Operating the steam oven Using seven of the eight modes available in your steam oven requires similar steps. Using a steam program is somewhat different and is described separately starting on page 72. Setting the steam oven To operate the steam oven 1. Place food in steam oven before preheat unless using slow cook or true convection modes. In slow cook or true convection modes place food in oven after steam oven has been preheated. - Food needs to be in the oven during preheat for steam modes because if the door is opened to put food inside after the preheat cycle then the steam will leave the cavity, lowering the temperature, which may cause the food to be undercooked. 2. Turn the mode ring to the desired heating mode. Steam 06:30 212°    TIMERS DRAWER ENTER  3. If temperature control is possible in the mode you choose, turn the temperature knob to the desired temperature. The desired temperature will be displayed. Mode Temperature knob range TRUE CONV Can use the full range of oven temperatures. REHEAT 210°F (100°C) - 360°F (180°C) DEFROST 110°F (45°C) only. Cannot use the knob. SLOW COOK 140°F (60°C) - 250°F (120°C) PROOF 100°F (38°C) only. Cannot use the knob. STEAM CONV 250°F (120°C) - 450°F (230°C) STEAM 212°F (100°C) only. Cannot use the knob. Changing the cook time 1. Press TIMERS. 2. Press the right ( or ), set the desired time, and press ENTER. - A beep sounds when the timer ends. Press ENTER to terminate the beep and timer. At the end of cooking After cooking with a steam-producing mode 1. Remove and empty the water tank. 2. Dry the seal of the tank lid and the slot. 3. Using the high density sponge provided with your range (or a comparable soft sponge or cloth), wipe out the oven and remove any remaining water so that the evaporator dish in the bottom of the oven is dry. IMPORTANT: • Remove food residue and spills from the oven immediately after the appliance has cooled down. • Salts are very abrasive and can cause rust spots. The steam oven cavity can rust if not properly cared for. • The water tank is NOT dishwasher safe. Operation of the cooling blower • The cooling blower activates immediately for any of the steam oven modes. • If steam oven modes that use steam are switched off, the cooling blower stays on for 10 minutes independent from the oven temperature before shutting off. • If the door is opened during a mode that uses the steam function, the cooling fan will cycle on and off five-six times in succession to purge the excess steam. Evaporator dish • Steam, steam convection, defrost, and certain settings of steam programs will have a rolling boil at the evaporator dish. This is due to the need for a higher temperature setting needed for these processes. • True convection, reheat, slow cook, and proof are gentler steaming processes and require a drier heat and less moisture content. 4. Press ENTER. 5. Press the right ( or ) and press ENTER. - The oven will begin preheating. When the set temperature has been reached, the cook timer will begin counting down. Page. 61
