General notes The “General Notes” 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 color.
General notes Shelf level Cooking duration You can select any shelf level. You can also cook on several levels at the same time. This will not alter the cooking duration. During steam cooking, the cooking duration does not begin until the set temperature is reached. When using more than one deep cooking container at the same time, it is best to offset them on their runners and to leave at least one level free in between them.
General notes Universal tray and wire rack Use the universal tray with the wire rack placed on top of it, e.g., for roasting and broiling. 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 wire rack on top, insert the universal tray between the rails of a shelf level and the wire rack will automatically slide in above them. When removing them from the oven, pull both out together.
Steam cooking Notes on the cooking charts Follow the instructions on cooking durations, temperatures, and cooking notes. Selecting the cooking duration The cooking durations given are guidelines only. We recommend selecting the shorter duration initially. You can cook for longer if necessary.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking Always observe USDA/CFIA food safety guidelines. This gentle cooking method allows food to be cooked slowly at a low, constant temperature in vacuum packaging. With vacuum cooking, moisture does not evaporate and all nutrients and flavors are retained. The result is flavorful and cooked evenly. Only use food that is fresh and in good condition. Ensure hygienic conditions and that food has not been out of the refrigerator too long, e.g. during transportation.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking Important usage notes For the best cooking results: - Use herbs and spices more sparingly than with conventional 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. - Keep the door closed during the cooking program. Opening the door extends the cooking process and can change the cooking result. - Temperatures and cooking durations from sous-vide recipes cannot always be emulated exactly.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking Tips - In order to reduce cooking times, you can vacuum-seal food items 1–2 days before the cooking program. Store the vacuum-sealed food in the refrigerator at no more than 40°F (5°C). In order to preserve quality and flavor, the food should be cooked no later than 2 days afterward. - Freeze liquids such as marinades before vacuum-sealing to prevent them from escaping from the bag. - Fold the edges of the vacuum bag outward for filling. This will give you clean, perfect seams.
Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking Possible causes for poor results The vacuum bag has opened: - The weld seam was not clean or stable enough and dissolved. - 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 spice was used. - The bag or weld seam were damaged. - The vacuum was insufficient.

*INSTALLATION* Installation Installing and removing the steam oven For safety reasons, the steam oven may only be used when it has been fully installed. Do not open the door when the steam oven is on the floor. This could damage the door. Do not open the door until the steam oven has been installed inside the housing unit. Push the steam oven into the housing unit and align it in the center of the housing unit. When doing so, make sure that the power cord does not get trapped or damaged.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Insert the bolt into the mounting aid and tighten it in the housing unit. Screw the knurled nut onto the bolt by hand to fix the steam oven in the housing unit. The door may be damaged if the knurled nuts protrude from the front frame. Make sure that the knurled nuts are flush with the front frame after installation. Connect the appliance to the power supply. Remove the mounting aid.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Taking the steam oven out of the housing unit Open the door. Unscrew the knurled nuts and bolts from the front frame (see “Securing the steam oven in the housing unit”). Keep these parts in case the oven needs to be installed again in the future. Pull the steam oven out of the housing unit. Risk of damage from incorrect transportation. Lifting the steam oven by the door handle could cause damage to the door.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Electrical connection Risk of injury due to electric shock. During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the steam oven must be disconnected from the electricity supply: To disconnect the steam oven, fully unscrew the breakers, trip the ground fault circuit interrupter, or unplug the power cord from the socket. To do this, pull the plug, not the power cord. Risk of injury. Installation, repairs, and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
