OVEN - HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to "Safety information"
chapter.
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are guidelines
only. They depend on the recipes,
quality and quantity of the ingre-
dients used.
CAUTION!
Use a deep baking tray for very
moist cakes. Fruit juices can cause
permanent stains on the enamel.
TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 3 shelf levels. Use is to cook
smaller quantities of food. It gives espe-
cially good results when used to cook
fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flants or
quiche.
MAIN OVEN
The main oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
BAKING
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differ-
ently to the appliance you had before.
Adapt your 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 be-
fore 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 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.
