The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts.

Operation of the fans generates a normal air flow which comes out above the door and may continue for a short time even after the oven is switched off.

10.6 Inside light

The oven light comes on:

• when the oven door is opened in standby status (point "8.2 Operating settings") or;
• when the function knob is turned to any function.

If the oven door is left open, the oven light will automatically shut-off after 10 minutes.

11 RECOMMENDED COOKING TABLES

For more detailed information about cooking refer to the following tables. The suggested times and temperatures are guideline values. The actual cooking time can vary according to the type and quality of the foods.

The levels indicated in the last column of the tables are explained in the following picture.

The perforated container with the food should preferably be inserted into the level 2. In this case it is important that the non-perforated container is introduced into the level 1. This way, dripping liquids are collected and the appliance does not get dirty.

To remove the rack, lift it upwards slightly at the front when the safety notches connect with the sides of the oven (see illustration).

We recommend using the rack together with the baking tray when cooking items on the rack which might drip.

11.12 Two level cooking

Some suggestions:

When cooking with two levels the accessories should be always inserted in the 2nd or 3rd level and in the 1st level.

Different cooking times are controlled this way:

Foods that need a longer cooking time should be placed in the upper area of the oven. Foods with a shorter cooking time should be placed on the 1st level.

One example: Vegetables, potatoes and fish.

Place the vegetables and potatoes in any suitable container on the rack inserted in the 2nd or 3rd level.

Insert the fish in the 1st level.

When using the perforated tray to cook fish, the non-perforated tray must be inserted in the bottom of the appliance to collect liquid dripping from the fish. This way the appliance is kept clean.

Time: Vegetables and potatoes 25-35 Min.

Time: Fish - depending on type - 15-25 Min.

Select the longest cooking time. Because of the different levels the food is ready at the same time, without any over cooking.

12 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

12.1 Descaling

Whenever steam is produced, irrespective of the hardness of the local water supply (i.e. the limescale content of the water), limescale is deposited inside the steam generator.

The time interval between descending depends on the hardness of the water and frequency of use. If steaming 4 × 30 minutes per week, the appliance must be descaled (depending on water hardness) roughly as follows:

WATER HARDNESS	LEVEL NO.	DESCALE AFTER ABOUT
VERY SOFT	SOFT	18 MONTHS
MEDIUM	PED	9 MONTHS
VERY HARD	HARD	6 MONTHS

The appliance automatically detects when descending is necessary and when this happens the Descale light turn on. If the Descaling procedure is not performed, some cooking cycles after the Descale light starts to flash. If once again the Descaling procedure is not performed, some cooking cycles after the oven functioning is blocked, the Descale light stays on and the display shows "CAL" blinking. The oven keep being blocked until the descale procedure is performed

To run a descale cycle proceed as described in 10.3.2 Descale function.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to descale the appliance will likely impair the functioning of or cause damage to the appliance.

12.2 Suitable descending solutions

For descending use suitable solution, as Durgol or liquid coffee machine descending solutions for example. Solutions containing foam agents are not appropriate.

Warning! Do not use vinegar or vinegar-based products as they can cause damage to the oven's internal circuit.

12.3 Descaling Process

Please see point 10.3.2

12.4 Cleaning the oven

The steam oven cavity and front surface must be cleaned after each use. All food remains and condensed water must be removed (see section on Oven Cleaning). If the steam oven is not kept clean its surface may deteriorate and this may shorten the oven's working life.

For ease of cleaning, the shelf guides can be removed (see the following chapter).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't wash the water tank in the dishwasher machine.

Instructions for the User

12.5 Removing the shelf guides

1. Unscrew and remove the knurled nuts 1 in the front of the shelf guides in an anti-clockwise direction.

1. Unscrew and loosen the knurled nuts 2 in the back of the shelf guides in an anti-clockwise direction. Do not completely remove these nuts.

1. Pull the shelf guides to the inside of the cavity and remove from the front.

To put them back, insert the shelf guides into the knurled nuts 2 in the back and position on the screws in the front.

Screw the knurled nuts 1 and 2 in a clockwise direction till tight.

12.6 Removing the appliance door

1. Open the appliance door as far as it will go.

1. Insert 2 pins inside the holes in the hinges.

1. Close the appliance door just enough that it can be lifted out.

1. To reassemble, push the hinges into the holes from the front.

13 OVEN CLEANING

Warning! Cleaning should be done with the oven power switched off. Take the plug out of the socket or switch off the oven's power circuit.

Warning! Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, scourers that scratch surfaces or sharp objects, since stains may appear. To clean stainless steel parts, please use suitable detergent which does not contain abrasive or acid substances or chlorine.

Warning! Never use high pressure or steam jet cleaning appliances.

13.1 Front surface

Normally you just need to clean the oven with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.

In an oven with a finger print proof treatment front, use a mild glass cleaning product and a soft cloth that does not release any fibres or threads. Wipe from side to side without exerting any pressure on the surface.

Immediately remove limescale, fat, starch or egg white stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.

Do not let any water get inside the oven.

13.2 Oven interior

After use, remove any water on the bottom of the cooking space with a soft cloth. Leave the appliance door open so that the cooking space can cool down.

To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a non-aggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven sprays or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning products.

Always keep the door and the oven front very clean to ensure that the door opens and closes properly.

Make sure water does not enter the oven ventilation holes.

The glass lamp cover is located on the oven ceiling and can be removed easily for cleaning. For this you just need to unscrew it and clean it with water and dishwashing liquid.

13.3 Accessories

Clean the accessories after each use. If they are very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a brush and sponge. The accessories can be washed in a dish washing machine except the water tank.

Instructions for the User

14 EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

Occasionally, the oven will require minor servicing procedures or the replacement of parts subject to wear and tear, such as gaskets, light bulbs, etc. The specific operations for each procedure of this kind are provided below.

Before carrying out any operation involving access to live parts, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

14.1 What should I do if the oven doesn't work?

WARNING! Any type of repair must only be done by a specialised technician. Any repair done by a person not authorised by the manufacturer is dangerous.

You do not need to contact Technical Assistance to resolve the following questions.

Failure description	Solution
The display is not showing!	- The time indication has been switched off (see section on Operating Settings).
Nothing happens when I press the keys!	- The Safety Block is active (see section on Child Safety Lock-out function).
The oven does not work!	- Check if the plug is correctly fitted in the socket. - Check if the oven power is switched on.
When the oven is operating I can hear some strange noises!	- It has to do with the operating noises that can occur during the cooking process, e.g, by the water pumps in the steam generator. - The steam inside the cavity produces a pressure build-up and sometimes the cavity walls may produce noise when they react to the pressure. - These noises are normal, there is no problem.
The food doesn't heat up or heats very slowly!	- You have selected the correct operating times and temperature setting. - The food you have put inside the oven is a larger amount or colder than you usually put in.
The message “Err.” appears in the display	- Please contact the Customer Care.
The appliance still makes a noise after the cooking process is finished!	This is not a problem. The cooling fan keeps on working for some time. When the temperature has dropped sufficiently, the fan will switch itself off.
The oven switches on but the interior light does not go on!	If all the functions work properly it is probable that the lamp has blown. You can keep on using the oven.
Display shows	Perform water level calibration (see 8.3.2)
