Cooking and baking
You have acquired a modern appliance which “differs” from older appliances in
its operation. This is why, particularly in old recipe books, the recommended
temperatures for cooking and baking are frequently too high and the rack levels
indicated are not optimal for your appliance.
In the setting tables (see chapter “Instructions for use, setting tables” beginning on
page 33) you will find details for the optimal utilisation of your appliance. Should
you be in any doubt, use this information as a guideline, taking into consideration
the fact that the information in these tables refers to typical methods of cooking
and can therefore only serve as recommendations.
After being in use for a certain period, the oven interior will take on a golden
colour. This is a normal development in the case of stainless steel and does not
influence cooking or baking properties, nor does it represent an impairment of the
appliance.
Prior to initial use of the appliance, it must be prepared for use in accordance with
section “Initial operation” on page 9 .
Do not forget: Baking and cooking result in the occurence of
heat. Risk of burns!
Please read the safety instructions prior to cooking or baking
page 4.

... Cooking and baking

The operating modes and their application
Your appliance offers you the following heating methods for cooking and baking,
described below in more detail.
Steaming
During “Steaming” steam streams from a steam generator into the oven cavity. At
the same time, hot air facillitates the process of heating up in the appliance. The
steam heats up and cooks the food.
Your appliance enables gentle cooking at a precise temperature and requires very
little water.
The operating mode “Steaming” is suitable for cooking all types of vegetables,
while maintaining their colour and flavour. Steaming is gentle on vitamins and
minerals and they are not lost during the “process”. Vegetables should only be
salted and spiced after cooking. On “Steaming” vegetables, the perforated
cooking pan should be used since it enables the food to be evenly subjected to
steam throughout.
Meat, too, can be steamed, although beef is not always suitable. It is best to put
the meat into a suitable casserole dish made of glass, porcelain or some similar
material.
In addition, if you add a liquid (such as boullion), rice, various grain products (for
example millet, cous-cous, quinoa or similar products) and pulses can be cooked.
As with meat, use a suitable glass or porcelain casserole dish.
Delicate desserts (such as caramel pudding) can be cooked at low temperatures
(approx. 90 °C). Simply put the pudding into small bowls and place them in the
perforated cooking pan.
Fish can also be gently cooked in the perforated cooking pan at a relatively low
temperature (approx. 80 °C).
Yogurt, too, can be made very conveniently in a short time. Use a suitable bowl,
or several bowls, and set the temperature at 40 °C .
• Suggested oven temperature: 100 °C
(equivalent to the maximum possible boiling
temperature)
• Application range: 40 to 100 °C

... Cooking and baking
19
Regenerating
In the case of “Regenerating” the oven is heated with steam and hot air. This
enables the food to be heated evenly and quickly without it drying out.
The operating mode “Regenerating” is suitable for reheating food cooked in
advance or for reheating leftovers. Regenerating can also be used to cook or heat
up partially ready-cooked or ready-cooked dishes, and deep-frozen products. The
required quantity is portioned onto a plate (not plastic) and does not need to be
covered. In the case of a single portion, insert the roasting grid at any level and
put the plate onto it. Up to four portions can be regenerated at any one time. In
order to do so, use the various levels as indicated below.
• Cooking pan at level 1
• Roasting grid at level 3
• Baking tray at level 5
• (Second) roasting grid
at level 6
• Suggested oven temperature: 130 °C
• Application range: 100 to 150 °C

Baking like professionals
In the case of “Baking like professionals” the food is placed in a cold oven, which
has not been pre-heated. When the process is started the food is dampened with
steam in a first phase (also termed misting), and then automatically adapted to the
second phase - the hot air phase - in a steaming period which depends on the
quantity of food contained in the oven.
The operating mode “Baking like professionals” is suitable for yeast or sour dough
products of any kind, whether wholemeal bread, small wheat bread rolls or a
yeast dough gugelhupf. This operating mode is also suitable for certain puff pastry
products, such as stuffed puff pastries or any type of simple puff pastries. Pretzels,
too, can be made with this mode. These may be either fresh or deep-frozen (but
not pre-baked).
The baked products no longer have to be coated (i.e. with egg, cream etc.). The
steam ensures a beautiful shiny crust. The baked products rise very well and are
pleasantly moist inside. Bread, cakes, biscuits or pastries baked with the “Baking
like professionals” mode keep fresh for much longer than customary baking
products.
When using the “Baking like professionals” operating mode, only the original
stainless steel baking tray supplied or baking moulds made of glass or porcelain
should be used. Baking moulds made of sheet steel are not suitable for this mode
due to corrosion caused by steam. Baking trays or baking moulds can be lined
with greaseproof baking paper just like before.
Using the “Baking like professionals” mode several times in a row will not produce
the same good results. The appliance must cool down after each batch until the
“residual heat” indication in the clear text display switches off. This is necessary
for a new steam phase to produce good results.
• Suggested oven temperature: 210 °C
• Application range: 100 to 230 °C
