Light, healthy cooking

Steam preserves the taste and nutritional properties of food so that each dish remains tender and tasty even with a more modest use of fats and seasoning. You can create light, delicious recipes, that are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside every time you want. Steam provides the right level of moisture during cooking. This facilitates the leavening of baked items and preserves the juiciness and the volume of foods. Bread will be crispier and crunchier, while fish and meat will be more tender and golden.

Functions

The Active Steam feature provides the ideal level of moisture and hot air in the 3 programs specifically designed for cooking meat, bread and fish. In addition, with the screen-printed key to the programs on the door, you can always find out the amount of water required, the level where to place the baking pan/grill and the right cooking temperature and times.But it is not just "steam" you also have 7 other traditional cooking functions and the pyrolytic cleaning mode, which allows you to burn the residues in the oven, reducing them to ashes.
