Desserts
The Desserts setting gives best results for delicate desserts such
as crème brulee and cheesecake that are typically baked in a
water bath. This setting also works well for other custard based
dishes, souffles, and pies.
■ Preheating is not recommended.
■ Lower standard baking temperature by 25°F (15°C).
■ Allows the center of a dessert to bake without overcooking
the outer edges.
■ It is not necessary to cook with a water bath.
■ No need to shield edges of pie crust with foil.
The convection fan is on only when steam is introduced into the
cycle to distribute the moisture evenly. To minimize the creation
of a skin on the surface of foods, convection is not used at any
other time in this setting.
To Cook With Auto Steam:
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to AUTO STEAM. The display will
be blank, and the “Meat” indicator light will flash on and off.
2. Turn the SET knob to the desired Auto Steam setting and
press ENTER. The preset temperature for that setting will
appear on the display and the “F” will flash until a
temperature is selected.
3. If desired, turn the SET knob to change the temperature.
The bake range can be set between 250°F and 450°F (120°C
and 230°C).
4. Press the ENTER button. “0:00” will appear on the display.
The “Cook Time” indicator light will flash until a temperature
is selected.
5. If desired, turn the SET knob to change the cooking time in
1-minute increments.
6. Press the ENTER button to accept the time.
NOTE: If the water level is below “HALF,” 3 tones will sound
and the display will flash “FILL.” The tones will repeat every
30 seconds until the reservoir is filled. Pour water into the
water inlet until the “Full” indicator light comes on.
7. For all Auto Steam settings except “Bread” the display will
show “LoAd” on the display.
8. When you are using the “Bread” setting, once the reservoir is
filled, the oven will begin to preheat and “PrE” will appear on
the display.
When the oven temperature is reached “LoAd” will appear in
the display.
A tone will also sound prompting the user to open the oven
door and insert the item(s) to be cooked.
9. Once the oven door is closed the oven timer will begin to
count down from the set time and the display will alternate
the set temperature and the remaining time.
10. When the cooking time ends, “0:00” will appear on the
display and 4 tones will sound.
The oven will remain on. Four reminder tones will sound every
minute, and the time will count up in 1-minute increments.
The display will alternate between “0:00” and the count-up
time until you reset or turn off the oven.
11. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET position when
finished cooking.
Select Steam
Select Steam has 3 settings: High Steam, Low Steam and Keep
Warm.
Select Steam Settings
High Steam
The High Steam setting gives best results to vegetables, shellfish
and other foods that benefit from a very moist environment with
minimal browning.
By setting the temperature at 250°F (120°C), the lowest setting
allowed, you can achieve similar results to steaming on the
cooktop.
■ Use a broiler pan and grid or a low-sided baking dish for best
results.
■ Preheating is not recommended.
■ Cooks cheese-topped casseroles such as lasagna without
over-browning the cheese topping.
■ For best results, do not use the Select Steam settings for
green beans, artichokes and beets.
Low Steam
The Low Steam setting gives best results to casseroles, roasted
vegetables or other foods that you want to cook with more
browning, but keep moist.
■ Use a low-sided baking dish for best results.
■ Preheating is not recommended.
Keep Warm
The Keep Warm function allows hot cooked food to stay warm
before serving without drying them out.
For more information see the “Keep Warm” section.
