							Activating moisture reduction
It is a good idea to use this function
when cooking items which are moist on
the inside but which should be crispy
on the outside, e.g. frozen chips,
croquettes or pork with crackling.
It is also suitable for deep filled fresh
fruit cakes, such as plum or apple
cake.
You can activate Moisture reduction
with any function.
For best results, activate it at the
beginning of the cooking
programme.
Place the food in the oven.
Select the required function and set
the temperature.
Touch the OK sensor.
The list of options will show in the
display.

Use theorsensor to select
Moist.reduction, and confirm with
the OK sensor.

Use theorsensor to select On,
and confirm with the OK sensor.

							The Moisture plus function uses a
steam injection system.
Water is taken into the steam injection
system via the tube underneath the
control panel on the left. The water is
then injected as bursts of steam into the
oven compartment during the cooking
process.
The steam inlets are located at the rear
left corner of the roof of the oven.
Only use water with this function.
Other liquids will damage the
appliance.
Baking, roasting or cooking with
Moisture plus uses just the right amount
of steam and optimum air flow for very
even cooking and baking results:
delicious fresh bread with a glossy
crust; rolls and croissants as good as
the baker makes; tender, succulent
meat with a well browned finish;
perfectly finished oven bakes; delicious
soufflés and much more.
Please refer to the Moisture plus
booklet supplied with your oven for
further information and a selection of
recipes.
Moisture plus is not suitable for
mixtures which already contain a lot of
moisture, such as choux pastry and
meringues, as the addition of steam
does not allow them to dry out
sufficiently.
Moisture plus is activated with
Automatic programmes or you can
select the special Moisture plus
function.
The steam injection system should
be rinsed through before you use an
Automatic programme with Moisture
plus or the Moisture plus function for
the first time.
To do this, run the oven using
Moisture plus - 160 °C - Automatic
burst of steam for about 30 minutes.
Automatic programmes
Automatic programmes with Moisture
plus set the optimium temperature, the
degree of moisture and also the
duration automatically.
At the beginning of the programme you
will be prompted to allow a specified
amount of water to be drawn into the
oven.
The amount of water specified will be
more than is actually needed leaving a
small amount in the container.
The programme will control how many
bursts of steam are required and at
what point they are injected.
Moisture plus
34 
						

							Moisture plus
To use the Moisture plus function, a
temperature of at least 130 °C and the
number of bursts of steam need to be
entered.
You can also enter the cooking duration
or you can use the food probe.
Number of bursts of steam and when
they are injected
The number of bursts of steam and
when they are injected will depend on
the type of food being cooked:
–Dough mixtureswill rise better if
steam is injected at the beginning of
the programme.
–Bread and rollsalso rise better if
exposed to steam at the start.
Injecting a burst of steam at the end
of the programme will give the bread
and rolls a glistening crust.
– Whenroasting meat with a high fat
contentinjecting steam at the
beginning of roasting will draw out
the fat.
Please refer to the sample recipes in
the Moisture plus booklet.After selecting Moisture plus you need
to set the number of bursts of steam.
The options are:
Automatic
This requires enough water for one
burst of steam. The burst of steam
will be injected into the oven
automatically after the heating-up
phase.
Steam is injected for about 5
minutes.
1 burst of steam
2 bursts of steam
3 bursts of steam
The quantity of water required will
depend on the number of bursts of
steam.
The earliest point at which steam can
be injected is after the heating-up
phase has been completed.
One burst of steam takes approx.
5 minutes to be injected into the
oven.
It is a good idea to set the minute
minder to remind you when to inject
the bursts of steam required.
It is quite normal for condensation to
form on the inside of the door during
steam injection. This will dissipate
during the course of the cooking
programme.

water specified under the tube as
shown. Start the water intake process
with OK.The amount of water required will be
drawn up into the oven. The segment
display shows how the process is
progressing.
The quantity of water specified is higher
than actually required, leaving a small
amount in the container.
When you close the oven door you will
hear the noise of the pump briefly.
–Automatic burst of steam
Once the heating-up phase has been
completed, the automatic burst of
steam is injected and the water will
vaporise in the oven compartment.
Once the steam has been injected
successfully, the programme will
continue to the end.
– Injecting bursts of steam manually

the display after the heating phase,
steam can be injected at the intervals
given in the recipe.

							Evaporate residual moisture
If there is still water in the steam
injection system at the end of a
programme or if the programme is
cancelled, you will be prompted to
evaporate the residual moisture.
When you turn the function selector to
0, the instruction to select Moisture
plus in order to evaporate the residual
moisture appears in the display.
Confirm this with OK.
This message will appear every time
the function selector is turned to 0
after a cooking programme until the
evaporation process is run.
The message Evaporate residual
moisture also appears when
– selecting Moisture plus, or
– selecting an automatic programme
that uses Moisture plus.
You have the option to start to
evaporate the residual moisture or to
cancel this.
It is best to start the evaporation
process straight away so that only
fresh water can be used during the
next cooking programme.The residual moisture evaporation
process
When the residual moisture is
evaporated, the oven heats to approx.
150 °C, and the residual water
evaporates inside the oven.
This can take up to 30 minutes,
depending on the amount of water in
the system.
Steam will condense on the door
and the oven cavity, and the
moisture will then need to be wiped
off after the oven has cooled down.
To start the residual moisture
evaporation process
Select Moisture plus.
Confirm the prompt to Evaporate
residual moisture by touching the
OK sensor.
The evaporation of the residual
moisture will start straight away.
The display will show the approximate
time remaining.
After the residual moisture has
evaporated, the Moisture plus option
will show in the display.

Turn the function selector to 0.

							To cancel the residual moisture
evaporation process
If you select Moisture plus or one of
the Automatic programmes with
Moisture plus, the prompt to evaporate
residual moisture will appear.
Touch theoderfor at least 3
seconds.
The evaporation process will be
cancelled.
The cooking programme can now be
started.
Do not cancel the prompt for
residual moisture evaporation too
often, as this might cause the steam
unit to overflow when taking in more
water.
Descaling
The oven will need to be descaled
depending on the number of cooking
programmes using Moisture plus which
have been run and the amount of water
taken into the oven for these. A
message to tell you to descale the
appliance will appear in the display.
The steam injection system should be
descaled regularly. How often this
needs to be done will depend on the
water hardness level in your area.
You can start the descaling process at
any time by selecting the Moisture plus
function and then Descale.
You cannot use the oven until you have
carried out the descaling process.
See Cleaning and care for more
information about descaling.
