TIPS AND HINTS

General

Always make sure water reservoir is full before using any of the steam functions. Remove reservoir by lifting vertically, using the integrated handle. Invert and remove reservoir cap and fill. Replace cap and return reservoir so that it is properly seated in its original position.

Always remember to empty drip tray after each use. Also make sure it is in place before cooking.

For convenience, we recommend removing the crumb tray when using any of the steam functions, although it is not required.

Natural juices tend to accumulate in the baking pan when cooking with steam functions. Should the baking pan be full of liquid after cooking, allow to cool and then carefully remove.

Toast

Use provided crumb tray when making toast.

Toast should be centered on the oven rack for most even results.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake is best used for most baked goods like cakes, cookies and pastries.

Rotating baking pan halfway through cooking time is recommended for even baking.

Bake Steam

The combination of bake and steam means crispy yet juicy results every time in less time. The Bake Steam function also provides even, moist heat that is a benefit for many types of foods, from perfect custards to effortless braised dishes.

For an exceptional roast chicken we recommend using high heat, 450°F, for best results. Little to no oil is necessary when roasting with steam.

Cooking with the bake steam function may shorten conventional roasting/
