Causes of damage

General information

Caution!

■ Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature of over 50 °C has been set. This will cause heat to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
■ Aluminium foil: Aluminium foil in the cooking compartment must not come into contact with the door glass. This could cause permanent discolouration of the door glass.
■ Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the enamel.
■ Moisture in the cooking compartment: Over an extended period of time, moisture in the cooking compartment may lead to corrosion. Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use. Do not keep moist food in the closed cooking compartment for extended periods of time. Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
■ Cooling with the appliance door open: Following operation at high temperatures, only allow the cooking compartment to cool down with the door closed. Do not trap anything in the appliance door. Even if the door is only left open a crack, the front of nearby furniture may become damaged over time. Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced whilst the oven was operating.
■ Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
■ Extremely dirty seal: If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the seal clean.
■ Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
- Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model, accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.
- Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance and could break.

Steam

Caution!

■ Baking tins: Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone baking tins are not suitable for combined operation with steam.
■ Ovenware with areas of rust: Do not use any ovenware which displays areas of rust. Even the smallest spots of rust can lead to corrosion in the cooking compartment.
■ Dripping liquids: When steaming with a perforated cooking container, always insert the baking tray, the universal pan or the solid cooking container underneath. Dripping liquid is caught.
■ Hot water in the water tank: Hot water can damage the pump. Only fill the water tank with cold water.
■ Enamel damage: Do not start any operations when there is water on the cooking compartment floor. Before operation, wipe away the water from the cooking compartment floor.
■ Descaling solution: Do not allow any descaling solution to come into contact with the control panel or other surfaces on the appliance. This damages the surfaces. If this does happen, remove the descaling solution immediately with water.
■ Cleaning the water tank: Do not clean the water tank in the dishwasher. Otherwise, the water tank will be damaged. Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and standard washing-up liquid.

If you open the appliance door during an operation, the operation is paused. The operation continues to run when you close the door.

Note: For some types of heating, the operation continues to run even when the appliance door is open.

Interior lighting

If you open the appliance door, the interior lighting switches on. If the door remains open for longer than around 15 minutes, the lighting switches off again.

For most operating modes, the interior lighting switches on as soon as the operation is started. When the operation has finished, the lighting switches off.

Note: You can set the interior lighting not to come on during the operation in the basic settings. → "Basic settings" on page 24

Cooling fan

The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air escapes above the door.

Caution!

Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the appliance may overheat.

So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly after the operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.

Before using for the first time

Before you can use your new appliance, you must make some settings. You must also clean the cooking compartment and accessories.

Before using for the first time

Before using the appliance for the first time, ask your water supplier about the hardness of your tap water.

To ensure that the appliance can reliably remind you to descale it when required, you must set your water hardness range correctly.

Caution!

■ The appliance may become damaged due to the use of unsuitable liquids.
Do not use distilled water, highly chlorinated tap water (>40 mg/l) or other liquids.
Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or non-carbonated mineral water.
■ Malfunctions may occur when using filtered or demineralised water.
The appliance may request that you top up the water tank even though it may be full, or operation with steam is cancelled after approx. two minutes.
If required, mix filtered or demineralised water with the bottled non-carbonated mineral water with a ratio of one to one.

Notes

■ Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic and metal.
■ Shadows on the door panels, which look like streaks, are caused by reflections made by the interior lighting.
■ Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can cause some slight colour variation. This is normal and does not affect operation. The edges of thin trays cannot be completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be rough. This does not impair the anti-corrosion protection.

Surfaces in the cooking compartment

The back wall, ceiling and side parts in the cooking compartment are self-cleaning. You can tell this from the rough surface.

The cooking compartment floor is enamelled and has smooth surfaces.

Cleaning enamel surfaces

Clean the smooth enamel surfaces with a dish cloth and hot soapy water or a vinegar solution. Then dry them with a soft cloth.

Soften baked-on food remnants with a damp cloth and soapy water. Use stainless steel wire wool or oven cleaner to remove stubborn dirt.

Caution!

Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment when it is still warm. This may damage the enamel. Remove all food remnants from the cooking compartment and the appliance door before you next heat up the appliance.

Leave the cooking compartment open to dry after cleaning it.

Tip: It is best to use the cleaning aid. → "Cleaning function" on page 32

Note: Food residues can cause white deposits to form. These are harmless and do not affect how the appliance works. You can remove these residues using lemon juice if required.

Cleaning self-cleaning surfaces

The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous, matte ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and dispels splashes from baking and roasting while the appliance is in operation.

If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean themselves sufficiently and dark stains appear, they can be cleaned using the cleaning function. To do this, refer to the information in the relevant section. → "Cleaning function" on page 32

Caution!

Do not use oven cleaner on self-cleaning surfaces. This will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto these surfaces, dab it off immediately using water and a sponge cloth. Do not rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning aids.

Keeping the appliance clean

Always keep the appliance clean and remove dirt immediately so that stubborn deposits of dirt do not build up.

Warning – Risk of fire!

Loose food remnants, fat and meat juices may catch fire. Before using the appliance, remove the worst of the food remnants from the cooking compartment, heating elements and accessories.

Tips

■ Clean the cooking compartment after each use. This will ensure that dirt cannot be baked on.
■ Always remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately.
■ Use the universal pan for baking very moist cakes.
■ Use suitable ovenware for roasting, e.g. a roasting dish.

Cleaning function

Your appliance is equipped with EcoClean, the floor cleaning aid and a descaling function. The self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment are cleaned with the "EcoClean" cleaning function. Use the floor cleaning aid for intermediate cleaning of the cooking compartment floor. Dirt is softened beforehand using the floor cleaning aid. It can then be removed more easily. You can use the descaling function to remove limescale from the evaporator.

EcoClean

The self-cleaning surfaces in the cooking compartment are cleaned with the "EcoClean" operating mode.

