1 - Before any steam cooking, fill the water tank as
described in the previous chapter. One liter of water
allows about 1 hour of steam cooking.
2 - Place the food in suitable ovenproof pans or pots and
place them on the oven shelf. Set the shelf level
according to the cooking table. The second shelf
level from the bottom usually gives the best cooking
results.
3 - Turn the oven function control knob on the "STEAM
COOKING" function (symbol ) .
4 - Turn the thermostat control knob on the required tem-
perature between 140° and 220°C. Consider that a
temperature above 220°C will not give good cooking
results.
Hints and tips about steam
cooking
l
Don't cover the pans or pots. This would not allow
steam to come in contact with the food.
l
You can also place food directly on the oven shelf.
In that case, always place the dripping pan at the
lowest level, with some water in it, to avoid smoke
and unpleasant smells.
l
If you need to open the oven door and check the
food, always remember to switch off the steam
cooking function by turning the function control knob
on symbol
. After having checked it, turn back
the function control knob on symbol to make the
steam function operate again.
Steam can condense and produce water
droplets on the oven door glass. This is quite
normal and is not caused by fault of the oven.
We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after all cookings.
