– if you touch a sensor field during
the night brightness (apart from

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. It is not necessary to
cover it. 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 Cooking with steam
• Use only heat and corrosion resistant
cookware or chrome steel food
containers (for some models only).
• The correct shelf positions are in the
table below. Count the shelf positions
from the bottom to the top.
• When you cook longer than 30
minutes or when you cook large
quantities of food, add water if it is
necessary.
• Put the food into the correct cooking
containers and put the containers on
the shelves. Make sure that there is
some distance between the shelves to
let the steam circulate around each
container.
• After each use, remove the water
from the water drawer, connecting
hoses and steam generator. Refer to
the chapter "Care and cleaning".
• The tables give data for typical dishes.
• Start the procedure with a cold
appliance unless the data in the
tables is different.
• Use a recipe that is almost the same if
you cannot find the settings for your
recipe.
• When you cook rice, use a ratio of
1.5 : 1 – 2 : 1 water to rice because
rice absorbs water.
