Page 13
Suitable containers
Stainless steel cooking containers are
supplied with the appliance.
Other containers are available in a
variety of sizes, both perforated and
solid, as optional accessories.
Please note when selecting cookware:
Use perforated cooking containers
–
whenever possible. The steam can
reach the food from all sides and
cook evenly.
For thicker items, e.g. potatoes, build
–
larger spaces between them. It is
best to space food as much as
possible so steam can surround
each piece. Larger and deeper
containers can be used for larger
items.
– Dense dishes such as casseroles or
food such as peas or asparagus
which have little space between
them will take longer to cook
because the steam has less space to
work in. The more of this type of food
the container becomes filled with, the
longer the cooking time will be. It is
best to use 2 or 3 shallow containers
for these foods. The recommended
cooking times are for shallow
containers. For larger fill heights the
cooking time is extended.
You can also use your own containers
and dishes. However, please note the
following:
The container must be heat resistant
–
up to 212°F (100°C). Heat resistant
glass, ceramics, porcelain
(chinaware), plastics, stainless steel
or enamel dishes are all suitable.
Food will take longer to cook in a
–
dish with thick sides.
Place the dish on the supplied rack.
–
Ensure that there is a gap of at least
–
1" (3 cm) between the upper rim of
the container and the top of the
cooking compartment to allow
sufficient steam into the container.
See "Cooking tips" for more information.

Using the steam oven
Selecting the duration
A duration between 1 minute (0:01) and
5 hours 59 minutes (5:59) can be
selected for the cooking process.
If the duration is longer than
59 minutes, it has to be set in hours and
minutes.
Example: Duration 80 minutes = 1:20.
Select the desired duration using the
^
number keys.
Cooking time (duration)
recommendations are shown in the
following tables, see "Cooking tips".
The cooking time depends on the size
of the food not on the amount. For
example, potatoes with a large
diameter need a longer cooking time
then ones with a smaller diameter.
The recommended times are stated for
an overall amount of8-10portions.
Use suitable cookware.
Starting a function
The oven is factory set to start
automatically a few seconds after the
duration is selected. To start the oven
right away select the "Start" sensor.
See "Settings" for more information to
set the start permanently to a manual
start.
After the start a fan noise and a steam
generating noise is heard.
During the heating phase the rise in
temperature is displayed.
Once the selected temperature is
reached, the cooking process starts
and the cooking time will elapse.
When cooking cooled or frozen food,
the interior temperature is lowered in
the beginning then rises very slowly.
The overall time is reached by adding
the heat up time and the selected
cooking time. The heat up and cooking
times depend on the food amount and
the food temperature.

Cooking tips
Tips for steaming
The cooking times for cooking with
–
steam are almost the same as
cooking in a pot.
The steam prevents the food from
–
drying out and the disadvantages
come with it. The food stays moist
and juicy. The same is true not only
for vegetables but also for desserts,
fish and meat recipes.
You can cook on any level or on
–
multiple levels at a time. The cooking
time will not change.
– The food will not brown and does not
get a crust. The food is gently
steamed, not fried or baked. Cheese
will melt but not brown. Steaming
food is healthy and accentuates its
flavor.
– When cooking frozen food,
e.g. vegetables, break up large
clumps so they cook evenly. The
cooking time is approximately the
same as for fresh vegetables.
–
Frozen and fresh vegetables with the
same cooking time can be steamed
together.
–
Since steam cooking retains flavors
so well, food should not be seasoned
until after it has been cooked.
Follow the cooking time for pasta on
–
the packaging.
The cooking liquid gets absorbed by
–
some food (e.g. rice). With other food
it can be used for gravy or sauces.
You can prepare gravy in the steam
–
oven by adding flour and butter to
the liquid.
Grease the perforated container
–
when cooking fish. Grease the solid
container when cooking eggs,
e.g. scrambled eggs.
To avoid any transfer of tastes
–
caused by moisture dripping from
above, perforated containers should
be inserted in the lower runner and
the solid containers should be
placed on the rack in an upper level.
– Yeast dough can be proofed in the
steam oven. Select the "Custom"
function and lower the default
temperature to 104°F (40°C). Cover
the dough.
–
The weight in the automatic program
is the weight per piece. The setting and therefore the cooking time - stay
the same, regardless if you cook only
one piece of salmon 0.5 lbs or ten
pieces of salmon 0.5 lbs at the same
time.
–
When cooking with liquids only fill the
containers
–
Food like noodles or rice need to be
3
/4of the way.
cooked in fluids. Noodles should be
well covered with fluid. Rice, beans
and cereals need to be cooked in
equal amounts of food and water.

Cooking tips
Defrosting frozen foods
Defrosting times depend on the type
and weight of the food and at what
temperature it was deep-frozen.
Insert the food in a container or on
^
the rack.
Select the function "Defrost".
^
If desired, adjust the default
^
temperature (see table).
Select the defrost time (see table).
^
Allow food to stand at room
^
temperature after defrosting. This
standing time (see table) is
necessary to ensure that the food is
fully defrosted.
Tips for defrosting
Do not cook with defrosting
,
liquids.
When defrosting poultry, set the food
–
on the rack and insert the drip tray
beneath it. This prevents the food
from lying in the defrosting liquid.
To defrost non dripping food, remove
–
the wrapping and place it on the rack
or in a container.
Fish does not need to be fully
–
defrosted before cooking. Defrost it
so that the surface is sufficiently
thawed to take herbs and seasoning.
Fish coated with breadcrumbs
should be fully defrosted so that the
coating sticks.
– Turn, stir or separate food about
halfway through the defrosting
period.
– Do not refreeze food once it has
been defrosted.
–
Defrost deep frozen, precooked
meals according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
–
Defrost baked items such as pastry
or cakes in a closed freezer bag.

levels or place them side by side on
the rack.
In general, cooking durations will vary
according to the type of food. This
means that you will need to open the
steam oven at different times to add a
particular dish. Our test kitchen
recommends the following procedure,
as shown in this example
(Function: Custom / 212°F (100 °C)).
Rice ...................20minutes
Fish fillet .................6minutes
Broccoli .................4minutes
Meal planning
First place the dish with the longest
^
cooking duration (the rice), in the
oven and set a duration of
20 minutes.
As soon as the set temperature has
^
been reached, set the timer for the
difference between the first and
second cooking durations, i.e. the
time until the second dish has to be
placed in the oven (14 minutes).
Confirm with "OK".
When the timer sounds, place the
^
second dish (the fish fillet) in the
oven.
^ As soon as the set temperature has
been reached, set the timer for the
time until the third dish (the broccoli)
has to be placed in the oven (2
minutes). Confirm with "OK".
^ When the timer sounds, place the
third dish (the broccoli) in the oven.
^ At the end of the cooking duration
you can remove all the dishes at the
same time.
