Steam cooking mode
Water container
The maximum filling volume is 1.5 litres
and the minimum is 0.5 litres. There are
markings on the water container. The
upper marking must never be
exceeded.
Water consumption depends on the
type of food and the duration of
cooking. The water may need to be
topped up during cooking. Water
consumption is increased if the door is
opened during cooking.
The water container is removed using a
push/pull system: push gently on the
water container to remove it.
At the end of a cooking programme, hot
water left in the steam generator is
pumped back into the water container.
The water container must be emptied
after each use involving steam.
Temperature
Some functions have a pre-set
recommended temperature. This
temperature can be altered for a single
programme, a specific programme
stage or within the given range for a
programme. You can alter the
recommended temperature in 5 °C
increments, or 1 °C increments in sous-
vide cooking (see “Settings –
Recommended temperatures”).
Cooking duration
You can set the cooking duration from
1 minute (00:01) to 10 hours (10:00). If
the cooking duration exceeds
59 minutes you have to enter it in hours
and minutes. Example: Cooking
duration 80 minutes = 1:20.
During steam cooking, the cooking
duration does not begin until the set
temperature is reached.
Noises
You will hear a pumping sound when
the appliance is switched on, during
use and after switching it off. This is the
sound of water being pumped through
the system and is quite normal.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.
