General notes
Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can
also cook on several levels at the same
time. This will not alter the cooking dur-
ation.
When using more than one deep con-
tainer at the same time for steam cook-
ing it is best to offset them on their run-
ners and to leave at least one level free
in between them.
Always insert cooking containers, the
rack and the tray between the rails of
the side runners so that they cannot tip.
Frozen food
The heating up phase for frozen food is
longer than for fresh food. The greater
the quantity of frozen food, the longer
the heating up phase.
Temperature
During steam cooking, the temperature
does not exceed 100 °C. Almost all
foods can be cooked at this temperat-
ure. Some types of food, such as ber-
ries, need to be cooked at lower tem-
peratures to prevent them from burst-
ing. See the relevant sections in these
operating instructions for more details.

Cooking duration
During steam cooking, the cooking dur-
ation does not begin until the set tem-
perature is reached.
In general, the cooking durations for
cooking with steam are the same as for
cooking food in a saucepan. More in-
formation about any factors which may
affect the cooking duration is given in
the relevant sections.
The quantity of food does not affect the
cooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes will
take the same time to cook as 500 g.
Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid only fill the
cooking container ²/₃ full to prevent the
liquid spilling when the cooking con-
tainer is removed from the oven.
Your own recipes – steam
cooking
Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan
can also be cooked in the combination
steam oven. The cooking durations in
the combination steam oven will be the
same. Please note that food will not be
brown or crisp when cooking with
steam.
