General Tips
• For cooking times longer than 30 minutes or when cooking larger
quantities, top up water, if necessary.
• With Vigorous Steam and Interval Steam take out the grease filter;
otherwise, cooking time is longer.
• If not used for long periods, thoroughly rinse out the water drawer,
connecting hoses and steam generator (see Chapter "Care and Clean-
ing").
How to use the Steam Cooking Tables
The Tables give the required temperature settings, cooking times and
oven levels for a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and cooking times are for guidance only, as these will
depend on the composition and size of the food, the quantity and
type of ovenware.
• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the
one that is most similar.
• Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that
steam cooking is started with the oven cold.
