Installing your appliance
CHOICE OF LOCATION
The above diagrams show the dimensions required for a cabinet
to contain your oven.
The oven may be installed either under a worktop or in a full-height
unit (open or closed) that has the appropriate dimensions for
built-in installation.
• For greater stability, secure the oven in the cabinet with two
screws through the holes provided for this purpose on the side
panels.
1) Drill a pilot hole in the cabinet panel to avoid splitting the wood.
2) Secure the oven with the two screws.

Tip
To be certain that you have installed your
appliance correctly, do not hesitate to contact a
household appliance specialist.
Note
We cannot be held responsible for any accident
resulting from a non-existent, defective or
incorrect earth connection..
If the electrical installation in your residence
requires any changes for connecting your
appliance, call a qualified electrician.
If the oven malfunctions in any way, unplug the
appliance or remove the fuse for the circuit to
which the oven is connected.

The appliance must be fitted correctly to ensure electrical safety.
During fitting and maintenance operations, the appliance must be
unplugged from the electrical system; fuses must be switched off
or removed.
The electrical connections are made before the appliance is
installed in its housing.
Ensure that:
- the electrical installation has sufficient power,
- the electrical wires are in good condition,
- the diameter of the conductors complies with the requirements
of the installation.
Your oven must be connected with a (standardised) power cable
with three conductors of 1 mm² (1ph + 1N + earth) which must be
connected to a 220-240V~single-phase supply via a
1ph + 1 neutral + earth IEC 60083 standardised power socket or
via an all-pole cut-off device in compliance with installation rules.
Installing your appliance
Note
The safety wire (green-yellow) is connected to the
appliance’s terminal and must be connected to
the electrical installation’s earth system.
Where connected to a wall socket, the socket must
remain accessible after installation.
The circuit should be protected with a 10 Amp fuse.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its After-Sales Service Department
or a similarly qualified person to prevent danger.

Perforated stainless steel dish preventing contact between the food and
condensation water.
• Condensate dish (fig.2)
Stainless steel dish for the recovery of condensation water.
• Shelf (fig.3)
Stainless steel removable shelf: must be used when cooking.
• Removable tank (fig.4)
Tank for the independent water supply to the oven.
Its capacity is approximately one litre (maximum level).
Using softer water will make it easier to care for your oven.
The use of demineralised water is prohibited (not food
quality). The use of softened water may deteriorate the
surface of the steam generator, Bottled mineral water
should be used for preference.
The dishes may be cleaned in a dishwasher.

When cooking, place the dish in fig. 1 on the dish in fig.2

For storage, fit the dish in fig. 1 into the dish in fig. 2, so that
they nest.

EN
Steam is also appropriate for blanching, defrosting and
reheating or even keeping foods warm, especially sauces.
First use a very small amount of fat to heat meats like poultry,
veal and pork so that they take on an appetising browned
appearance. Then finish cooking them using the steam
method.
Cut into pieces, food cooks faster and more evenly than if left
whole.
Operating principle
The water contained in the tank arrives in the cavity via a pipe.
This water is transformed into steam when it comes into contact
with the hot surface of the floor of the cavity: this is the steam
generator.
There is no need to add water to the cooking dish. To ensure
REAL STEAM COOKING, your oven is supplied with specially
designed cookware that will produce perfect cooking.
General
There are only advantages to steam cooking, if you follow the
instructions for use. Healthy and natural, steam cooking
preserves the full flavour of foods. A delicate sauce or
aromatic herb seasoning adds that something extra that
makes the difference.
This kind of cooking produces no cooking smells. There is no
need to season the cooking water with herbs or spices;
however, you can flavour a fish by placing it on a bed of
seaweed or make a savoury poultry dish by adding a bunch of
rosemary or tarragon.
You can cook meat, fish and vegetables simultaneously.
Steam cooking gently reheats pasta, rice and mashed
potatoes with no risk of food sticking or drying out.
It facilitates cooking custard creams and tarts, rice
pudding...covered with aluminium foil, food is not wetted by
condensation water.
There is no need to add salt before cooking, not even the
steam water.
To make meat look more appetising, quickly brown it on all
sides in a frying pan using hot butter.
Compared to boiling, steaming offers only advantages:
It is quick: cooking starts immediately whereas for food in a
water-filled dish, the cook time only begins counting down
once the water returns to a full boil.
It is healthy: vitamins (those that are water soluble) and
minerals are well preserved because they scarcely dissolve in
the condensation water that touches the food.
Moreover, no fats are used for this type of cooking.
Steam maintains the taste of food. It does not add odours, nor
the taste of the grill or the pan. Furthermore, it takes nothing
away because the food is not diluted in the water.
Words of advice: there is no point in using this cooking
method to prepare fish that is not fresh or vegetables left in
the refrigerator for a week: the results will be catastrophic!
Steam does not spread tastes or odours therefore do not
hesitate to save both time and money by cooking items side by
side, but without touching. For example, you can cook a fish
next to a dessert.
Steam cooking

Notes
• These times depend on the
type, size and freshness of
the vegetables. Follow the
indications that appear in
the
“Preparations” column.
• The cooking time remains
the same regardless of the
quantity to be cooked.
For
example
: 1 or 4 artichokes
require the same cooking
time.
• To check the level of
cooking, insert the tip of a
knife into the thickest part
of the vegetable; if it is
cooked there should be no
resistance.
• Place the shellfish on the
grid of the glass dish, add
aromatic herbs.
• Place them on a bed of
seaweed.
• Times depend on ripeness.
•*Steaks: round slices of fish
of 2 to 3 cm in thickness
(180/200 g) per person.
• Insist on very fresh products.
• Place whole fish in the dish
as is or on bay leaves, fennel
or other aromatic herbs.
As soon as cooking is
complete, remove the skin,
which will detach easily.
•Then brown under the grill
in another dish.
• Fluff with a fork when
cooking is complete.
Boiled: placed directly on the grid.
Sunny side up: broken in an individual dish placed on the shelf and covered
with cooking foil.
Cocotte: see detailed recipes.
Place directly in a dish then cover with water or milk. The steam is not sufficient to saturate these inflating
foods. Place a sheet of aluminium foil on the dish to prevent water droplets from falling on to the food.
Roast 800 g.: 55 to 60 min.

Maintenance
•Cavity (after each use)
Wipe the cavity with a dry cloth after the steam generator has
cooled or let the cavity air-dry by leaving the door open.
•Water intake tube
Remove the water intake tube by unscrewing it.
Remove any hard-water deposits that may be inside (using a
thin, pointed object such as a thin skewer or a knitting needle).
•Steam generator
Pour ½ a cup of white spirit vinegar on the generator.
Allow to sit for a few minutes, then clean and rinse with water.
Do not use sponges or abrasive powders, nor coffee maker
cleaning agents.
Cleaning the gutter
Remove the gutter by pulling it upward. Wipe it off and return
it to its position using the three notches provided.
The oven should not be cleaned with a steam cleaner. Do not use abrasive products or metal scrapers to
clean the oven door as they may scratch the surface or break the glass.
