10. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
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.
10.1 Cooking
recommendations
Your oven may bake or roast differently
to the oven you had before. The tables
below show recommended settings for
temperature, cooking time and shelf
position for specific types of the food.
If you cannot find the settings for a
special recipe, look for the similar one.
10.2 Inner side of the door
On the inner side of the door you can
find:
• the numbers of the shelf positions.
• information about the oven functions,
recommended shelf positions and
temperatures for dishes.
10.3 Baking
Use the lower temperature the first time.
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. There is no
need to change the temperature setting
if an unequal browning occurs. The
differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can twist during baking.
When the trays become cold again, the
distortions disappear.
