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.
Always preheat an empty
oven at the temperature
required for the food for 20
minutes before you start
cooking.
CAUTION!
The spillages from the food
can blocked the burner
holes, because of this place
the food in centre of the
shelf in the gas oven.
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. Set a longer baking time.
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 temper-
ature.
You cannot decrease bak-
ing times by setting higher
temperatures.
Use less liquid. Be careful
with mixing times, especially
if you use a mixing machine.
The next time you bake, set
a higher oven temperature.
