• Steam Cooking

Bake
Ideal for slow-baked cakes and casseroles. This traditional static heat will ensure food remains moist when cooked for longer periods of time.

Convection Bake
The elements combined with the fan aim to provide more uniform heat, a similar method to conventional cooking, so pre-heat is required. Most suitable for items requiring slow cooking methods.

Turbo
Facilitates the cooking of large joints due to the heat coming from all three elements. Similar to rotisserie cooking, the meat is sealed, and juices are held within the joint of the meat. The results are both tender and juicy.

Broiler
For rapid cooking and browning of foods. Best results can be obtained by using the top shelf for small items, the lower shelves for larger ones, such as chops or sausages. For a half grill, heat is generated only at the centre of the element, so it is ideal for smaller quantities.

Convection Broil
The fan reduces the fierce heat from the broiler, providing an excellent method of grilling various foods, chops, steaks, sausages, etc., giving even browning and heat distribution, without drying out the food. The top two levels are recommended for use, and the lower part of the oven can be used to keep items warm at the same time, an excellent facility when cooking a grilled breakfast.

Circular Element with Steam
The combination of the Circulaire element with steam allows food to be effectively cooked in the most natural way, leaving all the food's properties, flavour and aroma intact.

Defrost
The circulation of air at room temperature enables quicker thawing of frozen food (without the use of any heat). Ideal for use before cooking ready-made dishes, or cream-filled products, etc.

ECO
The combination of the broiler, fan and lower element is particularly suitable for cooking small quantities of food.

Lower Heating Element Only
Ideal for foods that require extra base temperature without browning, e.g. pastry dishes, pizza. Also suitable for slow cooking of stews and casseroles. For Gas oven: Bake: traditional convection cooking.

Convection
This combination completes cooking more quickly of foods that are ready on the surface, but require more cooking inside, without further browning. For Gas Oven: Convection with lower elements: The fan is added to the gas burner to distribute the heat quickly and evenly throughout the oven cavity, avoiding flavour transfer when cooking a number of different dishes at the same time.

Reheat
This function can reheat precooked dishes without becoming dry or hard.

Bread Proving
Air at 104°F provides the perfect environment for proving yeast-type dough mixes. Simply select the function and place the dough in the oven for the allotted time.

Descaling FunctionIt 
is essential to remove excess deposits of limestone in the tank and allow the proper operation of the steam oven. The need to perform this operation is signalled by the oven itself.

Cons

• Smaller Oven Capacity:
  At ~1.41 cu. ft., the interior is compact, which may be limiting for large roasts or multiple dishes at once — a typical compromise for built-in steam ovens.
• No Energy Star Rating:
  Like many built-in combi ovens, this model isn’t Energy Star certified, so it may be less efficient than some modern standalone ovens.
• Halogen Lighting Instead of LED:
  Halogen lighting works well but uses more energy and generates more heat compared with LED lighting.
• No Smart Connectivity:
  This unit does not include Wi-Fi or smart app controls, so remote monitoring and operation aren’t available — something some competing models offer.
• Professional Installation Recommended:
  Built-in ovens typically require precise cabinet cut-outs and careful installation, which may add to the total setup cost. (General built-in requirement)
