Recipe Book

• Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally at first. If
this occurs, do not change the tempera-
ture 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.
