General notes

Safety notches

The universal tray, combi rack and container rack have non-tip safety notches which prevent them being pulled right out when they only need to be partially pulled out. They need to be lifted in order to remove them from the oven.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers. However, please note the following:

–The container must be suitable for using in an oven and must be steam resistant. With plastic containers please check with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use in a combi steam oven.

–Containers made from silicone should only be used with the Fan plus, Conventional heat, Cake plus, Top heat and Bottom heat functions as they are not steam resistant.

–Thick walled containers are not very suitable for using with steam. The thick walls do not conduct heat well and as a result cooking durations will be considerably longer than those given in the charts.

–Place the cooking containers on the rack or in a cooking container, not on the oven floor.

–Ensure that there is a gap of at least 3 cm between the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient of steam to reach the food.

Steam cooking

The advantages of cooking with steam

Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is not immersed in water.

Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food retains its fresh, orginal colour.
