cooking or roasting bags.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
Use of a wrong core temperature probe can damage the
insulation. Use only the core temperature probe
intended for this appliance.
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Silicone
baking pans are not suitable for Combination mode.
When using Steam mode with a perforated cooking pan,
always slide the baking pan underneath it. The pan will
catch any drippings.
The oven bottom and the evaporator dish must always
remain clear. Always place ovenware on the rack or in
the perforated cooking pan.
Proposition 65 Warning:
This product may contain a chemical known to the State
of California, which can cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Therefore, the packaging of your product may
bear the following label as required by California:
▯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.

Calibrate the appliance before steaming for the first
time. The appliance sets the boiling point.
Calibrating
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.

For hygiene reasons, critical foodstuffs such as fish and
game should reach a core temperature of 143 - 158° F
(62 – 70 °C); for poultry and minced meat this should
be as high as 176 - 185° F (80 – 85 °C).

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.

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.

▯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

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.

▯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.
9WARNING
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
Page 48
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:

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.

▯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

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.
9WARNING
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
GeneralKeep 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.
BakingWith hot air at max. 355° F (180 °C).
CookiesEgg 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.
