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 salt,
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 simultaneously cook meat, fish and vegetables.
Compared to boiling, steaming offers nothing but advantages:
Cooking starts immediately whereas for food in a water-filled pan, 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.
Steam does not spread tastes or odours therefore do not hesitate to save both time and money by
cooking items at the same time, but without touching. For example, you can cook a fish next to a
dessert.
Cut into pieces, food cooks faster and more evenly than if left whole.
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
appetizing browned appearance. Then finish cooking them using the steam method.
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!

Accessories
Tank that allows for independent water supply to the steamer.
Its capacity is approximately one litre (maximum level).
Removable tank
Tap water can sometimes be too hard. Lightly mineralised,
still, bottled water will be more effective in cleaning your
oven.
Using demineralised water is prohibited (not for human
consumption).
Please do not use decalcified water or water treated by a
water decalcifier.
This can cause damage to the steam generator.
Perforated stainless steel dish (fig. 1)
Pierced stainless steel cooking dish to prevent contact
between food and the condensation water.
Stainless steel dish (fig. 2)
Stainless steel dish for recovering condensation water.
When steaming vegetables, potatoes. fish or meat:
place the dish (fig. 1) on the dish (fig. 2) in reverse order
so that they do not fit into each other (see diagram). When
storing, place the dish (fig. 1) on the dish (fig. 2) in the
same order so that they fit into each other.
Stainless steel removable support grid (fig 3):
it must be placed in the oven.

INSTALLATION

Before connecting the steamer
Warning:
Ensure that your appliance has not
suffered any damage during transport
(deformed seal or door, etc.). If you see
any kind of damage, before doing
anything else, contact your retailer.
In order to easily locate the reference
information for your appliance, we
recommend that you note this
information on the “After-Sales Service
Department and Customer Relations”
page.
Electrical connections
Ensure that:
- the electrical installation has sufficient
voltage.
- the electrical wires are in good condition.
- the diameter of the wires complies with the
installation requirements.
- your electrical installation is equipped with 16-
ampere thermal-sensitive protection.
In case of doubt, consult your electrician-
installer.
The electrical connections are made before the
appliance is installed in its housing.
The appliance must be installed correctly to
ensure electrical safety. During installation and
maintenance operations, the appliance must be
unplugged from the electrical grid; fuses must
be cut off or removed.
The oven must be connected with a power cable
(standardised) with three 1.5 mm² conductors
(1 ph +1 N + ground) that must be connected to
a monophase 220-240 V network via a CEI 60083
standardised receptacle (1 ph +1 N + ground
lead) or in accordance with installation rules.
The safety wire (green/yellow) is connected to
the appliance’s terminal and must be connected
to the installation earth .
In the case of connections with an electric
receptacle, it must remain accessible after
installation of the appliance.
The oven’s neutral conductor (blue wire) must
be connected to the network’s neutral
conductor.
In the electrical connection, ensure there is a
means available to the user to ensure they are
able to disconnect the appliance from the outlet,
either by pulling the plug from the outlet or by
turning off a switch, in compliance with
installation rules.
If the power cable is damaged, it should be
replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales
service department or by a qualified person to
avoid danger.
Warning:
We cannot be held responsible for
any accident resulting from a non-
existent, defective or incorrect earth
lead.
If the steamer malfunctions in any way,
unplug the appliance or remove the fuse
corresponding to the sector where the
oven is hooked up.
It is dangerous for anyone other than a
qualified person to perform maintenance
operations or repairs.

Steam cooking
Programming for immediate steaming
Steam cooking at 100 °C
Press the “start” button. A cooking time of
25 minutes is suggested (fig. 1).
Set the duration required (min. 5 mins and max.
60 mins) by pressing + or - (fig. 2).

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.
When in use, the appliance becomes hot. Hot steam will escape when you
open the door of the appliance. Keep children away.
