Noises
You will hear a pumping sound when
the appliance is switched on, during
use and aft
er switching it off. This is the
sound of water being pumped through
the system and is quite normal.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.
Heating-up phase
During the heating-up phase the oven
compar
tment is heated to the set tem‐
perature. The display will show the tem‐
perature of the oven compartment as it
rises.
The duration of the heating-up phase
will depend on the quantity and the
t
emperature of the food. In general the
heating-up phase will last for approx. 5
minutes. The duration will be longer if
you are preparing refrigerated or frozen
food.
Cooking phase
The cooking phase begins when the set
t
emperature is reached. During the
cooking phase, the duration remaining
will be shown in the display.
Steam reduction
If a cooking temperature above approx.
80 °C has been set, the appliance door
will aut
omatically open a fraction just
before the end of a cooking programme
to release some of the steam from the
cabinet. The door will then close again
automatically.
Steam reduction can be switched off if
you wish (see "Settings"). If switched
off, ther
e will be a lot of steam emitted
from the cabinet when the door is
opened.
