Common problems handling

■ About water tank

1. The highest water level scale identification is in the top part outside the water tank. When you fill water into water tank, please fill to the extent that water level reaches the highest water level scale line. This can prolong continuous cooking time of one-time water injection furthest. During water injection, water level should not exceed the highest water level scale line and water in water tank should not overflow during insertion and extraction of water tank;

2. In order to reduce vapor generation time, hot water below 80°C may be used. Hot water should not be poured out.

3. Push water tank with injected water into the steam oven and the machine can operate. If water tank is not pushed into the steam oven completely, steam oven will not be heated and "Add water" icon will flash.
4. If "Add water" icon on the display screen flashes and buzzer buzzes, it indicates that water level in water tank is below the minimum water level. The steam oven will stop working and please inject water promptly at this time.

■ About cooking time and cooking effect

1. Preheating time is too long. Inspect whether door is closed firmly or not or whether there is air leakage in the door. Please close the door firmly if it is not. If there is still obvious air leakage at this time, please contact service of FOTILE Company for repair; inspect whether there is dirt on temperature sensor in the box, if there is, please clean it promptly.
2. Cooking time is too long. First of all, steam oven door should not be open during cooking process frequently so as to reduce heat loss in this process; Inspect whether door is closed firmly or not or whether there is air leakage in the door. Please close the door firmly if it is not. If there is still obvious air leakage at this time, please contact service of FOTILE Company for repair.
3. Much condensed water in the box. Inspect whether the steam oven is cleaned and water in the box is discharged after each time of use.
4. Much condensed water in the dinner plate after completion of cooking. Dished may be covered with preservative film before cooking or steam oven may be preheated ahead of time and then dishes may placed in the box when preheating is almost finished.

■ Selection of cooking container

Stainless steel cooking containers are attached to the steam oven and users can also purchase other accessories. Pay attention to the following content during selection of appropriate cooking container: try to use cooking container with multi-hole as vapor can contact food through small holes and food will be cooked more equally with faster healing speed; when food such as stewed product are cooked, cooking time will be longer as food is small, and placed densely and space among food is small or there is even no such space and vapor can not exert its function completely. Therefore, food should be placed in the oblate body container to make more space for vapor during cooking; appropriate placement height of food is 3-5cm and too much amount of food will prolong cooking time and even influence food taste. Steam oven is designed to cook for 6-8 people and too much food should not be placed in it.

Heat-resistant glass, glass-ceramic, porcelain, stainless steel and enamel container can also be used.

Attention:

If plastic cooking container is used, please ensure that it can resist 100°C high temperature and vapor.

If cooking container with large thickness is used, cooking time will be long.

Please place cooking container on the steaming tray attached to the machine.

Edge top of the container should be at least 3cm away from top of cooking box so as to let

sufficient vapor into the container.
