Induction range with steam or combi-oven

Hi everyone! I have been searching online for an answer to this question but cannot seem to find it. I would like to purchase a new range for my kitchen and would like for it to have an induction cook top and then to be a proper steam or combination steam/convection oven below. I have found a few example of induction tops with convection ovens that have a "steam rack" built in, but am unsure if this is exactly what I am looking for. Do you all know of anyone making a true combination induction top and steam oven range? I would appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction!

Here is an example of what I mention above, is this a true steam oven or does it just add a little bit of steam to a convection oven?

The Miele induction range is plumbed to a water source. You can select 1, 2 or 3 automatic 5-8 minute bursts of steam. You can set the time for each burst to be released. The first releases when the oven reaches the set temp. You can select manual and 1, 2 or 3 bursts of steam and release them yourself. Pages 81 and following in the manual. Here.

What you are looking for does not exist. Sorry. You will need a wall oven if you want a real steam oven and induction. Far as I know, the only range with a real steam oven are 48" and 60" dual fuel Thermadors.

Did you look at miele’s ranges? I don’t think they come with steam assist in when they have only one oven, which is the only way the induction range is configured.

Thank you DrB477 for your response. Any idea why no companies are making what I'm looking for? There shouldn't be anything inherently difficult about putting steam function into a standard 30" range, but as you said, I've only really found them in wall units.

Zalco I did look at the Miele ranges and came to the same conclusion you did. It seems they only do the steam assist on double wall ovens. Any idea why that's the case? Thanks for your response!

That is a huge help Dan1888 thank you very much!! I ended up trying to call Miele to ask them about their induction range and spent over 1 hour on hold only to be hung up on. This manual and your explanation are a god send!

Just to be aware, the steam assist isn't the same thing as a real steam oven.

The Miele XXL Combi/Steam oven allows you to set the steam % from 0-100% and break the cooking time(up to 6, 10 or 12 hours) into segments with or without steam. If what you're cooking gives off moisture and you set the % low the steam generator may not need to come on. . . . . .Franklins BBG transfers their butcher paper wrapped brisket into commercial Combi/Steam ovens set at 140* at 2am to begin serving at 11am and finishing around 2pm. . . . . The steam assist in the range is limited but useful for many ordinary reheating, baking and roasting tasks.

Sharp has a steam convection oven using a refillable reservoir that costs around 2300. Heres the manual. And here's the unit in a 30" frame. It's 1.1 cu. ft.

Any new induction ranges with steam ovens in the last 4 years? If not I would assume an induction cooktop with the steam wall oven underneath would work, no?

@Paul F.: "If not I would assume an induction cooktop with the steam wall oven underneath would work, no?"

You can install the LG WSEP4727F and LG Studio WSES4728F which have steam modes under a cooktop. Read installation instructions.
