Attention: Always use water only.

Cookware for Steam Cooking
• Ordinary baking tins, heat-resistant tins and roasting dishes are suita-

ble for steam cooking.

• Do not use enamelled baking tins! Chrome steel food containers are

also very suitable.

Oven Levels
• The appropriate oven level can be found in the following table. Be

careful to count oven levels starting from the bottom.

General Tips
• For cooking times longer than 30 minutes or when cooking larger

quantities, top up water, if necessary.

• With Vigorous Steam and Interval Steam take out the grease filter;

otherwise, cooking time is longer.

• If not used for long periods, thoroughly rinse out the water drawer,

connecting hoses and steam generator (see Chapter "Care and Clean-
ing").

How to use the Steam Cooking Tables
The Tables give the required temperature settings, cooking times and
oven levels for a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and cooking times are for guidance only, as these will

depend on the composition and size of the food, the quantity and
type of ovenware.

• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the

one that is most similar.

• Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that

steam cooking is started with the oven cold.
