The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

Only preheat the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so. Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used by up to 20%.

Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins. These types of baking tin absorb the heat particularly well.

Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation. This maintains the temperature in the cooking compartment and eliminates the need for the appliance to reheat.

When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel. The cooking compartment is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the subsequent cakes.

For longer cooking times, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends. There is sufficient residual heat to finish cooking the dish.

Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment. Accessories that are not being used do not need to be heated.

Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking. This saves the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.

Switch off the display in the basic settings. Energy is saved when the display is switched off.

Use original accessories. These have been made especially for your NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven. Accessories may become deformed if they get hot. Deformation has no effect on function. As the accessory cools down, it will regain its original shape. The accessories supplied may differ depending on the appliance model.

The locking function prevents the accessories from tilting when they are pulled out.

You can pull out the accessories approximately halfway without them tipping. The accessories must be inserted into the cooking compartment correctly for the tilt protection to work properly.

Always slide the accessory into the cooking compartment the right way round. This is the only way to ensure that accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway without tipping.

1. Turn the accessories so that the notch is at the rear and is facing downwards.

2. Insert the accessory between the two guide rods for a shelf position.

For the wire rack: Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the appliance door.

For a tray (e.g. universal pan or baking tray): Slide the tray in with the sloping edge towards the appliance door.

To place accessories on inserted pull-out rails: Position the accessory such that it is inserted on the rear stop of the pull-out system. The pull-out rails lock in place when they are fully pulled out. Gently push the pull-out rails back into the cooking compartment.

3. Push the accessory all the way in, making sure that it does not touch the appliance door.

Take any accessories that you will not be using out of the cooking compartment while the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven is in operation.

You can combine the wire rack with the universal pan to catch any liquid that drips down.

1. Place the wire rack on the universal pan so that both spacers are on the rear edge of the universal pan.

2. Insert the universal pan between the two guide rods for a shelf position. In so doing, the wire rack is on top of the upper guide rod.

Before using the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven for the first time, ask your water supplier about the hardness of your tap water. To ensure that the appliance can reliably remind you to descale it when required, you must set your water hardness range correctly.

If the wrong water hardness has been set, the steam function is impaired and appliance cannot remind you to descale it at the right time. Set the water hardness correctly.

Using unsuitable liquids may damage the appliance. Do not use distilled water or other liquids. Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or non-carbonated mineral water.

Malfunctions may occur when using filtered or demineralised water. The NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven may request that you top up the water tank even though it may be full, or operation with steam is cancelled after approx. two minutes. If required, mix filtered or demineralised water with the bottled non-carbonated mineral water with a ratio of one to one.

If you are using mineral water, set the water hardness range to “very hard”. If you are using mineral water, you must only use non-carbonated mineral water.

If your tap water is very hard, we recommend that you use softened water. If you are using only softened water, set the “softened” water hardness range.

For some surfaces, you can use alternative cleaning agents.

2. Dry with a soft cloth.

The back panel in the cooking compartment is self-cleaning. The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous, matt ceramic layer and have a rough surface. When the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven is in operation, the self-cleaning surfaces absorb splashes from baking, roasting or grilling, and break them down. If the self-cleaning surfaces no longer clean themselves adequately during operation, heat up the cooking compartment specifically to the right temperature.

If you do not clean the self-cleaning surfaces regularly, they may become damaged. If dark stains are visible on the self-cleaning surfaces, heat up the cooking compartment. Do not use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaning aids. If oven cleaner accidentally comes into contact with the self-cleaning surfaces, dab it off immediately using water and a sponge cloth. Do not rub.

1. Remove accessories and cookware from the cooking compartment.

2. Detach the shelf supports and remove them from the cooking compartment.

3. Remove coarse dirt using soapy water and a soft cloth:

• From the smooth enamel surfaces

• From the inside of the appliance door

• From the glass cover on the oven lamp

This prevents stains that cannot be removed.

4. Remove any objects from the cooking compartment. The cooking compartment must be empty.

5. Set the bread-baking setting.

7. Start the operation.

8. Switch off the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven after 1 hour.

9. Once the appliance has cooled down, wipe the cooking compartment with a damp cloth.

Marks may appear on the self-cleaning surfaces. Residues of sugar and egg white in the food are not removed and stick to the surfaces. Red stains are residues from salty food – they are not rust. The stains are not hazardous to health. These marks do not impair the cleaning ability of the self-cleaning surfaces.

10. Attach the shelf supports.

Use the “Easy Clean” cleaning aid for intermediate cleaning of the cooking compartment. The “Easy Clean” cleaning aid softens dirt by vaporising the soapy water. It is then easier to remove the dirt.

Take note of the following information when cooking all types of food.

The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with.

