The temperature and baking times in
the tables are guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and the
quality and quantity of the
ingredients used.
Always preheat an empty oven at the
temperature required for the food for
20 minutes before you start cooking.
Baking
• Your oven may bake or roast differently to
the appliance you had before. Adapt your
usual settings such as temperature, cooking
time and shelf position to the values in the
tables.
• Use the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special
recipe, look for the similar one.
• 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.
• Trays in the oven can twist during baking.
When the trays become cold again, the
distortions disappear.
