[. . . ] Note: The (Drain valve) symbol flashes on the display if the drain valve is not completely open or closed. If you do not have a permanently installed drainage connection, place a temperature-resistant receptacle of a corresponding size (at least 10 l) under the drain valve and install the drain installation set AG 060-000. Fig. 15 Note: Allow the water or the cooking liquid to cool down before draining it: This avoids steaming in the base cabinet and scalding. Cleaning and care Do no use any abrasive and caustic cleaning agents. Use plastic pot cleaners or a soft dishwashing brush and normal detergent. Clean the appliance and accessories thoroughly before using them for the first time. Fill the cooking basin up to the foaming edge and operate the appliance at the steam cooking level for 30 minutes to remove any 'newness' smells. The cooking basin should not be treated with stainless steel care agents because, in most cases, these are not neutral as far as foodstuffs are concerned. You can clean the glass cover and the cooking inserts in a dishwasher. Do not use any commercially available stainless steel cleaners as these may be aggressive to the printed markings. Clean control components, glass surfaces and operator controls with a moist cloth and gentle rinsing detergent and wipe them dry with a soft dry cloth. Clean the appliance after every use: ­ Empty and clean the steam cooker after every use. Clean the cooking inserts and the leftovers strainer in a dishwasher or with mild soap solution. ­ Rub the cooking basin dry with a cloth and reinsert the leftovers strainer. ­ The glass cover should not be fitted while the cooking basin is still moist. ­ If a white coating should form in the cooking basin owing to very limy water, wipe out the basin with a water and vinegar mixture or a descaling agent that is not harmful to foodstuffs and then rinse it well with clear water. ­ Polish the cooking basin with a soft cloth and a drop of cooking oil. Note: after a few hours of operation, the contours of the heating elements will appear on the base of the tub. This does not detrimentally influence the functions and the quality of the appliance. After cleaning and drying, you can store the cleaned cooking inserts and the handle in the cooking tub. Turn over the glass cover to make sure that the appliance cover (special accessory) will lie properly on the recess. 11 5. Maintenance If the appliance does not function correctly, check the fuses first. [. . . ] Connection type Y: if damaged, the mains cable must be replaced by a special mains connecting cable. The mains connecting cable must only be connected by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorised after-sales service. 18 The mains connecting cable must at least correspond to the type H 05 VV-F . A suction extractor must be installed if suspended cupboards are installed over the steam cooker because the steam might otherwise damage built-in furniture. [. . . ]