The self-cleaning surfaces (back panel, ceiling panel and side panels) are coated with a porous, matt ceramic material. This coating absorbs and breaks down splashes from baking, roasting and grilling while the oven is in operation. If the surfaces no longer clean themselves adequately and dark patches appear, the surfaces can be cleaned by the cleaning function.

Note: The appliance records the number of times it is used. The appliance indicates when it has reached a point in time after which cleaning is recommended. The recommendation is displayed until the cleaning function has finished.

If you do not act on this recommendation, the self-cleaning surfaces may become damaged. If your appliance is already prematurely very dirty or if you notice dark patches on the back panel, do not wait until your appliance recommends cleaning to do so. This is because the more often the appliance is cleaned, the longer the self-cleaning surfaces will retain their cleaning capability. You can clean your appliance at any time as required using the cleaning function.

Prior to initiating the cleaning function

Remove shelves, rails, accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment.

Cleaning the cooking compartment floor and the inside of the appliance door

Remove the worst dirt from the cooking compartment floor, the inside of the appliance door and the interior lighting. Otherwise, patches will appear that can no longer be removed.

Caution!

Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces. This will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does come into contact with these surfaces, dab it off immediately with water and a sponge cloth. Please to not rub or use any abrasive cleaning materials.

Warning – Risk of burns!

The appliance will become very hot on the outside during the cleaning function. Never touch the appliance door. Allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children away from the appliance.

Once the cooking compartment has cooled down, wipe down the cooking compartment with a damp cloth if necessary.

Note: During operation and while the cleaning function is active, reddish patches may form on the surfaces. This is not rust, but food residues. These patches are not hazardous to your health and do not limit the cleaning capacity of the self-cleaning surfaces.

Floor cleaning aid

The floor cleaning aid makes it easier to clean the cooking compartment floor. Dirt is softened beforehand by vaporizing soapy water. It can then be removed more easily.

Warning – Risk of scalding!

Water in a hot cooking compartment may create hot steam. Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment.

■ Rub soapy water onto the dirt on the smooth surfaces before starting the cleaning aid.
■ Repeat the cleaning aid once the cooking compartment has cooled down.

Descaling

The appliance must be descaled regularly in order for it to continue operating correctly.

There are several steps in the descaling programme. For hygiene reasons, the descaling programme must be run through completely so that the appliance can be ready for operation again. In total, the descaling programme runs for approx. 70-95 minutes.

■ Descale (approx. 55-70 minutes), then empty and refill the water tank
■ First rinsing cycle (approx. 9-12 minutes), then empty and refill the water tank
■ Second rinsing cycle (approx. 9-12 minutes), then empty and dry the water tank

If the descaling process is interrupted (for example, due to a power failure or because the appliance has been switched off), you are prompted to rinse the appliance twice after it is switched back on. The appliance cannot be used until the second rinsing cycle has come to an end.

The frequency with which the appliance must be descaled depends on the hardness of the water used. When only five more steam-assisted operations are possible, or fewer, the appliance reminds you to descale it with a message on the display. The number of remaining operations is displayed after the appliance is switched on. You can therefore prepare for the descaling in good time.

Starting

Caution!

Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here, you can find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and temperature are best suited to your dish. You will get information on suitable cooking accessories and the height at which they should be placed in the oven. You will also get tips about cookware and preparation methods.

Note: A lot of steam can build up in the cooking compartment when cooking food.

Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to the high difference in temperature between the appliance interior and the external parts of the appliance, condensation may build up on the door, control panel or adjacent kitchen cabinet panels. This is a normal physical phenomenon. Condensation can be reduced by preheating the oven or opening the door carefully.

When steaming or during operation with steam assistance, it is desirable that there is a significant build-up of steam in the cooking compartment. Wipe the cooking compartment clean after cooking, once it has cooled off.

Silicone moulds

For the best cooking results, we recommend dark-coloured metal baking tins/dishes.

Nevertheless, if you wish to use silicone moulds, follow the manufacturer's instructions and recipes. Silicone moulds are often smaller than normal baking tins. Quantity and recipe specifications may vary.

Silicone moulds are unsuitable for steam-assisted cooking and steaming.

Baking

Here, you can find recommended settings for many dishes.

Also refer to the notes in the section on allowing dough to rise.

Only use original accessories supplied with your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the operating modes of your appliance.

Steam-assisted baking

Certain types of baked item (e.g. yeast-risen pastries) get a more crispy crust and a more glossy surface if baked with the steam assist mode. The baked item does not dry out as much.

Steam-assisted baking is only possible on one level.

Some food turns out better if it is baked in several stages. These dishes are indicated in the table.

Shelf positions

Use the indicated shelf positions.

Baking on one level

When baking on one level, use the following shelf position:

■ Level 1

Baking on two levels

Use CircoTherm. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

■ Universal pan: Level 3 Baking tray: Level 1
■ Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack First wire rack: Level 3 Second wire rack: Level 1

By preparing several dishes at the same time, you can make energy savings of up to 45 per cent. Position baking tins/dishes next to one another or offset and vertically stacked in the cooking compartment.

Accessories

Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.

Wire rack

Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the appliance door and the curved lip pointing downwards. Always place ovenware, tins and dishes on the wire rack.

Universal pan or baking tray

Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the appliance door.

When baking moist cakes or pastries with many toppings, use the universal pan so that any excess liquid does not overflow and make the cooking compartment dirty.

Baking tins

Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable.

Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes and glass dishes extend baking time and mean that the baked item will not brown evenly.

The baking tins must be resistant to heat and steam for use in steam-assisted baking.

Greaseproof paper

Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the

selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.

