Heating-up phase
While the appliance is heating up to the temperature which
has been set, the display will show "Heating-up phase" and
the temperature in the cooking compartment as it rises in all
programmes except for Automatic ones, Menu cooking,
Reheat and Maintenance.
Steam cooking
When cooking with steam, the duration of the heating-up
phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the
food. In general the heating-up phase will last for approx. 7
minutes. The duration will be longer if you are cooking
refrigerated or frozen food.
Steam reduction
with steam programmes
The steam reduction function will switch on automatically at
the end of a cooking programme which uses a temperature of
over 70 °C. This reduces the amount of steam which escapes
when the door is opened. "Steam reduction" will appear in the
display in addition to "Process finished".
This function can be switched off if you wish (see "Settings").
Keeping warm
with steam programmes
If you wish to use this function you will need to alter the
default setting (see "Settings").
If the steam oven is not switched off at the end of a cooking
programme, the keeping warm function will activate
automatically. The food will be kept at a temperature of 70 °C
for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Please note that delicate food, especially fish, can continue
cooking whilst being kept warm.
