Installation1
CHOICE OF LOCATION AND BUILDING IN
This appliance must be installed more than 850 mm up off the ground. This appliance may be installed in a cabinet column, as indicated on the installation diagram (fig. A). Caution: if the back of the cabinet is open, the space between the wall and the surface on which the oven rests must be no more than 70 mm* (fig. B). Do not use your appliance immediately (wait for about 1 to 2 hours) after transferring it from a cold place to a warm place, as condensation may cause a malfunction. Centre the oven in the cabinet so as to ensure a minimum distance of 10 mm between the appliance and the surrounding unit. The material of the cabinet supporting the appliance must be heat resistant (or covered with a heat-resistant material). Drill a 2 mm diameter hole in the cabinet panel to avoid splitting the wood. For greater stability, attach the oven to the unit with 2 screws through the holes provided on the side panels (fig. C).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Warning: Installation should only be performed by
qualified installers and technicians.
The appliance must be recess-fitted correctly to ensure electrical safety. The electrical connections should be made before the appliance is installed in its housing. The oven must be connected via a standardised power cable with 3 conductors of 1 mm² (1 live + 1 neutral + earth) which must be connected to the network by means of an IEC 60083 standard power socket or via an all-pole cut-off device in compliance with the installation rules.
Check that:
Warning: The safety wire (green-yellow) is
connected to the appliance’s terminal and must be connected to the installation’s earth. If the oven malfunctions in any way, unplug it or remove the fuse for the circuit where the oven is installed.
Warning: We cannot accept liability for any accident or incident resulting from non-existent, defective or incorrect grounding.

Cooking4
OPERATING PRINCIPLE The water contained in the tank arrives in the cavity via a pipe. This water is transformed into steam when it comes into contact with the hot surface of the floor of the cavity: this is the steam generator. There is no need to add water to the cooking dish. To ensure REAL STEAM COOKING, your oven is supplied with specially designed cookware that will produce perfect cooking.
USING THE TANK You MUST fill the water tank to the max. level before cooking. Replace the tank in its housing by firmly pushing it ALL THE WAY until you feel it LOCK INTO POSITION. Water management In the event of a water circuit-related problem during cooking, the “no water” symbol appears and a beep is emitted. This error relates specifically to:
After these two items have been checked, cooking automatically restarts as soon as the door is closed.

Cleaning the cavity (after each use).
Caution For any cleaning operation inside the oven cavity, the oven must be switched off. Before starting to disassemble the appliance, allow it to cool down and ensure that it has been disconnected from the power supply.
Wipe the cavity with a dry cloth after the steam generator has cooled or let the cavity air-dry by leaving the door open.
Cleaning the water intake tube (once a month). Remove the water intake tube by unscrewing it. Remove any hard-water deposits that may be inside (using a thin, pointed object such as a thin skewer or a knitting needle).
Warning
Do not use scouring products, abrasive sponges or metal scrapers to clean the glass oven door as this could scratch the surface and cause the glass to shatter.
Cleaning the steam generator (once a month). Pour 1/2 cup of white alcohol vinegar on the generator. Leave for a few minutes, then clean and rinse with water. Do not use sponges, abrasive powders or coffee maker descaler.
EXTERNAL SURFACE Use a window washing product applied to a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive creams or scouring sponges.
Accessory maintenance Dish washer or hand washable, with a small amount of detergent. Soak them if they are very dirty.
Cleaning the gutter. Remove this gutter by pulling it upward. Wipe it and return it to its position using the three notches provided.
