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 distortion 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 mi-
nutes, 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 proce-
dure.

Use a lower setting
Set a longer baking time
Do not set higher temperatures to de-
crease baking times
Use less liquid. Look at the mixing times, spe-
cially when you use mixing machines
Set a higher oven temperature
