(Oven operation with the selected mode, or system, depends

Instructions
• When baking pastry, always observe the instructions on the
shelf / guide level, temperature, and cooking time indicated in
the pastry baking table. Do not be prejudiced by experience
you may have with other ovens. The values indicated in the
cooking table are de
fi ned and checked especially for this
particular oven.
• If the baking table does not speci fi cally address a particular
type of pastry, see the information for a similar type of pastry.
Baking pastry with upper and lower heater
• Bake the pastry at one level only.
• Upper / lower heater combination is particularly appropriate for
baking various types of pastry, bread, and meat.
• Use dark-colored baking trays. Light-colored trays re fl ect the
heat, which leads to poorer cooking (browning) results. Always
place the models on the grid. If you are using the supplied
baking tray, remove the grid.
• Preheating will shorten the cooking time. Place the dish
into the oven only when the selected temperature has been
reached, i.e. when the control lamp (heater operation lamp)
goes off for the
fi rst time.
Baking pastry with hot air
Baking pastry with hot air is particularly convenient
when you wish to bake on several shelf / guide levels
simultaneously, especially when preparing bite-size pastry in
shallow trays. Preheating is recommended, and the use of the
second and third guide level. This mode is also appropriate for
moist pastry and fruit cakes (in this case, bake on a single level
only).
• The temperature is normally set lower than when baking
with the upper/lower heater combination (see also the pastry
baking table).
• Various types of pastry can be baked simultaneously, if the
required temperature is at least approximately the same for all.
• Baking time can vary, even for equal baking trays. When
baking in several baking trays simultaneously – on two or even
three levels, baking time for each tray can e different. You may
have to remove one of the trays sooner (normally, this would
