Steam Cook
Steam cooking uses the moist heat of steam to cook
food. This is an ideal cooking method for delicate
food items such as seafood, which can lose nutrients
when boiled.
The oven provides 3 methods of steam cooking:
Steam Assist, Steam Combi., and Gourmet Steam.
CAUTION
•
Take care when opening the oven door during
or after steam cooking. Hot steam can cause
scalding.
Using the Water Tank
The water tank is located over the oven cavity.
1
Gently push the front of the water tank to slide it
out.
2
Remove the tank and place it on a flat surface.
3
Remove the tank cover or flip open the fill lid at
the front of the tank cover.
4
Open the reservoir cap, and then fill the reservoir
with 34 oz.(1000
ml) of drinkable water. Use
softened, filtered water, if possible. Hard water
may clog the steam generator more quickly with
scale build-up.
MAX LINE
*Do not exceed the
max line.
5
Assemble the cover or snap the fill lid closed.
Tank Cover
Fill lid
CAUTION
•
Make sure the tank cover and fill lid are closed
before putting in the oven.
6
Carefully insert the tank into the steam feeder
slot, making sure to keep the tank level while
carrying it. If the tank is not kept level, water will
drain out of the tubes in the back.
7
Slide the tank into the slot until it clicks into
place.
Steam-Assist Mode
The Steam-Assist mode heats food gradually, using
both the oven heating elements and moist steam heat.
Preset temperature options start at 160°C (320°F).
NOTE
•
If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom
after steam mode, use a cloth or sponge
soaked in vinegar or a weak citric acid solution
to remove them before using the steam mode
again. See the Maintenance section under
Descaling for more info. To remove stubborn
hard water scale, use the Descaling function.
•
Wipe away excess water left over after cooling.
•
To avoid damage and extend product life,
descale the steam feeder after every 8 hours of
use, or more often if needed.
•
After the steam mode is used for 8 hours, a
reminder to descale the product appears in
the display the next time the steam mode is
selected. You will not be able to use the steam
mode until the Descaling function is run. To
avoid this delay, run the Descaling function
after every 2-3 uses of the steam mode.
•
If the descaling reminder appears, press OK to
run the Descaling function.
