Steam Function
Steam cooking uses the moist heat of steam to cook
food. This is an ideal cooking method for delicate
food items such as seafood, which can lose nutrients
when boiled.
The oven provides 3 methods of steam cooking:
Gourmet Steam, SousVide and Steam Combi.
CAUTION
• Take care when opening the oven door during
or after steam cooking. Hot steam can cause
scalding.
• After any steam cooking cycle, the drying
function will run automatically. It is normal to
hear the steam pump running during the drying
function.
Using the Steam Feeder Tank
The steam feeder tank is located over the oven cavity.
1
Gently push the front of the steam feeder tank to
slide it out.
2
Remove the tank and place it on a flat surface.
3
Remove the tank cover or flip open the fill lid at
the front of the tank cover.

Fill the tank to the max line located at the front of
the tank. Use softened, filtered water, if possible.
Hard water may clog the steam generator more
quickly with scale buildup.
