NOTE:
•
After pressing START/CANCEL, the unit will briefly preheat. Once the
required temperature is reached, water will be pumped immediately
into the evaporating plate for steam generation.
•
Be aware that a sound is produced when the water is pumped into the
evaporating plate. This is completely normal.
•
If the water tank is empty during operation, the ADD WATER indicator
will flash on the screen and blink continuously, prompting the unit to
automatically stop cooking; to resume, refill the water tank with water
and insert it into the bottom of the unit. Press START/CANCEL to
resume cooking. ADD WATER indicator will disappear.
•
It is normal that the stainless-steel evaporating plate may develop
dark spots if it becomes dry during and after operation. These dark
spots could be a result of food residues or mineral deposits from the
steam evaporating process.
Refer to the Care & maintenance section of this User Guide and
follow the steps for proper cleaning.
•
During steaming, moisture could cause condensation on the oven
door.
IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTION: When using the Steam/Sterilize
function after cooking with a convection program, it is recommended to
allow a 15-minute cool-down period for optimal steam performance.
Steam/Sterilize function requires a 100°C maximum temperature to work
properly. During cooking with the top heating element, the temperature in
the inner cavity becomes too high. After this cooking cycle, it is important
to allow the unit to cool down to reach the desired steam - generating
temperature of 100°C.
Combi Cooking Programs
(Convection + Steam)
The following cooking programs combine convection heating (top heating
element) and steam (bottom heating element). The hot air circulation allows
for even heat distribution, promoting faster and more efficient cooking. The
introduction of steam keeps the food moist, preventing it from drying out
during the cooking process. This is particularly beneficial when cooking items
that tend to dry out easily, such as certain meats and baked goods.

NOTE:
•
Before cooking, ALWAYS ensure to fill the water tank with water and
ensure it is inserted into the base before starting a program that uses
steam.
•
During cooking, if the water tank becomes empty, the ADD WATER
indicator will flash on the screen and blinks continuously, prompting
the unit to automatically stop cooking; to resume, refill the water tank
with water and insert it into the bottom of the unit. Press START/
CANCEL to resume cooking. ADD WATER indicator will disappear.
•
We recommend using a distilled water for optimal steam
performance instead of tap water. Tap water may lead to mineral
deposits and scale build-up over time reducing the efficiency of the
steam function.
•
DO NOT fill the water tank with other liquids.

What is Steam Bake and Steam Roast?
Steam Bake is a cooking program designed to combine the benefits of
steam cooking and baking. It provides a method to cook food using both
moist heat (steam) and dry heat (baking) simultaneously. It involves using
a controlled amount of steam during the baking process to keep the food
moist and enhance its texture and flavour. At the beginning of the program,
a small amount of water is pumped into the evaporating plate to produce
steam. The water is pumped again when the unit reaches the required
temperature and cycle repeats, intermittently producing small amounts of
steam throughout the cooking process to moisturize the food.
Steam Roast is a cooking program designed to combine the benefits of
steam cooking and roasting, particularly useful for cooking larger cuts of
meat or whole poultry, as well as certain types of vegetables. It helps to
maintain the food's moisture content while still achieving delicious crispy
and browned exterior of the food. The Steam Roast program uses steam
