Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
▶ Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so.

  • Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used by up to 20%.
    Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins.

  • These types of baking tin absorb the heat particularly well.
    Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.

  • This maintains the temperature in the cooking compartment and eliminates the need for the appliance to reheat.

When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel.

  • The cooking compartment is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake.
    If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.

  • There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the dish.
    Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

  • Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated.
    Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.

  • This saves the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.

Note:
The appliance requires:

  • A maximum of 2 W in networked standby mode
  • A maximum of 1 W when the appliance is not connected to the network, with the display switched on
  • A maximum of 0.5 W when the appliance is not connected to the network, with the display switched off

Wiping down the cooking compartment
ATTENTION!
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking compartment leads to corrosion.
▶ After using the cleaning aid, wipe the cooking compartment clean and allow it to dry fully.
Requirement: The cooking compartment must have cooled down.

  1. Open the appliance door and remove the remaining water with an absorbent sponge cloth.

  2. Clean the smooth surfaces in the cooking compartment with a dish cloth or a soft brush. Remove stubborn food remnants using a stainless steel scouring pad.

  3. Remove limescale with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
    Then wipe with clean water and rub dry with a soft cloth (including under the door seal).

  4. If there is any stubborn dirt that you are unable to remove, run the cleaning aid again once the cooking compartment has cooled down.

  5. Leave the cooking compartment to dry with the appliance door open for approx. 1 hour.

19.3 Descaling
To ensure that your appliance continues to operate correctly, it must be descaled regularly.
How frequently you need to run the descaling programme will depend on the water hardness and how many times you have used the steam function. The appliance indicates when only another five or fewer steam-assisted operations are possible. If you do not carry out the descaling, you can no longer set any operation with steam.
Descaling comprises several steps and takes approx. 70–95 minutes:

  • Descaling (approx. 55–70 minutes)
  • First rinse cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes)
  • Second rinse cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes)

For reasons of hygiene, the descaling programme must be run in full. If descaling is interrupted, you can no longer set any operation. To ensure that the appliance is ready for operation again, carry out two rinse cycles.

Preparing descaling
ATTENTION!
The length of time for which the descaler is left to work is based on the recommended, liquid descaler. Other descalers may damage the appliance.
▶ Only use the liquid descaler recommended by us for the descaling programme.
If descaling solution comes into contact with the control panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them.
▶ Remove descaling solution immediately with water.

  1. Mix the descaling solution:
    ‒ 200 ml liquid descaler
    ‒ 400 ml water

  2. Open the control panel.

  3. Remove the water tank and pour the descaling solution into it.

  4. Once the descaling solution has been poured into the water tank, slide the tank back in.

  5. Close the control panel.

How it works

Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types of food as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to your appliance.

26.1 General cooking tips
Please take note of the following information when cooking all types of food.

  • The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with.
  • The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. Do not place accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.
  • Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

26.2 Baking tips

  • Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.

  • Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.
    Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware and it browns more on top.

  • If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal pan, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at level 2.

  • The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.

ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage.
▶ Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot.
▶ Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.

Shelf positions
If you are using the CircoTherm hot air heating function, you can choose between shelf positions 1, 2,3 and 4.

Notes

  • Items that are placed in the appliance on baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
  • If you opt for steam-assisted cooking, you can only cook on one level.

26.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips

  • The recommended settings are for fridge-temperature food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.
  • Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or skin-side down.
  • Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after approx. ½ to ⅔ of the specified time.
  • The meat probe allows you to cook with absolute precision. Please take note of the important information on using it correctly. → Page 19

Calculating the cooking time, e.g. 20+35:

  • To calculate the cooking time, assume 20 minutes per 500 g of meat. Then add an extra 35 minutes to that figure.
  • For 1.5 kg, the cooking time would therefore be 95 minutes.

Cooking time range, e.g. 10-15:

  • Your food will be ready within the specified range of time (in minutes).

