heating and temperature are best suited to your dish.
You will get information on suitable cooking
accessories and the height at which they should be
placed in the oven. You will also get tips about
cookware and preparation methods.
A lot of steam can build up in the cooking

compartment when cooking food.
Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very
little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to
the high difference in temperature between the
appliance interior and the external parts of the
appliance, condensation may build up on the door,
control panel or adjacent kitchen cabinet panels. This is
a normal physical phenomenon. Condensation can be
reduced by preheating the oven or opening the door
carefully.

Silicone moulds

For the best cooking results, we recommend dark-
coloured metal baking tins/dishes.
Nevertheless, if you wish to use silicone moulds, follow
the manufacturer's instructions and recipes. Silicone
moulds are often smaller than normal baking tins.
Quantity and recipe specifications may vary.

Cakes and small baked items

Your appliance offers you a range of heating types for
the preparation of cakes and small baked items. You
can find the ideal settings for many dishes in the
settings tables.
Also refer to the notes in the section on allowing dough
to rise.
Only use original accessories supplied with your
appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking
compartment and the operating modes of your
appliance.
Shelf positions
Use the indicated shelf positions.
Baking on one level
When baking on one level, use the following shelf
positions:
Tall baked items: Level 2
■
Flat baked items: Level 3
■
Baking on several levels
Use 4D hot air. Baked items that are placed into the
oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time
will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Baking on two levels:
Universal pan: Level 3
■
Baking tray: Level 1
26
Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack
■
First wire rack: Level 3
Second wire rack: Level 1
Baking on three levels:
Baking tray: Level 5
■
Universal pan: Level 3
Baking tray: Level 1
Baking on four levels:
4 wire racks with greaseproof paper
■
First wire rack: Level 5
Second wire rack: Level 3
Third wire rack: Level 2
Fourth wire rack: Level 1
By preparing several dishes at the same time, you can
make energy savings of up to 45 per cent. Position
baking tins/dishes next to one another or offset and
vertically stacked in the cooking compartment.
Accessories
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and
that they are placed in the oven the right way around.
Wire rack
Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the
appliance door and the outer rail pointing downwards .
Universal pan or baking tray
Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as
far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the
appliance door.
When baking moist cakes, use the universal pan so that
any excess liquid does not overflow and make the
cooking compartment dirty.
Baking tins
Dark- coloured metal baking tins are most suitable.
Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes and glass dishes
extend baking time and mean that the baked item will
not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using these
baking tins/dishes and using top/bottom heating, slide
in the tin/dish at level 1.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the
selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to
size.
Recommended setting values
You can find the ideal heating type for various cakes
and small baked items in the table. The temperature
and baking time are dependent on the quantity and
composition of the dough. Different settings ranges are
indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at
first. A lower temperature results in more even
browning. If necessary, use a higher setting the next
time.
Baking times can not be reduced by using higher
Note:
temperatures. Cakes or small baked items would only
be cooked on the outside, and would not be fully baked
in the middle.
The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold
cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make
energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the
