If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise and even to ignite on the hot heating elements.
13

Warning and Safety instructions Never line the floor of the oven compartment with aluminium foil
or oven liners. Do not place any crockery or any pans, pots or baking trays directly on the floor of the oven compartment. If you want to use the floor of the oven compartment as an extra surface, place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. In doing so, ensure that the filter in the floor of the oven is not moved. The oven compartment floor can become damaged by the rack being pushed around on it. Do not push the rack around on the oven compartment floor. Larger deposits of food can block the drain and pump. Always make sure that the filter in the floor of the oven is inserted. When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender, near the steam combination oven, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the steam combination oven door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard. The steam could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. This could also destroy the electrical components. Do not operate the steam combination oven without the lamp cover.
14

Warning and Safety instructions Cleaning and care Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning. Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metal tools to clean the door glass. The shelf runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care ­ Cleaning the shelf runners”). Refit the shelf runners correctly. Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquids containing salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly to avoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface. Accessories Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability. Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a minimum of 10 years and up to 15 years following the discontinuation of your steam combination oven.

Cleaning the accessories/oven compartment Take all accessories out of the oven
compartment. Wash the cooking containers by hand
using hot water and a little washingup liquid or in the dishwasher. The universal tray and combi rack surfaces are treated with PerfectClean enamel and must only be washed by hand. See “Cleaning and care PerfectClean”.
Clean the universal tray and combi rack with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.
The interior of the steam combination oven has been treated at the factory with a conditioning agent. To remove this, clean the oven
interior with a mild solution of washing-up liquid and warm water applied with a soft sponge, and then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Setting the correct boiling point for water
Before cooking food for the first time, you must adjust the boiling temperature of the water, which varies depending on the altitude of where the steam combination oven is located. This procedure also flushes out the waterways.
This procedure must be carried out to ensure efficient functioning of your appliance.
Distilled or carbonated water or other liquids could damage the steam combination oven. Only use cold, fresh tap water (below 20 °C).
Remove the water container and fill it up to the maximum marker.
Push the water container into the appliance.
Then run the steam combination oven for 15 minutes using the Steam cooking function (100 °C). Proceed as described in “Operation”.

Setting the correct boiling point for water following a house move If you move house, the boiling point for the water in the steam combination oven will need to be reset for the new altitude if this differs from the old one by 300 m or more. To do this, descale the appliance (see “Cleaning and care Maintenance”).

34

Before using for the first time
Heating up the steam combination oven
Take all accessories out of the oven compartment if applicable.
To remove the grease from the ring heating element, heat up the steam combination oven using the Fan Plus at 200 °C function for 30 minutes. Proceed as described in “Operation”.
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces. The steam combination oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven compartment or shelf runners. Use oven gloves when working in the hot oven compartment. The heating element will give off a slight smell when it is heated up for the first time. The smell and any vapours given off will dissipate after a while and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance. It is important to ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated during this operation.

Energy saving tips

Cooking programmes
– Remove any accessories from the oven that are not required for a cooking process.
– In general, if a range of temperatures is given in a recipe or chart, it is best to select the lower temperature and to check the food after the shortest duration.
– Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.
– Avoid opening the door during a cooking process.
– Dark, matt tins are best for baking. They absorb the heat more effectively and transmit it to the mixture more quickly. Shiny materials such as stainless steel or aluminium reflect the heat, preventing it from reaching the food efficiently. Do not cover the oven floor or the rack with heatreflective aluminium foil.
– Monitor cooking durations to avoid wasting energy when cooking food. Set the cooking duration, or use a food probe if you have one.
– The Fan Plus function can be used for cooking many types of food. Because the fan distributes the heat in the oven compartment straight away, it allows you to use a lower temperature than you would with Conventional Heat. It also enables you to cook on several shelf levels at the same time.

– Fan Grill is the best function for grilled dishes. With Fan Grill you can use lower temperatures than with other grill functions which use the maximum temperature setting.
– The Eco Fan Heat function ensures energy-efficient cooking thanks to optimal utilisation of heat. Use this function for preparing small quantities such as frozen pizza or cookie cutter cookies. Do not open the door during the cooking programme.
– You can use the Eco Steam cooking function to save energy during steam cooking. This function is suitable mainly for cooking fish and vegetables.
– Whenever possible, you should cook several dishes at the same time. Place them next to each other in the oven or on different shelf levels.
– Dishes which you are unable to prepare at the same time should, if possible, be cooked one after the other in order to make use of existing heat in the oven.

