Steam cooking
Overview
Steam cooking presents nothing but advantages if you follow the instructions for use.
Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the full flavour of foods. A delicate sauce or
aromatic herb seasonings add that something extra that makes the difference.
This kind of cooking releases no odours. There is no need to season the cooking water with
herbs or spices; however, you can flavour 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 simultaneously cook meat, fish and vegetables.
Steam cooking gently reheats pasta, rice and mashed potatoes with no risk of food sticking
or drying out.
It makes it easier to cook puddings, flans, rice pudding, etc. covered with aluminium foil,
the condensation water does not add moisture to the preparations.
There is no need to season before cooking--not even the steam water.
To make meat look more appetising, quickly brown it on all sides with hot butter in a pan.
Compared to boiling, steam offers nothing but 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.
The 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 are catastrophic!
The steam does not transfer flavours or aromas; therefore do not hesitate to save both time
and money by cooking items side by side, but without touching. For example, you can cook
fish next to a dessert.
Steam is also appropriate for blanching, defrosting and reheating or even holding 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 appetizing browned appearance. Then finish cooking them using the steam
method.
Cut into pieces, food cooks faster and more evenly than if left whole.

For permanent installation, be mindful to add a
standardised, compliant cut-off device in the
electrical conduit. Otherwise the appliance must
be positioned so that the electrical outlet is
accessible after the unit has been built-in.
You must use an electrical receptacle that contains
a ground wire and is connected in compliance with
applicable safety standards.
Your electrical installation must be equipped with
10-ampere thermal-sensitive protection.
Do not operate the oven if the power cable or its
plug are damaged. In this case, they must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its After Sales

Do not remove
the identification
plate!
Clean and dry the control panel, the drip pan, the shelf
and the steam generator using a mild detergent.
Safety
during use
The steam oven should be turned on for 10 minutes
before its first use. Ensure that the ventilation around the
appliance is adequate. If necessary use a rangehood. The
steam generator can lead to burns. When removing
cooked and hot food, you should use a dishcloth and wet
heat resistant gloves. Do not apply excess weight to the
open door. Do not sit or climb on it. It is possible to use
ceramic, porcelain or heat resistant plastic crockery. Never
use paper or cardboard plates or dishes as these will not
withstand humidity. Apart from the accessories supplied,
you should use only suitable heat resistant cooking
dishes. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's
recommendations. Do not use the pierced cooking dish
for rice, terrines or pasta dishes. For these dishes use a
non perforated recipient. After use, check that the
appliance is turned off properly. The appliance is not
intended for use by children or infirm persons without
supervision. Young children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with appliance.

Steam
cooking
How do you program for immediate cooking?
Steam cooking at 100°C
Press the "Start" touch
control. A cooking time
of 25 minutes is suggested.
Set the desired length of time
(minimum is five minutes and
maximum is 60 minutes) by pressing
the + and - touch controls.
Enter by
pressing the
"Start" touch control.
You MUST fill the water tank to the Max. level before cooking. Return the
tank to its housing by firmly pushing ALL THE WAY until you feel the tank
LOCK INTO POSITION.
The symbol is activated. When the temperature has been reached, the 100°C
display stops flashing and a beep is emitted.
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 a hot surface located in the
lower part of the cavity: this is the steam generator.
There is no need to add water to the cooking dish. To
guarantee REAL STEAM COOKING, your oven is
furnished with specially designed cookware that will
allow for perfect cooking.

Steam cooking is not a recent invention, In Asian and particularly Chinese cooking,
delicate steam cooking has been practised for a long time. One of the advantages of
this type of cooking is that the foodstuffs do not remain in contact with the cooking
juices. Consequently, the vitamins and minerals are particularly well preserved, but
also the delicious taste of the food. The principle of steam cooking is simple: by
heating it up, water is transformed into steam and transmits its heat to the food
located in the cooking dish. Because the food is not placed directly in boiling water,
less is taken out of it. In other words, the loss of mineral elements and vitamins is
minimised. Consequently the taste of the food is also better preserved than with any
other cooking method. As a result, seasoning with salt can be considerably reduced.
Additionally, steam cooking does not require the use of fats. This therefore makes it
the ideal cooking method for those looking to enjoy healthy cookery. Even if steam
cooking is an extremely delicate method, the technique is the same as for other
cooking methods. The food must be prepared (especially vegetables) and then
washed, and finally cut into pieces just before steam cooking.
Steam cooking tips
Water is a liquid, well adapted to steam cooking. Fatty liquids such as stock or
sauces will stick and cling to the inside of the oven. Sauces can be
subsequently prepared using the cooking juices, and the dish can then be sprinkled
with 2-3 tablespoons of white wine etc. All foods can be slightly seasoned before
steam cooking. It is not necessary to use a great deal of salt as the taste of the food
already comes to the fore during steam cooking. Fresh herbs, finely chopped
vegetables or marinades can also be used to spice up dishes. Leftover rice, pasta,
potatoes and vegetables can be gently reheated using steam. Dishes covered with
sauces or stock can be given a new lease of life! The heating time is between 10 and
20 minutes according to the dishes. You can also use the steaming method to gently
defrost certain frozen products. Frozen vegetables, fish or meat can be defrosted
directly by steam. Place the ingredients as flat as possible on the cooking dish.
Cooking tips
Caution! Take care when opening the appliance during the steam cooking
process. The steam given off is hot and can burn you!
Cooking fish using steam
During steam cooking, fish remains juicy and firm, with the tastes and characteristics
of the various types of fish being particularly well conserved. Fillets and whole fish
are well suited to this cooking method. The cooking times using steam are very
short. The fish is cooked when the skin is no longer shiny and it can be cut using a
fork. Before use, you should slightly coat the inside of the cooking dish with butter
or oil to ensure that the tender skin of the fish does not stick. Fish is particularly
aromatic when the cooking dish is covered with a layer of fresh herbs (for example
sprigs of thyme or dill), finely chopped aromatic vegetables or condiments such as
finely chopped onions, garlic, sliced ginger or slices of lemon, etc. Additionally, we
Steam cooking
99634202_GB_A.qxd 14/01/05 16:24 Page 17

