Operation

Steam Mode

Steaming is the ideal cooking mode for foods that can be
cooked in water.
NOTE: The temperature of the water in the steam
generator is checked automatically. For sanitary
reasons, if the water temperature is below 149°F
(65°C) the tank is emptied, refilled and reheated.
Tips for Using the Steam Mode
Prior to steaming, cool the oven to 175°F (80°C). To
lower the temperature quickly, use the Cool Down
mode and open the door.
We recommend that you start the steaming process
8 minutes before loading the oven. For food safety,
the oven monitors the water in the steam generator.
If the water temperature is below 150°F (65°C), the
tank is emptied, refilled and the water is heated.
