Description of functions

Water container

The maximum filling volume is 1.5 litres
and the minimum is 0.5 litres. There are
markings on the water container. The
upper marking must never be ex-
ceeded.
Water consumption depends on the
type of food and the duration of cook-
ing. The water may need to be topped
up during cooking. Water consumption
is increased if the door is opened dur-
ing cooking.
The water container is removed using a
push/pull system: push gently on the
water container to remove it.
At the end of a cooking programme, hot
water left in the steam generator is
pumped back into the water container.
The water container must be emptied
after each use involving steam.

Condensate tray

Place the condensate tray on shelf level
1 when using perforated containers.
This collects any drops of liquid and al-
lows these to be removed easily.
You can also use the condensate tray
as a cooking container if necessary.

Temperature

Some functions have a pre-set recom-
mended temperature. This temperature
can be altered for a single programme,
a specific programme stage or within
the given range for a programme. You
can alter the recommended temperat-
ure in 5 °C increments, or 1 °C incre-
ments in sous-vide cooking (see "Set-
tings – Recommended temperatures").

Cooking duration

You can set the cooking duration from
1 minute (00:01) to 10 hours (10:00). If
the cooking duration exceeds
59 minutes you have to enter it in hours
and minutes. Example: Cooking dura-
tion 80 minutes = 1:20.
During steam cooking, the cooking dur-
ation does not begin until the set tem-
perature is reached.

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.
