Steam cooking tables

WARNING!

Do not open the appliance door
when the function is active. Risk
of burns.

The function is suitable for all types of
food — fresh and frozen. You can use it
for cooking, warming, defrosting, poach-
ing, or blanching vegetables, meat, fish,
pasta, rice, sweet corn, semolina and
eggs.

Cooking of menus:

 You can prepare

complete set in one go. To avoid under
or over cooked dishes choose those
which require similar cooking times. Use

the largest amount of water specified for
individual component. Put the dishes on
the oven shelves in the suitable cook-
ware. Adjust the gap between the dishes
to let the steam circulate.

Sterilisation

• With this function you can sterilise

containers ( e.g. baby bottles).

• Put the clean containers in the middle

of the shelf on the 1st level. Make sure
that the opening faces down at a small
angle.

• Fill the drawer with the maximum

amount of water and set a time of 40
min.
