Sous-vide

Sous-vide is a type of low-temperature cooking during
which vacuum-sealed food is cooked at low
temperatures between 50-95 °C and 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 envelope retains the nutrients and
flavours.
Notes
If the water tank runs dry while sous-vide cooking,
■
the operation is interrupted.
During sous-vide cooking, more condensate forms
■
on the cooking compartment floor than for other
cooking methods.

correctly. ~ "Basic settings" on page 25

Warning – Risk of injury and risk of fire!
Only fill the water tank with water or with the descaling
solution that is recommended by us. Do not pour any
flammable liquids (e.g. alcoholic drinks) into the water
tank. Due to hot surfaces, vapours from flammable
liquids may catch fire in the cooking compartment
(explosion). The appliance door may spring open. Hot
steam and jets of flame may escape.
:
Warning – Risk of burns!
The water tank may heat up while the appliance is in
operation. Wait until the water tank has cooled down
after the previous appliance operation. Remove the
water tank from the water tank recess.
Caution!
The appliance may become damaged due to the use of
unsuitable liquids.
Do not use distilled water, highly chlorinated tap water
(> 40 mg/l) or other liquids.
Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or
uncarbonated mineral water.
