9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,  
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.  
Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or  
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors  
unattended.  
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,  
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the  
appliance.  
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-  
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and  
cause injury.  
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires  
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.  
Always place oven racks in desired location while  
oven is cool. Always use oven mitts, when the oven is  
warm. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do  
not let potholder contact the heating elements.  
WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN  
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE  
FOLLOWING:  
CAUTION  
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,  
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the  
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If  
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE  
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.  
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be  
burned.  
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths  
or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.  
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:  
To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance,  
ensure rack is installed exactly per installation  
instructions and not backwards or upside down.  
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders  
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do  
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not  
use a towel or other bulky cloth.  
WARNING  
You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,  
and you already know how to operate it.  
The fire is small and contained in the area  
where it started.  
The fire department is being called.  
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.  
Scalding hazard  
Movement when opening the appliance door and when  
removing the cookware can cause hot liquid to spray  
out. Do not stand too close to the appliance when  
opening it. Open appliance door carefully. Remove  
cookware carefully. Keep children away.  
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie  
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not  
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such  
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.  
Burn Prevention  
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR  
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements  
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior  
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause  
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let  
clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials  
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven  
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other  
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to  
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent  
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven  
doors.  
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol  
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.  
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a  
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in  
the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods,  
and open the oven door carefully.  
WARNING  
Risk of scalding  
Hot liquid may spill over the sides of cooking  
accessories when they are removed from the cooking  
compartment. Carefully remove cooking accessories  
with oven mitts.  
Exercise caution when opening the appliance.  
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly  
and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep  
your face clear of the opening and make sure there  
are no children or pets near the unit. After the release  
of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
Cleaning Safety  
WARNING  
Risk of severe burns! Do not clean the appliance  
Risk of scalding  
immediately after turning it off. The water in the  
evaporator dish is still hot. Wait until the appliance  
has cooled down.  
Hot steam can escape when you open the appliance  
door. Steam is not visible at certain temperatures. Do  
not stand too close to the appliance when opening it.  
Open the appliance door with caution. Keep children  
away.  
Keep oven free from grease build up.  
WARNING  
Risk of injury  
WARNING  
Scratched glass in the appliance door can burst. Do  
not use any glass scrapers or strong or abrasive  
cleaning agents.  
Risk of burns  
Hot steam can leak during operation. Do not touch the  
ventilation openings. Keep children away.  
WARNING  
Risk of electrical shock  
Child Safety  
Moisture entering the appliance can cause an  
electrical shock. Don't use a high-pressure cleaner or  
steam cleaner.  
When children become old enough to use the  
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents  
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in  
safe practices by qualified persons.  
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang  
on any part of an appliance, especially a door,  
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage  
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially  
causing severe injury.  
Cookware Safety  
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.  
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using  
cooking or roasting bags.  
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless  
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets  
should not be left alone or unattended in the area  
where the appliance is in use. They should never be  
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the  
appliance is in use.  
WARNING  
Risk of electric shock  
Use of a wrong core temperature probe can damage  
the insulation. Use only the core temperature probe  
intended for this appliance.  
CAUTION  
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone  
baking pans are not suitable for Combination mode.  
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an  
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the  
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to  
reach items could be seriously injured.  
When using Steam mode with a perforated cooking  
pan, always slide the baking pan underneath it. The  
pan will catch any drippings.  
The oven bottom and the evaporator dish must always  
remain clear. Always place ovenware on the rack or in  
the perforated cooking pan.

