Using for the first time

Set the correct boiling point
for water
Before cooking food for the first time,
you must set the boiling point for water,
as this varies depending on the altitude
the appliance is located at. This proce‐
dure also flushes out the waterways.
This procedure must be carried out
to ensure efficient functioning of your
appliance.
Only use cold mains tap water
(less than 20 °C). Never use distilled
or mineral water or other liquids.
 Remove the water container (on the
right) and fill it up to the maximum
marker.

Push the water container into the ap‐
pliance until it connects.

You should then run the
Steam cooking

programme at 100 °C for 15 mi‐
nutes. Proceed as described in "Op‐
eration".
Set the correct boiling point for wa‐
ter following a house move
If you move house, the appliance will
need to be re-set for the new altitude if
this differs from the old one by 300 m
or more. To do this, descale the appli‐
ance (see "Cleaning and care / Mainte‐
nance / Descaling").
Heating up the appliance

To remove the grease from the ring
heating element, heat the appliance
up with nothing in it at 200 °C using
the
Fan plus

function for 30 mi‐
nutes.
Proceed as described in "Operation:
Functions without steam".
There will be a slight smell the first
time the heating element is heated up.
The smell and any vapours will dissi‐
pate after a short time, and do not in‐
dicate a faulty connection or appli‐
ance.
It is important to ensure that the kitch‐
en is well ventilated during this opera‐
tion.
