HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to "Safety information"
chapter.
INNER SIDE OF DOOR
In some models on the inner side of the
door you can find:
• the numbers of the shelf positions (se-
lected models)
• information about the heating func-
tions, recommended shelf positions
and temperatures for typical dishes (se-
lected models).
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are guidelines
only. They depend on the recipes,
quality and quantity of the ingre-
dients used.
ADVICE FOR SPECIAL
HEATING FUNCTIONS OF THE
OVEN
Keep Warm
Use this function if you want to keep food
warm.
The temperature regulates itself automat-
ically to 80 °C.
Plate Warming
For warming plates and dishes.
Distribute plates and dishes evenly on the
oven shelf. Move stacks around after half
of the warming time (swap top and bot-
tom).
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
level one and put the dish in. Close the
door and set the function dough proving.
Set the necessary time.
BAKING
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differ-
ently to the appliance you had before.
Adapt your usual settings (temperature,
cooking times) and shelf levels to the
values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, the oven can
be switched off about 10 minutes be-
fore the end of baking time, to use the
residual heat.
When you use frozen food, the trays in
the oven can twist during baking. When
the trays get cold again, the distortion
will be gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to use the lower tem-
perature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a spe-
cial recipe, look for the one that is al-
most the same.
• Baking time can be extended by 10-15
minutes, if you bake cakes on more
than one level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally at first. If
this occurs, do not change the temper-
ature setting. The differences equalize
during the baking procedure.
