8.2 Baking
General instructions
• Your new appliance may bake or roast
differently to the appliance you had be-
fore. Adapt your usual settings (temper-
ature, cooking times) and shelf posi-
tions to the values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, the appliance
can be switched off about 10 minutes
before the end of baking time, to use
the residual heat.

butter, chocolate, gelatine

When you use frozen food, the trays
in the appliance can twist during bak-
ing. When the trays get cold again,
the distortion will be gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to use the lower tem-
perature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a spe-
cial recipe, look for the one that is al-
most 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 temper-
ature setting. The differences equalize
during the baking procedure.
