food warm.

matically to 80 °C.

11.3 Cooking with steam

Cookware for steam cooking
• Use only heat and corrosion resistant
cookware or chrome steel food con-
tainers (for some models only).
Shelf positions
• The correct shelf positions are in the
table below. Count the shelf positions
from the bottom to the top.
General notes
• When you cook longer than 30 mi-
nutes or when you cook large quanti-
ties of food, add water if it is necessa-
ry.
• 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".
Notes on the tables for steam cooking
• The tables give data for typical dishes.
• The temperature and time are for
guidance only and depend on the
type, dimensions and quantity of the
food and cookware.
• Use a recipe that is almost the same if
you cannot find the settings for your
recipe.
• Start the procedure with a cold appli-
ance unless the data in the tables is
different.
• When you cook rice, use a ratio of
1.5:1 – 2:1 water to rice because rice
absorbs water.

then on the oven shelves. Adjust the dis-
tance between the cookware to let the
