Baking pastry

Most appropriate position for baking is
the application of both upper and lower
heater, or the hot air.
Note! Grease filter must always be
removed!
Warnings
When baking pastry, strictly follow the
instructions regarding the selection of
guide level, temperature and baking time,
and do not rely on any previous
experience, because information
indicated in the baking tables have been
determined and tested specially for this
particular type of oven.
In case you may not find any particular
type of cake in the tables, use the
information available for the next most
similar type of cake.
Baking with upper and lower
heater
Use only a single guide level.
This baking position is especially suitable
for baking dry pastry, bread and
teacakes.Use dark baking pans. Light
pans reflect heat and pastry is not
adequately browned.
Always place baking pans on the grid
rack. Remove the grid only if baking in
the flat biscuit tray, supplied with the
appliance.
Preheating shortens the baking time. Do
not put the cake in the oven until proper
temperature is obtained, and until the red
signal lamp goes off for the first time.
Baking with hot air
This mode of baking is especially suitable
for baking at multiple levels, for moist
pastry and fruit cakes.
You may use light models.
The temperature is usually lower than
baking with upper/lower heater (see
Baking Table).
Moist pastry (i.e. fruit cake) may be
baked at maximum two levels at the
Instructions for use, installation and connection
same time, because of excessive
humidity.
Different cakes may be baked together if
the necessary temperature is
approximately the same.
Baking time may be different for different
pastry, so you may have to take one pan
out before the others.
Cookies, like for example muffins, should
be of equal size and thickness. Uneven
cookies are baked unevenly.
If you bake more than one cake at the
same time, it may produce excessive
steaming in the oven and condensation
at the oven door.

Baking tips

Is pastry baked?
Pierce the cake with a wooden peg at the
thickest part. If the dough does not stick
to it, the cake is baked. You may switch
off the oven and use the remaining heat.
Pastry has fallen
Check the recipe. Use less fluids next
time. Follow the mixing times, especially
when using powered kitchen mixers.
Pastry is too light below
Use dark baking pan next time, or place
the pan one level lower, or switch on the
lower heater a while before the
completion.
Cheese cake is undercooked
Next time reduce the baking temperature
and extend the baking time.
Warnings regarding the baking
tables:
The tables indicate the temperature
range. Always select lower temperature
first. You may always increase the
temperature in case pastry needs more
baking.
Baking times are indicative only. They
may vary in dependence of individual
characteristics.
The asterix indicates that the oven
requires preheating.
