Baking
General instructions
•Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the ap- pliance 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 before 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 distor- tion will be gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
•We recommend to 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.
•Baking time can be extended by
•Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally at first. If this occurs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences equalize during the baking procedure.
