Steam cooking function
This cooking function uses steam for cooking food. During steam cooking, steam flows from the boiler
into the oven compartment. The steam heats the oven compartment, cooking the food.
This type of cooking is ideal for any kind of vegetables or fish, preserving the colour, taste and goodness
of the food.
IMPORTANT: the following procedure MUST be followed whenever you are using the steam cooking
function.
- Fill the water container with distilled water or, if not available, with cold drinking water. IMPORTANT:
if tap water is used, lime deposits can build up in the steam boiler.
- Fill the water container up to the 1.0-litre notch. DO NOT fill the container to the brim. Otherwise, the
water that is pumped back to the container at the end of the cooking cycle could overflow.
- Put the water in the compartment provided.
- Push the water container all the way down, making sure that there is a perfect seal between the tube
in the container and the water circuit inside the oven.
- Always make sure the stainless steel cooking drip pan fits under the perforated-bottom drip pan. This
collects condensate, juices or foods that drip from the perforated-bottom drip pan.
- Turn the oven's steam-cooking thermostat knob (right knob) until you reach the desired temperature.
The temperature can be regulated from 50 °C to 100 °C in increments of 5 °C
- After 7-8 seconds the operation indicator light of the oven turns on to confirm that the oven is heating
up. When cooking is finished and the oven's thermostat knob is turned to "0", the operation indicator
lamp will turn off.
- In steam mode, the operation indicator lamp is green.
- When cooking is finished, turn the oven's thermostat knob to "0".
- When the oven compartment has cooled down sufficiently, it is a good idea to use a soft cloth to dry
the traces of liquid left inside the oven chamber.
IMPORTANT: the water container must be emptied at the end of cooking.
Grill cooking function
This cooking function uses the upper heating element to cook the food.
This type of cooking is ideal for grilling medium or large portions of sausages, bacon, steaks etc.
- If you are using the grill function without steam, you can leave the water container inside its
compartment. This does not affect the cooking capacity of the oven.
- Turn the grill thermostat knob (left knob) until you reach the required temperature. The temperature
can be regulated from 80 °C to 250 °C in intervals of +40 °C (so, 80, 120, 160 up to a max of 200)
- After 7-8 seconds the operation indicator light of the grill (red light) turns on to confirm that the grill
is in use. When cooking is finished and the grill's thermostat knob is turned to "0", the operation
indicator lamp will turn off.
