Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.

Causes of Damage

Environmental protection

NOTICES:

Do not place anything directly on the oven floor. Do
not line it with aluminum foil. Heat build-up can damage the appliance.
The oven bottom should always remain clear.
Always place dishes in a perforated baking pan or on a rack.
We recommend you install a descaling system for
hard mains water. You can inquire with your waterworks to obtain information about your mains water.
Aluminum foil may not contact the door pane in the
oven. This can cause permanent discoloration of the door pane.
Dishes must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone
baking dishes are not suited for combination operation with steam.
Use only original accessories in the oven interior.
Rusting material (such as serving platters or knives and forks) can cause corrosion in the oven interior.
Use original small parts (e.g. knurled nuts) only.
Reorder small parts through out spare parts service if these should be lost..
Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an
extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside the oven.
Salt, spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup or mustard) or
salted dishes (e.g. cured roast) contain chlorides and acids. These corrode the surfaces of stainless steel. Always remove residues immediately.
Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always
remove fruit juice immediately when safe to touch, and wipe up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.
Your appliance's oven interior consists of high-
grade stainless steel. Corrosion can occur in the oven interior if it is not cared for properly. Observe the care and cleaning notes in the operating instructions. After every use, clean the oven interior straight after the appliance has cooled down. After cleaning, dry the oven interior with the drying program.
Do not detach the door seal. The appliance door
will no longer close properly if the door seal is damaged. Adjoining furniture frontages may be damaged. Have the door seal replaced.
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.

Saving energy

Open the appliance door as little as possible while
cooking.
Use dark, black-painted or enamelled baking forms.
These absorb the heat particularly well.
It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The
steam oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf tins next to each other.
For longer cooking times, you can switch off the
steam oven 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and you can use the residual heat to finish cooking.
When steaming, you can cook simultaneously on
several levels. If dishes require different cooking times, insert the dishes that require the longest time first.

The boiling point of water depends on barometric pressure. As air pressure drops with increasing elevation, the boiling point drops as well. During calibration, the appliance sets the boiling point to the pressure conditions at the place where it is installed.
It is important for the appliance to steam for 20 minutes at 212° F (100°C) without interruption. Do not open the appliance door during this time.
Notes
Calibrate the appliance only when it is cold.
During calibration, the appliance generates more
steam than it normally would do.

Tables and tips

Notes

The cooking times specified are intended as a
guide. The actual cooking times depend on the quality and temperature of the food before cooking, the weight and thickness of the food to be cooked.
Always preheat the appliance. Here's how to get the
best cooking results. The cooking times specified refer to a pre-heated appliance. Add approximately 5 minutes to these times if you are placing food into the appliance without preheating it.
The specifications refer to average quantities for
four people. If you would like to prepare more, you should calculate a longer cooking time.
Use the cookware specified. If you use other
cookware, cooking times may be longer or shorter.
If you have not made a particular dish before, use
the shortest time specified to start with. You can extend the cooking time if necessary.
Open the cooking compartment door of the
preheated oven for a short time only and do not take too long to place your food inside the appliance.
When using only one cooking container, place it in
the appliance at the second level from the bottom.
When steaming, defrosting, cooking and reheating,
you can use up to three rack levels at a time (rack levels 2, 3 and 4 from the bottom). This will not cause flavor to transfer. This allows fish, vegetables and desserts to be prepared at the same time.However, the specified cooking times may need to be extended for large quantities of food.
Only one level can be used for baking; the second
level from the bottom is designated for this.
Do not allow the food to come into contact with the
cooking compartment, grease filter or back panel of the oven.
The combination steam oven must shut properly.
Keep the seal surfaces clean at all times.
Do not place too many items close together on wire
racks or containers. This is to ensure an optimal steam circulation.
If you wish to prepare food using steam and the
appliance has been heated to over 212° F (100 °C) (for example because it has just been used for baking), allow the appliance to cool down before steaming your food.Otherwise, the high temperature will cause your food to dry out.

