Baking
Handling food carefully will help
protect your health.
Cakes, pizzas and chips should be
cooked until golden, not dark brown.
Tips on baking
– Set a cooking duration. When baking,
the oven should not be set to start a
long time off. Otherwise the cake
mixture or dough will dry out, and the
raising agents will lose their
effectiveness.
– Generally, you can use the rack,
baking tray, universal tray and any
type of baking tray made of heat-
resistant material.
– Avoid using bright, thin-walled tins as
they give an uneven or poor browning
result. In certain unfavourable
conditions, the food will not cook
properly.
– Place cakes in rectangular tins on the
rack with the longer side across the
width of the oven for optimum heat
distribution and even results.
– Always place bakeware on the rack.
– Bake cakes with fruit toppings or
deep cakes on the universal tray.

Using baking paper
Miele accessories, e.g. the universal
tray, are treated with PerfectClean
enamel (see "Features"). Surfaces
treated with PerfectClean enamel
generally do not need to be greased or
covered with baking paper.
Use baking paper when baking lye
pastries (e.g. pretzels) because the
sodium hydroxide can damage the
PerfectClean treated surface.
Use baking paper when baking
sponge, meringue, macaroons or
similar items. These are more likely to
stick due to their high egg white
content.
Use baking paper when cooking
frozen food on the rack.
