Clean the system steamer and all accessories with hot soapy water.

Stick the protective film provided to the underside of the protruding part of the work surface. Peel back the protective cover, stick in place and trim to size.

System steamer

The essential elements of the system steamer are the extra-deep pan, the large steamer tray and the glass lid.

For larger quantities and for preparing rice or sauces, you can also use the rack with the cooking containers.

Only use the original parts supplied.

You can find further information about steaming in the enclosed booklet.

You can also use the extra-deep pan individually to prepare large quantities of bakes, for example.

Steam

Do not open the oven during cooking. Exception: When combining different foods that have considerable differences in their cooking times.

The cooking time is determined by the size of the food being cooked. If you are simultaneously cooking food with different cooking times:

Cut the food with the longer cooking time into smaller pieces
Lengthen the cooking time for delicate foods by cooking larger pieces.

In general, 500ml of water (no distilled water) is used for steaming. Exception: Foods that soak up water (e.g. potatoes) and ingredients with long cooking times require 750ml of water (see the cooking table or enclosed booklet).

1. Preheat the oven for 10 minutes using Bottom heating at 150^ or using Steam cooking.
2. Add the water to the extra-deep pan.
3. Place the food in the system steamer.
4. Place the glass lid in position so that it is resting on the extra-deep pan all the way round.
5. Insert the system steamer at level 1.

Hot steam may escape when you open the oven door. Open the oven carefully after cooking.

1. When cooking has finished, take the system steamer out of the oven. Use suitable oven gloves to do this.
2. Set down the system steamer. Do not place it on the oven door.

Risk of scalding!
