Using the Steam Function

Your oven has steam cooking feature.

The water poured into the water reservoir on the base of the oven creates hot steam during cooking and allows you to obtain a better cooking result from your food.

Steam cooking reduces the loss of moisture in meat-type foods, while the inside is more juicy and the outside is more crispy, while the pastry makes the foods more puffy, crispy and bulky on the outside.

Warning: Steam cooking can only be performed with the functions specified in the manual.

Warning: The water reservoir capacity on the base of the oven is 300 ml maximum. Do not add more than 300 ml of water.

To Make Steam Cooking;

Start your cooking by setting the function, temperature and time according to the food in the steam cooking table. For foods not included in the table, you can set the temperature, cooking function and time yourself.

Place the food on the recommended shelf. Fill the specified amount of water into the water reservoir located in the oven panel with the help of a container.

Tap the steam button "💡" on the control screen.

The display will show "St 1".

Each time you press the "+" button, "St 2" and "St 3" will appear on the screen respectively.

"St 1": means 100ml water, "St 2": means

200ml water, "St 3": means 300 ml water.

When you press the steam button again after selecting the water amount, the selected amount of water will be automatically poured into the floor in the oven gradually.

Select the one that suits your food from the steam cooking functions and adjust the temperature setting.

Your food will be cooked more delicious thanks to the steam support.

If you wish, you can add steam after cooking starts. To do this, follow the steps below;

Touch the steam button "💡" on the control screen for 3 seconds.

"00:00" starts to flash on the clock screen.

If you want to add steam in the minute of cooking, adjust the minute setting accordingly with the "+" and "-" buttons.

Tap the steam button again "💡" and select the amount of water as described above.

After these operations, the determined amount of water will be automatically poured into the area inside the oven when the time is up.

At the end of cooking, clean the water remaining in the water tank and turn off the oven.
