General information
•Please note that the shelf positions are counted from bottom to top.
•Always place cakes in cake tins in the middle of the shelf.
•With fan cooking you can also bake with two tins at the same time
by placing them side by side on the shelf. There is no significant in-
crease in baking time.
3When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cook-
ing. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the
freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays
have cooled the distortion will disappear again.
Notes on the Baking Tables
In the tables you will find information on temperatures, cooking times
and shelf positions for a selection of recipes.
•Ranges are given for the temperature and cooking time since these
are dependent on the mixture, quantity and cake tin used.
•When baking several cakes on baking sheets or in cake tins, the cook-
ing time can be 10-15 minutes longer.
•Moist items (e. g. pizzas & baking, fruit cakes, etc.) should be cooked
on a maximum of two levels.
•When using for the first time, we recommend setting the lower tem-
perature. If increased browning is required or the cooking time is too
long, select a higher temperature.
•If you cannot find any specific information for one of your own reci-
pes, use information on a similar recipe for guidance.
•Variations in the height of the item to be baked can lead t o different
degrees of browning at the start of baking. In this case, please do
not change the temperature setting. Variations in the amount of
browning will even themselves out during baking.
2Switch off the oven 10-15 minutes before the end of the cooking time
to make use of the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated the information in the tables applies to a cold
oven.
