down.
▪ When cleaning the appliance make
sure no water gets inside it. Use a mod-
erately damp cloth. Do not spray the
outside or the inside of the appliance
with water. If water gets inside the appli-
ance, it will cause damage. See the
«Care and maintenance» section.
▪ Empty the water tank of any water that
is still in it and then fill with fresh, cold
drinking water.

5 Applications
5 Applications
5.1 Hot air
Temperature range 30–230 °C
Recommended value 180 °C
Level 2 or 1 + 3
A heating element behind the back wall of the cooking space heats up the air inside the
cooking space, which is circulated evenly.
Uses
▪ For cakes, savouries, biscuits, bread and roasts on 1 or 2levels
Select a lower temperature (reduce by approximately 20°C) than for top/bottom
heat as the heat transfer is more efficient.
5.2 Hot air humid
Temperature range 30–230 °C
Recommended value 180 °C
Level 2 or 1 + 3
A heating element behind the back wall of the cooking space heats up the air inside the
cooking space, which is circulated evenly. The natural humidity produced is largely re-
tained in the cooking space. The food retains its moisture.
Uses
▪ Roasts, braised dishes and gratins
Select a lower temperature (reduce by approximately 20°C) than for top/bottom
heat as the heat transfer is more efficient.
5.3 Hot air with steaming
Temperature range 80–230 °C
Recommended value 180 °C
Level 2 or 1 + 3
The cooking space is heated by hot air. Bursts of steam ensure that the energy is trans-
ferred more efficiently to the food. This speeds up the cooking process slightly and the
food comes out really crispy.
Steam over 100°C is not visible.
34
5 Applications
Uses
▪ Puff pastries, yeast pastries, bread, plaited bread
▪ Baked dishes and gratins
▪ Meat
▪ Frozen and convenience foods
Particularly suitable for low-fat cooking of frozen foods such as oven chips and
spring rolls.
Using the option, the supply of steam can be turned off and on again during operation.
5.4 Hot air eco
Temperature range 30–230 °C
Recommended value 180 °C
Level 2 or 1 + 3
This application is particularly energy-efficient. A heating element behind the back wall of
the cooking space heats up the air inside the cooking space, which is circulated evenly.
Any moisture that escapes from the food is retained in the cooking space, so the food
dries out less.
Uses
▪ Roasts, gratins, savouries and biscuits
Do not preheat when using this application to cook. This lowers the energy con-
sumption. The cooking time can be longer than with classical hot air.
The temperature is optimized throughout in this application for energy-saving cook-
ing, and this is indicated in the display during operation with «ECO».
Select a lower temperature (reduce by approximately 20°C) than for top/bottom
heat as the heat transfer is more efficient.
5.5 Steam
Temperature range 30–100 °C
Recommended value 100 °C
Level 1 to 4
The cooking space is heated simultaneously by steam and hot air. The food is heated up
or cooked by steaming.
35
5 Applications
Uses
▪ Steaming vegetables, rice, cereal products, pulses and egg dishes
▪ Poaching meat, poultry and fish
▪ Extracting juice from fruit and berries
▪ Making yogurt
▪ Preserving, bottling
Possible to steam on several levels simultaneously.
▸ Put the stainless steel tray under the perforated cooking tray to make cleaning the
cooking space easier.
5.6 Regeneration
Temperature range 80–200 °C
Recommended value 120 °C
Level 1 to 4
The cooking space is heated by steam and hot air. The food is reheated gently without
drying it out.
Uses
▪ Reheating pre-cooked foods and convenience foods
Possible to regenerate on several levels simultaneously.
For crispier results (e.g. to crisp up bread and flans), set a higher temperature
(150–180 °C).
5.7 Desiccating (depending on model)
Temperature range 40–85 °C
Recommended value 65 °C
Level 2 or 1 + 3
A heating element behind the back wall of the cooking space heats up the air inside the
cooking space, which is circulated evenly. The appliance door opens automatically at
regular intervals to allow moisture from the food to escape. The food dries out slowly.
Uses
▪ For drying fruit, berries, vegetables and herbs
The lower the drying temperature, the longer the drying time. Food with a high wa-
ter content requires a longer drying time.

