Moisture content
The
Combi Steam
and
Reheat
modes
use a combination of oven heat and
moisture. You can alter the moisture
level within a given range for an individ-
ual cooking program or a cooking
stage.
Depending on the setting for the pro-
gram, either moisture or fresh air is in-
jected into the oven. If the humidity
level is set to 0%, the maximum
amount of air will be injected and no
moisture. If the level is set to 100%, air
will not be injected into the oven and
the maximum amount of moisture will
be injected.
Some food gives off moisture during
the cooking process. This moisture
from the food also controls the amount
of moisture needed. If the required
amount of moisture is very low and the
food already contains a lot of water the
steam generator may not be activated
at all.
Cooking duration
Depending on the function, you can set
a cooking duration of between 1 minute
and 6, 10 or 12 hours.
The duration of the MasterChef, Mainte-
nance and
Menu Cooking
programs is
set at the factory and cannot be altered.
With the
Steam Cooking
mode and
programs that use steam alone, the
cooking duration does not start to
count down until the set temperature
has been reached. It begins immedi-
ately with all other modes and pro-
grams.
Noises
You will hear a pumping sound when
the appliance is turned on, during use
and after turning it off. This is the sound
of water being pumped through the
system and is quite normal.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.
