Children must not come near the appliance. • Never touch the heating elements during use. [. . . ] The steam function is also ideal for preparing large quantities for later use. • Soups: Thicker soups are also easy and quick to prepare. Place the soup in a metal tray, cover with a lid or aluminium foil and steam cook at 100° C for the same time you would cook it in a microwave oven. Mix midway through cooking for a creamier consistency. Use • Reheating: using the steam cooking function will not dry foods out and gives a moister result. A previously prepared home-cooked meal, covered with aluminium foil, will take around 10-12 minutes to reheat. Ready meals will require approximately double the time indicated on the package. • Defrosting: it is possible to use the steam cooking function to defrost foods. Times vary, but defrosting with the steam cooking function takes around half the time necessary for covered foods left to defrost at room temperature. • Peeling peppers and tomatoes: this otherwise time-consuming operation is very simple when you use the steam cooking function. Use a knife to cut a small cross in the skin of the tomato, and steam cook for 1 minute. Peppers have tougher skin, and may require up to 4 minutes to soften them sufficiently for peeling. • Chocolate: this can be melted using the steam cooking function. Place the chocolate in a metal tray, cover with aluminium foil and steam cook for 1 minute. Unlike other methods, chocolate is unlikely to burn in the steam oven. • Hot towels: ideal for facial treatments, a close shave or for use after a meal, these are easy to prepare using the steam cooking function. Moisten a towel with water, roll it up and steam it for 1 minute. 3. 5 Cooking advice General advice • 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). • Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. • The first few times you use the appliance, until acquiring sufficient confidence and knowledge of the required cooking times, we suggest setting slightly longer cooking times and testing the food quickly a little before cooking ends. In this manner, if the food is not yet ready you will be able to continue cooking without the need to add more water to the tank thanks to the remaining time. If, however, the food is already cooked, it will be possible to immediately stop cooking and drain the residual water from the tank. Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and biscuits • Use dark metal moulds: They help to absorb the heat better. 22 Use • Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven. • To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the second level and a tray on the first level. [. . . ] The appliance does not heat up: • Check whether it has been set in “showroom” mode (for further details see “Secondary menu”). The controls do not respond: • Check whether it has been set in “child lock” mode (for further details see “Secondary menu”). If the problem has not been resolved or in the case of other types of fault, contact your local technical support centre. If other ERRx error messages are indicated: note down the error message, function and temperature set and contact your local technical support centre. 39 EN What to do if. . .
