Advice for steam cooking

• Pasta and rice: upon reaching 100° C, the cooking time will be the same as with cooking on a cooktop. Place the pasta or rice in a metal tray and cover with around a centimeter of water. For best results when cooking rice, place a lid on the container or cover with aluminum foil. This procedure allows the rice to absorb all the water, and it can then be served directly to the table.
• Eggs: these may be boiled, scrambled or poached by using the steam function at 100°C. To obtain perfect boiled eggs, place them on the perforated tray and cook for 4-6 minutes for soft boiled eggs and 8-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. For scrambled eggs, place beaten eggs in metal pan along with milk, butter, and seasoning. Cover the tray with aluminum foil. Mix every couple of minutes using a fork. For poached eggs, pour boiling water into the metal tray with a drop of vinegar and steam cook for around 4-5 minutes.

• Vegetables: steam cooking vegetables gives excellent results. They maintain

their color, flavor and nutritional properties. For dense vegetables such as potatoes, turnips and parsnips, cook at 100° C for the same length of time you would boil them on a cooktop. For broccoli and carrots, cook for 6 minutes if you want them to remain firm, or 10 minutes if you want them to be softer.

• Fish: due to the delicate nature of fish, steaming gives excellent results. For oily fish such as salmon or trout, cook at 100° C for around 5 minutes. For white fish such as cod or haddock, cook at 80° C for around 5 minutes. If you are cooking different foods, all fish must be cooked in the perforated tray which must be placed on the bottom shelf of the oven to avoid liquid from the fish dripping onto other food products.
• Meat: casseroles and curries are ideal for steam cooking. Prepare the casserole as for normal oven cooking. Place it in a metal tray, cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and cook for between 45 minutes and 3 hours depending on the cut of meat used.
• Thin soups: steam cooking allows flavors to develop perfectly with minimum effort, as the liquids will not boil over. For vegetable soup with the correct consistency, first steam the vegetables, then add broth and steam cook at 100° C. The steam function is also ideal for preparing large quantities for later use.
• Soups: Thicker soups are also easy and quick to prepare. Place the soup in a metal tray, cover with a lid or aluminum foil and steam cook at 100°C for the same time you would cook it in a microwave oven. To obtain a creamy texture stir halfway through cooking.
• Reheating: the steam cooking function will not dry foods out and gives a moister result. A previously prepared home-cooked meal, covered with aluminum foil, will take around 10-12 minutes to reheat. Ready meals will require approximately double the time indicated on the package.
• Defrosting: it is possible to use the steam function to defrost foods. Times vary, but defrosting with the steam cooking function takes around half the time necessary for covered foods left to defrost at room temperature.
• Peeling peppers and tomatoes: this is very easy to do when using the steam function. Use a knife to cut a small cross in the skin of the tomato, and steam

cook for 1 minute. Peppers have tougher skin, and may require up to 4 minutes to soften it sufficiently for peeling.

• Chocolate: this can be melted using the steam cooking function. Place the chocolate in a metal tray, cover with aluminum foil and steam cook for 1 minute. Unlike other methods, chocolate is unlikely to burn in the steam oven
• Hot towels: ideal for facial treatments, a close shave or for use after a meal, these are easy to prepare using the steam cooking function. Moisten a towel with water, roll it up and steam it for 1 minute.

Steam function for perfect cooking inside a sealed bag. The food's flavors are enhanced and no nutrients are lost.

NOTES

- The bag containing the food can be placed on the perforated tray or on a rack positioned on the first or second shelf.

Sous Vide cooking in a steam oven is the best way to cook food without altering its nutritional properties and quality. It is also an extremely healthy and natural type of cooking.

• The Sous Vide technique allows the heat to be transferred efficiently from the steam to the food, preventing the loss of flavor through the oxidation and evaporation of nutrients and humidity during cooking.
• Sous Vide cooking also allows greater control over the cooking compared to traditional methods and ensures that cooking is uniform.
• It also allows cooking to be carried out at lower temperatures compared to traditional cooking methods.

For Sous Vide cooking you need to:

• Have a chamber vacuum packing machine that allows you to achieve a better and safer vacuum for solid and liquid foods.
• Make sure that the seal area of the bag is clean and free from food residues.
• Hermetically seal the food in a special food grade bag that can withstand the cooking temperatures.
• Create a vacuum in the bag of at least 99.8% to prevent air bubbles forming

inside that could affect the cooking.

- If you have a Smeg vacuum drawer, use the maximum vacuum level (level 3).

Once cooked, it is recommended to remove the product from the bag and finish cooking it in a pan or by grilling.

