Accessories • Use the accessories that come with the appliance. Ovenware • If you use ovenware, always place it in the center of the rack. • The ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Thick-walled ovenware extends the cooking time. • Use foil to cover food that would normally be prepared in a water bath (such as when melting chocolate). Cooking times and quantities • When steaming, the cooking times are based on the size of the piece, not on the entire quantity of food. • The appliance can steam up to 14 lbs. (6.4 kg) of food. • Note the sizes of pieces listed in the tables. The cooking time is shorter for smaller pieces and longer for larger pieces. • The quality and age of the food also affect the cooking time. The values provided therefore serve only as a guideline. Distribute food evenly • Always distribute the food evenly in the ovenware. If the food is placed unevenly in the ovenware, it will cook unevenly. Delicate food • Do not layer delicate foods too high in the baking pan. It is better to use two pans in this case. Cooking an entire meal • Place the food with the longest cooking time in the appliance first and then add the remaining dishes at the appropriate time. This will ensure that all dishes are ready at the same time. • The total cooking time will be longer when cooking an entire meal, since every time the appliance door is opened, some steam escapes and the appliance has to reheat.

WARNING
DO NOT use aluminum foil or protective liners to line
any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom.
Installing these liners may result in risk of electric
shock or fire.
These tables contain a selection of dishes that can be
easily prepared in the steam convection oven. You can find
out which oven mode, accessories and cooking time are
best suited for your dish. If not specified otherwise, this
information applies to dishes placed in a cold appliance.
Accessories
Use the accessories that come with the appliance.
Ovenware
If you use ovenware, always place it in the center of
the rack.
The ovenware must be heat and steam resistant.
Thick-walled ovenware extends the cooking time.
Use foil to cover food that would normally be
prepared in a water bath (such as when melting
chocolate).
Cooking times and quantities
When steaming, the cooking times are based on the
size of the piece, not on the entire quantity of food.
The appliance can steam up to 14 lbs. (6.4 kg) of food.
Note the sizes of pieces listed in the tables. The
cooking time is shorter for smaller pieces and longer
for larger pieces.
The quality and age of the food also affect the
cooking time. The values provided therefore serve
only as a guideline.
Distribute food evenly
Always distribute the food evenly in the ovenware. If
the food is placed unevenly in the ovenware, it will
cook unevenly.
Delicate food
Do not layer delicate foods too high in the baking
pan. It is better to use two pans in this case.
Cooking an entire meal
Place the food with the longest cooking time in the
appliance first and then add the remaining dishes at
the appropriate time. This will ensure that all dishes
are ready at the same time.
The total cooking time will be longer when cooking an
entire meal, since every time the appliance door is
opened, some steam escapes and the appliance has
to reheat.
