Cooking with steam
• Use only heat and corrosion resistant
cookware or chrome steel food
containers (for some models only).
• The correct shelf positions are in the
table below. Count the shelf positions
from the bottom to the top.
• When you cook longer than 30 minutes
or when you cook large quantities of
food, add water if it is necessary.
• Put the food into the correct cooking
containers and put the containers on the
shelves. Make sure that there is some
distance between the shelves to let the
steam circulate around each container.
• After each use, remove the water from
the water drawer, connecting hoses and
steam generator. Refer to the chapter
"Care and cleaning".
• The tables give data for typical dishes.
• Start the procedure with a cold
appliance unless the data in the tables is
different.
• Use a recipe that is almost the same if
you cannot find the settings for your
recipe.
• When you cook rice, use a ratio of 1.5 :
1 – 2 : 1 water to rice because rice
absorbs water.
