Advantages of assisted steam cooking

The assisted steaming cooking system cooks any type of food much smoother and faster and finds its main applications for:

  • Braising and stewing
  • Cooking sauces
  • Cooking au gratin
  • Roasting
  • Low temperature cooking
  • Regenerating
  • Multi-mode cooking

Variations in temperature and humidity levels allow the wished gastronomic result to be achieved.
The addition of steam allows the use of less fat in favour of a healthier and more genuine cuisine.
It also minimizes the loss of weight and volume in food while cooking.
Assisted steam cooking is particularly suitable for cooking meat: in addition to making it very soft, it maintains it bright and makes it more succulent.
Also recommended for baking leavened and bread dough. The humidity in fact lets the dough grow and develop while cooking before creating the outer crust. The result is a lighter and more digestible mixture, recognizable by thicker

Drying after steam functions
Cooking with steam generates a lot of moisture inside the appliance. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the appliance’s operation in any way.
Each time you finish cooking:

  1. let the appliance cool down;
  2. thoroughly dry the oven cavity and the accessories used with a soft cloth or paper towels;
  3. leave the door open until the inside of the appliance has dried completely.

List of steam assisted cooking functions
Assisted-steam cooking at 40%: the steam is delivered constantly throughout the cooking time and is recommended for long cooking of meat, fish, timbales, tarts,  lasagna, etc… Particularly suitable for cooking fish and meat with a high fat content. The steam melts them while keeping the food soft, making it more digestible and  nicely browned on the surface.
Assisted steam function at 20%: the steam is delivered in small pulses. It is recommended for baking cakes and bread-type products (bread, focaccia, etc…) where the amount of steam must be minimal to allow the food to lose its moisture and cook internally. The steam facilitates leavening during the first few minutes of baking, creating a shiny, crisp surface. Steam-assisted cooking is recommended only for the first 5-10 minutes, then switch to the corresponding function without steam to complete cooking. This function is also indicated for the preparation of products breaded with egg and breadcrumbs, as it restores crunchiness to the breadcrumb coat, thus simulating the result of frying, but more digestible.

Cooking advice

  • Use a fan-assisted function to achieve consistent cooking at several levels.
  • It is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).

Advice for cooking meat

  • Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste.
  • Turn the food to brown both sides.
  • Use a meat thermometer when roasting meat, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it needs another few minutes cooking.

Advice for cooking with the Grill

  • Meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven or into the preheated oven if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.
  • When using the fan-assisted with grill function(if any), we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.
  • We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.
  • With the Grill function, we recommend that you set the temperature to the maximum value to optimize cooking.

Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and biscuits

  • Use dark metal molds: They help to absorb the heat better.
  • The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
  • To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: At the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not  stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
  • If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.

Advice for cooking with two shelves:

  • We suggest to arrange two racks (they can be requested to Authorised Service Centres).
  • To facilitate the air flow, place the molds/ casseroles in the centre of the racks and make sure that their width/diameter does not exceed 30 cm.
  • Place the racks leaving one free shelf between them.
  • Depending on the food and the increased load inside the cavity, cooking on two levels may take a few minutes longer than on a single shelf.
  • The functions indicated for cooking on two shelves are THERMALLY-VENTILATED and THERMALLY-VENTILATED BASE.

Advice for steam cooking

  • For bread-type products (bread, focaccia, etc.) and frozen desserts, where steam is  useful during the first few minutes of cooking, we recommend setting a steam  function for  the first 5-10 minutes and then switching toventilated mode to complete cooking.
  • For steam heating insert in a cold oven.

Advice for defrosting and proving

  • Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven.
  • Avoid overlapping the food.
  • To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the second level and a tray on the first level. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.
  • The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.
  • For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.

To save energy

  • Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven.
  • Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
  • Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.

Mini guide to accessories

| We recommend the use of the grill as a support surface for baking moulids/casseroles. In the absence of the baking tray grill, the grill can be used as a base for grilling with the debeaking tray placed on a shelf below to collect the juices. For multilevel baking, place two grills leaving one free shelf between them. Use the THERMALLY-VENTILATED and/or THERMALLY-VENTILATED BASE function .
---|---
| We recommend the use of the deep baking tray for cooking on one level only. Place the deep baking tray on the centre shelf when using the fan-assisted functions. When using the STATIC function , place the deep baking tray on the required shelf. Place the baking tray on the last shelf with the baking tray grill to cook in GRILL mode .
| We recommend using the baking tray grill as a base to collect the juices from the grills.

fig 66The door is locked until the temperature inside the oven cavity returns to a safe level.

During the Pyrolytic cycle the fans produce a more intense level of noise due to a greater rotation speed. This is an absolutely normal operation, intended to provide  more effective heat dispersal. At the end of the pyrolytic cycle, the fans will continue to operate for long enough to avoid overheating the walls of adjacent units and the front of the oven.
During the first Pyrolytic cycle, unpleasant odours may occur due to the normal evaporation of oily manufacturing substances. This is an absolutely normal  phenomenon which disappears after the first pyrolytic cycle.
If the pyrolytic cycle gives unsatisfactory results at minimum duration, it is recommended to set a longer time for subsequent cleaning cycles.
