General notes

Shelf level

You can select any shelf level. You can

also cook on several levels at the same

time. This will not alter the cooking du‐

ration.
When using more than one deep con‐

tainer at the same time it is best to off‐

set them on their runners and to leave

at least one level free in between them.
Always insert cooking containers and

the rack between the rails of the side

runners so that they cannot tip.

Frozen food

The heating up phase for frozen food is

longer than for fresh food. The greater

the quantity of frozen food, the longer

the heating up phase.

Temperature

A maximum temperature of 100 °C is

reached when steam cooking is taking

place. Most types of food will cook at

this temperature. Some more delicate

types of food, such as soft fruit, must

be cooked at lower temperatures as

otherwise they will burst. More informa‐

tion is given in the relevant section.
Combination with a food warming

drawer

When the warming drawer is in use the

oven cavity in the steam oven can get

up to 40 °C. If, in this case, you set a

temperature of 40 °C, no steam will be

produced because the oven cavity is

too warm.

Duration

In general, the cooking durations for

cooking with steam are the same as for

cooking food in a saucepan. More in‐

formation about any factors which may

affect the cooking duration is given in

the relevant sections.
The quantity of food does not affect the

cooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes will

take the same time to cook as 500 g.
The durations given in the charts are

guidelines only. We recommend select‐

ing the shorter cooking duration quoted

to start with. If food is not cooked suffi‐

ciently after the shorter time it can be

put back in the oven and cooked for

longer.

Cooking with liquid

When cooking with liquid only fill the

cooking container ²/₃ full to prevent the

liquid spilling when the cooking con‐

tainer is removed from the oven.

Your own recipes

Food and recipes which are prepared in

pot or a pan can also be cooked in the

steam oven. The cooking times in the

steam oven will be the same. Please

note that food will not be brown or crisp

when cooking with steam.
