pliance. The appliance door may spring open due to
an explosion and it may fall off. The door panels may
shatter and fragment. Due to the resulting negative
pressure, the cooking compartment may become con-
siderably deformed inwards.
Do not heat spirits (≥ 15% vol.) when undiluted (e.g.
for marinating or pouring over food).
If there is water on the cooking compartment floor
when operating the appliance at temperatures above
120°C, this will damage the enamel.
Do not use the appliance if there is water on the
cooking compartment floor.
Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment
floor before operation.
Objects on the cooking compartment floor at over
50°C will cause heat to build up. The baking and
roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel
will be damaged.
Do not place any accessories, greaseproof paper or
foil of any kind on the cooking compartment floor.
Only place cookware on the cooking compartment
floor if a temperature above 50°C has been set.
Using silicone moulds or any film, covers or accessor-
ies that contain silicone could damage the baking
sensor. Damage may occur even if the baking sensor
is not active.
Do not use silicone moulds or any film, covers or
accessories that contain silicone.
Never place objects made of silicone in the cooking
compartment.
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side 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.
The prolonged presence of moisture in the cooking
compartment leads to corrosion.
Allow the cooking compartment to dry after use.
Do not keep moist food in the cooking compartment
for a long time with the door closed.
Do not store food in the cooking compartment.
Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open
will damage the front of neighbouring kitchen units over
time.
Always allow the cooking compartment to cool
down with the door closed after cooking at high
temperatures.
Take care not to trap anything in the appliance
door.
Only leave the cooking compartment to dry with the
door open if a lot of moisture was produced during
operation.
Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains
that cannot be removed.
When baking very juicy fruit flans, do not pack too
much on the baking tray.
If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
Using oven cleaner in a hot cooking compartment
damages the enamel.
Never use oven cleaner in the cooking compartment
when it is still warm.
Remove all food remnants from the cooking com-
partment and the appliance door before you next
heat up the appliance.
If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation. This may dam-
age the front of adjacent kitchen units.
Keep the seal clean at all times.
Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged
or missing.
Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may
damage it.
Do not place, hang or support objects on the appli-
ance door.
Do not place cookware or accessories on the appli-
ance door.
With certain models, accessories may scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door.
Always push accessories fully into the cooking com-
partment.
2.2 Steam
Follow these instructions when using the steam func-
tion.
ATTENTION!
Using cookware with rust spots may cause corrosion in
the cooking compartment. Even the smallest spots of
rust can cause corrosion.
Do not use cookware with rust spots.
Dripping liquids make the cooking compartment floor
dirty.
When steaming with a perforated cooking container,
always place the baking tray, the universal pan or
the unperforated cooking container underneath. This
will catch any liquid that drips down.
Hot water in the water tank may damage the steam
system.
Only fill the water tank with cold water.
If there is water on the cooking compartment floor
when operating the appliance at temperatures above
120°C, this will damage the enamel.
Do not use the appliance if there is water on the
cooking compartment floor.
Wipe away any water on the cooking compartment
floor before operation.

If descaling solution comes into contact with the control
panel or other delicate surfaces, it will damage them.
Remove descaling solution immediately with water.
Cleaning the water tank in the dishwasher will damage
it.
Do not clean the water tank in the dishwasher.
Clean the water tank with a soft cloth and standard
washing-up liquid.
3  Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible 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 recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
¡
Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.
¡
These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
¡
This maintains the temperature in the cooking com-
partment 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 re-
quired to defrost it.
Note:
The appliance requires:
¡ A maximum of2W in networked standby mode
¡ A maximum of 1W when the appliance is not con-
nected to the network, with the display switched on
¡ A maximum of 0.5W when the appliance is not con-
nected to the network, with the display switched off

7  Before using for the first time
Implement the settings for the initial configuration. Calibrate the appliance. Clean the appliance and accessories.
7.1 Before using 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 hard-
ness 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.
Using unsuitable liquids may damage the appliance.
Do not use distilled water, highly chlorinated tap wa-
ter (>40 mg/l) or other liquids.
Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or
non-carbonated mineral water.
Malfunctions may occur when using filtered or deminer-
alised water. The appliance may request that you top
up the water tank even though it may be full, or opera-
tion with steam is cancelled after approx. twominutes.
If required, mix filtered or demineralised water with
the bottled non-carbonated mineral water with a ra-
tio of onetoone.
Tip:If you use mineral water, set the water hardness
range to "very hard". If you use mineral water, you must
only use non-carbonated mineral water.
Tip:If your tap water is very hard, we recommend that
you use softened water. If you use only softened water,
you can set your appliance to the "softened" water
hardness range.

