Tips and tricks for baking
Note:
Do not use shelf height 2 when baking with
3
CircoTherm®. The air circulation is impaired and this will have
a negative effect on your baking.
We recommend that you use dark baking tins made from metal.
Tinplate and glass dishes increase the baking time required
and the cake will not brown evenly.
If you wish to bake using tinplate tins and
%
Top/bottom heat,
you should use shelf height 1.
Always slide the universal pan in carefully as far as it will go
and make sure that the sloping edge is facing the appliance
door.
Slide the flat wire racks in so that the rear upstand is at the rear.
The baking tins therefore cannot slide off the back of the shelf.
Baking on one level
If you are baking on one level with
3
CircoTherm®, always
place a round tin in the centre of the stepped wire rack
(Figure A) and always place a loaf tin diagonally (Figure B).
If you are baking on one level with
3
CircoTherm, always
place two round baking tins diagonally from each other on the
stepped wire rack (Figure C).
Baking on two or more levels
When baking on several levels, only use the
3
CircoTherm
or
ë
Bread-baking operating modes.
Bear in mind that your items may brown at different rates on
each level. The items on the top level will brown more quickly
and can be taken out earlier.
Two baking tins on two levels
When baking with two round baking tins or two baking trays,
slide the stepped wire rack in at shelf position 1 and the
straight wire rack in at shelf position 3.
Place the lower baking tin to the left (Figure A) and the upper
baking tin to the right (Figure B) on their respective wire racks.
Four baking tins on two levels
When baking with four round baking tins, slide the stepped wire
rack in at shelf position 1 and the straight wire rack in at shelf
position 3.
Place the lower baking tins diagonally from each other as
shown in Figure C and the upper baking tins diagonally from
each other as shown in Figure D on their respective wire racks.
Baking table
The details given in the table are guidelines and apply to dark
baking tins. The values may vary depending on the type and
amount of the dough/mixture and on the baking tin.
We recommend that you set the lower of the specified
temperatures the first time. Lower temperatures will generally
allow more even browning.
If you are baking according to your own recipe, use similar
recipes in the table as a guide.
Observe the notes in the table about preheating.