Recommended setting values

The table lists the optimal heating type for various baked items. The temperature and baking time depend on the amount and consistency of the dough/mixture. For this reason, the table specifies setting ranges. Try using the lower values to start with. A lower temperature will result in more even browning. You can use a higher setting next time if necessary.

Note: Baking times cannot be reduced by using higher temperatures. Cakes or small baked items would only be cooked on the outside, and would not be fully baked in the middle.

The setting values apply to food that is placed into a cold cooking compartment; by doing this, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, you can reduce the indicated baking times by several minutes.

Preheating is necessary for selected food, and this is indicated in the table. Do not place your food or accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.

If you wish to follow one of your own recipes when baking, you should use the setting values listed for similar baked items in the table as reference. Additional information can be found in the baking tips listed after the settings table.

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will ensure that you achieve the best possible cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per cent.

Tips on baking

You want to find out whether the cake is completely cooked in the middle.	Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no dough residue, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses.	Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature to be 10 °C lower and extend the baking time. Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge.	Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
The fruit juice overflows. Next time, use the universal pan.
Small baked items stick to one another during baking.	There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to expand well and brown on all sides.
The cake is too dry.	Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
The cake is generally too light in colour.	If the shelf position and the cookware are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or extend the baking time.
The cake is too light on top, and too dark underneath.	Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
The cake is too dark on top, and too light underneath.	Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking time.
Cakes baked in a tray or tin are too brown at the back.	Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessories, not directly against the back wall.
The whole cake is too dark. Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
The cake is unevenly browned.	Select a slightly lower temperature. Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size. Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back wall. When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
You were baking on several levels. The items on the top baking tray are darker than those on the lower baking tray.	Always use CircoTherm when baking on several levels. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
The cake looks good, but is not cooked properly in the middle.	Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it is turned upside down.	Allow the cake to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin/dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Roasting and braising

Here, you can find information on roasting and braising poultry and meat. You can find the ideal settings for many dishes in the settings tables.

Poultry

For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings. This allows the fat to run out.

If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck breasts.

When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or the skin side is underneath at first.

Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter, salted water or orange juice.

Meat

Baste lean meat with fat as required or cover it with strips of bacon.

Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when cooking, ensure that the rind is underneath at first.

When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for another 10 minutes in the cooking compartment. This allows the meat juices to be better distributed. Wrap the joint in aluminium foil if necessary.

The recommended resting time is not included in the cooking time indicated.

Roasting on the wire rack

On the wire rack, poultry and meat will become very crispy on all sides. Roasting on the wire rack is well suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.

Depending on the size and type of the meat, add up to 12 litres of water to the universal pan. Any dripping fat and meat juices will be caught. You can prepare a sauce using these meat juices. In addition, less smoke is generated, and the cooking compartment stays cleaner.

Slide the universal pan into the oven at the indicated shelf position with the wire rack attached. Ensure that the wire rack is correctly positioned on the universal pan. → "Accessories" on page 12

Roasting and braising in cookware

It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare the sauce in the cookware itself.

Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven. Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment.

Glass cookware is most suitable. Place hot glass cookware onto a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is damp or cold, the glass may crack.

Add in a little liquid for roasting if the meat is lean. A covering of approx. 12 cm depth should be applied to the base of any glass cookware.

The amount of liquid is dependent on the type of meat, the cookware material and also on whether or not a lid is used. If preparing meat in an enamelled or dark metal roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass cookware.

The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting. Carefully pour in more liquid if required.

Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore not particularly suitable. The meat cooks more slowly and will not brown so much. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

Observe the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting cookware.

Roasting in uncovered cookware

It is best to use a deep roasting tin/dish for roasting poultry and meat. Place the tin/dish onto the wire rack. If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.

Braising in covered cookware

When preparing food with covered cookware, the cooking compartment remains considerably cleaner. Ensure that the lid fits well and closes properly. Place the cookware onto the wire rack.

The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least 3 cm. The meat may rise.

Very hot steam may escape when opening the lid after cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam can escape away from you.

If necessary, braise the meat first by searing it. Add water, wine, vinegar or a similar liquid to the braising liquid. A covering at least 2 cm deep should be applied to the base of the cookware.

The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting. Carefully pour in more liquid if required.

Steam-assisted roasting and braising

Certain dishes become crispier if cooked using steam, and do not dry out as much.

Use uncovered cookware. Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant.

The joints do not have to be turned.

Use steam-assisted cooking if it is indicated in the settings table. Some dishes turn out best if they are cooked in several stages. These are indicated in the table.

Steaming

By contrast to the steam assistance function, the steaming function cooks the meat particularly gently, but it does not become crispy on the outside. It remains very succulent. As an alternative, you can also fry pieces of meat quickly before steaming; the cooking time will be reduced.

Larger pieces require a longer heating-up time and a longer cooking time. If you are using several pieces which are the same weight, the heating-up time is increased, and not the cooking time.

Pieces of meat do not need to be turned.

Use the perforated steam container (size XL) and slide the universal pan in underneath. You can also use a glass tray and place this onto the wire rack.

Meat thermometer

You can cook accurately using a meat thermometer. Read important notes on using the meat thermometer in the corresponding chapter. There, you can find notes on inserting the meat thermometer, the possible heating types and additional information. "Meat thermometer" on page 28

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for poultry and meat. Temperature and cooking time depend on the quantity, composition and temperature of the food. Different settings ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.

The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry and meat are placed into a cold cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, the indicated cooking times will be reduced by several minutes.

In the table, you can find specifications for poultry and meat with default values for the weight. If you wish to prepare heavier poultry or meat, use the lower temperature in every case. If roasting several joints, use the weight of the heaviest piece as a basis for determining the cooking time. The individual pieces should be approximately equal in size.

A general rule: the larger the poultry or piece of meat is, the lower the cooking temperature and the longer the cooking time.

