Steam cooking

Overview

Steam cooking presents nothing but advantages if you follow the instructions for use. Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the full ﬂ avour of foods. A delicate sauce or aromatic herb seasonings add that something extra that makes the difference.

This kind of cooking releases no odours. There is no need to season the cooking water with salt, herbs or spices; however, you can ﬂ avour a ﬁ sh by placing it on a bed of seaweed or make a savoury poultry dish by adding a bunch of rosemary or tarragon.

You can simultaneously cook meat, ﬁ sh and vegetables.

Compared to boiling, steaming offers nothing but advantages:

Cooking starts immediately whereas for food in a water-ﬁ lled pan, the cook time only begins counting down once the water returns to a full boil.

It is healthy: vitamins (those that are water soluble) and minerals are well preserved because they scarcely dissolve in the condensation water that touches the food.

Moreover, no fats are used for this type of cooking.

The steam maintains the taste of food. It does not add odours, nor the taste of the grill or the pan. Furthermore, it takes nothing away because the food is not diluted in the water.

Steam does not spread tastes or odours therefore do not hesitate to save both time and money by cooking items at the same time, but without touching. For example, you can cook a ﬁ sh next to a dessert.

Cut into pieces, food cooks faster and more evenly than if left whole.

Steam is also appropriate for blanching, defrosting and reheating or even keeping foods warm, especially sauces.

First use a very small amount of fat to heat meats like poultry, veal and pork so that they take on an appetizing browned appearance. Then ﬁ nish cooking them using the steam method.

Words of advice: there is no point in using this cooking method to prepare ﬁ sh that is not fresh or vegetables left in the refrigerator for a week: the results will be catastrophic!

KITVAPIX (Optional accessory) The 2-dish kit for steamer includes: 1 x rack. 1 x perforated stainless steel dish. 1 x condensation dish.

The dishes and the rack may be cleaned in the dishwasher.

DESCRIPTION

Removable tank

Tank that allows for independent water supply to the steamer. Its capacity is approximately one litre (maximum level).

Tap water can sometimes be too hard. Lightly mineralised, still, bottled water will be more effective in cleaning your oven.

Using demineralised water is prohibited (not for human consumption). Please do not use decalciﬁ ed water or water treated by a water decalciﬁ er. This can cause damage to the steam generator.

INSTALLATION

Before connecting the steamer

Warning

Ensure that your appliance has not suffered any damage during transport (deformed seal or door, etc.). If you see any kind of damage, before doing anything else, contact your retailer.

In order to easily locate the reference information for your appliance, we recommend that you note this information on the “After-Sales Service Department and Customer Relations” page.

Electrical connections

Ensure that:

• the electrical installation has sufﬁ cient voltage;

• the electrical wires are in good condition;

• the diameter of the wires complies with the installation requirements;

• your electrical installation is equipped with 16-ampere thermalsensitive protection.

In case of doubt, consult your electrician-installer.

The electrical connections are made before the appliance is installed in its housing.

The appliance must be installed correctly to ensure electrical safety. During installation and maintenance operations, the appliance must be unplugged from the electrical grid; fuses must be cut off or removed.

The oven must be connected with a power cable (standardised) with three 1.5 mm² conductors (1 ph + 1 N + ground) that must be connected to a monophase 220-240 V network via a CEI 60083 standardised receptacle (1 ph +1 N + ground lead) or in accordance with installation rules. The safety wire (green/yellow) is connected to the appliance’s terminal and must be connected to the installation earth.

In the case of connections with an electric receptacle, it must remain accessible after installation of the appliance.

The oven’s neutral conductor (blue wire) must be connected to the network’s neutral conductor.

In the electrical connection, ensure there is a means available to the user to ensure they are able to disconnect the appliance from the outlet, either by pulling the plug from the outlet or by turning off a switch, in compliance with installation rules.

If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service department or by a qualiﬁ ed person to avoid danger.

Warning

We cannot be held responsible for any accident resulting from a non-existent, defective or incorrect earth lead.
