9.2 Baking
General instructions
• Your new appliance may 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.
• With longer baking times, the appli-
ance can be switched off about 10 mi-
nutes before the end of baking time,
to use the residual heat.
When you use frozen food, the trays
in the appliance can twist during bak-
ing. 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
special recipe, look for the one that is
almost 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 tem-
perature setting. The differences
equalize during the baking procedure.
• Unless otherwise stated, the values in
the tables assume that the appliance
is cold when the cooking starts.
