Cooking Table
Important Notes
Always preheat the oven. This will guarantee the best results.
The cooking times given here are for a preheated oven. Add about 5 minutes to the cooking time if the oven has not been preheated.
Only open the oven door for a short time and quickly put the food in.
If you use only one level, place the cooking insert on the second level from the bottom.
When using the perforated cooking insert or the wire rack, place the unperforated cooking insert on the level below to avoid the bottom of the oven interior and the evaporating dish becoming soiled.
You can use simultaneously up to three levels (level 2, 3 and 4 from the bottom) for steaming, defrosting and regenerating. You can cook different dishes simultaneously without flavour transfer.
You can only use one level for baking. Use level 1 or 2 from the bottom depending on the cakes or pastries (see baking table).
The cooking times given are only a recommendation. The effective cooking time depends on the quality of the food, the amount and the size of the food.
Add to the cooking time for larger amounts than those stated in the cooking table.
Food being cooked must not come into contact with the oven compartment, grease filter or side plate.
The steam oven door must seal well. Always keep the door seal clean.
Do not place too much food on the wire rack or the cooking insert. This will ensure optimum circulation of the air.
Always leave the grease filter in place during use.

Tips
– Take the meat from the fridge one hour before cooking.
– Briefly sear the meat (not boiled fillet of beef) from all sides in a hot pan on the hob. Note: longer searing will
shorten the cooking time in the oven.
– Put fish in the steam oven without searing it.
– You can also use the meat probe. Refer to the chapter “Meat Probe” for tips on using the meat probe and the
temperature table for the different meats. Please note that the core temperature of the food will always stay below the set temperature in the oven.
– You can reduce the temperature to 60 °C towards the end of the cooking time (for example if your guests arrive
late).
– Serve on warmed dishes.
– 30% moisture means “Cooking in own moisture”. With this setting no additional steam is added, but the air flap
remains closed. Thus, the natural moisture of the food remains in the oven and prevents the food from drying out.

Tips
– Always preheat the steam oven.
– In the steam oven you can only bake on one single level.
– Always leave the grease filter in place during baking.
– 30% moisture means “Cooking in own moisture”. With this setting no additional steam is added, but the air flap
remains closed. Thus the natural moisture of the food remains in the oven and keeps the food from drying out.

After the time has elapsed, leave the food inside the oven for 10-15 minutes after switching off. This ensures the food is thawed right through.
Tips
– Important! Always insert an unperforated cooking insert one level below the food. Pour out the defrosting liquid
of meat and poultry. Rinse with plenty of water. Clean the cooking insert in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher.
– The defrosting time depends on the size, weight and shape of the frozen food. Always freeze your food flat or in
single pieces, this shortens the defrosting time.
– Only defrost the amount that you will need to prepare.
– Please observe: defrosted food might not keep and will deteriorate more quickly than fresh food. Immediately
prepare defrosted food and cook it thoroughly.
– Defrosting poultry: take the poultry out of the packaging.

Tips
– Heat milk (not long-life milk) on the hob to 90 °C to avoid disturbing the yogurt bacteria.
– Important! Cool the milk in a bain-marie until it reaches 40 °C to avoid destroying the yogurt bacteria.
– Stir natural yogurt (without fruit) into the milk (1-2 teaspoons for every 100 ml).
– Pour the yogurt into clean jars.
– Disinfect the clean yogurt jars in the oven for 15 minutes at 100°C before filling them with yogurt.
– In the case of yogurt ferment, pay attention to the notes on the packet (note: the time needed for maturity will be
lengthened if you use cold milk to produce the yogurt).
– On completion, place the yogurt in the fridge.
– Add skimmed milk powder to the milk before heating it (1-2 tablespoons per litre) to get a more solid yogurt.

Energy Saving Tips
The oven heats up very quickly. This means it is time and energy efficient.
When possible, try to cook different foods at the same time. This will ensure an even load on your appliance and will save you time and energy.
You can often use several levels at once (only for steaming up to 100 °C, not for baking).
Avoid opening the steam oven door frequently and for prolonged periods. Otherwise, steam and heat can escape and then has to be generated again. This involves a large loss of energy and prolongs the cooking time.
