CAUTION! The spillages from the
food can blocked the burner holes,
because of this place the food in
centre of the shelf in the gas oven.
TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It has
3 shelf positions. Use it 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
•
Your oven may bake or roast differently to the
appliance you had before. Adapt your usual
settings (temperature, cooking times) and shelf
positions to the values in the tables.

The manufacturer recommends that you 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.
•
You can extend baking times by 10 – 15
minutes if you bake cakes on more than one
shelf position.
•
Cakes and pastries at different heights do not
always brown equally at first. If this occurs, do
not change the temperature setting. The
differences equalize during the baking
procedure.
•
With longer baking times, you can deactivate
the oven approximately 10 minutes before the
end of the baking time and then use the residual
heat.
When you cook frozen food, the trays in the oven
can twist during baking. When the trays become
cold again, the distortions are gone.
Possible cause
The shelf position is incorrect.
The oven temperature is too
high.
The baking time is too short.
There is too much liquid in the
mixture.
The oven temperature is too
low.
The baking time is too long.
The oven temperature is too
high and the baking time is too
short.
The mixture is unevenly distrib-
uted.
Remedy
Put the cake on a lower shelf.
The next time you bake, set a
slightly lower oven tempera-
ture.
Set a longer baking time. You
cannot decrease baking
times by setting higher
temperatures.
Use less liquid. Be careful with
mixing times, especially if you
use a mixing machine.
The next time you bake, set a
higher oven temperature.
The next time you bake, set a
shorter baking time.
Set a lower oven temperature
and a longer baking time.
Spread the mixture evenly on
the baking tray.
