The cake is too light in colour Check the shelf height.
Check whether you have used the bakeware that we have recommended.
Place your tin on the wire rack and not on the baking tray.
If the shelf height and the bakeware are correct, then you should either extend the bak-
ing time or increase the temperature.
The cake is too dark Check the shelf height.
If the shelf height is correct, you should either shorten the baking time or reduce the
temperature.
The cake is unevenly browned in the bak-
ing tin
Check the shelf height.
Check the temperature.
Make sure that your baking tin is not placed directly in front of the air outlets in the rear
wall of the cooking compartment.
Check that the baking tin is in the correct position on the wire rack.
The cake on the baking tray is unevenly
browned
Check the shelf height.
Check the temperature.
If you are baking on several levels, take out the baking trays at different times.
When baking small items, make sure that they are the same size and thickness.
The cake is too dry Set a slightly higher temperature and a slightly shorter baking time.
The cake is too moist in the centre Set a slightly lower temperature.
Note: Higher temperatures do not necessarily mean shorter baking times (cooked on
the outside, but not on the inside). Select a longer baking time and allow the cake mix-
ture to prove for longer. Add less liquid to the mixture.
With very moist cakes, e.g. fruit flans, a lot
of steam is generated in the cooking com-
partment which condenses on the appli-
ance door.
If you briefly and carefully open the appliance door (once or twice, or more often for
longer baking times), you can let the steam out of the cooking compartment and con-
siderably lessen the condensation.
The cake collapses when you take it out of
the oven
Use less liquid for the mixture.
Set a longer baking time or a slightly lower temperature.
The specified baking time is not correct For small items, check the quantity on the baking tray. The items must not be touching
each other.
Frozen products are not browned evenly
after baking
Check whether the frozen product is unevenly browned before baking. This uneven
browning will remain after the baking time.
Frozen products are not browned, not
crispy or the specified time is not correct
Remove ice from frozen products before baking. Do not use frozen products that are
heavily frosted
Saving energy Only preheat the appliance when it is specified in the baking table that you should do
so.
Use dark baking tins as these absorb the heat better.
Make use of the residual heat with longer baking times and switch the oven off
5 ­ 10 minutes before the end of the baking time.
