Filling the water reservoir
When using the steam function fill the water reservoir inside the oven
using the control panel drawer. Lightly press the drawer to open it.
Pour the water using a measuring jug (see figure). Close the drawer by
pushing it gently until completely closed. Unless water is being loaded
in the reservoir, the drawer should always be kept closed. The
reservoir has a maximum capacity of approximately one litre. It is
however recommended to only fill the reservoir with the quantity
suggested in the cooking tables of the recipes book provided. When
selecting the “Steam” function, the amount of water in the reservoir
will be shown on the display with a sequence of dashes (leds).
- no dash: reservoir empty
- one dash: minimum level
- two dashes: medium level
- three dashes: maximum level
Should the amount of water be insufficient for the type of cooking selected, the message “Water too low”
“Add water” will appear on the display and an acoustic signal will activate: top up with water until the
medium level is reached. Should the maximum level be reached, a double acoustic signal will warn that no
more water should be added: confirm by pressing <OK> will enable to proceed to the following steps.
CAUTION: never pour water in the drawer when the knob is in the “0” position and when cooking
without steam. Failing this the message “Water not required” will appear, followed by an acoustic signal to
inform that the filling of the reservoir should be stopped immediately.
Emptying the water reservoir
The emptying function enables emptying of the water tank. This is necessary to prevent stagnations in the
reservoir and during the descaling operations (see relevant paragraph).
1. Press the “Function Selection” knob on “Steam” and select
“Emptying” by using the “+/-” control knob. Open the door and place
a large jug under the discharge nozzle at the bottom right of the panel
(see figure).
2. With the jug in position press “OK”. The oven is now ready for the
emptying operation (this will not start when the water is too hot).
3. Keep the “OK” button depressed, water will discharge in the
container. An acoustic signal will activate when the reservoir is empty.
The absence of level dashes on the display will confirm that the
reservoir is now completely empty.
Once steam cooking is completed and the function knob has been
placed in the “0” position, the control panel will wait for the water in
the reservoir to have reached a safe temperature before warning that the reservoir should be emptied. If
the water temperature is too high, the control panel will indicate that the water is cooling. Once the safe
temperature has been reached, the panel will give the OK to proceed. Pressing the “<<” button will clear
the control panel.
We recommend that the reservoir should be emptied at every use or at least regularly.
CAUTION: Always keep the door open during emptying of the reservoir and ensure that the jug is kept
under the discharge nozzle at all times.
