2
1
To steam foods such as fish or
vegetables, place these in the
basket (2) and pour drinking
water (100 ml) into the bottom
of the steamer (3) to achieve
the right amount of steam.
To boil foods such as pasta,
rice or potatoes, place these
directly on the bottom of the steamer (the basket is
not required) and add an appropriate amount of
drinking water for the amount you are cooking.
For best results, cover the steamer with the cover
(1) provided.
Always place the steamer on the glass turntable
and only use it with the appropriate cooking
functions, or with microwave functions.
COVER
Useful for covering food while it
is cooking or heating in the
microwave.
The cover reduces splashes,
keeps foods moist and can also
be used to create two cooking levels.
It is not suitable for use with convection cooking or
with any of the grill functions (including “Crisp
Dynamic”).
The number of accessories may vary according to which model is purchased.
Other accessories can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service.
ACCESSORIES
TURNTABLE
Placed on its support, the glass
turntable can be used with all
cooking methods.
The turntable must always be
used as a base for other
containers or accessories, with the exception of the
rectangular baking tray.
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
Only use the support for the glass
turntable. Do not rest other
accessories on the support.
CRISP PLATE
Only for use with the specific
“Crisp Dynamic” function.
The crisp plate must always be
placed in the centre of the
glass turntable and can be
preheated when empty, using the special function
for this purpose only. Place the food directly on the
crisp plate.
HANDLE FOR THE CRISP PLATE
Useful for removing the hot
crisp plate from the oven.
RECTANGULAR BAKING TRAY
Only use the baking tray with
functions that allow for
convection cooking; it must
never be used in combination
with microwaves. Insert the
tray horizontally, resting it on the rack in the
cooking compartment.
Please note: You do not need to remove the
turntable and its support when using the rectangular
baking tray.
There are a number of accessories available on the
market. Before you buy, ensure they are suitable
for microwave use and resistant to oven
temperatures.
Metallic containers for food or drink should never
be used during microwave cooking.
Always ensure that foods and accessories do not
come into contact with the inside walls of the
oven.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn
freely before starting the oven. Take care not to
unseat the turntable whilst inserting or removing
other accessories.
