lect. Unless otherwise stated, the information given as-
sumes that the food will be placed in the appliance
when the appliance is cold.
Accessories
Use the accessories provided.
When cooking food in the perforated steaming tray, al-
ways insert the unperforated steaming tray below it.
The unperforated steaming tray will catch any liquid
that drips down.
Cookware
When using cookware, always place it in the middle of
the perforated steaming tray.
Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant. Food will
take longer to cook if thick-sided cookware is used.
When heating food in a bain marie (e.g. when melting
chocolate), cover it with foil.
Cooking time and quantity
When steaming food, cooking times depend on the
size of the individual pieces and not on the total quant-
ity. The appliance can steam up to 2 kg of food at a
time.
Use the individual piece sizes specified in the tables.
Larger pieces will take longer to cook and smaller ones
will cook more quickly. Cooking time is also influenced
by the quality and age of the food. The values quoted
can therefore only serve as a guideline.
Distributing food evenly
Always distribute the food evenly in the cookware. It will
not cook evenly if the food is piled up to varying
heights.
Food that is easily crushed
When placing delicate food that is easily crushed in the
steaming tray, do not pile the individual pieces too
high. It is better to use two steaming trays instead.
Cooking whole menus
With Steam functions, you can cook whole menus at
once without the risk of flavours being transferred from
one dish to another.
Place the food with the longest cooking time into the
cooking compartment first. Add the rest of the food at
the appropriate times. This means that all the food will
be ready at the same time.
Cooking whole menus at once extends the total cook-
ing time. This is because a little steam escapes when
you open the appliance door and the cooking compart-
ment must heat up again.
Condensation
Condensation can occur in the cooking compartment
and on the appliance door when cooking. Condensa-
tion is normal and does not adversely affect appliance
operation. Wipe away the condensation after cooking.
15.3 Vegetables
Place the vegetables into the perforated steaming tray and insert at position 2. Insert the unperforated steaming tray
underneath at position 1. The unperforated steaming tray will catch any liquid that drips down.