Vegetables

Vegetables are prepared better in steam than in
boiling water: the taste, color, and consistency are retained better. Water-soluble vitamins and nutrients are hardly washed out. Since the combination steam oven works without pressure at just 212° F (100°C), the preparation is much gentler than in a pressure cooker, for example.
All details refer to 1 kg (2 lb) washed vegetables.

Fish

Steaming is a fat-free way of cooking food, with
which the fish does not dry out.
Fish should (for hygienic reasons) have a core
temperature of at least 143 - 149° F (62 - 65°C) after cooking. This is also the ideal cooking point.
Only salt the fish after cooking. Thus the natural
aroma is retained and less water is removed from the fish.

Meat – cooking at higher temperatures

The combination of steam and hot air is the optimal
cooking process for many types of meat. The cooking compartment is hermetically sealed in this mode, the moisture prevents the meat from drying out as in conventional hot air. Thanks to the variable humidity control, the optimal climate can be achieved for every type of food.
The cooking times specified should be regarded as
guidelines and depend heavily on the initial temperature of the food and the length of time roasted. For better results, use the core temperature probe. For notes and optimal target temperatures, see the "core temperature probe" chapter.
Take the meat out of the refrigerator 1 hour before
preparation.

If you are using the perforated cooking inserts or
the wire rack, insert an unperforated cooking container underneath. Put a little water in the unperforated cooking insert to prevent burning. In addition, you can add vegetables, wine, spices and herbs in order to create a tasty sauce base.
If you would like to cook the meat so it is medium or
rare: open the door 40° F (5°C) before the desired core temperature is reached and wait until the target temperature has been reached. This way you prevent overcooking and you give the meat the necessary time to rest.
Meat's time to rest: Let the meat rest on a wire rack
for 5 min. after cooking. This way, the meat can "relax." The circulation of the meat juice slows down and there is less loss of juice when cutting into the meat.

Meat browned crisp needs to rest for a longer
period at low temperature. This way, the meat gets evenly pink and extremely juicy but for a very thin crusty edge. Here, neither turning nor basting are required.
The cooking times specified should be regarded as
guidelines and depend heavily on the initial temperature of the food and the length of time roasted. For better results, use the core temperature probe. For notes and optimal target temperatures, see the "core temperature probe" chapter.
Take the meat out of the refrigerator 1 hour before
preparation.
For hygienic reasons, brown the meat on all sides in
the pan briefly and over high heat before cooking. This way, the meat has a crust that prevents the juices from escaping and provides a typical roast flavor.
Season carefully: the slow resting of the meat
intensifies all flavors.
With game and horse meat, the flavor is stronger
with low-temperature cooking than with a classic preparation.
Use the "Low-temperature cooking" mode . Any
steam escaping from the food therefore remains in the cooking compartment and prevents the food from drying out.
Please note that you cannot reach any core
temperatures above the cooking compartment temperature. The rule of thumb is: the set cooking compartment temperature should be 50 - 60°F (10­15 °C) above the desired core temperature.
Toward the end of the cooking time, you can reduce
the temperature to 140°F (60 °C). This way, you can extend the cooking time (e.g. if your guests arrive late). If you want to stop the cooking process, the cooking compartment temperature may not be higher than the desired core temperature. Thus, large pieces can remain in the cooking compartment for 1 - 1.5 hours, small pieces for 30­45 minutes.

Serve on a pre-warmed dish.

Poultry

The humidity for combination operation prevents
the drying out, which is essential with poultry. At the same time, thanks to the high temperature, the surface gets crispy and brown. The hot steam has twice as much ability to transfer heat as conventional hot air and reaches all parts of the food. Therefore, a chicken is browned evenly and gets crispy, yet the breast meat remains tender and juicy.

Sous-vide cooking

Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking under a vacuum at low temperatures between 120 - 200°F (50 ­95 °C) and in 100% steam.
Sous-vide cooking is a gentle, low-fat method of preparing meat, fish, vegetables and desserts. A vacuum-packing machine is used to heat-seal the food in a special air-tight, heat-resistant cooking bag.
The protective envelope retains the nutrients and flavors. 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
Use the portion sizes listed in the cooking table. For relatively large quantities and items, the cooking time must be adjusted accordingly.
The portions given for fish, meat and poultry correspond to a single serving. A portion size sufficient for four people has been selected for vegetables and desserts.
Rack levels
You can cook on up to two levels. Place the cooking containers on levels 1 and 3 to achieve the best cooking results. When cooking on just one level, use level 2.
Hygiene
Vacuum-pack bags
When using the sous-vide cooking method, only use heat-resistant vacuum-pack bags designed for this purpose.
Do not cook the food in the bag you bought it in (e.g. portions of fish). These bags are not suitable for sous­vide cooking.
Vacuum sealing
Use a chamber vacuum-packing machine that can create a vacuum of at least 99% to vacuum-seal the food. This is the only way to achieve even heat transfer and therefore a perfect cooking result.
Before cooking the food, check whether the vacuum in the bag is intact. Make sure that:
There is no/hardly any air in the vacuum-pack bag.
The seam is perfectly sealed.
There are no holes in the vacuum-pack bag. Do not
use the core temperature probe.
Pieces of meat and fish that have been vacuum-
sealed together are not pressed directly against one another.
As far as possible, you avoid piling up vegetables
and desserts when vacuum-sealing them.
If in doubt, place the food into a new bag and vacuum­seal it again.
9 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:
Use only fresh, good-quality food.
Wash and disinfect your hands. Use disposable
gloves or cooking/grill tongs.
Take extra care when preparing 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.
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.
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.
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 flavor.
Preparation
Sous-vide cooking prevents flavors from escaping, intensifying the food's natural flavor. Please note that the usual quantities of seasoning and condiments, such as herbs, spices and garlic, will have a much greater effect on the flavor. 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 bag with just a small piece of butter and a little salt and pepper. Generally, the fact that the food's natural flavors intensify during cooking is sufficient on its own to produce a flavorful cooking result.
Do not place the vacuum-sealed food items on top of one another or too close together in the cooking
47

containers. In order to ensure that the heat is distributed evenly, the food items should not be touching. If you have more than one vacuum-pack bag, cook on two levels.
overcooking it.You can achieve a particularly good result using a teppan yaki or a grill. Important: Dab the meat with a paper towel before placing it into hot oil, in order to avoid fat spitting out of the pan.
Remove the vacuum-pack bags with care after cooking as hot water accumulates on the bags. Place the unperforated cooking container on the rack underneath the perforated cooking container containing the hot food.
Dry the outside of the bag, place it into a clean, unperforated cooking container and cut it open with scissors.Place all of the food, along with its juices, into the cooking container.
The food can be finished off as follows once the sous­vide cooking stage is complete:
Flash fry at a very high temperature for a few

Vegetables: Flash fry in a frying pan or on a teppan yaki
to give them the flavors you would expect from frying. When frying vegetables like this, it is easy to season them or mix them with other ingredients without them cooling down.
Fish: Season and coat with hot butter. Since many types
of fish fall apart easily after cooking using the sous-vide method, if you wish to flash fry it, this should be done before the sous-vide cooking stage.
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.

Baked goods

With the combination steam oven, you can always
prepare your baked goods with the optimal humidity:
a | Hot air and 0% humidity:
For cake with fruit topping and quiche, excess humidity can escape. This operation mode corresponds to the hot air in the conventional baking oven.
` | Hot air and 30% humidity:
Sponge cakes do not dry out. The humidity in the food cannot escape from the cooking compartment.
_ - \ | Hot air + 60 - 100% humidity:
Puff pastry and yeast-risen pastry are fluffy inside and crispy outside, with a gloss.
In the combination steam oven, you can only bake
on one level. Insert the unperforated cooking insert into the second level. If you are using a high baking pan, place it on the wire rack that you insert into the first level.
For steam injection - possible in hot air mode (0%
humidity) and humidity level 30% - humidity is fed to the food abruptly by touching the e symbol. Among other things, when used at the beginning of the baking process when baking bread, this function ensures more volume and a crispier crust.

