Notes on the cooking charts
You can find the cooking charts at the
end of this book.
Selecting the
temperature
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart.
Baking at temperatures higher than
those recommended may reduce the
cooking duration, but will lead to
uneven browning of the food, and
unsatisfactory cooking results.
Selecting the
cooking duration
Unless otherwise stated, the cooking
durations given in the cooking charts
are for an oven compartment which has
not been pre-heated. With a pre-heated
oven compartment, shorten times by
around 10 minutes.
As a general rule, check the food
after the shortest duration. Stick a
wooden skewer into the food.
If it comes out clean without any batter/
dough on it, the food is done.
Notes on the functions
You can find an overview of all the
functions with their recommended
values in “Main and sub-menus”.
Using Automatic programmes
Follow the instructions in the display.
Using Fan plus
Because the fan distributes the heat
around the oven compartment straight
away, it allows you to use a lower
temperature than you would with the
Conventional heat
function.
Use this function if you are baking on
multiple shelves at the same time.
1 shelf: place the food in shelf level 2.
2 shelves: place the food on shelf
levels 1+3 or 2+4.
3 shelves: place the food on shelf
levels 1+3+5.
Tips
– If you are cooking on multiple shelves
at the same time, slide the universal
tray in on the lowest level.
– For moist biscuits and cakes, bake on
a maximum of 2 shelf levels at once.