Do not detach the door seal. The appliance door  
will no longer close properly if the door seal is  
damaged. Adjoining furniture frontages may be  
damaged. Have the door seal replaced.  
Causes of damage  
NOTICES:  
Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door  
handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight  
of the device and could break off.  
Do not place anything directly on the oven floor.  
Do not line it with aluminum foil. Heat build-up  
can damage the appliance.  
The oven bottom should always remain clear.  
Always place dishes in a perforated baking pan or  
on a rack.  
Environmental protection  
We recommend you install a descaling system for  
hard mains water. You can inquire with your  
waterworks to obtain information about your  
mains water.  
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in  
line with environmental requirements.  
Aluminum foil may not contact the door pane in  
the oven. This can cause permanent discoloration  
of the door pane.  
Tips for saving energy  
Dishes must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone  
baking dishes are not suited for combination  
operation with steam.  
Open the appliance door as little as possible  
while cooking.  
Use dark, black-painted or enamelled baking  
forms. These absorb the heat particularly well.  
Use only original accessories in the oven interior.  
Rusting material (such as serving platters or  
knives and forks) can cause corrosion in the oven  
interior.  
It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The  
steam oven is still warm. This shortens the baking  
time for the second cake. You can also slide in  
two loaf tins next to each other.  
Use original small parts (e.g. knurled nuts) only.  
Reorder small parts through out spare parts  
service if these should be lost..  
For longer cooking times, you can switch off the  
steam oven 10 minutes before the end of the  
cooking time and you can use the residual heat to  
finish cooking.  
When steaming with a perforated baking dish,  
always push the baking sheet or the unperforated  
baking dish beneath it. This will catch drippings.  
When steaming, you can cook simultaneously on  
several levels. If dishes require different cooking  
times, insert the dishes that require the longest  
time first.  
Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for  
an extended period of time. It can lead to  
corrosion inside the oven.  
Salt, spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup or mustard) or  
salted dishes (e.g. cured roast) contain chlorides  
and acids. These corrode the surfaces of  
stainless steel. Always remove residues  
immediately.  
Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always  
remove fruit juice immediately and wipe up first  
with a damp and then a dry cloth.  
Your appliance's oven interior consists of high-  
grade stainless steel. Corrosion can occur in the  
oven interior if it is not cared for properly.  
Observe the care and cleaning notes in the  
operating instructions. After every use, clean the  
oven interior straight after the appliance has  
cooled down. After cleaning, dry the oven interior  
with the drying program.

After a removal  
Repeat calibration so that the appliance will  
automatically adapt again to the new location.  
Calibrating  
The boiling point of water depends on barometric  
pressure. As air pressure drops with increasing  
elevation, the boiling point drops as well. During  
calibration, the appliance sets the boiling point to the  
pressure conditions at the place where it is installed.  
After resetting to factory settings  
After resetting to factory settings in the basic settings  
menu the appliance has to be recalibrated.  
After a power failure  
It is important for the appliance to steam for  
20 minutes at 212° F (100°C) without interruption. Do  
not open the appliance door during this time.  
The appliance saves the calibration settings, even  
after a power failure or a disconnection from the  
mains. It need not be recalibrated.  
Notes  
Calibrate the appliance only when it is cold.  
Grease filter  
During calibration, the appliance generates more  
steam than it normally would do.

Core temperature probe  
Insert the core temperature probe in the food to be  
cooked before you place it in the oven interior.  
The core temperature probe enables exact cooking to  
the spot. It measures the temperature inside the food  
being cooked. Automatic switching off when the  
desired core temperature is reached ensures that  
each cooked food is cooked precisely.  
Insert the metal tip at the thickest point in the food  
you are cooking. Make sure that the end of the tip is  
approximately in the center. It must not be placed in  
the fat and must not touch any cookware or bones.  
Use the included core temperature probe only. You  
can purchase one as a spare part from after-sales  
service or in the online shop.  
If there are several pieces, insert the core  
temperature probe in the middle of the thickest piece.  
The core temperature probe is damaged at  
temperatures above 480°F (250°C). Therefore, only  
ever use it in your appliance at a maximum  
temperature setting of 445°F (230°C).  
Insert the core temperature probe completely, if  
possible.  
In the case of poultry, make sure that the tip of the  
core temperature probe is not in the cavity in the  
center, but in the meat between the belly and upper  
leg.  
Always remove the core temperature probe from the  
oven interior after use. Never store it in the oven  
interior.  
After every use, clean the core temperature probe with  
a moist cloth. Do not wash it in a dishwasher!

WARNING  
Risk of electric shock  
Use of a wrong core temperature probe can  
damage the insulation. Use only the core  
temperature probe intended for this appliance.  
9
WARNING  
Risk of burns  
The oven interior and the core temperature  
probe become very hot. Use oven mitts to plug

