Useful tips

You can also programme the duration (see "Operation - Programming cooking durations). However, do not delay the start too long when baking as the cake mixture or dough will dry out, and the raising agents will lose their effectiveness.

Place cakes being baked in retangular tins with the longer side across the width of the oven for optimum heat distribution and even results.

Eating food which has been cooked correctly is important for good health.

Only bake cakes, pizza, chips etc. until they are golden brown. Do not overcook them.

Even baking and browning is achieved when baking cakes, pastries, frozen foods such as chips, croquettes, pizza, baguettes etc. by

–selecting the lowest temperature given in the recipe/cooking instructions on the packaging.

Do not set a temperature higher than that recommended. Increasing the temperature may reduce the cooking time, but will lead to uneven browning, and unsatisfactory cooking results.

–Check if the food is cooked at the end of the shortest time quoted. To check if a cake is ready, insert a wooden skewer into the centre.

It is ready if the skewer comes out clean, without dough or crumbs sticking to it.

–Place chips, croquettes and similar types of food on baking parchment.
