							11. 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.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 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. 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, connectinghoses 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 yourrecipe.
• When you cook rice, use a ratio of 1.5 : 1 – 2 : 1 water to rice because
rice absorbs water.
