•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.
