							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  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.
12.2  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 ProvingYou 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.12.3  Baking
• Your oven can 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.
