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

duration.
When using more than one deep

container at the same time it is best to

offset 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

information 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

information 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

selecting the shorter cooking duration

quoted to start with. If food is not

cooked sufficiently 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

container 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.