Tables and tips  
When steaming, defrosting, proofing dough, and  
reheating, you can use up to three slide-in levels  
at the same time (slide-in levels 2, 3, and 4 from  
the bottom). This way there is no taste transfer.  
This is how fish, vegetables, and dessert can be  
prepared at the same time. The cooking times  
specified may be longer with a large quantity of  
food.  
Notes  
The cooking times specified are intended as a  
guide. The actual cooking time depends on the  
quality and temperature of the food before  
cooking, the weight and thickness of the food to  
be cooked.  
Always preheat the appliance. Here's how to get  
the best cooking results.  
Baking can only be done on one level; for this,  
use the second level from the bottom.  
The cooking times specified refer to a pre-heated  
appliance. Cook the food approx. 5 minutes  
longer if the appliance is not pre-heated.  
Do not allow the food to touch the cooking  
compartment, grease filter or back wall of the  
oven.  
The specifications refer to average quantities for  
four people. If you would like to prepare more,  
you should calculate a longer cooking time.  
The steam baking oven door must close securely.  
Always keep the sealing surfaces clean.  
Use the cookware specified. If you use other  
cookware, cooking times may be longer or  
shorter.  
Do not crowd the grid and containers too tightly.  
This guarantees optimal steam circulation.  
Leave the grease filter in the appliance at all  
times.  
Begin with the shortest time specified if you have  
not made a dish before. If necessary, you can  
always cook the food longer.  
If you want to prepare dishes in steam and the  
appliance is hotter than 100°C (e.g. because  
something was baked in it previously), let the  
appliance cool off before steaming. Otherwise  
the dishes will dry out due to the excessive heat.  
Make sure to open the cooking compartment door  
of the pre-heated appliance only briefly and to fill  
the appliance quickly.  
If you are using only one cooking container, insert  
it on the second level from the bottom.  
Vegetables  
Vegetables are prepared more gently in steam  
Use the perforated cooking insert to steam  
vegetables, sliding it into the second level from  
below. Slide the unperforated cooking insert  
under it. You can use collect the vegetable juice  
and use it as the basis for a sauce or a vegetable  
broth.  
than in boiling water. Their taste, color and  
consistency are preserved better. Vitamins and  
ingredients that are soluble in water are hardly  
washed out. As the steam oven operates without  
pressure at only 212 °F (100°C), foods are  
prepared considerably more gently than in a  
pressure cooker, for example.  
Blanch vegetables for up to four minutes in the  
preheated appliance. If vegetables or fruits are  
not served straight away, quench them in icy  
water to prevent simmering in the residual heat.  
All data refers to 1 kg (about 2 lb) of cleaned  
vegetables.

Fish  
Steaming does not dry out fish and its intrinsic  
taste and texture are preserved very well.  
When using the perforated cooking receptacle:  
you can grease it lightly if fish should stick to it  
too easily.  
For reasons of hygiene, fish and other critical  
foodstuffs should have a core temperature of at  
least 143 - 149° F (62 - 65°C) after cooking. This  
is simultaneously the ideal cooking point.  
Insert the unperforated cooking insert in the first  
level from below to avoid extreme soiling of the  
oven interior with intensively smelling fish juice.  
Do not salt fish until after cooking it. This  
preserves the natural aroma and less water is  
extracted from the fish.  
In the case of fillets with skin: place the fish with  
its skin side pointing upward to preserve its  
structure and aroma.

Meat – cooking at higher temperatures  
The combination of steam and hot air is the  
optimum cooking process for many types of  
meats. In this mode of operation, the oven  
compartment is sealed hermetically and moisture  
prevents the drying-out effect of the conventional  
hot air. Thanks to variable humidity control, you  
can achieve the optimum climate for every food.  
When using the perforated cooking inserts or the  
rack, place an unperforated cooking receptacle  
beneath it. Pour some water into the unperforated  
cooking insert to prevent baking in. You can also  
insert vegetables, wine, spices and herbs to  
arrive at a tasty basis for sauces.  
If you would like to cook meat rare or medium-  
rare: open the door 5°C (approx. 40 °F) before  
the required core temperature has been reached  
and wait until the target temperature is reached.  
This prevents overcooking and you give the meat  
the time it needs to settle.  
The cooking times specified serve to help you  
orientate yourself and depend very much on the  
initial temperature of the food and the length of  
time it is browned. Use the core temperature  
probe for better control. You will find notes and  
optimum target temperatures in the section  
entitled Core temperature probe.  
Letting meat settle: let the meat settle for another  
10-15 minutes after cooking. In this way, the meat  
can "relax". Circulation of the meat juice  
diminishes and there are fewer losses of juice  
when cutting open the meat.  
Take meat out of the fridge one hour before  
preparing it.

