Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service technician.
Radiation by microwaves:
Service or repairs which necessitate the removal of any casing or the door must only be carried out by a suitably trained service technician.
A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for any
visible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damaged appliance.
Check the door and door seal for any sign of damage. If any
damage is noticed, the oven should not be used again in any oven function using microwave power until the fault has been rectified by a service technician.
Operating a damaged appliance can result in microwave leakage
and present a hazard to the user. Do not use the appliance if:
– the door is warped, – the front of the oven compartment is dented or bowed, – the door hinges are loose, – holes or cracks are visible in the casing, the door, the door seal or
the oven interior walls.
– there is moisture between the door panes.
Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if it
has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
10
Page 11
Warning and Safety instructions
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is not
supplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to the mains supply by a suitably qualified electrician.
11
Page 12
Warning and Safety instructions
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special connection cable typeH05VV-F (PVC insulated), available from Miele, by a Miele approved service technician or suitably qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard. See "Electrical connection".
During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.
If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture panel (e.g. a door),
ensure that the door is never closed whilst the steam oven is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind a closed furniture panel and cause subsequent damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and the floor. Do not close the door until the steam oven has cooled down completely.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Danger of burning! The steam oven becomes hot when in use.
Exercise care when handling food and trays so as not to burn yourself on the walls of the steam oven, shelf runners, trays, steam and hot food itself. Use oven gloves when placing food in the steam oven, removing it and when adjusting shelves etc. in a hot steam oven. When putting cooking containers into the steam oven or taking them out, take care not to spill the contents.
Danger of burning! There will be some residual hot water in the
steam generator at the end of a cooking process. This will be pumped back into the water container. Take care not to spill the contents when taking the water container out of the appliance.
Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed tins.
Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.
Plastic dishes which are not heat and steam resistant melt at high
temperatures and can damage the appliance. Only use temperature (to 100°C) and steam resistant plastic dishes for steam cooking. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Food which is left in the steam oven can dry out and the escaping
moisture can lead to corrosion in the appliance. Do not leave cooked food in the oven compartment and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion as this could lead to corrosion in the appliance.
Do not leave the appliance door open unnecessarily as someone
may trip over it or be injured by it.
The door can support a maximum load of 8kg. Do not sit on or
lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven compartment. The steam oven could get damaged.
13
Page 14
Warning and Safety instructions
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held mixer, near
the steam oven, ensure that the connection cable doesn't get caught in the door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Microwave function

Please be aware that durations when using microwave power are
often considerably shorter when cooking, reheating and defrosting than when using functions without microwave power. Excessively long cooking times can lead to food drying out and burning or could even cause it to catch fire.
The Microwave function can be used for heating food and
drinks. Do not use the Microwave function for drying flowers, herbs, bread, rolls or other flammable materials which could catch fire and cause injury by burning.
Always cover food when using the Microwave function. It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly
throughout the food being cooked. This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
When heating food and drinks using microwave power, remember
that the heat is created in the food itself, and that the container will normally be cooler. The dish is only warmed by the heat of the food. Before serving, remember to allow a sufficient standing time and then always check the temperature of the food after taking it out of the oven. The temperature of the container is not an indication of the temperature of the food or liquid in it. This is particularly important
when preparing food for babies, children, and the elderly or infirm. Shake or stir baby milk and food thoroughly after heating,
and try it for temperature to ensure that it will not scald the baby.
14
Page 15
Warning and Safety instructions
The Microwave function is not suitable for cleaning or
disinfecting items. Items can get extremely hot and there is a danger of burning when the item is removed from the appliance.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids in sealed containers, jars or
bottles. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed. Otherwise pressure will build up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.
When boiling and in particular when reheating liquids, milk,
sauces etc., using microwave power without a boiling rod, the boiling point of the liquid may be reached without the production of typical bubbles. The liquid does not boil evenly throughout. This so­called 'boiling delay' can cause a sudden build up of bubbles when the container is removed from the oven or shaken. This can lead to the liquid boiling over suddenly and explosively. Danger of scalding and burning! The formation of bubbles can be so strong that the pressure forces the oven door open, with a danger of injury and damage. Before cooking or reheating, thoroughly stir the liquid. Then wait at least 20seconds before removing the container from the oven. During cooking and reheating you can also place a glass rod or similar in the container and use as a boiling rod, if available.
Eggs can be cooked without their shells using microwave power
only if the yolk membrane has been punctured several times first. The pressure could otherwise cause the egg yolk to explode.
Eggs in their shells will explode if cooked with microwave power,
even after taking them out of the oven. They can only be cooked in their shells using the Steam cooking function or in an appropriate Automatic programme. Hard-boiled eggs must not be reheated with microwave power either as they too will explode, even after taking them out of the oven.
Food with a thick skin or peel, such as tomatoes, sausages, jacket
potatoes and eggplants, should be pierced or cut in several places to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from bursting.
15
Page 16
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the Microwave function to heat up cushions or
pads filled with cherry kernels, wheat grains, lavender or gel, such as those used in aromatherapy. These pads can ignite when heated even after they have been removed from the oven.
To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the oven door if smoke
occurs in the oven interior. Cancel the cooking process by switching the appliance off, then switch off at the socket and remove the plug. Do not open the appliance door until the smoke has dispersed.
Dishes with hollow knobs or handles are not suitable for use with
microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used. However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the oven.
Fire hazard! Using microwave power with plastic dishes which are
not microwave safe can cause them to melt and damage the appliance. Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal, aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics, wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper covered wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the foil lid only partially removed (see "Suitable containers for microwave use").
Do not leave the steam oven unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials using the Microwave function. Before using single-use containers, make sure they are suitable for microwave use (see "Suitable containers for microwave use ­Plastics").
Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are
intended for use in normal ovens. These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn, cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
16
Page 17
Warning and Safety instructions
The steam oven can suffer damage when using the
Microwave function if it is empty or incorrectly loaded. For this reason please do not use the Microwave function to pre-heat crockery or to dry herbs and do not start the Microwave function when the steam oven is empty.

Warning and Safety instructions

Cleaning and care

Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this steam oven.
Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to clean the door glass.
The shelf runners can be removed for cleaning purposes (see
"Cleaning and care - Accessories"). Ensure they are correctly fitted after cleaning and never operate the steam oven without the shelf runners fitted.
The shelf runners fit into plastic bushes. Check the bushes
carefully for damage. If the bushes are damaged, do not use any microwave functions until the bushes have been replaced.
Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids
containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Description of the functions

Steam cooking function

Water container

The maximum water level is 1.5litres, the minimum 0.5litre. These levels are indicated on the container. Do not exceed the maximum level.
The amount of water used will depend on the type of food and the duration of cooking. Water will sometimes need to be replenished during the cooking process. Water consumption is increased if the door is opened during cooking.
At the end of the cooking programme hot residual water in the steam generator is pumped back into the water container. The water container must be emptied after each use.
The water container can be removed using the push/pull system: push gently on the water container to remove it.

Temperature

Some functions have a default recommended temperature. This temperature can be altered for the programme in use, or for every time that programme is used (see "Settings ­Recommended temperatures").

Noises

You will hear a pumping sound when the appliance is switched on, during use and after switching it off. This is the sound of water being pumped through the system and is quite normal.
When the steam oven is in use, you will hear a fan noise.

Heating-up phase

During the heating-up phase the display will show the temperature in the cooking compartment as it rises and
Heat-up phase in all programmes except
for Automatic programmes, Menu cooking and Maintenance.
When cooking with steam, the duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the food. In general the heating-up phase will last for approx. 5minutes. The duration will be longer if you are preparing refrigerated or frozen food.

Cooking phase

The cooking phase begins when the set temperature is reached. During the cooking phase, the duration remaining will be shown in the display.

Duration

You can set a duration of between 1minute (00:01) and 10hours (10:00). If the duration exceeds 59minutes, you have to enter it in hours and minutes. Example: Duration 80minutes = 1:20.

Steam reduction

If a cooking temperature above approx. 80°C has been set, the appliance door will automatically open a fraction just before the end of a cooking programme to release some of the steam from the cabinet. Steam reduction appears in the display. The door will then close again automatically.
Steam reduction can be switched off if you wish (see "Settings - Steam reduction"). If switched off, there will be a lot of steam emitted from the cabinet when the door is opened.

Microwave power

How the microwave function works

In the steam oven there is a high­frequency tube called a magnetron. This converts electrical energy into microwaves. These microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the oven interior, and rebound off the metal sides of the oven interior to reach the food from all sides.
microwave energy, start to oscillate
2.5billion times a second. The friction caused by this vibration creates heat, which first starts developing around the outside of the food and then slowly penetrates towards the centre. The moisture, fat and sugar content of food will affect the speed at which it is heated or cooked. The heat is generated in the food itself.

Advantages

Food can generally be cooked without adding much liquid or cooking oil.
Microwaves stop being produced as soon as the cooking process is interrupted or the appliance door is opened. When the appliance is in operation, the closed, sealed door prevents microwaves escaping from the appliance.
In order for microwaves to reach the food, they must be able to penetrate the cooking utensil being used. Microwaves can penetrate porcelain, glass, cardboard and plastics, but not metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils made of metal, or which contain metal, for example in the form of gold or silver trim. The metal reflects the microwaves and this could cause sparking as the microwaves cannot be absorbed.
Microwaves pass through a suitable container and find their way directly into the food. All food contains moisture molecules which, when subjected to

Description of the functions

Selecting containers for microwave use

Microwaves are reflected by metal.
They pass through glass, porcelain, plastic and cardboard.
Fire hazard!
Non-microwave safe dishes used in microwave mode can suffer damage or cause damage to the steam oven.
The material and shape of the containers used affect cooking results and times. Heat distribution is more even in round and oval shaped flat containers than in rectangular containers, providing better results.

Suitable containers for microwave use

Glassware

Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass are ideal for use in the microwave oven.
Exception: Do not use crystal glass as it contains lead which can crack or shatter with microwave power.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a suitable material.
They are absorbed by food.
30
Exception: Do not use porcelain with gold or silver edging, cobalt blue, or items with hollow knobs or handles, as insufficient ventilation may cause a build-up of pressure.

Earthenware

Decorated earthenware is only suitable if the decoration is beneath an all-over glaze.
Page 31
Description of the functions
Danger of burning!
Earthenware can get very hot, and may crack.
Wear oven gloves when handling hot dishes.

Plastics

Plastic containers and plastic disposable containers may only be used with the Microwave function if they have been declared as suitable for microwave use by the manufacturer. To protect the environment, it is best to avoid using single-use containers.
Do not leave the steam oven unattended when reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials.
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a minimum of 110°C. Otherwise the plastic may melt and fuse with the food.
When cooking food with fat, or food containing fat, do not use plastic containers. Use only glass or porcelain.
– Plastic microwave containers
– Plastic "Boil-in-the-bag" bags
Plastic boiling bags can be used for cooking and reheating. They should be pierced beforehand so that steam can escape. This prevents a build-up of pressure and reduces the risk of the bag bursting. There are also special steaming bags available which do not need to be pierced. Please follow instructions given on the packet.
– Roasting bags and tubes
Please follow the manufacturer's instructions when using roasting bags and tubes.
Fire hazard!
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips containing metal parts, or paper ties containing wire. There is a danger that they will ignite when heated.
– Melamine containers
Melamine is not suitable for use in this oven. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and gets hot. When purchasing plasticware, make sure that it is suitable for use in a microwave oven.
These are readily available from retail outlets.
– Styrofoam containers
Styrofoam containers can be used for short, timed warming and reheating of food.
31
Page 32
Description of the functions

Unsuitable containers for microwave use

Dishes with hollow knobs or
handles are not suitable for use with microwave power. Moisture which has gathered in the hollow recesses can cause pressure to build up and the item can explode. If the hollow recess is sufficiently ventilated, the item could be used. However, we recommend that you do not use such dishes in the oven.

Metal

Metal reflects microwaves and obstructs the cooking process.
Do not use metal containers, aluminium, foil, metal cutlery and china with metallic decoration such as gold rims or cobalt blue with the Microwave function.
Transfer ready meals in aluminium foil dishes into a microwave safe container for a more even heat distribution.
Do not use containers where the foil lid has not been completely removed as small pieces of foil can cause sparking.
Do not use the cooking
containers and the rack supplied with microwave power.

Glazes and colours

Some glazes and colours contain metal and are therefore unsuitable for microwave functions.

Wood

Wooden dishes are not suitable. Moisture contained in the wood evaporates when exposed to microwave energy, causing the wood to dry and crack.

Placing a dish in the microwave oven

Insert the condensate tray on the
lowest shelf level.
The dish containing the food should
always be placed in the middle of the condensate tray.
Placing the food directly on the floor of the oven would give unsatisfactory and uneven results as the microwaves would not be able to reach the food from below.
32
Page 33
Description of the functions

Cover

The cover:
– prevents too much steam escaping,
especially when cooking foods which need longer to cook, such as potatoes.
– speeds up the reheating process.
– prevents food from drying out.
– helps keep the oven interior clean.
The cover should not form a seal with the container. If the cover is used with a container which only has a narrow diameter, there might not be enough room for condensation to escape through the holes in the side of the cover. The cover could get too hot and could start to melt.
Do not cook or reheat food or
liquids in sealed containers, jars or bottles using microwave power. With baby bottles, the screw top and teat must be removed. Otherwise pressure builds up which can cause the bottle or container to explode, posing a severe risk of injury.
When using the Microwave
function, always cover the food with a lid or cover made of microwave safe glass or plastic.
These are available from retail outlets.
Alternatively, use a clingfilm recommended for use in a microwave oven (pierce as instructed by the manufacturer). Heat can cause normal clingfilm to distort and fuse with the food.
33
Page 34
Description of the functions

Condensate tray

Using with steam: When using perforated containers, place the condensate tray on the lowest shelf level to collect any drops of liquid and allow them to be removed easily.
Condensation cannot evaporate properly if the condensate tray is positioned on the floor of the oven.
Insert the condensate tray on the lowest shelf level.
Microwave functions: Always use the glass condensate tray on the lowest shelf level to place cooking containers on.

Oven interior lighting

For energy saving reasons, the oven interior lighting has been set at the factory to go out after the programme has begun.
If you want the lighting to remain on during cooking, the relevant factory default setting needs to be changed (see "Settings - Lighting").
If the door is left open at the end of a cooking programme, the oven lighting will switch off automatically after 5minutes.
The lighting can be switched on for 15seconds by pressing the button on the control panel.

Using for the first time
To remove this, clean the oven
interior with a mild solution of washing-up liquid and warm water and then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Setting the water hardness level

The water hardness level of the steam oven is set to Hard at the factory. For trouble-free operation of the steam oven, and to ensure that it is descaled at the appropriate time, it is important to set the water hardness level for your area. The harder the water, the more often the steam oven must be descaled.
Check the hardness of your local
water supply and adjust the water hardness as necessary (see "Settings
- Water hardness").

Setting the correct boiling point for water

Before cooking with the steam oven for the first time, it must be set to the correct boiling point for water in your area. This is determined by the altitude at which you live. This procedure also flushes out the water pipework.
This procedure must be carried out to ensure efficient functioning of your appliance.
Only use cold mains tap water (below 20°C). Never use distilled or
mineral water or other liquids.
Remove the water container and fill it
to the "max" marker.
Push the water container into the
appliance until it connects.
You should then run the Steam cooking
programme at 100°C for 15minutes. Proceed as described in "Operation: Steam cooking".

Setting the correct boiling point for water following a house move

If you move house, the appliance will need to be reset for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by 300m or more. To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and care - Maintenance
- Descaling").

General notes on steam cooking

This section contains general information. You will find more detailed information about particular foods and how to cook them in the other sections.

The advantages of cooking with steam

Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is not immersed in water.
Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food also retains its fresh, original colour.

Suitable containers

Cooking containers

This steam oven is supplied with stainless steel cooking containers. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (see "Optional accessories"). This enables you to choose the most suitable container for the food you are preparing.
It is best to use perforated containers for steam cooking. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers. However, please note the following:
– Containers must be heat-resistant to
100°C and able to withstand hot steam. With plastic containers please check with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use in a steam oven.
– Thick-sided containers made from
porcelain, china or stoneware, for example, are not very suitable for steam cooking. They do not conduct heat well and as a result cooking durations will be considerably longer than those given in the charts.
– Place the cooking containers on the
rack and not on the oven floor.
– Ensure that there is a gap between
the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container.

Condensate tray

When using perforated containers, place the condensate tray on the lowest shelf level to collect any drops of liquid and allow them to be removed easily.
Condensation cannot evaporate properly if the condensate tray is positioned on the floor of the oven.
Insert the condensate tray on the lowest shelf level.
62
Page 63
General notes on steam cooking

Shelf level

You can select any shelf level for cooking containers and the rack. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration.
When cooking with more than one deep cooking container at the same time, offset them to allow steam to circulate properly. If possible, leave a shelf level between the containers.
Always insert cooking containers, the rack and the condensate tray between the rails of the shelf runners so that they cannot tip.

Frozen

The heating-up phase for frozen food is longer than for fresh food. The greater the quantity of frozen food, the longer the heating-up phase.

Temperature

A maximum temperature of 100°C is reached when steam cooking is taking place. Most types of food will cook at this temperature. Some more delicate types of food, such as soft fruit, must be cooked at lower temperatures as otherwise they will burst. More information is given in the relevant section.
Combination with a food warming drawer When a warming drawer which is installed below the steam oven is in use, the oven cavity in the steam oven can reach up to 40°C. If, in this case,
you set a temperature of 40°C, no steam will be produced because the oven cavity is too warm.

Duration

In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More information about any factors which may affect the cooking duration is given in the relevant sections.
The quantity of food does not affect the cooking duration. 1kg of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 500g.
The durations given in the charts are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking duration quoted to start with. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the shorter time, it can be put back in the oven compartment and cooked some more.

Cooking with liquid

When cooking with liquid, only fill the cooking container ²/₃ full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.

Your own recipes

Food and recipes which are prepared in a pot or a pan can also be cooked in the steam oven. The cooking times in the steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be brown or crisp when cooking with steam.

Page 64

Steam cooking

Vegetables

Fresh

Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.

Frozen

Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand unless the vegetables have been frozen together in a block.
To cook frozen vegetables, programme the same time as for fresh ones.
Break up the larger, frozen together pieces. Please refer to the cooking times on the packaging.

Cooking containers

Food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have little or no space between them, will take longer to cook because the steam has less space to work in. For an even result, it is best to use a shallow container for these types of food, and only fill it about 3 - 5 cm deep. When cooking large quantities, divide the food between 2 or 3 shallow containers rather than using one deep one.

Shelf level

When cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container at the same time as cooking other foods in other containers, place the solid tray directly underneath the perforated container to catch any drips and therefore avoid any colour transfer.

Duration

As with conventional methods, the cooking duration when cooking vegetables with steam will depend on the size and how well done you want them. Example: firm potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 17minutes firm potatoes, cut in half = approx. 21minutes

Meat

Fresh

Prepare the meat in the usual way.

Frozen

Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking in the steam oven (see "Special applications - Defrosting with steam").

Preparation

Meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. stewing steak, should be seared in a pan on the cooktop.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the meat, and not on the weight. The thicker the piece of meat, the longer the cooking duration. A piece of meat weighing 500 g which is 10 cm thick will take longer to cook than a piece of meat weighing 500 g which is 5 cm thick.

Useful tips

– Use a perforated container to retain
the flavours when cooking meat. Place a solid container underneath to catch the juices. You can use these to make a gravy or freeze them for later use.
– Boiling chicken, pork rind, meat, ribs
and meat bones can be used to make stock. Place the meat together with some mixed vegetables in a solid cooking container and add cold water. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.

Fish

Fresh

Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet.

Frozen

Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2–5 minutes should be enough.

Preparation

Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm.
It is not necessary to season fish when cooking with steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish its unique flavour.

Cooking containers

If using a perforated container, grease it first or line it with baking paper.

Shelf level

When cooking fish in a perforated container at the same time as cooking other types of food in other containers, place the container with the fish directly above the tray to catch any liquid and so avoid any transfer of tastes to other food.
69
Page 70
Steam cooking
Temperature 85 °C – 90 °C
For gently cooking delicate types of fish, such as flounder.
100 °C
For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g. salmon. Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the fish, and not on the weight. The thicker the fish, the longer the cooking duration. A 3cm thick piece of fish weighing 500g will take longer to cook than a 2 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500g.
The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh will become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart. If you find that the fish is not cooked sufficiently, only cook it for a few minutes more.
When cooking fish in sauce or stock, we recommend that you increase the cooking duration quoted by a few minutes.
– You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish
heads, bones, tails etc. to make a fish stock. Place the fish scraps together with some mixed vegetables in a solid cooking container and add cold water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to 90 minutes. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.
– Blue fish is fish which is cooked in
water and vinegar. It is important not to damage the skin of the fish. This method is suitable for cooking carp, trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Useful tips

– Adding herbs and spices, such as

Menu cooking involves cooking various foods with different cooking times in order to serve them all together in one meal, e.g. Perch with rice and broccoli. Foods are placed in the steam oven at different times so that they are all ready at the same time.

Shelf level

When cooking fish or food with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container, place the perforated container directly above a solid container to avoid any transfer of flavour or colour to other food and to prevent liquid dripping onto food below it.

Temperature

Whole meals should be cooked at a temperature of 100°C as this is the temperature required to cook the majority of foods. Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest temperature when different temperatures are required for different types of food, e.g. 85°C for seabream and 100°C for potatoes.

Duration

If you increase the recommended temperature, shorten the cooking duration by approx. ¹/₃.

Example:

Rice 20 minutes
Rosefish fillet 6 minutes
Broccoli 4 minutes
20minutes minus 6 minutes=14minutes (1st duration: rice)
6minutes minus 4minutes=2minutes (2nd duration: rosefish fillet)
Remaining time=4minutes (3rdduration: broccoli
Cooking durations
Settings 14 min. 2 min. 4 min.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

With this gentle cooking method, food is cooked slowly and at a low, constant temperature in vacuum packaging.
With vacuum cooking, no moisture evaporates during cooking and all nutrients and flavours are retained.
The cooking result has an intensive taste and food is cooked evenly.
Use only fresh food which is in a good condition.
Ensure hygienic conditions and that food has not been out of the refrigerator too long, e.g. during transportation.
Use only heat-stable, boiling­resistant vacuum bags.
Do not cook food in the sales packaging, such as vacuum-packed frozen food as it is possible that the packaging used is not suitable for vacuum cooking.
Do not use the vacuum bag more than once.
Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber system vacuum sealer only.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Important

For an optimum cooking result:
– Use fewer herbs and spices than for
conventional cooking as the influence on the taste of the food is more intensive. You can also prepare the food unseasoned and add seasoning after cooking.
– The cooking duration is reduced
when salt, sugar, and liquids are added.
– The food becomes firmer if acidic
foods, such as lemon or vinegar are added.
– Do not use alcohol or garlic as this
can cause an unpleasant taste.
– Only use vacuum bags that match
the size of the food. If the vacuum bag is too big, too much air may remain inside.
– If you want to cook several pieces of
food in one vacuum bag, put them side by side in the bag.
– Cooking at a lower temperature and
for a longer duration can result in increased residual water in the cooking compartment. This does not affect the cooking result.
– The information on temperature and
duration from sous-vide recipes cannot always be adopted 1:1. Adjust these settings according to the desired level of doneness.
– If you want to cook food in several
vacuum bags at once, put the bags side by side on the shelf.
– The cooking durations depend on the
thickness of the food.
– With higher temperatures and/or
longer cooking durations, a lack of water may occur. Check the display from time to time.
– Keep the door closed during the
cooking process. Opening the door extends the cooking process and can change the cooking result.
85

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Useful tips

– To reduce preparation times, you can
vacuum food 1–2days before cooking. Store the vacuumed food in the refrigerator at a maximum of 3°C. To maintain quality and taste, the food must be cooked after 2 days at the latest.
– Freeze liquids such as marinades
before vacuum-sealing to prevent them from escaping from the vacuum bag.
– Fold the edges of the vacuum bag
outwards for filling in order to obtain clean, perfect weld seams.
– If you do not want to eat the food
directly after cooking, put it in iced water to cool down completely. Then store it at a maximum of 3°C. In this way, you can maintain quality and taste while extending the life of the food. Exception: Consume poultry immediately after cooking.
– Use the brine or marinade of
vegetables, fish, or meat to make a sauce.
– Serve the food on pre-warmed
plates.
– After cooking, cut the vacuum bag on
all sides for easier access to the food.
– Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish
(such as salmon) before serving for a roasted aroma.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Procedure

Rinse the food with cold water and
dry it.
Place the food in a vacuum bag and
add spices or liquid if desired.
Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber
system vacuum sealer.
For optimum cooking results, insert
the rack on shelf level2.
Place the vacuum-sealed food on the
rack (next to each other if there are several bags).
Insert the condensate tray on the
lowest shelf level.
Select Oven functions.Select Sous-vide.Change the recommended
temperature if necessary.
Set the cooking duration. Any time
between 1minute and 10hours can be set.
Select further settings if required (see
"Operation: Steam cooking ­Advanced operation").

Possible causes for poor results

The vacuum bag has opened:
– The weld seam was not clean or
stable enough and came undone.
– The bag was damaged by a sharp
bone.
The food has an unpleasant or strange taste:
– Incorrect storage of the food; the
food was kept out of the refrigerator for too long.
– The food was contaminated with
bacteria before it was vacuum sealed.
– Too much of ingredients such as
spices were added.
– The bag or weld seam were not in
perfect order.
– The vacuum was insufficient.
– The food was not eaten or chilled
immediately after cooking.
Confirm with OK.

Reheating

Reheat brassica vegetables, e.g. kohlrabi and cauliflower, only in combination with a sauce. If reheated without a sauce, these vegetables can have an unpleasant aftertaste and may develop a grey-brown colour.
Foods with a short cooking time and those which have a different degree of doneness when reheated, e.g. fish, are not suited to being reheated.

Preparation

Immediately after cooking, place the food in ice cold water and leave for approximately one hour. The rapid cooling inhibits continued cooking of the food. This means the ideal degree of doneness of the food remains as it is. Store the food afterwards in the refrigerator at max. 3°C.
Please note that the quality of food deteriorates the longer it is stored.
We recommend storing food in the refrigerator for no longer than five days before reheating it.

Special applications

Reheating with steam

Use the Sous-vide function to reheat food already cooked using this function (see "Sous-vide ­Reheating").
The steam oven is very effective at reheating food gently, without drying it out or cooking it further. The food reheats evenly and does not need to be stirred during the reheating process.
You can reheat individual dishes or plated meals which have been prepared previously (e.g. meat, vegetables and potatoes).

Suitable containers

Small quantities can be reheated on a plate, larger quantities should be placed in a cooking container.

Duration

The number of plates or containers has no bearing on the duration.
The durations listed in the chart relate to an average portion per plate/ container. Increase the duration for larger quantities.

Useful tips

– Do not reheat large items, such as a
joint of roast meat, whole. Divide it into portions and reheat these as plated meals.
– Compact items, such as stuffed
capsicum or roulades, should be cut in half.
– Reheat sauces separately.
Exceptions: Food that is prepared in sauces, e.g. goulash.

Procedure

Cover the food with a deep plate, a
lid, or with clingfilm that is resistant to temperatures up to 100°C and to steam.
Then place the plate on the rack in
the oven.

Defrosting with steam

It is much quicker to defrost items in the steam oven than at room temperature.

Temperature

60°C is the best temperature for defrosting. Exceptions: 50°C for minced meat and game.

Before and after defrosting

Remove all packaging before defrosting. Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and cakes in their packaging as otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft.
Allow defrosted food to stand at room temperature after removing it from the oven. The standing time is necessary to allow the even distribution of heat.

Cooking containers

Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Do not use the liquid from defrosted meat or poultry. Pour it away and wash the container, the sink and your hands.

Useful tips

– Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2–5 minutes should be enough.
– When defrosting food which has
frozen together, e.g. berries, chops, fish fillets etc. separate it about half­way through the defrosting time.
– Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
– Defrost frozen ready meals according
to the instructions on the packaging.

Settings

Temperature: see chart Defrosting duration: see chart
Use a perforated container with a solid container underneath it when defrosting food which will drip, such as poultry. This way food will not be lying in defrosted liquid.
Foods which don't drip can be defrosted in a solid cooking container.

Bottling

Only use unblemished, fresh produce which is in good condition.

Glass jars

Use clean glass jars and accessories and check them for any defects. Glass jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a rubber seal are suitable.
Make sure that all the glass jars are the same size so that bottling is carried out evenly.
After you have filled the jars with the bottled produce, clean the glass rims with a clean cloth and hot water and then seal the jars.

Fruit

Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but thoroughly and allow it to drain. Take great care when cleaning soft fruit as it is very delicate and squashes easily.
Remove any peel, stalks, cores or stones. Cut up large fruit. For example, cut apples into slices.
If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g. plums, apricots) without removing the stones, pierce the fruit several times with a fork or wooden skewer as otherwise it will burst.

Fill volume

Fill the glass jars with produce up to a maximum of 3cm below the rim. Do not pack it down as this will damage the cell walls of the produce. Tap the jar gently onto a cloth to help distribute the contents evenly. Fill the jars with liquid. The produce must be completely covered.
Use a sugar solution for fruit and a salt or vinegar solution for vegetables.

Meat and sausages

Briefly fry or cook the meat before bottling. Use the juices with some added water, or the broth in which the meat was cooked, as the liquid content of the jars. Make sure there is no grease on the rim of the jars. When bottling sausages, only fill the jars to halfway as the meat will rise during the bottling process.

Useful tips

– Make use of residual heat by leaving
the jars in the oven for 30minutes after it has switched off.
– Then cover the jars with a cloth and
allow to cool for approx. 24hours.

Vegetables

Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.
Green vegetables should be blanched before bottling to help them retain their colour (see "Special applications ­Blanching").

Extracting juice

This appliance is ideal for extracting juice from soft, firm and hard fruit.
It is best to use overripe fruit as the riper the fruit, the greater the quantity of juice produced. Very ripe fruit will also produce a more intense flavour.

Preparation

Sort and rinse the fruit, and cut out any blemishes.
Remove the stalks from grapes and morello cherries as these are bitter. The stalks do not need to be removed from strawberries, raspberries etc.
Cut larger fruit into chunks approx. 2cm in size. The harder the fruit, the smaller the pieces should be.

Useful tips

– Try experimenting with mild and tart
flavours. For example, mix apples with elderberries.

Procedure

Put the prepared fruit (cleaned,
washed, chopped etc.) into a perforated cooking container.
Place a solid container or the
condensate tray underneath to catch the juice.

Settings

Oven functions | Steam cooking
Temperature: 100°C Duration: 40–70minutes
– Adding sugar will increase the
quantity of juice produced and improve the flavour. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar and leave to absorb for a few hours before juicing. For 1kg of sweet fruit add 50–100g of sugar, and for 1kg of tart fruit add 100– 150g of sugar.
– If you wish to bottle the juice rather
than consume it straight away, pour it whilst hot into hot, sterilised bottles up to the rim, and then seal immediately with sterilised rubber tops.
