5.6 Food probe temperature
Only use the supplied food probe.
Do not clean the food probe in the dishwasher. Always keep the plug clean.
The food probe is used to measure the temperature inside the food (referred to as the
food probe temperature). As soon as the food reaches the target temperature (the food
probe temperature that should be attained at the end of the cooking process), operation
stops automatically. It is also possible to simply measure the food probe temperature
without stopping operation.
The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to
get a correct reading of the food probe temperature.
The optimal target temperature is dependent on the cut of meat and on the degree
of doneness.

6.3 Vacuisine *
* Depending on the software version
With Vacuisine, meat, fish, vegetables and fruit can be prepared sous vide. The vacuum-packed food is gently steamed. The food probe temperature can be monitored
with the food probe. The food probe temperature is the set cooking space temperature.
This ensures that the food is cooked to the same degree of doneness throughout.
Temperature range 30–95 °C
Recommended value 60 °C
Level 1 to 4
Recommended maximum cooking time 48 hours
The cooking space is heated simultaneously by steam and hot air. The food is heated or
cooked by steam.
Tips for an optimal result
▪ Only use fresh food. This applies to meat and fish in particular. Food that has already
been kept for some time has a higher bacterial content and is therefore unsuitable for
Vacuisine.
▪ Meat quality: Both lean (e.g. fillet) and marbled, more sinewy (e.g. stewing meat and
belly pork) cuts of meat and can be prepared optimally using Vacuisine.
Preparing the food
▪ Vacuum seal the food. For this, see the tips in the operating instructions for the va-
cuum drawer, on the homepage or in the recipe brochure.
▪ To monitor the food probe temperature of the meat with the food probe, the spot
where the food probe punctures the vacuum bag must be sealed with a sealing pad
(see page 51). This ensures that the vacuum is maintained in the bag.
26
6 GourmetGuide
▸ Attach a sealing pad to the bag con-
taining the vacuumed food, having
first ensured that the bag is clean and
dry.
▸ Insert the food probe through the seal-
ing pad and the bag, and into the
meat. The tip of the food probe should
be inserted into the centre of the thickest end of the meat.
Selecting and starting Vacuisine
▸ Put the perforated cooking tray into the cooking space and place the vacuum-sealed
food in it.
Ensure that the bags are adjacent and not overlapping so that the steam can circulate and cook the food evenly.
The filled water tank must be in position in the water tank compartment.
If the desired cooking time is longer than 10 hours, place the stainless steel tray
underneath the perforated cooking tray.
▸ Plug the food probe into the appliance, if necessary.
▸ If the appliance is switched off: first press the adjusting knob.
▸ Press the touch button.
▸ Select .
▸ Make the desired settings.
▸ If a cooking time of 10–48 hours is required, use the timer (see page 19) only to
check the cooking time. «Vacuisine» will continue to run until interrupted manually.
The cooking time can be monitored with the timer.
▸ To start Vacuisine, select .
With «Vacuisine», the food probe only serves to monitor the food probe temperature. It is not possible to set the food probe temperature. If the food probe is
plugged in for monitoring, an acoustic signal is emitted when the core temperature
of the meat is roughly the same as the temperature of the cooking space.
Monitoring the food probe temperature using the food probe temperature
▸ When the food probe temperature and the cooking space temperature are roughly the
same:
– an acoustic signal is emitted.
– «Food has reached food probe temperature.» appears in the display.
– the meat is cooked. The operation is not cancelled.
– the meat can be left in the appliance for up to an hour.
▸ If the cooking time (not timer!) is accidentally set too short and is up before the food
probe temperature has been reached:
– the operation is not cancelled.
– an acoustic signal is emitted.
– «Food has not yet reached food probe temperature. Operation will continue.» ap-
pears in the display.

6.4 BakeOmatic
BakeOmatic comprises applications for different food groups. The size and shape of
the food are recognized and the duration and cooking space climate are adjusted automatically. BakeOmatic is suitable for the following foods and dishes:
Fresh aperitif nibbles Frozen pizza (F) *
Frozen aperitif nibbles (F) * Flan
Gratin Bread
Soufflé / sweet baked dish Plaited bread

Braising meat Loaf cake
Fresh pizza
* Depending on the software version
Degree of browning
For certain food categories, the degree of browning can be adjusted by selecting the
«lightly browned», «medium browned» or «well browned» setting.
When used for frozen products, the approximate duration indicated on the packaging must be selected instead of the degree of browning. Frozen products are
prepared in a variety of ways.
Duration
When BakeOmatic starts, sensors determine the optimum duration. The effective duration
is displayed after about 10–15 minutes.
Before starting, the cooking space must have cooled down and be dry in order to
determine the optimum duration.
The appliance door must not be opened whilst the duration is being determined.
Preheating
In the case of the «Flan» food group, after starting, separate preheating takes place
first. Put the food in after preheating has ended.
Selecting and starting BakeOmatic
The filled water tank must be in position in the water tank compartment.

