Before using for the first time
Opening and closing the door
Pull out the shelf underneath the appliance before opening the door. You can place hot containers on the shelf and it will also collect any drops of hot water.
To open the door:
^Using the thumb of your right hand, push the door release forwards and turn the handle upwards until the handle is in a horizontal position.
The oven door is now unlocked and can be opened.
Do not attempt to force the door open during a programme. Danger of burning and scalding.
If you attempt to open the door during a programme or before the cooling down phase has finished, an alarm will sound and the word door will appear in the time display.
To close the door:
^Turn the handle to the horizontal position.
This ensures that the door lugs are lined up with those on the cooking compartment opening (see arrows).
^Using your left hand, press firmly on the door button.
^Using your right hand, turn the handle downwards until you hear it engage. While doing so, also push the door release forwards with your thumb. This vents the cooking compartment and makes it easier to close the door.
The steam oven cannot be used until the door has been closed properly.
^Push the shelf back in again.
