cooking.
• When using the fan-assisted with grill
function, 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 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.
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
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

inside a sealed bag. The food’s flavours
are enhanced and no nutrients are lost.
The bag containing the food can be
placed on the perforated tray or on a
rack positioned on the first or second
shelf.
