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

							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 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.
Defrost
Remove the food packaging and put the food on a plate. Do not cover the food
with a bowl or a plate, as this can extend
the defrost time. Use the first shelf
position from the bottom.11.3  Full SteamWARNING!

the appliance door when the

use those with cooking times which are
almost the same. Fill the water drawer to
the maximum level. Put the dishes into
the correct cookware and then on the
wire shelves. Adjust the distance
between the cookware to let the steam
circulate.
Sterilisation
• With this function you can sterilise containers (e.g. baby bottles).
• Put the clean containers in the middle of the shelf on the first shelf position.
Make sure that the opening is down
at a small angle.
• Fill the drawer with the maximum quantity of water and set the time to40 min.
