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.
→ “How it works”, Page 35

• 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.
  Switch off the display in the basic settings.
  → “Basic settings”, Page 21

• Energy is saved when the display is switched off.
  Note:
  The appliance requires:

• A maximum of 2 W in networked standby mode

• A maximum of 0.5 W in non-networked standby mode with the display switched off

Before using for the first time

Implement the settings for the initial configuration. Calibrate the appliance. Clean the appliance and accessories.
7.1 Determining the water hardness before switching on the appliance for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, ask your water supplier about the hardness of your tap water. To ensure that the appliance can reliably remind you to descale it when required, you must set your water hardness range correctly.
ATTENTION!
If the wrong water hardness has been set, the appliance cannot remind you to descale it at the right time.
▶ Set the water hardness correctly.
Using unsuitable liquids may damage the appliance.
▶ Do not use distilled water, highly chlorinated tap water (>40 mg/l) or other liquids.
▶ Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or non-carbonated mineral water.
Malfunctions may occur when using filtered or demineralised water. The appliance may request that you top up the water tank even though it may be full, or operation with steam is cancelled after approx. two minutes.
▶ If required, mix filtered or demineralised water with the bottled non- carbonated mineral water with a ratio of one to one.
Notes

• If you are using mineral water, set the water hardness range to “very hard”. If you are using mineral water, you must only use non-carbonated mineral water.
• If your tap water is very hard, we recommend that you use softened water. If you are using only softened water, set the “softened” water hardness range.

full Steam Plus
During steaming with full Steam Plus , hot steam surrounds the food to prevent it from losing nutrients. This cooking method also helps to retain the shape, colour  and typical flavour of the food.
When temperatures between 105 °C and 120 °C are set, the cooking time is reduced. This means that even more nutrients and vitamins are retained when steaming.

Reheating
The reheat function can be used to warm up food that has already been cooked, or bread and pastries from the day before, without affecting their quality.

Proving dough
Dough proves considerably more quickly using the dough proving steam heating type than at room temperature and does not dry out.
Defrosting
Use the defrost function to defrost deep-frozen and frozen products gently without affecting the quality.
Added steam
When you cook with added steam, the appliance introduces steam into the cooking compartment at various intervals. This gives your food a crispy crust and a shiny surface. Meat  stays juicy and tender, and only undergoes a minimum reduction in volume.

You can combine added steam with the following functions:

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.
Tip: A lot of other information about the food preparation and corresponding adjustment values can be found in the Home Connect app or on our website siemens-home.bsh-group.com.

28.1 General cooking tips
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.

1 Depending on the appliance specifications
2 Only applies to Great Britain

• The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. If you want to preheat anyway, 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.

28.2 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 1.

• 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
You will obtain the best results if you use the following shelf positions.
If you are baking on one level, use shelf position 1.

Universal pan
Baking tray| 3
1
Baking tins/dishes on two wire racks| 3
1

Use the 4D hot air heating function.
Note: 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.

28.3 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.

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” type of heating is good for cooking thinner pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drumsticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting bread.
Circulated air grilling 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 grill setting that you use determines how frequently this occurs.

• Smoke may be produced when grilling.

28.4 Cooking tips for steaming
Cook your food gently. The food remains particularly succulent.
In contrast to cooking with added steam, the meat does not become crispy on the outside.

• Use uncovered, heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for cooking with steam.

• The perforated steaming tray, size XL, is the best option here. To catch any liquid that drips down, slide the universal pan into the cooking compartment one level below.
  Alternatively, you can place a glass dish onto the wire rack.

• Cover food that you would normally cook in a bain marie with film, e.g. cling film.

• You do not need to turn the food.

• To obtain a slightly different flavour, you can sear the meat, poultry or fish before steaming. Reduce the cooking time.

• Larger food items require a longer heat-up time and a longer cooking time.

• If you are using several pieces which are the same weight, the appliance’s heat-up time is increased. The cooking time remains the same.

• Open the door as infrequently as possible during steaming. Wipe the condensate drip tray after preparation. If the condensate drip tray overflows, this may cause damage to kitchen units.

• The main part of the user manual contains information on how to configure the steam settings.
  → “Steaming”, Page 15

Vegetables on several levels
You can easily cook more than one type of food or even whole menus, e.g. broccoli and potatoes, on 2 levels. → Page 40

Rice or cereal products

• Add water or liquid in the specified ratio.
  For example, 1:1.5 means add 150 ml liquid for every 100 g rice.

28.5 Cooking instructions for ready meals

• The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and irregularities may already be present in the food before cooking.
• Do not use frozen products that are covered with a thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.
• Take ready meals out of the packaging.
• If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-resistant.
• 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.

Tips for cooking whole menus

• Use suitable accessories and ensure that you place them into the oven the right way round. → Page 9

• Shelf positions:
  – Steaming tray, size M: Shelf position 3
  – Steaming tray, size XL: Shelf position 2
  – Universal pan: Shelf position 1

• Place the food with the longest cooking time into the cooking compartment first. Add the rest of the food at the appropriate time. This means that all the food will be ready at the same time.

• Follow the cooking instructions for each of the different foods.
  – The heat-up time varies depending on the size and weight of the food.
  – The cooking time is unaffected by the quantity of food.
  – Use cookware that is steam-resistant.
  – Cover the soufflé with film, e.g. cling film.
  – Always insert the universal pan at level 1.

• The overall cooking time is extended when cooking whole meals with steam, as a little steam escapes each time the appliance door is opened and the cooking compartment has to be reheated.

Sterilising bottles

1. Clean the bottles with a bottle brush immediately after use.
2. Wash the bottles in the dishwasher.
3. Place the bottles into the steaming tray (size XL) in such a way that they do not touch one another.
4. Start the “Sterilise” programme.
5. Dry the bottles with a clean cloth.
6. Wipe down the appliance interior after sterilising.

Useful information on sterilising

Please take note of the following information if you are sterilising cookware.

• You can use your appliance to prepare jam jars or preserving jars and their lids.
• You can perform an additional processing step at the end in order to improve the jam’s shelf life.
• Sterilise only heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for cooking with steam.
• Only use clean jars and lids that are in perfect condition.
• Ideally, you should wash the cookware in the dishwasher before sterilising it.