52

Customising settings
Select the setting Display | QuickTouch | Off for the control elements in order to reduce energy consumption.
Select the Lighting | Off or “On” for 15 seconds setting for the oven interior lighting. The oven interior lighting can be switched on again at any time by touching the sensor.
Energy saving mode
The steam combination oven will switch itself off automatically to save energy if a programme is not being run and controls have not been operated. The time of day will appear in the display or the display will remain dark (see “Settings”).

Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces and food. The steam combination oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heating elements, oven compartment, shelf runners, accessories or food. Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it, and when adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven. When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill.
The cooking programme will resume when the door is closed.
The steam combination oven will heat up again and the display will show the temperature in the cooking compartment as it rises.

Operation

Pre-heating the oven
The Booster function is used to quickly pre-heat the oven compartment in some functions. The Pre-heat function can be used with any oven function (except Eco Fan Heat) and has to be switched on separately for each cooking programme. If you have set a cooking duration, it will only start to count down after the heating-up phase. It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven in a few instances. Pre-heat the oven compartment when
cooking the following food: – Cakes and pastries with a short
cooking duration (up to approx. 30 minutes) as well as delicate items (e.g. sponge) with the Conventional Heat function
Booster The Booster function is switched on as the factory default setting for the following functions (Other | Settings | Booster | On): – Fan Plus – Conventional Heat If you set a temperature above 100 °C and the Booster function is switched on, a rapid heating-up phase heats the oven compartment to the set temperature. The top heat/grill element and the ring heating element come on together with the hot air fan.

Delicate items (e.g. sponge or biscuits) will brown too quickly on the top if the Booster function is used. Switch off the Booster function for these items.
Switching Booster on or off for a cooking programme If you have selected the Booster | On setting, you can switch off the function separately for a cooking programme. On the other hand, you can also switch on the function separately for a cooking programme if you have selected the Booster | Off setting. Example: You have selected a function and the required settings such as the temperature. You want to switch off the Booster function for this cooking programme. Select the sensor. Select Booster | Off. Confirm with OK. The Booster function is switched off during the heating-up phase. Only the heating elements for the selected oven function are used to pre-heat the oven compartment.

60

Operation

Pre-heat You can place most dishes in the cold oven compartment to make use of the heat produced during the heating-up phase.
If you have set a cooking duration, it will only start to count down when the target temperature is reached and you have placed the food in the oven. Start the cooking programme immediately without delaying the start time.
Switching on the Pre-heat function The Pre-heat function has to be switched on separately for each cooking programme. Example: You have selected a function and the required settings such as the temperature. You want to switch on the Preheat function for this cooking programme. Select the sensor. Select Pre- heat | On. Confirm with OK. The following message is displayed with a time: Place food in oven at …. The oven compartment is heated to the set temperature. As soon as you are prompted to do
so, place the food in the oven compartment. Confirm with OK.

Crisp function
The Crisp function (moisture reduction) allows moisture to be removed from the oven as required during the entire cooking process or at times during the process. It is a good idea to use this function when cooking items which have a moist topping, e.g. quiche, pizza, tray bakes with fresh fruit toppings or muffins. Poultry in particular gets a good crisp skin with this function. The Crisp function can be used in the following functions: – Fan Plus – Conventional Heat – Intensive Bake – Bottom Heat – Top Heat – Fan Grill – Cake Plus

61

Operation

Switching on the Crisp function The Crisp function has to be switched on separately for each cooking programme. Example: You have selected a function and the required settings such as the temperature. You want to switch on the Crisp function for this cooking programme. Select the sensor. Select Crisp function | On. Confirm with OK. The Crisp function is switched on. The Crisp function can be switched off again at any time via the sensor.

