Oven levels

 

Baking with Conventional

 is possible 

on one oven level.

With Convection with ring heating 
element

 you can bake on up to 3 

baking trays at the same time:

1 baking tray:

e.g. oven level 3
1 cake tin:

e.g. oven level 1
2 baking trays: 

z. g., oven levels 1 and 3
3 baking trays: 

oven levels 1, 3 and 5 

General instructions

Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. 

With Conventional

 or Convection 

with ring heating element

 you can 

also bake with two tins next to one an-
other on the oven shelf at the same time. 

This does not significantly increase bak-
ing time.

When frozen foods are used the trays in-
serted may distort during cooking. This 
is due to the large difference in temper-
ature between the freezing temperature 
and the temperature in the oven. Once 
the trays have cooled the distortion will 
disappear again.

How to use the baking tables

The tables give the required temperature set-
tings, baking times and oven shelf levels for 
a selection of typical dishes.

Temperatures and baking times are for 
guidance only, as these will depend on 
the consistency of pastry, dough or mix-
ture, the amount and the type of baking 
tin.

We recommend using the lower temper-
ature the first time and then if necessary, 
for example, if a deeper browning is re-
quired, or baking time is too long, se-
lecting a higher temperature.

If you cannot find the settings for a par-
ticular recipe, look for the one that is 
most similar.

If baking cakes on baking trays or in tins 
on more than one level, baking time may 
be extended by 10-15 minutes.

Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit 
flans, etc.) are baked on one level.

Cakes and pastries at different heights 
may brown at an uneven rate at first. If 
this occurs, 

please do not change the 

temperature setting

. Different rates of 

browning even out as baking progress-
es.

Your new oven may bake or roast differ-
ently to your previous appliance. So 
adapt your normal settings (tempera-
ture, cooking times) and oven shelf lev-
els to the recommendations in the 
following tables.

2

With longer baking times, the oven can 
be switched off about 10 minutes before 
the end of baking time, to make use of 
the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values giv-
en in the tables assume that cooking is 
started with the oven cold.
