62 - USE 914779747/B
PPR2 or STONE(refractory stone)
Ideal accessory for baking bread (pizza,
bread, focaccia...), but you can also use it for
more delicate preparations such as biscuits.
BBQ (teflon-coated barbecue grill pan)
Double-use accessory: the striped side is
recommended for grilling meat (fillets,
hamburgers...), while the smooth surface can be
used for cooking vegetables, fruit, fish...
AIRFRY (oil-free frying grill)
Recommended accessory for air-frying
previously breaded, precooked and/or frozen

Advantages of steam cooking
The steam cooking system cooks any type of
food much smoother and faster and finds its
main applications for:
Braising and stewing
•Cooking sauces
•Cooking au gratin
•Roasting
•Low temperature cooking
Regenerating
Multi-mode cooking
Variations in temperature and steam levels allow
the wished gastronomic result to be achieved.
The addition of steam allows the use of less fat in
favour of a healthier and more genuine cuisine.
It also minimizes the loss of weight and volume
in food while cooking.
Steam cooking is particularly suitable for
cooking meat: in addition to making it very soft,
it maintains it bright and makes it more succulent.
Also recommended for baking leavened and
bread dough. The humidity in fact lets the dough
grow and develop while cooking before
creating the outer crust. The result is a lighter and
more digestible dough, recognizable by thicker
pockets.
It is also ideal for defrosting food rapidly, for
heating up foods without hardening or drying
them out, and for naturally removing salt from
foodstuffs preserved with salt.
It is not recommended for short cooking times or
for foods that may produce a large amount of
moisture during cooking.
Cooking containers
You may also use your own containers for
cooking, as long as they are resistant to high
temperatures.
For steam cooking, the use of metal
containers is recommended. Metal
facilitates better distribution of heat to the
foods.
It is normal for metal containers to deform
somewhat during high-temperature cooking,
but they will return to their original shape
when they cool down.
Thick ceramic plates may require more heat
than normal. Longer cooking times may be
necessary.
USE

Sous Vide cooking
Sous vide cooking in a steam oven is the best
way to cook food without altering its nutritional
properties and quality. It is also an extremely
healthy and natural type of cooking.
The Sous vide technique allows the heat to
be transferred efficiently from the steam to
the food, preventing the loss of flavour
through the oxidation and evaporation of
nutrients and humidity during cooking.
Sous vide cooking also allows greater
control over the cooking compared to
traditional methods and ensures that
cooking is uniform.
It also allows cooking to be carried out at
lower temperatures compared to traditional
cooking methods.
For Sous Vide cooking you need to:
Have a chamber vacuum packing machine
that allows you to achieve a better and safer
vacuum for solid and liquid foods.
Make sure that the seal area of the bag is
clean and free from food residues.
Hermetically seal the food in a special food
grade bag that can withstand the cooking
temperatures.
Create a vacuum in the bag of at least
99.8% to prevent air bubbles forming inside
that could affect the cooking.
If you have a Smeg vacuum drawer, use the
It is recommended to drain at the end of
each cooking, to prevent any residue of
unused water from remaining inside the
reservoir.
After a long period of inactivity it is
recommended to make a reservoir
filling and draining cycle to rinse the
steam circuit.
Take care: the water may be very hot.
The drained water cannot be used for
other cooking.
SOUS VIDE

maximum vacuum level (level 3).
Once cooked, it is recommended to remove the
product from the bag and finish cooking it in a
pan or by grilling.
Tips:
Preferably use fresh, high quality raw
materials well-preserved until cooked.
To improve the cooking result, dressings can
be added inside the bag.
Clean the food well from bones or fishbones
that could pierce the bag and damage the
cooking.
Do not leave the food to be cooked for too
long at room temperature as the bag may
swell during cooking, losing all the
advantages of vacuum.
The food to be vacuum-packed for Sous
Vide cooking or storage must be at a
refrigerator temperature (from 3°C to 7°C),
never hot.
Keep the products in a vacuum (cooked
and then blast chilled) at a constant
temperature not exceeding 3°C in the
refrigerator.
For even cooking, do not overfill the bags
and place the food in the best possible way

Advice for steam cooking
Pasta and rice: upon reaching 100°C, the
cooking time will be the same as with
cooking on a hob. Place the pasta or rice in
a metal tray and cover with around a
centimetre of water. For best results when
cooking rice, place a lid on the container or
cover with aluminium foil. This procedure
allows the rice to absorb all the water, and it
can then be served directly to the table.
Eggs: these may be boiled, scrambled or
poached by using the steam function at
100°C. To obtain perfect boiled eggs,
place them on the perforated tray and cook
for 4-6 minutes for soft boiled eggs and 8-
10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. For
scrambled eggs, place the beaten eggs in
a metal tray together with milk, butter and
seasoning. Cover the tray with aluminium
foil. Mix every couple of minutes using a
fork. For poached eggs, pour boiling water
into the metal tray with a drop of vinegar
and steam cook for around 4-5 minutes.
Vegetables: steam cooking vegetables
gives excellent results. They maintain their
colour, flavour and nutritional properties. For
dense vegetables such as potatoes, turnips
and parsnips, cook at 100°C for the same
length of time you would boil them on a hob.
For broccoli and carrots, cook for 6 minutes
if you want them to remain firm, or 10
minutes if you want them to be softer.
Fish: due to the delicate nature of fish,
steaming gives excellent results. For oily fish
such as salmon or trout, cook at 100°C for
around 5 minutes. For white fish such as cod
or haddock, cook at 80°C for around 5
minutes. If you are cooking different foods,
all fish must be cooked in the perforated tray
which must be placed on the bottom shelf of
the oven to avoid liquid from the fish
dripping onto other food products.
Meat: casseroles and curries are ideal for
steam cooking. Prepare the casserole as for
normal oven cooking. Place it in a metal
tray, cover with a lid or aluminium foil, and
cook for between 45 minutes and 3 hours
depending on the cut of meat used.
Thin soups: steam cooking allows flavours
to develop perfectly with minimum effort, as
the liquids will not boil over. For vegetable
soup with the correct consistency, first steam
the vegetables, then add broth and steam
cook at 100°C. The steam function is also
ideal for preparing large quantities for later
use.
Soups: Thicker soups are also easy and
quick to prepare. Place the soup in a metal
tray, cover with a lid or aluminium foil and
steam cook at 100°F for the same time you
would cook it in a microwave oven. To
obtain a creamy texture stir halfway through
cooking.
Reheating: the steam cooking function will
not dry foods out and gives a moister result.
A previously prepared home-cooked meal,
covered with aluminium foil, will take around
background