Injecting bursts of steam
You can release bursts of steam during the cooking process in all oven functions (except Eco Fan Heat). The number of bursts of steam is unlimited. You can release a burst of steam as soon as Burst of steam is highlighted in the display.
Please wait until the heating-up phase is completed to allow the steam to be distributed evenly in the warm air in the oven. Select OK. The burst of steam will be released. appears in the display and Burst of steam goes out. This will take approximately 1 minute. Proceed as described to release
further bursts of steam once Burst of steam appears in the display again.

General notes

This section contains general information. You will find more detailed information about particular foods and how to cook them in the other sections.
The advantages of cooking with steam
Almost all vitamins and minerals are retained as the food is not immersed in water. Cooking with steam also retains the true taste of the food better than conventional cooking. We therefore recommend seasoning the food after it has been cooked. Food also retains its fresh, original colour.
Suitable containers
Cooking container This steam combination oven is supplied with stainless steel cooking containers. Other containers, in a variety of sizes, both perforated and solid, are available as optional extras (see “Optional accessories”). This enables you to choose the most suitable container for the meal you are preparing. Use perforated cooking containers for steam cooking if possible. The steam can reach the food from all sides and the food is cooked evenly.

Your own containers You can also use your own containers. However, please note the following: – Containers must be suitable for use
in an oven and able to withstand steam. With plastic containers, please check with the manufacturer that they are suitable for use in a steam combination oven. – Thick-sided containers made from porcelain, ceramic, or stoneware are not very suitable for using with steam. Due to their thick sides, they do not conduct heat well and as a result cooking durations will be considerably longer than those given in the charts. – Place the containers on the rack or on a suitable tray. Depending on the size of the container, you can also place the rack on the floor of the oven compartment with the rack surface facing up and the cooking container on top. You can also take the shelf runners out to make more room (see “Cleaning and care Cleaning the shelf runners”). – Ensure that there is a gap between the upper rim of the container and the top of the cooking compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container.

63

General notes

Shelf level
You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration. When cooking with more than one deep cooking container at the same time, offset them to allow steam to circulate properly. If possible, leave a shelf level between the containers. Always insert cooking containers, the rack and the tray between the rails of the shelf runners so that they cannot tip.

Duration
During steam cooking, the cooking duration does not begin until the set temperature is reached. In general, the cooking durations for cooking with steam are the same as for cooking food in a saucepan. More information about any factors which may affect the cooking duration is given in the relevant sections. The quantity of food does not affect the cooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes will take the same time to cook as 500 g of potatoes.

Frozen
The heating-up phase for frozen food is longer than for fresh food. The greater the quantity of frozen food, the longer the heating-up phase.

Cooking with liquid
When cooking with liquid, only fill the cooking container ²/ full to prevent the liquid spilling when the cooking container is removed from the oven.

Temperature
During steam cooking, the temperature does not exceed 100 °C. Almost all foods can be cooked at this temperature. Some types of food, such as berries, need to be cooked at lower temperatures to prevent them from bursting. See the relevant sections in these operating instructions for more details.

Your own recipes ­ steam cooking
Food which is cooked in a pot or a pan can also be cooked in the steam combination oven. The cooking durations in the steam combination oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be brown or crisp when cooking with steam.

64

Universal tray and combi rack
Use the universal tray with the combi rack placed on top of it, e.g. for roasting and grilling. During roasting, you can use the meat juices collected in the tray to make a gravy or sauce. If you are using the universal tray with the combi rack on top, insert the universal tray between the rails of a shelf level and the combi rack will automatically sit on top. When removing them from the oven, pull both out together.
Non-tip safety notches The combi rack and universal tray have non-tip safety notches which prevent them being pulled right out when they only need to be partially pulled out. The tray and rack can then only be taken out of the oven by raising them upwards and then pulling them out.

Eco Steam cooking
You can use the Eco Steam cooking function to save energy during steam cooking. This function is suitable mainly for cooking fish and vegetables. We recommend using the cooking durations and temperatures given in the chart under “Steam cooking”. You can cook for longer if necessary.
When cooking starchy foods such as potatoes, rice and pasta, the best function to use is Steam cooking .

Notes on the cooking charts
Follow the instructions on cooking durations, temperatures and cooking notes.
Selecting the cooking duration The cooking durations given are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter
duration initially. You can cook for longer if necessary.

Vegetables
Fresh Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.
Frozen food Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand. Exception: the vegetables have been frozen together in a block. Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together. If vegetables have frozen together in clumps, break these up before cooking with steam. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration.
Cooking containers Food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have little or no space between them, will take longer to cook because the steam has less space to work in. For an even result, it is best to use a shallow container for these types of food, and only fill it about 3 – 5 cm deep. When cooking large quantities, divide the food between 2 or 3 shallow containers rather than using one deep one. Different types of vegetables which take the same length of time to cook can be cooked together in one cooking container. Use solid containers for vegetables which are cooked in liquid, e.g. cabbage.

Shelf level When cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container at the same time as cooking other foods in other containers, place the solid tray directly underneath the perforated container to catch any drips and therefore avoid any colour transfer.
Duration The cooking duration depends on the size of the food and how well cooked you want it, just as it does with conventional cooking methods. Example: Firm potatoes, cut into quarters: approx. 12 minutes Firm potatoes, cut in half: approx. 17 minutes

Fish
Fresh Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2­5 minutes should be enough.
Preparation Add some lemon or lime juice to fish before cooking. The citric acid helps the flesh stay firm. It is not necessary to season fish when cooking with steam as this method retains the minerals which give the fish its unique flavour.
Cooking containers If using a perforated container, grease it first or line it with baking paper.
Shelf level When cooking fish in a perforated container at the same time as cooking other types of food in other containers, place the container with the fish directly above the universal tray to catch any liquid and so avoid any transfer of tastes to other food.

Temperature 85 °C ­ 90 °C For gently cooking delicate types of fish, such as flounder. 100 °C For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g. salmon. Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.
Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the fish, and not on the weight. The thicker the fish, the longer the cooking duration. A 3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g will take longer to cook than a 2 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 g. The longer fish cooks, the firmer its flesh will become. Use the cooking durations given in the chart. If you find that the fish is not cooked sufficiently, only cook it for a few minutes more. When cooking fish in sauce or stock, we recommend that you increase the cooking duration quoted by a few minutes.

70

Steam cooking

Useful tips – Adding herbs and spices, such as
dill, will help bring out the full flavour of the fish. – Cook large fish in the swimming position. To help maintain the structure of the fish, place a small cup or similar upside down in the cooking container. Arrange the fish bellyside down over the cup. – You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fish heads, bones, tails etc. to make a fish stock. Place the fish scraps together with some mixed vegetables in a solid cooking container and add cold water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to 90 minutes. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock. – Preparing fish au bleu is a method involving cooking the fish in water with vinegar, at different proportions depending on the recipe. It is important not to damage the skin of the fish. This method is suitable for cooking trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Meat
Fresh Prepare the meat in the usual way.
Frozen food Meat should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking in the steam combination oven (see “Other applications” ­ “Defrost”).
Preparation Meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. stewing steak, should be seared in a pan on the cooktop.
Duration The cooking duration depends on the thickness and the texture of the meat, and not on the weight. The thicker the piece of meat, the longer the cooking duration. A piece of meat weighing 500 g which is 10 cm thick will take longer to cook than a piece of meat weighing 500 g which is 5 cm thick.

Useful tips – To retain the flavourings, use a
perforated cooking container. Place an unperforated cooking container underneath in order to collect the concentrate. You can use the concentrate to enhance your sauces or freeze it for later use. – Boiling chicken, back or top rib and meat bones can be used to make stock. Place the meat together with the bones and some mixed vegetables in a cooking container and add cold water. The longer the cooking duration, the stronger the stock.

Steam cooking

Rice
Rice swells when cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The proportion of rice to liquid will vary depending on the type of rice. The rice absorbs all the liquid during the cooking process so that none of the nutrients are lost.
Cooking container Use a solid cooking container. Smaller quantities of rice (up to one cup, approx. 50-150 g) can alternatively be cooked in a suitable stainless steel bowl on the rack.
Preparation Wash the rice before cooking. If you wash the rice in the cooking container, drain the water off carefully afterwards. Useful tip: The required volume of liquid can be determined using scales or the “cup” method. For the “cup method”, first fill the desired amount of rice into a cup and then put the rice into the cooking container. Then measure the required volume of liquid (see chart) with the cup and add it to the rice. Make sure that the rice is evenly distributed in the cooking container.

