Cooking with steam
Food cooked at atmospheric pressure at a temperature slightly higher than 100
°C will not collapse or absorb excessive water. Colour and flavour are preserved,
unlike when cooking with a pressure cooker. The cooking time for a single vege-
table is slightly longer than in a pressure cooker.
Your steam oven
only requires setting of the cook time.
The water held in
the tank enters the oven cavity through a pipe. This water is transformed into
steam on contact with a hotplate at the base of the oven cavity. There is no need
to add water to the cooking dish (see recipe book). To ensure GENUINE STEAM
COOKING, your steam oven is supplied with specially designed accessories for
perfect cooking results.
For a dish composed of several vegetables with different cooking times, best
results will be obtained by setting the minute minder for the vegetable which
takes the longest to cook. This will save time and reduce handling.
To make the oven easy to use and to ensure the best possible results, a single
shelf height is provided.

1) ACCESSORIES
Your oven is equipped with:
- rack to prevent the food from coming
into contact with the condensation
water,
- a dish to collect the condensation
water,
- a removable stainless steel shelf
- a steam diffuser which can be removed to make
cleaning easier.
The accessories can be washed in a dishwasher.
2) THE TANK
Before each use, the tank MUST be filled with water to maximum level. (The noise heard
when the empty tank is shaken is the water level detection system).
- To do this remove the tank from its housing and fill it with water only.
Replace the tank in its housing, pushing it in FULLY until a you feel it going ACROSS A
NOTCH.
Important: if your tap water is very hard, you are advised to use bottled, calcium-free
still water.
Use of demineralised water is not recommended as this is not for food use.
After each time you cook, you MUST remove and empty the tank to prevent the water in it
from stagnating, and wipe up any traces of water left in the tank holder.

- Fill the tank and put it in place.
- Place the dish to be cooked on the shelf and close the door of the steam oven.
- Turn the minute minder clockwise (e.g. 30 minutes' cooking). Cooking starts
straight away.
When cooking is completed, a series of intermittent beeps sounds.
- Open the door.
- Remove your dish and empty the tank.
- Turn the knob to OFF. The intermittent beeps stop. The oven has been switched
off.
Opening the door
This cooking method requires a large amount of steam to be held in the oven cavity.
The door should only be opened after the beeps have sounded when cooking is fini-
shed.
Cooking in ramekin dishes
To prevent any problems caused by the condensation water produced during cooking
in ramekin dishes, (e.g. custard), place them on the rack before starting cooking.
