HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Inner side of door
In some models on the inner side of the door you can find:
• the numbers of the shelf positions (selected models)
• information about the heating functions, recommended shelf positions and tempera-
tures for typical dishes (selected models).
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 positions to the values in the ta-
bles.
• 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 always brown equally at first. If this oc-
curs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences equalize during the baking
procedure.
