BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Before the first use, remove all components, including any transport equipment, from the
oven. Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not
use any abrasive cleaners.
Before using the oven the first time, heat it without any food, in the system "upper
and bottom heater", at the temperature of 200 °C for approximately one hour. The
characteristic smell of a "new appliance" will be emitted. Ventilate the room thoroughly
during the first use.
STEAM COOKING
Healthy and natural, steam cooking preserves the full flavour of foods. This cooking
method releases no odours.
Following are the advantages of steam cooking:
Cooking (braising, roasting) starts before the temperature inside the oven reaches 100 °C.
Slow cooking (braising, roasting) is also possible at lower temperatures.
It is healthy: vitamins and minerals are well preserved because only a small share of them
is dissolved in the condensation water that touches the food.
There is no need to add any fat during the cooking process. The steam maintains the taste
of food. It does not add odours, nor the taste of the grill or the pan. Furthermore, it takes
nothing away because the food is not diluted in the water.
Steam does not spread the flavour or smell; therefore, meat or fish can be cooked
together with vegetables.
Steam is also suitable for blanching, defrosting and reheating or keeping the food warm.
