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.
