Warning and Safety instructions
The Combi steam oven is referred to in the following instructions as a steam oven.
This steam oven complies with all applicable safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and material damage. Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before using the steam oven. They contain important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both personal injury and damage to the steam oven. In accordance with standard IEC/EN 60335-1, Miele expressly and strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the chapter on installing the steam oven as well as the safety instructions and warnings. Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by noncompliance with these instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner.
8

Warning and Safety instructions Correct application This steam oven is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments. This steam oven is not intended for outdoor use. The steam oven is intended for domestic use only to steam- cook, bake, roast, grill, defrost and reheat food. All other types of use are not permitted. The steam oven can only be used by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation. This steam oven is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g. temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose it is intended for. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised person or by Miele Service.
9

Warning and Safety instructions Safety with children Activate the system lock to ensure that children cannot switch on
the steam oven inadvertently. Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the steam oven unless they are constantly supervised. Children aged 8 and older may only use the steam oven without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe manner. Children must be able to understand and recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation. Children must not be allowed to clean the steam oven unsupervised. Please supervise children in the vicinity of the steam oven and do not let them play with it. Risk of suffocation due to packaging material. Whilst playing, children may become entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it over their head, presenting the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children. Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces. Children’s skin is far more sensitive to high temperatures than that of adults. External parts of the steam oven such as the door glass, control panel and the vent become quite hot. Do not let children touch the steam oven when it is in operation. Keep children well away from the steam oven until it has cooled down and there is no danger of injury. Risk of injury from the open door. The oven door can support a maximum weight of 10 kg. Children could injure themselves on an open door. Do not let children sit on the open door, lean against it or swing on it.
10

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. Never use a damaged steam oven. It could be dangerous. Check it for visible signs of damage before using it. Reliable and safe operation of this steam oven can only be assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply. The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician. Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt. Do not connect the steam oven to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). For safety reasons, this steam oven may only be used when it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded. This steam oven must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship). Risk of injury due to electric shock. Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical or mechanical components of the oven will endanger your safety and may lead to the steam oven malfunctioning. Do not open the steam oven housing under any circumstances.
11

Warning and Safety instructions While the appliance is under warranty, repairs should only be un-
dertaken by a Miele authorised service technician. Otherwise the warranty is invalidated. Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts. If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is supplied without a plug, the appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician. If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains connection cable (see “Electrical connection” in the “Installation” chapter). During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture front (e.g. a door), do not close the furniture front while the steam oven is in use. Heat and moisture can build up behind the furniture front when closed. This can result in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and the floor. Leave the furniture door open until the steam oven has cooled down completely. In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.
12

Warning and Safety instructions Correct use Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam oven
gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment, side runners, accessories, food or steam. Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or removing it and when working in the hot oven compartment. Risk of injury caused by hot food. Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven or removing it. The food can cause burns. When placing cooking containers into the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill. Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed jars and tins. Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causing damage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding. Plastic containers which are not suitable for use in an oven melt at high temperatures and can damage the steam oven or catch fire. Only use plastic containers which are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an oven. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on use. If you want to use plastic containers for steaming food make sure that they are temperature resistant to 100 °C and steam resistant. Any other plastic containers could melt, become brittle or break when subjected to heat. Food which is stored in the oven compartment can dry out and the moisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam oven. Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use any cooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion. Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the open door or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.
13

Warning and Safety instructions The door can support a maximum weight of 10 kg. Do not sit on
or lean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it. Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door and the oven cavity. The steam oven could get damaged. Oil and fat can ignite if overheated. Never leave the steam oven unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not put the flames out with water. Switch the steam oven off immediately and then suffocate the flames by keeping the oven door closed. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the steam oven when it is in use could catch fire. Do not use the steam oven to heat up the room. Grilling food for excessively long cooking durations can cause it to dry out with the risk of catching fire. Do not exceed the recommended cooking durations. Some types of food dry out quickly and can self-ignite if high grill temperatures are used. Never use the grill to finish baking part-cooked rolls or bread or to dry flowers or herbs. Use Fan plus or Conventional heat for this type of procedure. To avoid fuelling any flames, do not open the steam oven door if there is smoke inside the oven compartment. Interrupt operation by switching the steam oven off and disconnecting it from the mains electricity supply. Do not open the door until the smoke has dispersed. If using alcohol in your recipes, please be aware that high temperatures can cause the alcohol to vaporise. The vapour can catch fire on hot heating elements.
14

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 oven, care should be taken that the cable of the appliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard. Do not operate the steam oven without the lamp cover. Steam could could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Steam could also damage the electrical components.
15

