Steam Cooking Functions

1 Important: The Steam functions must always be used in conjunction
with the Clock functions COOK TIME Ì or END Í (see Chapter
"Clock functions: COOK TIME/END“).
1 Important: Always use water only!
A dial tone is sounded when the water has been used up.
When more water is added, the dial tone goes off again.
3 To prevent limescale forming, use softened water only, for example,
through a water filtering appliance.
3 Due to the automatic steam dispersal period of about 5 minutes at the
end of cooking time, and the warm-up period of around 2 minutes, set-
tings under 10 minutes have little effect.
During steam dispersal, the oven door can mist up slightly.
Steam will also escape when the door is opened.
The slight misting on the control panel quickly evaporates.
Vigorous steam
1. The water (about 700 ml) is not
poured directly into the steam gen-
erator, but into the drawer in the
control panel.
The water supply lasts for around
30 minutes.
2. Switch the oven on with the ON H
button.
3. Using the OVEN FUNCTION
button Ë, select the
Vigorous Steam ¾
function.
