Steam cooking
General remarks
Used in accordance with the instructions, steam cooking has many advantages over other
methods. Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the true taste of your food. A fine
sauce flavoured with aromatic herbs can make all the difference in the world.
Steam cooking is odourless. There is no need to flavour the cooking water with herbs or
spices, though - fish, for example, can be flavoured by placing it on a bed of seaweed, or
chicken on a bunch of rosemary or tarragon.
Meat, fish and vegetables can be cooked simultaneously.
Pasta, rice and purees can be reheated without drying out or sticking to the pan.
Cooking custards, flans, or milky rice dishes is facilitated by steam cookery. Covered in
aluminium foil, the condensation will not reach the food.
There is no need to season prior to cooking, not even the cooking water.
Meat can browned by a quick searing in hot butter on each side.
In comparison to boiling, steam cookery wins hands down.
It is quick: cooking starts immediately, whereas the cooking time of food in boiling water is
only counted from the return of the water to the boil.
It is healthy: the hydro soluble vitamins and minerals are conserved because they barely
dissolve in the condensed water that surrounds the food.
In addition, no fat is used in cooking.
Steam respects the food's own flavour. It adds neither flavour, nor the grilled or fried taste.
It doesn't remove any flavour either, because there is no dilution in water.
The other side of the coin: it is not worth cooking a fish that isn't fresh, or vegetables that
have been forgotten at the back of the refrigerator for a week: in this way - the results will
be catastrophic !
Steam does not transfer tastes or odours, so you can save both time and money by cooking
- side by side but not touching - a fish and a dessert, for example.
Steam is also highly suitable for blanching, defrosting and reheating, as well as keeping
warm - especially sauces.
Meats such as poultry, veal, and pork should be lightly browned in very little oil prior to
cooking, to render them appetisingly golden.
Then finish their cooking by steam.
Foods will cook more quickly and evenly if they are cut into pieces than if they are left whole.

Electrical
connection
For a permanent connection, make sure a
system of disconnection that complies with the
installation regulations. The appliance must be
placed in such a way as to leave the plug
accessible if it is flush-fitted.
Use of an earthed power socket, connected in
compliance with current safety standards
Your installation must be fitted with a 10 amp device
for thermal protection.
Do not use the oven if the supply cord or its plug are
damaged. In this case, they must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its after-sales service or similarly
qualified persons, to avoid any danger.

You MUST IMPERATIVELY fill the water tank up to the maximum level
before starting cooking. Put the tank back in place, and push it as far as
possible until it CLICKS INTO PLACE.
The symbol comes on. When the temperature is reached, 100° becomes cons-
tant, and a beep sounds.
Operational
principle
The water contained in the tank reaches the cavity via a
tube. This water is transformed into steam on contact with
a hot surface placed in the lower part of the cavity:
the steam generator.
There is no need to add water to the cooking dish. To
guarantee TRUE STEAM COOKING, your oven is supplied
with a set of tin ware specially designed for cooking to
perfection.

In case of problems related to the water circuit during
cooking, the 'no water' symbol appears and a beep
sounds.This fault is specifically related to:
- an empty tank,
- a wrongly-fitted tank.
After checking these two points, the cooking will recommence automatically after the door.

Freeze small portions; defrosting will be faster, more homogenous and quality will be pre-
served. When semi-defrosted, you can turn over the food items or spread them out (for
example vegetables patties). Protect pastries with a cling wrap or keep the original pack-
aging. Wipe fish and sausages before grilling: humidity stops them from becoming golden
brown. For large pieces (roasts, etc.) proceed in steps by turning the piece over several
times and adjust the time accordingly.
You can reheat a cooked dish in your steam oven. The dish will not dry out, will not become
overcooked and will not splatter or stick. Adjust steam sequence at 100°C, place the dish
or plate on the grill, protect with aluminium foil or cling wrap to avoid drops of water accu-
mulating and heat for 20 to 25 minutes depending on the dish and your preferences.
Examples:
A plate of sauerkraut: 20 min A bowl of soup (300 ml): 20/25 min
