Before Using the Appliance for the First Time • Appliance must be properly installed by a qualified technician before use. • Remove all packing materials from inside and outside the oven. • While cool, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry. There may be a slight odor during first uses; this is normal and will disappear. • Read and understand all safety precautions and Use and Care Manual information. • Execute the following sections prior to operating: Water tank The water tank is on the right side of the steam oven. It holds 1.4 quarts (1.3 L) of water. The water tank is not dishwasher safe. Important notes about the water used to fill the tank: • Moisten the seal in the tank lid with some water before using it for the first time. • Use only fresh tap water or, if necessary, plain noncarbonated purchased water to fill water tank. CAUTION Use of inappropriate liquids can damage the appliance! Do not fill the water tank with distilled water or any other liquids. • If your water is very hard (10 grains per gallon or higher), we recommend using softened water. • If your tap water is highly chlorinated (>40 mg/L), use plain non-carbonated purchased water with a low amount of chlorine.

Water Level Warnings The water tank must have enough water to generate the steam needed for the cooking mode and time you are using. As the water is converted to steam, the tank level will drop during cooking. There are three different water levels that are monitored by the control: NONE: Tank Full - Full tank, any oven mode can be run. - The steam oven can operate at 100% steam for 150 minutes without the need to refill the water tank. WATER LEVEL IS LOW: Tank with water - Tank less than full but not empty. TANK IS EMPTY: Tank is without water. - A heating mode cannot be run without adding sufficient water. - Refill water tank to run a cooking mode. PD[ English 6