Steaming
During steaming, hot steam surrounds the food to pre-
vent it from losing nutrients. The shape, colour and typ-
ical aroma of the dishes are retained as a result of this
preparation method.
Reheating
The reheating function is used to warm up food that
has already been cooked, or bread and pastries from
the day before, without affecting its quality.
Dough proving
Yeast dough will prove considerably more quickly us-
ing this function than at room temperature, and it will
not dry out.
Defrosting
Use the defrost setting to defrost deep-frozen and
frozen products.

Sous-vide
Sous-vide is a type of low-temperature cooking during
which vacuum-sealed food is cooked at low temperat-
ures between 50–95°C and 100% steam. Sous-vide is
suitable for meat, fish, vegetables and desserts.
A chamber vacuum-packing machine is used to heat-
seal the food in special air-tight, heat-resistant cooking
bags. Thanks to the protective cooking bag, flavour
and nutrients are retained.
WARNING‒Risk of scalding!
Hot water collects on the vacuum-sealing bag during
cooking.
Use an oven cloth to carefully lift the vacuum-seal-
ing bag so that the hot water runs off into the univer-
sal pan or the cooking container.
Use the oven cloth to carefully remove the vacuum-
sealing bag.
Note:During sous-vide cooking, more condensate
forms on the cooking compartment floor than for other
cooking methods.

Descaling en
31
21  Descaling
To ensure that your appliance continues to operate cor-
rectly, it must be descaled regularly.
How frequently you need to run the descaling pro-
gramme will depend on the water hardness and how
many times you have used the steam function. The ap-
pliance indicates when only another five or fewer
steam-assisted operations are possible. If you do not
carry out the descaling, you can no longer set any op-
eration with steam.
Descaling comprises several steps and takes approx.
70–95minutes:
¡ Descaling (approx. 55–70minutes)
¡ First rinse cycle (approx. 9–12minutes)
¡ Second rinse cycle (approx. 9–12minutes)
For reasons of hygiene, the descaling programme must
be run in full.
If descaling is interrupted, you can no longer set any
operation. To ensure that the appliance is ready for op-
eration again, carry out two rinse cycles.

29  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.
29.1 General cooking tips
Please take note of the following information when
cooking all types of food.
¡ The temperature and cooking time depend on the
amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are
specified for this reason. Try using the lower values
to start with.
¡ The setting values apply to food placed in the cook-
ing compartment while the cooking compartment is
still cold. Do not place accessories into the cooking
compartment until it has finished preheating.
¡ Remove any accessories that are not being used
from the cooking compartment.
29.2 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 cook-
ware and it browns more on top.
1
Only applies to Great Britain
en How it works
40
¡ Silicone moulds are not suitable.
¡ If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal
pan, place the universal pan into the cooking com-
partment at level2.
¡ The setting values for bread dough apply to both
dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in
a loaf tin.
ATTENTION!
When the cooking compartment is hot, any water in-
side it will create steam. The change in temperature
may cause damage.
Never pour water into the cooking compartment
when it is still hot.
Never place cookware containing water on the
cooking compartment floor.
Shelf positions
If you are using the 4Dhot air heating function, you
can choose between shelf positions 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Notes
¡ Items that are placed in the appliance on baking
trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will
not necessarily be ready at the same time.
¡ If you opt for steam-assisted cooking, you can only
cook on one level.
29.3 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.
¡ The meat probe allows you to cook with absolute
precision. Please take note of the important informa-
tion on using it correctly. →Page20
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 succu-
lent and juicy.
¡ Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire
rack.
¡ To catch any liquids that drip down, place the uni-
versal pan, with the wire rack inside it, into the cook-
ing compartment at the specified shelf height.
¡ Add up to ½litre of water to the universal pan, de-
pending on the size and type of food that you want
to roast.
You can make a sauce from the juices that are col-
lected. This also means that less smoke is pro-
duced and the cooking compartment does not be-
come 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 roast-
ing 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 ex-
pand.
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 es-
cape away from you.
Keep children away from the appliance.
Grilling
Grill food if you want it to be crispy.
¡ 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 uni-
versal 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 determ-
ines how frequently this occurs.
¡ Smoke may be produced when grilling.
How it works en
41
29.4 Steaming
Cook dishes gently. The food remains particularly suc-
culent.
In contrast to steam-assisted cooking, the meat does
not become crispy on the outside.
¡ Use open, heat-resistant cookware that is suitable
for cooking with steam.
¡ The perforated steam container (size XL) is the best
option here. To catch any liquid that drips down,
slide in the universal pan one level below in the
cooking compartment.
You can also use a glass tray and place this onto
the wire rack.
¡ Cover food that can normally be cooked in a water
bath, with film, e.g. with cling film.
¡ You do not need to turn the food.
¡ For a different flavour, you can sear the meat,
poultry or fish before steaming. Reduce the cooking
time.
¡ Larger pieces require a longer heating-up time and
a longer cooking time.
¡ If you are using several pieces which are the same
weight, the appliance's heating-up time is increased.
The cooking time remains the same.
¡ In the main part of the instruction manual, you can
find information on how to set the steam function.
→"Steam", Page17
Vegetables on several levels
You can easily cook more than one type of food or
even whole menus, e.g. broccoli and potatoes, on two
levels.
Rice or cereals
¡ Add water or liquid in the indicated ratio.
For example, this means 1:1.5 for 100g of rice,
150ml liquid.
29.5 Cooking frozen products
¡ Do not use heavily frosted frozen products.
¡ Remove any ice.
¡ Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked.
Uneven browning may remain even after baking.
29.6 Cooking ready meals
¡ 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.

