HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to "Safety information" chapter.
Inner side of door
On the inner side of the oven door you can find:
• the numbers of the shelf levels
• information about the oven functions, recommended shelf levels and temperatures
for typical dishes.
The temperature and baking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the
recipes, quality and quantity of the ingredients used.
Baking
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the appliance you had before. Adapt
your usual settings (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.
Helpful hints and tips 9

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 always brown equally at first. If this oc-
curs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences equalize during the bak-
ing procedure.

Preserving
• Only use usual preserving jars of the same dimension.
• Do not use jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins.
• Use the first shelf level from the bottom.
• Use the baking tray. You can put six 1-litre jars maximum on it.
• Fill all the jars to the same level and close them correctly.
• Put the jars on the shelf, make sure that they do not touch each other.
• Fill approximately 1/2 litre of water into the flat baking tray to have sufficient mois-
ture in the oven.
• When the liquid lightly starts to bubble in the first jars (after about 35-60 minutes
with 1 litre jars), switch off the oven or decrease the temperature to 100°C ( see table).
