HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to "Safety information" chapter.
The temperature and baking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the
recipes, quality and quantity of the ingredients used.
CAUTION!
Use a deep baking tray for very moist cakes. Fruit juices can cause permanent stains on the
enamel.
Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It has 6 shelf levels. Use is to cook smaller
quantities of food. It gives especially good results when used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and
savoury flants or quiche.
Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food.
Baking
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the appliance you had before. Adapt your
usual settings (temperature, cooking times) and shelf levels to the values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, the oven can be switched off about 10 minutes before the end
of baking time, to use the residual heat.
When you use frozen food, the trays in the oven can twist during baking. When the
trays get cold again, the distortion will be gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to use the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the one that is almost the
same.
• Baking time can be extended by 10-15 minutes, if you bake cakes on more than one lev-
el.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally at first. If this oc-
curs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences equalize during the baking
procedure.
