11. OVEN - 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.
11.1 Top oven
The top oven is smaller than the main oven. It
has 3 shelf positions. Use it to cook smaller
quantities of food. It is especially good for
baking fruitcakes, cookies, savoury flans or
quiche.
11.2 Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
11.3 Baking
For the first baking, use the lower
temperature.
You can extend the baking time by 10 – 15
minutes if you bake cakes on more than one
shelf position.
18 ENGLISH

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 distort during baking.
When the trays are cold again, the distortions
disappear.
11.4 Tips on baking
Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The bottom of the cake is not