5.8 Vacuisine
With «Vacuisine», meat, fish, vegetables and fruit can be prepared sous vide. The va-
cuum-packed food is gently steamed. The food probe temperature can be monitored
with the food probe. The food probe temperature is the set cooking space temperature.
This ensures that the food is cooked to the same degree of doneness throughout.
Temperature range 30–95 °C
Recommended value 60 °C
Level 1 to 4
Recommended maximum cooking
time
72 hours
The cooking space is heated simultaneously by steam and hot air. The food is heated or
cooked by steam.
Tips for best results
▪ Only use fresh food. This applies to meat and fish in particular. Food that has already
been kept for some time has a higher bacterial content and is therefore unsuitable for
Vacuisine.
▪ Meat quality: both lean (e.g. fillet) and marbled, more sinewy (e.g. stewing meat and
belly pork) cuts of meat can be prepared optimally using Vacuisine.
Preparing the food
▪ Vacuum seal the food. For this, see the tips in the operating instructions for the va-
cuum drawer, on the homepage or in the recipe brochure.
▪ To monitor the food probe temperature of the meat with the food probe, the spot
where the food probe punctures the vacuum bag must be sealed with a sealing pad.
This ensures that the vacuum is maintained in the bag.
▸ Attach a sealing pad to the bag con-
taining the vacuumed food, having first
ensured that the bag is clean and dry.

tion will continue.».
5.9 Professional baking
With «Professional baking», the steam and drying phases are controlled automatic-
ally. The process is tailored to whatever is being baked. Depending on the application
used, a shiny or rustic crust is produced.
With «Professional baking classical», the settable temperature corresponds to that
of the hot air phase. The temperature during the steam phase is preset.
For a nice, crispy crust: the smaller the item to be baked, the higher the temperat-
ure. The optimum temperature for bread buns is generally higher than for a single
loaf of bread.
Professional baking comprises the following application areas:
Flour-dusted
«Professional baking flour-dusted» has a longer steam phase at the beginning, which
is followed by a hot air phase. It is particularly suitable for bread loaves and rolls with a
good crust. It is recommended that the appliance be preheated before starting this ap-
plication.
Glazed
«Professional baking glazed» is suitable for baked goods such as plaited bread and
puff pastries that have been glazed with an egg wash or another liquid. The process pre-
vents the egg wash running and gives a shiny finish. It is recommended that the appli-
ance be preheated before starting this application.
38
5 Applications
Classical
«Professional baking classical» is based on a process that gives pastries, e.g. puff
pastries, a shiny finish, without the need for an egg or other wash. It starts with a cold
cooking space and a steam phase. This is followed by a hot air phase.
The appliance door must not be opened during the steam phase. If the appliance
door is opened while professional baking is running, this will extend the steaming
phase and the bread will be oversteamed. The bread comes out flatter as a result.
Proofing
«Professional baking proofing» allows raw and shaped dough to rise in an ideal con-
trolled atmosphere. The temperature is automatically regulated to the set temperature
and humidity.
Selecting and starting professional baking
▸ Long touch the display.
– The start screen appears.
▸ Select the «Professional baking» application group and confirm with «OK», if re-
quired (see page 18).
▸ Select the desired application and confirm with «OK».
– The settings for the application appear in the display.
▸ Set the temperature and operating time, if required.
▸ Put in the food.
▸ Press «Start» to start Professional baking.
With «Professional baking flour-dusted» and «Professional baking glazed», put the
food in after preheating has ended. A corresponding message will appear. The
food can now be put into the cooking space and the message confirmed. The pro-
cess starts.
Fill the water tank with fresh water and slot into position in the water tank compart-
ment.
5.10 Soft roasting
How it functions
The «Soft roasting» function allows high-quality cuts of meat to be prepared gently.
The end of operation can be set precisely, irrespective of the weight and thickness of the
meat. The temperature is automatically controlled. For long operating times, the temper-
ature is controlled such that it corresponds to low-temperature cooking.
Depending on the type of meat, the cooking time can be set between 1½ and 4½ hours.
Tips for best results
▪ Take the meat out of the refrigerator some 30–60 minutes before soft roasting.
▪ Weight of meat: 500–2000 g
▪ Meat thickness: at least 4cm
▪ Quality: high-quality (not too aged) meat
▪ Select a long cooking time for marbled cuts of meat such as shoulder or neck.

Soft roasting seared
▸ Season or marinate the meat.
Remove any marinade made with herbs, mustard, etc. from the meat before sear-
ing. These constituents easily burn.
▸ Salt the meat immediately before searing.
▸ Briefly sear the meat on all sides for no longer than 5 minutes.
▸ Then place the meat on the wire shelf.
40
5 Applications
The meat can also be browned after cooking. This has little effect on the degree of
doneness of large cuts of meat. For small cuts of meat, the target temperature
should be reduced by 2–3°C.
▸ Insert the food probe into the meat so that the tip is in the centre of the thickest part.
For a correct food probe temperature reading, the food probe must as far as pos-
sible be fully inserted into the centre of the food. The temperature inside the meat
is crucial for optimal results at the end of cooking.
▸ Put the wire shelf with the meat at level 2 and a baking tray, which has been lined with
aluminium foil, at level1.
▸ Insert the food probe plug into the socket.