Menu cooking – manual
Before cooking meals with the manual Menu cooking function, switch off steam reduction (see “Settings ­ Steam reduction”).
Menu cooking involves cooking various foods with different cooking times in order to serve them all together in one meal, e.g. rosefish fillet with rice and broccoli. Foods are placed in the steam combination oven at different times so that they are all ready at the same time. Shelf level Place foods that produce a lot of liquid (e.g. fish) or have a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) directly above the universal tray. This avoids any transfer of flavour or colour to other food by preventing liquid dripping onto food below it. Temperature Whole meals should be cooked at a temperature of 100 °C as this is the temperature required to cook the majority of foods. Do not cook a whole meal at the lowest temperature when different temperatures are required for different types of food, e.g. 85 °C for seabream and 100 °C for potatoes. If the recommended cooking temperature for the food is 85 °C for example, try cooking it at 100 °C and testing the result. Some delicate types of fish with a soft structure, e.g. flounder will become very firm when cooked at 100 °C.

Duration If you increase the recommended temperature, shorten the cooking duration by approx. ¹/.

Example: Food cooking durations (see cooking charts in “Steam cooking”)

Parboiled rice Rosefish fillet Broccoli

24 minutes 6 minutes 4 minutes

Calculation of set cooking durations: 24 minutes minus 6 minutes = 18 minutes (1st cooking duration: rice) 6 minutes minus 4 minutes = 2 minutes (2nd cooking duration: rosefish fillet) Remaining time = 4 minutes (3rd cooking duration: broccoli

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

With this gentle cooking method, food is cooked slowly and at a low, constant temperature in vacuum packaging. With vacuum cooking, no moisture evaporates during cooking and all nutrients and flavours are retained. The cooking result has an intensive taste and food is cooked evenly.

Use only fresh food which is in a good condition. Ensure hygienic conditions and that food has not been out of the refrigerator too long, e.g. during transportation.
Use only heat-stable, boilingresistant vacuum bags. Do not cook food in the sales packaging, such as vacuum-packed frozen food as it is possible that the packaging used is not suitable for vacuum cooking. Do not use the vacuum bag more than once.

Vacuum-seal the food in a chamber system vacuum sealer only.

87

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Important notes on use
For an optimum cooking result: – Use herbs and spices more sparingly
than with conventional cooking methods because the impact on the taste of the food will be stronger. You can also cook the food unseasoned and add seasoning after cooking. – The cooking duration is reduced when salt, sugar, and liquids are added. – The food becomes firmer if acidic foods, such as lemon or vinegar are added. – Do not use alcohol or garlic as this can cause an unpleasant taste. – Only use vacuum sealing bags that match the size of the food. If the vacuum bag is too big, too much air can remain inside. – If you want to cook several pieces of food in one vacuum bag, put them side by side in the bag. – If you want to cook food in several vacuum sealing bags at once, put the bags side by side on the rack. – The cooking durations depend on the thickness of the food.

– Keep the door closed during the cooking process. Opening the door extends the cooking process and can change the cooking result.
– Temperatures and cooking durations from sous-vide recipes cannot always be emulated exactly. Alter the settings to achieve the degree of cooking you want.
– With higher temperatures and/or longer cooking durations, the appliance may run low on water. Check the display from time to time.

88

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Useful tips
– In order to reduce cooking times, you can vacuum seal food items 1­2 days before the cooking programme. Store the vacuum-sealed food in the refrigerator at no more than 5 °C. In order to preserve quality and flavour, the food should be cooked no later than 2 days afterwards.
– Freeze liquids such as marinades before vacuum sealing to prevent them from escaping from the bag.
– Fold the edges of the vacuum sealing bag outwards for filling. This will give you clean, perfect weld seams.
– If you do not want to eat the food straight after cooking, put it in iced water immediately and allow it to cool down completely. After this, store the food at temperatures no greater than 5 °C. This way, you can retain the food’s quality and flavour while keeping it fresh for longer. Exception: Poultry must be eaten straight after the cooking programme.
– After cooking, cut the vacuum bag on all sides for easier access to the food.
– Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish (such as salmon) before serving. This will help to develop a roasted aroma.
– Use the brine or marinade of vegetables, fish, or meat to make a sauce.
– Serve the food on pre-warmed plates.

Using the Sous-vide function
Rinse the food with cold water and dry it.
Place the food in a vacuum bag and add spices or liquid if desired.
Vacuum seal the food in a chamber system vacuum sealer.
For the best cooking results, place the rack on shelf level 2.
Place the vacuum-sealed food on the rack (next to each other if there are several bags).
Select Sous-vide . Change the recommended
temperature if necessary. Confirm with OK. Set further settings as necessary (see
“Operation”).

89

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
Possible causes for poor results
The vacuum bag has opened: – The weld seam was not clean or
stable enough and came undone. – The bag was damaged by a sharp
bone. The food has an unpleasant or strange taste: – Incorrect storage of the food; the
food was kept out of the refrigerator for too long. – The food was contaminated with bacteria before it was vacuum sealed. – Too much of ingredients such as spices were added. – The bag or weld seam were not in perfect order. – The vacuum was insufficient. – The food was not eaten or chilled immediately after cooking.

Temperature, duration

• Degree of doneness The “Well-done” degree of doneness has a higher core temperature than “Medium,” but is not cooked through in the classical sense.

92

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking
Reheating
Only reheat brassicas, such as kohlrabi and cauliflower, in combination with a sauce. Without sauce, an unpleasant cabbage-like taste and grey-brown colour may develop. Foods with a short cooking time and those which have a different degree of doneness when reheated, e.g. fish, are not suited to being reheated. Preparation Immediately after cooking, place the food in ice cold water and leave for approximately one hour. The rapid cooling inhibits continued cooking of the food. This means the ideal degree of doneness of the food remains as it is. Store the food afterwards in the refrigerator at max. 3 °C.
Please note that the quality of food deteriorates the longer it is stored. We recommend storing food in the refrigerator for no longer than five days before reheating it. Settings Sous-vide Temperature: see chart Duration: see chart

Other applications

Reheat
To reheat food which was cooked using the sous-vide method, use the Sous-vide function (see “Sous-vide ­ Reheating”). The steam combination oven is very effective at reheating food gently, without drying it out or cooking it further. The food will reheat evenly and does not need to be stirred during the reheating process. You can reheat individual dishes or plated meals which have been prepared previously (e.g. meat, vegetables, and potatoes).
Suitable containers Small quantities can be reheated on a plate, larger quantities should be placed in a cooking container.
Duration 10­12 minutes are usually sufficient for one plate of food. More than one plate will need a little longer. If you are reheating several plated meals one after the other, the reheating time can be reduced by around 5 minutes for the second and subsequent plates as the oven compartment will still be hot.

Moisture content The more moist the food, the less moisture that needs to be added.
Useful tips – Do not reheat large items, such as a
joint of roast meat, whole. Divide it into portions and reheat these as plated meals. – Compact items, such as stuffed capsicum or roulades, should be cut in half. – Reheat sauces separately. Exceptions are dishes such as goulash, which is cooked in sauce. – Please note that breaded items, such as schnitzel, will not retain their crispness when they are reheated.
Food does not need to be covered before it is reheated.

Defrost
It is much quicker to defrost items in the steam combination oven than at room temperature.
Risk of infection from bacteria.
Bacteria such as salmonella can cause life-threatening food poisoning. It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting fish and meat, and in particular when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid produced during defrosting. Process the food as required as soon as it has been defrosted.
Temperature 60 °C is the best temperature for defrosting. Exceptions: 50 °C for minced meat and game.
Before and after defrosting Remove any packaging before defrosting. Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and cakes in their packaging as otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft. Allow food to stand at room temperature for a few minutes after defrosting. The standing time is necessary to allow the even distribution of heat from the outside to the inside.

Cooking containers Use a perforated container with the universal tray underneath when defrosting food which will drip, such as poultry. This way food will not be lying in defrosted liquid. Foods which do not drip can be defrosted in a solid cooking container.
Useful tips – Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2­5 minutes is generally enough. – When defrosting food which has frozen together, e.g. berries and meat portions, separate them half-way through the defrosting time. – Do not refreeze food once it has thawed. – Defrost frozen ready meals according to the instructions on the packaging.
