Check that the water tank is filled and properly inserted. If the tank symbol flashes, fill it. Make sure the steam generation is not defective (contact after-sales service if needed).

How to use the steam cooking function?

Select the steam symbol, then choose a program from E-1 to E-9 using < or >. You can also use DIY mode to set time and temperature (max 100°C). Place food in a perforated tray on the grid and put a tray at the bottom to collect liquids.

What do error codes ER1, ER2, etc. mean?