Useful tips:

• It is recommended to use fresh, quality foodstuffs that have been well preserved until cooked.
• Seasoning can be added to the bag in order to improve cooking results.
• Remove all bones from the foods that could pierce the bag and affect cooking.
• Do not leave the food to be cooked at room temperature for too long as the bag may inflate during cooking and lose all the advantages of vacuum sealing it.
• The food to be vacuum-sealed for Sous Vide cooking or for storage should be at fridge temperature (37°F/3°C to 45°F/7°C), never hot.
• Keep vacuum-sealed products (cooked and then blast chilled) in the fridge at a constant temperature and not above 37° F/ 3° C.
• In order to cook the food uniformly, place the food on one layer and do not overfill the bags.
• If you are cooking different foods at the same time, place the bags on the same shelf without overlapping them.
• Do not reuse the bags after cooking.

Cooking tips

General tips

• Use a fan function to achieve uniform cooking at several levels.
• Increasing the temperature does not shorten cooking or baking times (the food could be well cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
• To prevent condensation from forming on the glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.

Tips for cooking meats

• Cooking times vary depending on the thickness and quality of the meat, and on consumer tastes.
• For meat and potatoes, it is recommended from time to time to turn and/or mix the food to obtain a uniform browning on all sides.
• Use a meat thermometer when cooking roasts, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. If it feels hard, it is ready; otherwise, it needs to roast a bit longer.
• For low temperature cooking, brown the meat in a pan for a few minutes on all sides before baking in the oven.

Advice for cooking with the Grill

• The meat can be grilled starting with a cold oven or with the oven preheated if you want to change the effect of the cooking.
• When using the convection broil function (if any), it is recommended to preheat the oven cavity before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the center of the rack.
• With the broil function, we recommend that you set the temperature to the

maximum value to optimize cooking.

Tips for baking cakes and cookies

• It is preferable to use dark metal pans, which help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and baking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
• To check whether the cake is baked through, stick a toothpick into its highest point at the end of the baking time. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert goes flat when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 50° F/ 10° C, selecting a longer baking time if necessary.

Tips for cooking on two shelves:

• It is recommended to have 2 racks (can be requested to Authorized Assistance Centers).
• To facilitate the flow of air, place the molds/pans in the center of the racks and make sure that their width/diameter does not exceed 11" 13/16 (300 mm).
• Position the racks keeping an empty level between them.
• Depending on the food and the increased load inside the cavity, cooking on two levels may take a few minutes longer than on a single shelf.
• The functions indicated for cooking on two shelves are TRUE CONVECTION and EUROPEAN BAKE +.

Tips for defrosting and leavening

• Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven.
• Do not overlap foods.
• To defrost meat, use a rack placed on the second level and a tray placed on the first level. This way, the meat does not remain in contact with the liquid from thawing.
• The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminum foil.
• For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.

To save energy

• Turn off the oven a few minutes before the time required. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat already accumulated inside the oven.
• Do not open the oven door very often to avoid heat loss.
  • Always keep the inside of the appliance

clean.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the appliance

WARNING

Surface cleaning

To maintain the surfaces, you must clean them regularly after each use once they have cooled down.

Ordinary daily cleaning

Always use specific products only that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.

Food stains or residues

Do not use steel sponges and sharp scrapers, as they will damage the surfaces. Use normal, non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool, if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.

Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Cleaning the oven cavity

Proper maintenance of the oven's interior requires that it be cleaned regularly, after allowing it to cool.

Avoid leaving dried up food inside the oven because it could damage the enamel surface.

Before cleaning, take out all removable parts.

To make cleaning easier, we recommend the removal of:

- The door:

• the frame supports for racks/trays;.

NOTES

- If you are using specific cleaning products, we recommend operating the appliance at the maximum temperature for about 15-20 minutes to remove any residues.

Drying

Cooking food generates moisture inside the appliance. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the appliance's operation in any way.

Each time you finish cooking:

1. let the appliance cool down;
2. Remove any dirt from inside the appliance.
3. Dry the interior of the appliance with a soft cloth.
4. Leave the door open until the inside of the appliance has dried completely.

Removing racks/trays support frames

Removing the guide frames enables the sides to be cleaned more easily.

To remove the guide frames:

1. Unscrew the frame fastening pins:

1. Pull the frame towards the inside of the oven to free it from the fastening pins.

1. When cleaning is complete, repeat the above procedures to put the guide frames back in.

Cleaning the door

Removing the door

For easier cleaning it is recommended to remove the door and place it on a towel.

To remove the door proceed as follows:

1. Open the door completely and insert two pins into the holes on the hinges indicated in the figure.

1. Grasp the door on both sides with both hands, lift it forming an angle of around 30° and remove it.

1. To reattach the door, insert the hinges into the slots on the oven, making sure that grooved sections A fit tightly in the slots.

1. Lower the door and once it is in place remove the pins from the holes in the hinges.

Cleaning the door glazing

The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent paper towels. If there are tough to clean spots, use a damp sponge and regular detergent.

WARNING

NOTES

- The Vapor Clean function is an assisted cleaning procedure which facilitates the removal of dirt. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the oven very easily. The dirt residues are softened by the heat and water vapor for easier removal afterwards.
