Descaling For descaling the water system and the evaporator dish
Í
For proving dough (at 35 °C)
Cooked food is gently reheated. The steam ensures that the food does not dry
out.
The moisture gently transfers the heat to the food. The food does not dry out or
lose shape.
(see section: Descaling)
Automatic calibration
The boiling temperature of water depends on the air pressure.
During calibration, the appliance is adapted to the pressure
conditions in the location where it is installed. This happens
automatically when you first use the appliance (see section:
First use). More steam develops than usual.
It is important that the appliance steams without interruption for
20 minutes at 100 °C. Do not open the appliance door during
this time.
If the appliance was not able to calibrate itself automatically (for
example, because the appliance door was opened), the
calibration process is carried out again during the next cooking
operation.
Your accessories
The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for
making many dishes. Ensure that you always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
Accessories
Use only the accessories supplied with the product or available
from the after-sales service. They are specially designed for
your appliance.
Your appliance is equipped with the following accessories:
After moving house
So that the appliance automatically adjusts itself to its new
location, you must reset the appliance to the factory settings
(see section: Basic settings) and repeat the initial start-up
process (see section: First use).
After a power cut
The appliance saves the calibration settings even in the event
of a power cut or disconnection from the mains. Recalibration
is not necessary.

Notes about the programmes
All programmes are designed for cooking on one level.
The cooking result may vary according to the size and quality of
the food.
Ovenware
Use the suggested ovenware. All meals have been tested using
this ovenware. The cooking result may change if you use
different ovenware.
When cooking in the perforated cooking container, also insert
the solid cooking container at level 1. Dripping liquid is caught.
Amount/weight
Do not fill the food more than 4 cm deep in the accessories.
The automatic programmes require the weight of the food. The
total weight must be within the specified weight range.
Cooking time
After the programme is started the cooking time is displayed. It
may change during the first 10 minutes, as the heating-up time
depends, among other things, on the temperature of the food
and the water.
Prepare vegetables P1 P6
Do not season vegetables until after cooking.
Prepare cereal products/lentils P07 P10
Weigh the food and add the correct ratio of water:
Basmati rice 1:1.5
Couscous 1:1
Brown rice 1:1.5
Lentils 1:2
Enter the weight excluding liquid.
Stir cereal products after cooking. The remaining water is
quickly absorbed.
Steam chicken breast P11
Do not place chicken breasts on top of each other in the
ovenware.
Steam fish P12 - P13
When preparing fish, grease the perforated cooking container.

possible.
Prepare fruit compote P14
The programme is only suitable for fruits with stones and pips.
Weigh the fruit and add approximately
sugar and spices according to taste.
Prepare rice pudding P15
Weigh the rice and add 2.5 times the amount of milk. Ensure
the level of rice and milk in the accessory is no higher than
2.5 cm. Enter the weight of the rice pudding excluding liquid.
Stir after cooking. The remaining milk is quickly absorbed.
Prepare yoghurt P16
Heat the milk to 90 °C on the hob. Then leave to cool to 40 °C.
If you are using UHT milk, you do not need to heat it.

or the corresponding amount of yoghurt culture into the milk.
Pour the mixture into clean jars and seal them.
After preparation, leave the glass jars to cool in the refrigerator.
Sterilise bottles P18
Always clean baby bottles with a bottle brush immediately after
feeding. Then clean them in the dishwasher.
Place the bottles in the perforated cooking container so that
they do not touch one another.
Dry the bottles with a clean cloth after sterilising. The process
corresponds to normal sterilisation by boiling.

Tips for saving energy
■ Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the recipe or
in the operating instructions table.
■ Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible while
the food is cooking.
■ When steaming, you can cook on several levels at the same
time. When preparing foods with different cooking times,
those with the longest cooking time should be placed in the
oven first.
21
Tables and tips
Steaming is a particularly gentle way of cooking food. The
steam surrounds the dish thereby preventing a loss of nutrients
from the food. Cooking takes place without excess pressure.
As a result, the shape, colour and typical aroma of the dishes
are retained.
The tables contain a selection of dishes which are particularly
suitable for your steam oven. You can find out which operating
mode, accessories, temperature and cooking time are best to
select. Unless otherwise stated, the information given applies to
inserting accessories when the appliance is cold.
Accessories
Use the accessories provided.
When steaming in the perforated cooking container, always
insert the solid cooking container underneath. Dripping liquid is
caught.
Cookware
When using ovenware, always place it in the middle of the
perforated cooking container.
Ovenware must be heat and steam resistant. Cooking times are
increased if thick-walled ovenware is used.
Food which would normally be prepared in a bain marie should
always be covered with foil (e.g.when melting chocolate).
Cooking time and quantity
The cooking times when steaming depend on the item size, but
do not depend on the total quantity. The appliance can steam
food to a maximum of 2 kg.
Follow the unit sizes given in the tables. The cooking time is
reduced for smaller pieces and increased for larger ones.
Cooking time is also influenced by the quality and ripeness of
the food. The values quoted can therefore only serve as a
guideline.
Distributing food evenly
Always distribute the food evenly in the ovenware. It will not
cook evenly if the layers are of different depths.
Pressure-sensitive food
When layering delicate foods in the cooking container, do not
pile them too high. It is better to use two containers.
Cooking a menu
With steam, you can cook a whole menu at once, without the
different flavours mixing. Place the food with the longest
cooking time in the appliance first and delay the rest until the
appropriate time. This means that all the food will be ready at
the same time.
The overall cooking time is extended with menu cooking, as a
little steam escapes each time the appliance door is opened
and has to be reheated.
Vegetables
Place the vegetables in the perforated cooking container and
insert at level 3. Always insert the solid cooking container
underneath at level 1. Dripping liquid is caught.

Defrosting
When freezing, lay the food as flat as possible and in portionsized pieces at -18 °C. Do not freeze excessively large
quantities. Once defrosted, food will not keep for as long and
spoils more quickly than fresh food.
Leave the food to defrost in the freezer bag, on a plate or on
the perforated cooking container. Always insert the solid
cooking container underneath. The food is then not left lying in
the defrost water and the cooking compartment remains clean.
Use the Defrost operating mode.
If necessary, the meal can occasionally be split apart or pieces
which have already defrosted can be removed from the
appliance.
After defrosting, allow the food to stand for a further 5 -
15 minutes to come up to room temperature.

: Health risk!
When defrosting food from animal sources, you must remove
the liquid that escapes during defrosting. It must never come
into contact with other food. Bacteria could be transferred.
After defrosting, operate the steam oven for 15 minutes at
100 °C using
Defrost meat
Allow pieces of meat which are to be breadcrumbed to defrost
to the point where seasoning and breadcrumbs adhere to the
meat.
Defrosting poultry
Remove from packaging before defrosting. You must tip the
defrost liquid away.

Preserve
Preserve food which is as fresh as possible. When foods are
stored for a relatively long period, their vitamin content is
reduced and they cook more readily.
Only use fruit and vegetables which are in perfect condition.
The following foods cannot be preserved with your appliance:
Contents of tins, meat, fish or pastry dough.
Check preserving jars, rubber rings, clips and springs.
Clean rubber rings and jars thoroughly with hot water. The
"Sterilise bottles" programme is also suitable for cleaning
glasses.
Place the jars in the perforated cooking container. They must
not be in contact with each other.
After the specified cooking time, open the appliance door.
Do not remove the preserving jars from the appliance until they
have completely cooled down.
