BAKING
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differ-
ently to the appliance you had before.
Adapt your usual settings (temperature,
cooking times) and shelf positions 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 residu-
al heat.
When you use frozen food, the trays in
the oven can twist during baking. When

How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to use the lower temper-
ature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a spe-
cial 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 tempera-
ture setting. The differences equalize dur-
ing the baking procedure.
