Advice and suggestions for steam
cooking
• Be sure not to cover the pots with lids, this
would make it impossible for the steam
to come into contact with the food.
• You can cook your dishes directly on the
grill (Fig. 24). In this case remember to
pour a little water into the drip-tray and
to slide it into position beneath the grill.
The drip-tray will collect the fats melted
during cooking, and the water prevents
the fats from burning and producing
unpleasant odours or smoke.
• If you wish to open the door to check the
cooking process, remember to
disconnect the STEAM function . After
you have checked the food, close the door
and select the steam cooking function
once more.
For steam cooking, proceed as
follows:
1. Before every steam cooking, fill the tank
as shown on page 17. The amount of
800 cc (0,8 lt) of water is enough for
about 40/45 of cooking time.
2. Then prepare the food in pots suitable
to be used in the oven, position them on
the shelf (Fig. 23) at the height suggested
in the cooking tables. The 2° level from
the bottom usually gives the best results.
3. Select the “steam” function
4. Select a temperature between 130°C
and 230°C. Remember that above
230°C steam cooking does not give
very good results.
5. Empty the water tank after every steam
cooking following the emptying procedure
described on page 35.
Wait at least 30 minute after
every steam cooking in order to
avoid hot water exit from water
outlet valve.

How to use steam cooking
The possible formation of conden-
sate on the oven door glass, walls
and bottom does not affect oven
operation.
We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of the
oven.
Take care when opening the
oven door as the steam will
immediately pour out.