18
recommend that you marinate the food before steam cooking. As examples, lemon
juice, olive oil, white wine or soya sauce all add plenty of taste to your fish dish.
Cooking meat using steam
Only the most tender pieces such as fillets of veal, pork or beef, or white chicken
meat (perfect for this type of preparation) can be steam cooked. They remain
particularly juicy when rolled in leaves (for example spinach) or cooked on a bed of
vegetables. Where meat is concerned, it is particularly important to avoid
overcooking it, which will lead to it becoming dry and hard. It is better to reduce the
cooking time indicated and check if the meat has already cooked sufficiently. It is
always possible to continue cooking for a little longer if you find the meat isn't done
enough but it is never possible to improve the quality when the meat is overcooked!
Steam cooked meat always requires a spicy seasoning to avoid it becoming bland.
For this reason, we recommend that you add a sauce.
Poaching food in the steam oven
Steam cooking (which will be new to many of you) can in certain cases also replace
the use of a double boiler. Preparing food using steam cooking is ideal for flans and
terrines. However, the ingredients should never be added directly into the cooking
dish but instead cooked in moulds. Porcelain and glass moulds resist heat well and
are particularly well suited, unlike plastic moulds. The cooking times can vary slightly
according to the size and material used for the moulds and/or their ability to conduct
heat.
Sterilisation in the steam oven
You can also use your steam oven to sterilise all the fruit and vegetables that you
have conserved up until now using classic methods in a sterilisation recipient or the
oven. You can simultaneously conserve the contents of 4 x 750 ml jars (height:
14 cm). Wash the jars carefully and use new elastic rings.
Vegetables: wash, prepare and blanch in the steam oven for around 10 to
15 minutes. Cool using ice cold water and place immediately in the glass jars (to a
level of 3 cm below the rim) and fill with a solution of salt (1 litre of water +
1 tablespoon of salt brought to boiling point) up to three quarters of the jar's height.
Fit a damp rubber ring and close using the cover and hook. Tomatoes should be
inserted raw. Add fresh herbs to carrots. Add a little lemon juice to apples and pears.
Fruit: wash, prepare and fill the jars up to a level of 3 cm below the rim. Fill using
a sugary solution (1 litre of water + 150 - 250 g of sugar, brought to boiling point)
up to two-thirds of the jars height. Fit a damp rubber ring and close using the cover
and hook. Once the sterilisation time is up, you should turn off the steam oven, open
the door for approximately 10 seconds and then leave to stand for around
30 minutes in the closed steam oven.

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 pipe (once a month)
Remove the water pipe by pulling it towards you.
Remove any hard-water deposits that may be inside
(using a thin, pointed object such as a thick skewer or a
knitting needle).
Steam generator (once a month)
Pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar on the generator.
Let 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 this 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.
How do you care for your oven?
99634202_GB_A.qxd 14/01/05 16:24 Page 19

20
Cleaning the oven cavity
- During manual cleaning, ensure that the oven is suffi-
ciently cool before touching any of the internal parts.
- Always keep your steam oven clean.
- Check that the door and frame seals are clean.
- You risk injuring yourself if you attempt to remove the
door from the hinge. Consequently, the assembly and
dismantling of the door should only be carried out by a
technician from the After Sales Service Department,
trained in this field.
- During cleaning, you must not use high-pressure or
steam cleaning appliances for reasons related to elec-
trical safety.
Ensure that the oven cavity and the steam generator have
cooled sufficiently before touching them. Only the lighting
for the oven cavity can be turned on.
For hygiene reasons, it is recommended that you empty
and clean the interior of the oven, the drip channel and
the reservoir after each use. To do so, use a damp sponge.
You should subsequently wipe dry with a cloth (synthetic).
Remove any possible limescale deposits with vinegar.
Allow to act for a few minutes, clean and rinse with water.
The control panel and the front part of the door should be
cleaned using a mild detergent and then wiped.
Safety during
cleaning
Cleaning and
maintenance
During cleaning, you should not use steam
cleaning or high-pressure appliances for
reasons inherent to electrical safety.
You should not use chlorine-based products,
products designed to decalcify electrical
household appliances powders or sponges.
Ensure that your keep the surface of the
seals clean around the doors and its frame,
checking that this seal has not become
dislodged from its support.
