12.  HINTS AND TIPSWARNING!
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.12.1  Advice for special heating
functions of the ovenKeep 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.12.2  Baking
• Your oven may bake or roast
differently to the appliance you had
before. Adapt your usual settings
(temperature, cooking times) and
shelf positions to the values in the
tables.
• The manufacturer recommends that you use the lower temperature the
first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the one that is
almost the same.
• You can extend baking times by 10 – 15 minutes if you bake cakes on morethan one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equallyat first. If this occurs, do not change
the temperature setting. The
differences equalize during the
baking procedure.
• With longer baking times, you can deactivate the oven approximately 10
minutes before the end of the baking time and then use the residual heat.
When you cook frozen food, the trays in the oven can twist during baking. Whenthe trays become cold again, the
distortions are gone.

2)  Use a deep pan.12.9  Roasting
• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast (refer to the instructions of the
manufacturer).
• You can roast large roasting joints directly in the deep pan (if present) or
on the wire shelf above the deep pan.
• Roast lean meats in the roasting tin with the lid. This keeps the meat more
succulent.
• All types of meat that can be browned or have crackling can be roasted inthe roasting tin without the lid.
• We recommend that you cook meat and fish weighing 1 kg and above inthe appliance.• To prevent the meat juices or fat from
burning onto the pan, put some liquid
into the deep pan.
• If necessary, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).
• Baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during
roasting. This gives better roasting
results.
• You can deactivate the appliance approximately 10 minutes before theend of the roasting time, and use the
residual heat.12.10  Roasting tables
