Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Heating-up phase
During the heating-up phase the oven compartment is heated
to the set temperature. The display will show the temperature
of the cooking compartment as it rises.
The duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the
quantity and the temperature of the food. In general the
heating-up phase will last for approx. 7 minutes. The duration
will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.
Filling the water container with hot water will shorten the
heating-up time.
Cooking phase
The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is
reached. During the cooking phase the duration remaining
(time left) will be shown in the display.
Please refer to "Steam cooking" and "Special applications"
for more information and tips on how to use your steam

of washing-up liquid and hot water and then dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
19
Before using for the first time
Setting the water hardness level
The steam oven is set at the factory to the hard (S04) water
hardness setting. It must be adjusted to local water hardness
to ensure problem-free operation and so that descaling can
be carried out at the correct interval. The harder the water,
the more often the appliance will need to be descaled.
Check the hardness of your local water supply and adjust
^
the water hardness as necessary (see "Settings").
Setting the correct boiling point for water
Before cooking food for the first time, you must set the boiling
point for water, as this varies according to the altitude of the
location of the appliance. This procedure adjusts the
appliance to the altitude in your area and also flushes out the
waterways.
This process must be carried out to ensure efficient
functioning of your appliance.
^ Run the appliance at 100 °C for 15 minutes. Proceed as
described in "Brief operating instructions".
20
If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for
the new altitude if this differs from the old one by more than
300 m. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and
care / Descaling").

General notes
This section contains general information about steam
cooking. You will find more detailed information about
particular foods and how to cook them in the other sections.
The advantages of cooking with steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is
not immersed in water.
Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food
better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend
seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food retains its
fresh, orginal colour.
Suitable containers
Cooking containers
This steam oven is supplied with stainless steel cooking
containers.
Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and
solid, are available as optional extras (please refer to
"Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose the most
suitable container for the food you are preparing.
Your own containers
26
It is best to use perforated containers if possible. The steam
can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked
evenly.
You can also use your own containers. Please note:
–
If using plastic cooking containers, make sure that they are
heat-resistant to 100 °C and able to withstand hot steam.
With plastic containers please check with the manufacturer
that they are suitable for use in a steam oven.
–
Thick-sided containers made from porcelain, china or
stoneware, for example, are not so suitable for steam
cooking. They do not conduct heat well and as a result
cooking durations will be considerably longer than those
given in the charts.
Condensate tray
Shelf level
General notes
Place the cooking container in a sufficiently large
–
perforated container, not on the oven floor.
Ensure that there is a gap of at least 3 cm between the
–
upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking
compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container.
When using a perforated cooking container, push the
condensate tray onto the lowest shelf runner to catch any
drips.
You can also use the condensate tray as a cooking container
if necessary.
You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several
levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking
duration.
Frozen food
Temperature
The heating up phase for frozen food is longer than for fresh
food. The greater the quantity of frozen food, the longer the
heating up phase.
A maximum temperature of 100 °C is reached in the steam
oven. Most types of food will cook at this temperature. Some
more delicate types of food, such as soft fruit, must be
cooked at lower temperatures as otherwise they will burst.
More information is given in the relevant section.
Combination with food warming drawers
When the warming drawer is in use, the oven cavity can
reach a temperature of up to 40 °C. If in this case you set a
temperature of 40 °C, no steam will be produced because the
oven cavity is too warm.
27
General notes
Cooking duration (time)
In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are
the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More
information about any factors which may affect the cooking
duration is given in the relevant sections.
The quantity of food does not affect the cooking duration.
1 kg of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 500 g.
The durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We
recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted. If
food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time it can be
put back in the oven and cooked for longer.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the cooking container2/3full
to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is
removed from the oven.
Your own recipes
28
Food and recipes which are prepared in pot or a pan can
also be cooked in the steam oven. The cooking times in the
steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be
brown or crisp when cooking with steam.
Vegetables
Fresh
Frozen
Cooking containers
Steam cooking
Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean
and cut them up.
Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand,
Exception: vegetables frozen in a block.
Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of
time to cook can be cooked together.
If vegetables have frozen together in clumps, break these up
before cooking with steam. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration.
Food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have little or
no space between them will take longer to cook because the
steam has less space to work in. For an even result, it is best
to use a shallow container for these types of foods, and only
fill it 3-5 cm deep. When cooking large quantities divide the
food between 2 or 3 shallow cooking containers rather than
using one deep one.
Shelf level
Different types of vegetables which take the same length of
time to cook can be cooked together.
Use solid containers for vegetables which are cooked in
liquid.
When cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g
beetroot) in a perforated container, place the perforated
container directly above the condensate tray to avoid any
colour transfer.
29
Steam cooking
Cooking duration
Settings
As with conventional methods, when cooking vegetables with
steam the cooking duration will depend on the size and also
whether you want the vegetables to be al dente or soft/well
done. Example:
waxy potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 18 minutes
waxy potatoes, cut in half = approx. 22 minutes
Brussels sprouts, large, al dente = approx. 12 minutes
Brussels sprouts, small, soft = approx. 12 minutes
Temperature: 100 °C
Duration: See chart
The durations given in the chart are guidelines for fresh
vegetables. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking
duration quoted. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the
shorter time it can be put back in the oven and cooked for
longer.
