To speed up the drying you can heat up the appliance with hot air at temperature 150 °C for approximately 15 minutes.

Steam can condensate on the bottom of the cavity and the visibility inside the appliance can be limited. If this occurs, dry the cavity when the appliance is cool.

At the end of a steam cooking cycle, the appliance cooling fan runs at a higher speed to evacuate in a better way the excess of steam. This is normal.

•With no evaporative losses of flavour volatiles and moisture, food keeps its full aroma

•Tender texture of meat and fish

•Food keeps all minerals and vitamins

•Less spices are necessary as food keeps its natural flavour

•Better workflow as it is not necessary to prepare and serve food at the same time and place

18www.aeg.com

•Low cooking temperature minimizes the risk of overcooking

•Portioning of the food makes it easy to hold

Preparing the food

1.Clean and cut the ingredients.

2.Season the ingredients.

3.Fill the ingredients in suitable vacuum bags.

4.Vacuum seal the bag to make sure that you remove as much air as possible.

Use a plate and a towel to take out the vacuum bags. Dry out the door, the water drop collector in the bottom and the cavity with a soft cloth or a sponge. Let the appliance dry fully with the door open. To speed up the drying you can heat up the appliance with hot air at temperature 150 °C for approximately 15 minutes.
