ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
T
HERE
ARE
a number of accessories available on
the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for cooking with steam and hot air in
combination.
P
LACE
CONTAINERS
on the Wire Shelf. It can hold
greater weights than the baking tray or steam
tray can.
E
NSURE
THAT
THERE
IS
a space of at least 30 mm
between the upper rim of the container and
the cavity ceiling to allow sufficient steam en-
trance to the container.
CHOOSING COOKING CONTAINER
U
SE
PERFORATED
COOKING
containers whenev-
er possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The
steam has free access to the food from all sides
and the food is cooked evenly.
S
TEAM
EASILY
REACHES
into the space between big
pieces of food such as large potatoes. This en-
sures even and effective cooking. It enables a
large quantity to finish in the same amount of
time as a smaller quantity. Placing (spacing)
food to allow the steam even and easy access
to individual pieces of food enables it to be
cooked in the same amount of time as small-
er quantities.
M
ORE
COMPACT
DISHES
such as casseroles or
bakes, or food such as peas or asparagus
spears, which have very small / no space be-
tween them will take longer to cook because
the steam has less space to work in.
TEMPERATURE COOKING
T
HE
TEMPERATURE
PROBE
should normal-
ly be inserted so that the
tip of the probe is po-
sitioned in the thickest part of the
food, as this is the part that takes the
longest time to heat.
T
HE
TIP
OF
THE
PROBE
must not touch any
bones which the food may contain.
Also, avoid placing the probe in fat-
ty areas of the food
as these areas heat up
more quickly giving mis-
leading end tempera-
tures.
The probe should, if possible, be positioned
so that the tip does not touch the walls or the
bottom of the cooking vessel.
T
HE
TEMPERATURE
which is set must be higher
than the current temperature of the food.
I
T
IS
NOT
POSSIBLE
to use the probe when making
sweets, jam and marmalade, or dishes which
need to be cooked or simmered for a long pe-
riod. This is because the; highest temperature
which can be set is 100°C.
N
EVER
IMMERSE
the probe in water when clean-
ing. Simply wipe clean with a clean, damp
cloth or kitchen roll after use.
T
HE
OVEN
MUST
NOT
BE
OPERATED
with the tempera-
ture probe in the cavity if it is not plugged into
the oven.
If you do operate the oven without complying
with the above you will damage the probe.
O
NLY

or by service recommend-
ed food probe. Other brands on the market
will not give proper results and may damage
your oven.
