How the steam cooker works
4.1
General
A removable 1-litre water reservoir (1) is located in the oven. A pump (2) sprays the water through a jet
(3) into the cooking compartment. When this water comes into contact with the heated steam generator,
steam is produced. The oven is first filled with water and the temperature increased to 100 °C. Activation
of the thermoelectric device (6) closes the flap (11) 1.5 minutes after cooking has begun.
When the first phase is reached, steam generation is reduced, in order to compensate for losses and to
keep the oven filled.
To prevent condensate from forming on cold spots, a heat barrier mat, heated to 100 °C, (5) is fitted
around the cooking compartment.
When the cooking process has finished, the thermoelectric activator (6) opens a flap through which the
steam is vented with the aid of a fan (7).
The appliance is protected against overheating by an overheat thermostat (8) (170 °C) and control
probe (9).
4 holes in the flap serve to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the oven during the cooking process.
This system is therefore not comparable with a pressure cooker, which cooks under pressure. Its major
benefit lies in the retention of the colour and flavour of the food.
