OVEN - HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to "Safety information"
chapter.
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are guidelines
only. They depend on the recipes,
quality and quantity of the ingre-
dients used.
CAUTION!
Use a deep baking tray for very
moist cakes. Fruit juices can cause
permanent stains on the enamel.
BAKING
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differ-
ently to the appliance you had before.
Adapt your usual settings (temperature,
cooking times) and shelf levels to the
values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, the oven can
be switched off about 10 minutes be-
fore the end of baking time, to use the
residual heat.
When you use frozen food, the trays in
the oven can twist during baking. When
the trays get cold again, the distortion
will be gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to use the lower tem-
perature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a spe-
cial recipe, look for the one that is al-
most the same.
• Baking time can be extended by 10-15
minutes, if you bake cakes on more
than one level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally at first. If
this occurs, do not change the temper-
ature setting. The differences equalize
during the baking procedure.
TIPS ON BAKING
Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The cake is not browned
enough underneath.
Wrong shelf position. Place the cake lower.
The cake sinks (becomes
soggy, lumpy, streaky). The oven temperature is
too high.
The next time you bake
set a slightly lower oven
temperature.
The cake sinks (becomes
soggy, lumpy, streaky). The baking time is too
short.
Set a longer baking time.
Baking times cannot be
reduced by setting high-
er temperatures.
The cake sinks (becomes
soggy, lumpy, streaky). There is too much liquid
in the mixture.
Use less liquid. Pay atten-
tion to mixing times, es-
pecially if you use a mix-
ing machine.
The cake is too dry.
The oven temperature is
too low.
The next time you bake
set a higher oven temper-
ature.
The cake is too dry.
The baking time is too
long.
The next time you bake
set a shorter baking time.
The cake browns uneven-
