Description of the functions

Water container

The maximum filling volume is 1.5 litres
and the minimum is 0.5 litre. 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.
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
allows these to be removed easily.
You can also use the condensate tray
as a cooking container if necessary.

Temperature

Some functions are allocated with a
recommended temperature. The
recommended temperature can be
altered within the given range for an
individual cooking programme or
programme stage, or for every time that
programme is used You can alter the
recommended temperature in 5 °C
increments, or 1 °C increments in sous-
vide cooking (see "Settings –
Recommended temperatures").

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
duration 80 minutes = 1:20.
During steam cooking, the cooking
duration does not begin until the set
temperature is reached.

Noises

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.
