Pin down when each of the three steam steps ends
Put a bowl of water in, start something else while it stands, and the right moment to wipe quietly passes. Enter how many minutes you want for heating, standing and wiping along with a start time, and the page returns the end of each step down to the second plus a total in minutes and seconds. It tells you exactly what to set a timer to.
How the numbers are worked out
Minutes are converted to seconds and added to the start time in turn, so a decimal such as 1.5 is carried through as a precise ninety seconds. Times use a 24-hour clock, with the following day noted when the plan rolls over. No officially recommended heating time by capacity is offered here: it varies with the output rating, the cavity size and the amount of water, so no single figure would hold. As of October 2026, use the time in your manual or the one that has worked for you.
Detergents, how much water to use and an oven's self-clean cycle are not covered here. For heating conditions and precautions, follow the product manual and the manufacturer's instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
No officially recommended heating time by capacity is offered here, because it depends on the output rating, the cavity size and how much water you put in. Use the steam-cleaning time in your manual if it gives one, otherwise the time that worked for you.
Yes. A value such as 1.5 is converted to seconds internally, and the total is reported in minutes and seconds. Step end times are shown as hours, minutes and seconds.
One step is enough. Anything left at 0 is excluded and listed in the results, and the finish time is rebuilt from the remaining steps.
