Steam Assisted Cooking - Westinghouse WVEP615 User Manual

STEAM ASSISTED COOKING

Cooking with steam is a great addition to straight 'hot
air' cooking. Steam brings out all the natural flavours and
goodness in the food, cooks evenly from surface to centre
and retains more nutrients and vitamins. Steam assisted
cooking consistently produces juicy, succulent interiors
with crisp, golden exteriors.

WVEP618 model only
For hot steam, select Steam Cooking from the main
menu. Then select the desired function.
This oven has 3 dedicated steam functions that have
been individually tuned to produce the best result with a
combination of steam and heat application.
Steam bake – Steam comes from the outlet pipe and heat
comes from the element surrounding the fan. This fan
circulates the hot air and steam around the oven cavity so
that you can put your food in different places in the oven.
This function is suggested for baking bread or general
bakery products.
Steam reheat – Great for reheating dishes like rice, pasta
and pizza that can suffer from dryness in normal ovens or
sogginess in microwave ovens.
Steam roast – Perfect for all kinds of meat, poultry and
fish dishes. The hot air ensures the outside is sealed whilst
the steam keeps the inside tender.
Steam operating sequence
1. Open the water drawer in the control panel by
pressing it.
2. Pour approximately 850mL of water into the
drawer. Stop filling if alarm sounds and "water tank
full" message is displayed.

WARNING
WARNING
Take care when filling the water drawer. Spillage could
create a slipping hazard. Immediately clean up any spills
on the product, cabinet or floor. If the "water tank full"
alarm sounds immediately stop pouring water into the
water drawer. If the tank is overfilled the excess will flow
into the oven. This prevents leakage onto cabinets and is
not a fault. Sponge up overflows if they occur.
