Page 5: General Notes
General notes Please read through the operating instructions carefully to help you familiarise yourself with the appliance and also for information on how to use the different functions. This section contains general information. You will find more detailed information about particular foods and how to cook them in the other sections. -
Page 6: Condensate Tray
General notes – Place the cooking containers on the rack and not on the oven floor. – Ensure that there is a gap of at least 3 cm between the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container. -
Page 7: Temperature
General notes Temperature A maximum temperature of 100 °C is reached when steam cooking is taking place. Most types of food will cook at this temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as soft fruit, must be cooked at lower temperatures as otherwise they will burst. -
Page 8: Steam Cooking / Vegetables
Steam cooking / Vegetables Fresh vegetables Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut up. Deep frozen vegetables Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand, unless the vegetables have been frozen together in a block. Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together. - Page 9 Steam cooking / Vegetables Shelf level When cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container at the same time as cooking other foods in other containers, place the condensate tray directly underneath the perforated container to catch any drips and so avoid any colour transfer. Duration As with conventional methods, when cooking vegetables with steam the cooking duration will depend on the size and also...

Page 12: Steam Cooking / Meat
Steam cooking / Meat Fresh meat Prepare the meat in the usual way. Deep frozen meat Meat should be thoroughly defrosted beforehand (see "Defrosting"). Preparation For meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. stewing steak, sear the meat in a pan on the hob. Then place it in the oven to cook it with steam. - Page 13 Steam cooking / Meat Boiling fowl, beef flank, meat, ribs and meat bones can be used to make stock. Place the meat together with some mixed vegetables in a solid cooking container and add cold water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to 90 minutes. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.

Page 14: Steam Cooking / Fish
Steam cooking / Fish Fresh fish Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet. Deep frozen fish Defrost frozen fish (see "Defrosting"). Preparation Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm. It is not necessary to season fish when cooking with steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish its unique flavour. - Page 15 Steam cooking / Fish Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and consistency of the food and not the weight. The thicker the food, the longer the cooking duration. A 3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g will take longer to cook than a 2 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g.

Steam cooking / Universal Shellfish Preparation Defrost frozen shellfish before cooking with steam. Peel, remove and discard the intestines, and then wash the shellfish. Cooking containers Use perforated containers to cook shellfish and grease them beforehand. Duration The longer shellfish are cooked, the tougher they become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart. -
Page 18: Mussels
Steam cooking / Universal Mussels Fresh mussels Only cook mussels which are closed. N.B. Do not eat mussels which have not opened after being cooked. Danger of food poisoning. Steep fresh mussels in water for a few hours before cooking to rinse out any sand. -
Page 19: Rice
Steam cooking / Universal Rice Rice swells when cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The proportion of rice to liquid will vary depending on the type of rice. The rice absorbs all the liquid and so none of the nutrients are lost. -
Page 20: Pasta
Steam cooking / Universal Pasta Dry pasta Dry pasta swells when it is cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The liquid must cover the pasta. Using hot liquid gives better results. Settings for dry pasta Reduce the cooking time recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging by about as the pasta will start to swell during the heating up time. -
Page 21: Dumplings
Steam cooking / Universal Dumplings Ready made boil-in-the-bag dumplings need to be well covered with water as otherwise they can fall apart. This is because even although they have been soaked in water beforehand they will not absorb enough moisture. Cook fresh dumplings in a greased, perforated container. -
Page 22: Grain
Steam cooking / Universal Grain Grain swells during cooking and needs to be cooked in liquid. The proportion of grain to liquid will vary depending on the type of grain. Grain can be cooked whole or cracked. Function (depending on model) Steam Cooking / Universal Cook universal ! Settings... -
Page 23: Dried Pulses
Steam cooking / Universal Dried pulses Pulses swell during cooking and need to be cooked in liquid. The ratio of pulses to liquid should be 1:3. Soak pulses for at least 10 hours in cold water before cooking. Soaking makes the pulses more digestible and shortens the cooking duration required. -
Page 24: Hen's Eggs
Steam cooking / Universal Hen's eggs Use a perforated container to prepare boiled eggs in the steam oven. The eggs do not need to be pierced before cooking as they are gradually warmed during the heating up phase and so do not burst when they are cooked with steam. -
Page 25: Fruit
Steam cooking / Universal Fruit Cook delicate types of fruit, the skin of which burst easily (e.g. apricots) at 90 °C only. Cook fruit in a solid container so that none of the juice is lost. If you wish to cook fruit in a perforated container, place a solid container directly underneath it to collect the juice. -
Page 26: Menu Cooking
Menu cooking You can use the steam oven to cook a whole meal containing types of food which have different cooking durations, e.g. fish fillet with rice and broccoli. The food which has the longest cooking duration is placed in the steam oven first and then each subsequent dish is placed in the oven at the appropriate time so that the whole meal is ready at the same time. - Page 27 Menu cooking Example Rice 20 minutes Fish fillet 6 minutes Broccoli 4 minutes 20 minutes - 6 minutes = 14 minutes (1st cooking duration: rice) 6 minutes - 4 minutes = 2 minutes (2nd cooking duration: fish fillet) Remaining time = 4 minutes (3rd cooking duration: broccoli) Duration 20 min - rice...

-
Page 34: Extracting Juice With Steam
Extracting juice with steam You can use the steam oven to extract juices from fruit, such as soft berries and cherries. It is best to use overripe fruit, as the riper the fruit the greater the quantity of juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also produce a more intense flavour. -

Page 44: Roasting
Roasting Food probe The tip of the probe is pushed into the centre of the meat where it measures the core temperature continuously. The core temperature set will depend on the how well you want the meat cooked (i.e. rare or well done) and also the type of meat. -
Page 45: General
Roasting General Please ensure that both grease filters are inserted in the oven. Frozen meat must be defrosted before cooking it. Never cook from frozen. In general, it is best to place the meat directly on the rack and place the condensate tray underneath. This will ensure that the meat cooks evenly on all sides and the meat juices which collect in the condensate tray can be used to make a gravy or a sauce. -
Page 46: Combination Mode
Roasting Combination mode The cooking durations for combination mode are longer than durations in a conventional oven as combination mode cooking is carried out at lower temperatures. The lower the temperature in the cooking compartment compared to the core temperature, the longer the cooking process and therefore the more tender the result. - Page 47 Roasting Cooking charts Combi mode G (roasting) Type of meat Stage Temperature Moisture Duration Core temp. in °C in % in minutes in °C Beef Beef joint 200 - 225 35 - 40 65 - 80 Braised 200 - 225 30 - 35 80 - 90 Fillet...
