Error code

The electronic programmer constantly carries

out diagnostic tests on the system. If some of the

parameters are not correct, such as, for example,

if the oven is used incorrectly, the control unit

terminates all functions currently in use and the

display shows the corresponding error code

(letter “F” followed by a number - Fig. 21).

How to prepare the oven for steam

cooking

For steam cooking it is essential to

fill the water tank.

To fill it, pull out the water loading draw (

follow the

instructions on page 17)

and pour water into the

tank with a graduated jug (Fig. 25) until the

“tank full” light comes on. Remember that the water

tank can be refilled with little more than 800 cc of

water.

Then replace the cap and close the drawer. At this

point the oven is ready for steam cooking.

If you pour too much water into the

tank, a safety outlet will pour it back

into the bottom of the oven.

Dry this excess water with a sponge or

cloth (Fig. 26).

Fig. 25

Fig. 26

Tank full light

Indicates that the oven is ready for steam cooking.

Tank empty light

Indicates that the tank is empty and that therefore

steam cooking cannot be done.

Advice and suggestions for steam

cooking

• Be sure not to cover the pots with lids, this would

make it impossible for the steam to come into

contact with the food.

• You can cook your dishes directly on the grill

(Fig. 28). In this case remember to pour a little

water into the drip-tray and to slide it into

position beneath the grill.

The drip-tray will collect the fats melted during

cooking, and the water prevents the fats from

burning and producing unpleasant odours or

smoke.

• If you wish to open the door to check the

cooking process, remember to disconnect

the STEAM function . After you have checked

the food, close the door and select the steam

cooking function once more.

For steam cooking, proceed as follows:

1. Before every steam cooking, fill the tank as

shown on page 17. The amount of 800 cc

(0,8 lt) of water is enough for about 40/45 of

cooking time.

2. Then prepare the food in pots suitable to be

used in the oven, position them on the grill

(Fig. 27) at the height suggested in the

cooking tables. The 2° level from the bottom

usually gives the best results.

3. Select the “steam” function .

4. Select a temperature between 130°C and

230°C. Remember that above 230°C

steam cooking does not give very good

results.

5. Empty the tank after every steam

cooking (follow the procedure described

Fig. 27

)

How to use steam cooking

The possible formation of condensate on

the oven door glass, walls and bottom

does not affect oven operation.

We recommend you to wipe away

condensation after each use of the oven.

Take care when opening the oven

door as the steam will immediately

pour out.

Fig. 28

on page 38).

Steam starts to develop when the

oven reaches the set temperature.

20

The accessories for steam cooking (available for

purchase in a separate kit) offer the opportunity to

expand the field of steam cooking, allowing you, for

example, to experiment with specific ways of cooking

vegetables, fish, etc.

The accessories include:

- a dietary baking-pan consisting of two half-shells

made out of special glass with a recess for the

passage of a steam injector (Fig.29);

- a small grill to place inside the dietary baking pan

to keep the food raised;

- 2 injectors for steam cooking;

- a special steam cooking probe with two different

injectors to be used as shown in figures 29 and

30, by inserting them in the probe.

Fig. 29

Accessories for steam cooking

Steam cooking in the dietary baking dish is

particularly suited for vegetables: it heightens the

flavours without watering them down and maintains

the nutrient properties of the foods intact.

Direct vapour cooking (Fig. 30) which uses the

perforated injector is ideal for chickens and turkeys.

The flesh is cooked on the inside thanks to the

vapour while on the outside it browns through

traditional cooking, and ends up being delicate, soft

and very tasty. The holes in the injector must not

be blocked; this is why the injector must always be

placed inside the empty part of the chicken and

turkey, as shown in Fig. 30.

Fig. 30

Fit the end of the probe with the metal

element into the steam outlet. Insert the

two injectors into the other end of the

probe.
