It is recommended to use a water filter to prevent limescale buildup. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free. A qualified plumber should perform this installation.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Use

Before first use, clean the interior of the oven with a damp cloth. Run the oven empty at maximum temperature (300°C) for approximately 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

5.2 Powering On/Off

Plug the oven into the electrical outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate. To turn off, unplug the appliance.

5.3 Setting Temperature

Use the temperature control knob (typically on the left) to select the desired cooking temperature between 50°C and 300°C. The oven will begin to heat up.

5.4 Setting the Timer

Use the timer knob (typically on the right) to set the cooking duration from 0 to 120 minutes. The oven will automatically shut off once the set time has elapsed. For continuous operation, set the timer to the 'ON' position (if available).

5.5 Using the Humidifier Function

To activate the humidifier, press the dedicated push-button. This function injects steam into the cooking chamber, ideal for baking bread or pastries. Monitor the moisture level as needed.

5.6 Loading and Unloading

Carefully open the double-glazed door. Slide baking trays (max 4, 438 x 315 mm) onto the rack supports, maintaining the 70 mm distance between them. Close the door firmly. When removing food, use heat-resistant gloves and a tray gripper.
