10.2 Cooking recommendations
The temperature and cooking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes and the quality
and quantity of the ingredients used.
Your oven may bake or roast differently to the oven you had before. The tables below show recommended set‐
tings for temperature, cooking time and shelf position for specific types of the food.
If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.
10.3 Baking
For the first baking, use the lower
temperature.
You can extend the baking time by 10 – 15
minutes if you bake cakes on more than one
shelf position.
Cakes and pastries at different heights do not
always brown equally. There is no need to
change the temperature setting if an unequal
browning occurs. The differences equalize
during baking.
Trays in the oven can distort during baking.
When the trays are cold again, the distortions
disappear.
