True Fan Cooking Plus is also referred to as SteamBake.

True Fan Cooking Plus/ Steam Bake is perfect for achieving great bakes, whether you’re baking bread or making Yorkshire puddings or delicious cakes. Bread will be fluffy on the inside and have a crispy and golden crust on the outside while cakes will be moist and tasty. By adding the right amount of steam at the beginning of the baking process, the colour is made more golden and the crust crispier.

Step 1. Pour 250ml of water into the reservoir at the oven cavity's bottom.

Step 3. Set the required temperature and leave for 10 minutes before putting the food in the oven.