Roasting on the wire rack
Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example, or multiple individual pieces at the same time.

  • Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
  • Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire rack.
  • To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan, with the wire rack inside it, into the cooking compartment at the specified shelf height.
  • Add up to ½ litre of water to the universal pan, depending on the size and type of food that you want to roast.
    You can make a sauce from the juices that are collected. This also means that less smoke is produced and the cooking compartment does not become as dirty.

Roasting in cookware
If you cover the cookware when you cook your food, this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.

General information about roasting in cookware

  • Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware.
  • Place the cookware on the wire rack.
  • Glass cookware is best.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your roasting dishes.

Roasting in uncovered cookware

  • Use a deep roasting dish.
  • If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can use the universal pan.

Roasting in covered cookware

  • Use a suitable lid that seals well.
  •  When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm between the food and the lid. The meat may expand.

WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.
▶ Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can escape away from you.
▶ Keep children away from the appliance.

Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
The “Grill” heating function is good for cooking thinner pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drumsticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting bread.
Circo-roasting is very well suited to cooking whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork with crackling.

  • When grilling several food items, choose pieces that are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.
  • Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.
  • To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at least one level below the wire rack.

Notes

  • The grill element switches on and off continuously.
    This is normal. The temperature that you set determines how frequently this occurs.

  • Smoke may be produced when grilling.

26.4 Cooking instructions for ready meals

  • The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and irregularities are sometimes already present on the raw product.
  • Do not use frozen products that are covered with a thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.
  • Distribute foods that are in the form of separate pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so that they are spread out flat and evenly on the accessory. Leave a little space between the individual pieces.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.

26.5 Steaming
Cook dishes gently. The food remains particularly succulent.
In contrast to steam-assisted cooking, the meat does not become crispy on the outside.

  • Use open, heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for cooking with steam.
  • The perforated steam container (size XL) is the best option here. To catch any liquid that drips down, slide in the universal pan one level below in the cooking compartment. You can also use a glass tray and place this onto the wire rack.
  • Cover food that can normally be cooked in a water bath, with film, e.g. with cling film.
  • You do not need to turn the food.
  • For a different flavour, you can sear the meat, poultry or fish before steaming. Reduce the cooking time.
  • Larger pieces require a longer heating-up time and a longer cooking time.
  • If you are using several pieces which are the same weight, the appliance’s heating-up time is increased. The cooking time remains the same.
  • In the main part of the instruction manual, you can find information on how to set the steam function. → “Steam”, Page 14

Vegetables on several levels
You can easily cook more than one type of food or even whole menus, e.g. broccoli and potatoes, on two levels.

Rice or cereals

  • Add water or liquid in the indicated ratio.
    For example, this means 1:1.5 for 100 g of rice, 150 ml liquid.

26.7 Special cooking methods and other applications
Information and recommended settings for special cooking methods and other applications, e.g. slow cooking or preserving.

Slow cooking
Cook prime cuts of meat slowly at a low temperature, e.g. tender cuts of beef, veal, lamb or poultry.
Low temperature cooking poultry or meat
Note: When using the low temperature cooking type of heating, you cannot delay the start of the programme by setting an end time.

Requirement:  The cooking compartment is cold.

  1. Use fresh, clean, hygienic meat without bones.

  2. Place the cookware onto the wire rack at level 2 in the cooking compartment.

  3. Preheat the cooking compartment and cookware for approx. 15 minutes.

  4. Sear the meat on all sides on the hob at a very high heat.

  5. Immediately place the meat into the pre-warmed cookware in the cooking compartment.
    To ensure that the climate in the cooking compartment remains constant, keep the cooking compartment door closed during low temperature cooking.

  6. After low temperature cooking, remove the meat from the cooking compartment.

Tips for slow cooking
Here you will find tips for achieving good results when slow cooking food.