Turn the poultry and meat after approx. 12 to 23 of the indicated time.

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will achieve the best possible cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per cent.

Cooking time calculation (e. g. 20+35):

Please calculate the cooking time with 20 minutes per 500 g meat + 35 minutes additional time. For 1,5 kg the calculated cooking time would be 95 minutes.

Cooking time range (e. g. 10-15):

The food is done within the stated minutes.

Tips on roasting and braising

The cooking compartment becomes very dirty.	Prepare your food in an enclosed roasting dish with higher temperature or use the grill tray. You will achieve the best roasting results if you use the grill tray. The grill tray can be bought later as a special accessory.
The roast is too dark and the crack-ling is burned in places, and/or the roast is too dry.	Check the shelf position and temperature. Select a lower temperature the next time and reduce the roasting time if necessary.
The crackling is too thin.	Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.	Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid if necessary.

The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery.	Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid if necessary.
The meat gets burned during braising.	The roasting dish and lid must fit together well and close properly.Reduce the temperature and add more liquid when braising if necessary.

Grilling

Here, you can find information on grilling poultry, meat and fish, as well as toast. You can find the ideal settings for certain dishes in the settings tables.

Grilling with circo-roasting

Circo-roasting is very well suited to the preparation of whole poultry and fish, in addition to meat, e.g. roast pork with crackling.

Poultry

For duck or goose, pierce the skin on the underside of the wings. This allows the fat to run out.

If using duck breast, score the skin. Do not turn duck breasts.

When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side or the skin side is underneath at first.

Poultry will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste it towards the end of the roasting time with butter, salted water or orange juice.

Meat

Baste lean meat with fat as required or cover it with strips of bacon.

Score the rind crosswise. If you turn the joint when cooking, ensure that the rind is underneath at first.

When the joint is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for another 10 minutes in the cooking compartment. This allows the meat juices to be better distributed. Wrap the joint in aluminium foil if necessary. The recommended resting time is not included in the cooking time indicated.

Fish

Fish cooked whole does not have to be turned. Place the whole fish into the cooking compartment in swimming position with the dorsal fin facing upwards. Placing half a potato or a small oven-proof container in the stomach cavity of the fish will provide stability.

You can tell when the fish is cooked because the dorsal fin can be removed easily.

Roasting on the wire rack

On the wire rack, poultry and meat will become very crispy on all sides. Roasting on the wire rack is well suited for larger poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.

Depending on the size and type of the meat, add up to 12 litres of water to the universal pan. Any dripping fat and meat juices will be caught. You can prepare a sauce using these meat juices. In addition, less smoke is generated, and the cooking compartment stays cleaner.

Slide the universal pan into the oven at the indicated shelf position with the wire rack attached. Ensure that the wire rack is correctly positioned on the universal pan. → "Accessories" on page 12

Roasting in cookware

It is more convenient to roast and braise meat in cookware. You can take the joint out of the cooking compartment more easily in the cookware, and prepare the sauce in the cookware itself.

Only use cookware which is suitable for use in an oven. Check whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment.

Glass cookware is most suitable. Place hot glass cookware onto a dry mat after cooking. If the surface is damp or cold, the glass may crack.

Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. A covering of approx. 12 cm depth should be applied to the base of any glass cookware.

The quantity of liquid is dependent on the type of meat, the cookware material and also on whether or not a lid is used. If preparing poultry, meat or fish in an enamelled or dark metal roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass cookware.

The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting. Carefully pour in more liquid if required.

Shiny roasting dishes made from stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat like a mirror and are therefore not particularly suitable. The meat cooks more slowly and will not brown so much. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

Observe the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting cookware.

Uncovered cookware

Use a deep roasting tin/dish for roasting meat. Place the tin/dish onto the wire rack. If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the universal pan.

Covered cookware

When cooking with covered cookware, the cooking compartment remains considerably cleaner. Ensure that the lid fits well and closes properly. Place the cookware onto the wire rack.

The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least 3 cm. The meat may rise.

Very hot steam may escape when opening the lid after cooking. Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam can escape away from you.

If necessary, braise the meat first by searing it. Add water, wine, vinegar or a similar liquid to the braising liquid. A covering approx. 1-2 cm deep should be applied to the base of the cookware.

The steam evaporates in the cookware when roasting. Carefully pour in more liquid if required.

Meat can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. To do so, use a roasting dish with a glass lid and set a higher temperature.

Steam-assisted roasting

Certain foodstuffs will become crispier during steam-assisted cooking. Their surface becomes glossier and they dry out less.

Use uncovered cookware. Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant.

Use steam-assisted cooking if it is indicated in the settings table. Some dishes turn out best if they are cooked in several stages. These are indicated in the table.

Grilling flat pieces

Flat pieces of poultry, meat and fish, such as steaks, drumsticks and burgers, can be prepared well using the "Grill" heating type. Excellent results are also achieved when grilling toast.

Grilling

Keep the appliance door closed when using the grill. Never grill with the appliance door open.

Place the food to be grilled on the wire rack. In addition, slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position lower, with the slanted edge facing the appliance door. Any dripping fat will be caught.

When grilling, try wherever possible to use pieces of food which are of a similar thickness and weight. This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy. Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.

Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry.

Do not add salt until after the meat has been grilled. Salt draws water from the meat.

Notes

■ The grill element switches itself continuously on and off; this is normal. The set temperature determines how frequently this occurs.

■ Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Meat thermometer

You can cook accurately using a meat thermometer. Read important notes on using the meat thermometer in the corresponding chapter. There, you can find notes on inserting the meat thermometer, the possible heating

types and additional information. → "Meat thermometer" on page 28

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for your poultry, meat and fish, in addition to toast. Temperature and cooking time depend on the quantity, composition and temperature of the food. Settings ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. You can use a higher setting next time if necessary.

