General tips
• Be sure to count the shelf positions from bottom to top.
• Insert the baking tray so that the slope is at the front.
• Always place cake tins in the middle of the shelf.
• When using the fan oven ¥ function you are also able to bake two tins
side by side on a rack simultaneously. This increases the baking time only
slightly.
3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking.
This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing tem-
perature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the
distortion will disappear again.
Notes about the baking table
In the charts you will find the temperature indications, cooking times and
shelf levels required for a selection of dishes.
• The temperatures and baking times are to be used as a guide only, as they
depend on the composition of the dough, the amount, and the type of
cake tin.
• We recommend setting the oven to the lower temperature the first time
and to select a higher temperature only if required, e.g. if additional
browning is desired or if the baking time is too long.
• Should you be unable to find any exact indications for one of your own
recipes, use those given for a similar item as a guide.
• When baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one shelf level
the baking time may need to be lengthened by 10-15 minutes.
• Moist items (e.g. pizzas, cakes with fruit toppings etc.) should be cooked
on one level only.
• Differences in height between the items baked may mean that at the be-
ginning of the baking period they are browned to different degrees. In
such case please do not change the temperature set. Differences in the
degree of browning will even out during the course of the baking period.
2 Where the baking time required is relatively long, you can switch off the
oven approx. 10 minutes prior to the end of the baking period thereby mak-
ing use of the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the charts are applicable for use when placing
items into a cold oven.