Warning and Safety instructions Cleaning and care Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steam
cleaning appliance could reach live electrical components and cause a short circuit. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance. 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 side runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care ­ Cleaning the side runners”). Refit the side 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 to stainless steel surfaces inside the cabinet. Accessories Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liability. Only use the Miele food probe supplied with this oven. If it is faulty, it must only be replaced with a suitable original Miele food probe. The plastic on the food probe can melt at very high temperatures. Do not use the food probe when using the grill functions (exception: Fan Grill ). Do not store the food probe in the oven if it is not in use.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Food probe
The food probe measures the core temperature in the food, enabling the temperature during the cooking process to be monitored simply and accurately.
Temperature/core temperature
Some functions have a pre-set recommended temperature. The recommended temperature can be altered within the given range for an individual cooking programme, a programme stage or for every time that programme is used (see “Recommended temperatures” in the “Settings” chapter). The core temperature can also be altered within the given range for an individual programme or a specific programme stage.

Description of functions

Moisture
The Combi mode function and Reheat special application use a combination of oven heat and moisture. The moisture level can also be selected within the given range for an individual programme or a specific programme stage. Depending on the moisture setting, moisture or fresh air is supplied to the oven compartment. When the moisture setting = 0 %, the maximum fresh air supply is implemented and no moisture is supplied. When the moisture setting = 100 %, there is no fresh air supply and the moisture content is at its maximum. Some food gives off moisture during the cooking process. This moisture from the food also controls the amount of moisture needed. If the required amount of moisture is low, the steam generator may not be activated at all.

Cooking duration
Depending on the function, you can set a cooking duration of between 1 minute and 6, 10 or 12 hours. The cooking durations of the Automatic, Maintenance and Menu cooking programmes are set at the factory and cannot be altered. When cooking with steam, as well as for programmes and applications with pure steam operation, the cooking duration does not begin until the set temperature is reached. It starts immediately for all other functions, programmes and applications.
Noises
A humming sound can be heard during operation and after switching off the steam oven. This noise does not indicate incorrect operation or an appliance fault. The noise is made by water being pumped through the system. When the steam oven is in use, you will hear a fan noise.

32

Description of functions

Heating-up phase
In all functions, the display shows the temperature in the oven compartment as it rises during the heating-up phase (exceptions: Full grill , Economy grill ). When cooking with steam, the duration of the heating-up phase will depend on the quantity and the temperature of the food. In general, the heating-up phase will last for approx. 7 minutes. The duration will be longer if you are cooking refrigerated or frozen food. The heatingup phase may also last longer if cooking temperatures are low or if you are using the Sous-vide cooking function.
Cooking phase
The elapsing remaining time is shown in the display during the cooking phase. When cooking with steam, the cooking phase begins once the set temperature is reached. It starts immediately for all other functions, programmes and applications.

Steam reduction
With steam cooking and combination cooking, the steam reduction function will switch on automatically at the end of a cooking programme which uses a temperature within a certain temperature range. The function stops excessive steam escaping when the door is opened. Steam reduction will appear in the display. Steam reduction can be switched off (see “Steam reduction” in the “Settings” chapter). With steam reduction switched off, a lot of steam will escape when the door is opened.
Oven interior lighting
For energy-saving reasons, the oven interior lighting has been set at the factory to go out after the programme has begun. If you want it to stay on all the time the oven is on, you will need to alter the default setting (see “Settings ­ Lighting”). If the door is left open at the end of a cooking programme, the oven interior lighting will switch off automatically after 5 minutes. The lighting can be switched on for 15 seconds by touching the button on the control panel.

Before using for the first time

Miele@home
Your steam oven is equipped with an integrated WiFi module. In order to use it, you will need: – a WiFi network, – the Miele@mobile app, and – a Miele user account, which can be
created from the Miele@mobile app. The Miele@mobile app will guide you as you connect your steam oven to your home WiFi network. Once your steam oven is connected to your WiFi network, you can use the app for a number of actions, including the following: – Getting information on the operating
status of your steam oven – Retrieving information on your steam
oven’s current cooking programmes – Stopping cooking programmes that
are in progress Connecting your steam oven to your WiFi network will increase energy consumption, even when the steam oven is switched off.

Availability of the WiFi connection The WiFi connection shares a frequency range with other appliances (including microwave ovens and remote control toys). This can give rise to sporadic or even complete connection failures. Therefore, the availability of featured functions cannot be guaranteed.
Miele@home availability The ability to use the Miele@mobile app depends on the availability of the Miele@home service in your country. The Miele@home service is not available in every country. For information about availability, please visit www.miele.com.

The minute minder can also be used at the same time as a cooking programme for which the cooking duration start and finish times have been set (e.g. as a reminder to stir the food or add seasoning, etc.). The maximum minute minder time
that can be set is 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
Setting the minute minder If you have selected the Display | QuickTouch | Off setting, you will need to switch the steam oven on before setting the minute minder. The minute minder can then be seen counting down in the display when the steam oven is switched off. Example: you want to boil some eggs and set a minute minder duration of 6 minutes and 20 seconds. Select the sensor control. Select Minute minder. Set the minute minder time you re-
quire. Touch Close to confirm. When the steam oven is switched off the minute minder duration counts down in the display and appears instead of the time of day.

If you are cooking at the same time or if you are in a different menu, the minute minder duration and will appear at the top right-hand side of the display. At the end of the minute minder duration, will flash, the time will start counting up and a buzzer will sound. Select the sensor control or the
desired minute minder in the display. The buzzer will stop and the symbols in the display will go out.
Changing the minute minder duration Select the minute minder in the dis-
play or select the sensor control and then the desired minute minder duration. The minute minder duration selected will appear. Set a new minute minder duration. Touch Close to confirm. The changed minute minder duration is now saved and will count down in minutes. Minute minder durations of less then 10 minutes will count down in seconds.
Deleting the minute minder duration Select the minute minder in the dis-
play or select the sensor control and then the desired minute minder duration. The minute minder duration selected will appear. Select Delete. Touch Close to confirm. The minute minder duration is now deleted.

Energy saving tips

Cooking programmes
– Remove all accessories from the oven compartment that are not required for cooking.
– In general, if a range of temperatures is given in a recipe or cooking chart, it is best to select the lower temperature and to check the food after the shortest duration.
– Preheat the oven compartment only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.
– If possible, do not open the door during a programme.
– Dark, matt tins are best for baking. These absorb the heat more effectively and transmit the heat to the mixture quicker. Shiny materials such as stainless steel or aluminium reflect the heat and therefore can give a more uneven result. Do not cover the oven floor or the rack with heat-reflecting aluminium foil.
– Monitor cooking durations to avoid wasting energy when cooking. 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 multiple shelf levels at the same time.

– Fan grill is the best function for grilled dishes. With this function, you can use lower temperatures than in 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 sweet and savoury bakes and gratins. 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 particularly suitable 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 cook at the same time should, if possible, be cooked one after the other in order to make use of existing heat in the oven.

60

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 control.
Energy-saving mode
The steam 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 sur-
faces and food. The steam oven gets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the heater elements, oven compartment, side runners, accessories or food. Use oven gloves when placing hot food in the appliance or removing it and when working in the hot oven compartment. When placing cooking containers into the oven or removing them, make sure that the hot food does not spill out.
The cooking programme will resume when the door is closed. The steam oven will heat up again and the display will show the temperature in the oven compartment as it rises. When cooking with steam as well as for programmes and applications with pure steam operation, the remaining time only continues to elapse once the set temperature has been reached.
In programmes using 100 % moisture and temperatures up to 100 °C: the cooking programme will finish early if the door is opened in the last minute of cooking (55 seconds remaining).

66

Operation

Pre-heating the oven compartment
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. It is only necessary to pre-heat the oven compartment in a few instances. Pre-heat the oven compartment when
cooking the following food: – Cakes and pastries with a short
cooking duration (approx. 30 minutes or less) 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 (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.

Switching the Booster on and 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. Drag down the pull-down menu. Booster is highlighted in orange. Select Booster. Depending on the colour scheme, Booster is highlighted either in black or white. Close the pull-down menu. The Booster function is switched off during the heating-up phase. Only the heating elements associated with the function are pre-heating the oven compartment.

Delicate items (e.g. sponge or biscuits) will get brown too quickly on the top with the Booster function. Switch off the Booster function for these items.
67

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 desired temperature is reached and you have placed the food in the oven. Start the cooking programme immediately without delaying the start time.

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 containers Stainless steel cooking containers are provided with the steam oven. 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 oven. – Thick- sided containers such as porcelain, ceramic or stoneware are not very suitable for using with steam. Due to their thick sides, they do not conduct heat well, meaning 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 side runners out to make more room (see “Cleaning the side runners” in the “Cleaning and care” chapter). – Ensure that there is a gap between the upper rim of the container and the top of the oven compartment to allow sufficient steam into the container.

71

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 using more than one deep container at the same time for steam cooking it is best to offset them on their runners and to leave at least one level free in between them. Always insert cooking containers, the rack and the tray between the rails of the side runners so that they cannot tip.

Cooking 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.

