During steam cooking, the duration of
the preheating phase will depend on the
quantity and the temperature of the
food. In general this phase will last for
approx. 5 minutes. The duration will be
longer if you are preparing refrigerated
or frozen food.
Cooking phase
The cooking phase begins when the set
temperature is reached. During the
cooking phase, the time left will be
shown on the display.
Steam reduction
If cooking is performed in a certain tem-
perature range during steam cooking
and combination cooking, the steam re-
duction function switches on automati-
cally at the end of the cooking program.
This reduces the amount of steam
which escapes from the appliance
when the door is opened at the end of
the cooking duration.
Steam Reduction
will appear in the display in addition to
Program Finished
.
This function can be switched off if you
wish (see "Settings - Steam reduction").
Oven interior lighting
The oven light has been set at the fac-
tory to go out when cooking starts.
If you want it to stay on all the time the
oven is on you will need to alter the de-
fault setting (see "Settings - Lighting").
If the door is left open at the end of a
cooking program, the oven lighting will
turn off automatically after 5 minutes.
The oven lighting gives off heat. If you
are operating the combi steam oven at
a temperature below 125°F (50°C), the
oven compartment lighting switches off
automatically.
If the "Light" button on the control
panel is pressed, the oven compart-
ment lighting will come on for 15 sec-
onds.
