Cooking with steam
1 - Before any steam cooking, fill the water tank
as described in the previous chapter. One liter
of water allows about 1 hour of steam cooking.
2 - Place the food in suitable ovenproof pans or
pots and place them on the oven shelf (Fig. 7).
Set the shelf level according to the cooking
table. The second shelf level from the bottom
usually gives the best cooking results.
3 - Turn the oven function control knob on the
"STEAM COOKING" function (symbol ) .
4 - Turn the thermostat control knob on the
required temperature between 140
°
and
220
°
C. Consider that a temperature above
220
°
C will not give good cooking results.

Hints and tips about steam cooking
● Don't cover the pans or pots. This would not
allow steam to come in contact with the food.
●
You can also place food directly on the oven
shelf, as shown in Fig. 8. In that case, always
place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with
some water in it, to avoid smoke and
unpleasant smells.
● If you need to open the oven door and check
the food, always remember to switch off the
steam cooking function by turning the function
control knob on symbol
. After having
checked it, turn back the function control knob
on symbol
to make the steam function
operate again.
Steam can condense and produce water droplets
on the oven door glass. This is quite normal and
is not caused by fault of the oven. We recommend
you to wipe away condensation after all
cookings.
