Using the Crisp function
(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.

							Moisture plus 
65
Your oven is equipped with a steam
injection system for cooking with
moisture. Baking, roasting and cooking
with Moisture plus  guarantees
optimised steam and air conduction for
excellent cooking and browning results.
After selecting Moisture plus  you
need to set the temperature and the
number of bursts of steam.
The options are:
–Automatic burst of steam
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.
–1 burst of steam
2 bursts of steam
3 bursts of steam
You need to add the appropriate
amount of water for the number of
bursts of steam. You have to release
the bursts of steam yourself.
Fresh tap water is taken into the steam
system via the tube underneath the
control panel on the left.
Liquids, other than water, can cause
damage to the oven.
Only use tap water when cooking
with the "Moisture plus" function.
The water is then injected as bursts of
steam into the oven compartment
during the cooking programme.The
steam inlets are located at the rear left
corner of the roof of the oven. 
						

							Moisture plus 
66
One burst of steam takes approx. 5–
8 minutes. The number of bursts of
steam and when they are injected will
depend on the type of food being
cooked:
–Yeast mixtures will rise better if
steam is injected at the beginning of
the programme.
–Bread and rolls also 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.
–When roasting meat with a high fat
content injecting steam at the
beginning of roasting will help render
the fat.
Additional moisture 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.
Tip: See the recipe book for more
information.

burst of steam, the second burst should
be released at least 10 minutes after
starting the programme.
Manual steam
If you want to bake food such as
bread or bread rolls in a pre-heated
oven it is best to release the steam
manually. The first burst of steam
should be released as soon as you

Injecting bursts of steam
Steam can cause scalding.
Do not open the door during bursts
of steam. Also, condensation on the
sensors will cause them to have a
slow reaction time.
Automatic burst of steam

Residual water evaporation
When cooking using the addition of
moisture, the water will be equally
distributed between the number of
bursts of steam and used up as long as
the programme is not interrupted.
However, if a programme using the
addition of moisture is interrupted
before all the bursts of steam have
been injected, the water for these
unused bursts of steam will remain in
the system.
The next time Moisture Plus  or an
Automatic programme with moisture is
used Evaporate residual moisture? will
appear in the display with the options
Skip and Yes.
It is best to start the evaporation of
residual water straight away so that
only fresh water is used during a
cooking programme.
The residual water evaporation
process
The oven will heat up and the residual
water in the oven cavity will evaporate.
Depending on the amount of water this
can take up to 30 minutes.
Steam can cause scalding.
Do not open the door while the
residual water is being evaporated.
During the evaporation process
moisture will condense on the door and
the oven interior. This condensation
must be wiped off after the oven has
cooled down.