The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry, meat and fish are placed into a cold cooking compartment.

Convenience products

Here, you can find the ideal settings for preparing chilled and frozen food.

Only use original accessories supplied with your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the operating modes of your appliance.

Tips

■ The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and unevenness may already be present on the packaged product.
■ Do not use frozen products that are heavily frosted. Remove any ice on the food.
■ Distribute foods which are in pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so that they are spread flat and evenly on the accessories. Leave a little space between the individual pieces.
■ Observe the instructions on the packaging.

Steam-assisted baking

Certain types of baked item (e.g. yeast-risen pastries) get a more crispy crust and a more glossy surface if baked with the steam assist mode. The baked item does not dry out as much.

Steam-assisted baking is only possible on one level.

Shelf positions

Use the indicated shelf positions.

Baking on one level

When baking on one level, use the following shelf position:

■ Level 1

Baking on two levels

Use CircoTherm. Baked items that are placed into the oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

■ Universal pan: Level 3 Baking tray: Level 1

Accessories

Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.

Wire rack

Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the appliance door and the curved lip pointing downwards. Always place ovenware, tins and dishes on the wire rack.

Universal pan or baking tray

Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the appliance door.

Greaseproof paper

Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for various dishes. Temperature and cooking time depend on the quantity and composition of the product. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. A lower temperature results in more even browning. You can use a higher setting next time if necessary.

Note: Cooking times cannot be reduced by using higher temperatures. The dish would only be cooked on the outside, but would not be fully cooked in the middle.

The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the oven, the indicated cooking times will be reduced by several minutes.

Preheating is necessary for selected dishes, and this is indicated in the table.

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will achieve the best possible cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per cent.

Steaming

Only use original accessories. When steaming in the perforated steam container (size XL), always slide the universal pan in underneath as well. Dripping liquid is caught.

Steaming on one level

Use the shelf positions indicated in the settings tables.

Steaming on two levels

Steaming on two levels is very well suited to simultaneously cooking broccoli and potatoes, for example. In cases where the cooking times are different, insert the foodstuff with the shorter cooking time later.

■ Wire rack and attached steam container (size S), perforated and/or unperforated: Level 3

■ Perforated steam container (size XL): Level 2

Cookware

If you use cookware, place it onto the wire rack or the perforated steam container, size XL.

Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Cooking times are increased when using cookware with thick edges.

Food which would normally be prepared in a water bath should always be covered with foil.

Cooking time and quantity

Cooking times when steaming are dependent on the size of the pieces, but not dependent on the total quantity. If a larger total quantity is used, the heating-up time is increased and not the cooking time.

Larger pieces require a longer heating-up time and a longer cooking time. If you are using several pieces which are the same weight, the heating-up time is increased, and not the cooking time.

Observe the unit sizes indicated in the settings table. The cooking time is reduced for smaller pieces and increased for larger ones. Cooking time is also influenced by the quality and ripeness of the food. This means that the setting values indicated are purely guidelines.

Always distribute the food evenly in the cookware. It will not cook evenly if the layers are of different depths. When layering delicate foods in the cooking container, do not pile them too high. It is better to use two containers.

Rice and cereals

Add water or liquid in the proportion indicated. E.g. "1:1.5" means adding 150 ml liquid per 100 g rice.

Menu cooking

With your appliance you can cook a whole menu at once without the different flavours or aromas mixing with each other.

Place the food with the longest cooking time in the appliance first and add the rest at the appropriate time. This means that all the food will be ready at the same time.

The overall cooking time is extended with menu cooking, as a little steam escapes each time the appliance door is opened and has to be reheated.

Observe the information in the relevant paragraphs of this section:

■ The heating-up time varies depending on the size and weight of the food
■ The cooking time does not depend on the quantity
■ Use cookware that is steam-resistant
■ Cover soufflé with foil
■ Always insert the universal pan at level 1

Shelf positions for accessories

Always insert accessories in the following order:

■ Level 3: Wire rack with steam container, size S
■ Level 2: Steam container, size XL
■ Level 1: Universal pan

Eco heating functions

CircoTherm eco and Top/bottom heating eco are intelligent heating functions that allow you to gently cook meat, fish and baked items. The appliance optimally controls the supply of energy to the cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases using residual heat. This means that it remains more succulent and browns less. Depending on the method of preparation and the type of food, it is possible to save energy. If you open the appliance door before the food has finished cooking or if you preheat the appliance, you may not be able to achieve this result.

Only use genuine accessories for your appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking compartment and the operating modes of your appliance. Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

Place the food into the empty cooking compartment before the oven is heated up. For CircoTherm eco, select a temperature of between 125 and 200 °C, and for Top/bottom heating eco, select a temperature of between 150 and 250 °C. Always keep the appliance door closed when cooking. Only cook on one level when using this function.

The CircoTherm eco heating function is used to measure both the energy consumption in air recirculation mode and the energy efficiency class. The Top/bottom heating eco heating function is used to measure the energy consumption in the conventional mode.

Accessories

Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and that they are placed in the oven the right way around.

Wire rack

Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the appliance door and the curved lip pointing downwards. Always place ovenware, tins and dishes on the wire rack.

Universal pan or baking tray

Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the appliance door.

Baking tins and cookware

Dark- coloured metal baking tins are most suitable. These allow you to make energy savings of up to 35 per cent.

Cookware made from stainless steel or aluminium reflects heat like a mirror. Non-reflective cookware

made from enamel, heat-resistant glass or coated, die-cast aluminium is more suitable.

Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes or glass dishes prolong baking time, and the cake will not brown so evenly.

Greaseproof paper

Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.

Recommended setting values

Here, you can find specifications for the various dishes with CircoTherm Eco and Top/bottom heating Eco. The temperature and baking time depend on the consistency and amount of the dough. Settings ranges are indicated for this reason. Try with the lower values first. A lower temperature results in more even browning. You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.

