Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make
sure you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly.
Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the
cake from dropping. In general, if:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

Cooking Advice
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the shelf and place
the grill pan/baking tray beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low shelf positions.
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use setting for "
Pizza Mode":
• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the shelf
supplied with the oven. If the baking tray is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispy crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza
is cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
• If cooking on more than one shelf (up to 2), we advise
you to use the Multi-cooking Mode as the Pizza Mode
would heat the bottom shelf more than the others.
