11.1 Setting options with steam
There are various ways in which you can prepare your
food with steam.
Types of steam heating
A variety of types of steam heating are available for
which hot steam is used to gently prepare food.
ATTENTION!
A lot of steam is produced during operation with the
types of steam heating. Condensate that collects in the
drip trough underneath the cooking compartment may
overflow and damage adjacent units.
▶ Do not open the appliance door, or open it as infre-
quently as possible, while the appliance is in opera-
tion.
fullSteam Plus
During steaming with fullSteam Plus , hot steam sur-
rounds the food to prevent it from losing nutrients. This
cooking method also helps to retain the shape, colour
and typical flavour of the food.
When temperatures between 105°C and 120°C are
set, the cooking time is reduced. This means that even
more nutrients and vitamins are retained when steam-
ing.
Reheating
The reheat function can be used to warm up food
that has already been cooked, or bread and pastries
from the day before, without affecting their quality.
Proving dough
Dough proves considerably more quickly using the
dough proving steam heating type than at room tem-
perature and does not dry out.
Defrosting
Use the defrost function to defrost deep-frozen and
frozen products gently without affecting the quality.
Sous-vide
Sous-vide is a type of low-temperature cooking dur-
ing which vacuum-sealed food is cooked at low tem-
peratures between 50-95°C with 100% steam. Sous-
vide is suitable for meat, fish, vegetables and desserts.
A chamber vacuum-packing machine is used to heat-
seal the food in special air-tight, heat-resistant cooking
bags. The protective cooking bag helps retain flavour
and nutrients.
WARNING‒Risk of scalding!
Hot water collects on the vacuum-sealing bag during
cooking.
▶ Use an oven cloth to carefully lift the vacuuming bag
so that the hot water runs off into the universal pan
or the cooking container.
▶ Use an oven cloth to carefully remove the vacuum-
ing bag.
Note:During sous-vide cooking, more condensate
forms on the cooking compartment floor than for other
types of heating.
ATTENTION!
Risk of damage to kitchen units Too much water has
collected on the cooking compartment floor. The water
may leak out of the appliance.
▶ Do not exceed the maximum duration of several
hours.
Added steam
When you cook with added steam, the appliance intro-
duces steam into the cooking compartment at various
intervals. This gives your food a crispy crust and a
shiny surface. Meat stays juicy and tender, and only un-
dergoes a minimum reduction in volume.
You can combine added steam with the following
functions:

Steam jet
You can use the steam jet function to specifically add
intensive steam at various intervals. This makes bread
and bread rolls in particular wonderfully crispy and
gives them a golden colour.
The appliance adds clouds of steam to the cooking
compartment for approx. 3 to 5 minutes. Depending on
the operation, you can activate the steam jet several
times.
You can add the steam jet for the following functions:
