When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
▶
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot.
▶
Never place cookware containing water on the
cooking compartment floor.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
▶
Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use. To
do this, open the cooking compartment door com-
pletely or use the drying function.
▶
Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.
▶
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
▶
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
door.

damages the enamel.
▶
Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment

If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam-
age the front of adjacent kitchen units.

2.2 Steam
Follow these instructions when using the steam func-
tion.
ATTENTION!
Silicone bakeware is not suitable for combined opera-
tion with steam.
▶
Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant.
Using cookware with rust spots may cause corrosion in
the cooking compartment. Even the smallest spots of
rust can cause corrosion.
▶
Do not use cookware with rust spots.
Dripping liquids make the cooking compartment floor
dirty.
▶
When steaming with a perforated cooking container,
always place the baking tray, the universal pan or
the unperforated cooking container underneath. This
will catch any liquid that drips down.
Hot water in the water tank may damage the steam
system.
▶
Only fill the water tank with cold water.
If there is water on the cooking compartment floor
when operating the appliance at temperatures above
120 °C, this will damage the enamel.
▶
Do not use the appliance if there is water on the
cooking compartment floor.
▶
Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment
floor before operation.
A lot of steam is produced during operation with the
types of steam heating. Condensate that collects in the
drip trough underneath the cooking compartment may
overflow and damage adjacent units.
▶
Do not open the appliance door, or open it as infre-
quently as possible, while the appliance is in opera-
tion.
If descaling solution comes into contact with the control
panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them.

it.
▶
Do not clean the water tank in the dishwasher.
▶
Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and standard
washing-up liquid.
If several steam operations are carried out one after
the other without wiping out the cooking compartment
floor and the condensate tray afterwards in each case,
the water collected may overflow and may damage fur-
niture panels or bases.
▶
Wipe down the cooking compartment floor and the
condensate tray after every steam operation.
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
