baked with the steam assist mode. The baked item
does not dry out as much.

When baking on one level, use the following shelf
position:

oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time
will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
Universal pan: Level 3
■
Baking tray: Level 1
Accessories
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and
that they are placed in the oven the right way around.

rack.
Universal pan or baking tray
Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as

Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for
various dishes. Temperature and cooking time depend
on the quantity and composition of the product. Setting
ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower
values at first. A lower temperature results in more even
browning. You can use a higher setting next time if
necessary.
Cooking times cannot be reduced by using
Note:
higher temperatures. The dish would only be cooked on
the outside, but would not be fully cooked 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
oven, the indicated cooking times will be reduced by
several minutes.
Preheating is necessary for selected dishes, and this is
indicated in the table.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking
compartment. This will achieve the best possible
cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per
cent.
