Description of functions

Water container

The maximum amount of water is ap‐
prox. ½ gallon (2 liters), the minimum is
approx. ½ pint (0.5 liters). These levels
are indicated on the container. Never
exceed the maximum level.
The amount of water depends on the
type of food and the duration of cook‐
ing. You may need to refill the water
container during the cooking proce‐
dure. Opening the door will increase the
amount used.
Fill the water container to the maximum
level before each use.
At the end of the cooking process, re‐
sidual water in the steam generator is
pumped back into the water container.
The water container should be emptied
after each use.

Drip tray

When you are using perforated contain‐
ers, place the drip tray on the lowest
shelf level to collect any drops of liquid
and allow them to be removed easily.
You can also use the drip tray as a
cooking pan if necessary.

Temperature

Some programs have a default recom‐
mended temperature. This temperature
can be altered for the program in use or
for every use of that program (see "Set‐
tings - Recommended Temperatures").

Cooking duration

You can set a duration between 1 mi‐
nute (0:01) and 10 hours (10:00). If the
duration exceeds 59 minutes you have
to enter it in hours and minutes. Exam‐
ple: Duration 80 minutes = 1:20.

Noises

You will hear a pumping sound when
the appliance is turned on, during use
and after turning it off. This is the sound
of water being pumped through the
system and is quite normal.
When the steam oven is in use, you will
hear a fan noise.
