Baking
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the
appliance you had before. Adapt your usual set-
tings (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 before 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 temperature 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 al-
ways brown equally at first. If this occurs, do not
change the temperature setting. The differences
equalize during the baking procedure.

oven shelves are evenly spaced when more than
