The 'Crousty Vap' oven
Your oven is equipped with a water tank, enabling steam to be diffused during cooking. The steam
makes meats more succulent at the same time as leaving it browned and crispy on the surface.
It is quite normal for steam to escape from your oven during cooking. This is not dangerous.
To fill the tank, use the beaker supplied: fill it and pour the water slowly down the filler tube.
The quantity of water must not exceed 300 ml. We advise that any water remaining in the diffuser
tank should be emptied after every use.
If you wish to cook without steam, check that there is no water left in the tank.
