Use
28
Advice for steaming
Pasta and rice: once a temperature of
100°C has been reached the cooking
time will be the same as on a cooktop.
Put the pasta or rice in a metal tray and
cover with about a centimetre of water.
For best results when cooking rice, place
a lid on the container or cover with
aluminium foil. This enables the rice to
absorb all the water and can be served
directly.
Eggs: can be boiled, scrambled or
poached using the steam function at
100°C. For perfect boiled eggs, place
them in the perforated tray and cook
them for 4-6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs
and 8-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
For scrambled eggs, place the beaten
eggs in the metal tray together with milk,
butter and the condiments. Cover it with
aluminium foil. Every couple of minutes
stir the contents with a fork. For poached
eggs pour boiling water into the metal
tray with a drop of vinegar and steam for
about 4-5 minutes.
Vegetables: they are perfect when
steamed. They maintain their colour,
flavour and nutritional value. For dense
vegetables such as potatoes, turnips and
parsnips, cook at 100°C for the same
length of time as you would boil them for
on the cooktop. For broccoli and carrots,
cook for 6 minutes for a firm consistency
or up to 10 minutes for a softer
consistency.
Fish: being a naturally delicate food, it is
perfect when steamed. For fatty fish such
as salmon or trout, cook at 100°C for
about 5 minutes. For white fish such as
cod and haddock cook at 80°C for
about 5 minutes. When cooking different
foods at the same time, all the fish should
be cooked in the perforated tray placed
on the lower shelf of the oven in order to
prevent the fish juices from dripping onto
other foods.
Meat: casseroles and curry are perfect
for steaming. Prepare the casserole as
you would for cooking it normally in the
oven. Place it in the metal tray, cover with
a lid or aluminium foil and according to
the cut of meat, cook it between 45
minutes and 3 hours.
Thin soups: steaming helps to enhance
the flavour with minimal supervision
because the liquids will not overflow. To
produce vegetable soup of the right
consistency, first steam the vegetables,
then add the stock and steam at 100°C.
The steam function is also ideal for
preparing quantities to store.
Soups: they are simple and quick to
prepare. Put the soup in a metal tray,
cover with a lid or aluminium foil and
steam at 100°C for the same length of
time as for microwave cooking. To obtain
a creamy texture stir half way through
cooking.
Use
29
EN
Reheating foods: the steam function will
not dry the foods and will improve
moisture content. A previously prepared
home-made meal, covered with
aluminium foil requires about 10-12
minutes to cook. Ready meals require
about double the amount of time
indicated on the packaging.
Defrosting: the steam function can be
used to defrost foods. Times may vary,
but defrosting using steam takes about
half the time compared to leaving
covered foods to defrost in a corner of
the kitchen.
Peeling tomatoes and peppers: this is
very easy to do when using the steam
function. Cut a small cross on the skin of
the tomato using a knife and steam for
about 1 minute. Peppers have tougher
skin and it will take up to 4 minutes to
soften them sufficiently for peeling.
Chocolate: it can be melted using the
steam function. Place the chocolate in the
metal tray, cover with aluminium foil and
steam for 1 minute. Chocolate is unlikely
to burn in the steam oven.
Hot towels: useful for facial care such as
a close shave or for use after a meal.
They are simple to prepare using the
steam function. Dampen a towel with
water, roll it up and heat using steam for
1 minute.

Traditional functions list
Fan forced
The combination of the fan and the
circular heating element
(incorporated in the rear of the
oven) allows you to cook different
foods on several levels, as long as
they need the same temperatures
and same type of cooking. Hot air
circulation ensures instant and even
distribution of heat. It will be
possible, for instance, to cook fish,
vegetables and biscuits
simultaneously (on different levels)
without odours and flavours
mingling.
Grill
The heat coming from the grill
element gives perfect grilling results
above all for thin and medium
thickness meat and, in combination
with the rotisserie (where fitted),
gives the food an even browning at
the end of cooking. Ideal for grilled
cheese and gratinating. This
function enables large quantities of
food, particularly meat, to be grilled
evenly.

This low energy consumption
function is particularly suitable for
cooking on a single shelf.
Ideal when cooking meat, fish and
vegetables. It is not recommended
for foods that require proving.
For greater energy savings and to
reduce the time required, it is
recommended to put foods in the
oven cavity without preheating it.
When using the ECO function,
avoid opening the oven door
during cooking.
When using the ECO function,
cooking times (and pre-heating, if
used) are longer.
Convection
As the heat comes from above and
below at the same time, this system
is particularly suitable for certain
types of food. Traditional cooking,
also known as static cooking, is
suitable for cooking just one dish at
a time. Ideal for pies, bread and
casseroles. It is also suitable for fatty
meat such as duck and goose.
Fan assisted
The operation of the fan, combined
with traditional cooking, ensures
consistent cooking even with
complex recipes. Perfect for roasts.

the grill, perfectly grilling even very
thick cuts of meat such as steaks,
pork chops etc.
Fan forced + baker’s function
Fan-assisted cooking is combined
with the heat coming from the
bottom, and at the same time,
allows you to slightly brown food.
Ideal for soufflés, quiches and
pizza.
Supercook
The combination of fan assisted
cooking and traditional cooking
allows different foods to be cooked
on several levels extremely quickly
and efficiently, without odours and
flavours mingling. Perfect for large
volumes that call for intense
cooking.
To obtain a rotisserie effect, set the
temperature to maximum. When the
appliance reaches maximum
temperature, return the temperature
to normal. This procedure seals the
liquids inside the meat, and reduces
shrinkage.

3.5 Cooking advice
General advice
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).
Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
The first few times you use the appliance,
when you have not yet acquired enough
experience regarding the cooking times
needed for the foods, it is recommended
to set slightly longer cooking times and to
quickly taste the food close to the end of
cooking. If it is not ready, it is anyway
possible to continue to cook it using the
remaining cooking time and without
having to add more water to the
reservoir. If it is ready, cooking can be
stopped immediately and the remaining
water drained from the reservoir.
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 steaming
• Cooking times depend on the density of
the food and not the quantity. For
example, a whole broccoli takes as long
to cook as 20 florets. If the amount in a
casserole is increased, the density
increases and therefore the cooking time
also increases.
If possible, use a perforated container to
allow the steam to surround the food on
all sides.
• Steaming significantly reduces the
transfer of flavours from one type of food
to another. However, always make sure
that the foods cooked in a perforated
container, such as fish, are placed on the
bottom of the oven.
• If there is a possibility that the steam
might change the consistency of the food
during cooking (for example in
casseroles, puddings...) always cover
them with aluminium foil.
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 wooden toothpick into its
highest point. 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.
Use
43
EN
Advice for defrosting
Place frozen foods without their
packaging in a lidless container on the
first shelf of the oven cavity.
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.
To save energy
Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
Keep the inside of the appliance clean at
all times.