The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. If you want to preheat anyway, do not place accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.

Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.

You can buy suitable accessories from customer service, from specialist retailers or online.

Dark-coloured metal baking tins are most suitable for baking cakes, bread and other baked goods.

Use wide, shallow cookware for bakes and gratins. Food takes longer to cook in deep, narrow cookware and it browns more on top.

If you are cooking bakes directly in the universal pan, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at level 1.

The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.

When the cooking compartment is hot, any water inside it will create steam. The change in temperature may cause damage. Never pour water into the cooking compartment when it is still hot. Never place cookware containing water on the cooking compartment floor.

You will obtain the best results if you use the following shelf positions. If you are baking on one level, use shelf position 1.

Shelf positions:

Use the CircoTherm hot air heating function.

Items that are placed in the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven on baking trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

The recommended settings are for fridge-temperature food and unstuffed, oven-ready poultry.

Place the poultry onto the cookware breast-side or skin-side down.

Turn roasting joints, grilled items or whole fish after approx. 1/2 to 2/3 of the specified time.

Roasting on the wire rack:

Food roasted on the wire rack will become very crispy on all sides. You can roast large poultry, for example, or multiple individual pieces at the same time.

Roast pieces of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.

Place the food to be roasted directly on the wire rack.

To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan, with the wire rack inside it, into the cooking compartment at the specified shelf height.

Add up to 1/2 litre of water to the universal pan, depending on the size and type of food that you want to roast. You can make a sauce from the juices that are collected. This also means that less smoke is produced and the cooking compartment does not become as dirty.

Roasting in cookware:

If you cover the cookware when you cook your food, this will keep the cooking compartment cleaner.

General information about roasting in cookware:

Use heat-resistant, ovenproof cookware.

Place the cookware on the wire rack.

Glass cookware is best.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your roasting dishes.

Roasting in uncovered cookware:

Use a deep roasting dish.

If you do not have any suitable cookware, you can use the universal pan.

Roasting in covered cookware:

Use a suitable lid that seals well.

When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm between the food and the lid. The meat may expand.

Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature. Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can escape away from you. Keep children away from the appliance.

Grilling:

Grill food if you want it to be crispy.

The “Grill” type of heating is good for cooking thinner pieces of poultry, meat and fish such as steaks, drumsticks and burgers. It is also excellent for toasting bread.

Circo-roasting is very well suited to cooking whole poultry and fish, as well as meat, e.g. roast pork with crackling.

When grilling several food items, choose pieces that are of a similar weight and thickness. The grilled food will brown evenly and will remain succulent and juicy.

Place the food to be grilled directly onto the wire rack.

To catch any liquids that drip down, place the universal pan into the cooking compartment at least one level below the wire rack.

The grill element switches on and off continuously. This is normal. The temperature that you set determines how frequently this occurs.

Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Cook your food gently. The food remains particularly succulent. In contrast to cooking with added steam, the meat does not become crispy on the outside.

Use uncovered, heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for cooking with steam.

The perforated steaming tray, size XL, is the best option here. To catch any liquid that drips down, slide the universal pan into the cooking compartment one level below. Alternatively, you can place a glass dish onto the wire rack.

Cover food that you would normally cook in a bain marie with film, e.g. cling film.

You do not need to turn the food.

To obtain a slightly different flavour, you can sear the meat, poultry or fish before steaming. Reduce the cooking time.

Larger food items require a longer heat-up time and a longer cooking time.

If you are using several pieces which are the same weight, the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven’s heat-up time is increased. The cooking time remains the same.

Open the door as infrequently as possible during steaming. Wipe the condensate drip tray after preparation. If the condensate drip tray overflows, this may cause damage to kitchen units.

The main part of the user manual contains information on how to configure the steam settings.

Vegetables on several levels:

You can easily cook more than one type of food or even whole menus, e.g. broccoli and potatoes, on 2 levels.

Rice or cereal products:

Add water or liquid in the specified ratio. For example, 1:1.5 means add 150 ml liquid for every 100 g rice.

The cooking result greatly depends on the quality of the food. Pre-browning and irregularities may already be present in the food before cooking.

Do not use frozen products that are covered with a thick layer of ice. Remove any ice on the food.

Take ready meals out of the packaging.

If you are warming or cooking the ready meal in cookware, make sure that the cookware is heat-resistant.

Distribute foods that are in the form of separate pieces, such as bread rolls and potato products, so that they are spread out flat and evenly on the accessory. Leave a little space between the individual pieces.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.

