Leaving scraps of food, splattered oil, and the like in the oven cavity may cause it to smoke during cooking. Always clean the over after cooking. The components of the white matter are what remain when the minerals contained in tap water (calcium and magnesium) evaporate. The minerals are not harmful. Wipe them off using a well-wrung wet dishcloth. After cooking is complete or when is pushed, there are cases where the fan may run for about 10 minutes in order to cool down electrical components, but this is not a malfunction. When cooling completes, the fan stops automatically. There are times when there is odor on the super grill tray unit. The heating element that is welded onto the surface of the super grill tray unit may sometimes give off an odor, but this does not affect cooking. The odor subsides with use. During heating, the display area and door become cloudy, and drops of water fall. Depending on the menu option, the moisture from the food becomes water vapor, and the display area and the inside of the door may become cloudy. When dew forms on the inside of the door and drops of water fall to the floor, wipe them up with a dishcloth. There are drops of water on the inside of the oven cavity. Due to steam cooking and depending on the menu option, the water vapor that is emitted from the food adheres to the inside of the oven cavity as drops of water.

Press during Oven preheating in order to light the oven lamp for five seconds. There are times when the brightness of the oven lamp changes. During intermittent operation, the brightness of the oven lamp may change. This is not a malfunction. There are times when the convection heater glows, and times when it does not glow. To make the temperature in the oven cavity constant, the power distribution of the convection heater is intermittent. Settings Sometimes it is not possible to set the temperature to 300°C. When the oven cavity is hot or preheat No, the maximum temperature that can be set is 250°C. There are times when the set temperature changes. During Oven heating (preheat Yes ), the operation time at 300°C is about five minutes. Afterwards, the temperature automatically switches to 250°C. Display of the oven cavity temperature during preheating increases or decreases by 10°C—20°C. In addition, there is also an intermittent sound. The temperature display changes until the oven cavity temperature stabilizes. This is not a malfunction. Because the convection heater runs intermittently during preheating, you may hear intermittent sounds, but this is not a malfunction. Preheating ended before the specified preheat temperature was displayed. Preheating may end before the set temperature is displayed, due to the impact of the room temperature, power supply voltage, and so on. In addition, when 45 minutes pass after preheating has started, preheating stops. When preheating stops and the oven is left as-is, preheating continues for 10 more minutes and then the oven heats for the specified amount of time.

The semi-transparent type designed for microwave cooking is ideal, but clear plastic is also acceptable. Make sure the bag is tightly sealed and has no holes before using. 150 g flour (bread flour) A 1 tbsp sugar (9 g) 1 3 tsp salt (2 g) 1 tsp dry yeast powder (quick-rise type) (2.5 g) 90–100 ml water 1 tbsp butter (12 g) Full ●Adjust the leavening time as needed The dough will rise at different speeds depending on the season, ambient temperature, and temperature of the ceramic tray. Leave 8–12 minutes for the first rise, and adjust the second rise as needed. Second rise For denser dough For fluffier dough 12–20 min 6–8 min ●Do not let the dough dry out When splitting or shaping the dough, keep it covered with a moist cloth or store in a plastic bag to prevent drying. ●Shaping (rounding) the dough Place the dough smooth-side up. Round it by tucking the cut edges into the center underneath. Use your fingers to pinch the underside of the ball closed. ●Knead thoroughly Kneading the dough thoroughly prevents the flour from clumping and causes the dough to stretch out and become sticky. Continue kneading until the dough sticks together in a single clump and separates from the sides of the plastic bag. ●Proper leavening Factors like ambient temperature and the type of yeast can cause the dough to rise differently. The dough should take on a netlike appearance after the first rise and grow between 120 and 150% in size. First rise The dough should grow about another 150% in size during the second rise. ●For glazed rolls Before baking, coat the surface of the dough with a thin layer of beaten egg mixed with a pinch of salt. Second rise ●If the rolls are underdone Use the following functions to continue cooking the rolls, checking often: Oven , Preheat No , 1 Level , 180°C . 9 Roll each section of dough into a ball. Cover the ceramic tray with a cooking sheet and place them in the center (see photo). 10 Start the second rise by pressing Steam Microwave Leaven .

Right before preheating is complete, use a knife or razor blade to make a single lengthwise cut in the surface of the coupé. Make three to four cuts in the bâtard. • When cutting the coupé, hold the razor blade or knife at 45 degrees to make an angled cut in the dough. 16 Once the beep sounds indicating that preheating is complete, insert the metal tray in the mid rack to bake. 17 Once baking is finished, let the bread cool at room temperature before serving. Heat Using Steam Oven Leavening Hints for baking bread ●Allow the milk to reach room temperature Bread will not rise properly when using chilled milk straight from the refrigerator. ●Temperature for rising dough The ideal temperature for rising dough is 25– 27°C. If the room is warmer (in summertime, for example), the dough will not rise as fully. ●Adjust the leavening time as needed The dough will rise at different speeds depending on several factors, including the type of yeast, the season, and the ambient temperature. Make sure to cover the rising dough with a moist cloth to prevent it from drying out. If the dough does not rise fully, add extra time to leaven, checking the dough often. ●Do not let the dough dry out during resting and rising If the dough dries out, it will not rise properly. Keep it humid by misting the area around it with water or by placing it inside a large plastic bag. ●Handle the dough with care Handle the dough gently. Dough that is torn or reworked to correct its shape will become damaged and not expand properly. ●Apply the glaze carefully and sparingly Lightly glaze the surface of the dough using the palms of your hands. Too much glaze will run onto the metal tray and cause the bottom of the bread to burn. ●Over-risen dough Over-risen dough will not expand properly when baking. It can be used to make pizza or fried bread instead. ●Adjust the leavening temperature as needed The leavening temperature can be set to 30, 35, 40, or 45°C.
