12 Low-Temperature Cooking

Low-temperature cooking is the ideal cooking method for cooking all tender pieces of meat which are to be cooked medium rare or "à point". The meat remains very juicy and turns out as soft as butter. Since the times for low-temperature cooking are considerably longer, you have plenty of leeway for menu planning. Meat that is cooked at a low temperature is easy to keep warm.

Note the recommended settings. (See "Recommended settings for low-temperature cooking", Page 10)

12.1 Tips for Low-Temperature Cooking

This is where you will find tips for achieving good results when cooking at a low temperature.

• Only use fresh, good-quality meat. Carefully remove sinews and fat from around the edge. Fat develops a strong, distinct taste during low-temperature cooking.
• Even larger pieces of meat do not need to be turned.
• You can cut the meat immediately after low-temperature cooking. No standing time is required.
• Due to the special cooking method, the meat always looks pink on the inside. This does not mean, however, that the meat is raw or not well done enough.
• Meat that is cooked at a low temperature is not as hot as conventionally roasted meat. Ensure that the sauces are very hot when you serve them. Place the plates in the appliance in the last 20-30 minutes.
• If you want to keep meat that is cooked at a low temperature warm, select 60 °C. Small pieces of meat can be kept warm for up to 45 minutes and large pieces for up to 2 hours.

12.2 Starting the "Low-Temperature Cooking" Function

1. Only use suitable cookware made from glass, porcelain or ceramic with a lid, e.g. a glass roasting dish.
2. If no lid is available for the cookware, use heat-resistant cling film to cover the cookware.
3. Place the cookware on the bottom of the appliance.
4. Press to preheat the cookware.
5. Close the appliance. The operation indicator flashes while the appliance is preheating. The operation indicator lights up, the appliance heats up and the fan runs.
6. Rapidly heat a little fat in a pan.
7. Sear the meat.
8. Place food into the preheated cookware.
9. Put the lid on the cookware or cover it using heat-resistant cling film.
10. Place the cookware with the meat in the appliance.
11. Press . ✅ The default temperature lights up in colour. The available temperatures light up.
12. If required, select another temperature.
13. Close the appliance. The operation indicator flashes while the appliance is preheating. The operation indicator lights up, the appliance heats up and the fan runs.

12.3 Ending the "Low-Temperature Cooking" Function

⚠️ WARNING – Risk of burns! The accessories and cookware become very hot during operation.

13 Additional Applications

Your appliance offers additional useful applications. Note the recommended settings. (See "Recommended settings for other applications", Page 11)

14 Defrosting

You can use your appliance to defrost frozen food gently and more evenly than in the microwave. Note the recommended settings. (See "Recommended settings for defrosting", Page 12)

14.1 Defrosting Food

⚠️ WARNING – Risk of harm to health! When defrosting food from animal sources, the transmission of germs is possible.

• When defrosting food from animal sources, you must remove the liquid that escapes during defrosting. Ensure that the liquid that escapes during defrosting never comes into contact with other foods.

1. Remove the food from the packaging before defrosting.
2. Only defrost the amount of food that you require immediately.
3. Turn the meat or fish after half of the defrosting time has elapsed.
4. Break up frozen clumps of food comprising many pieces, e.g. berries and pieces of meat.

Notes

• The defrosting time depends on the size, weight and shape of the frozen food. To reduce the defrosting time, freeze food flat or in individual portions.
• In some cases, defrosted food may no longer be kept for as long and it may spoil more quickly than fresh food. Prepare defrosted food immediately and cook it thoroughly.
• Fish does not need to be fully defrosted. It is sufficient to defrost fish until the surface is soft enough for seasoning/spices to stick.

23.4 Instructions for the Electrical Connection

In order to safely connect the appliance to the electrical system, follow these instructions.

⚠️ WARNING – Risk of electric shock! It must always be possible to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. The appliance must only be connected to a protective contact socket that has been correctly installed.

• The mains plug for the mains power cable must be easily accessible after the appliance is installed.
• If this is not possible, an all-pole isolating switch must be integrated into the permanent electrical installation according to the conditions of overvoltage category III and according to the installation regulations.
• The permanent electrical installation must only be wired by a professional electrician. We recommend installing a residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) in the appliance's power supply circuit.
• Improper repairs are dangerous.
• Repairs to the appliance should only be carried out by trained specialist staff.
• Only use genuine spare parts when repairing the appliance.
• If the power cord or the appliance power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special power cord or special appliance power cable, which is available from the manufacturer or its Customer Service.
• If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by trained specialist staff.

The appliance corresponds to protection class I and must only be operated with a protective earth connection.

The fuse protection must correspond to the power rating specified on the appliance's rating plate and to local regulations.

The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply whenever installation work is being carried out. The appliance must only be connected using the power cable provided. Fully connect the power cord to the back of the appliance.

The power cord must only be replaced with a cord from the original manufacturer. The power cable can be obtained from customer service. Contact protection must be ensured by the installation. Connecting cables with various plug types are available from customer service.

Power Cable with a Plug with Earthing Contact

For an appliance with a plug with earthing contact, follow these instructions.

• Connect the appliance only to a correctly installed, earthed socket.
• If the plug with earthing contact can no longer be accessed after installation, an energy-isolating device in the phases must be provided in the permanent electrical installation in accordance with the installation regulations.
• Do not use extension cables, socket strips or multiple socket strips. Overloading leads to a risk of fire.

23.5 Safe Installation

Follow these safety instructions when installing the appliance.

⚠️ WARNING – Risk of suffocation! Children may put packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate.

Always install the vacuuming drawer below the culinary warming drawer.

Suitable tilt protection (order number: 12039458) can be obtained from customer service, on our website or in the online shop. (See "Fitting tilt protection", Page 19)

Do not install the appliance above an appliance that generates steam, e.g. above a dishwasher, a combi-steam oven or a steam oven.