Meat/poultry – slow cooking  
Vigorously browned meat matures over a longer  
time at a lower temperature. As a result, the meat  
evenly becomes gentle pink and extraordinarily  
juicy apart from a very thin edge. And it is neither  
necessary to turn the meat nor pour juice over it.  
Game tastes stronger after low-temperature  
cooking than when prepared by classical  
methods.  
Use the "Slow cooking" mode . The moisture  
escaping from the food stays in the cooking  
compartment and prevents drying out of prepared  
foods.  
The cooking times specified are only a  
recommendation and depend very much on the  
initial temperature of the food and the length of  
time it is browned. Use the core temperature  
sensor for better control. You will find notes and  
optimum target temperatures in the section  
entitled Core temperature sensor.  
Please note that you cannot achieve any core  
temperatures above the cooking compartment's  
temperature. As a rule of thumb: the set oven  
temperature should be 50 - 60°F (10-15 °C)  
above the desired core temperature.  
Take meat out of the fridge one hour before  
preparing it.  
You can reduce the temperature to 140°F (60 °C)  
towards the end of the cooking time. Thus, you  
can prolong the cooking time (for example, if  
guests arrive late). If you want to stop the cooking  
process, the interior temperature must not be  
higher than the desired core temperature. Thus,  
large pieces can stay in the oven for 1 - 1.5 hours,  
while small pieces can stay there for 30 -  
45 minutes.  
For hygienic reasons, sear the meat briefly at a  
high temperature in the pan from all sides before  
cooking it. As a result, a crust is produced that  
prevents leaking of the meat juice and ensures a  
typical roast aroma.  
Season carefully: slow maturing of the meat  
boosts all aromas.  
Serve food on preheated cookware.

The cooking times specified serve to help you  
orientate yourself and depend very much on the  
initial temperature of the food. Use the core  
temperature probe for better control. Do not  
place it in the middle (cavity), but between the  
belly and the thigh. You will find further notes and  
optimum target temperatures in the section  
entitled Core temperature probe.  
drying out which, especially in the case of poultry,  
is crucial. At the same time, the high temperature  
lends crispy browning to the surface. The heat  
transmitted by the hot steam is twice as high as in  
the case of conventional hot air and it reaches all  
parts of the food. This is why a chicken becomes  
browned and crispy all-round, and nevertheless  
the breast meat stays tender and juicy.  
If you season poultry mainly with spices and with  
little or no oil, the skin will become crispier.

Grilling  
Use the different grilling modes to further brown  
dishes.  
If the result is not strong enough you can move  
the dish up to level 2 in the grilling mode.  
Insert the dish on levels 1 to 3 (from below) when  
grilling.  
Preheat the oven for no more than 5 minutes  
when grilling or grilling with hot air since after  
5 minutes the required temperature has been  
reached.  
Use the different levels for the desired grilling  
effect. On level 1 from below the grilling effect  
will be lighter, on level 3 it will be stronger.  
Do not use the core temperature probe when  
grilling, grilling with hot air and grilling with  
humidity.

Cakes and cookies  
Using the steam oven, you can prepare your  
baked items with the optimum humidity:  
You can only bake on one level in the steam oven.  
Insert the unperforated cooking container into the  
second level from below. When using a high  
baking tin, place it on the wire rack, which you  
then insert in the first level from below.  
a | Convection + 0% Humidity:  
moisture can escape in the case of fruit cakes  
and quiche. This mode corresponds to hot air  
in the conventional oven.  
` | Convection + 30% Humidity:  
mixed cake does not dry out. The intrinsic  
humidity in a food cannot escape from the  
oven interior.  
_ - \ | Convection + 60 - 100% Humidity:  
puff pastry and yeast-risen pastries become  
looser on the inside and crispy on the outside  
with a gloss.  
Always leave the grease filter in place when  
baking.  
Misting brings additional steam to the food during  
baking with Convection + 0% Humidity or with  
Convection + 30% Humidity when touching the 2  
symbol. Use the misting function for example  
when baking bread at the beginning of the baking  
time and the bread will increase in volume and  
will get a crispy crust.

Regenerating (warming up)  
In the steam oven, you can generate the optimum  
climate for warming ready-cooked meals without  
them drying out. Thus, taste and quality are  
preserved, and meals taste like freshly prepared.  
The data refers to portions for one person. You  
can also warm up large quantities in the  
unperforated cooking insert. The specified times  
are lengthened.  
Use the "Regenerating" mode d to do this.

