130 °C.
10013865-0ABBE-B

Description of the unit
19Operating instructions
Combisteaming
Combisteaming is a cooking mode, in which the steaming and hot air
cooking modes are combined. The temperature range extends from
30 °C to 250 °C.
Hot air
Hot air is a cooking mode, in which the food to be cooked is cooked
without additional moisture in a temperature range of 30 °C to 300 °C.
Perfection (regeneration)
Perfection is a cooking mode, in which cooled food to be cooked can
be kept warm and prepared in a short time in a temperature range of
30 °C to 150 °C.
10013865-0ABBE-B

Description of the unit
20 Operating instructions
Delta-T cooking
Delta-T cooking is a cooking mode, where the cooking temperature
depends on the core temperature of the food being cooked.
The cooking temperature is always higher than the current core
temperature by the amount of the set value (Delta-T value, cooking
temperature difference). The resulting cooking time is longer than
with other cooking modes.
Delta-T cooking is particularly suitable for gentle cooking. The food
being cooked remains tender and juicy with little weight loss.
Low-temperature cooking
Low-temperature cooking is a cooking mode, in which the food to be
cooked is cooked particularly gently in a temperature range of 30 °C
to 100 °C.
The cooking time is considerably longer than at higher temperatures,
but no supervision is required and the cooking time can be extended
considerably without any loss in quality.
The food being cooked remains tender and juicy with little weight
loss.
Baking
Baking is a cooking mode, in which the texture of the food to be
cooked is loosened and then cooked and browned by hot air in a
temperature range of 30 °C to 220 °C. Before baking takes place, a
humidifying process and its associated acting time can be performed.
3.3.3 Expanded cooking functions
Expanded cooking functions can be used to modify individual cooking
steps for the particular food being cooked.
The following expanded cooking functions are available:
PerfectHOLD
PerfectHOLD is a cooking function, in which the food to be cooked is
kept warm in the unit at a temperature range of 50 °C to 100 °C after
the actual cooking process, until it is ready to be served.
Ready2Cook (preheating)
For many cooking programs such as baking for example, the correct
starting temperature is important.
With Ready2Cook, the cooking zone can automatically be heated or
cooled to the correct starting temperature.
A screen-filling display gives information during the procedure about
the status.
