Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (includingremoval of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user.Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by aMiele authorised technician.

A damaged appliance is dangerous. Check the appliance for anyvisible damage. Never install or attempt to use a damagedappliance.

Reliable and safe operation of this oven can only be assured if ithas been connected to the mains electricity supply.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteedwhen continuity is complete between it and an effective earthingsystem. It is most important that this basic safety requirement ispresent and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, thehousehold wiring system should be inspected by a qualifiedelectrician.

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure thatthe connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond inorder to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult aqualified electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by amulti-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guaranteethe required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it hasbeen built in.

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).

Tampering with electrical connections or components andmechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can causeoperational faults. Do not open the outer casing of the appliance.


10

The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance isnot repaired by a Miele approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spareparts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of theappliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the plug has been removed or the connection cable is notsupplied with a plug, the steam oven must be connected to themains supply by a suitably qualified electrician.

If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replacedwith a special mains connection cable (see “Installation – Electricalconnection”).

During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliancemust be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is onlycompletely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the mains circuit breaker, or

– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn fromthe socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mainsplug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricitysupply.

If the steam oven is installed behind a furniture front (e.g. a door),do not close the furniture front while the steam oven is in use. Heatand moisture can build up behind a closed furniture door. This canresult in damage to the steam oven, the housing unit and the floor.Leave the furniture door open until the steam oven has cooled downcompletely.

In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches orother vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance andits surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused bycockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the warranty.


11

Correct use

Risk of injury caused by hot surfaces and steam. The steam ovengets hot during operation. You could burn yourself on the ovencompartment, shelf runners, accessories, food or steam. Wear oven gloves when placing food in the oven or removing it, andwhen adjusting oven shelves etc. in a hot oven.

Risk of injury caused by hot food. Food may spill or splash around when placing it into the oven orremoving it. The food can cause burns. When placing cooking containers in the oven or removing them,make sure that the hot food does not spill.

Risk of injury due to hot water.At the end of a cooking programme, hot water left in the steamgenerator is pumped back into the water container. Take care not totip the water container when taking it out of the appliance.

Do not use the steam oven to heat up or bottle food in sealed tins.Pressure will build up inside them and they can explode causingdamage to the appliance, as well as the risk of injury and scalding.

Plastic dishes which are not heat-resistant and steam-resistantmelt at high temperatures and can damage the appliance. Use only heat-resistant (to 100 °C) and steam-resistant plasticdishes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Food which is left in the oven compartment can dry out and themoisture released can lead to corrosion damage in the steam oven.Do not leave food in the oven compartment and do not use anycooking containers which are susceptible to corrosion.

Risk of injury from the open door. You could bang into the opendoor or trip over it. Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily.


12

The door can support a maximum load of 8 kg. Do not sit on orlean against an open door, and do not place heavy objects on it.Also make sure that nothing can get trapped between the door andthe oven compartment. The steam oven could get damaged.

When using a small electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held blender,near the steam oven, care should be taken that the cable of theappliance cannot get trapped by the steam oven door. The insulationon the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shockhazard.


13

Cleaning and care

Risk of injury due to electric shock. The steam from a steamcleaning appliance could reach electrical components and cause ashort circuit. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning.

Scratches on the door glass can result in the glass breaking.Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard sponges, brushes or sharp metaltools to clean the door glass.

The shelf runners can be removed (see “Cleaning and care –Cleaning the shelf runners”).Refit the shelf runners correctly.

Try to avoid the interior walls being splashed with food or liquidscontaining salt. If it does happen, wipe these away thoroughly toavoid corrosion on the stainless steel surface.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts oraccessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will beinvalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment

Setting the correct boilingpoint for waterBefore cooking food for the first time,you must adjust the boiling temperatureof the water, which varies depending onthe altitude of where the steam oven islocated. This procedure also flushes outthe waterways.

This procedure must be carried outto ensure efficient functioning of yourappliance.

Distilled or carbonated water or otherliquids could damage the steamoven.Only use cold, fresh tap water(below 20 °C).

Remove the water container and fill itup to the maximum marker.

