Microwaves
The appliance is equipped with a microwave
generator called a magnetron. The microwaves
generated are evenly emitted into the oven
cavity in order to reach the food and heat it.
Heating takes place through friction between
the molecules contained in the food (mainly
water molecules), with the consequent
generation of heat.
The heat generated directly inside the food
allows it to be defrosted, re-heated or cooked
in a shorter time compared to traditional
cooking.
The use of suitable containers for microwave
cooking leads to the microwaves reaching the
food in a uniform manner.
Advantages of humidified and 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.
(Valid for steam cooking only)
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
Preliminary operations
• Remove any protective film from the outside
or inside of the appliance, including
accessories.
• Remove any labels (apart from the technical
data plate) from the accessories and
shelves.
• Remove and wash all the appliance
accessories (see chapter "CLEANING
AND MAINTENANCE").
First heating
1. Set a cooking time of at least one hour (see
paragraph "Using the oven").
2. Heat the empty oven compartment at the
maximum temperature to burn off any
residues left by the manufacturing process.
When heating the appliance
•air the room;
•don't stay.
