Steam function
Warning – Risk of scalding! Leave the door closed during steam functions, hot
steam can escape in case of opening. Condensation in the oven will increase
when opening the door.
Note: Let the oven cool down after every steam function and dry the inside of the oven
with a soft cloth.
Note: The water system empties each time the steam function is finished. This action is
audible and is part of the steam oven’s normal operation.
Advantages of steam cooking
• Healthy and natural, steam cooking retains the colour and taste of the dish. No odors are
released using this cooking method.
• Steam cooking (stewing, cooking, roasting) starts before the oven cavity temperature
reaches 100 °C.
• Slow cooking (stewing, cooking, roasting) is also possible at lower temperatures.
• It is healthy:
▷vitamins and minerals are preserved as only a small proportion of these dissolve in the hot
moisture of the dish.
• It is not necessary to add any form of fat or oil during steam cooking.
• Steam does not distribute smell or taste, enabling meat or fish to be cooked together with
vegetables.
• Steam is also suitable for blanching, defrosting and warming or keeping a dish warm.
USE

EN 18
Sous vide
Using the sous vide steam function:
• Vacuuming
▷First vacuum the food in plastic using a vacuuming machine. This process removes most of
the air from the plastic bag. The bag preserves nutrients and taste during cooking, resulting
in food that is juicier, softer and tastier.
• Vacuum cooking
▷Cook the dish at the correct temperature and the correct time using the oven’s Sous Vide
steam setting (see ‘Recipes and cooking times’).
▷Most dishes can be kept at serving temperature (around 60 °C)
for a few hours, which makes mise en place very easy: you simply remove the dish from the
oven when you need it.
Filling the water reservoir
• Always fill the reservoir prior to using a steam function.
• Use clean and cold tap water, bottled water without added minerals or distilled water
suitable for consumption.
1. Press the water reservoir cover to open it.
2. Use the handle to remove the reservoir from the oven.
3. Remove the water reservoir lid and clean the water reservoir with clean water.
4. Fill the reservoir with water up to the ‘MAX’ mark on the reservoir (around 1.2 litres).
5. Push the water reservoir back in the oven until a click is heard (position switch is activated).
6. Close the water reservoir cover.
Any water remaining in the steam system after cooking will be pumped back into the
water reservoir. Empty, clean and dry the water reservoir after using the steam function.
Only fill the reservoir just prior to using it!
