How to use the Baking Tables
• The manufacturer recommends that
you 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.
• You can extend baking times 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 tem-
perature setting. The differences
equalize during the baking procedure.

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.
