–
Place the cooking containers on the rack and not on the
oven floor.
–
The distance between the upper rim of the container and
the top of the cooking compartment must be at least 3 cm
to allow sufficient steam into the container.
Condensate tray
Place the condensate tray on the lowest shelf runner when
using perforated containers. The tray will collect any drops of
liquid and allow them to be removed easily.
The condensate tray can also be used as a cooking
container.
Shelf level
You can use any shelf level and can even cook
simultaneously on several different levels. This won't change
cooking times.
Frozen food
The heating-up time for frozen food is longer than that for
fresh food. The more frozen food there is in the steam oven,
the longer the heating-up phase. The programmed cooking
duration, however, doesn't change so you can programme
the same duration as if you were cooking fresh food.
Temperature
The highest temperature reached in the steam oven is
100 °C. Almost all food can be cooked at this temperature.
Some delicate foods (e.g. berries) must be cooked at lower
temperatures, otherwise they will burst. Information is
provided about this in the relevant sections of this booklet.
