temperature before
shutting off.
• If the door is opened during a mode that uses the
steam function, the cooling fan will cycle on and off
five-six times in succession to purge the excess steam.
