Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Danger of burning. The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven interior, cooked food, oven accessories or hot steam. Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. Take care when putting cooking containers into the oven or removing them not to spill the contents.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed jars
and tins. Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.
Plastic dishes which are not heat- and steam resistant melt at high
temperatures and can damage the appliance. Use temperature- (to 100°C) and steam-resistant plastic dishes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Food which is left in the oven to be kept hot can dry out and the
moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the appliance. Do not use the steam oven for keeping food warm and do not use utensils in the appliance which could corrode.
You could injure yourself on the open oven door.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,
near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
The steam oven is designed in such a way that there will always
be a little residual water left in the water container after use. If there is no residual water, there is something wrong. Call the Service Department.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not immerse the water container in water, or clean it in a
dishwasher. Connecting the water container into the appliance when wet could cause an electric shock.
For reasons of hygiene and to prevent the build-up of moisture in
the appliance, the water container should be emptied after each use.
Danger of burning. There may be some residual hot water in the
water container at the end of a cooking process. Take care not to spill the contents when taking the water container out of the appliance.

20
Using for the first time

Set the water hardness level

The steam oven is set ex-works for hard water. It must be adjusted to local water hardness to ensure trouble-free operation and to ensure that descaling is carried out at the correct interval. The harder the water, the more often it will need to be descaled.
Check the hardness of your local
water supply and adjust the setting if necessary (see "Settings").

Set the correct boiling point for water

Before cooking food for the first time, you must set the boiling point for water, as this varies depending on the altitude the appliance is located at. This procedure also flushes out the waterways.
This process must be carried out to ensure efficient functioning of your appliance.
Run the steam oven at 100°C for
15minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation".

Set the correct boiling point for water following a house move

If you move house, the appliance will need to be re-set for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by 300m or more. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care - Descaling").

General notes

This section contains general information. 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 also retains its fresh, original 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 (see "Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose the most suitable container for the food you are cooking.
It is best to use perforated containers for steam cooking. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers. However, please note the following:
– Containers must be 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.
– Place the cooking container in a
sufficiently large perforated container, not on the oven floor.
– Ensure that there is a gap between
the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container.

Condensate tray

When using perforated containers, place the condensate tray on the lowest shelf level to collect any drops of liquid and allow them to be removed easily.
You can also use the condensate tray as a cooking container if necessary.
26
General notes

Shelf level

You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration.
Always insert cooking containers and the rack between the rails of the side runners so that they cannot tip.

Frozen food

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.

Temperature

A maximum temperature of 100°C is reached when steam cooking is taking place. 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 a food warming drawer When the warming drawer is in use the oven cavity in the steam oven can get 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.

Duration

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 to start with. 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 container ²/₃full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.

Your own recipes

Food which is cooked in a 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.
27

Steam cooking

Vegetables

Fresh

Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.

Frozen

Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand, unless they have been frozen together in a block.
Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together.
Break up vegetables that have frozen together in a lump and follow instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration.

Cooking containers

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 food, and only fill it about 3-5cm deep. When cooking large quantities divide the food between 2 or 3 shallow containers rather than using one deep one.

Shelf level

To avoid any colour transfer when cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container, do not place other food underneath the perforated container.

Duration

As with conventional methods, the cooking duration when cooking vegetables with steam will depend on the size and how well done you want them. Example: firm potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 17minutes firm potatoes, cut in half = approx. 21minutes

Settings

Temperature: 100°C Duration: see chart
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.
28
Steam cooking
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 duration it can be put back in the oven and cooked for longer.