Push the water container into theappliance.

Run the steam oven for 15 minutesusing the Steam cooking function(100 °C). Proceed as described in“Operation”.

Setting the correct boiling point forwater following a house move

If you move house, the boiling point forthe water in the steam oven will need tobe reset for the new altitude if thisdiffers from the old one by 300 m ormore. To do this, descale the appliance(see “Cleaning and care – Descaling thesteam oven”).

General notes

51

This section contains generalinformation. You will find more detailedinformation about particular foods andhow to cook them in the other sections.

The advantages of cookingwith steamAlmost all vitamins and minerals areretained as the food is not immersed inwater.

Cooking with steam also retains thetrue taste of the food better thanconventional cooking. We thereforerecommend seasoning the food after ithas been cooked. Food also retains itsfresh, original colour.

Suitable containers

Cooking containers

This steam oven is supplied withstainless steel cooking containers.Other containers, in a variety of sizes,both perforated and solid, are availableas optional extras (see “Optionalaccessories”). This enables you tochoose the most suitable container forthe food you are preparing.

Where possible, it is best to useperforated cooking containers for steamcooking. The steam can reach the foodfrom all sides and the food is cookedevenly.

Your own containers

You can also use your own containers.However, please note the following:

– Containers must be heat-resistant to100 °C and able to withstand steam.With plastic containers, please checkwith the manufacturer that they aresuitable for use in a steam oven.

– Thick-sided containers made fromporcelain, ceramic, or stoneware arenot very suitable for using withsteam. Due to their thick sides, theydo not conduct heat well and as aresult cooking durations will beconsiderably longer than those givenin the charts.

– Place the cooking container on therack or in a suitable container, andnot on the oven floor.

– Ensure that there is a gap betweenthe upper rim of the container andthe top of the cooking compartmentto allow sufficient steam into thecontainer.

Condensate trayPlace the condensate tray on shelf level1 when using perforated containers. This collects any drops of liquid andallows these to be removed easily.

You can also use the condensate trayas a cooking container if necessary.

General notes

52

Shelf levelYou can select any shelf level. You canalso cook on several levels at the sametime. This will not alter the cookingduration.

When using more than one deepcontainer at the same time for steamcooking, it is best to offset them ontheir runners and to leave at least onelevel free in between them.

Always insert cooking containers andthe rack between the rails of the shelfrunners so that they cannot tip.

FrozenThe heating-up phase for frozen food islonger than for fresh food. The greaterthe quantity of frozen food, the longerthe heating-up phase.

TemperatureDuring steam cooking, the temperaturedoes not exceed 100 °C. Almost allfoods can be cooked at thistemperature. Some types of food, suchas berries, need to be cooked at lowertemperatures to prevent them frombursting. See the relevant sections inthese operating instructions for moredetails.

DurationDuring steam cooking, the cookingduration does not begin until the settemperature is reached.

In general, the cooking durations forcooking with steam are the same as forcooking food in a saucepan. Moreinformation about any factors whichmay affect the cooking duration is givenin the relevant sections.

The quantity of food does not affect thecooking duration. 1 kg of potatoes willtake the same time to cook as 500 g ofpotatoes.

Cooking with liquidWhen cooking with liquid, only fill thecooking container ²/₃ full to prevent theliquid spilling when the cookingcontainer is removed from the oven.

Your own recipesFood which is cooked in a pot or a pancan also be cooked in the steam oven.The cooking durations in the steamoven will be the same. Please note thatfood will not be brown or crisp whencooking with steam.

Eco Steam cookingYou can use the Eco Steam cookingfunction to save energy during steamcooking. This function is suitable mainlyfor cooking fish and vegetables.

We recommend using the cookingdurations and temperatures given in thechart under “Steam cooking”. You can cook for longer if necessary.

When cooking starchy foods such aspotatoes, rice and pasta, the bestfunction to use is Steam cooking .

Vegetables

Fresh

Prepare fresh vegetables in the usualway, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.

Frozen food

Frozen vegetables do not need to bedefrosted beforehand. Exception: thevegetables have been frozen together ina block.