8.10 Descaling
How it functions
Whenever steam is produced, depending on the hardness of the local water supply (i.e.
the limescale content of the water), limescale is deposited in the boiler.
The appliance automatically detects and indicates when descaling is necessary.
The cleaning programme guides you step-by-step through the descaling process.
We recommend descaling the appliance whenever the message appears. Contin-
ued failure to descale the appliance will likely impair its functions or cause damage
to the appliance. Descaling takes about 45 minutes.
59
8 Care and maintenance
Descaling interval
The time interval between descaling depends on the hardness of the water and fre-
quency of use. If steaming 4× 30 minutes per week, the appliance must be descaled –
depending on water hardness – roughly as follows:
Water hardness Descale after about
Very hard 5 months
Hard 7 months
Medium 9 months
Soft 12 months
Calling up the remaining operating time
The approximate operating time remaining with steam until the next descaling can be
called up in the user settings under «Descaling».
Descaler
durgol swiss steamer
Using the wrong descaler can damage the appliance!
Only use «durgol swiss steamer» to descale your appliance. The descaler contains
highly effective acid. Immediately rinse away any splashes with water. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
See «Accessories and spare parts» for where to obtain this descaler.
«durgol swiss steamer» was developed especially for this appliance.
Standard descaling solutions are not suitable as they may contain foam-
creating additives or not be effective enough.
Using a different descaler could cause
▪ overfoaming inside the appliance
▪ insufficient descaling of the boiler
▪ damage to the appliance in the worst case.
Starting descaling
The appliance must have cooled down before descaling.
Remove accessories, cookware or other objects from the cooking space. Do not
leave the appliance unattended: during the descaling process, the descaler must
be added and the water tank must be emptied. The appliance door must be
closed during descaling.
60
8 Care and maintenance
When the message «Do you want to descale the appliance now? You must accompany
the process.» appears in the display:
▸ Touch «Yes».
– The following appears in the display: «The appliance is being prepared for descal-
ing.»
If an acoustic signal is emitted and «Residual heat too high» appears in the dis-
play, the appliance has not cooled down sufficiently and the descaling process
cannot be started.
▸ Allow the appliance to cool down.
▸ When the corresponding message appears in the display: pour 0.5l undiluted de-
scaler into the water tank, insert the tank and confirm with «OK».
– The descaling process starts.
– The following appears in the display: «Descaling appliance.»
For safety reasons, once started the descaling process cannot be cancelled.
Discarding the rinsing solution
▸ When the corresponding message appears in the display: remove the water tank,
pour the rinsing solution away and fill it with 1l warm water.
▸ Put the water tank back.
– The rinsing phase starts automatically.
– The following appears in the display: «Rinsing appliance.»
▸ Repeat the procedure as often as required by the appliance.
As the water is heated up during final rinsing, the appliance door may steam up.
Ending the descaling process
▸ As soon as the corresponding message appears: remove, empty and dry the water
tank.
▸ Confirm the message with «OK».
– The following appears in the display: «Appliance was descaled successfully.»
▸ Confirm the message with «OK».
– The appliance is ready for operation again.
▸ Wipe up any water in the bottom of the cooking space with a soft cloth.
After descaling, if the , , or application is used the water that is
pumped back into the water tank at the end of cooking may be cloudy. This will
not affect the cooking or baking characteristics nor the quality of the food being
cooked or baked.

12.2 General tips
▪ A variety of food can be cooked at the same time, e.g. rice or pulses together with ve-
getables that have similar cooking times, saving energy.
▪ Cook grains (e.g. rice and millet) and pulses (e.g. lentils), adding an appropriate
amount of liquid, directly in suitable tableware.
▪ Put the tableware directly on the perforated cooking tray or wire shelf.
12.3 Saving energy
The «Hot air humid» and especially the «Hot air eco» applications consume less
energy than the «Hot air» application.
▸ Avoid opening the appliance door frequently.
▸ Only switch the illumination on when needed.
▸ Use residual heat: for cooking times over 30 minutes, switch the appliance off 5–10
minutes before the end of the operating time.
▸ Only preheat the cooking space if the cooking or baking results depend on it.
▸ Minimize preheating.
Power consumption can be reduced to a minimum by selecting «Hide time» in the