Frozen food
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 and recipes which are prepared in pot or a pan can also be cooked in the steam oven. The cooking times in the steam oven will be the same. Please note that food will not be brown or crisp when cooking with steam.

72

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 slide in above them. 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 following the cooking durations and temperatures from the tables specified in “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 tables
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.

Steam cooking

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, unless they 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. Use solid containers for vegetables which are cooked in liquid.

Shelf level To avoid any colour transfer when cooking vegetables with a distinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated container, do not place other food underneath the perforated container.
Cooking 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: Waxy potatoes, cut into quarters: approx. 17 minutes Waxy potatoes, cut in half: approx. 20 minutes

Fish
Fresh Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e. clean, gut and fillet.
Frozen food 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, 2 – 5 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 with salt 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.
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 sole. 100 °C For cooking firmer types of fish, e.g. cod and 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.

78

Tips – Adding herbs and spices, such as
dill, will help bring out the full flavour of the fish. – Cook large fish in swimming position. To help maintain the shape of the fish, place a small cup or similar upside down in the cooking container, and arrange the fish belly- side 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 carp, 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 oven (see “Special applications” ­ “Defrost”).
Preparation For meat which needs to be seared before being cooked, e.g. for a stew, sear the meat in a pan on the hob first.
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.

Tips – To retain the flavour, use a perforated
cooking container. Place a solid cooking container or the universal tray underneath in order to collect the concentrate. You can use the concentrate to enhance your sauces or freeze it for later use. – Boiling meat from chicken and beef as well as meat bones can be used to make a strong 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.

Dumplings
Ready made boil-in-the-bag dumplings need to be well covered with water as otherwise they can fall apart. This is because even though they have been soaked in water beforehand they will not absorb enough moisture. Cook fresh dumplings in a greased, perforated container.

Dried pulses
Soak pulses for at least 10 hours in cold water before cooking. Soaking makes the pulses more digestible and shortens the cooking duration required. Soaked pulses must be covered with liquid during cooking. Lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking. With unsoaked pulses a certain ratio of pulses to liquid is required depending on variety.

Hen’s eggs
Use a perforated container to boil eggs in the steam oven. The eggs do not need to be pierced before cooking as they are gradually warmed during the heating up phase and so do not burst when they are cooked with steam. When using a solid container for making egg dishes such as scrambled eggs, remember to grease it first.

Menu cooking (cooking whole meals) – manually
Before cooking meals with the manual menu cooking function, switch off steam reduction (see “Settings ­ Steam reduction”).
When cooking a menu, you can combine different foods with different cooking durations, e.g. fish fillet with rice and broccoli. The food is placed in the steam oven compartment at different times so that each item is 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 universal tray. This avoids any transfer of flavour or colour to other food and prevents 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. sole and plaice will become very firm when cooked at 100 °C.

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

Example Food cooking durations (see cooking tables 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, boiling-resistant vacuum sealing 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 sealing bag more than once.

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

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Important usage notes
For best cooking results, follow the instructions below: – 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 ingredients such as lemon or vinegar are added. – Do not use alcohol or garlic as this can produce unpleasant flavours. – Only use vacuum sealing bags that match the size of the food. If the vacuum sealing bag is too big, too much air can remain inside. – If you want to cook several items of food in one vacuum sealing 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. – With high temperatures and/or long cooking durations, the appliance may run low on water. Check the display from time to time.

– Keep the door closed during the cooking programme. Opening the door will prolong 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.

96

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

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 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 sealing bag on all sides for easier access to the food.

– Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish (such as salmon) before serving for a roasted aroma.
– Use the stock or marinade of vegetables, fish or meat to make a sauce.
– Serve the food on pre-warmed plates.

97

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

Using the Sous-vide function
Rinse the food with cold water and dry it.
Place the food in a vacuum sealing 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 Oven functions . Select Sous-vide . Change the recommended temperat-
ure if necessary. Confirm with OK. Set further settings as necessary (see
“Operation”).

Possible reasons for unsatisfactory results
The bag has opened: – The seal was not clean or strong
enough and has opened. – 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 was added. – The bag or seal was not in perfect order. – The vacuum was insufficient. – The food was not eaten or chilled immediately after cooking.

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. Food with a short cooking duration or which continues cooking during reheating, such as fish, is not suitable for reheating. Preparation Place the cooked food into ice water for approx. 1 hour directly after cooking. The rapid cooling prevents the food from continuing to cook, which helps retain the optimum cooked condition. Then store the food in the refrigerator at a maximum temperature of 5 °C.
Please note that the quality of the food decreases the longer it is stored. We recommend that you do not store the food in the refrigerator for longer than 5 days before reheating. Settings Oven functions | Sous-vide Temperature: see table Duration: see table
