before. Adapt your usual settings
such as temperature, cooking time
and shelf position to the values in the
tables.
• Use the lower temperature the first
time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a
special recipe, look for the similar
one.
• 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.
• Trays in the oven can twist during
baking. When the trays become cold
again, the distortions disappear.
Possible cause
The shelf position is incor-
rect.
The oven temperature is too
high.
The baking time is too short. Set a longer baking time.
There is too much liquid in
the mixture.
The oven temperature is too
low.

Remedy
Put the cake on a lower

You cannot decrease bak-
ing times by setting higher

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.