Defrosting

In the steam oven you can gently and evenly thaw
deep frozen foods faster than at room temperature.
Use the "Defrosting" mode W to do this.
The specified thawing times are for your orientation
only. The time it takes to thaw depends on the size and weight of the frozen food: freeze your foods flatly or individually. This shortens the thawing time.
Take foods out of the packaging before thawing
them.
Thaw only the amount you immediately need.
Remember: in certain circumstances, thawed food
does not keep so well and goes bad faster then fresh food. Immediately process thawed food and cook it thoroughly.
After half of the thawing time, turn meat or fish over
fish or separate fragmentary frozen food such as berries or bits of meat. Fish need not thaw fully. It suffices if the surface is soft enough to absorb the spices.
9 WARNING
Health risk
When thawing animal foodstuffs, it is imperative to remove the liquid that arises during thawing. It must never come into contact with other foodstuffs. Germs could be transmitted. Slide the unperforated cooking insert underneath the food. Pour away the collected thawing liquid from meat and poultry. Then clean the sink and rinse with plenty of water. Clean the cooking insert in hot soapy solution or in a dishwasher. After defrosting, operate the steam oven for 15 minutes with Convection at 350 °F (approx. 180°C).

Preserving

In combination steam ovens, you can can fruit and
vegetables with little effort.
If possible, cook food immediately after purchase or
harvesting. Longer storage decreases the vitamin content and can cause spoilage.
Only use fruit and vegetables in good condition.
The combination steam oven is not suited for
preserving meat.
Check and clean the canning jars, rubber rings,
clamps, and springs carefully.
You can disinfect the clean jars in your combination
steam oven at 212°F (100 °C) and 100% humidity for 20 - 25 min before you preserve the fruit in them.
Place the jars in the perforated cooking container
They must not be in contact with each other.
Open the cooking compartment door after the
cooking time has elapsed. Do not remove the canning jars from the appliance until they have completely cooled down.

Preparing yoghourt

You can even prepare your own yogurt in the
combination steam oven.
Heat pasteurized milk to 195°F (90°C) on the
burner in order to prevent a disturbance of the yogurt cultures. Ultra-high-heated milk (H-milk) does not have to be heated. (Note: if you want to make yogurt with cold milk, the resting period is longer).
NB! Leave milk cool to 105°F (40°C) in the water
bath so as not to destroy the yogurt cultures.
Stir natural yogurt into the milk with active yogurt
cultures (1 - 2 teaspoons of yoghourt for every 100 ml).
Leave the berries in the appliance until no more
juice appears.
You can then squeeze the berries dry in a dishtowel
to preserve the last remainders of juice.
Observations
For yogurt enzymes, heed the package instructions.
Fill the yogurt into clean jars.
You can disinfect the clean jars in your combination
steam oven at 212°F (100°C) and 100% humidity for 20 - 25 min before you pour the yogurt in. Make sure to let the jars and the cooking compartment cool off before you pour the yogurt into them and place the jars in the appliance.
After preparation, put the yogurt in the refrigerator.
To make thicker yogurt, add skin milk powder to the
milk before heating (1-2 tablespoons per liter).

Preparing bulky food

For the preparation of bulky foods, you can also
remove the side slide-in tray.
To do this, loosen the knurled screws at the front of
the slide-in tray and pull the tray out toward the front.
Place the wire rack directly on the bottom of the
cooking compartment and place the food or the roasting dishes on the wire rack. Do not place the food or the roasting dishes directly on the enameled bottom.

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Which foods are affected?
Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products that are heated to high temperatures, such as chips, fries, toast, rolls, bread, fine baked goods (cookies, gingerbread, Christmas spice cookies).
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food
General Keep cooking times as short as possible.
Cook food until it is golden brown, but not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food con-
tain less acrylamide. Baking With hot air at max. 355° F (180 °C). Cookies Egg or egg yolk reduces the production of
acrylamide. Spread out a single layer
evenly on the baking tray. Oven
French fries
Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking
tray so that the fries do not dry out.
