Baking
• Your oven can bake or roast differently
to the appliance you had before. Adapt
your usual settings (temperature,
cooking times) and shelf positions to the
values in the tables.
• The manufacturer recommends that you
use the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a
special recipe, look for the one that is
almost the same.
• You can extend baking times 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 at first. If
this occurs, do not change the
temperature setting. The differences
equalize during the baking procedure.
• With longer baking times, you can
deactivate the oven approximately 10
minutes before the end of the baking
time and then use the residual heat.
When you cook frozen food, the trays in the
oven can twist during baking. When the
trays become cold again, the distortions are
gone.