Raising dough  
The steam oven offers the ideal climate for raising  
dough and dough mixtures or dough pieces  
without drying them out.  
The bowl need not be covered with a moist cloth.  
Raising only takes half as much as it used to.  
The specified dough proofing time is for your  
orientation only. Raise dough until its volume has  
doubled.  
Use the "Dough proofing" mode V to do this.

such as berries or bits of meat. Fish need not  
thaw fully. It suffices if the surface is soft enough  
to absorb the spices.  
Thawing  
In the steam oven you can gently and evenly thaw  
deep frozen foods faster than at room  
temperature.  
9
WARNING  
Use the "Defrosting" mode W to do this.  
Health risk  
When thawing animal foodstuffs, it is imperative  
to remove the liquid that arises during thawing.  
It must never come into contact with other  
foodstuffs. Germs could be transmitted.  
Slide the unperforated cooking insert  
underneath the food. Pour away the collected  
thawing liquid from meat and poultry. Then  
clean the sink and rinse with plenty of water.  
Clean the cooking insert in hot soapy solution  
or in a dishwasher.  
The specified thawing times are for your  
orientation only. The time it takes to thaw  
depends on the size and weight of the frozen  
food: freeze your foods flatly or individually. This  
shortens the thawing time.  
Take foods out of the packaging before thawing  
them.  
Thaw only the amount you immediately need.  
Remember: in certain circumstances, thawed  
food does not keep so well and goes bad faster  
then fresh food. Immediately process thawed food  
and cook it thoroughly.  
After defrosting, operate the steam oven for  
15 minutes with Convection at 350 °F (approx.  
180°C).  
After half of the thawing time, turn meat or fish  
over fish or separate fragmentary frozen food

Boiling down  
In the steam oven, you can preserve fruit and  
vegetables without much effort.  
Check and conscientiously clean preserving jars,  
rubber rings, clamps and springs.  
If possible, boil down foodstuffs directly after  
shopping or harvesting. Prolonged storage  
reduces vitamin content and leads easily to  
fermentation.  
Disinfect rinsed jars before preserving in your  
steam oven at 212°F (100 °C) and 100% humidity  
for 20-25 minutes.  
Place preserving jars in the perforated cooking  
receptacles. They must not touch each other.  
Use only fruit and vegetables that are in a perfect  
state.  
Open the oven interior door after the cooking  
time has elapsed. Do not remove preserving jars  
from the oven interior until they have cooled down  
fully.  
The steam oven is not suitable for preserving  
meat.

Place the berries in the perforated cooking insert  
and slide it into the third level from below. Slide in  
the unperforated cooking insert one level below it  
to collect the liquid.  
You can then squeeze the berries dry in a  
dishtowel to preserve the last remainders of juice.

Preparing yoghourt  
You can prepare your own yoghourt in the steam  
oven.  
In the case of yoghourt ferment, pay attention to  
the notes on the packaging.  
Heat up pasteurized milk to 195°F (90°C) on the  
cook-top to avoid disturbing the yoghourt  
cultures. Ultra heat treated milk (UH milk) does  
not need heating. (Note: If you produce yoghourt  
with cold milk, this will prolong the maturation  
time.)  
Pour the yoghourt into rinsed jars.  
You can disinfect the rinsed jars in your steam  
oven at 212°F (100°C) and 100% humidity for 20 -  
25 minutes before pouring in the yoghourt. Make  
sure you allow the jars and the oven interior to  
cool down before you pour the yoghourt into the  
jars and place the jars in the appliance.  
Important! Allow the milk to cool to 105°F (40°C)  
in a water bath to avoid destroying the yoghourt  
cultures.  
After preparing it, place the yoghourt in the  
fridge.  
Stir natural yoghourt with declared yoghourt  
cultures into the milk (1 - 2 teaspoons of yoghourt  
for every 100 ml (approx. 2.1 pints)).  
To prevent the yoghourt from going sour, add  
skimmed milk powder (1 - 2 tablespoons per liter  
(approx. 2 pints) to the milk before heating it.

Preparing bulky food  
Acrylamide in foodstuffs  
Which foods are affected?  
You can remove the side slide-in racks to prepare  
bulky food.  
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato  
products that are heated to high temperatures, such  
as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine  
baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).  
To do this, undo the knurled nuts on the front of  
the slide-in racks and pull out the racks toward  
you (see section entitled Removing slide-in racks).  
Place the rack directly on the bottom of the oven  
interior and then place the food or the roaster on  
the rack. Do not place the food or the roaster  
directly on the bottom of the oven interior.  
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a mini-  
mum when preparing food  
General  
Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook  
meals until they are golden brown, but  
not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food  
contain less acrylamide.  
Baking  
With convection max. 355° F (180°C).  
Cookies  
Egg or egg yolk reduces the production  
of acrylamide. Spread out a single layer  
evenly on the baking tray.  
Oven fries  
Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking  
tray so that the fries do not dry out.
