12.3 Cooking with steam
• Use only heat and corrosion resistant
cookware or chrome steel food
containers (for some models only).
• The correct shelf positions are in the
table below. Count the shelf positions
from the bottom to the top.
• When you cook longer than 30
minutes or when you cook large
quantities of food, add water if it is
necessary.
• Put the food into the correct cooking
containers and put the containers on
the shelves. Make sure that there is
some distance between the shelves to
let the steam circulate around each
container.
• After each use, remove the water
from the water drawer, connecting
hoses and steam generator. Refer to
the chapter "Care and cleaning".
• The tables give data for typical dishes.
• Start the procedure with a cold
appliance unless the data in the
tables is different.
• Use a recipe that is almost the same if
you cannot find the settings for your
recipe.
• When you cook rice, use a ratio of
1.5 : 1 – 2 : 1 water to rice because
rice absorbs water.
