The temperature and baking
times in the tables are
guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and
the quality and quantity of
the ingredients used.
10.1 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 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.
The baking time is too long.
The oven temperature is too
high and the baking time is
too short.
The mixture is unevenly dis-
tributed.
Remedy
Put the cake on a lower
shelf.
The next time you bake, set
a slightly lower oven temper-
ature.
You cannot decrease bak-
ing 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 tempera-
ture and a longer baking
time.
Spread the mixture evenly
on the baking tray.
