10. OVEN - HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
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 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 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.
Remedy
Put the cake on a lower
shelf.
The next time you bake, set
a slightly lower oven tem-
perature.
Set a longer baking time.
You cannot decrease
baking times by setting
higher temperatures.
Use less liquid. Be careful
with mixing times, especially
if you use a mixing ma-
chine.
The next time you bake, set
a higher oven temperature.