e
10-12 minutes to reheat. Ready meals will
require approximately double the time
indicated on the package.
Defrosting: it is possible to use the steam
function to defrost foods. Times vary, but
defrosting with the steam cooking function
takes around half the time necessary for
covered foods left to defrost at room
temperature.
Peeling peppers and tomatoes: this is very
easy to do when using the steam function.
Use a knife to cut a small cross in the skin of
the tomato, and steam cook for 1 minute.
Peppers have tougher skin, and may require
up to 4 minutes to soften it sufficiently for
peeling.
Chocolate: this can be melted using the
steam cooking function. Place the chocolate
in a metal tray, cover with aluminium foil and
steam cook for 1 minute. Unlike other
methods, chocolate is unlikely to burn in the
steam oven.
Hot towels: ideal for facial treatments, a
close shave or for use after a meal, these
are easy to prepare using the steam
cooking function. Moisten a towel with
water, roll it up and steam it for 1 minute.

Cooking advice
General advice
Use a fan-assisted function to achieve
consistent cooking at several levels.
It is not possible to shorten cooking times by
increasing the temperature (the food could
be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
Turn the food to brown both sides.
Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it needs
another few minutes cooking.
Advice for cooking with the Grill
Meat can be grilled even when it is put into
the cold oven or into the preheated oven if
you wish to change the effect of the
cooking.
When using the fan-assisted with grill
function(if any), we recommend that you
preheat the oven before grilling.
We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
With the Grill function, we recommend that
you set the temperature to the maximum
value to optimise cooking.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and
biscuits
Use dark metal moulds: They help to absorb
the heat better.
The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency of
the dough.
To check whether the dessert is cooked right
through: At the end of the cooking time, put
a toothpick into the highest point of the
dessert. If the dough does not stick to the
toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
If the dessert collapses when it comes out of
the oven, on the next occasion reduce the
set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a
longer cooking time if necessary.
Advice for cooking with two shelves:
We suggest to arrange two racks (they can
be requested to Authorised Service
Centres).
To facilitate the air flow, place the moulds/
Traditional cooking suitable for the
preparation of one dish at a time. Ideal
for cooking roasts, fatty meats, bread,
pies.
Intense and uniform cooking. Ideal for
biscuits, cakes and multilevel cooking.
The heat is distributed quickly and
evenly. Suitable for all dishes, ideal for
cooking on several levels without mixing
odours and flavours.
It allows to obtain excellent grilling and
grating results. Used at the end of
cooking, it gives a uniform browning to
the dishes.
The heat only comes from the bottom of
the cavity. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts
and pizzas.
This function is particularly suitable for
cooking on a single shelf with low
energy consumption.
It is recommended for all types of food,
excluding those that can create a lot of
humidity (such as vegetables).
To obtain maximum energy savings and
reduce cooking times, it is
recommended to place food in the
oven without preheating.
When using the ECO function, avoid
opening the door during cooking.
In the ECO function cooking times (and
any preheating) are longer and may
depend on the amount of food in the
cooking compartment.
The ECO function is a delicate cooking
function and is recommended for food
withstanding temperatures lower than
210°C; in case of cooking at higher
temperatures, select another function.

casseroles in the centre of the racks and
make sure that their width/diameter does
not exceed 30 cm.
Place the racks leaving one free shelf
between them.
Depending on the food and the increased
load inside the cavity, cooking on two levels
may take a few minutes longer than on a
single shelf.
The functions indicated for cooking on two
shelves are THERMALLY-VENTILATED and
THERMALLY-VENTILATED BASE.
Advice for steam cooking
For bread-type products (bread, focaccia,
etc.) and frozen desserts, where steam is
useful during the first few minutes of cooking,
we recommend setting a steam function for
the first 5-10 minutes and then switching to
ventilated mode to complete cooking.
For steam heating insert in a cold oven.
Advice for defrosting and proving
Place frozen foods without their packaging
in a lidless container on the first shelf of the
oven.
Avoid overlapping the food.
To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the
second level and a tray on the first level. In
this way, the liquid from the defrosting food
drains away from the food.
The most delicate parts can be covered with
aluminium foil.
For successful proving, a container of water
should be placed in the bottom of the oven.
To save energy
Stop cooking a few minutes before the time
normally used. Cooking will continue for the
remaining minutes with the heat which has
accumulated inside the oven.
Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all
times.
Advice on using the probe (if fitted)
The probe can also be used during normal
timed cooking:
1. Insert the probe into the food you are
cooking, and connect it to its socket.
2. Press the button and check the
temperature of the food in the Instantaneous
temperature field.