Issue Tip

Sous-vide
Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking in a vacuum at low temperatures between 50 and 95  C and in 100% steam.
Sous-vide cooking is a gentle method of cooking meat, fish, vegetables and desserts.
A chamber vacuum-sealing machine is used to heatseal the food in a special air-tight, heat-resistant vacuum-sealing bag.
The protective envelope of the vacuum-sealing bag retains the nutrients and flavours. The low temperatures and the direct transfer of heat allow precisely controlled cooking in order to achieve the desired cooking results. It is almost impossible to overcook the food.

Sous-vide cooking tips

  • Servings
    – Take into consideration the specified quantities and sizes for the food listed in the recommended settings tables. Adjust the cooking time for larger quantities and items.
    – The appliance can cook up to 2 kg of food sousvide.
    – The quantities given for fish, meat and poultry correspond to one to two servings.
    – For vegetables and desserts, the specified quantity is for 4 people.

  • You can cook on up to two levels. When you do this, always slide the universal pan in at level 1 to catch any drops of condensate. Insert the wire racks at the levels above accordingly.

  • The quality of the cooking result is 100% influenced by the quality of the ingredients you use. Use only fresh, top-quality food. This is the only way to guarantee a consistent  cooking result that delivers impeccable flavour.

Vacuum-sealing food
To ensure an even transfer of heat and an optimised cooking result, use a chamber vacuum-sealing machine that can create a 99% vacuum when vacuumsealing food.
Tip: To prevent gases escaping from the food, e.g. from vegetables, vacuum-seal the food no more than one day before you cook it. The gases inhibit the transfer of heat or cause the texture of the food to change, thus altering how it cooks, as a result of the vacuum pressure.
Note: Do not use a core temperature probe.

  1. Season food with half the usual the amount of spices. Cooking in a vacuum means that the flavours cannot escape. The usual quantities of flavourings such as spices, herbs and garlic affect the taste much more and intensify it.
    Tip: You can intensify the natural flavours of highquality food simply by adding a small knob of butter and a little salt to the vacuum-sealing bag.
    Different ingredients affect how the food cooks:
    – Salt and sugar reduce the cooking time.
    – Acidic ingredients such as lemon juice or vinegar make food firmer.
    – Alcohol and garlic give the food an unpleasant after-taste.

  2. To fill the vacuum-sealing bag, fold over the edge of the bag 3 – 4 cm from the top and place the bag into a receptacle such as a measuring jug.
    When you fill the vacuum-sealing bag, make sure that there are no traces of food left on the seam area of the vacuum-sealing bag.

  3. Before cooking the food, check that the vacuum in the bag is intact. Make sure that:
    – There is no air in the vacuum-sealing bag.
    – The heat-sealed seam is perfectly sealed.
    – There are no holes in the vacuum-sealing bag.
    – Pieces of meat or fish that have been vacuumsealed together are not pressed directly against one another.

  4. If the vacuum-sealing bag is not filled as it should be, place the food into a new bag and vacuum-seal it again.

Preparing food for sous-vide cooking
There are germs on the surface of virtually all food.

WARNING ‒ Risk of harm to health!
Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking at low temperatures and, if the instructions for use and hygiene instructions are not adhered to, it may result adverse health effects.
▶ Only use high-quality, perfectly fresh food.
▶ Wash and disinfect your hands.
▶ Use disposable gloves, cooking tongs or grill tongs.
▶ Take extra care when preparing critical food, such as poultry, eggs and fish.
▶ Always thoroughly rinse and peel fruit and vegetables.
▶ Always keep work surfaces and chopping boards clean.
▶ Use different chopping boards for different types of food.
▶ Only interrupt the cold chain briefly to prepare the food.
▶ Store vacuum-sealed food in the refrigerator before you starting the cooking process.
▶ Once the food is cooked, consume it immediately.
Do not store it after cooking – not even in the refrigerator. It is not suitable for reheating.
▶ To kill the germs, dip the vacuum-sealing bag containing the uncooked food into boiling water for no more than 3 seconds.
  This minimises the germs on your ingredients and maximises hygiene, so your food is now ready for sous-vide cooking.

