information about suitable accessories and the height at which

and preparation methods.
Notes
The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the
■
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you
should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof
paper until after they have been preheated.
The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will
■
depend on the quality and composition of the food.
Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be
■
obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or
from the after-sales service.
Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories
and ovenware from the cooking compartment.
Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or
■
ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

Trays put in the oven at the same time are not necessarily
ready at the same time.
In these tables you will find numerous tips for your dishes.
If 3 rectangular cake tins are used at the same time, place on
the wire shelf as shown in the diagram.
Baking tins
It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins
made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not
brown so evenly.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and
recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone
baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of
mixture and recipe instructions may differ.
Tables
The table shows the optimum heating methods for each type of
cake or dessert. The temperature and cooking time will depend
on the amount and the consistency of the dough. For this
reason the cooking tables always provide approximate cooking
times. Always begin by trying the lowest value. The items will be
more evenly browned at a lower temperature. If necessary, this
can be increased next time.
If the oven is preheated, cooking times are reduced by 5 to 10
minutes.
Additional information is provided in the Tips for baking section
as an appendix to the tables.
To bake a cake only on one level, place the mould on the
enamel tray.
When baking several cakes at the same time, the moulds can
be placed together on the wire shelf.