Frozen and fresh vegetables which takethe same length of time to cook can becooked together.

If vegetables have frozen together inclumps, break these up before cookingwith steam. Follow the manufacturer’sinstructions on the packaging regardingcooking duration.

Cooking containers

Food such as peas or asparagusspears, which have little or no spacebetween them, will take longer to cookbecause the steam has less space towork in. For an even result, it is best touse a shallow container for these typesof food, and only fill it about 3 - 5 cmdeep. When cooking large quantities,divide the food between 2 or 3 shallowcontainers rather than using one deepone.

Different types of vegetables which takethe same length of time to cook can becooked together in one cookingcontainer.

Use solid containers for vegetableswhich are cooked in liquid, e.g.cabbage.

Shelf level

When cooking vegetables with adistinctive colour (e.g. beetroot) in aperforated container at the same timeas cooking other foods in othercontainers, place the solid tray directlyunderneath the perforated container tocatch any drips and therefore avoid anycolour transfer.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on thesize of the food and how well cookedyou want it, just as it does withconventional cooking methods.Example:Firm potatoes, cut into quarters: approx. 12 minutesFirm potatoes, cut in half: approx. 17 minutes

Fish

Fresh

Prepare fresh fish in the usual way, i.e.clean, gut and fillet.

Frozen

Fish does not need to be fully defrostedbefore cooking. Defrost so that thesurface is sufficiently thawed to takeherbs and seasoning. Depending on thethickness of the fish, 2–5 minutesshould be enough.

Preparation

Add some lemon or lime juice to fishbefore cooking. The citric acid helps theflesh stay firm.

It is not necessary to season fish whencooking with steam as this methodretains the minerals which give the fishits unique flavour.

Cooking containers

If using a perforated container, grease itfirst or line it with baking paper.

Shelf level

When cooking fish in a perforatedcontainer at the same time as cookingother types of food in other containers,place the container with the fish directlyabove the glass or collecting tray(depending on the model) to catch anyliquid and so avoid any transfer offlavours to other food.

Temperature

85 °C – 90 °C For gently cooking delicate types offish, such as flounder.

100 °CFor cooking firmer types of fish, e.g.salmon.Also for cooking fish in sauce or stock.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on thethickness and the texture of the fish,and not on the weight. The thicker thefish, the longer the cooking duration. A3 cm thick piece of fish weighing 500 gwill take longer to cook than a 2 cmthick piece of fish weighing 500 g.

The longer fish cooks, the firmer itsflesh will become. Use the cookingdurations given in the chart. If you findthat the fish is not cooked sufficiently,only cook it for a few minutes more.

When cooking fish in sauce or stock,we recommend that you increase thecooking duration quoted by a fewminutes.

Steam cooking

58

Useful tips

– Adding herbs and spices, such asdill, will help bring out the full flavourof the fish.

– Cook large fish in the swimmingposition. To help maintain thestructure of the fish, place a smallcup or similar upside down in thecooking container. Arrange the fishbellyside down over the cup.

– You can use any fish scraps, e.g. fishheads, bones, tails etc. to make afish stock. Place the fish scrapstogether with some mixed vegetablesin a solid cooking container and addcold water. Cook at 100 °C for 60 to90 minutes. The longer the cookingduration, the stronger the stock.

– Preparing fish au bleu is a methodinvolving cooking the fish in waterwith vinegar, at different proportionsdepending on the recipe. It isimportant not to damage the skin ofthe fish. This method is suitable forcooking trout, tench, eel and salmon.

Meat

Fresh

Prepare the meat in the usual way.

Frozen food

Meat should be thoroughly defrostedbefore cooking in the steam oven (see“Special applications” – “Defrost”).

Preparation

Meat which needs to be seared beforebeing cooked, e.g. stewing steak,should be seared in a pan on thecooktop.

Duration

The cooking duration depends on thethickness and the texture of the meat,and not on the weight. The thicker thepiece of meat, the longer the cookingduration. A piece of meat weighing 500g which is 10 cm thick will take longerto cook than a piece of meat weighing500 g which is 5 cm thick.

