Installation
1
Check that:
- the electrical installation has sufficient
voltage (220-240 Volts~ 16 Amps).
If the electrical installation in your home
requires any changes in order to connect your
appliance, contact a professional electrician.
During maintenance operations, the
appliance must be unplugged from the
electrical grid; fuses must be switched off or
removed.
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.
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.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The water contained in the tank arrives in the cavi
ty
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:
- an empty tank.
- a poorly seated tank.
After these two items have been checked, cooking
automatically restarts as soon as the door is closed.
Caution
When in use, the appliance becomes hot. Hot
steam will escape when you open the door of
the appliance. Keep children at a distance.
