9. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are guidelines
only. They depend on the rec-
ipes and the quality and quantity
of the ingredients used.
9.1 Baking
General instructions
• Your new oven can bake or roast dif-
ferently to the appliance you had be-
fore. Adapt your usual settings (tem-
perature, cooking times) and shelf po-
sitions to the values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, you can de-
activate the oven approximately 10 mi-
nutes before the end of the baking
time and then use the residual heat.
When you cook frozen food, the trays
in the oven can twist during baking.
When the trays become cold again,
the distortions are gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
• The manufacturer recommends that
you 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.
• You can extend baking times 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 occurs, do not change the tem-
perature setting. The differences
equalize during the baking procedure.

9.5 Roasting
• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast
(refer to the instructions of the manu-
facturer).
• You can roast large roasting joints di-
rectly in the deep pan (if present) or
on the wire shelf above the deep pan.
• Roast lean meats in the roasting tin
with the lid. This keeps 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.
• We recommend that you cook meat
and fish weighing 1 kg and above in
the oven.
• To prevent the meat juices or fat from
burning onto the pan, put some liquid
into the deep pan.
• If necessary, turn the roast (after 1 / 2 -
2 / 3 of the cooking time).
• Baste large roasts and poultry with
their juices several times during roast-
ing. This gives better roasting results.
• You can deactivate the appliance ap-
proximately 10 minutes before the
end of the roasting time, and use the
residual heat.
