Notes on the cooking charts

You can find the cooking charts at the
end of this book.
Selecting the  temperature
 As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart.
Baking at temperatures higher than
those recommended may reduce the
cooking duration, but will lead to
uneven browning of the food, and
unsatisfactory cooking results.
If you are using M Chef functions, the
food is cooked from the inside by
electro-magnetic waves and at the
same time browned on the outside by
the heating elements. Cooking
durations are shorter this way than
with conventional functions. The set
temperature is higher in order to
achieve the level of browning required
in the shorter time.
Selecting the cooking duration 
Unless otherwise stated, the cooking
durations given in the cooking charts
are for an oven compartment which has
not been pre-heated. With a pre-heated
oven compartment, shorten durations
by around 10 minutes.
 As a general rule, check whether the
food is cooked after the shortest
duration. Stick a wooden skewer into
the food.
If it comes out clean without any batter/
dough on it, the food is done.

Notes on the oven functions

You can find an overview of all the
functions with their recommended
values in "Main and sub-menus".
Using Automatic programmes 
 Follow the instructions in the display.
Use the Dialog oven cookbook for
guidance.
Using M Chef + Fan Plus 
Use this function for baking cakes and
bread.
 Place the food on shelf level 2.
Using Fan Plus 
Because the fan distributes the heat
around the oven compartment straight
away, you can use a lower temperature
than you would with the
Heat  function.
Use this function for baking biscuits
and cookies.
Use this function if you are baking on
multiple shelf levels at the same time.
 1 shelf level: place flat items (e.g.
biscuits) on shelf level 1.
 1 shelf level: place tray cakes and
cakes in baking tins on shelf level 2.
 2 shelves: Place the food on shelf
levels 2+3.
Useful tips
- If you are cooking on multiple shelf
levels at the same time, slide the
universal tray in on the lowest level.
- For moist biscuits and cakes, bake on
a maximum of 2 shelf levels at once.
