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 42

◼ 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 23
◼ 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 appli-ance cannot remind you to descale it at the right time.
▶ Set the water hardness correctly.
Note: 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.

Setting| Water hardness in mmol/l| German hardness °dH| French hardness °fH
---|---|---|---
0 (softened)1| –| –| –
1 (soft)| Up to 1.5| Up to 8.4| Up to 15
2 (medium)| 1.5-2.5| 8.4-14| 15-25
3 (hard)| 2.5-3.8| 14-21.3| 25-38
4 (very hard)| Over 3.8| Over 21.3| Over 38

¹Only set this if you will be using solely softened water.

7.2 Performing initial start-up
After connecting the appliance to the power supply, you must configure the settings for its initial start-up. It may take a few minutes for the settings to appear on the display.

Steaming

Food can be cooked particularly gently using steam. You can use the special types of steam heating, or use steam assistance with certain types of heating.

WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Hot steam may escape when you open the appliance door. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.
▶ Open the appliance door carefully.
▶ Keep children at a safe distance.

11.1 Setting options with steam
There are various ways in which you can prepare your food with steam.

Types of steam heating
A variety of types of steam heating are available for which hot steam is used to gently prepare food.

ATTENTION!
A lot of steam is produced during operation with the types of steam heating. Condensate that collects in the drip trough underneath the cooking compartment may overflow and damage adjacent units.
▶ Do not open the appliance door, or open it as infrequently as possible, while the appliance is in operation.

fullSteam Plus
During steaming with fullSteam 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.

Sous-vide
Sous-vide is a type of low-temperature cooking during which vacuum-sealed food is cooked at low temperatures between 50-95 °C with 100% steam. Sousvide is suitable for meat, fish, vegetables and desserts.

A chamber vacuum-packing machine is used to heatseal the food in special air- tight, heat-resistant cooking bags.
The protective cooking bag helps retain flavour and nutrients.

WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Hot water collects on the vacuum-sealing bag during cooking.
▶ Use an oven cloth to carefully lift the vacuuming bag so that the hot water runs off into the universal pan or the cooking container.
▶ Use an oven cloth to carefully remove the vacuuming bag.
Note: During sous-vide cooking, more condensate forms on the cooking compartment floor than for other types of heating.

ATTENTION!
Risk of damage to kitchen units Too much water has collected on the cooking compartment floor. The water may leak out of the appliance.
▶ Do not exceed the maximum duration of several hours.

Added steam

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 preparation, corresponding adjustment values and recipes can be found in the Home Connect app or on our website siemens-home.bsh-group.com.

31.1 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.
◼ 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.

You can buy suitable accessories from customer service, from specialist retailers or online.
→ “Other accessories”, Page 12

31.2 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.
◼ Silicone moulds are not suitable.
◼ 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.

31.3 Roasting, braising and grilling tips

◼ The recommended settings are for fridge-temperat-ure 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.

31.4 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 suit- able 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 16

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 46

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.

31.5 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-res-istant.
◼ 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.

Cooking whole menus with steam
Recommended settings and further information for cooking a whole menu at once.

Tips for cooking whole menus
◼ Use suitable accessories and ensure that you place them into the oven the right way round. → Page 10

◼ 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.
◼ Wipe the cooking compartment and dry the con-densate drip tray after using it to cook the meal.

31.7 Special cooking methods and other applications
Information and recommended settings for special cooking methods and other applications, e.g. low-temperature cooking.

Low-temperature cooking
For all prime cuts which are to be cooked rare or “à point”. When slow cooking at low temperatures, meat and poultry remain juicy and tender.

Low-temperature cooking poultry or meat
Note: When using the low-temperature cooking type of heating, you cannot delay the start of the programme by setting an end time.

Requirement: The cooking compartment is cold.

1. Use fresh, hygienically perfect meat. Pieces without bones and without a lot of connective tissue are most suitable.
2. Place the cookware onto the wire rack at level 1 in the cooking compartment.
3. Preheat the cooking compartment and cookware for approx. 15 minutes.
4. Sear the meat on all sides on the hob at a very high heat.
5. Immediately place the meat into the pre-warmed cookware in the cooking compartment. To ensure that the temperature in the cooking compartment remains constant, keep the cooking compartment door closed during low-temperature cooking.

Tips for low-temperature cooking

Here you will find tips for achieving good results when low-temperature cooking food.

breast into a pan.
◼ Sear the skin side first.
◼ Cook the duck breast at low temperature.
◼ After low-temperature cook- ing, grill the duck breast for 3 to 5 minutes until crispy.
You want to serve your low-temperat- ure cooked meat as hot as possible.| ◼ Preheat the serving plate.
◼ Make sure that the accom- panying sauces are very hot when you serve them.

Recommended settings for low-temperature cooking

¹Preheat the appliance.

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

Sous-vide cooking tips
◼ Servings
– Take into consideration the specified quantities and sizes for the food listed in the recommended settings tables. Adjust the cooking time for larger quantities and items.
– The appliance can cook up to 2 kg of food sousvide.
– For vegetables and desserts, the specified quantity is for 4 people.
◼ You can cook on up to 2 levels. When you do this, always slide the universal pan in at level 1 to catch any drops of condensate. Insert the wire racks at the levels above accordingly.
◼ The quality of the cooking result is 100% influenced by the quality of the ingredients you use. Use only fresh, top-quality food. This is the only way to guarantee a consistent cooking result that delivers impeccable flavour.

Vacuum-sealing food
To ensure an even transfer of heat and an optimised cooking result, use a chamber vacuum-sealing ma-chine that can create a 99% vacuum when vacuum- sealing food.

Tip: To prevent gases escaping from the food, e.g. from vegetables, vacuum-seal the food no more than one day before you cook it. The gases inhibit the trans-fer of heat or cause the texture of the food to change, thus altering how it cooks, as a result of the vacuum pressure.

Note: Do not use a core temperature probe.

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

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

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

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

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

WARNING ‒ Risk of harm to health!
Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking at low tem-peratures and, if the instructions for use and hygiene instructions are not adhered to, it may result adverse health effects.

▶ Only use high-quality, perfectly fresh food.
▶ Wash and disinfect your hands.
▶ Use disposable gloves, cooking tongs or grill tongs.
▶ Take extra care when preparing critical food, such as poultry, eggs and fish.
▶ Always thoroughly rinse and peel fruit and veget-ables.
▶ Always keep work surfaces and chopping boards clean.
▶ Use different chopping boards for different types of food.
▶ Only interrupt the cold chain briefly to prepare the food.
▶ Store vacuum-sealed food in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours before you start the cooking process.
▶ Once the food is cooked, consume it immediately. Do not store it after cooking – not even in the refri-gerator. It is not suitable for reheating.
▶ To kill the germs, dip the vacuum-sealing bag con-taining the uncooked food into boiling water for no more than 3 seconds.
This minimises the germs on your ingredients and maximises hygiene, so your food is now ready for sous-vide cooking.

Requirements

◼ The food is vacuum-sealed. → Page 47
◼ The food is prepared. → Page 48

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

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

3. ATTENTION!
   Risk of damage to kitchen units
   ▶ Do not exceed the maximum duration of several hours.
   Use the recommended settings when configuring the appliance settings.

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

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

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

7. Prepare the food for serving.

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