Steam Operation

Food can be cooked very gently using steam. With some

heating modes, you can prepare food with steam

assistance. In addition, the Proof, Defrost and Reheat

modes are available.

WARNING

RISK OF SCALDING

Hot steam can escape when you open the

appliance door. Steam is not visible at certain

temperatures. Do not stand too close to the

appliance when opening it. Open the appliance

door with caution. Keep children away.

Noises

You will hear a humming noise while the pump is in

operation and after switching it off. This noise is caused

by the pump function test. It is a normal operating noise.

You will also hear this noise after running non-steam

modes when the oven is turned off. This is normal.

Steam Cooking

During steaming, hot steam surrounds the food and

therefore prevents loss of nutrients from the food. The

shape, color and typical aroma of the dishes are retained

as a result of this preparation method. With steam,

flavors are not affected when cooking a whole meal at

the same time.

Note:

If the water tank runs dry during steaming,

operation is interrupted. Fill the water tank. After the

water tank is reinserted, Steam cooking will resume.

Your oven has five modes for Steam cooking:

Steam Assisted Cooking

When cooking with steam assistance, steam is