1. Use your preferred recipe to make the mixture for the crème.

2. Pour the mixture into moulds until the mixture is 2-3 cm deep.

3. Place the moulds into the perforated steaming tray (size XL).

4. Cover food that you would normally cook in a bain marie with film, e.g. cling film.

5. Use the recommended settings when configuring the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven settings.

6. If the moulds are made from very thick material, extend the cooking time.

1. Remove the accessories and shelves from the cooking compartment.

2. Heat 1 litre of whole milk (3.5% fat) to 90 °C on the hob and then leave it to cool down to 40 °C. It is sufficient to heat UHT milk to 40 °C.

3. Mix 150 g of chilled yoghurt into the milk.

4. Pour the mixture into small containers, e.g. cups or small jars.

5. Cover the containers with film, e.g. cling film.

6. Place the containers on the cooking compartment floor.

7. Use the recommended settings when configuring the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven settings.

8. After making the yoghurt, leave it to cool in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.

Use suitable accessories and ensure that you place them into the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven the right way round.

Shelf positions:

• Steaming tray, size M: Shelf position 3

• Steaming tray, size XL: Shelf position 2

• Universal pan: Shelf position 1

Place the food with the longest cooking time into the cooking compartment first. Add the rest of the food at the appropriate time. This means that all the food will be ready at the same time.

Follow the cooking instructions for each of the different foods.

The heat-up time varies depending on the size and weight of the food.

The cooking time is unaffected by the quantity of food.

Use cookware that is steam-resistant.

Cover the soufflé with film, e.g. cling film.

Always insert the universal pan at level 1.

The overall cooking time is extended when cooking whole meals with steam, as a little steam escapes each time the appliance door is opened and the cooking compartment has to be reheated.

Wipe the cooking compartment and dry the condensate drip tray after using it to cook the meal.

For all prime cuts which are to be cooked rare or “à point”. When slow cooking at low temperatures, meat and poultry remain juicy and tender.

When using the low-temperature cooking type of heating, you cannot delay the start of the programme by setting an end time.

Requirement: The cooking compartment is cold.

1. Use fresh, hygienically perfect meat. Pieces without bones and without a lot of connective tissue are most suitable.

2. Place the cookware onto the wire rack at level 1 in the cooking compartment.

3. Preheat the cooking compartment and cookware for approx. 15 minutes.

4. Sear the meat on all sides on the hob at a very high heat.

5. Immediately place the meat into the pre-warmed cookware in the cooking compartment. To ensure that the temperature in the cooking compartment remains constant, keep the cooking compartment door closed during low-temperature cooking.

Place the cold duck breast into a pan.

Sear the skin side first.

Preheat the serving plate.

Make sure that the accompanying sauces are very hot when you serve them.

Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking in a vacuum at low temperatures between 50 and 95 C and in 100% steam. Sous-vide cooking is a gentle method of cooking meat, fish, vegetables and desserts. A chamber vacuum-sealing machine is used to heat-seal the food in a special air-tight, heat-resistant vacuum-sealing bag. The protective envelope of the vacuum-sealing bag retains the nutrients and flavours. The low temperatures and the direct transfer of heat allow precisely controlled cooking in order to achieve the desired cooking results. It is almost impossible to overcook the food.

Servings:

Take into consideration the specified quantities and sizes for the food listed in the recommended settings tables. Adjust the cooking time for larger quantities and items.

The NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven can cook up to 2 kg of food sous-vide.

For vegetables and desserts, the specified quantity is for 4 people.

You can cook on up to 2 levels. When you do this, always slide the universal pan in at level 1 to catch any drops of condensate. Insert the wire racks at the levels above accordingly.

The quality of the cooking result is 100% influenced by the quality of the ingredients you use. Use only fresh, top-quality food. This is the only way to guarantee a consistent cooking result that delivers impeccable flavour.

To ensure an even transfer of heat and an optimised cooking result, use a chamber vacuum-sealing machine that can create a 99% vacuum when vacuum-sealing food.

To prevent gases escaping from the food, e.g. from vegetables, vacuum-seal the food no more than one day before you cook it. The gases inhibit the transfer of heat or cause the texture of the food to change, thus altering how it cooks, as a result of the vacuum pressure.

Do not use a core temperature probe.

1. Season food with half the usual the amount of spices. Cooking in a vacuum means that the flavours cannot escape. The usual quantities of flavourings such as spices, herbs and garlic affect the taste much more and intensify it.

You can intensify the natural flavours of high-quality food simply by adding a small knob of butter and a little salt to the vacuum-sealing bag.

Different ingredients affect how the food cooks:

• Salt and sugar reduce the cooking time.

• Acidic ingredients such as lemon juice or vinegar make food firmer.

• Alcohol and garlic give the food an unpleasant after-taste.

2. To fill the vacuum-sealing bag, fold over the edge of the bag 3-4 cm from the top and place the bag into a receptacle such as a measuring jug. When you fill the vacuum-sealing bag, make sure that there are no traces of food left on the seam area of the vacuum-sealing bag.

