Setting the altitude

This process rinses the water lines and sets the unit to the water boiling temperature which varies depending on the altitude in your area.

• Open the door by pushing on the left side of the door release.
  The door opens.
  Take the steam generator from the appliance and take the insert out, see "Cleaning and Care".
• Rinse the steam generator and insert with hot water. Do not use soap.

Do not wash the steam generator or the insert in a dishwasher!

Do not submerge the steam generator in water!

Start the cooking program "Cook Universal" 212^ F ( 100^ C ) and run for 15 minutes. Proceed as described in "Using the steam oven".

Relocating

When relocating to a new area, reset the unit's water boiling temperature by descending the appliance. See "Cleaning and Care" for more information.

Setting the altitude for the first time and after relocation will produce more steam than usual. This is not a fault.

Stainless steel cooking containers are supplied with the appliance. Other containers are available in a variety of sizes, perforated or solid, as optional accessories.

Please note when selecting cookware:

• Use the perforated cooking containers whenever possible, e.g. for cooking vegetables. The steam can reach the food from all sides and cook evenly.
• For thicker items, e.g. potatoes, build larger spaces between them. It is best to space food as much as possible so steam can surround each piece. Larger and deeper containers can be used for larger items.

• Dense dishes such as casseroles or food such as peas or asparagus which have little space between them will take longer to cook because the steam has less space to work in. The cooking time will be longer the more of this kind of food is filled in the container. It is best to use 2 or 3 shallow containers for these foods. The recommended cooking times are for shallow containers. For larger fill heights the cooking time is extended.

• When cooking with several containers at a time, use only one large container for best results.

• The capacity of the steam oven is for about 6 - 8 portions. Do not cook more portions at a time.
  See "Cooking tips" for more information.

You can also use your own containers and dishes. However, please note the following:

• The container must be heat resistant to 212^ F ( 100^ C ). Heat resistant glass, ceramics, porcelain (chinaware), plastics, stainless steel or enamel dishes are all suitable.
• Food will take longer to cook in a dish with thick sides.
• Place the dish on the supplied rack.
• Ensure that there is a gap of at least 1'' (3 cm) between the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam to enter the container.

Before each use

Insert the drip tray in the lower level when using a perforated container.
Fill the water tank.

The insert can remain inside.

Only use tap water, do not use distilled or mineral water!

The water level must be between the min. 0.75 l, and max. 1.2 l marks. The marks are on the outside and inside of the steam generator.

Do not exceed the "max" level marker.

To shorten the heating phase, use hot water. Use caution when handling the water tank.

Push the steam generator into the machine until it engages.

If the water tank is not properly engaged, the oven will not heat and the display will show F20. See "Frequently asked questions".

Tips for steaming

• The duration for cooking with steam is almost the same as cooking in a pot.
• The steam prevents the food from drying out and the disadvantages coming with it. The food stays moist and juicy. The same is true not only for vegetables but also for desserts, fish and meat recipes.
• You can cook on any level or on multiple levels at the same time. The duration will not change.
• The food will not brown and does not get a crust. The food is gently steamed, not fried or baked. Cheese will melt but not brown. Steaming food is healthy and accentuates its flavor.
• When cooking frozen food, e.g. vegetables, break up large clumps so they cook evenly. The duration is approximately the same as for fresh vegetables.
• Frozen and fresh vegetables with the same duration can be steamed together.
• Since steaming retains flavor so well, food should not be seasoned until after it has been cooked.

• When cooking with liquids only fill the containers 3 / 4 of the way.

• Food like noodles or rice need to be cooked in fluids. Noodles should be well covered with fluid. Rice, beans and cereals need to be cooked in equal amounts of food and water.

• Follow the cooking time for pasta on the packaging.
• The cooking liquid gets absorbed by some food (e.g. rice). With other food it can be used for gravy or sauces.
• You can prepare gravy in the steam oven by adding flour and butter to the liquid.
• Grease the perforated container when cooking fish. Grease the solid container when cooking eggs, e.g. scrambled eggs.
• To avoid any transfer of tastes caused by moisture dripping from above, perforated containers should be inserted in the lower runner and the solid containers should be placed on the rack on an upper level.
• Yeast dough can be proofed in the steam oven. Select the "Cook Universal" function and lower the default temperature to 105^ F ( 40^ C ). Cover the dough.

• This temperature does not reflect the default temperature.

When defrosting frozen foods in the steam oven, the defrosting time is much shorter than defrosting at room temperature.

Insert the food in a container or on the rack.
Select the function "Defrosting" and confirm.
If desired adjust the default temperature (see table) and confirm.
- Select the defrosting time (see table) and confirm.

Tips for defrosting

Do not cook with defrosting liquids.

• When defrosting poultry, set the food on the rack and insert the drip tray beneath it. This way the food will not lay in its defrosting liquid.
• Food which will not release defrosting liquid can be placed on the rack or in a container.
• Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost it so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Fish coated with breadcrumbs should be fully defrosted so that the coating sticks.
• Turn, stir or separate food about halfway through the defrosting process.
• Allow food to stand at room temperature after defrosting. This compensation time (see table) is necessary to ensure that the food is fully defrosted.
• Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted.
• Defrost deep frozen, precooked meals according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Defrost baked items such as pastry or cakes in a closed freezer bag.

With some planning, an entire meal can be cooked in the steam oven.

• Place cooking containers on different levels or side by side on the rack.

Since different foods cook differently, they must be inserted at different times.

Example:
