Progress display

The progress display provides you with a quick overview of the cooking time as it counts down. It appears as a line under the status bar after the cooking time starts. The line begins on the left and becomes longer as the cooking time progresses. The line reaches the right-hand extremity of the display once the cooking time has elapsed.

Settings areas

The two settings areas show suggested values that you can change. The settings area which is currently active has a light background with black writing. You can make changes here.

You can use the

¾ and ¿ navigation buttons to switch from one

settings area to the next one. The

¾ and ¿ arrows in the

settings areas show you which way you can go with the navigation buttons.

Once you start the oven, both settings areas are dark with light writing.

Heating indicator

The heating indicator displays the rising temperature in the cooking compartment.

The bars do not appear when settings are made for cleaning.

You can use the

± button to check the current heating

temperature when heating up. Due to thermal inertia, the temperature displayed may be slightly different to the actual temperature inside the oven.

Residual heat

The temperature indicator shows the residual heat in the cooking compartment when the appliance is switched off. If the last bar is filled, the temperature in the cooking compartment is approximately 300 °C. Once the temperature has dropped to approximately 60 °C, the display goes out.

Types of heating

You can use the " button (Types of heating) to set your appliance for various different applications.

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.

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 can 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, always insert the baking tray 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. With individual pieces, always enter the weight of the largest. 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.

Programme tables

Follow the instructions for the programmes.

Stir in one to two teaspoons of natural yoghurt per 100 ml milk, or the corresponding amount of yoghurt culture into the milk. Pour the mixture into clean jars and seal them.

After preparation, leave the glasses to cool in the refrigerator.

Reheat

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 in 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.

All defrost programmes apply to raw food.

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 the Steam type of heating.

Defrosting fish fillet Do not place the fish fillets on top of each other.

Defrosting whole poultry Remove the packaging before defrosting. Leave the poultry to stand after defrosting. With large poultry (e.g. small turkeys), you can remove the giblets after approximately 30 minutes standing time.

Defrost meat With this programme you can defrost individual joints of meat.

Only thaw fruit (not defrost) If you only wish to thaw the fruit slightly, you can make an individual adjustment to the cooking result.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

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.

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 overpressure. 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 type of heating, 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.

Compote:

Weigh the fruit and add approximately

Y the amount in water,

and add sugar and spices according to taste.

Rice pudding 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. Stir after cooking. The remaining milk is quickly absorbed.

Yoghurt 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.

Stir in one to two teaspoons of natural yoghurt per 100 ml milk, 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.

Reheating food

Using Reheat, dishes can be gently reheated. They taste and look like they have been freshly prepared.

Defrosting

Use the Defrost type of heating.

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 the Steam type of heating.

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.

Proving dough

When the Proving type of heating is used, dough proves considerably more quickly than at room temperature.

You may select any shelf position you wish for the wire rack or place the wire rack carefully on the cooking compartment floor. N.B.: Do not scratch the cooking compartment floor.

Stand the dough bowl on the wire rack. Do not cover the dough.

Juicing

Before juicing, place the berries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Leave to stand for at least one hour to draw out the juice.

Add the berries to the perforated cooking container and insert at level 3. Insert the solid cooking container 1 at level to catch the juice.

Finally, place the berries in a cloth and squeeze out the rest of the juice.

Preserving

Preserve food which is as fresh as possible. When foods are stored for a relatively long period, their vitamin content is reduced and they ferment and spoil more easily.

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.

Frozen products

Observe the instructions on the packaging. The cooking times indicated apply to dishes placed in a cold

cooking compartment.
