2.3 Operating principle
In the steam cooker you can cook, steam cook and blanch.
Steam cooking consists of cooking in a steam flow. The temperature range is between 180 °F and 210 °F. The steam transmits the heat. Suitable foodstuffs are vegetables, potatoes, fish and yeast dumplings.
The steam seals the food that is being cooked and prevents a loss of nutrients in the foodstuffs. Cooked food retains its shape, its colour and its typical aroma. Foodstuffs are not browned in the steam cooker. The appliance offers you the possibility of steam cooking without pressure using one or two cooking inserts. When you use the perforated cooking insert, the steam is able to reach the food on all sides. This ensures uniform cooking even of large quantities of food.
You can also set the cooking liquid temperature in 10 °F stages between 100 and 200 °F. This precise adjustment of the water temperature allows you, for example, to melt chocolate icing, poach meat or boil pasta.
Only add salt and stock cubes to the hot water. The cooking basin is to a great extent corrosion proof, however, in certain cases, for example salt, can cause damage to the material.
The appliance is suitable for use with water or cooking liquid only. Do not use the appliance for deep frying.
Tips when using for the first time
Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories with mild soap detergent before using them for the first time. This will eliminate any 'newness’ smells and soiling. Fill the cooking basin up to the boil-over rim with clean water. Replace the glass lid and operate the appliance at the steam cooking level for 30 minutes. During this time the appliance calibrates itself automatically. During calibration you might notice more steam than usual. Drain the water.
The boiling point of water depends on your location in relation to sea level. When operating for the first time, the appliance calibrates itself automatically to the correct setting.
Should you move to a different area, the appliance has to be re-calibrated. Fill the cooking basin up to the boil-over rim with water and replace the glass lid. Turn the “Temperature” control knob three times from the position 200 °F to the steam cooking level and finally leave it on the steam cooking level. The appliance then calibrates itself automatically. This will take about 10 minutes. Do not take off the glass lid during the calibration process.

Do no use any abrasive and caustic cleaning agents. Use plastic pot cleaners or a soft
dishwashing brush and normal detergent. Do not use any abrasive sponges either.
Clean the appliance and accessories thoroughly before using them for the first time. Carry out boiling point adjustment. Fill the cooking basin up to the foaming edge and operate the appliance at the steam cooking level for 30 minutes to remove any 'newness' smells. Drain the water.
Clean the cooking basin with a mild detergent solution. The cooking basin should not be treated with stainless steel care agents because, in most cases, these are not neutral as far as foodstuffs are concerned.
You can clean the glass cover and the cooking
inserts in a dishwasher.
The control panel must only be cleaned with a
soft cloth. Do not use any commercially available stainless steel cleaners as these may be aggressive to the printed markings.
Clean control components, glass surfaces and operator controls with a moist cloth and gentle
rinsing detergent and wipe them dry with a soft dry cloth.
Clean the appliance after every use:
– Empty and clean the steam cooker after every
use. Soiling, salt and lime deposits can cause corrosion.
– Remove the leftovers strainer. Clean the cooking
inserts and the leftovers strainer in a dishwasher or with mild soap solution. The handle for the cooking inserts must only be cleaned by hand.
– Rub the cooking basin dry with a cloth and
reinsert the leftovers strainer.
– The glass cover should not be fitted while the
cooking basin is still moist.
– If a white coating should form in the cooking
basin owing to very limy water, wipe out the
basin with a water and vinegar mixture or a
descaling agent that is not harmful to foodstuffs
and then rinse it well with clear water. – Polish the cooking basin with a soft cloth and a
drop of cooking oil.
After cleaning and drying, you can store the cleaned cooking inserts and the handle in the cooking tub. Turn over the glass cover to make sure that the appliance cover (special accessory) will lie properly on the recess.

6.3 Recipes
Halibut cutlets with bunched carrots
(complete menu with two steam cooking inserts)
For 4 persons:
Ingredients
500 g bunched carrots 4 halibut cutlets (app. 200 g each) 1 lemon Pepper 1/2 bunch parsley 1/2 bunch basil or dill 30 g butter 100 ml vegetable stock Salt
Preparation
Fill the appliance to the bottom marking with water. Preheat to the steam cooking level.
Cut the leaves off the carrots down to 2 cm. Wash and peel the carrots. Steam cook the carrots whole for 12 minutes in the perforated cooking insert.
In the meantime, briefly rinse the fish cutlets and dry them well. Season them with pepper and lemon juice and place them in the unperforated cooking insert. Place the halibut over the carrots and steam everything once again for 12 minutes.
During this time, wash the herbs, dab them dry and chop them finely. Melt the butter in a large pan. Take the carrots out of the steam cooker and keep the fish warm in the steam cooker at 150 °F. Toss the carrots in the butter.
Sprinkle the chopped herbs over them. Pour on the vegetable stock and season the carrots with salt and pepper. Salt the halibut cutlets and serve them with the seasoned carrots.
Chicken breast wrapped in leek
For 4 persons:
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts (app. 120 g each) 2 teaspoons of horseradish (from a jar) 1 leek (app. 200 g) 400 g carrots 1 liter of chicken stock 1/2 bunch parsley 1 tablespoon crème fraîche 1 onion A few drops of lemon juice Salt 1 teaspoon mustard Pepper
Preparation Rinse the meat, dab it dry and cut it lengthwise in
half. Rub on horseradish all-round. Rinse the leek well and cut it lengthwise in half. Strip off the leaves singly and cut them lengthwise into strips of about 2 cm width. Boil the stock in a pan and simmer the leek strips in it for 2 minutes, lift them out and allow them to cool. Peel the carrots, rinse them and cut them lengthwise into thin strips using a peeler. Peel the onion and cut it into fine cubes. Rinse the parsley, pick off the leaves and chop half of it. Mix the carrots with the onion and the parsley leaves and pour the mixture into the strainer. Place two halves of chicken breast each on one another, wrapping the leek strips around the chicken breasts in the middle. Then place this on the carrots and lightly salt and pepper it all. Place the strainer on the stock. Bring the stock back to the boil and, with the lid in place, steam the poultry and the vegetables in medium heat for 25 - 30 minutes. Remove the strainer from the pot, but keep the lid on. Measure 150 ml of the stock and pour it into a pan. Stir it with mustard and crème fraîche and vigorously bring it to the boil. Season the sauce with salt, pepper and lemon juice and mix in the chopped parsley. Serve with mashed potato or dark white French bread.

6.4 Tips and tricks
The steam cooker may be used with max. two
cooking inserts at the same time.
When steaming with two cooking inserts,
you can either place the inserts simultaneously in the cooking basin or you can insert them during the cooking process. When using this method, please make sure that you insert the food with the longer cooking time first. Make sure you insert the perforated insert under the unperforated insert. Do not insert the other cooking insert until the time remaining for the second item you intend to cook has been reached. In this way, you can make sure that meals that require different cooking times will be ready at the same time.
Food cooked in steam has a more intensive
taste than food cooked by conventional means. Therefore, you can largely dispense with the need for additional spicing. This means that the appliance is also suitable for diets.
Nutrients, vitamins and minerals are
retained, as well as taste, shape and colour. Prepare the food without fat!
– If possible, always fit the cover. The steam
condenses on the cover and drips back onto the food. Steam and energy losses are prevented/avoided by a well sealing cover.
Cooked food does not come into contact with
the boiling water. Therefore, it is enveloped completely by the steam and is not drained of its goodness by water.
Cooking in steam is an energy-saving means
of preparing food.
Always preheat the steam cooker! This
shortens the cooking time and loss of nutrients from foodstuffs are minimised.
If the (Limiter) symbol appears on the display, this may be due to the following reasons:
– Running dry:
–The appliance is being operated without water. –There is no more water in the appliance.
– Heat build-up:
–Scale deposits may cause overheating as the
result of a heat build-up.
Important:
– Turn the “Temperature" control knob to the 0
position.
– Pour cooking liquid into the cooking basin.
– Allow the appliance to cool down fully before
operating it again.
If the (limiter) symbol does not go off after switching back on again although the appliance has fully cooled, please call your local Gaggenau customer service agency.

7.3 Installation
Produce the recess for one or several Vario
appliances in the worktop. Proceed as shown in the installation sketch and the dimension table. The dimension table contains the space requirement for the connecting strip between the appliances. Important: the angle between the cut surface and the worktop must amount to 90°. (Fig. 14)
Mark the centre of the recess exactly. Secure
the securing rails on both sides in the recess. Make sure that the lugs of the securing rails lie on the worktop and that the centre marking on the securing rails is precisely flush with the centre marking on the worktop (Fig. 15).
Lower the appliance into the worktop. Make
sure that the engaging lugs on the appliance lie exactly on the clamping springs. Press the appliance firmly into the worktop. The engaging lugs on the appliance “snap" into the clamping springs (Fig. 16).
Note: When installing the appliance in granite or marble worktops, have the holes produced by a specialist or stick on the securing rails with a temperature-resistant 2-component adhesive (metal on stone).

Secure the cover on the appliance before
assembly. See assembly instructions VD 201-010.
Note:
Several appliances can also be installed in individual recesses, as long as a minimum clearance of 40 mm (1
9
/16”) is kept to between the
appliances.

7.4 Drain installation
A permanent drain connection is recommended. This requires a drain connection in the base cabinet. It can be connected permanently (Fig. 17) or with a free fall (Fig. 18).
Please install a non-return valve if required by local codes.

If the water connection is located in a neighbouring base cabinet, connection can be established with a connecting pipe or hose (Fig. 19). A non-return valve must be installed. During installation, pay attention to a constant downward flow of the connecting pipe.
If no drain connection is available, the drain installation set (AG 060-000) allows you to drain the cooking liquid into a suitable receptacle (e.g. a 10 l bucket) (Fig. 20).
