Notes about the charts
Temperature, baking duration
To achieve even results without
over-browning the food,
–
always select the lowest
temperature given in the chart.
Do not set a temperature higher than
that recommended. Increasing the
temperature may reduce the cooking
time, but will lead to uneven
browning, and unsatisfactory
cooking results.
– Check if the food is cooked at the
end of the shortest time quoted.
To check if a cake is ready, insert a
wooden skewer into the centre.
It is ready if the skewer comes out
clean, without dough or crumbs
sticking to it.
Shelf level
The shelf levels are counted from the
bottom of the oven upwards (1 =
lowest, 5 = highest).
Number
of trays
Shelf level
U 12
2 1 and 3
3 1,3and5*
O 1 1 or 2
V 1 1 or 2
* When baking moist cakes, bread etc
do not use more than two baking tins
at the same time.
Frozen food
When baking frozen products such as
cakes, pizza and baguettes, use the
lowest temperature quoted on the
manufacturer's packaging. Bake on a
layer of baking parchment placed on
the rack. Cooking large frozen items on
the baking tray or the universal tray can
cause the metal to distort. This
distortion would increase with
subsequent use.
Small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes can
be cooked on the universal tray. Place
them on baking parchment and select
the lowest temperature quoted on the
manufacturer's packaging. Turn several
times during cooking.
