General Instructions
• For cooking times longer than 30 minutes or when cooking larger

quantities, top up with water, if necessary.

• If not used for long periods, thoroughly rinse out the water drawer,

connecting hoses and steam generator (see Chapter “Care and Clean-
ing”).

How to use the Steam Cooking Tables
The following tables give the required temperature settings, cooking
times and shelf positions for a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and cooking times are for guidance only, as these will

depend on the composition and size of the food, the quantity of
items and type of ovenware.

• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the

one that is most similar.

• Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that

steam cooking is started with the oven cold.
