Steam Function
Steam cooking uses the moist heat of steam to cook food. This is an ideal cooking method for delicate food items such as seafood, which can lose nutrients when boiled.
The oven provides 2 methods of steam cooking: Steam Bake and Sous Vide.
Take care when opening the oven door during or after steam cooking. Hot steam can cause scalding.
After any steam cooking cycle, the drying function will run automatically. It is normal to hear the steam pump running during the drying function.
Using the Steam Feeder Tank
The steam feeder tank is located over the oven cavity.
Gently push the front of the steam feeder tank to slide it out.
Remove the tank and place it on a flat surface.
Remove the tank cover or flip open the fill lid at the front of the tank cover.
Fill the tank to the max line located at the front of the tank. Use softened, filtered water, if possible. Hard water may clog the steam generator more quickly with scale buildup.
Assemble the cover or snap closed the fill lid.

Monitor the water level in the tank and refill as needed for steam cooking. Use oven mitts to avoid burns when handling the hot tank.
Carefully insert the tank into the steam feeder slot, making sure to keep the tank level while carrying it. If the tank is not kept level, water will drain out of the tubes in the back.
