HINTS AND TIPS
Refer to Safety chapters.
DOUBLE OVEN
Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It has
4 shelf positions. Use it to cook smaller quantities
of food. It gives especially good results when used
to cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flans or
quiche.
Main oven
The main oven is the bigger of the two ovens. It is
particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of
food.

not baked sufficiently.
The cake sinks and be-
comes soggy or streaky.

BAKING
For the first baking, use the lower temperature.
You can extend the baking time 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. There is no need to change
the temperature setting if an unequal browning
occurs. The differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can distort during baking. When
the trays are cold again, the distortions disappear.
Possible cause
The shelf position is incorrect.
The oven temperature is too
high.
The oven temperature is too
high and the baking time is
too short.
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 cake batter is not evenly
distributed.
The oven temperature is too
low.
Temperature (°C)
170 - 190
Remedy
Put the cake on a lower shelf.
Next time set slightly lower oven
temperature.
Next time set a longer baking time
and lower oven temperature.
Next time set higher oven tempera-
ture.
Next time set shorter baking time.
Next time set a longer baking time
and lower oven temperature.
Next time spread the cake batter
evenly on the baking tray.
Next time set a slightly higher oven
temperature.
