What is Steamify® and why should you use it?
Most people aren’t aware of the multiple benefits steam cooking has to offer. Cooking with steam preserves nutrients, vitamins, colours and flavours. Your meals will contain less fat as you use less oil and juices are effortlessly retained. When you cook with steam, you can look forward to healthier and more succulent meals.
Steamify® is a function that makes steam cooking easier than you can imagine. Thanks to Steamify® there is no need to change the way you cook if you’re used to cooking with hot air, or top-and-bottom heat. You don’t need to figure out how and when to add steam, your oven adds the right amount of steam at the right time for you. Steamify® can replace almost all your usual cooking habits and give you tastier meals with minimal effort.
How to use Steamify®
Simply select the Steamify® function and set the temperature with the slider on the display. This should be the temperature you normally use when cooking with hot air, or as indicated in your recipe. Based on the temperature, the oven automatically sets the steam level for you.
1. Press the Steamify® icon on the display 
2. Set the temperature by clicking on the temperature on the display. Slide it to the right temperature
3. Press START to begin cooking
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to fill the water tank if necessary
5. Press OK
Steamify® will even recommend temperature based on what results you want to achieve. As you move the temperature slider the oven will indicate expected results at different temperatures:
- 50-100°C – Steam for steaming
- 105-130°C – Steam for stewing
- 135-150°C – Steam for gentle crisping
- 155-230°C – Steam for baking and roasting
Tips and tricks
