DESCRIPTION - 63914779559/B
Advantages of steam cooking
The steam cooking system cooks any type of
food much smoother and faster and finds its
main applications for:
• Braising and stewing
•Cooking sauces
• Cooking au gratin
•Roasting
•Low temperature cooking
• Regenerating
• Multi-mode cooking
Variations in temperature and steam levels allow
the wished gastronomic result to be achieved.
The addition of steam allows the use of less fat in
favour of a healthier and more genuine cuisine.
It also minimizes the loss of weight and volume
in food while cooking.
Steam cooking is particularly suitable for
cooking meat: in addition to making it very soft,
it maintains it bright and makes it more succulent.
Also recommended for baking leavened and
bread dough. The humidity in fact lets the dough
grow and develop while cooking before
creating the outer crust. The result is a lighter and
USE
more digestible dough, recognizable by thicker
pockets.
It is also ideal for defrosting food 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.
Cooking containers
• You may also use your own containers for
cooking, as long as they are resistant to high
temperatures.
• For steam cooking, the use of metal
containers is recommended. Metal
facilitates better distribution of heat to the
foods.
• It is normal for metal containers to deform
somewhat during high-temperature cooking,
but they will return to their original shape
when they cool down.
• Thick ceramic plates may require more heat
than normal. Longer cooking times may be
necessary.
Preliminary operations
See General safety instructions.
• Remove any protective film from the outside
or inside of the appliance, including
accessories.
• Remove any labels (apart from the technical
data plate) from the accessories and
shelves.
• Remove and wash all the appliance
accessories (see chapter "CLEANING
AND MAINTENANCE").
First heating
1. Set a cooking time of at least one hour (see
paragraph "Using the oven").
2. Heat the empty oven compartment at the

At the end an acoustic signal sounds and the
display shows .
7. Turn the function knob to position 0 to exit
the function.
It is recommended to drain at the end of
each cooking, to prevent any residue of
unused water from remaining inside the
reservoir.
After a long period of inactivity it is
recommended to make a reservoir
filling and draining cycle to rinse the
steam circuit.
8. Drain the water from the deep pan.
Take care: the water may be very hot.
The drained water cannot be used for
other cooking.
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.
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.
68 - USE 914779559/B
e
• 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.
Tips:
• Preferably use fresh, high quality raw
materials well-preserved until cooked.
• To improve the cooking result, dressings can
be added inside the bag.
• Clean the food well from bones or fishbones
that could pierce the bag and damage the
cooking.
• Do not leave the food to be cooked for too
long at room temperature as the bag may
swell during cooking, losing all the
advantages of vacuum.
• The food to be vacuum-packed for Sous
Vide cooking or storage must be at a
refrigerator temperature (from 3°C to 7°C),
never hot.
• Keep the products in a vacuum (cooked
and then blast chilled) at a constant
temperature not exceeding 3°C in the
refrigerator.
• For even cooking, do not overfill the bags
and place the food in the best possible way
on a single layer.
• If you are cooking multiple bags at the same
time, place the bags on the same shelf
without overlapping them.
• Do not reuse the bags after cooking.
To select the Sous Vide cooking:
1. Turn the knob to the
function.
2. For settings, see the procedure described in
the "Steam cooking" paragraph.
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 810 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
