Steam Cooking Modes
Steam cooking has numerous benefits which include
retaining the nutritional value of food, along with retaining
taste, structure, and color.
IMPORTANT: Before using any steam functions the
water reservoir must be filled. Only water should be
used in the reservoir. If the message CHECK WATER
CONTAINER appears on the display while cooking, open
the door and, avoiding hot steam that will be released,
remove the reservoir. Once the door is closed the oven

NOTES:
Do NOT place cookware directly on the oven bottom.
Cookware included with the oven is designed for use in
Steam Cook and Steam Reheat modes. Temperatures
above 300°F can damage the cookware.
Be careful when opening the oven door after a steam
mode. Steam will be emitted from the cavity. The oven
cavity is sealed to keep steam inside during cooking.
Water Discharge After Steaming
When the oven is turned off after any steam usage, there
is a requirement to discharge the water in the steam
system. This is to help keep the internal tubing clean
and free from odors. Follow the prompts on the screen
for completing the discharge cycle. Open the door. Pull
out the water reservoir to the arrow symbol on the side
of the tank and press the select pad. The pumps will run
for 2-3 minutes, pumping water out of the steam system
and back into the reservoir. Leave the reservoir in place
until notified that the discharge cycle is complete. Empty
the reservoir. When the oven has cooled down, dry the
cavity and door with a clean towel.
STEAM COOK
This mode allows you to use steam as the main heat
source for cooking your food. This function is useful for
a steam rack in a pot on a cooktop. This mode can be
adjusted between 105°F and 210°F.
Larger amounts of food can be cooked in two layers
during STEAM COOK mode by placing the oven rack in
position 2 and using the table rack to support either the
solid pan or a number of optional small pans elevated
from the oven bottom. NEVER PLACE COOKWARE
DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN BOTTOM. This configuration
works in steam cook because of the heat from the steam
directly contacting the food being cooked. It is NOT
recommended for any other modes as they rely on heat
from the elements in addition to the steam.