play.
The appliance door must not be opened whilst the duration is being determined.
Otherwise, the optimal duration and temperature will not be calculated correctly.
6.5 Professional baking
With professional baking, the cold cooking space is heated by a steam phase
(about 10 minutes) and a hot air phase, which follows automatically. This makes yeast
and puff pastries light and airy while also forming a nice, shiny crust. «Proofing» allows
you to proof a large batch of dough or pre-prepared portions at optimal temperature and
humidity levels.
Professional baking has the following range of uses:
Bread
Plaited bread
Puff pastry
Proofing
The appliance door must not be opened during the steam phase, as this would allow cold air to stream in, extending the steam phase and oversteaming the bread.
The bread would come out flatter as a result.
Tips
▪ Allow bread, bread buns and other yeast pastries to proof for about 15 minutes after
forming into shape. Place on a stainless steel tray, which has been lined with baking
paper, put it into the cold cooking space and bake.
▪ The adjustable temperature corresponds to that of the hot air phase. The temperature
during the steam phase is preset.
▪ For a nice, crispy crust: the smaller the item to be baked, the higher the temperature.
The optimum temperature for bread buns is generally higher than for a single loaf of
bread.
▪ When using «Plaited bread», we recommend brushing the shaped dough with
egg wash.
Selecting and starting professional baking
▸ Put in the food.
▸ If the appliance is switched off, first press the adjusting knob.
▸ Press the touch button.

6.6 Soft roasting
How it functions
The soft roasting function allows high-quality cuts of meat to be prepared gently. You
can select exactly when the cooking process is complete, irrespective of the weight and
thickness of the meat. The temperature is automatically regulated.
The cooking time can be set to between 2½ and 4½ hours for «Soft roasting
seared» or between 1½ and 2½hours for «Soft roasting with steam».
Tips for an optimal result
▪ Take the meat out of the refrigerator some 30–60 minutes before soft roasting.
▪ Weight of meat:
– Soft roasting seared: 500–2000g
– Soft roasting with steam: 500–1500g
▪ Meat food probe temperature: up to 90°C
▪ Meat thickness: at least 4cm
▪ Quality: lean, high-quality meat

«Soft roasting seared»
▸ Season or marinate the meat.
Remove any marinade made with herbs, mustard, etc. from the meat before searing. These ingredients burn easily.
▸ Salt the meat immediately before searing.
▸ Briefly sear the meat all over for no longer than 5minutes.
▸ Then place the meat in a glass or porcelain roasting dish.
If you do not intend to sear the meat until after the soft roasting, lower the recommended target temperature by around 3–4°C.
▸ Insert the food probe into the meat so that the tip is in the centre of the thickest part.
The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to
get a correct reading of the food probe temperature. The temperature inside the
meat is crucial for optimal results at the end of cooking.
▸ Put the wire shelf at level 2 and place the dish on it.
▸ Insert the food probe plug into the socket.
▸ Start «Soft roasting seared» (see page 31).
«Soft roasting with steam»
For «Soft roasting with steam», the meat is cooked gently with steam. Since steam
transfers energy better, shorter cooking times and thus energy savings are possible. As
steam produces condensate, more residual water is left in the cooking space at the end
of the cooking process than with «Soft roasting seared».
▸ Insert the food probe into the meat so that the tip is in the centre of the thickest part.
The food probe must be inserted as far into the middle of the meat as possible to
get a correct reading of the food probe temperature. The temperature inside the
meat is crucial for optimal results at the end of cooking.
▸ Push the stainless steel tray into level 1 and the perforated cooking tray with the meat
into level 2.
The perforated cooking tray allows the condensate to drain and so prevents the
meat from overcooking.
Tip: If you would like to add more flavour to the meat, lay it on a bed of fresh herbs
or hay.
▸ Insert the food probe plug into the socket.
▸ Start «Soft roasting with steam» (see page 31).
▸ After soft roasting, gently sear the meat all over for a total of 4–6minutes.
▸ After searing, wrap the whole piece of meat in aluminium foil and leave it covered for
about 5minutes.
▸ Cut the meat and serve immediately.
As the meat is only seared after soft roasting for optical reasons, the recommended target temperature is 4°C lower than for «Soft roasting seared».
Selecting and starting soft roasting
The longer the meat is cooked, the more tender and succulent it becomes. This
applies particularly for thicker pieces of meat.
The target temperature cannot be changed once soft roasting has started.

11.8 Descaling
How it functions
Whenever steam is produced, depending on the hardness of the local water supply (i.e.
the limescale content of the water), limescale is deposited in the boiler.
The appliance automatically detects and indicates when descaling is necessary.
– After pressing the touch button and finishing a cooking process, the following appears in the display:
Would you like to descale the appliance now?
You must accompany the process.
We recommend descaling the appliance whenever the warning appears in the display. Continued to descale the appliance will likely impair its functions or cause
damage to the appliance. Descaling takes about 45 minutes.
Descaling interval
The time interval between descaling depends on the hardness of the water and frequency of use. If steaming 4× 30 minutes per week, the appliance must be descaled –
depending on water hardness – roughly as follows:
Water hardness Descale after about
Hard 5 months
Medium 8 months
Soft 12 months
Read remaining operating time
The remaining steam operating time until the next descaling process can be read in the
user settings under «Descaling».
