10.1 Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 3 shelf positions. Use it to
cook smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results when used to
cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury
flants or quiche.
10.2 Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
10.3 Baking
• Your oven can 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.
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.
Remedy
Put the cake on a lower
shelf.
The next time you bake,
set a slightly lower oven
temperature.
Set a longer baking time.
You cannot decrease
baking times by setting
higher temperatures.
Use less liquid. Be careful
with mixing times, espe‐
cially if you use a mixing
machine.
The next time you bake,
set a higher oven tempera‐
ture.
The next time you bake,
set a shorter baking time.
Set a lower oven tempera‐
ture and a longer baking
time.
