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 for steam
cooking it is best to offset them on their
runners and to leave at least one level
free in between them.
Always insert cooking containers, the
rack and the tray 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
During steam cooking, the temperature
does not exceed 100 °C. Almost all
foods can be cooked at this
temperature. Some types of food, such
as berries, need to be cooked at lower
temperatures to prevent them from
bursting. See the relevant sections in
these operating instructions for more
details.
Cooking duration
During steam cooking, the cooking
duration does not begin until the set
temperature is reached.
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.
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 - steam
cooking
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.
