Important Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before using the steam oven.

• Use this oven only indoors and for its intended use as

described in this manual. Never use your oven for warming
or heating the room. This is based on safety considerations.

• Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The

oven must be installed and electrically grounded according
to local codes.

• The oven should only be installed and operated in a room

with a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C). In
the event of frost, there is a danger that residual water left
in the pumps can freeze, causing damage.

• Before using the newly installed oven, follow the steps that

should be taken before operating the oven for the first time.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this oven

unless specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service
must be performed by an authorized service agency.

• Children should not be left alone in the kitchen while the

oven is in use.

• Packaging material can be dangerous. Danger of suffocation!

Dispose of packaging material according to local regulations.

• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp potholders on hot

surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch surface areas. Do not use towel or bulky cloth.

• Keep area clean and free from combustible materials,

gasoline, and other flammable liquids. Never use your oven
as a storage space. Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.)
may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause
burns. Do not pour spirits over hot foods. Do not leave oven
unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire
hazard.

• Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure

may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

• Do not use the oven if it is visibly damaged and/or there is

visible smoke coming from the oven. Keep door closed and
immediately disconnect from electrical supply.

• Always position oven racks in desired location while oven is

cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact hot heating element in oven.

• Use care when opening and touching oven door. Let hot air

or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Do not
touch glass window on door. Hot air or steam can cause
burns to hands, face, and/or eyes. Do not sit or rest on the
oven door.

• Keep oven vents unobstructed. The oven vent is located at

the front of the oven and vents into the room. In ProBake
cooking, steam may escape from the steam vent.

• Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight

seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the
gasket.

• Allow sufficient time for the oven to cool before cleaning.

Use a damp soft cloth to remove any residual water in the
bottom of the oven cavity. Do not use steam cleaners or
spray the inside or outside of the oven with water.

• No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating

such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part
of the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease buildup.

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR

SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause
burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the
vent opening, and the oven door window.

• Keep this use and care manual for future reference. If you

sell the oven or pass it on to a third party, make sure the use
and care manual accompany the installation instructions.
