Abstract

In a method to dehumidify a cooking chamber of a domestic cooking appliance, a condensation formation in the cooking chamber is ascertained. A dehumidification message connected to a dehumidification process is displayed when the condensation formation is detected, and a user action is awaited when the message is displayed. The dehumidification process is either performed or terminated depending on the user action. A domestic cooking appliance includes a cooking chamber and a display device and is configured to ascertain a condensation formation in the cooking chamber and to start a dehumidification process when the condensation formation is ascertained. The domestic cooking appliance is additionally configured to display a drying message connected to a dehumidification process on the display device prior to starting the dehumidification process, to await a user action when the dehumidification message is displayed, and either to perform or terminate the dehumidification process depending on the user action.