3. Before cooking the food, check that the vacuum in the bag is intact. Make sure that:

• There is no air in the vacuum-sealing bag.

• The heat-sealed seam is perfectly sealed.

• There are no holes in the vacuum-sealing bag.

• Pieces of meat or fish that have been vacuum-sealed together are not pressed directly against one another.

4. If the vacuum-sealing bag is not filled as it should be, place the food into a new bag and vacuum-seal it again.

There are germs on the surface of virtually all food.

Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking at low temperatures and, if the instructions for use and hygiene instructions are not adhered to, it may result adverse health effects.

Only use high-quality, perfectly fresh food.

Wash and disinfect your hands.

Use disposable gloves, cooking tongs or grill tongs.

Take extra care when preparing critical food, such as poultry, eggs and fish.

Always thoroughly rinse and peel fruit and vegetables.

Always keep work surfaces and chopping boards clean.

Use different chopping boards for different types of food.

Only interrupt the cold chain briefly to prepare the food.

Store vacuum-sealed food in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours before you start the cooking process.

Once the food is cooked, consume it immediately. Do not store it after cooking – not even in the refrigerator. It is not suitable for reheating.

To kill the germs, dip the vacuum-sealing bag containing the uncooked food into boiling water for no more than 3 seconds.

This minimises the germs on your ingredients and maximises hygiene, so your food is now ready for sous-vide cooking.

Requirements:

The food is vacuum-sealed.

The food is prepared.

1. Place the food onto the wire rack. To ensure that the heat is distributed evenly around the food, do not place the vacuum-sealed food items on top of one another or close together on the wire rack.

2. To catch any drops of condensate, slide the universal pan in at level 1.

3. Do not fill the water tank a second time for the sous-vide cooking.

The recommended settings are based on how long one tankful of water lasts. As a general rule, depending on the set temperature, the following maximum cooking times apply when the water tank is completely full:

4. Hot water collects on the vacuum-sealing bag during cooking. Use an oven cloth to carefully lift the vacuum-sealing bag so that the hot water runs off into the universal pan or the cooking container. Use the oven cloth to carefully remove the vacuum-sealing bag.

Once the food is cooked, allow the cooking compartment to cool and then use a sponge to wipe away the water.

5. Dry the outside of the vacuum-sealing bag and place it in a clean container.

6. Use scissors to open the vacuum-sealing bag. Place all of the food and liquid into the container. You can use the stock or marinade to make a sauce.

7. Prepare the food for serving.

You can sterilise heat-resistant cookware or baby bottles that are in perfect condition. The process is equivalent to normal sterilisation by boiling.

1. Clean the bottles with a bottle brush immediately after use.

2. Wash the bottles in the dishwasher.

3. Place the bottles into the steaming tray (size XL) in such a way that they do not touch one another.

4. Start the “Sterilise” programme.

5. Dry the bottles with a clean cloth.

6. Wipe down the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven interior after sterilising.

You can use your NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven to prepare jam jars or preserving jars and their lids.

You can perform an additional processing step at the end in order to improve the jam’s shelf life.

Sterilise only heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for cooking with steam.

Only use clean jars and lids that are in perfect condition.

Ideally, you should wash the cookware in the dishwasher before sterilising it.

Requirement: The cooking compartment is cold.

1. Slide the wire rack into the cooking compartment.

2. Place the dough onto the wire rack in a bowl. Do not cover the bowl.

3. Use the recommended settings when configuring the NEFF C29FS3A.0 combi steam oven settings. The values are guide values only. The temperature and proving time are dependent on the type and quantity of the ingredients.

4. Do not open the appliance door while the dough is proving, otherwise moisture will escape.

5. Wipe the cooking compartment dry before baking in it.

Gently warm up food with added steam. The food tastes and looks as though it has been freshly cooked. You can even warm and crisp up baked goods from the day before.

Place the cookware on the wire rack.

Place food that you are not reheating in cookware (e.g. bread rolls) directly onto the wire rack at level 1.

Do not cover the food.

Do not open the cooking compartment door while the food is being reheated, otherwise large amounts of steam will escape.

Wipe the cooking compartment and dry the condensate drip tray after using it to reheat food.

Using the “Keep warm” heating function prevents condensation from forming. You will not have to wipe down the cooking compartment.

Do not cover the food.

Do not keep food warming for longer than 2 hours.

Be aware that some types of food will actually continue cooking when you are keeping them warm in the oven.

The different added steam levels are suitable for keeping the following foods warm:

• Level 1: Joints and briefly roasted food

• Level 2: Bakes and side dishes

• Level 3: Stews and soups