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 heat-
seal the food in a special air-tight, heat-resistant va-
cuum-sealing bag.
The protective envelope of the vacuum-sealing bag re-
tains the nutrients and flavours. The low temperatures
and the direct transfer of heat allow precisely controlled
cooking in order to achieve the desired cooking res-
ults. 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 sous-
vide.
The quantities given for fish, meat and poultry
correspond to one to two servings.
For vegetables and desserts, the specified quant-
ity is for 4people.
¡ You can cook on up to two levels. When you do
this, always slide the universal pan in at level1 to
catch any drops of condensate. Insert the wire racks
at the levels above accordingly.
¡ The quality of the cooking result is 100% influenced
by the quality of the ingredients you use. Use only
fresh, top-quality food. This is the only way to guar-
antee a consistent cooking result that delivers im-
peccable 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 can-
not 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 high-
quality 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 before
you starting 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.
a This minimises the germs on your ingredients and
maximises hygiene, so your food is now ready for
sous-vide cooking.

ATTENTION!
Risk of damage to kitchen units
Do not fill the water tank a second time for the
sous-vide cooking.
Use the recommended settings when configuring
the appliance settings.
The recommended settings are based on how long
one tankful of water lasts. As a general rule, de-
pending on the set temperature, the following max-
imum cooking times apply when the water tank is
completely full:
Temperature in °C Max. cooking time in
minutes
50 270
60 210
70 150
80 120
90 90
4.
WARNING‒Risk of scalding!
Hot water collects on the vacuum-sealing bag 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.
Food Cooking tips
Meat ¡ Dab the meat with a tea towel be-
fore placing it into hot oil, in order
to avoid fat spitting out of the pan.
¡ Sear the meat at a very high tem-
perature for a few seconds on
each side. This gives the meat a
nice crust and the flavours you
would expect from frying, without
overcooking it.
Fish ¡ Season the fish and coat with hot
butter.
¡ To give the fish a nice crust and
the flavours you would expect
from frying, sear it for a few
seconds on each side.
¡ Fry the food for longer if has not
been sufficiently well cooked dur-
ing the sous-vide cooking stage.
¡ Serve the fish on preheated plates
and with a hot sauce or butter, as
sous-vide cooking takes place at
low temperatures.
Vegetables ¡ Sear the vegetables briefly to give
them the flavours you would ex-
pect from frying.
¡ Season the vegetables or mix
them with other ingredients.

Defrosting
You can defrost frozen food in your appliance.
Tips for defrosting food
¡ The Steam function is suitable for defrosting frozen
fruit and vegetables.
¡ Use the 4Dhot air heating function to defrost baked
goods.
¡ It is better to defrost poultry, meat and fish in the re-
frigerator.
¡ Remove frozen food from its packaging before you
defrost it.
¡ Accessory/cookware:
Place frozen fruit and vegetables into the perfor-
ated steaming tray (size XL). To catch any liquids
that drip down, place the universal pan into the
cooking compartment below the steaming tray.
Frozen food for which the liquid is an integral
component and needs to be retained (e.g. frozen
creamed spinach) should be placed into the uni-
versal pan or into a piece of cookware that is
then placed onto the wire rack.
Place baked goods directly onto the wire rack.
¡ The recommended settings are for freezer-temperat-
ure food (-18°C).
Reheating
You can use steam-assisted reheating to gently warm
up food. The food tastes and looks as though it has
been freshly cooked. You can even warm and crisp up
baked goods from the day before.
Tips for reheating food
¡ Use uncovered, heat-resistant cookware that is suit-
able for cooking with steam.
¡ Use wide, shallow cookware. Reheating takes
longer if you use cold cookware.
¡ Place the cookware on the wire rack.
¡ Place food that you are not reheating in cookware
(e.g. bread rolls) directly onto the wire rack at
level2.
¡ Do not cover the food.
¡ Do not open the cooking compartment door while
the food is being reheated, otherwise large amounts
of steam will escape.
¡ Wipe the cooking compartment dry after using it to
reheat food.