Useful tips

– To retain the flavourings, use aperforated cooking container. Placean unperforated cooking containerunderneath in order to collect theconcentrate. You can use theconcentrate to enhance your saucesor freeze it for later use.

– Boiling chicken, back or top rib andmeat bones can be used to makestock. Place the meat together withthe bones and some mixedvegetables in a cooking containerand add cold water. The longer thecooking duration, the stronger thestock.

Menu cooking

Before cooking meals with themanual Menu cooking function,switch off steam reduction (see“Settings – Steam reduction”).

Menu cooking involves cooking variousfoods with different cooking times inorder to serve them all together in onemeal, e.g. rosefish fillet with rice andbroccoli. Foods are placed in the steam oven atdifferent times so that they are all readyat the same time.

Shelf level

Place foods that produce a lot of liquids(e.g. fish) or have a distinctive colour(e.g. beetroot) directly above the glasstray or condensate tray (depending onthe model). This avoids any transfer offlavour or colour to other food bypreventing liquid dripping onto foodbelow it.

Temperature

Whole meals should be cooked at atemperature of 100 °C as this is thetemperature required to cook themajority of foods. Do not cook a whole meal at the lowesttemperature when differenttemperatures are required for differenttypes of food, e.g. 85 °C for seabreamand 100 °C for potatoes.

If the recommended cookingtemperature for the food is 85 °C forexample, try cooking it at 100 °C andtesting the result. Some delicate typesof fish with a soft structure, e.g.flounder will become very firm whencooked at 100 °C.

Duration

If you increase the recommendedtemperature, shorten the cookingduration by approx. ¹/₃.

Example:

Food cooking durations (see cooking charts in “Steam cooking”)

Parboiled rice 24 minutes

Rosefish fillet 6 minutes

Broccoli 4 minutes

Calculation of set cooking durations:

24 minutes minus6 minutes = 18 minutes (1st cookingduration: rice)

6 minutes minus 4 minutes = 2 minutes(2nd cooking duration: rosefish fillet)

Remaining time = 4 minutes(3rd cooking duration: broccoli

Duration 24 min. – rice

Set the third cooking duration:4 minutes.

Sous-vide (vacuum) cooking

74

With this gentle cooking method, foodis cooked slowly and at a low, constanttemperature in vacuum packaging.

With vacuum cooking, no moistureevaporates during cooking and allnutrients and flavours are retained.

The cooking result has an intensivetaste and food is cooked evenly.

Use only fresh food which is in agood condition.Ensure hygienic conditions and thatfood has not been out of therefrigerator too long, e.g. duringtransportation.

Use only heat-stable, boiling-resistant vacuum bags.Do not cook food in the salespackaging, such as vacuum-packedfrozen food as it is possible that thepackaging used is not suitable forvacuum cooking.Do not use the vacuum bag morethan once.

Vacuum-seal the food in a chambersystem vacuum sealer only.


75

Important notes on useFor an optimum cooking result:

– Use herbs and spices more sparinglythan with conventional methodsbecause the impact on the taste ofthe food will be stronger.You can also cook the foodunseasoned and add seasoning aftercooking.

– The cooking duration is reducedwhen salt, sugar, and liquids areadded.

– The food becomes firmer if acidicfoods, such as lemon or vinegar areadded.

– Do not use alcohol or garlic as thiscan cause an unpleasant taste.

– Only use vacuum sealing bags thatmatch the size of the food. If thevacuum bag is too big, too much aircan remain inside.

– If you want to cook several pieces offood in one vacuum bag, put themside by side in the bag.

– If you want to cook food in severalvacuum sealing bags at once, put thebags side by side on the rack.

– The cooking durations depend on thethickness of the food.

– With higher temperatures and/orlonger cooking durations, theappliance may run low on water.Check the display from time to time.

– Keep the door closed during thecooking process. Opening the doorextends the cooking process and canchange the cooking result.

– Cooking at a lower temperature andfor a longer duration can result inincreased residual water in thecooking compartment. This does notaffect the cooking results.

– Temperatures and cooking durationsfrom sous-vide recipes cannotalways be emulated exactly. Alter thesettings to achieve the degree ofcooking you want.