Note: Baking times can not be reduced by using higher temperatures. Cakes or baked items would only be cooked on the outside, but would not be fully cooked in the middle.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products prepared at high temperatures, such as potato

crisps, chips, sliced bread, bread rolls, bread or fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, spiced biscuit).

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum

General ■ Keep cooking times as short as possible.■ Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark.■ Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.

Baking With top/bottom heating at max. 200 °C.With hot air at max. 180 °C.

Biscuits With top/bottom heating at max. 190 °C.With hot air at max. 170 °CEgg or egg yolk reduces the production of acrylamide.

Oven chips Spread out a single layer evenly on the baking tray. Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out.

Slow cook

Slow cooking is a technique for cooking food over a long period at low temperatures. For this reason, it is also called "low-temperature cooking".

Slow cooking is ideal for all prime cuts (e.g. tender portions of beef, veal, pork, lamb or poultry) which are to be cooked "à point". The meat will remain succulent and tender.

The benefit of this cooking method is that it allows lots of scope for menu planning because slow-cooked meat is easy to keep warm. You do not have to turn the meat when cooking. Keep the appliance door closed in order to maintain an even cooking climate.

Only use fresh, clean and hygienic meat without bones. Carefully remove sinews and fat from around the edge. Fat develops a strong, distinct flavour during slow cooking. You can also use seasoned or marinated meat. Do not use defrosted meat.

Meat can be carved immediately following slow cooking. No standing time is required. Due to the special cooking method, the meat looks pink, but is not raw or undercooked.

Note: Delayed-start operation with an end time is not possible for the slow cooking heating type.

Cookware

Use flat cookware, e.g. a glass/porcelain serving dish. Place the cookware into the cooking compartment to preheat it.

Always place the uncovered cookware onto the wire rack at level 1.

You can find additional information in the tips on slow cooking attached to the settings table.

Your appliance features the heating type "Slow cook". Only start operation when the cooking compartment has fully cooled down. Allow the cooking compartment to warm up for around 10 minutes with the cookware inside.

Sear the meat on the hotplate at a very high heat and for a sufficiently long time on all sides, even on the ends. Place into the preheated cookware right away. Place the cookware containing the meat into the cooking compartment once again and cook slowly.

Recommended setting values

The slow cooking temperature and cooking time are dependent on the size, thickness and quality of the meat. Different settings ranges are indicated for this reason.

Tips for slow cooking

Slow-cooking duck breast.	Place the cold duck breast into a pan and fry the skin side first. After slow cooking, grill for 3 to 5 minutes until crispy.
The slow-cooked meat is not as hot as conventionally roasted meat.	So that the roasted meat does not cool so quickly, warm the plates and serve the sauces very hot.

Drying

You can achieve outstanding drying results with CircoTherm. With this type of preserving, flavourings are concentrated by the dehydration.

Only use unblemished fruit, vegetables and herbs and wash them thoroughly. Line the wire rack with greaseproof paper or parchment paper. Drain the excess water from the fruit and dry it.

If necessary, cut it into equal chunks or thin slices. Place unpeeled fruit onto the dish with the sliced surfaces facing upwards. Ensure that neither fruit nor mushrooms overlap on the wire rack.

Grate vegetables and then blanch them. Allow the blanched vegetables to drain off and distribute them evenly on the wire rack.

Dry herbs on the stem. Position the herbs evenly and slightly heaped on the wire rack.

Use the following shelf positions when drying:

■ 1 wire rack: Level 2
■ 2 wire racks: Level 3+1

Turn very juicy fruit and vegetables several times. After drying, remove the dried products from the paper immediately.

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find settings for drying various foodstuffs. The temperature and cooking time are dependent on the type, moisture, ripeness and thickness of the food to be dried. The longer you leave the food to be dried, the better it will be preserved. The thinner the slices are, the quicker the drying process will be and the more aromatic the dried food will remain. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason.

If you wish to dry additional foodstuffs, you should use similar foodstuffs in the table as a reference.

Preserving and juicing

Your appliance is also suitable for preserving and juicing.

Preserving

You can preserve fruit and vegetables using your appliance.

⚠ Warning – Risk of injury!

If the food is preserved incorrectly, the preserving jars may burst. Follow the instructions for preserving.

Jars

Use only clean and undamaged preserving jars. Only use heat-resistant, clean and undamaged rubber rings. Check clips and clamps in advance.

Tip: You can use the disinfecting function to clean the jars.

For each preserving process, only use preserving jars that are the same size and contain the same food. In the cooking compartment, you can preserve the contents of a maximum of six 12 , 1 or 112 -litre preserving jars at the same time. Do not use jars that are larger or taller than this. The lids could rupture.

Preserving jars must not touch one another in the cooking compartment during the preserving process.

Preparing fruit and vegetables

Only use fruit and vegetables that are in good condition. Wash them thoroughly.

Peel, core and chop fruit and vegetables appropriate to their type and fill the preserving jars with them up to approx. 2 cm below the rim.

Fruit: Fill the preserving jars with the fruit along with a hot, skimmed sugar solution (approx. 400 ml for a 1-litre jar). For one litre of water:

■ Approx. 250 g sugar for sweet fruit

■ Approx. 500 g sugar for sour fruit

Vegetables: Fill the jars with the vegetables along with hot, boiled water.

Wipe the rims of the jars, as they must be clean. Place a damp rubber ring and a lid on each jar. Seal the jars with clamps. Place the jars into the perforated steam container (size XL) so that they do not touch each other. Pour 500 ml hot water (approx. 80 °C) into the universal pan. Use the settings indicated in the table.

Ending the preserving process

After the specified cooking time, open the appliance door. Do not remove the preserving jars from the cooking compartment until they have completely cooled down.

Wipe the cooking compartment clean afterwards.

Juicing

Before juicing, place the berries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Leave to stand for at least one hour to draw out the juice.

Then fill the perforated steam container (size XL) with the berries and insert into the oven at level 2. Slide the universal pan in underneath to collect any juice. Use the settings indicated in the table.

After cooking, wrap the berries in a cloth and squeeze out the remaining juice.

Wipe the cooking compartment clean afterwards.

Recommended setting values

The times indicated in the settings table are guideline values for preserving fruit and vegetables and for juicing fruit. They may be influenced by room temperature, number of jars, quantity, heat and the quality of the jar contents. The specifications are based on 1-litre round jars.

Sterilising bottles and hygiene

Using your appliance, you can very easily sterilise cookware and baby feeding bottles. The process corresponds to normal sterilisation by boiling.

Sterilising bottles

Always clean the bottles with a bottle brush immediately after use. Then clean them in the dishwasher.

Place the bottles into the steam container, size XL, so that they do not touch each other. Start the programme "Sterilising". After sterilising, wipe the appliance down inside. Dry the bottles with a clean cloth after sterilising.

Hygiene

Your appliance is also suitable for preparing jam jars or preserving jars and their corresponding lids.

Post-treatment of jam is also possible. This improves the storage life of the jam.

Recommended setting values

Only use clean, intact jars and lids. They should ideally be cleaned in the dishwasher in advance. Cookware must be heat- and steam-resistant.

The recommended times are dependent on the jars used.

Allowing the dough to prove at dough proving setting

Yeast dough will prove considerably more quickly using the "Dough proving" heating type than at room temperature and does not dry out. Only start operation when the cooking compartment has fully cooled down.

Always allow yeast dough to prove twice. Observe the specifications in the settings tables for the 1st and 2nd proving processes (dough fermentation and final fermentation).

Dough fermentation

Position the dough bowl on the wire rack for the dough fermentation. Use the settings indicated in the table.

Do not open the appliance door during the proving process, as moisture will escape. Do not cover the dough.

Final fermentation

Place your baked item into the oven at the shelf position indicated in the table.

Wipe moisture from the cooking compartment before baking.

Recommended setting values

The temperature and proving time are dependent on the type and quantity of the ingredients. The values in the table are therefore only meant to be average values.

Sous-vide

Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking under a vacuum at low temperatures between 50-95 C and in 100% steam.

Sous-vide cooking is a gentle method of preparing meat, fish, vegetables and desserts. A chamber vacuum-packing machine is used to heat-seal the food in a special air-tight, heat-resistant vacuum-sealing bag.

The protective envelope of the vacuum-sealing bag retains the nutrients and flavours. The low temperatures and the direct transfer of heat allow precisely controlled cooking in order to achieve the desired cooking results. It is almost impossible to overcook the food.

Portions

Take into consideration the specified quantities and sizes for the food listed in the settings table. For relatively large quantities and items, the cooking time must be adjusted accordingly. The appliance can cook up to 2 kg of food sous-vide.

The quantities given for fish, meat and poultry correspond to one to two portions. A portion size sufficient for four people has been selected for vegetables and desserts.

Rack levels

You can cook on up to two levels. For this purpose, always slide in the universal pan at level 1 to catch any

drops of condensate. Insert the wire racks at the levels above accordingly.

Hygiene

Warning – Health risk!

Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking at low temperatures. As a result, it is important that you always follow the application and hygiene instructions below:

■ Only use high-quality, perfectly fresh food.
■ Wash and disinfect your hands. Use disposable gloves or cooking/grill tongs.
■ Take extra care when preparing hygienically critical food, such as poultry, eggs and fish.
■ Always thoroughly rinse and/or peel fruit and vegetables.
■ Always keep work surfaces and chopping boards clean. Use different chopping boards for different types of food.
- Maintain the cold chain. Make sure that you only interrupt it briefly to prepare the food, and then return the food in its vacuum-sealed bag to the refrigerator for storage before you cook it. Store the prepared food for a maximum of 24 hours.
- Food is suitable for immediate consumption only. Once the food is cooked, consume it immediately. Do not store it after cooking – not even in the refrigerator. It is not suitable for reheating.

Tip: Since germs can be found on the surface of almost all food, the best way to kill these germs is to put the vacuum-sealed, uncooked food in boiling water for a maximum of 3 seconds. This is the best way to prepare your ingredients for sous-vide cooking so that they are free from germs and hygienic. Then place the vacuum-sealing bag in the cooking compartment to sous-vide cook the food.

Vacuum-sealing bags

When using the sous-vide cooking method, only use heat-resistant vacuum-pack bags designed for this purpose.

The vacuum-sealing bag must only be used once. Do not use these bags more than once.

Do not cook the food in the bag you bought it in (e.g. portions of fish). These bags are not suitable for sous-vide cooking.

Vacuum-sealing

Use a chamber vacuum-packing machine that can create a 99% vacuum to vacuum-seal the food. This is the only way to achieve even heat transfer and therefore a perfect cooking result.

Note: To fill the vacuum-sealing bag, fold the edge of the bag down by 3-4 cm and place it into a container, e.g. into a measuring jug.

Before cooking the food, check whether the vacuum in the vacuum-sealing bag is intact. Make sure that:

■ There is no/hardly any air in the vacuum-sealing bag.
■ The heat-sealed seam is perfectly sealed.
■ There are no holes in the vacuum-sealing bag. You do not use the core temperature probe.
■ You do not pile pieces of meat or fish on top of one another.
■ As far as possible, you avoid piling up vegetables and desserts when vacuum-sealing them.
■ To ensure that the seam is perfect, it is important that the seam area on the edge of the vacuum-sealing bag does not become wet with food residue.

