Steam cooking (moist heat)
The boiler produces live hygienic steam which enters the cooking chamber without being
pressurised, where the fans make it circulate very fast.
The climate regulation system which allows dividing the steam production, in percentage,
should be set at 100%, while the cooking chamber temperature can be set between 50°C and
130°C.
Steam cooking is indicated where a boiled effect is required, and it has the advantage of
leaving the nutritional content of the food unaltered (the vitamins and flavour of the food are
conserved), the outer appearance (the colour is conserved, no lumps or air bubbles are formed
and the surface does not break up) and the weight is conserved, as no liquids are lost from the
food during cooking.

Convection cooking (dry heat)
Convection cooking (dry heat)
The heating elements heat the dry air inside the cooking chamber. This heated air is evenly
distributed by the high speed of the fans. This gives an even temperature throughout the
cooking chamber and even cooking even when the oven is full.
This means that different types of food can be cooked on the various shelves (as long as they
need the same cooking temperature) without flavours and smells being mixed together.
The cooking chamber temperature can be set between 50°C and 270°C.
Besides evenly browning the food without having to turn it, convection cooking can be used
to cook au gratin and is particularly convenient for rapid defreezing, for sterilising preserves and
drying mushrooms and fruit.

Convection + steam cooking (dry heat + moist heat)
This type of cooking exploits the combination of dry and moist heat. The heat is dosed by the
climate regulation system which can divide, in percentage, the production of steam and the
production of dry heat (drying the cooking chamber), optimising the cooking climate for each
dish.
The cooking chamber temperature can be set between 50°C and 270°C.
The fact of using a hot-moist climate inside the cooking chamber with variable temperature and
moisture levels, is the most convenient and efficient way of cooking: cooking times are reduced,
the surface of the foods remains soft and does not form a crust, there is little weight loss and
the fatty mass is reduced.
The special hot-moist climate at low temperatures is ideal for re-conditioning food.

Core temperature cooking technique
Core temperature cooking technique
The temperature can be set inside the core of the food to be cooked, using the special
needle core probe that is supplied with the oven. The probe must be pushed into the centre of
the food in the thickest part, avoiding the bones. Place the food inside the cooking chamber
and pull out the thermal probe lead and close the oven door. The probe plug must be plugged
into the special socket (see Fig. 1) at the bottom of the control panel. Press the push button
to select the core cooking temperature (led alight on
no. "2", the temperature is shown on the temperature display.
When a cooking cycle is started with a core probe stage included (the time display shows the
wording "Prob"), when the set temperature is reached inside the food the cooking cycle passes
onto the next stage no matter what time has been set. If the core probe is activated within any
of the four stages, with the other three deactivated, the cooking cycle finishes automatically
when the set temperature inside the food is reached, no matter what time has been set.
