Advantages of steam cooking
The steam cooking system cooks any type
of food much more delicately.
It is also ideal for defrosting foods rapidly,
for heating up foods without hardening or
drying them out, and for naturally removing
salt from foodstuffs preserved with salt.
It is not recommended for short cooking
times or for foods that may produce a large
amount of moisture during cooking.
Preliminary operations
1. Remove any protective film from the
outside or inside of the appliance,
including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate) from the
accessories and from the oven cavity.
3. Remove all the accessories from the
appliance and wash them (see ”4
Cleaning and maintenance”).
4. Heat the empty oven at the maximum
temperature to burn off any residues left
by the manufacturing process.
3.1 Using the accessories

Use
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the
side guides until they come to a complete
stop.
• The mechanical safety locks that prevent
the racks and trays from being removed
accidentally must face downwards and
towards the back of the oven cavity.
2+1 configuration
If you intend to use the perforated tray for
steam cooking, this must be positioned on
the second runner while the tray must be

Advice for steam cooking
• Pasta and rice: upon reaching 100°C,
the cooking time will be the same as with
cooking on a hob. Place the pasta or
rice in a metal tray and cover with
around a centimetre of water. For best
results when cooking rice, place a lid on
the container or cover with aluminium foil.
This procedure allows the rice to absorb
all the water, and it can then be served
directly to the table.
• Eggs: these may be boiled, scrambled
or poached by using the steam function
at 100°C. To obtain perfect boiled
eggs, place them on the perforated tray
and cook for 4-6 minutes for soft boiled
eggs and 8-10 minutes for hard-boiled
eggs. For scrambled eggs, place the
beaten eggs in a metal tray together with
milk, butter and seasoning. Cover the
tray with aluminium foil. Mix every
couple of minutes using a fork. For
poached eggs, pour boiling water into
the metal tray with a drop of vinegar and
steam cook for around 4-5 minutes.
• Vegetables: steam cooking vegetables
gives excellent results. They maintain their
colour, flavour and nutritional properties.
For dense vegetables such as potatoes,
turnips and parsnips, cook at 100°C for
the same length of time you would boil
them on a hob. For broccoli and carrots,
cook for 6 minutes if you want them to
remain firm, or 10 minutes if you want
them to be softer.
• Fish: due to the delicate nature of fish,
steaming gives excellent results. For oily fish
such as salmon or trout, cook at 100°C for
around 5 minutes. For white fish such as
cod or haddock, cook at 80°C for
around 5 minutes. If you are cooking
different foods, all fish must be cooked in
the perforated tray which must be placed
on the bottom shelf of the oven to avoid
liquid from the fish dripping onto other
food products.
• Meat: casseroles and curries are ideal
for steam cooking. Prepare the casserole
as for normal oven cooking. Place it in a
metal tray, cover with a lid or aluminium
foil, and cook for between 45 minutes
and 3 hours depending on the cut of
meat used.
• Thin soups: steam cooking allows
flavours to develop perfectly with
minimum effort, as the liquids will not
boil over. For vegetable soup with the
correct consistency, first steam the
vegetables, then add broth and steam
cook at 100°C. The steam function is
also ideal for preparing large quantities
for later use.
• Soups: Thicker soups are also easy and
quick to prepare. Place the soup in a
metal tray, cover with a lid or aluminium
foil and steam cook at 100° C for the
same time you would cook it in a
microwave oven. To obtain a creamy
texture stir halfway through cooking.
EN
131
Use
• Reheating: the steam cooking function
will not dry foods out and gives a moister
result. A previously prepared homecooked meal, covered with aluminium
foil, will take around 10-12 minutes to
reheat. Ready meals will require
approximately double the time indicated
on the package.
• Defrosting: it is possible to use the steam
function to defrost foods. Times vary, but
defrosting with the steam cooking
function takes around half the time
necessary for covered foods left to
defrost at room temperature.
• Peeling peppers and tomatoes: this is
very easy to do when using the steam
function. Use a knife to cut a small cross
in the skin of the tomato, and steam cook
for 1 minute. Peppers have tougher skin,
and may require up to 4 minutes to
soften it sufficiently for peeling.
• Chocolate: this can be melted using the
steam cooking function. Place the
chocolate in a metal tray, cover with
aluminium foil and steam cook for 1
minute. Unlike other methods, chocolate
is unlikely to burn in the steam oven.
• Hot towels: ideal for facial treatments, a
close shave or for use after a meal, these
are easy to prepare using the steam
cooking function. Moisten a towel with
water, roll it up and steam it for 1 minute.
Sous vide cooking
SOUS VIDE
Steam function for perfect cooking inside a
sealed bag. The food’s flavours are
enhanced and no nutrients are lost.
The bag containing the food can
be placed on the perforated tray
or on a rack positioned on the first
or second shelf.
Sous vide cooking in a steam oven is the
best way to cook food without altering its
nutritional properties and quality. It is also
an extremely healthy and natural type of
cooking.
• The Sous vide technique allows the heat
to be transferred efficiently from the
steam to the food, preventing the loss of
flavour through the oxidation and
evaporation of nutrients and humidity
during cooking.
• Sous vide cooking also allows greater
control over the cooking compared to
traditional methods and ensures that
cooking is uniform.
• It also allows cooking to be carried out
at lower temperatures compared to
traditional cooking methods.
132
Use
For Sous vide cooking you need to:
• Have a chamber vacuum packing
machine that allows you to achieve a
better and safer vacuum for solid and
liquid foods.
• Make sure that the seal area of the bag
is clean and free from food residues.
• Hermetically seal the food in a special
food grade bag that can withstand the
cooking temperatures.
• Create a vacuum in the bag of at
least 99.8% to prevent air bubbles
forming inside that could affect the
cooking.
• If you have a Smeg vacuum drawer, use
the maximum vacuum level (level 3).
Once cooked, it is recommended to
remove the product from the bag and finish
cooking it in a pan or by grilling.
Useful tips:
• It is recommended to use fresh, quality
foodstuffs that have been well preserved
until cooked.
• Seasoning can be added to the bag in
order to improve cooking results.
• Remove all bones from the foods that
could pierce the bag and affect cooking.
• Do not leave the food to be cooked at
room temperature for too long as the
bag may inflate during cooking and lose
all the advantages of vacuum sealing it.
• The food to be vacuum-sealed for Sous
vide cooking or to preserve it should be
at fridge temperature (3°C to 7°C),
never hot.
• Keep vacuum-sealed products
(cooked and then blast chilled) in the
fridge at a constant temperature and
not above 3°C.
• In order to cook the food uniformly,
place the food on one layer and do not
overfill the bags.
• If you are cooking different foods at the
same time, place the bags on the same
shelf without overlapping them.
• Do not reuse the bags after cooking.
