Baking
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the ap-
pliance you had before. Adapt your usual settings
(temperature, cooking times) and shelf levels to the
values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, the oven can be switched off
about 10 minutes before the end of baking time, to use
the residual heat.
• Use deep roasting pan in middle or top shelf level of
top oven.
• To brown pastry dishes on the bottom, cook on metal
plate or put on a baking tray.
When you use frozen food, the trays in the oven can twist
during baking. When the trays get cold again, the distor-
tion will be gone.

How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to 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.
• Baking time can be extended by 10-15 minutes, if you
bake cakes on more than one level.
• 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.
