General Instructions
• Be careful to count oven levels starting from the bottom.
• Insert the baking tray with the bevel at the front!
• Always place cakes in tins in the middle of the grill.
• With Conventional (top/bottom heat) or Fan-assisted cooking, you
can also bake two cakes at the same time in tins placed next to each
other on the grill. This does not significantly increase baking time.

When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cook-
ing. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the
freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays
have cooled the distortion will disappear again.
How to use the Baking Tables
The Tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and
oven shelf levels for a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will
depend on the consistency of pastry or mixture, the number and the
type of baking tin.
• We recommend using the lower temperature the first time and then,
if necessary, for example, if a deeper browning is required, or baking
time is too long, selecting a higher temperature.
• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the
one that is most similar.
• If baking cakes on baking trays or tins on more than one level, baking
time may be extended by 10-15 minutes.
• Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one
level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate
at first. If this occurs, please do not change the temperature set-
ting. Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses.

With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off
about 10 minutes before the end of the baking time, in order to utilise
the residual warmth.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that
cooking starts with a cold oven.
