STEAM COOKING
(WVE617 model only)
TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
Cooking with steam is a great addition to straight ‘hot
air’ cooking. Steam brings out all the natural flavours and
goodness in the food, cooks evenly from surface to centre
and retains more nutrients and vitamins. Steam assisted
cooking consistently produces juicy, succulent interiors
with crisp, golden exteriors.
A hot steam function is selected as per a standard
function, but with the addition of the steam symbol
being illuminated in the display. Selection of temperature
is also the same as for a normal function but the lower
temperature limit will be higher for a steam function.
This oven has 3 dedicated steam functions that have
been individually tuned to produce the best result with a
combination of steam and heat application.
Steam cooking
- perfect for all kinds meat, poultry and
fish dishes. The hot air ensures the outside is sealed whilst
the steam keeps the inside tender.
Steam reheat
- great for reheating dishes like rice, pasta
and pizza that can suffer from dryness in normal ovens or
sogginess in microwave ovens.
Pizza + Steam
- This function creates a great pizza in
terms of crispy crust and uniform browning on top.
Steam operating sequence
1. Open the water drawer in the control panel by
pressing it.
2. Pour approximately 850mL of water into the
drawer. Stop filling if alarm sounds and
is
displayed.
3. Close the water drawer.
WARNING
WARNING
Take care when filling the water drawer. Spillage could
create a slipping hazard. Immediately clean up any spills
on the product, cabinet or floor. If the “overfull” alarm
sounds immediately stop pouring water into the water
drawer. If the tank is overfilled the excess will flow into
the oven. This prevents leakage onto cabinets and is not
a fault. Sponge up overflows if they occur.
Use
measuring
jug supplied
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not use any liquid other than normal tap water. Do
not use demineralised or distilled water. Doing so could
affect the normal operation of the steam generator. Do
not put solid matter into the water drawer.
4. Turn on the oven and select the steam cooking
function and temperature. Set timer functions if
desired.
5. Once the oven has reached the set temperature,
place the food in the oven. A full water tank will last
approximately 30 minutes. It may have to be refilled
during a long cooking cycle, for example a roast.
WARNING

The steam will not be visible inside the oven when
cooking with steam. Opening the oven door to place,
remove or inspect the food will release it. Stand back

If the water tank is over filled, water will be dispensed

appliance as it prevents water spilling out of the
water drawer which could create a hazard. If this
occurs, mop up the overflow with a clean cloth and
continue with the cooking function.
