Safety
~The steam oven should be installed
at a safe height for users to safely
access all cooking levels and
containers. Otherwise spills could
cause burns or scalding and children
may be put at risk by the hot appliance
door.
~Protect your hands with oven mitts

take care not to let the contents spill.
Danger of burns.
~The steam oven gets very hot when
in use and remains hot for some time
once turned off. Use caution.
~To avoid injuries allow the steam
oven to cool before cleaning and
putting on or taking off parts. Unplug
the steam oven from the outlet when not
in use and before cleaning.
~Do not heat unopened food
containers. Pressure can build up
causing an explosion that will damage
the cooking compartment. There is also
a danger of personal injury and
scalding.
~Do not store items on the appliance
when not in use. Items could melt or
catch fire from residual heat or if the
appliance is turned on inadvertently.

up to 212°F (100°C). Otherwise they
may melt at high temperatures in the
oven.
~Do not use items in the steam oven
which may rust. Danger of corrosion.
~The appliance is programmed so
that after each use residual water will
remain in the steam generator. If there
is no residual water there is a fault.

steam generator (water tank) into water
or attempt to wash the steam generator
in the dishwasher. Danger of electric
shock!
~Empty the steam generator after
every use for hygienic reasons and to
avoid condensate water in the
