HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
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.

Roasting
Roasting dishes
• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast (please read the instructions of the manufacturer).
• Large roasting joints can be roasted directly in the deep pan (if present) or on the wire
shelf above the deep pan.
• Roast lean meats in a roasting tin with a lid. This will keep the meat more succulent.
• All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be roasted in the roasting
tin without the lid.
