General instructions
With Convection with ring heating element
you can also bake two cakes at the same time
in tins placed next to each other on the shelf.
This does not significantly increase baking
time.

When frozen foods are used the trays
inserted may distort during cooking.
This is due to the large difference in
temperature between the freezing tem-
perature and the temperature in the
oven. Once the trays have cooled they
will return to their normal shape.
How to use the
baking tables
The tables give the required temperature set-
tings, baking times and oven shelf levels for a
selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and baking times are for guid-
ance only, as these will depend on the con-
sistency of pastry, mixture or dough, the
number and the type of baking tin.
• We recommend setting the lower tempera-
ture when baking for the first time, and if re-
quired, e.g. if a darker browning is desired
or if the baking time is too long, select a
higher temperature.
• If you cannot find the settings for a particu-
lar recipe, look for the one that is most sim-
ilar.
• If baking cakes on baking trays or tins on
more than one level, baking time can be ex-
tended by 10-15 minutes.
• Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit
flans, etc.) are baked on one level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights may
brown at an uneven rate at first. If this oc-
curs, please do not change the temper-
ature setting. Different rates of browning
even out as baking progresses.
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently
to your previous appliance. So adapt your
normal settings (temperature, cooking
times) and oven shelf levels to the recom-
mendations in the following tables.

With longer baking times, you can
switch the oven off about 10 minutes
before the end of the baking time, in or-
der to utilise the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values giv-
en in the tables assume that cooking is
started with the oven cold.
