11.11 Baking on one oven
level
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast dif-
ferently to the appliance you had be-
fore. Adapt your usual settings (tem-
perature, cooking times) and shelf lev-
els 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 resid-
ual heat.
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 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 tempera-
ture setting. The differences equalize
during the baking procedure.
