• 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
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.
• 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 and the Fan
with 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, 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.