76

Useful tips– In order to reduce cooking times, you

can vacuum seal food items 1–2 daysbefore the cooking programme. Storethe vacuum-sealed food in therefrigerator at no more than 5 °C. Inorder to preserve quality and flavour,the food should be cooked no laterthan 2 days afterwards.

– Freeze liquids such as marinadesbefore vacuum sealing to preventthem from escaping from the bag.

– Fold the edges of the vacuum sealingbag outwards for filling. This will giveyou clean, perfect weld seams.

– If you do not want to eat the foodstraight after cooking, put it in icedwater immediately and allow it to cooldown completely. After this, store thefood at temperatures no greater than5 °C. This way, you can retain the food’squality and flavour while keeping itfresh for longer. Exception: Poultry must be eatenstraight after the cooking programme.

– After cooking, cut the vacuum bag onall sides for easier access to thefood.

– Briefly fry meat and firm types of fish(such as salmon) before serving. Thiswill help to develop a roasted aroma.

– Use the brine or marinade ofvegetables, fish, or meat to make asauce.

– Serve the food on pre-warmedplates.


77

Using the Sous-vide function Rinse the food with cold water and

dry it.

Place the food in a vacuum bag andadd spices or liquid if desired.

Vacuum seal the food in a chambersystem vacuum sealer.

Place the condensate tray on shelflevel 1.

For the best cooking results, placethe rack on shelf level 2.

Place the vacuum-sealed food on therack (next to each other if there areseveral bags).

Select Sous-vide .

Change the recommendedtemperature if necessary.

Confirm with OK.

Set further settings as necessary (see“Operation”).

Possible causes for poorresultsThe vacuum bag has opened:

– The weld seam was not clean orstable enough and came undone.

– The bag was damaged by a sharpbone.

The food has an unpleasant or strangetaste:

– Incorrect storage of the food; thefood was kept out of the refrigeratorfor too long.

– The food was contaminated withbacteria before it was vacuumsealed.

– Too much of ingredients such asspices were added.

– The bag or weld seam were not inperfect order.

– The vacuum was insufficient.

– The food was not eaten or chilledimmediately after cooking.

ReheatingOnly reheat brassicas, such as kohlrabiand cauliflower, in combination with asauce. Without sauce, an unpleasantcabbage-like taste and grey-browncolour may develop.

Foods with a short cooking time andthose which have a different degree ofdoneness when reheated, e.g. fish, arenot suited to being reheated.

Preparation

Immediately after cooking, place thefood in ice cold water and leave forapproximately one hour. The rapidcooling inhibits continued cooking ofthe food. This means the ideal degreeof doneness of the food remains as it is.Store the food afterwards in therefrigerator at max. 3 °C.

Please note that the quality of fooddeteriorates the longer it is stored.We recommend storing food in therefrigerator for no longer than fivedays before reheating it.

82

Reheat

To reheat food which was cookedusing the sous-vide method, use theSous-vide function (see “Sous-vide– Reheating”).

The steam oven is very effective atreheating food gently, without drying itout or cooking it further. The foodreheats evenly and does not need to bestirred during the reheating process.

You can reheat individual dishes orplated meals which have been preparedpreviously (e.g. meat, vegetables andpotatoes).

Suitable containers

Small quantities can be reheated on aplate, larger quantities should be placedin a cooking container.

Duration

The number of plates or containers hasno bearing on the time.

The times listed in the table relate to anaverage portion per plate. Increase theduration for larger quantities.

Useful tips

– Do not reheat large items, such as ajoint of roast meat, whole. Divide itinto portions and reheat these asplated meals.

– Compact items, such as stuffedcapsicum, roulades or dumplings,should be cut in half.

– Reheat sauces separately. Exceptionsare dishes such as goulash, which iscooked in sauce.

– Cover food when reheating it. Thiswill avoid steam condensing on thecrockery.

– Please note that breaded items, suchas schnitzel, will not retain theircrispness when they are reheated.

Heating food

Cover the food being warmed up witha plate or foil that is resistant totemperatures up to 100 °C and tosteam.

