Possible cause and remedy
A metal dish has been used during a cooking
programme using microwave power.
Check if there are sparks caused by using metal
dishes (see "Suitable containers for microwave
use").
Check if the food is covered with aluminium foil.
If it is, remove the foil.
Check if the rack is inside the oven.
Always use the glass tray when using the oven
with microwave power.
The oven will switch itself off automatically to save
energy if no other action is taken within a certain time
frame after switching it on or after the end of a
cooking programme.
Switch the oven back on.
A different temperature from the one given in the
recipe was used.
Select the temperature required for the recipe.
The ingredient quantities are different from those
given in the recipe.
Check whether there has been a change to the
recipe. The addition of more liquid or more eggs
makes a moister mix which would take longer to
cook.
The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected.
There will always be a slight unevenness. If the
unevenness is pronounced, check whether the
correct temperature and shelf level have been
selected.
The material or colour of the baking tin was not suited
to the oven function. Bright, shiny tins are not very
suitable. Try using a different tin next time. These
reflect heat, which means that the heat does not
penetrate to the food effectively, resulting in uneven
or poor browning.
Dark, matt tins are best for baking.