If in doubt, place the food into a new vacuum-sealing bag and vacuum-seal it again.

Food should be vacuum-sealed at most one day before it is cooked. This is the only way to prevent the escape of gases from the food (e.g. from vegetables) which inhibit the transfer of heat, or to prevent the texture of the food from changing, and thus altering how it cooks, as a result of the vacuum pressure.

Quality of the food

The quality of the cooking result is 100% influenced by the quality of the ingredients you use. Use only fresh, top-quality food. This is the only way to guarantee a consistent cooking result that delivers impeccable flavour.

Preparation

Cooking under a vacuum means that the flavours cannot escape. In using this method, please note that the usual quantities of seasoning and condiments, such as herbs, spices and garlic, can have a much greater effect on the flavour and can intensify the flavour. You should therefore start off by halving the quantities you usually use.

If the ingredients are of high quality, it is often sufficient to enclose them in the vacuum-sealing bag with just a small knob of butter and a little salt. Generally, the fact that the food's natural flavours intensify during cooking is sufficient on its own to produce a flavourful cooking result.

The following ingredients influence how the food is prepared:

■ Salt and sugar reduce the cooking time
■ Acidic food, such as lemon or vinegar, help the food to firm up
■ Alcohol or garlic give the food an unpleasant after-taste

Do not place the vacuum-sealed food items on top of one another or too close together on the wire racks. In order to ensure that the heat is distributed evenly, the food items should not be touching. Always slide in the universal pan at level 1 to catch any drops of condensate.

Caution!

Risk of damage to kitchen units

Only fill the water tank once for sous-vide cooking. Do not fill the water tank a second time. Otherwise, large volumes of water will accumulate on the cooking compartment floor. The water may leak out of the cooking compartment.

The preparation of food that is listed in the settings table is based on how long one tankful lasts.

In general, when the water tank has been completely filled, the following maximum cooking times apply, depending on the temperature:

Temperature in °C Max. cooking time in min

50 270

60 210

70 150

80 120

90 90

⚠ Warning – Risk of scalding!

Hot water collects on the vacuum-sealing bag during cooking. Use an oven cloth to carefully lift the vacuum-sealing bag, so that the hot water runs off into the universal pan or the cooking container. Then use the oven cloth to carefully remove the vacuum-sealing bag.

Once the food is cooked, allow the cooking compartment to cool and then use a sponge to wipe away the water that is on the cooking compartment floor.

Dry the vacuum-sealing bag from the outside, place it in a clean container, and use scissors to open it. Place all of the food, along with its juices, into the container. You can use the stock or marinade to make a sauce.

The food can be finished off as follows once the sous-vide cooking stage is complete:

Meat: Flash fry in a frying pan at a very high temperature for a few seconds only on each side. This gives it a nice crust and the flavours you would expect from frying, without overcooking it.

Important: Dab the meat with a paper towel before placing it into hot oil, in order to avoid fat spitting out of the pan.

Vegetables: Flash fry in a frying pan to give them the flavours you would expect from frying. When frying vegetables like this, it is easy to season them or mix them with other ingredients.

Fish: Season and coat with hot butter.

Fry the food for longer if has not been sufficiently well cooked during the sous-vide cooking stage.

Serve the food on pre-heated plates and, if possible, with a hot sauce or butter as sous-vide cooking takes place at relatively low temperatures.

Defrosting

The defrost setting is suitable for defrosting frozen fruit and vegetables. Use the heating type 4D hot air to defrost baked items. Poultry, meat and fish should ideally be defrosted in the refrigerator.

Remove frozen food from any packaging when defrosting it.

Place frozen fruit and vegetables into the perforated steam container (size XL) and slide the universal pan in underneath. This means that the food does not remain in the meltwater and that any dripping liquid will be caught. Use the universal pan or cookware on the wire rack for frozen food where liquid should remain in the dish, e.g. frozen creamed spinach.

Place the baked item onto the wire rack.

Recommended setting values

The times in the table are average values. They are dependent on the quality, freezing temperature (-18 °C) and composition of the food. Time ranges are indicated. Set the shortest time first and then increase the time if necessary.

Tip: Items which were frozen flat or portioned defrost faster than those frozen in a block.

Reheating

Using heating type "Reheating", food is reheated gently using steam. It tastes and looks as though it has been freshly prepared. Even baked items from the day before can be re-crisped.

Use containers which are as flat, wide and heat-resistant as possible. Cold containers prolong the reheating process.

Where possible, only reheat dishes of the same size and type at the same time. If this is not possible, the time required for the component with the longest reheating time should be used as a basis.

Do not cover food while it is being reheated.

Place the food in the cookware onto the wire rack or place it directly onto the wire rack at level 1.

Do not open the appliance door during operation, as a lot of steam will escape.

Recommended setting values

In the table, you can find the ideal settings for various dishes. The times specified are only average values. They are dependent on the cookware used, the quality, temperature and consistency of the food. Time ranges are indicated. Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.

The values in the table apply to dishes placed into a cold cooking compartment. Preheating is necessary for selected dishes, and this is indicated in the table.

Remove unused accessories from the cooking compartment. This will allow you to achieve ideal cooking results and save energy.

Keeping warm

You can keep cooked dishes warm using the "Keeping warm" heating type. You can use the various moisture levels to prevent the cooked dishes from drying out.

Do not cover the food.

Do not keep cooked dishes warm for longer than two hours. Be aware that some dishes may continue cooking whilst being kept warm. Do not cover the food.

The various steam levels are suitable for keeping the following foods warm:

■ Level 1: Roasted joints and pan-fried foods
■ Level 2: Bakes and side dishes
■ Level 3: Stews and soups

Test dishes

These tables have been produced for test institutes to facilitate appliance testing.