Cooking food sous-vide
Requirements

  • The food is vacuum-sealed. → Page 46
  • The food is prepared. → Page 46
  1. Place the food onto the wire rack.
    To ensure that the heat is distributed evenly around the food, do not place the vacuum-sealed food items on top of one another or close together on the wire rack.

  2. To catch any drops of condensate, slide the universal pan in at level 1.

  3. ATTENTION!
    Risk of damage to kitchen units
    ▶ Do not fill the water tank a second time for the sous-vide cooking.
    Use the recommended settings when configuring the appliance settings.
    The recommended settings are based on how long one tankful of water lasts. As a general rule, depending on the set temperature, the following maximum cooking times apply when the water tank is completely full: Temperature in °C| Max. cooking time in minutes
    ---|---
    50| 270
    60| 210
    70| 150
    80| 120
    90| 90

  4. WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
    Hot water collects on the vacuum-sealing bag during cooking.
    ▶ Use an oven cloth to carefully lift the vacuumsealing bag so that the hot water runs off into the universal pan or the cooking container.
    ▶ Use the oven cloth to carefully remove the vacuum-sealing bag. Once the food is cooked, allow the cooking compartment to cool and then use a sponge to wipe away the water.

  5.  Dry the outside of the vacuum-sealing bag and place it in a clean container.

  6. Use scissors to open the vacuum-sealing bag. Place all of the food and liquid into the container.
    You can use the stock or marinade to make a sauce.

  7. Prepare the food for serving.

Food Cooking tips
Meat ◾ Dab the meat with a tea towel be- fore placing it into hot oil, in

order to avoid fat spitting out of the pan.
◾Sear the meat at a very high tem- perature for a few seconds on each side. This gives the meat a nice crust and the flavours you would expect from frying, without overcooking it.
Fish| ◾ Season the fish and coat with hot butter.
◾To give the fish a nice crust and the flavours you would expect from frying, sear it for a few seconds on each side.
◾Fry the food for longer if has not been sufficiently well cooked dur- ing the sous-vide cooking stage.
◾ Serve the fish on preheated plates and with a hot sauce or butter, as sous- vide cooking takes place at low temperatures.
Vegetables| ◾Sear the vegetables briefly to give them the flavours you would ex- pect from frying.
◾ Season the vegetables or mix them with other ingredients.

Defrosting
You can defrost frozen food in your appliance.
Tips for defrosting food

  • The Defrost function is suitable for defrosting frozen fruit and vegetables.

  • Use the CircoTherm hot air heating function to defrost baked goods.

  • It is better to defrost poultry, meat and fish in the refrigerator.

  • Remove frozen food from its packaging before you defrost it.

  • Accessory/cookware:
    – Place frozen fruit and vegetables into the perforated steaming tray (size XL). To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment below the steaming tray.
    – Frozen food for which the liquid is an integral component and needs to be retained (e.g. frozen creamed spinach) should be placed into the universal pan or into a piece of cookware that is then placed onto the wire rack.
    – Place baked goods directly onto the wire rack.

  • The recommended settings are for freezer-temperature food (-18 °C).

Reheating
You can use steam-assisted reheating to gently warm up food. The food tastes and looks as though it has been freshly cooked. You can even warm and crisp up baked goods from the day before.

Tips for reheating food

  • Use uncovered, heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for cooking with steam.
  • Use wide, shallow cookware. Reheating takes longer if you use cold cookware.
  • Place the cookware on the wire rack.
  • Place food that you are not reheating in cookware (e.g. bread rolls) directly onto the wire rack at level 2.
  • Do not cover the food.
  • Do not open the cooking compartment door while the food is being reheated, otherwise large amounts of steam will escape.
  • Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to reheat food.
