OPERATION
Steam Function
Steam cooking uses the moist heat of steam to cook
food. This is an ideal cooking method for delicate
food items such as seafood, which can lose nutrients
when boiled.
The oven provides 2 methods of steam cooking:
Steam Assist, and Gourmet Steam.
CAUTION
•
Take care when opening the oven door during
or after steam cooking. Hot steam can cause
scalding.
•
After any steam cooking cycle, the drying function
will run automatically. It is normal to hear the
steam pump running during the drying function.
Using the Steam Feeder Tank
The steam feeder tank is located over the oven cavity.
1
Gently push the front of the steam feeder tank to
slide it out.
2
Remove the tank and place it on a flat surface.
3
Remove the tank cover or flip open the fill lid at
the front of the tank cover.
4
Fill the tank to the max line located at the front of
the tank. Use softened, filtered water, if possible.
Hard water may clog the steam generator more
quickly with scale buildup.

CAUTION
•
Make sure the tank cover and fill lid are closed
before putting in the oven.

Carefully insert the tank into the steam feeder
slot, making sure to keep the tank level while
carrying it. If the tank is not kept level, water will
drain out of the tubes in the back.
7
Slide the tank into the slot until it clicks into
place.
Steam-Assist Mode
The Steam-Assist mode heats food gradually, using
the oven heating elements and moist steam heat.
Preset temperature options start at 350 °F (175 °C).
Setting Steam-Assist Mode
1
Touch Steam Cook.
2
Touch Steam-Assist.
3
Select the desired temperature and steam level:
Low, Medium, or High.
4
If desired, scroll to set the cook time and delayed
start time. Touch the arrow key on the right
side of the display to see the delayed start time
settings.
5
Touch Start.
6
Once cooking is finished, allow oven to cool
completely, then wipe up any water left on oven
interior.
Once Steam-Assist cooking is started, an indicator on
the display shows the status of the steam function.
Make sure the steam feeder tank is filled with water
before starting the Steam-Assist mode. If the water in
the tank runs out during cooking, a chime sounds and
a popup appears in the display. The oven continues
to cook without steam.
NOTE
•
Remember to drain the steam feeder tank after
use.
•
It is normal to hear the sound of boiling water
from the steam generator while running the
steam functions.
•
If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom
after steam mode, use a cloth or sponge
soaked in vinegar or a weak citric acid solution
to remove them before using the steam mode
again. See the Maintenance section under
Descaling for more info. To remove stubborn
hard water scale, use the Descaling function.
•
Wipe away excess water left over after cooling.
