Steam cooking

General remarks

EN

Used in accordance with the instructions, steam cooking has many advantages over other methods. Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the true taste of your food. A fine sauce flavoured with aromatic herbs can make all the difference in the world.

Steam cooking is odourless. There is no need to flavour the cooking water with herbs or spices, though - fish, for example, can be flavoured by placing it on a bed of seaweed, or chicken on a bunch of rosemary or tarragon.

Meat, fish and vegetables can be cooked simultaneously.

Pasta, rice and purees can be reheated without drying out or sticking to the pan.

Cooking custards, flans, or milky rice dishes is facilitated by steam cookery. Covered in aluminium foil, the condensation will not reach the food.

There is no need to season prior to cooking, not even the cooking water.

Meat can browned by a quick searing in hot butter on each side.

In comparison to boiling, steam cookery wins hands down.

It is quick: cooking starts immediately, whereas the cooking time of food in boiling water is only counted from the return of the water to the boil.

It is healthy: the hydro soluble vitamins and minerals are conserved because they barely dissolve in the condensed water that surrounds the food.

In addition, no fat is used in cooking.

Steam respects the food's own flavour. It adds neither flavour, nor the grilled or fried taste. It doesn't remove any flavour either, because there is no dilution in water.

The other side of the coin: it is not worth cooking a fish that isn't fresh, or vegetables that have been forgotten at the back of the refrigerator for a week: in this way - the results will be catastrophic!

Steam does not transfer tastes or odours, so you can save both time and money by cooking - side by side but not touching - a fish and a dessert, for example.

Steam is also highly suitable for blanching, defrosting and reheating, as well as keeping warm - especially sauces.

Meats such as poultry, veal, and pork should be lightly browned in very little oil prior to cooking, to render them appetisingly golden.

Then finish their cooking by steam.

Foods will cook more quickly and evenly if they are cut into pieces than if they are left whole.

Cooking immediately

Operational principle

The water contained in the tank reaches the cavity via a tube. This water is transformed into steam on contact with a hot surface placed in the lower part of the cavity: the steam generator.

There is no need to add water to the cooking dish. To guarantee TRUE STEAM COOKING, your oven is supplied with a set of specially designed for cookware to perfection.

You MUST IMPERATIVELY fill the water tank up to the maximum level before starting cooking. Put the tank back in place, and push it as far as possible until it ClickS INTO PLACE.
When cooking, the appliance gets hot. Hot steam may escape when you open the door of the appliance. Keep children out of the way.

3 Validate with the START button.

4 The symbol comes on. When the temperature is reached, 100^ becomes constant, and a beep sounds.

In order to avoid altering the results of the cooking, avoid opening the appliance door during cooking.

Defrosting

Defrosting at 60^ .

EN

1 Press the button *. A time of 40 minutes is suggested.

You can stop the cooking at all times by pressing on START/STOP (hold the button down for about 1 second).

If the steam production has not yet started (about 1 minute), the oven will stop immediately and the time setting will disappear.

If the steam production has already started, the time passes to 3 minutes and during this period, the steam evacuates before you open the oven.

At the end of cooking

0m00s displays. The display animation stops. Beeps are heard for a 3 minute period.

To stop the beeps, press on STOP and open the door.

You MUST IMPERATIVELY empty the tank

In order to make sure the oven is reliable, the fan continues to operate for a certain period after the end of cooking.

Advice

Freeze small portions; defrosting will be faster, more homogenous and quality will be preserved. When semi-defrosted, you can turn over the food items or spread them out (for example vegetables patties). Protect pastries with a cling wrap or keep the original packaging. Wipe fish and sausages before grilling: humidity stops them from becoming golden brown. For large pieces (roasts, etc.) proceed in steps by turning the piece over several times and adjust the time accordingly.

	In blocks	placed on dish	40/45 min

Reheating

You can reheat a cooked dish in your steam oven. The dish will not dry out, will not become overcooked and will not splatter or stick. Adjust steam sequence at 100^ , place the dish or plate on the grill, protect with aluminium foil or cling wrap to avoid drops of water accumulating and heat for 20 to 25 minutes depending on the dish and your preferences.

Examples:

In case of problems related to the water circuit during cooking, the 'no water' symbol appears and a beep sounds.This fault is specifically related to:

• an empty tank,
• a wrongly-fitted tank.
