Installing your appliance

CHOICE OF LOCATION

The above diagrams show the dimensions required for a cabinet to contain your oven. The oven may be installed either under a worktop or in a full-height unit (open or closed) that has the appropriate dimensions for built-in installation.

• For greater stability, secure the oven in the cabinet with two screws through the holes provided for this purpose on the side panels.

1) Drill a pilot hole in the cabinet panel to avoid splitting the wood.

2) Secure the oven with the two screws.

Tip

To be certain that you have installed your appliance correctly, do not hesitate to contact a household appliance specialist.

Note

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

If the electrical installation in your residence requires any changes for connecting your appliance, call a qualified electrician.

If the oven malfunctions in any way, unplug the appliance or remove the fuse for the circuit to which the oven is connected.

The appliance must be fitted correctly to ensure electrical safety. During fitting and maintenance operations, the appliance must be unplugged from the electrical system; fuses must be switched off or removed. The electrical connections are made before the appliance is installed in its housing.

Ensure that:

- the electrical installation has sufficient power,

- the electrical wires are in good condition,

- the diameter of the conductors complies with the requirements of the installation.

Your oven must be connected with a (standardised) power cable with three conductors of 1 mm² (1ph + 1N + earth) which must be connected to a 220-240V~single-phase supply via a 1ph + 1 neutral + earth IEC 60083 standardised power socket or via an all-pole cut-off device in compliance with installation rules.

Installing your appliance

Note

The safety wire (green-yellow) is connected to the appliance’s terminal and must be connected to the electrical installation’s earth system. Where connected to a wall socket, the socket must remain accessible after installation.

The circuit should be protected with a 10 Amp fuse. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its After-Sales Service Department or a similarly qualified person to prevent danger.

ACCESSORIES

•

• Food dish (fig.1)

Perforated stainless steel dish preventing contact between the food and condensation water.

• Condensate dish (fig.2)

Stainless steel dish for the recovery of condensation water.

• Shelf (fig.3)

Stainless steel removable shelf: must be used when cooking.

• Removable tank (fig.4)

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

Using softer water will make it easier to care for your oven.

The use of demineralised water is prohibited (not food quality). The use of softened water may deteriorate the surface of the steam generator, Bottled mineral water should be used for preference.

The dishes may be cleaned in a dishwasher.

fig.1

fig.2

fig.4

When cooking, place the dish in fig. 1 on the dish in fig.2 counter to each other, so that that they do not nest (see diagram opposite). For storage, fit the dish in fig. 1 into the dish in fig. 2, so that they nest.

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 appetising browned appearance. Then finish cooking them using the steam method.

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

Operating principle

The water contained in the tank arrives in the cavity via a pipe. This water is transformed into steam when it comes into contact with the hot surface of the floor of the cavity: this is the steam generator. There is no need to add water to the cooking dish. To ensure REAL STEAM COOKING, your oven is supplied with specially designed cookware that will produce perfect cooking.

General

There are only advantages to steam cooking, if you follow the instructions for use. Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the full flavour of foods. A delicate sauce or aromatic herb seasoning adds that something extra that makes the difference.

This kind of cooking produces no cooking smells. There is no need to season the cooking water with herbs or spices; however, you can flavour a fish by placing it on a bed of seaweed or make a savoury poultry dish by adding a bunch of rosemary or tarragon.

You can cook meat, fish and vegetables simultaneously.

Steam cooking gently reheats pasta, rice and mashed potatoes with no risk of food sticking or drying out.

It facilitates cooking custard creams and tarts, rice pudding...covered with aluminium foil, food is not wetted by condensation water.

There is no need to add salt before cooking, not even the steam water.

To make meat look more appetising, quickly brown it on all sides in a frying pan using hot butter.

Compared to boiling, steaming offers only advantages:

It is quick: cooking starts immediately whereas for food in a water-filled dish, 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.

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.

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

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