BakingGeneral instructions• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the ap-pliance you had before. Adapt your usual settings(temperature, cooking times) and shelf levels to thevalues in the tables.• With longer baking times, the oven can be switched offabout 10 minutes before the end of baking time, to usethe residual heat.• Use deep roasting pan in middle or top shelf level oftop oven.• To brown pastry dishes on the bottom, cook on metalplate or put on a baking tray.When you use frozen food, the trays in the oven can twistduring baking. When the trays get cold again, the distor-tion will be gone.How to use the Baking Tables• We recommend to use the lower temperature the firsttime.• If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, lookfor the one that is almost the same.• Baking time can be extended by 10-15 minutes, if youbake cakes on more than one level.• Cakes and pastries at different heights do not alwaysbrown equally at first. If this occurs, do not change thetemperature setting. The differences equalize during thebaking procedure.Tips on bakingBaking results Possible cause RemedyThe cake is not brownedsufficiently belowIncorrect oven level Put the cake on a lower oven levelThe cake sinks (becomessoggy, lumpy, streaky)Oven temperature too high Use a lower settingThe cake sinks (becomessoggy, lumpy, streaky)Baking time is too short Set a longer baking timeDo not set higher temperatures to decrease bakingtimesThe cake sinks (becomessoggy, lumpy, streaky)Too much liquid in the mixture Use less liquid.
