Filling the water tank

OPENING THE FRONT PANEL

• Press the ☐ key for a few seconds.
• The front panel slightly opens ( ≈15^ ). This process is slow.
• Complete the panel opening manually.

NOTE

The panel can be opened during the oven operation.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

All functions require the water tank to be full.

Fill the water tank up to the "MAX" mark with cold, fresh drinking water and introduce it into the slot located behind the front panel (maximum 0,8L).

NOTE

Do not use sterilized or distilled water for cooking with the steam oven. The minerals in the water are essential for the cooking process to work.

NOTE

When filling the water tank, the top section of the tank does NOT fully seal. Overfilling the tank will potentially cause the tank to leak when moved.

REFILLING THE WATER

The contents of the water tank normally suffice for one cooking session of 50-60 minutes.

If, however, the water tank needs to be refilled, the Water refill message shows.

Only fill the water tank up to a maximum of 0,5l to ensure that the water does not overflow when it is pumped back to the water tank. RISK OF OVERFLOW.

EMPTYING THE WATER TANK

When the appliance is switched off, the residual water is pumped back into the water tank.

WARNING

The water in the tank may be hot. Danger of burns!

Depending on the temperature setting and length of the steam cooking functions, this can take up to 1 hour to complete. Always wait until the 🚗 appear on the display before removing the water tank, attempting to run a second steam function or switching off the power to the steam oven. If interrupted before finishing, the pumping will reset, which can cause the internal water pump to run dry and make a loud vibrating noise while it runs. Over time, this can cause damage to the pump.

After the water is pumped back to the water tank, the display will show symbol requiring the following actions:

• Remove and empty the water tank.
• Dry the water tank and introduce it back into the slot located above the cavity. Clean and dry the cooking space.
• Leave the appliance door open so that the cooking space can cool down and dry completely.

INFORMATION

It is advisable to remove the water tank and empty it after a cooking cycle. This prevents the formation of bacteria and limestone inside the appliance.

If the water tank has not been removed from the oven and a new cooking cycle is startedl.

Steam operation

WARNING

When opening the door during or upon completion of the cooking cycle, be careful of the flow of heat and/or steam coming out of the cooking chamber. Step back or to the side to avoid burns. Keep hands on the oven door until the door is fully opened to avoid being scalded.

At this point:

• The steam generation is paused.
- The cavity walls and the water tank are still very hot. Danger of burning!
- The timer stops and the display shows the remaining operating time (if this has been set).

END OF A COOKING CYCLE

At the end of the programmed cooking time, you will hear three beeps and the display will show the word "END", the oven starts the steam-reduction function.

This function gradually releases the steam from the cavity, so that there is less steam to flow out of the oven when the appliance door is opened.

The cooling fan can continue to run for a certain length of time after the appliance has been switched off. This is a normal function that is meant to reduce the temperature inside the oven.

When the display shows the DEPO symbol, this means that the water was pumped and that the water tank can be removed.

Remove the water tank and dry it thoroughly. Let the cooking space cool down for a moment and then clean and dry it with a cloth. The door should be left open for some time so that the appliance can dry completely.

STEAM FLOW

It is normal to have an intermittent steam flow, coming out from the oven front.

This is especially noticeable in winter time or in high moisture environments.

RESIDUAL WATER IN THE OVEN

To reduce the residual water inside the oven, we recommend inserting a tray in the bottom position (position 1). The remaining moisture can be easily wiped off with a cloth or cleaning wipe. The water that condenses on the door collects in the lower part of the front of the oven. Excessive accumulation of liquid could overflow and cause damage to the kitchen unit. Remember to dry this area after cooking. You can access this part with the door open.
