11. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are
guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and
the quality and quantity of
the ingredients used.
11.1 Inner side of the door
In some models, on the inner side of
the door you can find:
• the numbers of the shelf positions.
• information about the heating
functions, recommended shelf
positions and temperatures for typical
dishes.
11.2 Advice for special heating
functions of the oven
Keep Warm
Use this function if you want to keep
food warm.
The temperature regulates itself
automatically to 80 °C.
Plate Warming
For warming plates and dishes.
Distribute plates and dishes evenly on
the wire shelf. Move stacks around after
half of the warming time (swap top and
bottom).
The automatic temperature is 70 °C.
Recommended shelf position: 3.
Dough Proving
You can use this automatic function with
any recipe for yeast dough you like. It
gives you a good atmosphere for rising.
Put the dough into a dish that is big
enough for rising and cover it with a wet
towel or plastic foil. Insert a wire shelf on
the first shelf position and put the dish in.
Close the door and set the function:
Dough Proving. Set the necessary time.
11.3 Baking
• Your oven may bake or roast
differently to the appliance you had
before. Adapt your usual settings
such as temperature, cooking time
ENGLISH 19

and shelf position to the values in the
tables.
• Use the lower temperature the first
time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a
special recipe, look for the similar
one.
• You can extend baking times by 10 –
15 minutes if you bake cakes on more
than one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different
heights do not always brown equally
at first. If this occurs, do not change
the temperature setting. The
differences equalize during the
baking procedure.
• Trays in the oven can twist during
baking. When the trays become cold
again, the distortions disappear.
