• Overheated oils and fats catch fire easily. Always remain vigilant when cooking foods rich in fat and oil. • Never leave the appliance unattended during food drying. • If alcoholic beverages are used when cooking foods (e.g. rum, cognac, wine), remember that alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. As a result, there is a risk that vapours released by the alcohol may catch fire upon coming into contact with the electrical heating element. • Overheated oils and fats catch fire easily.
Safeguarding the environment Disposal of packing materials Scrapping the product • The packaging material is 100 % recyclable and is marked with the recycle symbol ( ) • This appliance is marked in conformity with European Directive 2012/19/EU, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). • The various parts of the packing must therefore be disposed of responsibly and in full compliance with local authority regulations governing waste disposal.
Prior to connecting If the power cable is too short or damaged, it must be replaced. The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current safety regulations. Contact an authorised After‑Sales Service. Check that the voltage on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in the home. Ensure that the appliance oven cavity is empty before fitting. Ensure that the appliance is not damaged.
Accessories The baking & drip tray is used to collect the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain and soil the interior of the oven. Avoid placing vessels directly on the oven floor. GENERAL There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure that they are suitable for cooking with steam and hot air in combination. Place a container on the wire shelf. It can hold greater weights than the baking tray or steam tray can.
Probe placing 1. Place the temperature probe in the food while it is still on the kitchencounter. Never immerse the probe in water when cleaning. Simply wipe clean with a clean, damp cloth or kitchen roll after use. The oven must not be operated with the temperature probe in the cavity if it is not plugged into the oven. Ensure that as much as possible of the probe length is inserted in the food. This will ensure a more accurate temperature reading.

Introduction to “Chef touch” The method In nature, there are other species of micro‑organisms called “pathogens” which are detrimental to human health. “Chef touch” represents a cooking system for foods that undergo preliminary vacuum packing. Such micro-organisms can also be present in the food we consume and can come into contact with food from the surrounding environment, from contamination by human beings or from the raw materials themselves.
How to apply the “Chef touch” method The diagram below summarises the 3 different Chef touch operating modes applicable : • KitchenAid vacuum chamber, • KitchenAid blast chiller, • KitchenAid steam oven. The “Chef touch” has different types of use, in line with the normal habits of food consumers A) Immediate consumption Suggested for any “Chef touch” food preparation and representing the very best way to exploit this cooking method.
The cooking bags To use the “Chef touch”, the KitchenAid red coloured bags must be used. Before starting the bag filling operation, it is best to indicate in the spaces provided on the bag the date of preparation and type of product in indelible ink. Preparing bags Using KitchenAid vacuum bags 1. Open the drawer fully (until it clicks). 2. Switch the machine on using the blue switch on the front right hand side. 3.
Machine operation indications Switching On (pulling the drawer out to working position) Always pull the drawer out to its full extension so that the glass lid can open fully. Switch the machine on using the blue On switch on the front right hand side. The control panel LEDs light up and a brief acoustic signal indicates that the machine has been switched on. At this point, the machine runs a set-up cycle lasting approximately 2 seconds; do not press any buttons until set-up has been completed.
How to cook in a steam oven To cook using the “Chef touch”, follow the indications shown on the drawing.
How to use the blast chiller Remember to only use the KitchenAid brand product. We suggest drying the surface of the food with paper or a kitchen cloth before placing it in the chiller. This solution is advisable to limit the formation of condensation during the chilling cycle and to prevent ice forming on the walls and negatively affecting chiller performance.
How to use the steam oven for heating To heat, follow the instructions provided in “How to cook in a steam oven”. The end of cooking is indicated by an acoustic signal At the end of cooking, be careful when removing the pack from the oven as this could be very hot. We recommend always using appropriate gloves / pot holders for removing the pouch.
Cooking table Cooking time interval values in the table are not valid for food. We always recommend that fresh food is cooked from a chilled temperature. Sous Vide pouches have to be cooked and reheated only with Sous Vide dedicated cycles as indicated in the table below, paying attention to select the proper cooking cycle.
