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.
Cooking recommendations
Your oven may bake or roast differently to
the oven you had before. The below
tables provide you with the standard
settings for temperature, cooking time and
shelf position.
If you cannot find the settings for a special
recipe, look for the similar one.
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.
