In the steam oven you can only bake on one single level. If you use a baking form put it on the wire rack and place the wire rack on the first level from below. With this setting no additional steam is added, but the air flap remains closed. Thus, the natural moisture of the food remains in the oven and prevents the food from drying out.

Defrosting
· · · · · ·
Select the "Defrosting" heating mode. The defrosting time depends on the size, weight and shape of the frozen food. Always freeze your food flat or in single pieces, this shortens the defrosting time. Please observe: defrosted food might not keep and will deteriorate more quickly than fresh food. Always insert an unperforated cooking insert one level below the food. Clean the cooking insert in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher.

*After the time has elapsed, leave the food inside the oven for 10-15 minutes after switching off. This ensures the food is thawed right through.

Preserving
· · · · ·
Cook the fruit or vegetables immediately after buying or picking. A prolonged storage will reduce the vitamins and might lead to fermenting. Disinfect the clean jars in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 100°C / 100% moisture before using them for preserving. Leave the jars to cool down completely before taking them out of the oven.

Changing the Filter Cartridge
If you have installed the Brita descaling system WF 040-020 between the water supply and the appliance, change the filter cartridge regularly. The appliance calculates the capacity of the filter cartridge depending on the entered water hardness and the use. Shortly before you have to change the filter cartridge, a symbol appears on the display every time you switch on the oven. If the filter capacity has expired, the symbol is shown constantly on the display if the appliance is on. [. . . ]
