Smeg has launched the SC45V2 compact steam oven, featuring a frameless, flat-plane of fingerprint resistant stainless steel and glass with backlit polycarbonate controls.
It features six functions - manual steam cooking, meat steaming, fish steaming, vegetable steaming, reheating and/or sterilising mode and defrost.
The 1.4L water reservoir is a flat, horizontal container that slides into the top of the oven cavity while the electronic thermostat ensures oven temperatures are accurate and consistent.
An ECO program also enables the steam oven to reduce its total electricity consumption from 3.4 kW to 2 kW while maintaining a consistent steaming temperature of 100 degrees celsius.
The SC45V2 has a 35L capacity oven, three cooking shelf levels and a double-glazed removable door. It also has an electronic timer with end-of-cooking alarm, cooling fan, 24 hour delay start timer, water level warning light, descaling function and child lock.