DefrostIt is much quicker to defrost items in thesteam oven than at room temperature.

Risk of infection from bacteria.Bacteria such as salmonella cancause life-threatening foodpoisoning.It is particularly important to observefood hygiene rules when defrostingfish and meat, and in particular whendefrosting poultry.Do not use the liquid producedduring defrosting.Process the food as required as soonas it has been defrosted.

Temperature

60 °C is the best temperature fordefrosting.Exceptions: 50 °C for minced meat andgame.

Before and after defrosting

Remove any packaging beforedefrosting. Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits andcakes in their packaging as otherwisethey will absorb moisture and becomesoft.

Allow food to stand at roomtemperature for a few minutes afterdefrosting. The standing time isnecessary to allow the even distributionof heat from the outside to the inside.

Cooking containers

Use a perforated container with a glasstray or condensate tray (depending onmodel) underneath it when defrostingfood which will drip, such as poultry.This way food will not be lying indefrosted liquid.

Foods which do not drip can bedefrosted in a solid cooking container.

Useful tips

– Fish does not need to be fullydefrosted before cooking. Defrost sothat the surface is sufficiently thawedto take herbs and seasoning.Depending on the thickness of thefish, 2–5 minutes is generally enough.

– When defrosting food which hasfrozen together, e.g. berries and meatportions, separate them half-waythrough the defrosting time.

– Do not refreeze food once it hasthawed.

– Defrost frozen ready meals accordingto the instructions on the packaging.

Make yoghurtTo prepare yoghurt, you will need milkand live culture or yoghurt starterpowder, e.g. from a health food store.

Use natural yogurt with live culture andwithout additives. Do not use heat-treated yogurt.

The yoghurt must be fresh (shortstorage time).

You can use either unchilled long-lifemilk or fresh milk. Long-life milk can be used as it is – nofurther preparation is required. Freshmilk must first be heated to 90 °C (donot boil it) and then cooled down to35 °C. Fresh milk will give a better setthan long-life milk.

The yoghurt and milk should have thesame percentage fat.

Do not move or shake the jars while theyoghurt is fermenting.

Immediately after preparation, leave theyoghurt to cool in the fridge.

The firmness, fat content and culturesused in the yoghurt starter all affect theconsistency of homemade yoghurt. Notall yoghurts are equally suitable asyoghurt starters.

Useful tip: If you are using yoghurtstarter powder, you can prepare theyoghurt from a mixture of milk andcream. For that, mix ³/₄ litre milk with ¹/₄litre cream.

Mix 100 g yoghurt with 1 litre of milkor make up the mixture with yoghurtenzyme, following the instructions onthe packaging.

Pour the mixture into glass jars andseal the jars.

Place the sealed jars in a perforatedcooking container or on the rack. Thejars must not touch each other.

Extracting juiceThis appliance is ideal for extractingjuice from soft, firm and hard fruit.

It is best to use overripe fruit, as theriper the fruit, the greater the quantity ofjuice produced. Very ripe fruit will alsoproduce a more intense flavour.

Preparation

Sort and rinse the fruit, and cut out anyblemishes.

Remove the stalks from grapes andmorello cherries as these are bitter.Berries do not need to have their stalksremoved.

Dice larger fruit such as apples intoapproximately 2 cm cubes. The harderthe fruit, the smaller the pieces shouldbe.

Useful tips

– Try experimenting with mild and tartflavours. For example, mix appleswith elderberries.

– Adding sugar will increase thequantity of juice produced andimprove the flavour. Sprinkle the fruitwith sugar and leave to absorb for afew hours before juicing. For 1 kg ofsweet fruit add 50–100 g of sugar,and for 1 kg of tart fruit add 100–150 g of sugar.

– If you wish to bottle the juice ratherthan consume it straight away, pour itwhilst hot into hot, sterilised bottlesup to the rim, and then sealimmediately with sterilised rubbertops.

Extracting juice from fruit

Put the prepared fruit (cleaned,washed, chopped etc.) into aperforated cooking container.

Place a solid container or a glass trayor condensate tray (depending on themodel) underneath to catch the juice.
